This will be a comment from an amateur sake lover. It has been a while since I returned to my parents' house, and I received a rare sake surrounded by fish from the Seto Inland Sea. It has a strong rice flavor and strong acidity. Hot sake is just right. I am grateful to be able to drink good sake again today in good health.

This is a comment from an amateur drinker. This is one of my favorite sakes. This is my first time drinking Nono-san (which means "Kannon-sama" in the Tajima dialect), and it is a refreshing and easy to drink sake. It has a soft, refreshing, clean taste. The flavor is there and refreshing, and I tasted newness. I am thankful to be able to eat healthy and delicious food today.

This will be a comment from an amateur sake lover. When I was about 20 years old, I drank a bottle of Hachiman River sake and was impressed by its taste. At that time, it was Junmai Daiginjo. It had been a while since I went back to my parents' house, so I visited the brewery in person and purchased this sake. I was told that this year's production was the best. It was truly the best in many ways! It was nostalgic and thoughtful, reminding me of my own sake roots. I am thankful that I was able to drink good sake today and in good health. Tonight, we will toast to Yawatagawa with a side of Hiroshima koiwashi!

This is a comment from an amateur sake lover. The other day, I was recommended this sake at my favorite soba restaurant. It was exactly my kind of sake. It was masculine, strong, and dry. Although it was fire-aged, I could feel the strength of the alcohol. It is rare for me to drink sake from Kyushu, so I enjoyed it very much. It went well with the tempura at the soba restaurant, and the flavor was not overpowered! I am thankful that I was able to encounter such wonderful sake this evening as well! I was kind of a straight guy, despite the fact that I am a manly type of drinker. I am thankful that I can drink good sake.

This will be a comment from an amateur drinker. Today I received a sake with an unusual label and a name that sounds right-handed. It is firm and dry. It is a full-bodied sake and the strength of the rice shines through. It is a sake with umami, spiciness, and heaviness. I am thankful to be able to drink good sake today. Thank you😊.

This will be a comment from an amateur sake lover. Today's sake is full-bodied and punchy with a strong rice flavor. As expected, the alcohol content is only 16%. It has a dark taste with a strong umami and dryness. I am grateful to have found another delicious sake tonight and to be able to enjoy it in good health!

This is a comment from an amateur sake lover. The store owner said it was made using a traditional sake yeast yeast, which is not my favorite, but I drank it because I heard it was recommended. It is not like a sake made from a sake yeast yeast yeast, but the sweetness of rice spread out. The strength of the rice shines through in this sake. It seems that this sake is made with minimal heating and filtration to preserve the original flavor of junmai sake, and although it may be bad to say, I felt the aroma and taste of fine mirin. I am thankful that I can drink good sake again today.

This is a comment from an amateur drinker. I had the impression that it was an expensive sake from the bubble era. It has been a long time since I drank it, but I was surprised to find it tasted like this. It is a sake that goes well with evening drinks, and I have the impression that it is an easy-drinking sake with little strength of character. I am thankful that I can drink it well.

This will be a comment from an amateur sake lover. This sake is wonderfully dry, easy to drink and delicious! The flavor is ideal: moist at first sip, smooth down the throat, and settling into dryness at the end. Thank you for another great sake encounter today.

This will be an amateur sake lover's comment. Today I am a fan of sake since I started drinking it. I felt nostalgic, but I also felt it has evolved. It is a dry sake with some acidity. It is a small brewery, but I want to continue to support them. I am grateful to be able to drink good sake today. Thank you very much 😊.

This will be a comment from an amateur sake lover. Today I had a sake that was being offered for tasting and sale at Matsuzakaya in Ueno on a temporary basis. Dry is exactly what it is, but the balance of umami, acidity, and aroma are mixed together to create a wonderful sake with a wonderful harmony. The aroma is more pronounced when drunk in a wine glass. I heard that this sake is a new attempt, but it creates a new dry taste and is a new dry genre. I am thankful to have found another delicious sake tonight. ☺️

This is a comment from an amateur sake lover. Today I opened a bottle of Shinmasa that had been stored in the fridge and had not been drunk for almost 2 years. I have had other Niimasa, but this is the first time for me. At first it seemed sweet, but gradually the taste settled down and the thickness of the raw yeast production and the fresh, slightly carbonated taste of the sake spread to the palate, making it an appealing sake that makes you want to drink more and more. I feel happy to be able to enjoy another delicious sake today. I worked hard on the snacks!

It is a wonderful sake! It is slightly carbonated or rather sweet and refreshing with a good balance between the two, and is quite delicious and impressive. It is located at Kita Herman in Kitahama, Osaka, and I was impressed. I was impressed by the great sake here.
