The moderate sweetness of the rice rushes through the mouth at once, but it is easy to drink without the excessive body and dullness that is often found in junmai ginjos. This sake is somewhere between classic and modern.

I happened to come across this sake when I visited Fukuhara Sake Shop. It is a "illegitimate" sake under a different brand name of Shuho Shuzo, and is a rare sake with a very limited number of distributors. The specs are undisclosed, but it is said to be more polished than Junmai Daiginjo.
The aroma is elegant and sweet like a good Junmai Daiginjo. The elegant aroma rushes through the mouth at first, but it quickly fades away as the sake finishes. Instead, the koji aroma lingers in the mouth as a pleasant aftertaste, which also fades away quickly.
It is rare to find a sake that is this elegant and has both a pleasant lingering aftertaste and a good sharpness, and this is a "hole-in-the-wall" sake that has not yet been fully discovered. This is too cheap at 1,650 yen.

Takashimizu in a heightened Akita mood.
When drunk cold, it is refreshing on the palate while the koji-like sweetness and aroma can be felt in the back of the mouth through the flavor. When it is served cold (at room temperature), the koji flavor becomes stronger from the aroma, and the taste of koji can be felt firmly on the palate.

It is a raw wine with a bit of a dry oak flavor, but it was easy to drink because the body was not harsh.

Kaguraki Masamune Special Honjozo Bessen Nama-zume.
The aroma is clean and sweet. The mouthfeel is soft and light like water, but the sweetness of the rice gradually becomes stronger and stronger on the palate, running through the mouth and nose. Yet, the aftertaste is so sharp that you can drink as much as you want. It is the kind of sake that makes you drink too much of it.

The moment the bottle is opened, it is bubbly like champagne. The aroma is of gentle apples. The palate is overwhelmingly easier to drink than ordinary junmai ginjos, with a slight effervescence and a gentle sweetness that one would not expect from a junmai ginjo. It is dry and has an outstandingly sharp aftertaste.

The moment you open it, you hear a pop like champagne. From the aroma, the sweetness of the rice is strong. The sweet aroma rushes through the mouth at once. Yet, there is no harshness at all, and the aftertaste is clean and crisp. The low alcohol content makes it easy to drink, and in a sense, it is a dangerous sake.

From the aroma, the sweetness of the rice reaches your brain. The sweetness of the rice comes through in the mouth with just the right amount of gusto, yet there is no dull aftertaste.

A spring limited edition sake from Drunken Whale. It is a light nigori sake of Hanagoromo.
I saw it at a liquor store and bought it without a second thought.
From the aroma, it has a fresh Junmai Daiginjo aroma. The aroma spreads through the mouth, and then it goes straight through to the sharp aftertaste. The flavor is not too strong, so it can be paired with any dish.

I got a bottle of Kikki Masamune Kojo-shu refRain type-FG at Hasegawa!
The aroma is faintly fruity. From the palate, it is both gentle and fresh, with a tactile sensation like a refreshing type of fruit juice. It slowly fades away in the aftertaste, leaving its refreshing aftertaste on the palate. The freshness does not mean that it is weak, but rather that it has a core that gives a pleasant sensation in the mouth, and then fades away at just the right point.

Today, while it is still cold, it is starting to feel a little like spring. I bought a bottle of Izumihashi's Sakura Tonbo, which has a spring-like label, at a liquor store. I was told that it was once-fired.
From the aroma, it has the gusto and freshness of a junmai ginjo. When you actually drink it, you will feel the freshness of Junmai Ginjyo rush through your mouth at once.

Serve cold. It is smooth on the palate with a slight banana flavor on the finish. It is a perfect sake for sipping with a small glass of sake in the evening.
