Sake with a variety of flavor variations, just like the label says 🍶 Slightly carbonated, fresh fruit aroma and sweetness, pleasant acidity, and a slightly bitter aftertaste, making it a refreshing drink. Although it is a junmai sake, it is crisp and easy to drink like a junmai ginjo sake. It is a very delicious sake.

Light type, 55% polished rice, 14% alcohol by volume Sake meter: -6.0, Acidity: 2.8, Rich sweet taste Rice: Hitogokochi, Nagano R yeast (high malic acid producing yeast), fire-aged This is a summer sake from a local brewery, Kitaan Okuni. It has a strong acidic flavor reminiscent of lemon with a lactic acid aroma. It tastes like yogurt. It is recommended to drink it well chilled 😊. I don't know if it's a bad idea, but it's also good with soda 😅 I thought it would go well with lamb stewed in curry. Thanks for the refreshing summer drink ❗️

Light type Rice used: Yume Issen Polishing ratio: 55 I had a junmai ginjo the other day and it was so good that I wanted to try the nama-shu as well. I wanted to try the namaishu as well, so I bought this sake. It has a fruity aroma like muscat, a good balance of sweetness and sourness in the mouth, a citrusy taste like lemon, and a slight bitter taste like grapefruit. I'm glad I bought the raw sake - it was a delicious sake from ❗️😊.

Umakuchi type Rice used: Hanabukiyuki Polishing ratio: 55 Alcohol level: 16% Sake level: ±0 Acidity level: 1.6 I met "Tasake" 🍶 when I went out of town. When opened cold, it had a slightly carbonated, elegant banana-like aroma, a combination of spicy and sweet flavors, and a soft, crisp taste 😊. When heated up, the spiciness and sweetness were reduced and it became easy to drink. The aroma is like a nutty aroma, just like Yamahai. Serve with salted squid When heated up, it would go well with kinpira (spicy fish cakes). Thank you for finding this delicious sake 🍶😊.

Fruity type Yamadanishiki Polishing ratio: 59% Alcohol level: 16 Acidity: 1.8, Sake meter value: +4, light and dry It was purchased at a sake shop in Matsudai, Nagano. It is a very well-balanced sake with sweetness, richness of rice, mild acidity, and a fruity aroma like white peaches in the mouth with slight carbonation 🍶. The smoothness of the silken tofu matched the smooth texture of the sake. When heated up, the sweetness was subdued and the peach aroma remained and a gentle acidity emerged. It was a very good sake 🍶 ❗️ thanks 😊

Mouthfeel type Ingredient rice: Hitogochiki produced in Nagano Prefecture Polishing ratio: 59% Yeast: Association #7 Alcohol 15%, Sake meter: -2, Acidity: 1.8 Between rich sweet and rich dry. The sweetness that spreads in the mouth is harmonized with mild acidity, making it a light drink. The sweetness is felt when the bottle is opened, but as time goes by, the spiciness wins out and the mouthfeel changes to a crisp one. Light banana-like ginjo aroma and lactic acidity with a unique yogurt-like flavor. It goes well with mozzarella cheese, gratin, and other dishes with white sauce and cheese 🍶.

Aged type Ingredient rice: Yamae-Nishiki Aged for 3 years Rice polishing ratio: 60%, Sake meter value: +15, Acidity: 2.0 Between light-bodied dry and dark-bodied dry This is the first aged sake I've tasted. Because it has been aged for 3 years, it has a thin, jasmine and nutty aroma like Shaoxing sake, and is dry. When heated, the aroma softens and the flavor becomes stronger and easier to drink. Smoked cheese went well with it. Might go well with aged cured ham or salami. Also, this aroma would be good with lebanilla. Thank you for the delicious sake 😊.

Light type>Fruity type Rice used: 60% Yamadanishiki from Hyogo Prefecture, Polishing ratio: 60 It has a dry, clean taste with a faint pineapple-like aroma in the back, which will become more fruity as the rice polishing progresses. It is crisp and dry, so foods that are designed to mask (neutralize) the spiciness, such as white-meat sashimi, may be a good match for it. When heated, the spiciness is reduced and it becomes easier to drink 🍶. Thank you for the delicious sake 😊.

Cold: Fruity, Warmed: Umami Rice: Hitogokochi from Nagano, Polishing ratio: 59 Alcohol content: 15%, Production date: R5,December It has a fruity aroma like fresh melon with a nutty aroma in the back. It has a light sweetness but is dry and crisp, so it is a sake to drink in a wine glass. The dish to be paired with this sake is an appetizer with prosciutto ham (synergy), considering the aroma of melon, or Caprese with fruit tomatoes (So_1F345) for harmony. I also recommend drinking it with the subtle sweetness of Bonjiri (grilled with salt) to wash down and neutralize the fatty taste in your mouth. When heated, it retains the aroma of melon🍈 while bringing out the nutty aroma of peanut butter🥜, yet it is still a refreshing sake! It goes well with kinpira gobo (burdock root), which has the same earthy aroma, and may also go well with stewed beef and burdock. Thank you for the delicious sake 🍶😊.

More umami than matured type Rice polishing ratio 91%, Rice used: Nagano rice, Rice malted rice Alcohol 15%, Sake degree +2.0, Acidity 2.2 Mellow and dry Production month: 23,March Shipment month: 23,November The first bottle purchased for trial Fresh acidity and lactic acidity, firm rice flavor, light amber color. It goes well with hard cheeses like Parmigiano when cold, yakitori liver (sauce), miso flavored nabe, cucumber in tamari, and other solid tasting dishes. Warm it up with a hot sake to remove the acidity and give it a refreshing taste. This was my first low-milled sake and it was delicious with a robust flavor.

Fruity type, 60% polished rice We purchased this wine thinking it would be a "tasty" type to go with oden, but it is actually a fruity type! It is slightly carbonated and has a ginjo aroma like strawberry or kiwi, which later turns into a pear-like aroma. It is easy to drink, yet has a rice flavor deep inside 🍶. If it is served cold, it is good with cheese and other umami flavors. When warmed up, it has more spiciness, umami, and sweetness, making it an umakuchi type. Might be good to pair with a dish such as bonito tataki with an eye to masking and neutralizing the flavor. It is better to warm it up for oden.

Fruity type, Polishing ratio 55 Rice used: 100% Yamae-Nishiki from Omachi City, Nagano Prefecture Alcohol 14%, Sake meter -23%, Acidity 3.0, Super rich sweet taste Yeast: Nagano R yeast Sake made with apple yeast. Refreshing with a strong acidity and a slight carbonation. Sweet and sour like green apple, with a young aroma like blue banana. When warmed, the sweetness weakens and the spiciness of sake becomes stronger. It may be recommended to drink it cold rather than warm. It goes well with avocado dishes, spring-like bamboo shoot dishes, Fukino miso (with sweetness), and kinome (sprouts). Fried food (tempura, chicken cutlet): complements the flavor.
