This Junmai Daiginjo-shu has a fruity flavor and is a light, easy-drinking Junmai Daiginjo-shu called Natsu-gin. It is a single time hi-ire, raw sake, which gives a glimpse of a well-balanced flavor in the lightness of the sake. In summer, it is light and crisp with a refreshing aftertaste, I feel that a crisp, clean sake with a refreshing aftertaste is still the way to go in the summer. It is hot and you want to quench your thirst every day, but the secret to surviving the summer is to keep it light.

Fruity and shwashy. The sweetness is smooth and light. It has a good sharpness. The balance of drinkability is very sophisticated, and it is an ambitious urban work brewed in Kujukuri that is typical of a brewery representing modern sake. It is so easy to drink that you will find yourself drinking a four-pack in no time.

Fruity and pleasant to drink. It has a good sharpness, and the sweetness does not linger. It is well-balanced. The sweetness of the impurities lingers on the palate and causes a bad aftertaste, but the elegant sweetness that quickly clears up is just as clean as cherry blossoms. The design of the label is also very elegant and glittering, giving a very nice impression. As a leading maker of mellow, umami-guchi sake, we look forward to the next step of this brewery, which will continue to lead the sake industry in the future.

Although it is a sweet wine, its sweetness is moderate and not overbearing. It has an elegant taste that is liked by both the rich umami group and the light dry group. Because it is not too assertive, it is a very good sake for a meal, and it is a dexterous sake that is well-balanced in its modesty. It is a modest sake in terms of character, but as a sake that accompanies a meal, it is a first-rate host. The essence of Japan is the art of accompanying, and this is a valuable sake brewery that is a leader in pure Japan, a sake that can only be obtained by those who have acquired this art.

It is a very elegant sweet sake. There is no cloying taste, and it can be drunk gently and easily. The balance is excellent. It is deep, but also has a good sharpness. It is difficult to find this balance in sweet sake, but it is excellent. Sake with a full-bodied, fruity flavor is also good, but this sake has a light flavor that is well seasoned by a master who is well versed in the high points of sake. It is a quintessential Tasake.

It is red and beautiful. It is a cider that tastes like alcohol. It also tastes like cider. The alcohol content is 9%, which is important for rehydration on a hot midsummer day like today. It is easy to sip and drink in a blink of an eye. The brewer probably makes cider with a sense of fun, so the drinker should drink it with a sense of fun, too.

I was caught off guard. I had no idea it was such an energetic drink. I blew out a great deal of it. The desk and luncheon mat drank more than a little. I was full of remorse. The rule of the house-drinking club is to let no one drink a bottle but yourself. This is a self-serving interpretation, but... In my case, I did not let anyone else drink it, but I let my desk and luncheon mat drink it. I may have to take responsibility and resign from the house drinking club. By the way, the point of this drink is its drinkability. It tastes like calpis and is easy to drink. It is not too light, not too umami, and has a perfect balance. Balance is a very important element in sake. Fruity sweetness is good, and sake rich in umami is also good. However, the more these characteristics are emphasized, the more sake fundamentalists will turn against them. Fruity and wine-like is fine, sparing and champagne-like is fine, but you are Japanese, and your sake should not exceed the sake category. No, you can go beyond, but the Japanese will not like it. That is why balance is important. This sake has a good balance. That is why this sake needs a sake brewery with a sense of balance that can quarrel with champagne while retaining its value as sake.

