The carbonation is strong, but the rich umami flavor comes through as if it is pushing the carbonation away. I wonder if it is Omachi. The aftertaste is clean. This is a great 13 degrees Celsius.
I buy a bottle of Usu-nigori every year. But sadly, I don't have enough memory to compare the taste. This year, however, it had a good balance of umami and sweetness, and was easy to drink with a clean aftertaste. This happens every year.
Sake from the newest sake brewery in Japan. It has a nice sweetness and a nice umami flavor, and it went in so smoothly that the whole batch was gone in no time.
After purchasing this sake, I happened to go to a bar and had a modern version of the same specs, so today we compared them. This one has more acidity than the modern version, which may be due to the fact that it was just after opening the bottle. Even with that, it is still delicious.
I had only ever had Kariho super dry. I bought it to see what the other ones were like. It has a slight sweetness and a moderate umami. The sweetness lingers until the end.
Purchased because it is a draft version of Matsuo Boast. It is a perfect fit with the sales strategy of the brewery and the liquor store. It is refreshingly sweet and easy to drink. It was gone in no time.

I bought it without a second thought, because it is a secret Yamahai sake, and it is seasonal. It is very rich. The sweetness lasts from the beginning to the end. It is not a food sake.
As it is an old sake from 2014, I expected it to be complex, but it was surprisingly clean and easy to drink. I tried heating it up, but the refreshing feeling remained the same. The taste did not change drastically with an increase in umami.
It goes in soooo smoothly and doesn't interfere with the food. I've read the comments from the brewer, but unfortunately I can't give a detailed report.
