The aroma is slightly ginjo, or yeast, with a gentle fragrance.
Refreshing sourness and sourness in the mouth.
The sweet nice aroma also passes through the nose and the feeling on the palate is refreshing.

At a paid tasting at a sake brewery.
The aroma is slightly fruity.
The moment you put it in your mouth, it is refreshingly clear, but the ginjo aroma is still there in your nose.
The balance between acidity and umami is not bad, but the alcohol lingering on the tongue at the end is not my favorite type.
A rice daiginjo called "Celebration" from Kyoto has a mellow, almost banana-like aroma and a generous umami flavor that is just as good as it should be!

The aroma is delicately fruity.
In the mouth, light effervescence and firm sweetness spread, and the aroma passing through the nose is that of muscat. I wonder if this is how white malted rice is supposed to taste like.
It is easy to drink, and you can go for it with gusto.

The aroma is not that strong and faintly floral.
However, the fresh and sweet aroma of muscat that overflows into the mouth is intense!
The juicy sweetness and flavor spreads, but it is not too strong and has a clean aftertaste. It's good!
⭐︎:4.5
The aroma has a strong alcohol taste with a slight floral note. The aroma after drinking is not that spectacular, and the flavorful aroma of rice spreads smoothly. There is no aftertaste, so it is not bad as a food sake.

The aroma is gorgeous, with a muscat-like fragrance.
After taking a sip, it is not as light as the aroma, but has a strong umami, alcohol smell, and acidity that comes through to the nose. I enjoyed it with blue fish sashimi! Not something I would necessarily repeat, but a good sake.

I bought this sake at a roadside station on a trip to Uchiko in Ehime. It is not so famous in Ehime, and I did not have high expectations for it, but it is much tastier than I expected!
It has a floral and elegant aroma, and the moment you put it in your mouth, the robust sweetness and flavor spread to your tongue as well. It is indeed rich and mellow, with no unpleasant alcohol aftertaste, leaving only a strong umami taste. It is not a famous sake, but I felt that the "new generation of sake" was not a mere pretense!
This may be the first time I've ever drunk ogorigami sake with proper awareness.
I'm not quite sure what the difference is between this and nigori sake!
It has a beautiful cloudy white color, a very sweet aroma, and the moment you put it in your mouth, you can feel the sweetness and umami of the rice.
It is really sweet, almost like a fine calpis.

First of all, I like the name and design!
The taste is as simple and classic as the name "Fuji".
The aroma is subtle, and the moment you take a sip, the alcohol and rice flavor spreads quickly, but there are no peculiarities, and the aftertaste is light and refreshing.
It is not that distinctive, but it goes well with all kinds of food.

From the aroma, it is very floral and nice.
The moment you taste it, the sweetness of the rice and the slight sourness and bitterness spread out, creating an excellent balance. The aftertaste is also very pleasant. It has a trendy floral flavor and a classic weight, making it a good all-around food sake. I like it.
☆:4.5
The aroma is mild and slightly cloudy. It has a fresh and invigorating aroma when you drink it, and although it is not a nama-shu, it has an acidity like that of nama-shu and a slight sweetness like calpis. The rice flavor remains and the aftertaste is enjoyable.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
