Ordered from Kigawaya in Sakata. It is inexpensive at 2,090 yen per bottle. The aroma has a melon-like aroma that spreads widely. When you put it in your mouth, it has a sharpness, but the taste is more like a honeydew melon with a cucumber-like blue sweetness that spreads at once. It makes me want to try some spicy pickled melon roe from Shonai. It is a great beer for the price, but the spread of the sweetness is a bit strong. The Bakuren is the type of sake that would keep me drinking more, but it's a nice sake that provides some fan service.

It was available at Takashimaya at a discount of one yen per shareholder. Rice sweetness, mildly pineapple, mango, and a sweet caramel-like aroma are also present in the back. The taste is dry, and the texture is not smooth, but the acidity of the sake's sake yeast makes it go down very quickly without tiring. I was not a fan of gift-priced Junmai Daiginjos, but this is a drinkable Junmai Daiginjo standard, comparable to Daishichi's Minowamon. It is really delicious.

Purchased at Inzai's Sake Pot. Cotton candy, does it also have a very crisp blue banana-like aroma when swirled? It's dry, but it still has a very sweet, full-bodied atmosphere when Aizan bites into it, and it seems to cancel out Yuki no Bijin's unique clean, crisp, dry taste. It's delicious, but makes me want to drink an even slimmer style of Yuki no Bijin.

Purchased at a sake pot in Inzai. I like Izumo Fuji, so I keep a regular eye on it, but the summer sake was good...but only hiyaoroshi...I bought it just in case I missed the timing and couldn't buy it...but it was a great decision. The aroma is not flashy, but it foreshadows a pink grapefruit-like sourness, The palate is dry, with a structure as the acidity gradually spreads in the mouth, but the richness of the acidity also gives the impression of pink grapefruit. The aftertaste is quite long. It is not a very eastern style sake, and although it is not flashy, it is well made. Izumo Fuji is still a seasonal sake that I would like to keep under control.

Bonjour_kohei, good morning 😃. Izumo Fuji's seasonal sake is delicious 😋. I'm looking forward to seeing the snow clouds following the autumn clouds 🤗I hope you can bring out the spring clouds if possible😄.

Bonjour_kohei
Purchased at Nakamura Sake Shop in Toride, I think it was a little over 1500 yen. It is so-called hiya oroshi. The aroma has a mildly spreading atmosphere, with a surprisingly sour, apricot-like feeling in the background. The texture is a bit mellow and dry, but the sweetness of the rice spreads through the palate. The aroma and flavor are mild, but the sweet impression on the palate gives it a nice flavor profile, making it a good match for autumnal flavors. (In fact, it went very well with grilled swordfish). The acidity was also mild and tasty... To be honest, I wish Meiri Sake Brewery would promote Suifu Boast more, not Vice Shogun or something.

Purchased from the hometown of Sakata City. The aroma is mild, with a hint of green apple. The taste is dry, with a light acidity that gives a sense of tightness, the riceiness is fine, with no unnecessary sweetness, and a pleasant bitterness lingers in the aftertaste. It is a smart and elegant sake, not the richly aromatic or sweet type that one might expect from this brand.

Purchased at Nakamura Sake Shop in Toride. The aroma is of a pulpy red type of melon, a bit like a smooth chervil, and the sake lees flavor is not too strong. The taste is heavy, with other elements more noticeable than the smoothness of the raw sake. The alcohol content is 19%, but it is not too strong and punchy. I looked at the production date and found that it was dated 24.11...but it looks like it was released last year. I bought this sake because I wanted to drink a nama-shu, but I guess it was not the right sake for this time of the year when hiyaoroshi sake is distributed. It's normally tasty, but maybe for a cooler time of year. It has a sweetness, but it is not spread out in a mischievous way, and the center of gravity is heavy and cohesive.

