I was skeptical when I got this unfamiliar, crackpot-like sake, but it turned out to be decent. I had my suspicions, but it turned out to be decent. It tasted like a typical Niigata sake, in the style of Yukinubai, Koshijino Benibai, Kubota, and Hakkaisan. No special characteristics, but the basics are done (from the top). It was relatively easy to drink, so it was just right for daily evening drinks.

This is an Aeon brand Kubota. Kubota wants to give a sense of originality, supervised by a sake sommelier. I drink it anyway, but I end up thinking about Kubota all the time because I have Kubota to compare it to. So why didn't you just buy Kubota from the beginning? Sennensui is a sake that makes you want to drink Kubota. The main thing is that the taste is crisp and clear, just as the description says, with an emphasis on pairing with food. The aftertaste is also light. Atmospheric Kubota. A Kubota that follows you wherever you go. (But Asahi Shuzo has many other brands besides Kubota. (But Asahi Shuzo has many other brands besides Kubota, just because I am not experienced enough.)

Is it because I've been drinking it for so long that I feel at ease, or is it the power of this drink in the first place? This year's Yukichubai was also delicious. Sometimes I get a few that are not so good. But the tasty ones are good whether they are sake or regular sake. Let me drink it again!

I thought that Kyushu must be quite a good place for sake, and I am Kuroda Bushy from Fukuoka. I have been drinking a lot of different kinds of sake recently, and I think my palate has become dulled in terms of its characteristics... (I mean, I am chronically drinking too much). It is a daiginjo, so it has no peculiarities that bother me, and I drink it every night like I am obsessed with it. It ran out too soon... what a waste... It has a refreshing to mellow taste, a refined throat and no unpleasant aftertaste. Thank you very much.

Is this a limited edition product sent as a shareholder gift from a mail order site called Belluna Gourmet? It seems to be a product. It seems to be distributed in considerable quantities, but it is strange that there are no reviews on Sake-no-wa. However, I somehow found out the reason and will discuss it later. As for the taste, well, it tastes good. So I would say it is worth the price. It is a Niigata rice sake. It is sweet and has no strange peculiarities. It has none of the characteristics of so-called long-established stores or brands. It is a safe, unremarkable taste. It seems to be intentionally made to taste that way. Sake distributed only through mail-order websites has a distinctive label, and many labels are inconspicuous and not too concerned with individuality or design. Many sake breweries are located in famous areas, but many of them are unknown to us. I am not sure if there is a system in the sake brewing industry, but I have the image of a project that is made by a subcontractor or a small brewery at a low price. I think this is a genre that people who like sake and are particular about it will not come close to.

Everyone is familiar with Hakkaisan. You can find Hakkaisan almost everywhere you go. It has the rich sweetness and aroma of rice that is typical of Niigata. What is typical of Hakkaisan is the subtle aftertaste of sweet sake after swallowing. This is worth mentioning and is the reason why people say they like it. The taste design symbolizes a sake that is typical of a rice-producing region and a sweet sake. I wonder if it is my imagination that the mouthfeel changes every time depending on the condition of the drinker.

Normal. I know this kind of expression is considered rather negative, but it is normal. I would never like to say that it tastes "normal," but it is normal... It is not bad, nor does it have any particular aroma or impression that should be noted. I have never had such a drink before. I drink a fixed amount every night, and soon it is gone.

As the name suggests?　It was a drink with no previous information. I drank it cold as usual and found it to be very good! I can't say whether it is light or not, since it is a medium-bodied sake, but "umakuchi" is exactly what it is. Morioka is great! Please give me another one! It has a refreshing feeling that makes you want to say, "Please give me another one! （I can't say if it's a medium-brew or not, but it's exactly what it sounds like.) (Is this what you call "tarei"?) Note that when it gets lukewarm, it suddenly starts to smell like a hangover, so we advise you to take it out of the fridge and pour it every time. The reason why I've been emptying a bottle of sake so quickly lately is simply because I've been drinking more and more, but this sake was so delicious that I'll make an exception...(^...) ^)

This series was recommended by the people of Fukui Prefecture. The fact that this sake is loved by the locals gives you a sense of security even before you drink it. Although it claims to be dry, it has a gentle dryness, or rather, a rather mild taste, almost like a medium mouthfeel. On the other hand, it has a clean and sharp taste, and the aftertaste disappears easily without leaving any unpleasant aftertaste. This may be the secret to its long-lasting popularity. I drank a lot of sake this time, and it ran out quickly. My body must have been craving for Ippongi... Thank you very much for the food.

