. As an amateur, my review may differ from others. Personally, I found it to be a distinctive sake! The nose was quite subdued, with a full aroma of grain-like flavor (different from the aroma found in old or mellow sake), and a stronger hint of fragrance. It was different from the general ginjo aroma. It is sweet with a strong umami flavor and a moderate bitterness in the aftertaste. The lingering aroma after drinking also had a grain-like aroma, which for an amateur like me, was a distinctive flavor! I will learn a little more about it and drink the same brand next year to compare. I will try the same brand next year for comparison.

. Juicy and slightly carbonated with a fruity ginjo aroma. It is a unique brand in Niigata Prefecture, which is known for its light, dry taste. It seems that the number of brewing is determined by the number of times the sake is brewed in a given year, making it a fun brand to follow over the course of a year.

The power of Omachi is expressed in this wine, but it is also well-balanced. The texture is a little bit slow and sweet, but it has a calmer image compared to other Jikin wines. The texture is a little bit tender and sweet, but the image is more subdued than other Jikin wines. The texture is a little bit slow and sweet, but the image is more relaxed compared to other Jikin. 7.5/10

. No rating because I bought an old raw sake. The aroma is similar to that of aged sake, with a complex sweet taste. I wonder if this is an effect of the old style of nama-moto or of the old nama-shu....

. Aroma: Weak capsule aroma. Light on the palate, with a good sharpness. A beautiful and well-balanced sake with few points to be subtracted, even if it has no characteristics. . 7.0/10

. Aroma is pineapple type. Toyonou-ume Itoakashi has a milder aroma and a more coherent taste than Toyonou-ume Itoakashi. We would like to have it as an aperitif.

. I would drink Tobiroki if it was available. I was not impressed when I drank Jungin Black Label, but it was safe and tasty. It was bad that I drank Jikin after that... lol.

Gorgeous pineapple aroma. The taste is a rampant sweet and sour that is hardly beautiful. This is a cup where you can enjoy the characteristics of CEL-24!

. The taste is unquestionably delicious. It is light on the palate, yet sweet and tasty. It has a nice sharpness that quickly recedes. It's a difference in quality.

. The aroma is discreetly fruity. Stronger isoamyl acetate type image than Cap (felt bitter? I need to check it sober). I had the impression that I might not like it at the smell stage, but it is still Mimuro cedar. It is a very refreshing scent that goes away quickly, but it has a coolness to it. It reminded me of turquoise blue. The rice polishing ratio is 60%, but it is satisfying on its own, and considering the price, I felt it is a really good sake to have on hand! 7.5/10

. Gorgeous ginjo aroma (pineapple). The aroma is strong and the sweetness is robust! I think it goes well with strongly seasoned dishes. . Personally, I would like to have a little more acidity, but it is a great value for money at less than 2,000 yen. . 7.0/10 7.0/10

. Typical of light, dry wines. I was less impressed than the Kurobakuren I drank before. I would like to drink it with Sashimi soaked in soy sauce.......lol . 6.5/10

. Discreet honey-like aroma. Pluminess found in Shinsei and Kaze no Mori Alpha1DRY. Slightly thickened and dark sweetness. I felt a stronger sweetness than Denshogiku. It became my favorite brand. . 8.0/10

. Compare with Tanaka Rokugo. Standard Junmai sake with good balance. Aroma of 55% polished rice is moderate. I had it cold this time, but I would like to have it lukewarm to super-heated with oden! . 6.5/10

The flavor is overwhelming. But looking at the production date, I feel it still has a lot of potential... It's a shame that I drank up all the Jikin Tokubetsu Junmai last time I was here... I want to drink this brand at home!

Katsikoma as last week. I didn't feel any smoked sake that I felt last time. Stable Katsuma. It is a treasure trove of umami and tastes free of any other flavors!
