Purchased a bottle of Urakasumi. The price was about 3,000 yen. Polishing ratio 65 It is more of a umami than a dry sake. It also has a hint of sweetness. Very easy to drink. Personally, however, I prefer Urakasumi Honjozo Honjikomi in terms of taste and cost. I thought I would try that one again next time.

Purchased at a liquor store in Tokushige, Midori-ku, Nagoya. The price is about 2,500 yen for 750ml. Polishing ratio 55 They have a good selection of sake. This time, I bought Saku Hiyayogoshi, my friend's choice. It is a dry sake with a thick and umami flavor. We had it with sea bream and raw oysters purchased at Isshiki Sakana Market in Nishio. Mmmm. I've been drinking only sweet sake recently, but this is good. It made me think that dry sake is also possible. It is very tasty and goes well with sashimi! But maybe I still like the sweet taste. LOL!

At Mrs. Choice at Phyll Kyowa Ekimae store. 603 yen for 720ml. Too cheap, I'm nervous... lol Sake - 2 First, the smell...a dry aroma. And then the taste...dry style sweet with a touch of tang...? Well, it's not bad, but... I wonder if it is worth the price.

It costs about 1,000 yen for 720 ml. The label on the back says it has a fruity banana-like aroma. When I drank it... Too bananas! LOL. But it's also a little watery rather than thick. But it's good. It can be a choice. If you see it, please try it.

Buy a modern sake from Miyagi, Miyakanbai. The price was 1,761 yen for 720 ml. Polishing ratio 55%. Cost performance is excellent. It is delicious. Umami, sweetness, and thickness are in perfect balance. This is a definite favorite. I bought it when I visited my friend's house and my friend and his wife didn't stop buying more. Too bad there is no liquor store near my house that sells it. I would definitely buy it again.

Purchased on the recommendation of a liquor store. Local companies often buy them as souvenirs for their clients. It seems to have been made in collaboration with a sake brewer. It seems to have been made in collaboration with a sake brewer. There was a five yen in the must-have pouch. I believe it cost around 2,500 yen for a 720 ml bottle. Polishing ratio 50%. It seems to be named after its hometown, Kyowa, which has produced many gold medalists at Shigakukan, famous for wrestling, and Oishi Dojo, famous for judo. The taste is...ummmm. It is sweet, but also a little watery and tender. I have the impression that it is a little expensive in terms of cost. If you have a chance, please try it.

It was given to me as a gift from a senior. Polishing ratio 65 Explanation from a senior This long-selling product has been on the market since 1969, when it was the first freshly pressed, unpasteurized sake in Japan. The sake is bottled straight from the tank without heat, dilution with water, or filtration. It is Shiraoi's standard sake with the fresh sweetness of new sake and the thick, rich taste of unfiltered sake. I see what you mean when I try it, it does indeed have the unique flavor and taste of nama-zake in its refreshing sweetness. Personally, it did not particularly sting me, but it was a delicious sake.

Urakasumi. A new major sake. Good taste. Cheap. As expected of a famous sake. About 1,500 yen for 720ml (I got it from the store) Polishing ratio 65 Sweet, not too thick, but not watery. It's a great cospa. At any rate, I found that Urakasumi is all I need for a satisfying drinking session. Naturally, I will make it my favorite.

At the all-you-can-drink Ginjo-Maguro Kanayama branch of Hikarizo's group store. Polishing ratio 60 Hmmm...the name caught my eye and I tried it. If I had to say, I would say it was a little on the dry side. Not enough to buy it, but if it were available in the all-you-can-drink menu, it would be a good candidate. I'm not sure I'd buy it,

Purchased at Liquor Mountain in Aeon Odaka. 720 ml for 1,078 yen including tax. Polishing ratio 50%. Sake degree ±0 It is labeled "Umakuchi". I wonder what it is. Well, I think I know what "Umakuchi" means. It is neither sweet nor dry, but "umakuchi". It seems to be good in terms of cost performance. If I had no other choice, I would choose this one. (Sorry, 🙇‍♂️)

Purchased at Liquor Mountain in Aeon Odaka. 1,140 yen for 720 ml, tax included. I was surprised. I wonder why it tastes sweet, but it tastes watery? It tastes like water. It tastes blurred. It is easy to drink, but not easy to drink. But it is easy to drink. It has no habits, so you can drink it all the time. It's cheap, but I don't think I'd dare to repeat it...? (Sorry 🙇‍♂️)

Purchased at a local liquor store with a sweet recommendation. 720 ml for 1,650 yen including tax. Polishing ratio 50%. Fruity and easy to drink, but a little watery. It has a light aftertaste. Delicious, but a little thicker? I would prefer it to be a little thicker.

