I received this sake from Kurume City, Fukuoka Prefecture, as a souvenir. 17 means that the alcohol content is 17 degrees or higher to bring out the best flavor. It was a perfect sake for a meal with a strong umami flavor.
Purchased on a return trip to Hiroshima by taking the Kure Line to a sake brewery in Akitsu; the brewery has recovered from the damage caused by the torrential rains in western Japan in 2018. You don't see it very often outside of Hiroshima. Delicious with a fresh acidity and well-balanced flavor and spiciness typical of nama-shu.
Purchased at a commercial supermarket, a bottle costs just over 1,800 yen. This sake is made by a small sake brewery in Ikoma City, Nara Prefecture.

I received it from my brother who lives in Chiba Prefecture. It has a rich and unique sweet and sour taste, with an alcohol content of 20.5 degrees. The first sip made my chest hot like when I drink whiskey straight. I can't drink it without a chaser. It was an interesting drink.

Hosui Ginjo Namazake, a gift from Tokushima, has a clear, crisp, and light taste. The alcohol content is slightly low at 13-14 degrees, making it easy to drink. If anything, it tastes better in summer.

I received it from an acquaintance in Hiroshima. 720ml 3,300 yen is expensive, so I appreciate it because I don't buy it myself. It is an aluzoe daiginjo. It was a delicious sake that was easy to drink with a clear dry taste and no peculiarities.

I'm sorry for your comment, Mr. Carp 🌠I was also wondering about the Fukushima office at Daiichi Building, but it's not easy to get there 😅I'm relieved to know that you can buy them ✨Please let me know more about it 😊.
Thank you for your comment, Uma Uma Uma. The Fukushima office is good. The person who answered me was very kind and taught me many things, and I even bought a thin-skinned manjuu from Fukushima Prefecture without thinking. But they are closed on weekends.
