Satisfaction level ★★★☆☆☆☆ I tried Ippo Kami, which was recommended to me by a woman who likes Japanese sake. When the bottle is opened, it has a sweet aroma. When you put it in your mouth, it has a soft aroma, sweetness, and strong acidity, followed by a heavy bitterness that lingers for a while and finishes off. The first half is light, but the umami is strong and the aftertaste is a little heavy. There is no sawdust smell. Despite its gentle appearance, it has a strong assertiveness.

Satisfaction: ★★★★☆ I pray that the people in Ishikawa and other areas affected by the disaster will be able to return to a peaceful life as soon as possible. I chose the sake of Ishikawa prefecture for the sake of Ishikawa prefecture at least. When the bottle is opened, you can feel a little gas being pushed out. When poured into a sake cup, it has a slightly yellowish color and bubbles stick to the inside of the cup. There is a slight smell of sawdust. In the mouth, there is a strong sweetness, followed by sourness and a decent sharpness. It has a strong umami taste, but it is not too strong, perhaps because it has a fizzy feeling. It tastes just like the label says on the back: soft, fresh, and slightly sparkling. As a food sake, it has a bit of bitterness and a sawdust smell, but it's not too bothersome. It would be a good sake for beginners to try. The swallow label makes me want to buy it, as I support the Swallow's Nest by watching their live camera YouTube channel every year.

Satisfaction: ★★★★★ I bought a bottle of Kawanakajima Genmai at Yamazakiya in Eifukucho a while ago and tasted it on New Year's Day. When the bottle was opened, it had a melon-like aroma, but it was not too bright and restrained. When you put it in your mouth, the sweetness and umami spread out with a gusto, and then you feel a hint of sourness, but then it quickly fades away. It is sweet but not too sweet, not too sour, and just delicious. If I had to compare it to something, it would be like a grape. This is another great sake. I am not an omatist, but I was completely taken in by the complex flavor that is typical of Omachi. It is best as an aperitif, as it tastes a little bitter when served during dinner. I will drink it before a meal.

Satisfaction: ★★★★☆ Two hare zodiac bottles that I am going to purchase at the end of the year. How would you describe the dragon? I was delighted with the Dragon Quest-like jacket. When I opened the bottle, I felt a little uneasy about the sawdust smell. On the palate, it has a strong honey-like sweetness, followed by a strong citrus acidity that sputters and snaps. It felt like a red Madonna. The aroma is not strong, and I don't detect any sawdust smell. The umami is complex and tasty. It can be used as a food sake without any problem.

Satisfaction: ★★★★★ I bought this Huayoukou from Koyama Shoten a while ago. The aroma of pineapple that wafts through the air as soon as the bottle is opened is typical of Hana-yosuyu. The rich sweetness of ripe pineapple, sourness, and just a little bitterness in the mouth make for a clean finish. There is no sawdust smell. It is delicious as a food sake without any problem. As always, it is wonderfully delicious. I have had many Hana-yosu, but Miyamanishiki is the most pineapple-like and to my liking. I bought a bottle to enjoy during the New Year's holidays, but I wonder if there will be any left until the end of the year.

Satisfaction ★★★☆☆☆☆→★★★★☆☆ I bought a jacket at Koyama Shoten. The jacket is also important because if it's cute, you will buy it. When you open the bottle, you can feel the pressure of pushing up the crown, but not so much that it overflows. When the bottle is opened, it has a sweet aroma like amazake (sweet sake). When you put it in your mouth, it is not as sweet as you expected, and it tastes clean and delicious. It also has a tropical fruitiness. Compared to other nigorizake, it is more refreshing and more like regular sake. It also has a high level of nigori-like aroma. It is also delicious as a food sake. It is so good that it could be a 4-star sake, but since I couldn't taste any characteristics, I would give it 3 stars. On the second day after opening the bottle, the umami and acidity increased and it became a delicious sake. I added a star because it was the type of sake that can be enjoyed with different tastes.

Satisfaction: ★★★★☆ The last time I bought this wine was at Aizan, so I wanted to try Omachi and bought it at Yamazakiya in Eifukucho. The aroma was sweet and fruity at the same time as the bottle was opened. When you put it in your mouth, you can feel the gorgeous aroma and honey-like sweetness strongly. The acidity and bitterness are not so strong, but the wild umami is very attractive. It is delicious. Even a sake novice can appreciate the taste, but the complex umami may divide the evaluation. While the previous Aizan gave a sophisticated impression, this Fukuro-hari Omachi has a rough charm. It has a bit of bitterness when used as a mealtime sake, but it is strong enough not to be defeated by food. It is a welcome encounter, as it is limited to 150 bottles per year.