We tried a Junmai Daiginjo this time from Fukuwagura (brewed by Imuraya of Azuki Bar), which was delicious the last time we drank it! The 720ml bottle is priced at 3,300 yen including tax. Polishing ratio 40%. Melon-like aroma The taste has a sharpness to the sweetness of the Junmai-Daiginjo we had last time, and I can't describe it well, but it has a clear taste. It's not just sweet (it's like a combination of dry and sweet). Very tasty! I think this one would be easier to pair with other dishes. However, considering the cost-effectiveness, if I had to repeat, I would probably go for the Junmai Ginjo from last time!

I bought it because it was on sale at Costco. The price was about 1,800 yen for 720ml. Polishing ratio 50%. I was excited to learn that it is a sparkling sake. When I drank it...well, it was too sweet. It was too sweet...too sweet...too sweet...too sweet...too sweet. I think it tastes almost the same as "Mio" which became famous as a sparkling sake. The fact that it is a bottle opener, so once you open it, you have to drink the whole bottle at once, is also a little negative. The name is also hard to read. If you look it up on the Internet, you will find the origin of the name. If you have sake this morning, you will be drunk this morning, and if you are sad tomorrow, you will be sad tomorrow (Gekirin Shikan Kotoba). Meaning: If there is good sake, let's drink it today. Personally, it didn't really stick with me.

720ml Unknown price as it was given to me by my mother (she said she bought it but never drank it) Polishing ratio 60 I couldn't find the price on the net... I only got the information that it was jointly developed with Bic, a liquor store (I wonder if that's why it's a "limited edition"). The taste is, for better or for worse, not at all peculiar, and it is a refreshing cold sake that is easy to drink. It is definitely not sweet, but it is not so dry that it can be called dry... At best, anyone can drink it. At worst, it has no personality. That's how I feel about this sake.

First time drinking sake. 990 yen per glass at the store (tax included). Polishing ratio 50%. Slightly "dry" and dry. Slightly fruity. I've been drinking a lot of sweet and fruity wines lately, but I've rediscovered the goodness of dry wines. Goes well with sashimi!

Purchased on the recommendation of a local liquor store. 2,200 yen including tax for 720ml Polishing ratio 60 This sake is brewed at a brewery in Vison, Mie, which is owned by Imuraya, famous for its azuki bar. When I dropped by Vison a long time ago, I thought it was so stylish! I wondered whether I should buy it or not, but then I realized that I didn't buy it (laugh)! I was not sure if I wanted to buy it or not, so I bought it this time! Ummm, it's good... A fruity, refreshingly sweet sake with a slightly fizzy taste (my favorite). I drank it as a refill on a full stomach after finishing Mizutoki (directly pumped nama sake), but it went down a treat. The label is also stylish. Apparently, they also have a draft sake. I really want to drink it. I will drink it with care.

A few years ago, during a trip to Sendai, I drank it at a famous seri-nabe restaurant and fell in love with it at first sight. The next day in Matsushima, I visited several liquor stores to get a bottle, but since then, I have been unable to get it because it is always SOLD OUT on the Internet. But then! I found it the other day at our Rakuten! I bought it immediately! 720ml for 1,760 yen plus 800 yen for shipping! Polishing ratio 60 Refreshing sweetness with a hint of dryness...yum! However, it did not have the same impact on me as it did a few years ago, perhaps due to the fact that I was recently forced to drink a lot of excellent sake by Jiba, who loves sake (memory correction?). Still, it was so good that I would like to buy it again. Thank you very much! Postscript The above is my impression when I drank just sake (no snacks) before dinner. When I drank it today with Ienchu-hua (spicy), I felt it was very tasty. I could drink more and more. Is this what you call a food sake? I re-evaluated.
