Koji
Individualistic. Very powerful. Made from "Enishinomai" sake rice produced in Shimane Prefecture. The flavor of rice. Mild flavor and sweetness from one summer of maturation. It is said to be named after the symbol of Tsuwano, the Taishogaya Inari Shrine. We are very impressed with the great "strength" of the original sake from this historic town.

It has a firm weight. It has a heavy aftertaste of koji. It may be good at room temperature. I am glad I bought it because I like Kuroda Kanbei.

It has a very dry taste with a hint of umami on the tongue, which flows down quickly. It is a reminder of the climate of Sado Island, which withstands the wind. Purchased at Niigata Station, Yukikuni Shoten.

Kido" is good after all. Smooth and full. It has a wonderful cleanliness without any cloying taste. It is one of the breweries I would like to visit.

It was just right for the overly sweet sukiyaki hot pot. Clearly sweet. Chilled.

This is an excellent sake! The simple label is unexpectedly fruity and gorgeously light. It is clear and refreshing when served cold. It is truly heavenly when served cool in the lingering summer heat.

It has a sharp, dry taste toward the bottom and a slight aroma toward the top. We bought a bottle at Kyoto Station and enjoyed it with yellowtail sashimi.

Attracted by the name "Hotaru" and the label. I drank it cold. It is said that this is the creek behind the brewery where fireflies fly around. The environment where fireflies can live must be a well-preserved clear stream. It is refreshing, but not too sharp and soft on the palate. Since it is billed as a "summer sake," I imagined it would have a sharp taste like shaved ice, but when I drank it, I found it to be gentle, soft, and mild. It reminded me of the original coolness of summer, even though the global environment has become so hot that it makes me want to jump into the air conditioner. I was looking for sake from Tochigi Prefecture on the map of Japan where I have already tasted sake, because I had not yet reached Tochigi Prefecture. The taste of sake has a local story and invites reflection. Purchased at Yamauchiya, Nippori in August, 2012

Aoki Sake Brewery's Yukio from Tsururei. Intended as a cool drink. It has a neat dry sharpness. It goes in without hesitation. I drank it while looking at the frosted glass of the chilled cup. The casual design of the cup is also excellent.
