Buy it at the direct sales store in Fushimi. They bottle it in front of you from a tank set up outside the store through a faucet set up inside the store. With a milling ratio of 49%, it has a clear and transparent taste with a characteristic bitterness and complexity.

Purchased at Kiyozakura Kappa Country in Fushimi for 440 yen per 1-gou bottle. Although inexpensive for a junmai daiginjo, it has perfect specifications, including a ginjo aroma, a clear mouthfeel, and a delicious sweetness. This is a product that can only be made by a large scale brewery.

Gekkeikan's sales pitch for a 1-gouze bottle of sake that can be drunk anywhere (in reality, it is difficult to drink anywhere casually). The price was 330 yen. I drank it without any expectations, but it was surprisingly tasty. It has a delicious sweetness and little miscellaneous taste.

Mellow aroma, honey-like taste. It has a noble sake-like flavor. The alcohol content is low at 13 degrees. It seems to be a good match for different tastes and drinking styles. It is good with light dishes or with Camembert cheese.

Use of Kami no Ho. It is once-hot. The palate is light and fresh. Later on, it has a delicious flavor that is typical of Kami no Hoto.

Junmai Ginjo-ginshu brewed with Association 701 yeast (Masumi yeast). It has a very effervescent taste. It is gorgeous and light, and because it is a pure sake, it has a flavor that is steeped in flavor. Very delicious 😋.

A series of badges from Miyazaki Honten, famous for its Kimmiya shochu released a few years ago. The blue one is made from Yamadanishiki. It has a light effervescence when the bottle is opened. The taste is full and fruity. It has a slightly sweet taste, but it is not harsh, and it is a good mellow syochu liqueur liked by everyone.

This sake is also limited to Iwanai-machi, Hokkaido. Since it is a daiginjo, we started with a cold sake. It has a green apple aroma, and after a short time of extra cooling in the freezer, it has a clear mouthfeel. It is easy to drink, but it is a little too good to drink in a hurry. I think it is better to savor it slowly as a stand-alone sake than as a mealtime drink.

Limited edition sake from Iwanai-cho, Hokkaido. Sake rice is made from Iwanai-grown Comet. It has a mild taste with a characteristic bitterness. It is a versatile sake that can be drunk cold, at room temperature, or warmed (lukewarm). I don't have the space to keep a bottle in the fridge at all times, so I drink most of it at room temperature or on the rocks. I drink most of my sake at room temperature or on the rocks, but I definitely enjoy a small portion of chilled sake. Surprisingly, I found it tastes better at room temperature. On the rocks is a bit thin and unreliable.

It is a very tasty sake with a good balance of sweetness, spiciness, and acidity. At just under 1,800 yen for a 4-pack, it's a cosy sake these days, and good enough that I would recommend it to anyone I know.

Very floral ginjo aroma, green apple-like and fresh. No effervescence. It is quite sweet without lees. It is not so different when mixed with the lees, but it has a slightly bitter taste that adds complexity and makes it interesting.

When the bottle is opened, it is quite effervescent. It has a light and dry taste with a sweet umami flavor that is not too strong, and is very tasty. No words are needed. It is simply delicious.

Slightly ginjo aroma. Mellow, unfiltered, unfiltered, raw sake with a strong umami flavor, dry but with a sweet taste. It is a sake to be drunk at least once a winter.

Initial impression is quite sweet (sake degree ±0). The umami of OMACHI is certain👍. If it is to be used as an aperitif, it would be better to pair it with dark dishes. I don't think it is suitable as an aperitif, but it can be served alone after a meal.
