宮泉純米吟醸彗星にごり生

This is a liquor store's distribution product. I was told to be careful when opening the bottle when receiving it, but I managed to open it without skipping a beat. The mouthfeel is quite fizzy. The taste is nigori (cloudy) but also refreshing. I felt a strong sense of melon.

Second bottle of Shizuoka, and since I was in the area, I bought a bottle of Shizuoka sake. I like Aizan, so I chose this one. It has a sweetness that is typical of Aizan, but it also has a light bitterness at the end that is refreshing. It goes well with meals. I like it a lot, but it is not easy to buy.

Purchased at a liquor store in Shizuoka. Kameizumi cel24 had a strong impact on me, so I tried this one as well. It tasted so fruity that the store staff recommended drinking it in a wine glass. The shape of the bottle is also wine.

I found this at a liquor store I entered during a cherry blossom viewing walk. It has been a long time since I have had this Mikotsuru. It has sweetness, but it also has a delicious flavor that is typical of sake. Mikotsuru is my favorite sake brewery. I would like to visit other sake breweries in Suwa again to compare the taste.

I immediately bought it because it was a new brand of my favorite Kangiku. I was told to be careful when opening the bottle, but it flew open beautifully. The first sip is naturally quite fizzy. After that, it has a sweet and fruity taste typical of Kangiku. The next day and after, there was still some fuming. Gradually, the last part of the bottle had a moderate bitterness. There was no miss with Kangiku.

It is a liquor store's hanpukai original. Maybe because it is Mutsu Hachisen from Aomori, I felt the flavor of apple. Is it my imagination? It is fruity and tasty, but also has a strong umami flavor.

I bought Aizan, a cold chrysanthemum, immediately. I think all Kangiku is delicious, but this one is the best I have ever tasted. It is naturally fruity and sweet, but it also has a strong umami taste. It is truly sweet and umami. This has become a brand that I cannot miss every year.

This is the second bottle I prepared for the year-end and New Year's holidays, the Hanayu Shigou bottle. If there is a Yongo bottle, I will definitely buy it. This is the first time I have tasted Yamada-Nishiki, and I think the expression "mellow" is exactly right. It is delicious with a strong umami and sweetness. However, the taste is not cloying. This is a jackpot.
