Cute label sake from the northern land.
Soft, calpis-like aroma. The light sweetness of rice and yogurt-like flavor is matched with a refreshing acidity and strong carbonation. It has a refreshing aftertaste and can be easily paired with a variety of dishes.
It is also good to drink a cooled sake while warming up under a kotatsu (table heater).

A freshly stored sake of the revived Honor Kunimitsu, using No. 9 yeast.
It has a clean apple aroma. It has a light mouthfeel with a mild acidity and umami that spreads out, and then breaks off easily with an astringent taste. It is dry, but there is no sense of alcohol.
It is a good match with liver patties.

Niida's barrel sake. They use cedar from their own mountain. This is the first time for me to drink barrel sake.
Oh, it has a soft and woody aroma. There is a hint of sweetness. It has a mellow, rich, sweet and sour taste, but the woody flavor pulls the whole flavor together.
It is easier to drink than expected, and it is easy to match with food.

Sake made on Iki Island in Nagasaki Prefecture, unfiltered, unpasteurized sake. I like the label, which could be called a modern classic.
It has a pineapple aroma and piquancy, plus a dark sweetness, but it is strangely clear and fruity.
I think it is always good to drink.

Sake with a cool name and label, aged sake suitable for warming sake, produced in 2021.
Aged sake suitable for warming up, of course.
It has a sweet and sour aroma with a sense of maturity. The sweetness starts with a hint of sugar, followed by a rush of rich umami and acidity, which brings out the full-bodied sweetness.
It tastes good even if it is a little lukewarm, but it is most enjoyable when it is heated to hot or even very hot and sighs with pleasure.

This is the first sake from the brewery I have ever had. Yamadanishiki Yamahai.
The aroma is of banana and melon. It has a carbonated texture on the tongue and a gentle sweetness that is not typical of a sake with a sake strength of +13, followed by a rich acidity and rich umami. The lingering bitterness tightens the flavor.
Serve with simmered dishes or grilled fish. It is also good with leftover sausages.

I bought this simple labeled sake because I was curious.
When warmed up, it has a robust lactic acid aroma, a gentle sweetness, and a full, rich umami. It has a nice lingering aftertaste that seems to soak in.
At room temperature, it has a slightly sweet and sour rice aroma with a banana-like flavor. The juicy umami comes as a surprise as it rises from the mild sweetness.
I thought it would be good warmed up, but it may be good in various ways.

Gikyo's raw sake, 60% Special A Yamada-Nishiki polished rice. Each bottle was wrapped in newspaper.
The aroma is faintly melon-like. The slightly full-bodied, straightforward sweetness and gradually spreading acidity overlap with a robust umami, leaving a lingering aftertaste.
A wonderful sake that takes you from an approachable start to a sake-like finish.

Sake made with Koshihikari rice and black malted rice. It is a rare combination, and the sake is bottle-fired only once, which shows the brewery's commitment to quality.
The aroma is a mixture of subtle ginjo aroma and cocoa nuance. Is it my imagination?
It started with a mild sweetness, followed by a bunch of light citrus juicy acidity. The aftertaste leaves a bit of citrus bitterness, and then it just hangs on.
It's a type I haven't had very often, but it's delicious.

Fukuoka sake. Chilled.
It has a sweet aroma of koji malt that is also refreshing. The mild sweetness of rice that spreads before you know it lingers for a long time, and the elegant acidity and umami gently bring the flavor together.
It is like adding sweetness to the pure sake of Shibarihizuru. It is wonderful on its own, and is also an excellent match for food.

Honu is the Hawaiian word for sea turtle. I missed the season by a long shot.
I chilled it.

Goes well with soaked salmon roe in soy sauce.

I wonder if this is a new series. I heard that they are using ku-e as characters.
Slightly citrusy aroma. The fine bubbles and melon-like light sweetness start, followed by a light acidity that lasts for a long time. The aftertaste is astringent and quickly fades.
Although it is 13%, it has a satisfying taste and blends well with food.
