もけけ
I entered the store unaware that the sake was on the shelves, and was in a hurry to buy it when I saw customers coming in one after another to buy just this one. It was a bit hard like new sake, but it was delicious with a juicy melon flavor that I hadn't tasted in a long time. It was my first time to taste Tazake, but it was well-balanced without being too sweet, which explains why it is so popular.

もけけ
I knew it would be good before I bought it because Kangiku had released a nigori, but when I tried it, I found it to be delicious. It has the silky nigori taste with a refreshing taste that is typical of Kangiku, and you can feel the umami of the rice. It was 13% alcohol, and I noticed that there were only a few bottles left... Even if it were a bottle, it would run out soon.

I bought it because I heard it was cosy, and it is indeed cosy. It has a subtle sweetness and is easy to drink and sharp enough not to interfere with meals. It is certainly less impactful on average than the more popular ones, but for 1100 yen, I think it is a bargain.

もけけ
It just happened to be in stock when I went there, so I bought it without hesitation! It was sold out right in front of me and I heard it was hard to find, so I chose a bottle. Like the Jyushiyo, it was very well-balanced, and I could see why it was so popular. It was a little spicier as the day went on, so it wasn't as great all the way through as the Jyushiyo, but I didn't regret it at all. I wonder when I can get it next...

Purchased at a brewery during a trip to Nagano. Shocking after Senkori and Kangiku! (Jyushidai is a legend). Sweet and juicy, right in the middle of my favorites, and the strength of the raw sake. It was gone in no time at all... Too bad there are not many places in Tokyo that carry it. I'd like to try other kinds!

I wanted to drink hiyaoroshi, so I bought this one, which I thought was affordable and tasty. It has a rice flavor and a hint of sweetness that is typical of Japanese sake, and it has a sharpness that is stronger than expected, so much so that I thought it might be drier than "Dohara" (dry). It was so good with the saury sashimi that someone wrote about, it blended in perfectly!

もけけ
I wanted to try it once because it is very popular. I think it is somewhat similar to Niimasa. Is it more acidic? It is a low alcohol, fire-roasted sake, so it is mild and goes well with a meal. Personally, I think it would be more comfortable to drink with a meal.

I was hesitant to buy it after hearing the waiter recommend it to others, but it was pretty damn good! Better than I had expected since the oratory. The pear taste? It has the sweetness of a pear, but also the strength of unfiltered raw sake, which strikes my taste buds. I was satisfied with the taste, which was as good as the top-ranked ones.

I bought this sake at the first liquor store I entered because I wanted a food sake. It was certainly a better fit for a meal than sweet sake, and I could see why it was so important to drink it differently. It was a little thick, but not as spicy as I would have liked.

The owner told me, "This is sweet!" As he said, it was fruity and sweet. It has the cleanliness of a junmai daiginjo, but with a taste I like, and it is very satisfying! It is not so good with a meal, or rather, the sweetness is noticeable, so it is better to drink it as an aperitif or after a meal.

When I visited Ajinomachidaya, this sake happened to be in stock. It is said to be a limited edition sake exclusively for Kabutomushi no Machidaya, and I bought it because I wanted to try Kabutomushi. I bought it because I wanted to try Kabutomushi. I was impressed by its lightness and high acidity as a summer sake, and I could see why it was called an adult lemon squash. However, I think the Modern Mukuji had more of an impact on me. I don't like too much acidity, so it was a little unsatisfying.

I was looking for a bottle of Ni-Rabbit and found a sparkling one, so I bought it thinking it would be good for the season. It was a complex wine, but it was a little bit too fruity for me to keep drinking it.

もけけ
I went to this store because they have a lot of Tenbi, but I bought this one that was recommended to me because it had a gassy taste. As the name suggests, it was brewed with seven different yeasts, so it had a complex taste. But it was well-balanced, and I found it to be an ordinary tasty sake, which made me realize that (with all due respect) there are some tasty sake even if they are not so famous.

I drank it after Jyushiyo, so it is not as good as it should be, but I still like the taste. Maybe it is because it is fire-brewed once, but it tastes refreshing and has a tropical, pineapple-like flavor. I wonder if it is because it is fire-brewed as well that the taste does not change much after a few days. Whatever the case, it was delicious!

I won a lottery for a certain sacred place and got it! I have had a glass of Jyushiyo at a sake bar once in a while, but I am so happy to be able to drink Jyushiyo at home.... The sweetness, umami, bitterness, and sharpness are in really good balance, so much so that I think it would be good no matter who drank it. As one would expect, the balance does get lost over time, but it is still on the same level as other popular sake. I wonder when a sake that can match or surpass it will be released. Anyway, it was a great experience. Thank you very much!

Bought my first bottle! Well, they didn't have a No. 4 bottle, but I had been thinking for a while that Sharaku and Kangiku could be made in a single bottle, so I took the plunge and bought them. Anyway, it is easy to drink without any habits. It has a strong pineapple feeling, a thick sweetness, and the same Aizan flavor as the previous Ryu Ryu (Tetsu), and I never get tired of drinking it. Obviously, it was drinking faster than my previous bottles of No. 4, which explains why I was getting drunk so fast😅. I thought it would take me more than a month to finish it, but it will be gone in a little over two weeks. I'm starting to lose my liver days these days...

もけけ
On the way back from a trip to Kamogawa, I bought a bottle at Seishige Sake Shop in Tateyama. The owner recommended Narumi (Narumi) as long as it was fruity. It was modest, but certainly fruity, with a gaseous taste that can only be found in fresh bottles, and it was close to my favorite flavor. However, it was a little thin and a little unsatisfying, perhaps because I had been drinking only the top-ranked sake recently. The owner was a friendly person who was so particular about his sake that he went directly to a brewery in Fukuoka to bottle the sake.

I had heard rumors that it was sweet, and when I bought it, it really was sweet. It was really sweet, but it also had the rice-like taste of Yamadanishiki that came later, and it tasted as good as its reputation. I was looking for something sweet, but it was a little too sweet for me.
