It has a fizziness that is evident from its appearance. The color is clear and colorless. The aroma is of freshly pounded rice cakes, white dumplings and other ingredients, mild yogurt, fresh cream, and a slight woody impression. On the palate, sweetness and acidity are present from the attack. It has the impression of slightly ripe fruit rather than the juiciness of fresh fruit. The bubbles are as firm as they appear to be. Although the specifications and manufacturing process are mostly undisclosed, it has a packed flavor and feels like an undiluted sake. There is also a bitterness in the aftertaste that is almost astringent, which reminds one of wood, such as from a wooden vat.

Clear and colorless. The wine has a bubbly sensation from the moment it is uncorked. The aroma is of white flowers, white sugar, cotton candy, and white dumplings. It has a sweet impression reminiscent of white, more sugary than fruity. The aroma is somewhat complex and distinctive, with a hint of wood and a soft milk-like impression. On the palate, the sweetness of the attack is not as strong as the impression of the aroma, and there is a fine bubbly effervescence that gives a refreshing impression. From the latter half, sweetness, umami, and acidity emerge and the taste becomes firm. There is also a lingering bitterness. The second half is firm, but the aftertaste is not long and light.

The color is slightly yellowish. The aroma gives a strong impression of chocolate and cocoa. This is the first time I have encountered a sake with such a chocolate-like aroma. The aroma alone is so strong that it is hard to believe it is sake. After a little time, the aroma reminds one of sourness. The aroma reminded me of a unique sourness, perhaps derived from brewer's yeast, like vinegar. The overall impression is that it is unique, but sweet and softly integrated. The taste is completely different from the impression of the aroma. The attack is full-bodied and sweet. There is a firm umami from a very early stage of spreading, and although the acidity is also firm, it is not "fresh" or "lively," but rather a slow acidity that accompanies the full-bodied, umami flavor. The 80% milling ratio of the rice makes for a complex wine with many flavor elements. The elegant taste, which is perhaps derived from the oak barrels, has a slow and elegant tannin-like bitterness, and the woody after-flavor on the nose adds to the complexity. All of the flavor elements are strong, and the overall quality of the wine is very robust and drinkable.

The color is clear and colorless with a slight yellow tinge. The aroma is very floral, with white fruits such as white peach and lychee, and raw material aromas such as glutinous rice cake and white dumplings. There is also a slight powdery impression. On the palate, the attack is firm and sweet, with a smooth texture. It has the sparkling, slightly bubbly and refreshing sensation of nama-shu, but overall it has a solid sweetness and umami, and is a very drinkable sake.

Sentori. Compared a standard snowball and a UA snowball. The color of the UA is slightly cloudy, and the UA seems to have a bright yellowish color. The aroma is completely different. The standard aroma has a strong impression of lactic acidity, like that of a yogurt drink. It also has a soft, woody aroma, like that of wood barrels. The UA's aroma impression is first of all floral. The aroma is fresh and sweet, like white flowers and green apples. After a little time, the aroma of raw ingredients also comes out, and the fragrance reminds one of the dry umami flavor of raw rice. The standard flavor is an elegant sweetness, and from the second half, it too has an elegant acidity, umami, and a faint bitterness that spreads. The UA is a bit more obvious, with a bright sweetness that is more pronounced on the attack. In the second half, the rough, complex umami and bitterness spread, perhaps due to the lower rice polishing ratio. Both have fine bubbles of active nigori. The UA has a sweet and gorgeous aroma and taste, giving the impression of being easy to drink, and it also has a strong flavor component, making it suitable for beginners. The Standard has a more delicate and beautifully integrated flavor, and should be enjoyed not only with food, but also as a stand-alone sake.

13% alcohol by volume The wine is lightly cloudy with some faint bubbles. The aroma is of white peaches, apples, white flowers, and fruit sweetness, as well as an impression of sweetness like white sugar. The rice polishing ratio is 60%, but there is a powdery, raw material aroma as if the rice had been polished rather well, like Kamishinko (freshly ground rice flour) or shiratama dango (white dumplings). The taste also has a mild sweet attack and refreshing acidity, giving the impression of sweet, sour, and juicy. It gives the impression of being easy to drink, and although the alcohol content is low for sake, it feels even lower than that. It has a slightly sparkling, fresh, and raw sake-like taste when first opened, though not as fizzy as a sparkling sensation. The second half has a moderate sharpness, and the overall impression is sweet and soft, but the refreshing acidity in the first half and the slightly dry umami in the aftertaste make it seem more than just sweet.

Polishing ratio 90%, alcohol 14%. It has an unusual color with faint orange and pinkish tints. The aroma is packed with elements reminiscent of sweetness, acidity, and umami. The aroma is full of elements reminiscent of orange, white bean dumplings, and Chitose candy. The aroma, which reminds one of sweetness in the midst of acidity, is floral and white floral, but rather than fresh flowers, it is more like a flower-inspired aroma or perfume. On the palate, the attack is mildly sweet. And a piquant acidity. Smooth texture. From the aftertaste to the lingering aftertaste, the bitterness lingers on slowly and for a long time. The lingering finish has a tangy acidity and a slightly powdery impression of umami.

