I always eat sake lees with great relish, but sake is something else.

The aroma is light, but the taste is strong, as if the sake has been ginjoed to perfection. My wife calls it sweet and dry sake. I like softer sake, too. ⭕️

I had a bottle of old sake before, but it didn't really appeal to me, so I decided to give it a second chance.

I had it at Kushimoto. I was drunk at the time, but I could drink it easily, and I only remember that it matched the sashimi on the table very well. I also remember that the price was expensive.

It's a famous sake brewery, and although it's high in alcohol due to the fact that it's a pure sake, it's brilliant in that it's all about the gorgeousness, making it dark but easy to drink. The only mistake I made was asking for the first sake, the next heated sake was hazy!

This time the kids got most of it. Nothing to complain about, gorgeous and tasty liquor. I would buy it again if I had the chance.

The light nigori of YAMORI and ABE were both delicious, but if I had only one bottle, this would be it. It may seem a little too mild for some people, but for me, who can only drink one sake, junmai ginjo is the best.

It was not as strong as the description says, but there was a slight carbonation. It is a refreshing, mellow, and delicious sake, like Abe's. Some people may say it is sweet even at this level, but I feel this is the best flavor for cold sake.

I think it's a failure, to be honest. It's supposed to be for warming sake, but I wonder how it tastes when it's a little bit chilled.

I bought this sake because it was on the shelf, but it was not to my liking. It was a little too long in storage, but the flavor was light and punchless. It was not a sake that I would use regularly for hot sake.

When heated, it has a vanilla-like flavor similar to that of Shinkame. The well-balanced mouthfeel is mild, unlike its appearance (brownish color), making it a good choice for those looking for something a little different in a heated sake.

Personally, I would have liked it to be a little lighter, but it is not at all harsh or tasteless.

The sake is new and honest, but the smoky nigori is good, and above all, it has a well-balanced taste.

As I wrote last time, I think this is a drink in the extreme north in a way, but I guess it doesn't have to be this way. I really wish it would stop feeling like it's rubbing up against wine, but other than that, it's unquestionably well-balanced and delicious!

I'm not sure if it's the same as the other two, but it's not as bad as the Kamikame and has a vanilla aroma when heated to the brim.

I remember buying it a year ago and raving about it. I wasn't as impressed this time, but it's definitely a good sake. I think it swung from light to a little heavy.

I gave it to a friend as a congratulatory gift.

The carbonation was not great, but the robust flavor was sufficient. It is a sake to be savored.
I would prefer it to be a little lighter, but it is a fine sake with a strong alcohol content.

The next drink, ogara-mi, has even more acidity and carbonation with an elegant flavor.

I am writing this in January 2022 and my impression is the same. This series of Sengoku is really good. It is the origin of one of the new Sake.
