Kenshi Sakai
It has a wonderful balance of light nigorigo, cleanness, and umami!
I give it 5 stars as my favorite direction for a sake without much acidity.
I couldn't read the word "sozoma" (^_^;)

Kenshi Sakai
I feel that it is too clean for Dobu. Does this mean that Dobu is dry?

Stable taste♪ Slightly accented with a hint of miscellaneous flavor, is it Akaban Omachi rice? Not bad!
The acidity goes well with the sweetness of today's Saikyo-yaki, although it is not so fizzy that you have to be careful about opening the bottle. When it gets lukewarm, you feel a little bit of a strong miscellaneous flavor, perhaps because it has been a little while since it was manufactured?

This was my first selection because I didn't know of any Oita Prefecture sake brands that came to mind. It was not my favorite, but it was a summer sake, so it had a punchy taste.

The balance of a good Junmai Ginjo sake.
This was the first time for me to drink Hitogokochi sake, but I feel that the sweetness becomes stronger when heated.
I rate it 4 stars, which is a little high for its cost performance.

It is sweet. But you don't feel sake-like sweetness. A little sourness in the sweetness of rice. It may be good for cocktails. Even those who don't like sake can enjoy it.
It is not my favorite direction, but it may be quite good.

It is a classic sake, but I have nothing but respect for the fact that Ginori continues to maintain a solitary taste direction.

The sweetness and sourness of the rice are in harmony.

It has a strong sweetness and a slight acidity, which is a little outside of the direction of what I like in Omachi, but it is excellent both at room temperature and chilled. As the label says, the strength and complexity of Yumachi and the lack of clutter are wonderful!

This is the first time I have tasted this direction of flavor in Omachi. I wonder if this is what it tastes like when aged. The color is not so dark for an aged sake, so it is easy to drink and the richness of the aged sake is enjoyable. Even those who don't like matured sake can enjoy it!

It's not my favorite direction, but it's challenging because it's made with koji from a brewery that also brews natto (fermented soybeans) and it's a sasanishiki...
The atmosphere of natto, or rather the lively taste

sparkling
First sparkling in a long time
I thought the bitterness was like doburoku. I thought the bitterness was doburoku-like, but I could taste the rice flavor in the aftertaste, so it goes well with fish.
It is better to take it out of the fridge and let it come to room temperature for a milder taste.

Hitanishiki
The rice flavor and subtle sake flavor are very pleasant.
It is delicious.
This is my first time to drink Hitachi-Nishiki, and although it has a higher rice polishing ratio than Miyamanishiki, I did not feel any difference between the two (I did not compare them, but only my impression based on my memory).

Is it for people who like a sharp but aftertaste?
It's not my favorite flavor, but it looks good heated. Too bad we can't try heating it up since it's a restaurant.

Not exactly 65% polished rice, but with a bitter accent? Might be a little interesting.

This sense of acidity is exquisite!

The concept of 70% polished rice is not too much, and the sake has a good umami and accentuated flavor.
I feel that the spread of the umami when heated up is more effective in bringing out the flavor of the concept.

A little sharp when cold? When heated up, it does not seem to expand, but it is mild and good.
