It tastes like Nanaken!
The mouthfeel is fresher than the others, and it has the feeling of natural water from the Southern Alps (minerally).
From the mid-palate, there are umami and bitterness that are typical of Shichiken.
There is sweetness, but it is pulled by the umami and bitterness, so it is a little hard to taste.
The label on the back says "sourness", but there is a slight lime-like sourness, but not much of what is called sourness.

It is quite heavy for a summer sake!
The same heaviness was felt in the aftertaste of Yamabutsu, but this one is heavier on the palate!
Well, it's just a bit of oriramami.
After that, the rounded sweetness comes to the fore, and the finish is a bit lighter.
Personally, I prefer the standard Junmai for Kezuraku.

This sake has a light, refreshing taste and a gorgeous aroma that wafts through the nose, making it the perfect sake to drink on a hot day!
This refreshing yet well-balanced sweetness and umami are wonderful!

I had an image that Shinkame was heavy (even though I have never drunk it before), but it is surprisingly refreshing, and is a very typical sake!
I didn't feel any heaviness at all from the beginning to the end!
I thought it was a new sake only available in spring, but I found out later that ordinary Shinkame is matured.

Beautifully sweet and tasty, juicy sake that is typical of today's sake.
The aftertaste is a little bitter and sharp.
Not as cute or friendly as the label, but not too sweet, not too heavy, not too light, and overall a good sake!

This is the best summer sake ever, and it's already breaking new records!
This sake is smooth and silky, but the sweetness, umami, and acidity are all well balanced.
The acidity comes first, then the sweetness, and finally the umami.
The lingering aftertaste is fleeting but impactful.

The summer sake with a refreshing + sour taste
Different from Yamori and Mimuro Sugi, it has a summery feel.
It is good that it is not watery and has a sake-like taste even though it is refreshing.
This one is much more drinkable, but not as noteworthy.

Soft and gentle aftertaste, but mellow for an Ihyakumangoku.
The acidity is quite strong, so you will not get tired of drinking it even when it is hot.
The umami is also strong and refreshing.

It is a juicy, mellow sweet sake with a very good balance of sweetness and lightness with a tangy aftertaste.
It can be enjoyed on its own, but as a food sake, it makes both the sake and the meal even more delicious.
Smooth, mellow, and fine drinking quality, with a special feeling that is appropriate for a limited edition local sake.

No bitterness from beginning to end.
The sweetness opens up on the tongue.
There is no heaviness at all, and it disappears smoothly, leaving a little aftertaste of gorgeousness.
I bought this one because I think I can enjoy the change in temperature and the freshness of the wine.
I may add more to this post.

It started with a light mouthfeel and gentle acidity, as one would expect from a summer sake, but surprisingly, the umami flavor came in at the back end, giving it quite a bit of body.
It has a freshness typical of nama-shu and is delicious, but it may be a little heavy to continue drinking in summer.

Kijoshu that doesn't look like Kijoshu
It has a beautiful sweetness, but it is refreshing from beginning to end and tastes great the whole time!
It is refreshing, but the sweetness is still there.
The freshness of the sake is superb, and the chirichiri-ness of the sake makes it even easier to drink!
This is an amazing sake!
The fact that it's 11 degrees Celsius is also...

Smooth entrance with a refreshing acidity first, typical of summer sake.
Sweetness and umami in the mid-palate are nicely balanced.
The bitter finish is also pleasant.

Sweet and juicy!
The acidity is also quite good (perhaps because of the color?), and is like pineapple candy!
The sugary sweetness is impressive!
Juicy, but with a light and refreshing aftertaste!
This flavor assembly is amazing!

Slightly squiffy.
Bitter, more mature than Mimuro Cedar, with a rummy taste.
The alcohol taste is in line with the alcohol content.
It has a strong sweetness and less acidity and umami than Mimuro Sugi, so it is more noticeable as a Ramune (acidity > umami).
The mouthfeel is smooth and the aftertaste is smooth.
Hatsuyamori, Higashimurayama, you're good!

Ya-Uma!
There is almost no fizz, but it is refreshing like a rumney from start to finish!
The lightness of the wine, which goes in and goes out quickly, is accompanied by a certain Mimuro cedar flavor.
The sweet and sour taste is also pleasant.
Even when it's a little hot, it's still delicious!
This is my favorite summer sake so far!

Lemon-like acidity is prevalent, with sweetness but it seems to be drowned out.
There is a certain amount of fizz, and it is almost like a tonic soda, or is it because I'm drunk?
The hoppiness is from the middle to the end (especially on the back end), and is much less pronounced than in Hanafu.
Seriously, it's like a juice.
This is the same 13% as Shinsei and Koshinohomare Qn Namato... scary!

This is the first Sogen brewed after the earthquake.
I was deeply moved by the experience of searching for and buying Sogen right after I got hooked on sake and the earthquake.
The fresh mouthfeel and flavor of the sake is typical of nama-shu, and the strength of the rice (not only umami, but also sweetness) is well expressed.
However, there is no heaviness at all, and it goes in smoothly.
There is a slight tingling at the end, perhaps due to the alcohol or the freshness of the wine.
It has a wonderful umami that seems to enhance any meal.
