とらきち
Sake I received as a gift. I don't buy sake for myself, so in a sense it is valuable (laugh). The ginjo aroma has a traditional sake flavor, with a hint of sake yeast. The attack is not so different from the ginjo aroma, and it is sharp without sweetness. No acidity. The aftertaste is clear. If you add 40 and 45 degrees to the water, the ginjo aroma becomes mellower, but the attack becomes stronger. Personally, I prefer it warmed up to 40-45 degrees. It would be nice if it had a little more acidity, but this is the original sake.

It has a strong attack and umami flavor, but it is dry. It is more enjoyable after a little while because of its fermentation and complexity. It is good as a food wine because it does not interfere with meals. It is also good as a food wine, even though it won a wine award. Personally, I enjoyed it with potato salad to increase the sweetness, and with nukazuke pickles to increase the fermentation.

This sake is a collaboration between Toyo Bijin and a liquor store that we patronize. The price is surprising for such a high rice polishing ratio and sake quality. The color is nigori and there are some ori. There is a ginjo aroma, but it is not strong. The texture is smooth and silky, but with a strong sweetness. The acidity is fresh, with a little umami and a slight aftertaste. As is typical of Toyo Bijin, it can be drunk by itself without any accompaniments, but it has a flavor that makes you want to pair it with grilled fish or chicken. I am looking forward to drinking it tomorrow and beyond. The next day: The acidity subsides and the sweetness increases, and surprisingly, the balance is better with cold sake.

The freshly opened ginjo aroma is very complex, with a strong acidity and sweetness on the attack, but with a low lingering aftertaste. The starting taste is firm. After a few minutes, the acidity settles down, and the sake takes on a fresh yeast yeastiness, sweetness, and aroma. I personally like sweetness, umami, and the sense of "sake" (like Gonin Musume and Kidoizumi), so I like it the day after the bottle is opened or at room temperature. According to the information from the liquor store where I purchased it, this will be a regular or standard Koei-Kiku. I think the flavor is aimed at a food sake, though, with the original ama acidity strength.

There is a little rice sweetness in the ginjo aroma, and the attack is a bit raw but soon clears up. There is also a little umami. Surprisingly fruity for a sake from Okayama (and the name gives the impression of fruity). It was a sake that I could keep drinking.

The ginjo aroma is small and faint. The attack is acidic and umami, with no lingering sweetness. There is a lingering sweetness of rice in a good sense. Because the umami rises slowly, it is delicious when consumed with food in the mouth. It goes well with a variety of dishes and is still a delicious sake that I like.

The ginjo aroma is faint. The attack is firm with umami and a little sweetness. It is a little more banana-like than green apple-like. The lingering aftertaste is clean, but it still has a taste unique to nama sake. There is a strong sense of gas. It is very tasty when paired with dashi (soup stock) such as okara (bonito flakes). I would like to try the non-nama sake as well.

The appearance is clear, the ginjo aroma is faintly apple-like, and in the mouth it has a smooth sweetness, umami, and acidity. The aftertaste is refreshing. Although it is from the Haneya brewery, it is sweet and easy to drink, so much so that it can be drunk on its own.

とらきち
Tamagawa's unfiltered unpasteurized sake that tastes great even when served with ice. It has a high alcohol content of 17 to 18 degrees C. The color is slightly yellow (not clear as the sake cup was difficult to recognize). The color is slightly yellow (not clear because the sake cup was difficult to distinguish the color), the ginjo aroma is high, and the taste is sweet and fermented, rather banana-like. After putting it in the mouth, it has a sourness, a fermented sweetness of the "ikuhashimoto" type, and a voluminous sweetness of the lactobacillus type. The aftertaste and lingering aftertaste are clean. As the temperature drops, the sense of "sake yeast" increases. I like it very much. The aroma may be delicious with ice, but personally, I think it is also delicious warmed up. PS: After that, I heard that it tastes better with ice, so I tried it again with ice and found that it tastes better when the ice has melted to some extent!

No color; ginjo aroma is slightly apple or pear-like; attack is firm and dry. Those who can handle alcohol will find sweetness and umami in this wine. Those who do not like alcohol may find it a little too dry. A little after opening the bottle, the alcohol taste becomes less intense and the sweetness increases. The sweetness also increases. Not good for warming up, perhaps because it is a summer sake.

The ginjo aroma is not much when cold, but as it approaches room temperature, there is an aroma. The attack is slow and banana-like, with a full sweetness and a light aftertaste. You can taste the flavor a little later after the bottle is opened. Personally, I prefer it a little closer to room temperature than cold.

The appearance is clear, with no viscosity. There is almost no ginjo aroma, and the attack after putting it in the mouth is strong, as is typical of dry wines. There is a hint of umami in the nose, and because it is a super dry sake, there is a slight alcohol taste in the aftertaste. Ideal for sashimi and other food. It is also a good sake to try heating it up.

There is little ginjo aroma, and when you put it in your mouth, it has a sweetness, followed by a sharpness that is typical of dry wines. The aftertaste is also a bit dry, but the alcohol content is low. It goes well with sashimi, soy sauce, and other savory and salty snacks. I thought that dry sake has changed a lot since the past. It is good for a mid-meal drink.

The ginjo aroma is like Shinomine, with a hint of sake yeast. The attack is firm, with immediate acidity and umami, and good sharpness. It is fresh but has umami. After a few days from opening the bottle, the attack becomes less aggressive and the umami and dryness increase. It is easier to drink than the Mogura series. Maybe because it is a summer sake.

The color is cloudy and the aroma is yogurt-like and banana-like. The attack is loose, with a little sweetness, a little acidity, and umami without bitterness or astringency, and a lingering, refreshing finish. It is easy to drink like drinking yogurt. It is a sake with a clear aftertaste, so it does not interfere with food, but it is also good to drink by itself as a dessert. I would like to try other series.

It has a light ginjo aroma when the bottle is first opened, and a sweet attack as soon as it enters the mouth, with a refreshing finish in the latter half. It also has a sake yeast yeast yeast flavor, and can be drunk cold even if you are not a fan of sake. It has not only the usual Naekaya flavor, but also a fermented taste, and the changes are very enjoyable and delicious.

The color is near clear. There is little ginjo aroma. There is little acidity and little raw material aroma. It is soft and light. It is good as a food sake, and can be served cold or with well-flavored foods, including simmered dishes. When the temperature is set to room temperature, it becomes more alcoholic.
