Polishing ratio: undisclosed Alcohol content: 10
Sake made from rice grown in Shonan. There is almost no fizziness. It has a strange sensation of sourness rather than the sweetness one would expect from doburoku.
Rice polishing ratio 55%, alcohol content 16%.
The light nigori taste makes you think it is sweet, but it has a strong sharp acidity. You will never get tired of drinking it!
Polishing ratio 50%, alcohol content 14.5%, 100% Yamadanishiki
Lightly effervescent. The soft sweetness on the palate is quickly followed by a sourness that spreads quickly and finishes with a bitterness. This is a sake that will make you want to drink more and more.
Rice polishing ratio 55%, alcohol content 16%, 100% Hoshijirushi
This sake is made from Hoshijirushi, a rice grown to reduce the amount of sake rice cultivated in the Corona disaster. The taste is mild to say the least, and frankly speaking, it is light, although it has some Izumihashi-like characteristics. The flavor is more umami when warmed than when cooled.
Polishing ratio not disclosed Alcohol content 12% Hachitan-Nishiki 100%.
The sweetness and acidity are well balanced and delicious. It is not a lemon or melon, but an orange.
Polishing ratio 50%, 15% alc.
The label says it has a sense of maturity and balance, a unique acidity, and a transparency that is typical of Tenmei. The unique acidity is convincing. The sweetness on the palate is quickly replaced by sourness. Stimulates the appetite.

The fruity taste is not so typical of Yamori, and the bitterness is strong. It is not the taste we expect from Yamori.
Rice polishing ratio 40%, 17% alcohol by volume, 100% Yamadanishiki
It has a nice aroma. When you drink it, it has a very fruity aroma as the label says. The sharpness is also good. Although it is a dry sake with a high alcohol content, it is easy to drink. Dangerous.
Polishing ratio 50%, 15% alc.
The aroma is gorgeous. As you can imagine, it has a full flavor. The taste is just right, with a calmness that is not that of a pure sake. It is one of the most delicious sake we have had recently!

This is the first time to drink this sake. The taste is fresh and not raw. The sweetness is followed by a nice thick rice flavor.

It is fire-aged but has a subtle chilliness. Overall, it is a fruity and robust sake with sweetness, acidity, and bitterness coexisting in a heavy flavor.
Rice polishing ratio 55%, alcohol content 15%, 100% Kinmon-Nishiki
It is dry and crisp, with less floral and sweetness. It is a bit different from the impression of Kawanakajima Genmai so far.
Rice polishing ratio 55%, alcohol content 16.5%, 100% Sake Mirai produced in Yamagata Prefecture
Reasonably priced for the sake made with Sake Mirai. It is neither sweet nor spicy, and is best suited as a food sake, which is understandable. Excellent balance.

This is a collaboration product with a sake brewery. It is sweet and delicious on the palate. It has a sweet and delicious taste, which can be said to be typical of Aizan, but it is outstanding. The sourness comes out gradually, and the bitterness finishes it off.

Sweet and delicious. The last time I opened a bottle, it was a sour Beaumichel, so I opened it for sweetness and it was as good as I expected. You wouldn't know it was Yamagata sake if I told you it was from Yamagata without showing you the label.
Good evening, nakopapa!
Hanamup is delicious 😋.
Rikuwada was my first visit to Hanamup and the sake was as good as the rumors ⤴️
I'd like to try Yamagata's sake too 🤗.

Gorgeous aroma. Sweetness and acidity with a slight effervescence. It has a strong assertiveness, but also goes well with food.

I was a little impressed with how good this wine tasted after a long time. It is fruity, with just the right amount of sweetness and acidity, and it goes down smoothly. This is what sake should be all about, right?
