Although it is a 59% junmai sake, it has a low miscellaneous taste. Miyamanishiki is used. Moderate apple-like fruitiness and sweetness. Good chilled or at room temperature.
HOKEN is a super dry sake. The sake degree is +10, and it is made from Hachitanishiki. It is crisp and dry. It goes well with sashimi of white fish. The lower the temperature, the better the dryness.
90 points. Aisan's Hououmida. It has a cool name, Black Phoenix. The taste is very smooth and fruity, which is typical of Aizan. It is a junmai ginjo, and it still has a good sake flavor.
It is a 35% Daiginjo made with "Yuinoka" rice from Iwate prefecture. It's hard to get the character of a refined sake polished to this level, but it has a stronger sweetness than Yamadanishiki. It tastes like a peach. Of course it is delicious.
I hit the jackpot when I bought the label. It is made with Hitomebore from Miyagi prefecture. It is very gentle and smooth to the touch. It's a little fruity with just the right amount of sweetness. Melon or banana would be a good analogy. When the temperature rises, the sweetness comes to the fore, so it is best to drink it chilled.
This sake is said to have been stored in Chardonnay barrels. There is only a little vanilla, which is considered to be the so-called Chardonnay oakiness. The sweetness is strong and sticky. The rice is 55% Dewa Sanzano. I prefer it a little spicier.
This is a summer gin of Noriguchi Naohiko Laboratory. The rice used is Gohyakumangoku. It has a unique strong aroma of rice. It feels like a rice shochu liqueur. The alcohol is 17 degrees and strong. It is good for the person who want to enjoy the strong taste. 85/100 points.
SEA by Akatake. 82/100 points. This is a new summer bottle that was inspired by the sea. Although it is a junmai-shu, it has little miscellaneous taste. It is a little tangy. It's not Akatake's style, but something new.
90 points. This sake is from Miwa in Nara prefecture. The water of the Miwa mountain is used. It is served at room temperature. It has a gorgeous aroma and sweetness. It tastes like white peach or banana. However, it has a clean and crisp taste like Junmai-shu.
88 points. The sake rating is +3, but the acidity is not high, and it is slightly dry. However, it is quite crisp and delicious. I would like to drink it cold.
