Here is a chart diagram for my own drinking comparison. I am sure some of you will point out that this is not true! I am sure some of you will point this out to me. I would appreciate it if you could tell me. (My impression after drinking it) I think it looks colorless and transparent. I cannot observe the color well due to the condition of the restaurant. I was given a wine glass, but the ginjo aroma does not seem to be very strong. However, when I put it in my mouth, it has a nice aroma like banana or lychee, and a moderate sweet and sour taste spreads in my mouth. The taste is fresh and lively, as is typical of nama-shu. The umami and richness of the rice are also well expressed. The flavor, especially the sweetness and depth, changes as it nears room temperature. It was a convincing bottle that all the participants in the meal said was delicious. Brewer : Wakanami Shuzo (Okawa City, Fukuoka Prefecture) Volume: 1,800ml Brewer: Wakanami Shuzo (Okawa City, Fukuoka Prefecture) Volume: 1,800ml Rice used: Yamadanishiki produced in Itoshima, Fukuoka Prefecture Rice polishing ratio: 55 Yeast used: Not disclosed Acidity: 1.6 Amino acidity: undisclosed Sake Degree: +1 Price : 3,630 yen (tax included) for 1,800ml

I would appreciate it if you could tell me. (My impression of the drink) I couldn't really tell how clear it looked because it was in a black container. The ginjo aroma is not very strong. When you put it in your mouth, the spiciness brews a lingering taste after the umami of rice and a little bit of sweetness goes down your throat. It is a crisp and smooth sake. This sake is well-known locally, but for some reason I have not had many opportunities to drink it. It is a delicious sake with a strong rice flavor.

Here is a chart diagram for my own drinking comparison. I am sure some of you will point out that this is not true! I am sure some of you will point this out to me. I would appreciate it if you could tell me. (My impression of the wine) I drank it in a wine glass as recommended. It has a greenish pale yellow color. The aroma of melon is quite strong. When you put it in your mouth, there is a tingling sensation on your tongue. The nose has a fruity aroma, and at the same time, a pleasant sweet and sour flavor spreads down the throat. The sweetness comes back in the aftertaste. I thought it was a fruity and easy-to-drink sake for those who are new to sake. As a food sake, it has a strong ginjo aroma, so it may not be suitable as a food sake. It is more enjoyable to enjoy the sake by itself. I would like to compare its aroma with that of Hana-yoso, which I have not had for a long time.

(My take on the drink) It is Hatsukankiku. It is a highly anticipated sake. When the bottle is opened, it pops right out. It looks clear and colorless, with fine bubbles all over the glass. The fruity aroma reminds me of banana, pineapple, and strawberries! Fresh carbon dioxide gas is entwined and chattering on the tongue. A sense of balance between the clear sake quality, juicy flavor, and sweetness, with acidity and bitterness crisply tightening the flavor! The combination of the clarity and juiciness of the sake quality gives it a lightness of touch that spreads out in a fluffy manner, and the flavor is floral. The crisp flavor that changes as it flows in the mouth is delicious! You will be impressed that this is the popular Kangiku. Even after opening the bottle, the tingling sensation did not disappear and remained for a while. It is a wonderful taste! Producer: Kangiku Meikozo (Yamatake City, Chiba Prefecture) Rice used: Yamadanishiki and Omachi from Akaban Polishing ratio: 50%. Fermentation: Undisclosed Alcohol content: 15 Sake meter: -4.0 Acidity: 1.5 Amino acidity: 0.9 Volume: 720ml Price: 2,090 yen (tax included)

Here is a chart diagram for my own drinking comparison. I am sure some of you will point out that this is not true! I am sure some of you will point this out to me. I would appreciate it if you could tell me. This sake was brewed by the Yuki Brewery in Ibaraki Prefecture before a fire forced them to relocate their brewery to Hokkaido. It is brewed with Gohyakumangoku from Niigata and freshly squeezed raw sake directly from the kamekuchi. It contains a sense of gas. Lees and other sediments may settle. (My impression after drinking it) There is a slight yellowish taste. When you sniff the sake cup, there is a faint apple aroma. When you put it in your mouth, you can feel a slight tingling sensation on your lips. Next, when you take a sip, the rich, fruity flavor overflows and leaks down, just like the flowers in the sun. It is not a "kokumotsukei" flavor, but a fruity flavor. ▪️ Sake Brewer : Yuki Shuzo (Yuki City, Ibaraki Prefecture) ▪️Grain : Gohyakumangoku ▪️ Sake meter : Not disclosed ▪️ Polishing ratio: 60 ▪️ Acidity: Not disclosed ▪️ Price : 1,430 yen (tax included)

