Niwa no Uguisuなつがこい特別純米

The moment I drank it, I was surprised by its clarity. It is so clear that it reminds one of a clear stream. It is hard to believe that the alcohol content is 15%. The aroma is slightly floral, with a gentle rice flavor. Since malic acid-producing yeast is used, there are no spikes in acidity.

I've found the best summer sake in the cosmopolitan world. It's low in alcohol, so it's easy to drink, melon top, good aftertaste, perfect freshness, and no miscellaneous taste. It is truly a summer sake.

A revived sake from Iki Island. The moment you drink it, it is sweet, gorgeous, moderately acidic and above all juicy! Spring-like. It has a hint of honey-like aroma but does not leave a sticky aftertaste.

At the moment of drinking, an overwhelming sense of fruit juice (melon). It continues with sweetness until the last sip and aftertaste. The gasiness is also pleasant. People who like dry wine may not like it, but it has a great taste.

Hishiko Junmai Dry Nama is a new genre of dry sake that is gorgeous but dry. It has a melon-like floral top and a crisp finish, and the freshness from the top to the middle of the bottle is very much like that of a dry sake. It is extremely delicious!

Junmai sake found at a roadside station during a trip to Higashi Izu. It is a junmai sake, but it has a gorgeous, banana-melon-like middle. It is subtle and does not spoil the taste of the meal. I paired it with firefly squid in early spring and it was wonderful.

Esthetic but not too assertive, wine-like but with the softness, umami, and roundness of sake. It's great. The top is gorgeous, the middle is umami and expands, and the last is fragrant and disappears without any alcohol smell. It is the best!

This nigorizake is so thick that it thickens to a thick consistency. However, it is soft on the palate, with a good balance of acidity, sweetness, and umami. It is best paired with a sprinkling of sansho (Japanese pepper) to increase the freshness of the sake.

It is very good. It has a strawberry-like esteriness, perhaps because it is a daiginjo, but it is also restrained, and the rice flavor spreads without a ricey smell. The balance of sweetness and acidity is exquisite and sharp. It also has a floral and soft texture. It is one of the finest and most delicious sake of the floral type at this price. It is said that they use a yeast that does not produce aroma.

This is a freshly squeezed, unblended sake available at a sake brewery across the street from a roadside station in Nikko. The label does not say, but it is a light nigori (slight nigori) with a strong acidity. The taste is clean and without many peculiarities.

Comparison with Gen no Tomo. This one is fruity, similar to the impression of the previous ones. The label says it has a lychee-like flavor, but it is not only refreshing, but also has a peach-like sweetness. The acidity comes in the latter half of the bottle and cuts out quickly. Great!
