gomibako
Fullness, sharpness, and sweetness are combined at a high level. There is no rice taste, the aroma is weak, and there is no sourness or bitterness.
There are no sharp edges, but it is refreshing and very easy to drink.

gomibako
It is said to be a product limited to Murakami City, Niigata Prefecture.
It does not have much aroma, little grueliness, and a slight taste of rice. It has a rich but clean aftertaste.
Not exactly my favorite, but delicious.
It tastes like a more refined version of the sake my grandfather used to drink...
And it is cheap!
No wonder it is popular among the locals for their evening drinks. (A bottle costs about 2,000 yen).

Good balance of acidity, sweetness and rice flavor.
It is refreshing, but a little alcoholic.

Moderate sweetness, moderate richness, acidity...
The ginjo aroma is weak, with a slight alcohol taste.
It is nice if you drink about half of it, shake the bottle, and mix it with air.
It seems to be a limited edition from a liquor store in Kakunodate.
It was a sake that goes well with Japanese food.

The aroma is not as strong as advertised.
However, the balance of sweetness, richness, and acidity is to my liking. There is no bitterness and a slight taste of rice.
Very easy to drink.
I like it the best among the 3 sake tasting sets.

Compared to the water color, the sweetness, acidity, and richness are stronger.
I don't think it has much of a ginjo aroma.
For me, the acidity is too strong, so I would have to choose the right accompaniment...
It might be good on its own.

Almost no aroma, weak richness. No bitterness.
Slightly sweet and acidic.
Drinkable like water.
If it had a stronger aroma and sweeter taste, it would be my favorite type.
But it goes down smoothly...dangerous sake.

It does not seem to be a ginjo-shu, but it has a subtle aroma.
No full-bodied flavor!
When drunk at room temperature, it smells of alcohol...but it calms down when it is cooled.
I thought it was a little lacking, but at this price, I have no complaints!
I think it is a rather cosy sake.

I met this sake at a tavern during a trip to Kumamoto.
I don't usually drink sweet sake, but it was so good that I bought a bottle at a directly managed store attached to a roadside station.
The ginjo aroma is weak, but the sweetness is crystal clear...
No bitterness, no cloying taste at all!
I would like to buy it again, but it seems to be hard to find in the Kanto area...

The ginjo aroma is weak. However, it has a moderate sweetness, sharpness, and cleanness.
It does not taste much like rice, and the aroma is weak...
It is a "water" that makes you feel weak when you drink it. It is soothing, but dangerous.

Purchased on a trip to Niigata.
It was recommended by a local sake shop.
It has just the right amount of sweetness, just the right amount of cleanness, and is very easy to drink. However, the aroma is weak.
If the aroma had been stronger, I would have decided to repeat the purchase...
I heard that it was made by a person who trained at Miyazumi, which is famous for Sharaku. I would like to try other products.

Is the alcohol too strong, perhaps because it is undiluted?
As the name suggests, it has a fruity aroma and a strong acidity.
I felt it did not go well with soy sauce, perhaps because the sourness lingered afterwards.
I think it is good to enjoy on its own, but I don't like sour food, so I don't think I would repeat it...

The ginjo aroma is weak.
Full-bodied but clean. There is no bitterness.
It is an orthodox ginjo-shu that goes with everything.
Of course, it is delicious, but if we were to say it is luxurious, we would like it to have some special characteristics.

Ginjo aroma is strong.
The refreshing aroma is pleasant.
No bitterness.
I am weak against the word "limited edition" and it was one of the reasons why I bought it, but it was a hit.
It goes well both before and during a meal ✨.

The ginjo aroma is weak.
The taste of rice is also weak.
The sweetness is moderate and refreshing.
The aroma is weak, but other than that, it has an orthodox image as a ginjo-shu.
It does not go well with strong-flavored snacks.
It is the type of sake that can be drunk easily on its own, and before you know it, you are about to die.
So far, Fukushima sake is a good match 😋.

Slightly ginjo aroma.
However, the sweetness is moderate. The richness is also modest. No rice flavor. It may be a little unsatisfactory.
I would like to see something more distinctive.

However, the sweetness, richness, and refreshing feeling after drinking are combined at a high level.
The rice flavor is also strong, but there is no harsh taste, so it is very easy to drink...
It is a personal favorite.
I bought it in Gujo Hachiman, which I love.
I would like to buy it again next time I visit.

As the name suggests, it is like drinking apple juice.
It is like dessert wine...or should I say dessert sake?
It may be difficult to pair it with a meal, but it is delicious on its own.
It is very easy to drink, so be careful not to drink too much.

The ginjo aroma is weak.
It is light and refreshing.
It is easy to drink, but it is a good choice of accompaniment.
Even soy sauce seems to take away the flavor and aroma.
If you serve it with light snacks with only salt, the flavor and aroma of the sake will be enhanced.

It seems to be a ginjo-shu.
It has a nice aroma and is refreshing on the throat.
It has a slight taste of rice, which changes to sweetness in the mouth.
It is refreshing but has a strong flavor, so I think it is good as a food sake.