(My impression after drinking it) This sake is brewed by Taiyo Shuzo, which once became famous for its "Mugen" sake, which won first place in the SAKETIMES ranking. It looks clear and colorless, but if I had to guess, I would say it has a slight greenish tinge. The aroma is banana-like. When you put it in your mouth, there is absolutely no tingling sensation on your tongue. The taste is elegant and refined, sweet and sour. There is no strong rice flavor at all. Everything is neutral. The sweetness is alive in the mouth, but the spiciness lingers in the throat, so the base must be dry. I can understand why it is called the ultimate food sake, as it doesn't show off at all. It lacks the punch of a stand-alone sake, but from the standpoint of enjoying it with food, I thought it was a wonderful sake that enhanced the taste buds of the food. After opening the bottle, I noticed a slight ethylene smell, but I am looking forward to seeing how it changes over the next few days.

（私が飲んでみての感想）超高級なお酒についている栓を開けてグラスに注ぐと黄色味のお酒からはライチの様な良い香りがする。口に含むと甘酸っぱいライチの味がする。旨味を７掛けにした仙禽というのが分かりやすいだろうか。いや、常温に近くなるにつれ、甘味と米の旨味は仙禽以上である。かなり甘味が温度の上昇に連れて上がってくる。袋で吊るして滴る雫を集めた斗瓶取りらしい雑味のないきれいな酒だ。グラスから口に入れる直前に鼻に抜けるライチの香りと間髪入れずに口に含んだ際の極上の甘酸っぱい上品な米の旨味。満足出来る酒である。昨今のトレンドは、フルーティーで甘酸っぱく、低アルコールな酒が評価されるみたいです。その内の二つが当てはまった酒。蛇足だが、甘い梨と相性バツグン。甘いフルーツに合うとはビックリしました。酒の味わいのチャートと実際に飲んでみての味わいは「百光」とそっくりよく似ています。蔵元 : 代々菊醸造（上越市柿崎）アルコール度：18度原材米：山田錦精米歩合：40% 日本酒度：＋4.0 酸度：1.1 アミノ酸 : 非公表

Here is a chart diagram for my own drinking comparison. I am sure some of you will point out that this is not true! I am sure some of you will point this out to me. I would appreciate it if you could tell me. (My own impression of the drinks) I compared the Purple Space Snow Label and Strawberry Label. Both are equally colorless and transparent in appearance. The aroma of the Strawberry Label has more of a ginjo aroma. In the mouth, it tastes sweet and sour with a sourness that prevails. The tongue feels a bit irritated, but not to the point of tingling. There is a pleasant bitter aftertaste. We are looking forward to seeing how it changes after the bottle is opened. The sweetness is not as strong as the strawberry label, and I prefer the snow label. The yeast is the same, so is the difference in taste due to the difference in rice? I prefer Miyamanishiki.

I would appreciate it if you could tell me. (My impression after drinking it) I compared three types of sake: Murasakizu Strawberry Label, Nabeshima Junmai Ginjo Omachi, and Kangiku Junmai Ginjo Haruhi. The Murasakyu has a slight greenish yellow tinge to it. It has a strawberry aroma. There is also a slight aroma of ethylene that pokes at the nose. The glass is not equal, so the ginjo aroma is inferior to the other two. In the mouth, it tastes sweet, sweet and sour. Nabeshima has a mild sweet and sour taste that is preceded by the flavor of rice. Kangiku expresses a superior sweetness and sourness with a sweetness that makes your tongue tingle. The order of sweetness is: Murasaki, Kangiku, and Nabeshima.

Here is a chart diagram for my own drinking comparison. I am sure some of you will point out that this is not true! I am sure some of you will point this out to me. I would appreciate it if you could tell me. (My impression after drinking it) As one would expect from K-1801 yeast, it has a ginjo aroma like apples. It is unfiltered, unfiltered, and bottled "fresh," so it is truly a genuine "freshly pressed" sake. You can enjoy the fresh taste that drips from the mouth of the tank, which could only be tasted at the brewery. The aroma is so bright that when you unseal the bottle, it will light up your eyes. When you taste it, you will feel the firm umami of the sake's traditional sake brewing method. The well-balanced sweetness and acidity stand out. However, there seems to be some variation in the specifications depending on the tank in which it was made, and the sake degree, acidity, and amino acidity are quite different. This may be why each bottle has its own specifications written on the label. To my surprise, the one I drank was labeled as super sweet with a sake degree of -7.3, but because of its high acidity, it was not as sweet as I thought it would be, and I felt it had a moderate sweet and sour taste. Rice polishing ratio: 55 Sake degree: -7.3 Acidity : 2.3 Amino acidity : 2.2

I didn't feel much carbonation on my tongue, but it may be that the carbonation has been lost after a few days of opening the bottle. Maybe that is why it has more sweetness.
