Purchased at Kyokuho Sake Brewery near my parents' house when I returned to Hiroshima. It is a new brand name, Toriwa. The label is also innovative. It tastes completely different from the previous Asahiho sake. It has a strong acidity, sweet and sour, like a white wine, and can be drunk more and more as a stand-alone sake.

Purchased at the traveling SAKE event at Hankyu Department Store. When I was not interested in sake in the past, I saw many signs for Shichisyo on Route 19, but I never thought I would find it here. The dark, sweet, umami flavor is layered with bitterness and spiciness, making it a very tasty sake that can be drunk on its own.

I was attracted by the beautiful label of this sake made by Ozawa Sake Brewery in Ome City, Tokyo. It is not spicy at all, but it is not sweet either. It is not spicy at all, but it is not sweet either. It is light and pleasant to drink. The alcohol content is low at 14 degrees, so it is easy to drink.

Sake from the Sakuryu Sake Brewery in Sasebo City, Nagasaki Prefecture; sake rice is locally grown Isehikari. I had never seen it before, so I bought it.

At a certain supermarket, an 1800 ml bottle was on sale for 2200 yen, so I had to buy it. The rice used for the sake was Ginotome from Ninohe, the brewery's hometown. It tasted sweet in the mouth, but had a mellow, dry taste. It was a delicious food sake.

I received this sake from Nagai Sake Brewery in Kawaba Village, Gunma Prefecture, as a gift. It brought back fond memories of my visits to the Kawaba ski resort many years ago. It was a basic dry sake with an elegant rice flavor at the beginning and a spiciness that came gradually.
