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?

Sagaminada is characterized by its fruity and sharp taste, but this one is less sweet and more sharp. It is a perfect match with food.

The sweetness of Aizan is combined with a sourness. It's a good wine, but it's not a good wine. The owner is a good person.

Gentle on the palate. It goes in smoothly with a strong rice sweetness. The high alcohol content creates the core of the flavor.

The sweetness is typical of Omachi. It is a Junmai Daiginjo but not too light, and the alcohol content is not so low as to be considered low. It has a firm umami flavor.

Mixed fermentation of No. 1 to No. 6 yeast and natural world bacteria. I thought Obuse sake, packed in wine bottles, resembled white wine, but this is sake. No wonder. The sweetness of the rice is the main flavor, with little acidity. But not too sweet, and at 70% polished rice, this is excellent.

Purchased at a store directly selling sake. The brewery does not make seasonal sake, but it was listed as a current recommendation. I asked them why, and they told me it was because the timing of the seasoning was just right. Well, I had to try it as soon as I bought it. It's so stylish, I can't imagine what it tastes like from the label. It says, "Like the moon floating silently in the night sky, this sake is gentle, full, and elegant. The overall taste is fruity, with a slight acidity and a strong bitterness at the end to support the fullness of the flavor. It seems to be a combination of Yamada-Nishiki and Association No. 10 yeast, which means that the acidity is not sharp, so it is gentle.

The juiciness of Aizan and the acidity of white malted rice blend well together. The low alcohol content makes it easy to drink. The taste is as good as expected from the specs.

Drink it cool and crisp in the hot summer. Don't underestimate it as a cup sake. Fruity and delicious. The fireworks design is also nice!

Caution: Do not open the bottle. True. I wonder why Kouei Kiku's cap is not a screw-on type. As soon as you remove the plastic guard and start pulling out the bottle, it pops! I was about to pop the cap, but it somehow managed to fit in my hand. Oh, no, it's not safe! It was less sour than I had imagined, and had a sweetness and bitterness that was typical of orikara. It's a bittersweet and bitter taste that is typical of orikara, and it's nice for the hot season.

It was priced well because it was alsobeared. But it is delicious. First of all, it has a nice aroma. When you drink it, it has a sweetness that is typical of Sairai, and the acidity and bitterness give it a nice depth of flavor. It has a nice sharpness, so you can drink it easily.

The aroma is like rum. There is a hint of orikomi involved, but it is not too sweet. It has a fresh, raw sake feel, and is delicious on a hot day.

The aromatic, elegant sweetness and acidity are the essence of Nabeshima. The wildness of the sake is added to this, giving it an exquisite taste. Perfect for hot days.

Delicious. The acidity is outstanding, accompanying the sweetness in the center. It finishes with a bitter taste. The technique to bring out the characteristics of the sake rice is amazing.
