Slightly yellowish. Aroma: When the bottle is opened, there is a slight alcohol taste and a fermentation process aroma. After that, the aroma changes to sweetness like honey and cotton candy. Taste: The sweetness of rice spreads in the mouth, with little acidity and a tangy dryness that lingers on the tongue. Taste: 🍴Flavors such as simmered fish, stewed pork cubes, rich flavor, cheddar cheese, and salami. As the temperature rises, the sweetness increases, so it would be good with Japanese sweets of the molasses type, etc. Addition: it was good with red pesto bought in the U.S! 3.6

Color: golden Aroma: Shaoxing wine, mirin, caramel Taste: Light texture, spreading in the mouth, sweet like molasses, but not soggy, lacks a lingering aftertaste, slightly bitter, caramelized aroma coming through the nose. 🍴: It is light and smooth, so it would go well with sweet and spicy dishes with oil, such as sweet-and-sour pork! If you are looking for something sweet, it goes well with rum raisins. 3.5

Dewa Brilliant Slightly yellowish color Aroma: Ripe sweetness with hints of yellow peach and cotton candy. Taste: Strong sweetness on the first attack, soft on the palate, with a slight lactic acidity, and a slight bitterness in the aftertaste. 🍴:Because of the strong sweetness factor, I would prefer something with a little sweetness factor, such as honey gorgonzola pizza, rather than something with a strong salty flavor. It matches the sweetness of rice, so dishes with sweet sauce such as eel on rice (I'm thinking about it). It is better to drink it cold because it becomes a bit soft when the temperature rises.

Yamada Nishiki Slight carbonation typical of Matsumoto Aroma: Clean, with a hint of pear and other fruitiness. Taste: Gentle on the palate due to the softness of the water, with a slight carbonation spreading across the tongue; acidity is also slightly present, but the gentleness of the flavor prevails. The middle to lingering finish lacks a little bitterness. 🍴 The slightly carbonated and refreshing taste makes it a good match for seafood. The softness on the palate makes it a good match for scallops carpaccio with a little more oil 🙆‍♀️ and the dry finish would also be good with spicy peppery mapo tofu 😊. Memo: I prefer seafood (not only Japanese) to meat.

Color: golden yellow Nose: White flowers, white grapes like Riesling Taste: Gentle acidity on the attack, but soon a honey-like sweetness develops, with a slight bitterness and complexity on the finish. No.1 sake I've had recently: ☝️ Update: I let it sit in the fridge for about 4 months after opening and it tasted more cocoa-like and, if anything, better than when I just opened it 😳😳. 4.2

Aroma: Aroma is subdued, but lactic acidic, such as yogurt Taste: Slightly rough and mild on the tongue, with a hint of rice sweetness that quickly gives way to a crisp aftertaste Personally, I am not a fan of the sludgeiness, so I like to drink it with ice 🙆🙆. 2.8 Lassi-like texture, slight sweetness, so it might go well with green curry, etc.

Aroma: Cotton candy, brown sugar, a little Yomeishu-like Taste: Full and rich rice flavor, little sweetness, strong lactic acidity, lacks a lingering aftertaste, acidity and bitterness overlap, not suitable for beginners It is not suitable for beginners because it lacks a lingering aftertaste and has a combination of acidity and bitterness. Earthenware, inoguchi or sake cups are recommended. Warmed to lukewarm, it is best served with oden, meat and potatoes, and other Japanese dishes that are full of flavor, and with cheeses of medium taste or higher, such as comte.
