The aroma is a fruit aroma with no hint of artificiality, and even though it is sake, the fragrance alone is enchanting. The taste is beautifully Fukushima-like, but with a slightly full sweetness, and the acidity is not sharp, but rather accompanies the taste. It is not heavy, but well-balanced and loved by everyone.

In the mouth, it has a surprisingly strong body that one would not expect from the alcohol content. There are some spreading sweetness and chocolate nuances, which may be the difference between this and Ihyakumangoku. In conclusion, this is a food sake type that combines the clarity typical of Niigata with the fullness derived from Koshitanrei, and has a classical sense of security and a modern sense of transparency. Pairing] Japanese cuisine with dashi broth in general, grilled white fish with salt, tempura, cold tofu, lightly seasoned simmered dishes, etc. Repeat Score] 2.0

The aroma is of fresh green apples, and the flavor is more like grape than muscat, which is what you get when you drink Suminoe. I think there are not many breweries that have this aroma. The taste is light, with restrained parameters. It is a sharp sake with a fruity flavor that goes well with light-flavored foods as a mid-meal drink. It is a bottle that I would like to keep on hand at home with Hakurakusei. Pairing] Sashimi, sushi, soba noodles, grilled white fish, tempura, etc. Repeat Score] 2.5

It cuts off cleanly and smoothly. Impression] A mellow dry daiginjo. A master brewer who won a gold medal at the National New Sake Competition in 2024. I bought this bottle as a souvenir when I participated in Yonezuru's rice planting, but you would never think it would be bottled as a countermeasure against alosoaking for the examination. Before the alkaloids, the nose has a complex aroma including white peaches from a cerulenin-resistant strain. However, it is quite mild and elegant. The taste is beautiful and elegant with moderate sweetness and acidity. The sake has a clean and elegant taste with just the right amount of sweetness and acidity, and the alkaloids are not at all deliberate, which makes the aftertaste refreshing. Pairing】Pairs well with white fish sashimi, seafood hot pot, crab cream croquettes, marinated scallops, shrimp dumplings, etc. (Internet information) Repeat Score] 2.0

Fruity and umami flavors remain in good balance and cut off cleanly. Impression: Mellow, medium-dry with body. Tsururei is known for its light, dry taste, but this is a different world, a mellow, structured style. The aroma has a fresh fruit aroma unique to nama-shu, and the taste has a punchy attack and sweetness typical of nama-shu. The fullness derived from Yamada-Nishiki is well expressed, with a combination of flamboyance and rice flavor. The taste is unusual for a Niigata sake. However, I think that such a sake should at least be listed as a draft sake on the menu. I can't expect it to be just Tsururei Junmai Ginjo (laugh). I thought the price was a little high for Tsururei. I should try adding water. Pairing] Teriyaki yellowtail and braised beef Repeat Score】1.5

Umami and bitterness remain in the aftertaste and disappear sharply. Pairing] Personally, I like to pair it with oily sashimi and grilled fish. Impression] Mellow and dry with a lightness. The aroma is mild, with a refreshing ginjo aroma of green apples. When served cold, it is so fresh that you don't feel the 70% rice polishing. The taste is refreshing with a sharp acidity. It seems to take on a different appearance when the temperature is raised. I've had it several times, so I'll wait for a while to try it again. ...30 minutes later It was true that a thicker acidity and umami flavor that wasn't there at first appeared. Next time, I'll have it hot. Repeat Score] 2.0

The fruity aroma lingers slightly, but disappears after a short while. Impression: A mellow, fruity Junmai Daiginjo. I've recently become a fan of Suminoe and collect all the ones I can find on the Internet. This is a high-end sake made from Yamadanishiki produced in Hyogo Prefecture. The aroma is gorgeous and fruity, with hints of white peaches. The taste is broad, as is typical of Yamadanishiki, but it has a gentle and beautiful impression, with a neat structure that is typical of Suminoe. Personally, I prefer the Nakadare, but it is a great sake in the sense that it shows the brewery's capabilities. Pairing: White fish sashimi, sushi, chilled soba noodles, and boiled hamo (pike conger). Repeat Score] 2.0

It is designed to be very dry with a sake meter of +12, but the umami of the rice can be felt even in the dryness. The alcohol taste is a bit harsh on its own, but it is quite good as a food sake. I drank it with salted squid and salmon roe marinated in soy sauce, and it went perfectly with them. It is also suitable for warming up, and since it becomes a little milky, it is best drunk with hot tofu.