At the time I drank it with some of the more flamboyant aromas and some of the smoother Tohoku sake, so it seemed mild among the Niigata Tanrei, but it is a sake that will keep you drinking without getting tired of drinking it. I also got the impression that it was slightly creamy or smooth, as is the case with Hachikaisan's special honjozo, which I had compared to the others.

Shomine no Fuji, the family crest series. The locally popular "secret events" have an old-fashioned, sober impression, but the family crest series is distinctly different from them. It is not flashy, but the sake has a balanced flavor and a moderately tight impression. And the price is low.

Bonjour_kohei
I thought Kangiku was a style that contrasted well with the light, clean, urban and oceanic flavors of the city. Recently, I often hear from young people that Kangiku is delicious, so I saw it and bought it, thinking that they had renewed their style. The bottle format and the label seemed to be modernized. The actual taste is different from the regular sake of the past, as the base is light and dry, but it is made in a way that it is unfiltered, lightly nigori (light nigori), and raw sake, which gives it a sweetness that is different from the regular sake of the past, as the flavor and the sweetness from sake lees are added. However, I think it is derived from these specs, and I predict that it will still be a light, dry, slim type when it is fired and filtered. This is light and tasty with just the right amount of sweetness, but because it is raw, its distribution is limited... I am also wondering what is happening to regular sake and other types of sake today.

Purchased during a visit to the Umegawa liquor store in Shonai-machi. Classic standard junmai sake. A junmai sake with moderate body and a hint of rice sweetness. The current head brewer seems to be sticking to this style, which warms up quickly. There are many modern styles of sake in Shonai, as well as some that are light, tasty, and beautiful in keeping with the refined food culture of Tsuruoka-Sakata, but I think this one is really more along the lines of a classic. It seems to be the most standard among the brands, and I would like to try something different in the future.

Although it is said to be dry, the base has a rich sweetness from the rice, and the sake has a flavor typical of Oita, which I thought was a little sweet and refreshing. I should have bought a four-pack because it was so good.

This was a summer nama-shu from Shuho, which seems to be one of the major brands in Yamagata Prefecture. It had the smoothness, lightness, and sweetness of a nama-shu, but I thought the base sake was rather dry and dry if it was fire-aged. I would like to try the regular sake next time.

It is a jungin summer sake from Hazen Hakubai's Tawarakusetsu brand, polished to 50, but with a certain junmai-like heaviness that left a bit of a classic feel to it. The smoothness and other characteristics of Tawarasetsu, which is released during the winter season, were more to my taste.

Purchased at the Taiyo Shuzo Wasui warehouse. This is a special honjozo sake that is released only in small bottles. I prefer the special honjozo to the junmai and ginjo types because of its well-balanced flavor and drinkability, but the nama-shu has a unique smoothness and flavor that makes it delicious as well. I have only seen it at the sake brewery and at the Ponshu-kan in Niigata Station, and it is only available at Niigata Station transit stops...I hope they can do something about that.

Purchased at Sentoku Shuzo in Nobeoka. Although from Kyushu, the overall flavor was light and refreshing, like sake from Kochi, so I dared to choose a sake with a hint of sweetness, which I thought would add a sweet element to the sake. It did not betray my expectations, and the sake was refreshing with a hint of sweetness from the kasumi sake. It is not a bad sake as a flavorful flirtation.

Mutsu Otoko, the old brand name of Hachinohe Shuzo, famous for Mutsu Hachisen, has an image of a lighter and more extended sake than Hachisen, but in recent years its unpasteurized version has become a little less sweet and fruity than in the past. I would like to try a non-draft Mutsu Otoko Sake next time to see if it is as good.

Purchased at Funabashi Tobu. The label on the back of the bottle says that it should be enjoyed as a warmed sake. Although it has a sake strength of 7, it is a thick, colorful sake with a distinctive rice sweetness. It is a good sake to be served with dishes that are rich and strong. It can be served with dishes such as black beans or kelp rolls.
