My first Miya Kanbai. Recommended by my favorite liquor store. Refreshing green apple. The taste of rice, sweetness rather than richness. It's the kind of sake you can't stop drinking. Natto, mushroom ahijo, macaroni salad, and black garlic dumplings. It goes with everything😊.

First time. Recommended by the owner of the shop. Full-bodied from the opening of the mouth. The aroma is modest. This is a dish to be enjoyed in small quantities. Ate should be rich in taste.

At first sip, the words "beautiful" and "clear" apply perfectly. The aroma is mild. Crisp and clean. I've been avoiding sake in the middle of summer, so it's been a while since I've had one. Next time, I'll try an Omachi.

The "Gakki Masamune Honjozo" I bought last week was so good that I bought a Junmaishu, which is a different kind of instrument. In conclusion, I think I slightly prefer the "Honjozo". Specifically, the "Honjozo" is more The aroma is mellow The taste of Junmai-shu is a bit milder and a bit lacking. However, if I hadn't known about the Honjozo, I think I would have been satisfied with the Junmaishu. It's really a matter of taste. It's just my opinion. A reminder for next time. But "Junmai-shu" is also good. As expected of an instrument. Next time, I'll try a different kind.

Recommended by my favorite liquor store. "Honjozo is good enough! It was true. It opens with a crisp, melon aroma. This is as good as its reputation. It's not "clean" because it has some miscellaneous flavors, but it's crisp. Anyway, it's delicious!

Aizan 55%. On opening the mouth, the aroma is a calm ginjo aroma. The mouthfeel is tart for a moment, then hard, and the next moment it goes in easily. The sweetness and umami that is typical of Aizan begins to appear after about two hours. I am looking forward to the change after tomorrow. There is nothing wrong with Hououmida.

Oya-san's recommendation at his favorite liquor store. Oya-san probably likes Hououmida. If you listen to what he says, you can be sure. This is really delicious. You can't go wrong with Hououmida. Three cups in one hour. It's a pretty high pace for me. But this is proof that it tastes too good. The sweetness, the umami, the sourness, the aroma coming through the nostrils. Everything is perfect. I can drink as much as I want. I've made a step forward in my work this week, and tomorrow is my day off, so I'm going to get drunk today.

The first honored chrysanthemum. I'm a little concerned about the lactic acid type aroma. It's not what I wanted to drink right now, but the strong acidity is good for the coming season. I'm drinking it while watching my favorite movie, Furuhata no Tosaburo.

Correction. My impression on the second and third day is that this goes well with everything. Sweet or spicy. It is very versatile. It is low in alcohol and it goes on and on. I think it is really good for the coming season.

More than the previous reputation. More than expected. No.1 in this season. It is very beautiful, gorgeous, rich, and the mouth opening is unquestionable. This is the type of wine that goes down easy. It's really a relief to be able to drink good sake despite the ongoing self-restraint and various declarations.

"I bought the one you were talking about the other day. But my memory is vague because I was drinking. But I went to my friend's house to pick it up. If the infection hadn't spread, I would have liked to drink with her, but I held back and drank at home. I might have expected too much because of the high reputation. It's ordinary sake. Be careful not to drink too much. In many ways. I can't wait for Corona to settle down. It's a recharge period now. In many ways.

This is one that I thought I would never find this season. I found it at my favorite liquor store, so I bought it without hesitation. The mouthfeel is round and tart. As time goes by, the acidity comes out and the mouthfeel of the wine is smooth.

Purchased on the recommendation of a liquor store. Taste, aroma and overall calmness. Personally, I'd like it to be a little more floral, fruity, and umami. I prefer the Toyo Bijin I bought with it. If you like Chiyoroku SP, I'm sorry for the criticism. It's just a reminder for me. I hope to see more changes in the future, as only sake can.

It has opened up a little. The flavour has opened up a little. It has a good sharpness, so it's a guy who drinks a lot before he realizes it.

It has a rich, sweet taste. Personally, I think it is more suitable for drinking with dinner than for drinking with food.

This is the first Jyoshito Kuheiji. I had reserved it to drink with a friend, but the emergency declaration was extended, so I cried and opened the bottle by myself. This one goes down so easily. It's a shame to drink it alone. The balance is good. I can't express it well, but "well balanced" is what I mean. It's really delicious. Next year, I want to drink it with my best friends.

This is one of the bottles that was so delicious last year. I got it again this year. It has a mild aroma, a good taste of rice, and a good sharpness. It is a very beautiful sake. If I had the money and the time to go out and buy it, I would want another bottle. I'm sure it would be even better if I could drink it with friends. I can't wait for the Corona to settle down. We are being forced to refrain from drinking in many ways, but I hope that we can all have some moments of peace and enjoyment.

This is my second bottle this season. This second bottle is actually one that I've been saving since the end of the year to drink with a friend. He and I both like Collagen Collagen, so we really wanted to drink it together. I wish it wasn't a Corona disaster. As always, it's really good from the opening sip. I'm going to drink it alone today, looking forward to the reunion.

It's a scent I've smelled somewhere before, but I can't remember where. And the taste. It's more like a juice than sake. I think the Kamonishiki I drank a few years ago had a similar impression. It's very juicy and goes down easily. Be careful not to drink too much. The other day's Hououmida had a better rice flavor and aroma, and I prefer it. As a reminder. I hope it will change in the future.

Last time I drank Kudokidoshi's Junmai Daiginjo Yamadanishiki, so I made a comparison note. I can't say it well, but my preference is Hououmita. The Houou is a little lighter and easier to drink.
