This sake is produced by Inada Shuzo in Tenri City, Nara Prefecture. The taste is rather refreshing and dry, but it is not only dry but also has a good flavor. It is very easy to drink.
I bought it at the bus center souvenir shop of Hirayu Onsen on the way back from climbing to the North Alps. It is thick and has the consistency of Valium. It is more like eating than drinking. It is not so sweet as I thought. This is good for this.
It cannot be called Junmai because it is brewed with rice that is not of the same grade as Junmai, but it is unfiltered and raw. It is a little hard, but has a mellow sweet and umami taste with a good sharpness. At 1100 yen (tax included), it's a great value!
Hanahato is famous for its noble sake. We drank it unfiltered and raw. At first, it has a thick sweet taste, and gradually the pungent taste and bitter taste spread in the mouth. The aftertaste is sharp and clean. It is delicious. It is my favorite taste. The alcohol content is 17.5 degrees, so be careful not to drink too much.
Aeon's original Gohyakuman Junmai Daiginjo, unfiltered and raw. It is produced by Aoki Shuzo in Aichi Prefecture, which is famous for its Junmai Daiginjo. It has a mellow flavor, but there is a little tingling from the alcohol. The aftertaste is quite dry. I've never had Yonesu, but I wonder if it's different.
It is fruity and slightly mellow, with a perfect balance of sweetness, pungency and bitterness. It can be drunk easily. It is indeed a famous sake of Shiga.
For better or worse, it's a Niigata-style light, dry sake. Since I have been drinking a lot of mellow sake recently, I feel it is too dry and smooth. When it was cold, I didn't feel the umami, but as the temperature rises, a good umami comes out.
Junmai namaishu of Hideyoshi which I found at Yamaya. Unusual label, for export? Fresh, dry with a little sourness, sweetness comes out when the temperature rises. It went well with grilled ayu fish.
The moment you put it in your mouth, you feel the sweetness, but soon the spiciness spreads quite a bit. It was a mellow, delicious, dry sake. From the name, I thought it would go well with sashimi, but it would also go well with darkly seasoned meat dishes.
This is a one-time guerrilla shipment of the Laughing Four Seasons series. Fresh, moderately sweet, sweet white wine with a clean, easy drinking finish.
Limited edition from Aeon? I think it's a year old stock because the production date is June 2020. I imagined it to be refreshingly dry, but it was a rich, dry, umami sake. It's a collaboration between a major distributor ✖️and a major brewer, so there's no reason for it to taste bad.
I had this sake from a small brewery in Shizuoka at the home of a friend who is a sake fanatic. It has a sake degree of +7, but it has a clear sweet and umami taste. The label doesn't say so, but it's lightly nigori with some ori. It is very delicious.
Purchased at a sake brewery in Katsuragi Town, Wakayama Prefecture. In the mouth, a fresh and mellow sweetness spreads at first. Gradually, the spiciness increases and the aftertaste is refreshing. It is easy to drink and you can't stop drinking it.
I bought it at Towa Sake Brewery when I went to Fukuchiyama for business. It was made for the spring sake brewery festival, but the festival was canceled at Corona. We were able to buy it because they had some left over. It is a mixture of sweet, spicy, and savory flavors, and has a complex taste that is both thick and dry.
Purchased at Hazama Brewery in Nakatsugawa after climbing Mount Ena. It's dry and crisp, but also has a robust flavor, and is delicious on its own or with food. It's a small brewery, but keep up the good work Corona!
It is said that the technique of ultrafiltration makes it possible to keep it at room temperature even though it is raw sake. When the temperature rises a little, it becomes mellow and you can feel the mellow flavor. It tastes better when it is not too cold. Here's to the challenge of a major brewery!
I bought this when I went to Maruoka Castle in Fukui Prefecture, which is famous for a stroke of good luck. Initially it is sweet, but soon becomes quite dry. It is refreshing, but has a solid taste. It is the perfect sake to accompany well-seasoned dishes.
This sake is made by Kubomoto Brewery in Ouda, Nara Prefecture, which is famous for "Shiryu". The classic label looks nice.
It is a fruity yet robust sake with a spicy aftertaste.
