Active nama-shu. The shwashiness is irresistible, and the yogurt-like acidity accentuates the freshness and crispness of the raw sake. Great for summer sake. But it's not just that, it's also estery, with a hint of fullness in the second half.
Taste level 7/10
Upright aroma is gorgeous. Pineapple-like esters. No gassiness on the palate. Dryer than expected.
The ginjo aroma is solid and a bit unusual.

The Shiki series expresses the seasons with the same rice and the same rice polishing ratio. It is an unfiltered, unfiltered, single shot fire-refining sake.
It has a refreshing taste that is perfect for summer. It is dry but more gorgeous than expected with a touch of sweetness. The acidity is good.

Why is Saga sake so good? Junmai sake with excellent rice fullness. This body goes well with fatty mackerel. Slightly sweet and robust.
Preferred 10/10
Outstanding clarity and the umami of rice that is typical of junmai sake spreads on the palate. It is round and full, but also has a refreshing summery flavor. This is my favorite summer sake so far. The label is also refreshing.
Shichida is the best.

This is a new experience. Junmai sake, quite dry but with a strong ginjo aroma and a strong sense of gas. I was surprised that such a sake existed. Delicious. On the other hand, it has a spicy taste on the palate that I expected from the aroma to be a little sweet, so my tongue was surprised.

Summer sake Drunken Whale. The bottle is refreshing and summery. The ginjo aroma is mild, and the in-mouth aroma comes from the top to the middle of the bottle. 16% alcohol, so the last alcohol taste is relatively lingering. It has no peculiarities and has a great sharpness. It is very drinkable, which is what a summer sake should be.

Gently fragrant ginjo aroma. The freshness is typical of nama-shu, with a slight gasiness. It is a junmai sake, but it is like a ginjo-shu. Excellent transparency. The smoothness when you drink it is amazing. Great cosmetics.
Taste degree 9/10
I put it in the freezer for a while to make it kinny and then drank it. It has a pleasant sourness like yogurt. The esteriness is noticeable from the top to the middle notes, but it's not at all harsh and it goes through refreshingly.
I added sansho (Japanese pepper) as a pairing. It has a wonderful scent. If too much is added, the citrusy freshness will take away the ginjo aroma, but it is very good as a flavor enhancer.

A pure sake without any miscellaneous parts (blame at the time of Kamitanko). As the name suggests, it has a sense of transparency. In addition, it has the freshness and crispness of nama-shu, and the body of a pure sake.
Slightly sweet but pure.
Taste degree 8/10
It has an estery top, a thick alcohol feel because it's a raw wine, and a sense of body in the middle. The aftertaste is not harsh and has a sense of slipping away.
Taste level 7/10
The top-tasting ginjo aroma is rather subdued, but the pineapple-like, slightly sweet and heavy melon-like aroma at the top is very gorgeous and gives the impression of spring. From there, it has a slightly light rice flavor and a slightly lingering aftertaste.

The gasiness (slightly strong) in the mouth is pleasant. The wine is full of freshness, and the acidity from the middle to the end is just what it should be! The acidity is just what you would expect from a junmai sake. It is a junmai sake, but it is also estery and graceful.

Mitsui no Kotobuki after watching the movie First Slam Dunk. It has a gentle esteriness (pineapple-like) and a great sharpness from the rice flavor. This is the best.
I used to think that the big dry wines lacked a little bit of flavor, but this is great.
