The sake that sparked my interest in sake. It is right in the middle for me. The balance of transparency, richness, fruityness, and strength suits me and makes me feel relaxed.
Here is the first bottle of the new year.
It has a great sense of transparency without any cloying taste. It has just the right amount of fruity and sweetness to make it easy to drink. A truly delicious sake.
On the other hand, those who are looking for richness, strength, and sharpness may find it a bit lacking.
Fruity and very drinkable. Personally, I quite like the taste. It can be used as a food wine as it enhances the flavors of the surrounding food well. I would like to repeat this bottle.
Not only was it fruity, refreshing, and easy to drink, but it also had a sense of maturity and strength typical of sake. Although it can be served as a mealtime sake, I personally prefer to drink it by itself after a meal.
It has sweetness and richness, and may be easy to drink even for those who do not like sake. Personally, I would rather drink this sake slowly after a meal than as a food sake.
It is dry and does not interfere with food, so it is recommended as a food wine for those who are not so fruity.
Another feature of this wine is that it is reasonably priced and cosy.
A limited edition sake made with Aiyama rice from a favorite crop.
Fresh and easy to drink. Just right for enjoying with a glass of wine. Recommended as a food sake.
The first bottle of the New Year is a luxurious one, "GANKI no M鶺鴒".
Rather than being paired with something else, it has the presence to be the star of the show by itself. It has both fruity and deep flavors at a high level, and it is the most delicious.
Fruity, easy to drink, and really delicious sake. It goes well with sashimi, etc., but it is also good to drink leisurely after a meal as it is a bit sweet. I would like to repeat this drink.

This is good. Personally, I like it very much.
It is fruity, but not too sweet and has a clean aftertaste, so you can go on and on....
