It is good as an early summer sake with its piquant and slightly effervescent taste, sweet and sour aroma, and clean and crisp taste. It was even better since the weather was a bit sweaty. Serve with duck skin and myoga with ponzu sauce and native buckwheat noodles. The alcohol content is 14%.

The lychee-like aroma...I couldn't quite identify it, but it had a nice acidity and a clean taste. Liver, nankotsu, chick skin... Yakitori is delicious here. Sake is the perfect accompaniment to yakitori. Sake with 60% polished rice and 15% alcohol by volume.

On the way back from seeing a play, I wandered around Matsukawa. I had it cold. It has a good taste of rice and is good to pair with snacks. Firefly squid, grilled liver, and grilled white fish.

Hanami at Kamisenbon in Yoshino. I didn't think it was possible to take a day trip from Tokyo to Yoshino to see cherry blossoms. Unusual sake. Soft and pleasant to the taste, while admiring the cherry blossoms. The falling petals on the cedar box is also a nice touch. Polishing ratio 50%, alcohol 15-16%.

Lukewarm sake. Heating up sake is good on a cold day. The delicious taste of the rice rises and your body relaxes. The milt with dashi broth is also delicious.

The third type has a strong acidity, complex aroma and umami flavor that is typical of a sake with a fresh yeast base. We served it with Takataro's specialty, potato salad with smoked half-boiled egg on top, and gratin of crab miso and Shimonita leeks. Bliss.

Invited by a regular customer to "Takataro", a popular izakaya in Shibuya where reservations are hard to come by. It is a nice restaurant. First of all, here's a sake. It has a clean and refreshing taste with a strong umami aftertaste. Pair it with sashimi of yellowtail, flatfish, and Spanish mackerel.
