Hirotogawa Special Junmai, a standard brand. This is good. The sake itself is not flashy, but the sweetness of the rice spreads softly and the aroma smells like melon. It is good chilled or lukewarm, and goes well with food!
Tsukiyoshino from Ueda, Shinshu
This oorigaran sake has a refreshing taste on the palate. The aroma of green apples and muscat-like fruit is highly detectable, followed by a sweet taste,
After the sweet taste, it goes down quickly and crisply.
It goes well with meals!
Beaumichelle is my latest addiction,
It has a softly spread sweetness and flavor. It is easy to drink, yet still somewhat light. The slightly fruity aroma is also good.
It is sharp and very easy to drink.
It is hard to believe it is sake. It is like a white wine.
The alcohol content is also low, so you can enjoy it easily.
Beaumichel is my latest addiction. It has a pleasantly acidic flavor reminiscent of white grapes, with a gaseous taste. It has a clean aftertaste, but the ori (oli) gives it a fuller, richer flavor, making it a good choice for sake beginners.
The alcohol content of 9 degrees is quite low for a sake, making it easy to drink, so be careful not to drink too much!
Shinshu Kamerei has become very popular. It is difficult to buy it even at local sake stores, but I happened to find it and bought it. I thought I had already had enough of it, but I realized it was my first time drinking it, so I am uploading it here as a reminder.
It is light and easy to drink, and is a recommended dry sake for nightly drinking. It is light, but has a rich mouthfeel with a fruity, sweet flavor. Needless to say, the taste is delicious.
The palate has a ripe apple-like aroma.
It has a rich flavor, but the aftertaste is clean and refreshing.
Very tasty. I recommend it at a moderate price!
Mikotsuru's active limited edition sake. It is an activated nigori sake made from Yamae-Nishiki. It is an excellent sparkling sake with carbon dioxide gas from the bottle fermentation process, and each fine bubble leaves a pleasant dry sensation on the tongue. It was delicious! I will be back next year!
I drank ZAKU for the first time. I can't explain it well, but it was the first time for me personally. The aroma is full and lychee-like, just like the description says, and it goes down your throat very nicely. The aftertaste is very sharp, so it goes well with food and is an all-around great sake.
I chose it for its low price and cosmetics. It can be served at room temperature or chilled. It may be good for everyday drinking, but to be honest, it did not surprise me much.
Toyokan is still inexpensive and delicious!
It has a fresh, full, muscat-like mouthfeel. It is recommended as a food wine because of its good cost performance!
Dry special junmai sake from Daishinshu. I chose this sake for its cost performance, but it has a fresh and light Muscat-like mouthfeel. It also has a very nice sharp taste. I recommend this sake for its good cost performance.
Shoki-Mai Nama-Moto Junmai-Daiginjo Yamae-Nishiki, limited edition sake from Sanada, Ueda City. The flavor and umami of the rice spreads while the rich and heavy taste is felt. It is a roasty and stately sake.
Nigori sake from Kuroemon XVI. Be careful opening this one! It will pop. The sake itself is cloudy with a small amount of moderate gas. The taste is rich and fruity, the aroma fresh and very delicious.
Repeat purchase is a must!
It's frankly delicious, but I feel it's even better if you let it sit for a bit. It has a fruity, muscat-like flavor. It also has some acidity to tighten it up.
Gokotsuru is still delicious. It has a strong, dark flavor. The aroma is also moderately fruity. It is good on the first day, but it is even better after a few days. It is highly recommended as a food sake.
The aroma is melon-like and fruity, and the mouthfeel is rich and thick. The aftertaste is crisp and clean. It is well balanced and goes well with meals.
It has a mild pineapple-like fruity taste on the palate, followed by a mellow, voluptuous, and rich flavor. It is easy to drink and very tasty with a fizzy, bubbly taste.
I have always wanted to drink the classic Sentori, Mukonin.
It was my first time to drink it, and it was very good! Personally, I think it is a mellow and aromatic version of Sogapère Eiffice, which is like a combination of sake and white wine. It goes well with food and is great as a food wine.
It is also very cost effective.
