It is the best bottle for drinking with food.

I got this bottle from a friend.
The aroma is light sweet and sour, almost like an unripe Japanese pear.
When you put it in your mouth, the fresh acidity and sweetness stimulate your tongue clearly, and the bitterness is not noticeable.
The bitterness is not noticeable, and the aftertaste disappears quickly. It is definitely a delicious bottle for anyone.
It is a very cost-effective sake with a wallet-friendly price range. If you happen to find it in a store, we recommend you drink it!

This is a relatively rare sake brewed with Koshihikari.
It is refreshingly sweet on the palate, and I didn't notice any of the miscellaneous flavors that are commonly associated with sake made from rice other than sake brewing-friendly rice.

I saw a bottle I'd never seen before at a sushi restaurant, so I ordered it.
"It costs 4,000 yen a bottle. but I agreed to it out of curiosity. It hurts my pocket... (laughs)
The ginjo aroma is unobtrusive, and the sweetness and flavor gently envelop the tongue the moment you put it in your mouth. When it reaches your throat, a strong spiciness asserts itself crisply, and at the end it disappears comfortably.
It was one of the best sake I drank this year.
They don't sell it wholesale, but only through the internet, so if you're interested, why not try your hand at it?

It is one of the limited small shipment. It was given to me through a friend.
From the moment you open it up, you can smell a rather peculiar fermentation smell, like pickles or soy sauce (my friend said it smelled like a freshly opened plastic sheet or poison ivy).
When I put it in my mouth, the sour taste that I have never experienced before stimulates my tongue. It stimulates the tongue. The similar stimuli are heshiko and iburi-gakko.
I thought the -77 sake level was a joke, but it seems to be true. I've never seen a sake meter before, so I don't know, but is it really that long? LOL!
It's a very distinctive bottle, and I don't think it will be popular with the cognoscenti. I love the original Akishika, but even if you've had that one before, it's best to keep in mind that it's a completely different brew. Anyway, it was a very special sake and a very good experience.

I happened to pick up this bottle at a liquor store.
The aroma is almost like a balloon ball, with a sweetness that is almost like a bond.
The spiciness comes first, but the aftertaste is gentle, with some sweetness following.
Since it is raw sake, the carbonation is strong, so there are different likes and dislikes.

Midorikawa Shuzo is one of the best breweries in Niigata Prefecture, and I personally think it is one of the best.
It's called Honjozo, but the rice polishing ratio is on par with Ginjo, and the taste is refreshing, but not too spicy, and very easy to drink.
In my opinion, it is one of the two best Honjozo along with Asahi Taka.
After pouring it into a glass and smelling it after a while, I noticed a muffled sweet aroma, almost like tree bark. As for the taste, it's first class.

Slightly dry and refreshing.
It has a slightly sour taste, but after a little while it becomes milder and very easy to drink.
Compared to the Midorikawa I opened a few days ago, this one is slightly spicier.

The aroma is moderate and slightly dry.
It has a harsh aftertaste that may be to some people's taste. There is a slight aftertaste that leaves a stain on the tongue as if your tongue is being squeezed or water is being taken away.
However, if you drink it quickly without rolling it around in your mouth, it quickly turns into a refreshing dry sake. It gives a completely different impression. The sake brewery seems to place emphasis on the throat-slipping effect, so the best way to drink it is to simply enjoy it.

The sake has a very good balance of umami, sweetness, and spiciness, with a physical alcohol content of around 0.
For 1100 yen, this taste is a very good value. It will become a regular part of your evening drinking.

It has a sweetness in the mouth, but it soon becomes pungent, and the flavor lingers.
This is a brand to look forward to in the future, which goes well with slightly strong meals.

At Daigo Premium (former Flying Rabbit), Toyama City.
The very strong flavor is intoxicating. No aftertaste at all, just the perfect cup to go with my crab miso tofu!

This bottle was given to me by a colleague from Kochi as a parting gift for leaving Fukui.
It has a dry taste with a solid richness, and the acidity is not so noticeable. It goes well with slightly sweet and spicy simmered dishes and teriyaki rather than bland dishes.

This is the Junmai Ginjo you are looking for!
The aroma remains a little spicy, and the taste leaves the tongue with a pleasant feeling.
The aroma is a little more subdued than you might expect from a ginjo-shu, but the taste is definitely first class.

The aroma is so strong that it is hard to believe it is Junmai, reminiscent of Ginjo. It's supremely umami and spicy with a Hiroshima-like mouthfeel!

It has a slightly sweet taste, but is refreshing and very easy to drink.
The aftertaste is a bit long because of the brewing alcohol, but it's rather refreshing and I think it's a type that will appeal to everyone!

Although I was given a bottle of Manju, I didn't have a chance to open it until the summer before I realized it had passed... Even though it was stored in the warehouse, I was prepared for it to deteriorate a great deal, but in my honest opinion, it was so crisp and odorless that I didn't know I could drink it so well. I'll have to try it again.
If I ever have the chance to get my hands on some again, it was a taste that made me think I'd take it as soon as possible!

It is easy to drink like Niigata, but you can also feel the flavor of rice in spite of its lightness.
It has been 13 years since I left Niigata, but this bottle made me think that Niigata sake is the best for me.

My brother brought me a great bottle!
Not too spicy, not too sweet, reasonably priced, and with a nice aftertaste, it was a bottle I can't complain about (^^).

It has a rich aroma, but a slightly more pronounced aroma similar to Shaoxing wine.
It is dry, with no persistent aftertaste, and is quite easy to drink for its aroma. I don't have a very good nose myself, so I was able to drink it easily.