Satisfaction: ★★★★☆ I opened the bottle carefully because it says be careful when opening the bottle. I was able to open the bottle calmly without any blowout. It has a sweet aroma. When you put it in your mouth, it has a strong sweet taste, a slight sourness, and a bitter taste. There is no bitterness or other unpleasant tastes, and the sweetness, sourness, and lactic acid bacteria drink-like aroma is like Calpis water, but there is no aftertaste. There is no aftertaste. It is refreshing and not as amazake-like as it looks. It has a strong flavor and is very tasty. It is not too fizzy. It can be used as a food sake, and it makes meals taste even better. The nigori is a high level of perfection that makes it hard to believe that this is the first time it has been made into a commercial product this year. As always, Kangiku continues to surprise us. The stopper is the type that leaks when tipped on its side. I sometimes see people leaking in the store or in the refrigerator, but I think they should make the warning a little louder.

Satisfaction level ★★★☆☆☆☆ I looked at Yamazakiya in Eifukucho again, but they didn't have Genmai, so I bought the one I had been interested in for a while. When I opened the bottle, the aroma was sweet like a peach, but it was not a gorgeous aroma. When you put it in your mouth, you feel a strong sweetness and sourness, followed by a strong bitterness, and then it finishes quickly. Overall, it has a strong richness, but the border between bitterness and richness is not clear. It is perfectly fine as a food sake. It is delicious, but the bitterness is not to my taste. I would like to try Omachi.

Satisfaction level ★★★☆☆☆☆ I was so shocked by Kawanakajima Genmai that I bought a bottle of nigori at Yamazakiya in Eifukucho. About 70% of the bottle seems to be koji. The bottle was shaken well before opening, but it didn't overflow. As soon as I opened the bottle, I could smell the amazake aroma. When I poured it in, I found a thick liquid. It looked just like amazake. The amazake aroma was felt in the mouth, and after the amazake-like texture and sweetness, it was followed by a moderate aftertaste that was very sharp. I don't sense any ginjo aroma like the so-called Fruits Nagai. Of course, there is enough sweetness that is not sugar like amazake, but the aftertaste is strangely refreshing. The aroma of Genmai lingers at the end. As a food sake, it tastes a little bitter. If you do not evaluate it in the category of sake, but as nigori sake, it is wonderfully delicious. The alcohol content is higher than the impression of 15 degrees, so it will make you drunk if you drink it vigorously.

Satisfaction: ★★★★★ After visiting Kichijoji for some business, I visited Yamazakiya near Eifukucho Station for the first time. I had wanted to try Kawanakajima Genmai for a long time, so I checked the stock and found Yamadanishiki and Kinmonnishiki in stock. When I opened the bottle, the melon-like aroma excited me to no end. When you take a sip, the melon aroma fills your mouth with a flurry of melon flavor, followed by a strong acidity and a strong sweet flavor, and then it is overtaken by a crisp finish. There is almost no bitterness, and the aftertaste is clean with no sawdust smell at all. It is wonderfully delicious. The mouth repeatedly says it tastes good. It is perfectly fine as a food sake, and in fact, it makes rice taste delicious. I felt the same shock as when I drank Jyushiyo for the first time. I realized that it has a good reputation at Sake-no-wa. The sake is brewed by a female toji, and I can safely recommend it to first-time sake drinkers because of its sweet and sour taste, which I think women would like. I was worried that I might not like it since I bought it in a bottle, but I was right. I would like to try nigori sake and Yamadanishiki.

Satisfaction level ★★★☆☆☆☆ I have received "Ni-Rabbit" many times, but this is the first time for me to receive "Ni-Rabbit". I bought a packet of it. When I opened the bottle, it smelled like pears and a little bit of sawdust. The yellowish color made me a little uneasy, but when I sipped it, the sweetness and acidity were followed by umami and a strong bitterness. There is no sawdust smell. The sweetness is less than what one would expect from "Ni-Rabbit," and is more mature. The aroma is not strong, and the sweetness is not strong, but it does not feel insufficient, perhaps because the umami is strong and sharp. The bitterness is not my favorite, but I had to have another one. It is not my favorite, but I find it appealing. It is not my favorite, but I find it appealing. It is suitable for advanced drinkers who are not afraid of bitterness.

Satisfaction level ★★★☆☆☆☆ Trying a prototype from Tokyo Hachioji Sake Brewery. Am I not allowed to post something that doesn't have a brand name? When the bottle was opened, there was a sweet aroma and a fizzy feeling. In the mouth, it has a light fruitiness, sweetness, and umami, followed by sourness, and then it finishes with a slight sawdust smell. When served as a food sake, the sawdust smell becomes even more noticeable, but it is a sake with a strong sense of umami. The brewery is located in the city of Hachioji, and if you purchase a bottle, you can have it filled on the spot. The sake is still in prototype form, so we are looking forward to seeing it when it becomes a commercial product.

