This is a comment from an amateur drinker. We had an unusual sake from an unusual area and it was very smooth and tasty. The sake was more spicy than tasty. It was a great sake with excellent cost performance. The store owner is in the picture, but please let it go. Thank you very much.

This is a comment from an amateur sake lover. I had a hot Kamotsuru today. It sounds like a fine sake, so I had to drink it carefully, but I drank it quickly. It has a good balance of umami and acidity, with a hint of sweetness. I am grateful for the good price and the availability of this famous Hiroshima sake.

This is a comment from an amateur drinker. Today, I had a cup of sake that was left at a standing bar run by a young owner. The sake is sweet and voluminous, with an overall feeling of doshiness. It is a well-balanced sake, including the aftertaste. Personally, I wish it was a little spicier, but I am grateful to be able to drink it.

This is a comment from an amateur sake lover. I'm getting some sake at the store today. It is a sake where the strength of the alcohol content packs a punch without worrying about the umami or dryness. In a way, it is a masculine sake with a weight and strength that you can rely on. It is the kind of sake that tells you to think about the sake after a while. The taste is basically dry, and it is a relentlessly jarring sake that is dry all the way through. Thank you.

This is a comment from an amateur sake lover. It is a very mild sake with a strong rice flavor that is typical of junmai sake, and the balance is very good. The balance is very mild. The sweetness of the rice, or umami, prevails. It is a cosy sake for sipping. Thank you.

This is a comment from an amateur sake lover. For dry sake lovers, this is a sake with a sharpness that flows down the throat. It is a wonderful sake with a little bit of umami taste that spreads in the mouth, followed by a good amount of spiciness that flows down the throat. It was recommended by a liquor store in my neighborhood, and I can only say that it is as good as it gets. Personally, I can enjoy this sake without feeling uncomfortable because western Japan's sake suits my palate. Thank you!

This is a comment from a layman who likes to drink. It's been almost 10 years since I first heard of the sake called Kourou. It's been a while since I've had the chance to try it, and it brought back nostalgia and memories of that time together like a flashback. I drank it again, comparing it to my own tastes and preferences at the time, and it still spreads a delicious, rich and glamorous flavor in my mouth. It was a little dry, but the rich flavor and ease of drinking made it smooth and very enjoyable. Thank you.

This is a comment from a layman who likes to drink. Tsukinoi is one of my favorite sake breweries, and I enjoyed the Hiyaororo, and now I have another brand of Junmai sake called Hikoichi. This time, I had a different brand of Junmai-shu called Hikoichi. It tasted dry and spread from the mouth to the throat, flowing smoothly down the throat and leaving a slight lingering taste of spiciness at the end, which is a must for dry sake lovers. It's not too dry or harsh, and it's not too refreshing. There seems to be some controversy about the new brewer, but as I am only familiar with the new flavor of Tsuki no Ii, I really enjoyed it. Thank you!

This is a comment from a layman who likes to drink. This is a sake from Kyoto that I received as a souvenir. Junmai Ginjo Haneda, a local sake from Kitayama, Kyoto I had my own stereotype of today's sake being sweet, but this one had a strong umami flavor with a well-balanced spiciness, and I enjoyed it! Thank you, junior F-kun!

This will be a comment from a layman who likes to drink. As the name suggests, this is a hardcore junmai-shu that is worthy of the super dry taste. The spiciness is not too sharp, and the flavor is not the umami flavor of today. I've been drinking it for the past 10 years, and it's one of my favorite sakes. Thank you 😊.

This is a comment from an amateur drinker. The first sip has a sweet aroma for a moment, and then a dry throat finishes. The sweetness and umami of the dry taste are also present, and even I, a dry taste lover, am satisfied with the taste.

This is a comment from an amateur drinker. As the name suggests, it is dry. From the first sip, the spiciness swells in your mouth and stimulates you. It is a sake where the sweetness of the rice changes to spiciness in an instant. It is spicy enough for the dry party. This sake seems to have won Silver at the International Wine Challenge. Perhaps, if you drink it with a wine glass, you can enjoy it with a different taste.

W HIDA HOMARE Amateur drinker's comment. It is very easy to drink, has a slight aroma, and a rich taste like a daiginjo spreads to the mouth. It's been a while since I've encountered a sake with a good flavor and just a hint of spiciness. Thank you. Additional information: The meaning of "W" is Watanabe (Watanabe Brewery), World (for the world market), and finally Warai (comedy).

This is a comment from an amateur drinker. It has a thick taste, with a strong umami flavor and a slight acidity. It is a sake with a rich rice flavor that spreads in the mouth. There is a sweet aftertaste that lingers on the palate, but it is not unpleasant and has an aged taste. We hope you find it useful.

We had it because it was new. It is a sake that has a dry young punch and then a sweetness that runs through your mouth and down your throat. The youthfulness prevails in the taste.

These are the comments of an amateur sake lover. Please forgive me in advance. The label is unique, so I couldn't imagine what it would taste like, but when I actually drank it, the spicy taste hit my throat from the first sip. Personally, I like the taste and it makes my throat feel like a desert from the moment I drink it. If you like dry sake, I hope you will try it. We hope you find it useful.

It is a stable and solid Junmaishu. The sake is dry with a slight gentle umami flavor that comes through. Wakayama has a lot of plum and fruit wines, but I think this sake and Kido are excellent and represent Wakayama very well. This is just my personal taste, so please forgive me. Finally, on the ingredients label in the photo, there is the name of the master brewer, which is a testament to his high sense of responsibility and confidence in his work. I hope you find it useful.

It is a Junmai-shu where the umami is stronger than the acidity. It is generally classified as a dry sake, but the umami is stronger than the sourness and it is a heavy sake. It is a sake that can be savored on its own. It also has a character that can be beaten by dark dishes. We hope you find it useful.

This is an amateur comment from a sake lover. Stand Up Gokyo Gohashi Yamaguchi Prefecture Junmai Ginjo Basically a dry Junmai Ginjo. It has a smooth taste and a rich flavor in the mouth, but it is not heavy and has a good balance. As a sake-within-a-sake, it is quite an excellent sake. We hope you find it useful.

This is a comment from an amateur sake lover. Banshu Ikken Super Dry Junmai Super Dry Sanyo Cup Shuzo Co. It gives the impression of being a straightforward dry sake. In addition, it has a strong acidity, which gives it a sense of balance characteristic of sake made in western Japan. If my taste buds are wrong, I would be very grateful for your advice. Please forgive me if this is a personal feedback. I have been a fan of Banshu Ikken for the past 10 years, and when I lived in the Kansai region, I was able to get fresh sake and enjoyed it from season to season. Today, I enjoyed tasting it again. I have a sense of nostalgia, a sense of what it should have been like, what it should be like. However, the sake I've tasted recently has no sourness, and I've come to feel that Banshu Ikken has a strong sourness, which I thought I liked, but it's not as refreshing, and I'm feeling a bit bewildered. I'd love to hear your thoughts on this drink. I know this is redundant, but I love this drink and I personally support it. Please understand that I think it is a personal taste problem.
