At the Hakata Station Sake Opening Festival. Sweet and gorgeous rice aroma. When you drink it, you can feel the sweetness and umami of the rice spreading across your tongue. Not too floral, which is the latest trend, but you can feel the fullness of the rice in the aftertaste! 4 stars

I think it's Brahma after all. It has been my favorite since I first encountered it in Fukui about five years ago, when it was not yet available in the Kanto area. It's a trendy sake with a gorgeous aroma, richness, and a strong flavor, but it sure is delicious. I have unforgettable memories of eating it with dried firefly squid. 5 stars

The aroma is light and fresh, and when you put it in your mouth, it is kind of dry, but it has a unique aroma that spreads, which I don't really like. It leaves a tingling feeling of alcohol underneath, but there is not much umami from the rice. This is the first time for me to taste something that is described as "super dry," but I wonder if this is how it is supposed to be. 2.5

Kagoshima sake. If you think you don't have an image, there is only one brewery 🤔 Well, that's right. The aroma is not the latest trend, but it has a strong alcohol taste, very sweet on the tongue, and a mild aftertaste. It went well with Makurazaki bonito ✨ Maybe it goes better with warmed sake. ☆3.5

First time at the Kurume-Jojima Sake Brewery Opening Festival! I drank a lot of different kinds of sake, but I'll just leave a record of the most unusual one, a brown rice sake. This is the first sake made from unpolished rice that I encountered at an abandoned factory in Mannenkame. It is amber in color and has a brown rice flavor. The aroma is a bit acidic, and when I drank it, I felt it was more like a sour toso than a sake. To be honest, it was not tasty, but it was a new experience for me. It is said that brown rice alone does not grow yeast rice, so only a part of white rice is mixed in to make sake. It is just right for tasting only. ☆1

The aroma is not that spectacular, I guess. The moment you put it in your mouth, a gorgeous aroma spreads. However, it leaves a strong and dignified impression on the tongue, like a wild flower, rather than a gorgeous and pretty flower. The alcohol feeling disappears quickly, leaving a very refreshing aftertaste. Delicious. 4 stars

This is the second time it has been produced. The aroma is not that distinctive, with a slight effervescence, and a fine, slightly fizzy, chile-like aroma in the mouth. The aroma is light and sweet. It is not really a sake, but more like a champagne. I would prefer a little more rice flavor and robustness, but it is amazing that it is made so light and easy to drink. 3.5 stars

This is my 4th purchase. I think this is my favorite one because of its reasonable price. (If we talk about simple taste, it's Brahma...). The aroma, the flavor in the mouth, the aroma through the nose, and the aftertaste are not all special, but I think they are just right and well balanced. So, I think it is an excellent food sake. Thank you. 4.5 stars Yamadanishiki, Gohyakumangoku, Koshibuki, 60% polished rice

Another of the two Nabeshima bottles purchased. Compared to the Kitashizuku, this Gohyakumangoku has a heavier taste with a strong rice flavor on the tongue. The aroma is not so strong and fresh, and the fizziness is a little bit stronger. It is elegant and delicious. 4 stars 100% Gohyakumangoku, Polishing ratio 50%.

A popular brand from Itoshima, Fukuoka. It is sold exclusively at Sumiyoshi Shuppan, and I don't think I have seen it so often in Kanto and other areas. The aroma is soft and gorgeous, and the nose is very pleasant after taking a sip. The slightly cloudy, beautifully muddy, slightly bitter flavor that lingers on the tongue is complex. I would rather drink this on its own than with food, as it offers excellent taste sensations on its own. Stars:4 100% Yamadanishiki produced in Itoshima, Japan Nama Sake

I went to the Tomikuchiyo Sake Brewery without knowing anything about it, but it is not sold there. A beautiful lady from the brewery told me about it and I bought it at a direct sales store right next to the brewery. This is the second time in my life I have tasted Nabeshima, and I was surprised at how sparkling it is. The aroma is light, and the moment you put it in your mouth, it is quite crisp, but it is not that fruity or umami. Is it because it is KITASHIZUKU that it has no peculiarities? 100% Kitashizuku 3

The aroma is slightly fruity, and the sweetness spreads quickly, but then the alcohol taste kicks in, leaving a complex, cloudy flavor on the tongue. It may be relatively close to the old type of sake. 3 100% Yamadanishiki, Sake meter rating +3

A few years ago, I happened to come across a sake from the Sanzen Sakura Sake Brewery in Asahikawa, which I happened to watch on "Gaia no Yoake" (Dawn of Gaia), and I bought it without a second thought. Junmai Ginjo Kitanoshizuku 55 The fruity aroma from the glass is strong. The alcohol content is a little too much. In the mouth, you can taste a refreshing sweetness and a firm umami of rice. After that, the aroma with a bit of sourness spreads gorgeously throughout the mouth. The aroma and alcohol aftertaste are stronger than expected, though it was described as having a good sharpness. The balance is great as an evening drink, but I think I would prefer a more refreshing aftertaste when drinking it by itself. 3.5

The mouthfeel is soft, and the wine comes in like water. The aroma on the nose is gorgeous, perhaps pear-like. The aroma is not as prominent as that of Otter, so it goes well with meals.
