KamoshibitokuheijiSAUVEGA 純米大吟醸酒 雄町純米大吟醸

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!

Junmai sake by Saku. The first thing that hits the palate is sourness. After that, there is a sweetness reminiscent of apple honey. It is yogurt-like. It is totally different from the ginjo sake Saku I have had so far.

This is too good for a junmai ginjo that costs less than 1,500 yen. The upper aroma is not strong, but the in-mouth aroma is gorgeous, reminiscent of jasmine or white floral, and the rice is indescribably juicy. The aftertaste is not harsh and cuts off moderately.

A zodiac bottle of Hidakami. Slightly ginjo aroma at the top. Slightly ginjo aroma at the top, with a spread of rice notes in the middle and a strong acidity that cuts through quickly.

The top is slightly gassy, with a melon-like mouthfeel that makes you think it is a ginjo. From the middle, you can feel the roundness, sweetness and flavor of the rice, and the last part dissipates without tartness. Simply wonderful!

Yamagata Masamune: Dry Junmai following Inazo. The moment it enters the mouth, it has overwhelming acidity and gassiness. It reminds me of Flax Cat. It is completely different from the so-called dry traditional style. It has a sharpness, but the aroma in the mouth is quite fruity.

Yamagata Masamune's standard product brewed with sake rice from the brewery's own rice paddies. It stands out for its juiciness on the palate. The ginjo aroma is not very strong in the upper titling, but the in-mouth aroma is amazing, like when you bite into a piece of fruit!

9 A gorgeous, fresh, even ripe, strawberry-like aroma that you can smell the moment you put your nose close to it. Slightly gassy. The alcohol is a bit strong at 17 degrees, but it is still great.
