As a junmai ginjo, I expected it to have a rich aroma, but the taste was clean and refreshing, in the category of so-called "dry". However, the aroma wafted down the throat. Strangely enough, it goes well with cheese. I do not know the rice used to make this sake. Polishing ratio is 50%.

I bought a bottle of sake in Matsumoto in the fall, put it away in the fridge and completely forgot to drink it. Two months after I bought it, I opened the bottle. It has a rich aroma and a dry, refreshing taste. It has a punchy taste. I paired it with a one-pot dish of turnips with grated radish. Both the nabe and the sake went well and I was pleasantly intoxicated. The rice used for the sake is unknown. Polishing ratio is 55%.

Mature and elegant taste. It is a delicious sake that is pleasant to drink with no unpleasant taste. You may think it has about the same alcohol content as wine, but while you are drinking it, you will become tipsy. I think it goes well with simmered dishes. I recommend this sake. Sake rice is Miyamanishiki Polishing ratio is 55

A summer-only version of Matsumidori. The wine-like fruity taste spreads in the mouth and is pleasant. I paired it with a marinated mackerel, and it went perfectly with it. I also paired it with a different kind of salad, such as a Caesar salad with kale, but there was nothing incongruous about it. It is perfect for the hot summer season. Sake rice is Omachi Polishing ratio is 50%.

Matsu Midori S.tokyo, which I drank last month, is available this month as a slightly sparkling aperitif, named Petillant. I think this is an aperitif like champagne.

It is a sake with a sensation unlike any other I have ever had. It has a peculiar taste in the mouth, but as it passes down the throat, a pleasant aroma spreads. It has a wine-like alcohol taste, but it is a little weak. It is definitely more suitable for French cuisine than Japanese food. Sake rice is Gohyakumangoku
