First time in the Wind Forest! It's very tasty and refreshing with a slight bitterness and a sense of schwartziness right after opening the bottle 😊. The next day, I drank it again and found it to be sweeter and more fruity! I loved it! Thanks for the treat 😋.

This one was also found in a station building. It was very tasty with a dry and refreshing taste with a fresh muscat aroma. Paired with sardine oil sardine from Choshi, Chiba Prefecture, it was a perfect pairing 😀. Thank you for the treat 😋.

We met at a bar in a train station where we stopped by on a whim. I knew the name of the bar, but I had never had it before, so I ordered it immediately! The aroma was strongly melon-like, and the taste was refreshing. The aroma was strongly melon-like, and the taste was refreshing and clean. It is a very delicious sake 🍶.

I purchased my first Shinshu Kamerei in six months at Okazaki Shuzo! Kamerei is still delicious 😋. It is so easy to drink that I save it for 2 cups (^^) I also got the limited green label, so I will review it again next time. Thank you for the treat 😆.

While enjoying the gorgeous aroma, the taste is sweet and delicious with a slight carbonation that is unique to Kangiku. It is a very elegant bottle! As the name suggests, it is good to drink together on a sunny day. (This time I opened it for my nephew's birthday!) It was very tasty! Thanks for the treat 😋.

I was looking for a dry, robust sake and found this one in Nagano Prefecture! It was dry with a high alcohol content of 20%, so I tried it warmed up and it went great 😀. I would like to try it again this winter if I see it. Thanks for the treat â

This is one of the chrysanthemum series! Immediately after opening the bottle, the gasiness and freshness characteristic of the Kangiku series can be enjoyed, but the great thing about this sake is that the sweetness and umami can be felt strongly all at once after the bottle has been open for about three days and has dropped a little! There are different ways to enjoy Kangiku. I bought another bottle before I finished it! Thank you for the treat👍

When I went back to my wife's family in Nagano Prefecture for New Year's this year, I went to Okazaki Sake Brewery with my brother-in-law and bought it. The other day, we had a family gathering, so we opened the bottle. It started with a gentle aroma, was light and easy to drink, and by the time we realized it was empty 🤭. I decided to go to the brewery to purchase a bottle whenever I return home! Thanks for the treat 😋.

I asked the proprietress at a small liquor store for a recommendation, and she introduced me to this one. The price was about 1,200 yen, and I honestly thought I couldn't complain even if it wasn't tasty, but the proprietress pushed me to buy it. When I was having yakiniku at home, I suddenly remembered this sake and paired it with yakiniku on the spur of the moment. What was it? I was impressed by the flow of the sake, which even lingered with a refreshing sweetness, while quickly draining the fat from the loin and ribs 🥹. This taste at this price...I am ashamed of myself for judging it by the price until now! This was one bottle that made me want to try the Yoshinogawa series in the future♪ Thank you very much for the treat 😋.

Kangiku series of sake limited to Chiba Prefecture (^^) It is a limited sake in the prefecture, so it is cosy and we could fully feel the goodness of Kangiku♪ Although it is not a pure sake, I was very satisfied with the sweet and tasty taste with a hint of gas! The best of the Kangiku series 😃.