While Kamo Nishiki's distinctive package tag design is its selling point, this one has the curious name "3 grains" and a cartoon illustration. This appearance has succeeded in appealing to those who do not know what it tastes like, but only its existence. However, as long as it is sake, the criterion for judging it is, of course, taste. It is sweet. That is the first impression. Thanks to the strong publicity of the Sakelabo channel and others, sweet sake has come to be recognized as the new movement of the day. This may be a revival of sorts for sake, which has been on a slow and steady decline. However, the mainstream of sake is not the young, but the middle-aged and the elderly. Light and dry, this is the ninth article of the constitution for middle-aged and older people. And the word "sweet" is not in their dictionary. A child who can only drink sweet sake cannot compete in terms of the dynamic range of taste with a middle-aged person who drinks everything from sanzoushu to dharma, from akadama port wine to one-cup drinks. This sake may be popular with children, who have a lower dynamic range, but it will not win the support of the middle-aged and older generation. The challenge will be how to overcome the skimpiness of sweetness and the lightness of flavor like Kangiku and Keiraku. That said, there is no doubt that this sake is light, fruity, and easy to drink.

It has a traditional light dry taste. It is smooth, easy to drink, and has no cloying taste. It is an honorable taste, but it does not have much individuality. You can't go wrong with this wine, and you won't be greatly impressed by it either. It may sound cold, but honor student has been treated like this for a long time. I am looking forward to seeing a maverick in the lineup, one that is truly seductive.

This sake has a peculiar appearance, and once you see it, you will never forget it. The name "kafuda-shu" is also unique, and once you hear it, you will never forget it. The question is always raised as to whether or not the sake is as good as it looks. If you think that the sake is just for show, you will get a backhanded blowback. He is not only good looking, but he is also very talented. He is a handsome guy, but he is also a karate expert. So what does he taste like? The label says it is "light and fresh," and there is no lie in the description. It has a nice sharpness and no harsh taste. I tend to fall into the trap of drinking too much of this kind of sake because it is so easy to drink, but I couldn't stop myself from drinking too much. The flashy looking guy was unexpectedly a hard-core, orthodox, and cool guy.

The sake is well-balanced and delicate, as one would expect from a leading modern sake brewery. The phrase "josenmizu-no-yoshi" is used by another sake brewery, and it applies to this sake as well. However, because it is so superior, there are times when one expects a wild individuality. What an extravagant delusion, but that is the fate of Toyota in the sake industry.

As everyone says, it is easy to drink; the great thing about this sake is that the umami and sweetness are not too strong, but rather smooth and understated. Furthermore, the acidity and the shwashiness add complexity to the taste without being overpowering. The life of this sake lies in its strange balance in which all the elements are not too assertive. Sweet sake is nowadays enjoyed as the opposite of light and dry sake, but there are some breweries that call their sake "umakuchi" and do not mind bringing the sweetness of miscellaneous flavors to the forefront. However, there are some breweries that call their sake "umaguchi" but do not hesitate to put the sweetness of the miscellaneous flavors to the forefront. I take my hat off to the imagination of the brewer who imagined and created this flavor.

It blew out vigorously as soon as the bottle was opened. So energetic. There is not much sweetness. It does not have much sake flavor. It is easy to drink because it is lightly flavored. It's sparkling, so it's even easier to drink. When I noticed it, I thought, "What? How many more four-packs are left? It's frightening. It's like a narcotic liquid. On a hot and humid day like today, I can't stop drinking. The pace is twice as fast as usual. If I didn't drink at home, I'd be kicked out at the last station and would have to stay in the field. But we are a house-drinking club. I'm going to sleep on the living room sofa, drooling. Good night!

Special summer version Sweetness is at the forefront. There are various kinds of sweetness, It is not fruity, but rather the sweetness of the sugar is and not so much of other flavors. I can't feel any other flavors. A little more acidity would have complicated the flavor, but unfortunately, there is not much more than sweetness. Sweet and tart would be the most appropriate word to describe it. Also, the simplicity of the taste is the biggest drawback. However, the only consolation may be that this sweetness does not linger too much. It is not an adult's sake.

It is smooth and easy to drink. It is not thick. It is very important that it is not too rich, and there are plenty of rich, assertive liquors in the Western world. Even wine is assertive. Sake is the best actor who can create harmony with food and give the leading role to food at the very last moment. This sake is a supporting actor that complements the main character, and a versatile actor that can also play the leading role. It is very easy to drink, delicious and gentle.
