Last year, I received Omachi, so this year I bought Kochira💁. First of all, I did not even know how to read this sake rice, but I was told that it is a rare Yamagata sake rice called Rikuuden. It appears to have no color. I don't know if it is because it is a junmai sake or a characteristic of the sake rice, but the aroma is weak and mild😊The sweetness is not that great at first, but as you drink it, you can feel the sweetness at about cooler temperatures. It tastes better after some time than right after taking it out of the fridge. ☺️ It has a sharp taste with good umami and moderate acidity, so you can drink more and more. It is easy to drink. Delicious either on its own or as a food sake 🤤.
Alcohol content 16%.
Rice used: Rikuwada
Rice polishing ratio 55
Specific name: Junmai-shu
Sake degree -5
Acidity 1.3-1.6

I opened a bottle of this one 💁, although I'm not feeling too good, probably because I was out drinking a lot last week and drank too much.
I bought this online after reading a review of Sake no Wa 😄.
The color is yellow🟡The top-tasting aroma is grapefruit, but it changes to a grape-like impression on the palate. It has a gassy feel to it, and overall it's good and easy to drink. I thought it was good even though I wasn't feeling well, so maybe if I was feeling better I would have been more impressed🥲It was a good drink🍶.
I can feel the sweetness at the beginning, but it soon disappears, and I can feel the soft umami and fresh acidity, and there is a sharpness at the end. It is described as having a taste of calmness, so I wonder if the feeling of a smooth and crisp finish means it is calm 🙃.

I finally got to drink Kamo Kanehide😄, which has been on my mind since I started drinking sake.
As a whole, it has a light flavor, with a good amount of gas, and a sweet but slightly dry taste at the entrance.
The sweetness is more pronounced on the second day than on the first day after opening the bottle, making it more balanced and tasty. ☺️
Upright aroma: Muscat for sure!
Ingredients: fruity☺️
Sweetness: Moderate
Umami: It seems to be refreshing but...
Acidity: Moderate
Bitterness: Slightly noticeable

It was one of the brands I wanted to drink, and I finally got around to buying it the other day😁It has no color, and the head and overtones are probably apple rather than muscat. The sweetness is weak and moderate. It has a strong freshness and no complexity. It is my favorite type of sake ☺️ and the slight bitterness that comes after swallowing is a nice touch. Easy to drink and really tasty 😁.

This bottle was on display at a liquor store and I was excited to pick it up and bring it home.
It has been a little while since I bought it, but I finally opened the bottle. I'm drinking it for the first time 🍶.
It seems that since it contains carbon dioxide gas, it is not treated as sake.
The bubbles🫧are beautiful🤩 because it is carbonated gas injected.
The fruity aroma and sharpness stand out, or so I thought 😌. ☺️ I'm amazed at the depth of sake 😌.

I've been curious about this one since I started drinking sake in earnest and finally had the chance to purchase it 😁It's generally referred to as a low-alcohol, adult Calpis, but I was looking forward to seeing what it tasted like when I opened the bottle.
It was more calpis than I expected 😅The aroma is fruity with a hint of ginjo, but it's the mellow, rich flavor that stands out even more. I can see why you recommend it on the rocks: ⭕️ It is surprisingly refreshing and can be paired with a meal.
I drank it over several days, but I think the flavor remained stable with little change.
Hats off to the well thought out concept: ☺️

I bought it even though I thought it was probably not my favorite 😁 I got it on the rocks and cold sake because it is recommended to drink it on the rocks. It is a bit sweet, thick, and heavy, so it is easier to drink on the rocks, but I didn't really like it. It has a sharpness, so I drank a little of it with meat or fish as a food sake 🍶.

The first day after returning home, I had this one 😄I had the same Suitama Jungin Unfiltered Nama last time, and it was delicious, but I was worried about the sweetness, so T-KISO and Pon-chan advised me to try this Tokujun, which has less sweetness.
The color is yellowish, and the aroma is not so much "Kamitatekoso" and "Kadokoso". The sweetness is too little 😅.
I feel a bitterness and a tingling sensation when it goes down my throat 😂 I think I finally got the right amount of sweetness after about the 4th day.... I don't know if it's just summer fatigue, but in the end, if I had to choose which one I liked better, I would say Jungin (sorry for the recommendation 🙇 )

I found this one at the same local sake store where I bought Gassan 💡 I wanted to try it, so I took it with me. Since it is a draft sake, there is a great sense of gasiness.
The aroma is like pear with a hint of orikarami. The sweetness is not that great. The bitterness comes in afterwards to the point that it makes your tongue tingle. I thought it was delicious😋, but my family's reaction was not so good😞.

I am back at my parents' house. On such occasions, I go back to my hometown to buy sake from the San-in region. I went to the liquor store 🚗 to buy Gassan, which I have been curious about for a while.
There are so many local sakes and they have all the Gassan ✨ I was confused and decided to go with Izumo!
It has an upfront aroma, a fruity overtone, a hint of sweetness, and a firm umami flavor.
It has a smooth mouthfeel and a lingering bitterness as you swallow. It went well with grilled sweetfish 🐟.

As described on the brewery's website, it had a clear taste with just the right amount of gas that really didn't interfere with the meal. ☺️ I think it's a refreshing food sake, but I guess it's not for everyone's taste. I thought it should be more assertive😅.
