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.

At a tavern in Shizuoka Station ASTY. Transparency and a hint of sweetness. I drank it with shizoka (Japanese soup) and it went well with it.

It's been a year. It's not particularly fizzy, but it has a cider-like taste with a persistent sweetness and sourness. It is easy to drink and delicious.

Hiyaoroshi remaining at this time of the year. The rice is roughly polished to 80%. The first impression is of acidity. After that, a sense of transparency and the umami of the rice can be felt, and it is delicious. Aromatic and dry.

KAMENOMOTO is made from 100% Kame-no-o. It is characterized by its crisp, dry taste with a firm sweet flavor. Kame-no-o is expensive, so it is hard to afford, but this one is just under 2,000 yen for a No. 4 bottle, so it is within reach.

The rice is polished to a ratio of 50%. It is fully fermented, which gives it the usual sharp, dry dry taste with added acidity and a sense of richness. It can be drunk as a mealtime sake or on its own.

This is a limited edition sake made with Kami no Ho🌾 from the warmer climate of Shima. I don't know how growing rice in a warmer climate affects sake rice (I don't get the impression that Shima is a rice farm), but I think it's an interesting experiment: ✨️ The taste is full-bodied, with a delicious sweetness that spreads across the palate. Very tasty sake 😋.

Light effervescence when opened. The lees particles are clearly visible in the cloudy sake. The taste is rich and mellow. It has a strong acidity from a delicious sweetness. The taste is deep, impressive, and delicious.