Satisfaction: ★★★★☆ Aroma of fruit, though not strong, when the bottle is opened. When it is poured into a cup, it has a foamy taste. When you put it in your mouth, you can taste the fruit aroma, sweetness, and sourness, followed by a sharp sharp finish. It is mildly delicious. There is no bitterness or sawdust smell, and it is a great food sake. It has the same melon-like flavor as Eikoufuji and Sharaku's Sake Mirai. This one has the feeling of a blue melon. Sake Mirai has three varieties, but they are all delicious. There are some Yamadanishiki sake that I don't like, so maybe I prefer Sake Mirai, although it is not only a factor of the sake rice. I would like to find a Sake Mirai that is not to my taste.

Satisfaction: ★★★★★ When the bottle is opened, it has a sweet aroma typical of Kangiku. When you sip it, it has a fruity aroma, a strong sweetness, a strong acidity, and a slight bitterness. It is also delicious as a food sake. This is one of the most delicious of the many Kangiku varieties. The sweetness is complex and makes you want to drink more and more. I wonder if I should have bought a bottle. The Sengiku Senkohana (sparkler) I had before was a refreshing sake, so I felt the difference in sweetness and umami even more strongly. I realized that Kangiku has become the brewery I drink the most, and I am satisfied with every bottle I drink. I am a little dissatisfied with the fact that there are no outliers. Is it extravagant to want the experience of tasting something different from what you expected, but tasty in its own way?

Satisfaction level ★★★☆☆☆☆ The aroma when the bottle is first opened is subdued. In the mouth, the aroma is moderate, the sweetness is moderate, and the strong acidity is followed by a strong bitterness that is sharp and sharp. It is light, but the acidity and bitterness are so complex that you will never get tired of drinking it. It can be used as a food sake. The acidity and bitterness give the impression of lemon, and it does not betray the expectation that it is a summer sake from Senkou. It is delicious, but for my personal taste, I would like a little more sweetness and aroma.

Satisfaction ★★★☆☆☆☆→★★★★☆☆ The aroma at the same time as the bottle is opened is subdued. The aroma is modest, the sweetness and umami are strong, the sourness continues, and it ends quickly with a slight bitterness. It is light for a hanamup. Compared to the aroma, the taste is rich. It is a delicious sake, but it is not special. Is this a characteristic of the Rikuwada rice? It is a very good sake as a food sake. Let's leave it for a few days and see how it goes. How many years has it been since I've had Hana Yuu? When I first started getting into sake, I drank enough Hana Yuu Omachi and Suitama to get tired of drinking them, but I haven't bought them in a long time because of nostalgia and the unfamiliar sake rice. It is a bit of a letdown if you imagine Hanayuyuu-Yumachi, but this one is light and tasty. It might be good for those who are tired of drinking the sweet sake they are used to drinking. Tried again three days after opening the bottle, it tastes like a different sake. The aroma rose, the sweetness, richness, and acidity increased, and it was very tasty, so the satisfaction level changed. It changes its taste even though it is fire-aged.

Satisfaction: ★★★★★ Following Eiko Fuji, we tried Sake Mirai. As soon as the bottle is opened, the aroma is of a rather subdued fruit aroma. Was it a disappointment? The aroma of tropical fruits and the intense sweetness are followed by the acidity. The acidity is followed by a smooth finish. There is almost no bitterness and no sawdust smell. It is like a pineapple, mango, or tropical cocktail. Compared to the aroma that is perceived before putting it in the mouth, the aroma and flavor that spreads in the mouth are surprising. Not only is it sweet, but it has a lot of complex umami, and it is wonderfully delicious without being boring to drink. It is perfectly fine as a food sake. It is a wonderful sake that I would recommend to anyone with no worries. Some say it tastes better a few days after opening the bottle, but it is difficult to resist drinking it all.

Satisfaction ★★★★⭐︎ Little aroma upon opening the bottle. It has a moderate aroma, strong sweetness, low acidity, some bitterness and miscellaneous flavors, and a slight sawdust smell. The bitterness is more noticeable when used as a food sake, but it may be good with a meal with a strong flavor. Although it has some bitterness, it has a lot of umami, so you will never get tired of drinking it. The bitterness seems to be an accent. I can recommend it to those who have always loved sake, but I am not sure if it would be good for sake beginners. I have yet to encounter Kawanakajima Genmai, so I would like to try it next time.

Satisfaction ★★★★⭐︎ →★★★★★ This is my first Sake Mirai. As soon as the bottle was opened, the strong melon-like aroma reminded me of Jyushiyo. When you put it in your mouth, it has a moderate aroma, sweetness, light acidity and bitterness, and it finishes quickly. The aroma and taste are red melon-like and delicious. The sweetness and acidity are not as strong as expected, compared to the gorgeous aroma. I wonder if it is the type that becomes even more delicious after a few days of drinking. Today, we visited Okunitama Shrine in Fuchu and bought a karasu fan at the Momo Matsuri (plum festival). Two days later, it became sweeter and tastier, and the flavor was ideal. It is still melon-like and wonderfully delicious.
