Light fruitiness.
Body is light 0.3
Mild and easy to drink, with a slight sweetness remaining.
It does not give the impression of being particularly distinctive, but its moderately refreshing aroma and approachable flavor make it a good starter sake. The brightness of the aroma is apparent in the flavor, but the taste is mild, giving it an autumnal feel.

The aroma is mild, with a light fermentation typical of sake.
The body is medium.
It has a powerful flavor and strong acidity, and together with its body, it is more like a white wine made from Riesling than a sake.
It is an impressive sake with a strong impact, but it is pleasant to drink without any cloying taste.
This is a unique sake that I would be happy to buy at the regular price.

Body is slightly medium 1.2
Fruity nose reminiscent of young pineapple.
The flavor lingers in the mouth for a long time.
The taste has a gentle sweetness followed by a sharp acidity.
Although it is a daiginjo, the sweetness and umami of the rice linger. There is a gap between the elegant first impression and the thick finish.
Overall, the impression is mellow and delicious.

The aroma is sweet and savory, but the fragrance is mature.
Body is light1 and lingering taste is small1.
The mild first impression is the same as that of Kangiku, but the taste that follows is very elegant.
The lingering taste is strong and one can tell that good rice was used in the making of this sake.
I was surprised and impressed that such rice is used for sake.
This delicate flavor is only beautiful on its own and does not require any accompaniments.
ps.
We ate a small piece of crab together, and the time was blissful.
It's perfect for sipping on something tasty.
I would definitely like to try the other Jyushidai.

Fresh youthful fruit aroma like green apple. As the temperature rises, sweet and savory rice aroma emerges.
In the mouth, the rounded sweetness and umami of Yamada-Nishiki is felt, followed by acidity and a strong sense of alcohol. The aftertaste is tangy and umami.
It is sweet at first, but the finish is dry, and it is a good sake that you will never get tired of drinking.

Body is light 0.3
Strong aroma of tropical fruits like pineapple.
The flavor is gorgeous.
The first thing that strikes you in the mouth is the tangy, slightly effervescent acidity and spiciness.
Although it is dry, it also has the subtlety of a daiginjo, with an intense umami that lingers for a long time.
This is a wonderful sake that shows off the qualities of Omachi well, as if the roughness has been cut away and the depth increased.

Body is light 1.2
Sweet aroma of fruit jelly and pineapple.
Good balance between volume and mouthfeel, with a hint of acidity wrapped in mild sweetness. A gradual umami taste lingers afterward.
The aroma is syrupy, so it may be difficult to match with food. The acidity is also moderate and mild, so it would be difficult to pair it with sweet foods.
If I had to say so, I would say light-flavored domestic fruits such as loquat and cherry.
It is best enjoyed on its own.