I found another great sake ♫ I want to say, "I found another great sake! It is a fresh, fruity, and quite sweet sake. The subtle petitiveness just before the slight foaming sensation is very enticing to the palate. And the alcohol content is 19%, so you get a big thump right after drinking it! We're all going to have a good time getting drunk today! and opened a bottle of this one, and we all toasted with glasses full of it! Let's go drink it up! I thought to myself, "If I could do this with ......... when I was in my late 20s or early 30s, it would be a happy party...". I've heard that there are a lot of sake in Nagano (not just wine), and I think it has high potential. The peaceful scenery of Kawakami-cho in Minamisaku-gun is one of my precious things. I'd love to drink there again.

This time I drank a ginjo-shu from Shizuoka Prefecture. It was a beautiful sake with a fruity-fruity aroma and rice flavor, although it was a bit old. I guess it is because of the location, and the water they use also contains a lot of richness of nature. I can't explain it well, but it has a very pleasant hard-water texture that the Japanese like. That's what Shizuoka is all about! I would love to visit a sake brewery when I am in the area.

I have an indescribable longing for Saga and Nagasaki prefectures. I sometimes go to Kurume for work, but the scenery I see in front of the station or driving along the river, well, it's not that peculiar. I don't know why I have this impression, but I feel like it's a "hidden prefecture". This product is a top choice that does not betray my impression. The sweetness and spiciness is a little sweet, almost normal. It tastes like clean water with carefully dissolved white sugar. Very refreshing! I would recommend it if you find it in a bar! I poured more than usual and guzzled it down. I would like to drink 2 to 3 more bottles.

I acquired this ginjo-shu by chance, but it was overshadowed by the overly delicious Matsu no Tsukasa that I had drunk a bottle of before, and I finished it without grasping its appeal. I clearly remember that it only tasted like a sake from Hyogo Prefecture.

A wonderful junmai ginjo for the festive New Year! Beyond fruity, tropical! A great New Year has arrived! However, I bought it mistaking 1800 for 720. The shock of the taste on the opening day will not be forgotten for the time being... Although I was excited this time, I also wanted to try the standard sake of Matsuse Sake Brewery.

This is Kyoto's sake! From the moment you drink it, you will say, "Refreshing! Sukkiri!" and it flows down the back of the throat while singing The back of the mouth sings, "Rice! Rice! Kire! Kire!" and disappeared into my stomach. They say that the taste is a description of the taste and not a word, but it is rare that words trickle in with the taste. From the third day after opening the bottle, the taste became slightly milder and more homey. Kinki region sake continues to not be my best, but it was a delicious learning experience.

Ichinokura sweet sake from Miyagi. Sweet! So I tried it. It is a sweet taste based on Ichinokura's taste. It is quite good! If I had to say so, I would say that while it is unscreened and reasonably priced, it tastes a bit bland. However, there is a clear standard, and I think it is good for sake marketing to have a playful spirit to offer such a different type of sake that deviates from that standard. I enjoyed it.

I can assure you that it is a great sake for sake beginners and light users like myself. Because of this refreshing drinking experience, the sweet and light residual aroma, and the ability to reset itself after the second glass of deliciousness! A model of sake! My recommendation! The name and taste are as good as the atmosphere of the rice, the stylish bottle with a very high fighting power, and the appearance that convinces even me, a Niigata Niigata noisy person! If all the izakayas put Kozen Josui on the table, it might take Otter's job. (These are just the drunken impressions of an amateur.) No wonder the price of this wine never goes down, even on the Mercury market! Please come to my house again!

Actually, I already drank a bottle and this is my second one. Why I didn't write about it last time is because I didn't know what to write about. Even I myself asked myself, "Why?" I have no idea how to express myself. Last night, I finished my second bottle and realized. It has no peculiar taste. I can say that the Ishiyo Nihonkai, which I posted before, has a typical peculiar taste. Houou Seitoku can be said to have no peculiar taste. They are both enjoyable and delicious! This is a ridiculously boring opinion piece.

Ichinokura is a sake that I consider to be representative of Miyagi Prefecture. Whenever I drink with people from there, it always comes up early on. Some of them say, "I can only buy a limited-edition sake called Shouzumi there, and I always buy it every time I go there! There is also a person who says, "I can only buy a limited edition sake called Shouko there. There must be a lot of fans. Although it is said to be dry, it is not that sharp, and has a slightly above-medium mouthfeel. The dryness is so exquisite that it resets the inside of the mouth and brain every 10 minutes or so, so you can't help but have a second serving. When I opened the bottle, I did not expect it to run down so fast. It made me realize that there are many different types of dry sake, and that you can't judge a sake by its description or preconceived notions. I must try it for myself. Please come to our house again!

It is the image of the sake that grandpa brings out every night at grandpa's house in the countryside. It is not the seasoning or brewing that is popular in 2022, but rather a classic or old school style. It's more like an everyday bottle that is gentle, nostalgic, and reassuring. In winter, warm it up. The aroma is exactly what you would expect from a sake without heating it up. Not too sweet, not too spicy. I won't repeat it, but I learned a lot from it.
