Polishing ratio 50%, alcohol content 15%, Fukunoka from Minamiaizu
The label is cute. At first, the sweetness is slightly sweet and acidic, with bitterness following and kicking in later. It has a thick flavor for a Junmai Daiginjo.

Polishing ratio 59%, alcohol content 14%, 100% Miyamanishiki from Nagano Prefecture
This year we also received wine from Obuse Winery. I used to feel like I was drinking wine when it was in a wine bottle, but this one is definitely sake. The acidity when you taste it has something in common with Shinmasa, which specializes in 6-row yeast. Both Akita and Nagano sake are hard to compare and contrast.

Polishing ratio: 40% for koji rice, 50% for kake rice Alcohol content: 16
The supernatant is very sweet. I thought it might be Omachi, but there is nothing on the label. Is it not? And the sweetness is emphasized even more when the ori is mixed with it. It is delicious.

The sweet aroma is as fruity as the impression it gives, with a firm umami taste from the mid-palate. It complements the food it is served with.

Good evening, nakopapa!
Saku-sama's Enochi is delicious 😋.
Matching the taste with the food is one of the most enjoyable aspects of sake 😊.

Polishing ratio 60%, alcohol content 15%, 100% Gohyakumangoku produced in Yokohama City
This sake is made from rice grown in Totsuka-ku, Yokohama. It has a nutty aroma, and when you drink it, it has a robust dry taste with a focus on acidity, probably because the rice has not been cut down too much. The sharpness is not bad, so it is suitable as a mid-meal drink.

This is the first time I have had a fruit liqueur with sake. It was very sweet and thick. It was like drinking mashed strawberries. It might be dangerous that I don't feel much alcohol.

According to the label, the concept is lemon-like sourness. Whether it is lemon or not, one can taste the sourness that accompanies the sweetness. It has a modern taste with a nice sharpness.

Polishing ratio 55%, alcohol content 18%, 100% Yamadanishiki produced in Shizuoka Prefecture
I bought this sake from a sake brewery in Hamamatsu at Hamamatsu Station, where the brewery had its own store. My impression of Shizuoka sake was that it was a clear, elegant sake with little showiness, but this one was quite aggressive. It is dry and refreshing, but has a strong umami flavor.

Polishing ratio: Koji rice 60%, Kake rice 70%, Alcohol 14%.
It is not too stimulating and goes down smoothly in the mouth. I was surprised to see the rice polishing ratio because I had this impression. At first, there is a sweetness and a moderate acidity for Koei-Kiku, and then gradually a bitterness is felt.

Nigori (nigori) sake with no added yeast. There is a lot of orikori. When you drink the supernatant, you can taste the acidity typical of Senkou, but when you mix in the ori, the sweetness comes out and reveals a different face. The label is long, but it is also a delicious sake with a strong flavor profile.

Purchased at a Kagoshima specialty store. There were many shochu liqueurs around. It is made from rice, but it smells like a sweetpotato when you drink it. It might be because it has a sour taste. It is not so sweet and has a clear taste, so it is not so bad.
