It is not my favorite sake, but I bought it because of a pop-up saying it goes well with sashimi, and it certainly does! It is not my favorite sake, but I bought it because of a pop-up saying it goes well with sashimi. I was told that this sake is sold under a different brand name in my hometown, but is a staple at izakaya (Japanese style pubs). I can see why.

I was surprised at how well the sweetness of rice can be used to make such a beautiful sake. I was surprised at how well it was made. It is not clean, but beautiful. But not too neat and clean. It is delicious!

蔵の華 すっかり冷蔵庫で忘れていたのだか、飲み頃を過ぎる時こんなに味落ちるのか〜と思ったが蔵の華の造りの違い? 久々だからかちょこっとイメージと違った。でもいい酒である!

I liked it when I was in my 30s, but it has been more than 10 years since I last had a taste, and it is delicious! Once again, I was impressed by the excellent balance of this sake.

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" (^_^;)

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.

Shooting star 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 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!
