2. a type of rice called Koei Kiku no Hakutsuki, and rice called Shinriki. The mouthfeel is thin or rather tasteless. There is some acidity, but it's like a carbonation that has been lost and is generally lacking. Jinriki, unfiltered, unfiltered, raw sake, about 2,000 yen, Otsuka Sake Shop in Honmachi.

It is fruity and sweet on the palate, but the sweetness does not linger and the aftertaste is rather dry. The rice is polished to 50%, and the balance of cleanliness and density is just right. Hassan Nishiki, Junmai Ginjo, 50%, unadjusted raw, 1,750 yen, Wine Shop Watanabe, Isesaki.

The mouthfeel is clean and refreshing. The sake flavor is not strong, and the rice flavor is not deep. The taste is similar to that of Gohyakumangoku. Although it is pure rice, it has a slight brewed alcohol taste that lingers. It could use some acidity. Gin no Sato, 50%, Junmai Daiginjo, 1,500 yen, Nakazawa Sake Shop in Yachiyo.

This is an untouched sake from Tamagawa. A type of rice called "Shukyu". The taste is fresh and dense, like an unfiltered, unpasteurized sake. The acidity is strong and matches the dark flavor. It does not linger and is refreshing to drink despite its density. Junmai Ginjo 60%, about 1,700 yen, Otsuka Sake Shop in Honmachi.

It's a kind of "Zero Man" of "Ro-Man". It is not too dense on the palate, but it is moderately dense and has a good balance of umami and spiciness. It seems to make the most of the characteristics of the Gohyakumangoku rice. The aftertaste is slightly eggy, but not overpowering, and on the second day, it seems to have become more acclimated and the rice flavor has mellowed, but it does not lose its edge, and the egginess or bitterness is just right. Junmai Ginjo, 55%, about 1600 yen, Otsuka Sake Shop in Honmachi.

The palate is crisp, with a good balance of acidity and flavor. The aftertaste is crisp and clean, with no sweetness left behind. As the label says, it is designed to be "the ultimate shokuchu-shu," so it is perfect as a shokuchu-shu. Junmai Ginjo, Origarami, raw sake, 55%, about 1600 yen, Otsuka Sake Shop in Honmachi.

This is a Yamada-Nishiki from Ichibai-Suisei. The mouthfeel is sweet and fragrant, and the taste of rice is typical of Yamadanishiki, but it is fresh and moderately fruity. The aftertaste is well-balanced with no unpleasant aftertaste. It is my favorite Yamadanishiki sake, but it could be better with some acidity. 50%, Junmai Ginjo, 2000yen.
