I bought it at Super Ogino in Yamanashi.
Reasonably priced. It is a dry sake with a rice flavor that is typical of junmai sake. It has a crisp feeling at the moment of drinking and a strong rice flavor when it goes down the throat. It reminds me of what junmai sake is like.
Purchased at a liquor store I stopped by on a whim. My first impression was sweet. I had it with sashimi, sea urchin and squid salad, etc., but it didn't go well with them. What kind of food do you think sweet sake should be paired with to enjoy it even more?
It's been a while since I posted this.
I had it with sweet and sashimi, but I thought it was a bit too much.
Maybe it goes well with edamame, tofu, or other simple snacks.
First try of Shizuoka sake. It was described as dry, with a Sake meter rating of +9.
It is dry and has a mellow taste on the tongue. I felt it was a little too rich, perhaps because I paired it with motsu nabe (motsu hot pot). I took my revenge and paired it with sashimi, seared cod roe, and shishamo (shishamo smelt) the next day and it was perfect. I wonder if there is a sake that goes well with motsu nabe... lol
I found this sake at a liquor store when I went back to my parents' house in Saitama.
I enjoyed it with sashimi, fried horse mackerel, seared cod roe, simmered dishes, etc.
It is sweet. So-called melon type, maybe?
Two types of sake from Tochigi today. My wife chose this one as a comparison to Hououmida.
Compared to Hououmida, it is drier and less harsh, especially on the nose, making it easier to drink and more refreshing. I enjoy it with grilled sea bream kabuto, simmered dishes, and vinegared myoga. I like it.

Thank you very much. At first, I only enjoyed one type of sake per meal, but recently I've become addicted to comparing multiple types of sake in one meal!
It's fun to know the difference and to know what you like!
This is the one I was wondering about. Is it sweet? In addition, after drinking it, you can feel a gusto in the back of your mouth and nose. It is a dish that gives you a strong sense that you are drinking sake. I enjoy it with grilled sea bream kabuto, simmered dishes, and pickled myoga.
I bought this sake on the recommendation of the clerk at the liquor store to compare it with the Izumo Fuji I drank yesterday. It is a strong sake with a strong dry taste. It is a strong sake with impact and went perfectly with the sesame sauce ingredients in the pork shabu-shabu.
I think this sake is relatively reasonable and good value for money!
I enjoyed it with pork shabu-shabu, which I have been into recently. To be honest, I think it lacks a little impact. It is dry but easy to drink, a little too easy to drink. I think it is a very luxurious sake for those who are not used to sake and for those who drink it with a full stomach. I enjoy drinking it lazily.
We had it at a ryokan in Chiba. It tastes dry and gooey. It was a taste that could cover a wide range of dishes at the ryokan: sashimi, boiled fish, tempura. A little strong?
Junmai Daiginjo with a dry taste. There is little feeling of being stuck in the throat.
It has a dry taste, with little tingle in the nose. It does not have a strong impact, but it is perfectly easy to drink!
For those who are not used to sake, this is a good one!
I enjoy it with sashimi. Oh no, I drink too much.
In addition to the spiciness, I can feel the richness or umami on the tip of my tongue. It is a very punchy sake.
I enjoy it with sashimi of sea bream, firefly squid marinated in soy sauce, nameko mushrooms, etc. A good weekend.
It is a different version of the Kamikigen we drank last time. It was dry but not harsh, in other words, easy to drink. Paired with shabu-shabu, which I've been into lately, it's the perfect weekend!
Directly bottled in the upper tank. It is not melon type, but slightly carbonated. We enjoy it with duck and horse mackerel sashimi.
The alcohol content is strong at 17.5 degrees.