100% improved Nobukou, 15% alcohol. Colorless and transparent. Sweet and gorgeous aroma. The impression is more like white sugar, cotton candy, and marshmallow than fresh sweetness of fruits and flowers. The taste is also soft and gentle sweetness from the attack. From the mid-palate, there is a delicate acidity, and in the second half, a slightly juicy acidity and a moderately firm sharpness. The lingering taste is light and delicious. Impressive sake quality with soft sweetness and a delicate, light mouthfeel. It may be overpowered by dishes with strong flavors. Enjoy it mainly with sake.

The bubbles are so energetic that the cork pops when the bottle is uncorked. The aroma is gorgeous, with white fruits such as white peaches and white flowers. The aroma is of cream cheese derived from the yeast's natural yeast. The aroma reminds us of sweetness such as Chitose candy and white dumplings. It also has an impression of wood, although it does not seem to be brewed in a wooden vat. The taste also has a soft sweet attack. The bubbles are fine and foamy with a firm effervescence. The bubbles and refreshing acidity give a crisp impression, but the aftertaste is sweet and sour with a strong umami. There is also a slight bitterness in the aftertaste.

The color is clear and colorless. The nose has some floral elements, but the aroma is not as strong, and there are some mild elements. Hints of apple, and citrus like grapefruit and orange. There is also an element of concentrated sweetness, like nectar from flowers. There is also a slight riceiness, like a little bit of Kamishinko (rice powder). With 13% alcohol, the attack is quite mild and gentle. In the aroma, the alcohol is a bit pungent, but on the palate, it is much lower than 13%. It has a soft sweetness and a smooth texture. From the spread, it is still juicy sweet and sour with citrus fruits. The flavor is also smooth with almost no aftertaste sharpness, so overall, the impression is consistently smooth. It is very easy to drink, but some may find it lacking. The lingering umami is accompanied by juicy acidity and a tannin-like astringent element, as if it were made in wooden vats and aged in oak barrels. The lingering flavor is somewhat long, but the impression is delicate and reserved. The astringent element that lingers on the palate is also a tannin-like astringent element that tightens the palate.

Vigorous to the point of wiping out at the time of bottling. The color is clear and colorless with fine bubbles. The aroma is of green apples, white to yellow flowers, white dumplings and rice cake. On the palate, the sparkling flavor is refreshing, but there is a mild sweetness from the attack, a juicy acidity from the second half, and a strong umami, which gives it a concentrated and drinkable quality with a full flavor. The bubbles are fine but very energetic. The aftertaste has a fruity aroma of rice flavor, and the acidic flavor lingers on the tongue for a long time.

It was a three-day weekend, so I had a bottle. I was so careless because I had so many that I forgot to leave a tasting comment.... It's a very good wine! The wine has a strong sense of maturity and a complex aroma, yet it is smooth and easy to drink. It is smooth and easy to drink. It is about 10 years old, but it has a gentle aging, probably low tone aging. The acidity is firm.

100% Yamadanishiki produced in Nara Prefecture. Polishing ratio is undisclosed. The alcohol content is 14%. The label on the back of the bottle indicates which vat it was made in, and this is "Minami Moku Oke Oke No. 1.

100% Modified Nobukou, Polishing ratio 50%. ALC 16 degrees The color is clear and colorless. The aroma is gorgeous, with impressions of white flowers and fresh fruits such as grapefruit. Polished rice top-fruit. The alcohol tang is also pleasantly strong for its strength. The palate has a smooth, slightly thickened texture. The attack has a juicy impression with an acidity reminiscent of citrus fruits. The second half is tightened by a firm sharpness and bitterness. The lingering umami and aftertaste are not strong, and the finish is light. Perhaps because of its sharpness, the overall impression is of a light mouthfeel, but the flavor elements are quite strong, especially in the first half, and it is interesting that the wine is also very drinkable.

A gift. A souvenir from Ehime. The color is clear and colorless. The aroma is sweet, more like syrup, sugar, or syrup than fruit or flowers. Cooked rice. The alcohol content is not particularly high at 15 degrees, but the alcohol's sultry aroma is a bit strong. Mild attack on the palate. Aftertaste from a tangy spread that is typical of alsobe. Although the sweetness in the first half gives the impression of being a bit sticky, this sharpness makes it a solid dry sake that would go well with a variety of dishes. A lingering bitterness lingers in the aftertaste.

Aged 7 years. The color is a solid yellow. The aroma is exactly like a sugary liquor that has matured, giving the impression of caramel and mustard. In addition, the aroma is like soup stock, mushrooms, and soy sauce. In terms of fruit, it is like kumquat nectar. On the palate, it has a thick texture, a firm sweetness, and a rich umami flavor that is truly a well-aged sake. However, perhaps because the alcohol content is slightly lower at 14-15 degrees, the alcohol's stimulation and sharpness are a bit milder, making it easier to drink, or perhaps you may feel that it is a bit lacking. (Personally, I find it a little lacking.) However, the low alcohol content keeps you from getting tired of drinking it, and it keeps you feeling comfortable like you are soaking in a low-temperature hot spring. You can savor the umami with a slight bitterness in the aftertaste and lingering aftertaste.
