The stylishly named Night&Dance sake from Yoshida Kurau. According to the brewer's description, it is a low-alcohol modern Yamahai sake.
The bubbling sound when the bottle is opened confirms that the gas is blocked. The first thing to notice is the sweetness of the rice from the aroma. However, it is very light on the palate, and from the taste to the aftertaste, there is a hint of rice sweetness and a slight Yamahai flavor, but it is not at all dull. It is a kind of dangerous sake that can be drunk in large gulps due to its low alcohol content.
PS: When I drank it the next day, the sweetness of the sake and the moderate acidity of modern Yamahai came out and it was even better. This kind of sake actually tastes best on the second day or so.

I bought "Kaze no Mori ALPHA2 Konojonaki Hana Zaruwakari" with other Kaze no Mori at a liquor store. The other Kaze no Mori was in the 1000 yen range, so I was caught off guard and bought it, and was surprised to find the receipt in the 4000 yen range.
When I opened the bottle, I heard a bubbling sound like champagne. The gas is well packed. Sourness and gas like white wine from the palate. Then the sweetness of the rice follows, and it is amplified through the aftertaste.
It is a very modern sake wine-type sake.
Note: I drank about 3 gou of this sake and it didn't leave any aftertaste the next day. I feel the quality of the sake is also high.

Posted although not strictly speaking sake. It is a lemon liqueur made with Kinryo brewing alcohol. Start with soda. It is not the usual soft drink lemon flavor of fruit juice and sweetener, but has a good taste and aroma of real lemon, and the alcohol content is low at 8%, so it is just like "lemonade" and you can enjoy it with a gulp.

Genzai, which is also being talked about as the next "Tobiroki". From the moment it is opened, the sound of sake is alive, which sake lovers will understand. From the mouthfeel, a pleasant sweetness runs through the mouth at once.
It is indeed similar to the lineage of Tobiroki and Hirotogawa, but I imagine it to be a little sweeter than them. It is good enough now, but it is likely to be further refined in the future, and we can look forward to its future development.

Finally obtained a bottle of Natsu-no-shippu, a well-known summer sake. From the aroma, it has a pleasant rice sweetness. The palate is fresh and gently sweet, and it disappears crisply in the mouth while remaining light and refreshing.
I was surprised by its lightness, which I would not have expected from a junmai ginjo. It is good as a summer sake as it is, but it might be good to let it sit for a while.

The brewery's limited-edition mansaku, purchased at Hinomaru Brewery in May, is served in a tamanzaku boinokuchi, also purchased at the brewery.
Although the label says that the aroma should be kept to a minimum, the aroma has a moderate sweetness of rice. The aroma is certainly subdued on the palate, but the moderate acidity and clean taste keeps the drinker from getting tired of drinking it. It also goes well with the side dish of boiled bracken.

I bought a bottle of Hachisen summer ginjo last year, which I fell in love with at first sight.
I immediately heard a nice bubbling sound when I opened the bottle. The lightness characteristic of summer ginjo from the first sip is perfect for the early summer weather. It is light but sweet, and the alcohol content is only 13%, so you can drink it in gulps, which is dangerous in a sense.
It was a good decision to buy it again this year.
