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.

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.

Slightly sake-like when served cold, it goes well with dishes with strong flavors. It is good when warmed to lukewarm to expand its flavor.

Strong flavor with a very nice sweetness and fullness of the rice. This is my first time to try Nasuhikari, but it has a lot of potential!

Stable Tochigi line. It may be similar to the Tochigi line, but it is still my favorite. It has good umami and sharpness even when served cold. It is also good at room temperature and lukewarm. It may be the perfection of the taste of Omachi from the Kinugawa River system.

The balance is excellent even among active nigori. The ease of drinking and the taste, including the fizzy sensation that you don't have to be careful when opening the bottle, make it suitable for everyone.
