The rice is organically grown and called Omachi, which tends to produce a strong sweetness. When you take a sip, you can feel the rich aroma of fruit, apple, pineapple, and rice. I could feel the sweetness of the rice. The sweetness is firm and full. But it also has a nice crisp finish. It's a high level of perfection. I can't say that the taste is secondary to the fact that it is organic. I enjoyed it with boiled spinach and grilled mackerel. This is the kind of sake that gently accompanies you at your daily table and makes you feel happy every day. It's a well-balanced sake, which is why it fits so well.

White peaches (canned?). There are also hints of melon, cashew, and rice. It's not flashy, but it has a moderate aroma that doesn't interfere with the meal, and a rich sweetness. It's fresh and refreshing, with a touch of freshness. It's easy to drink even though it's 16 degrees Celsius, so I got drunk again today.

It was made in France using rice grown in France. It has a faint milky aroma with a refreshing taste of grapefruit, muscat and raspberry. It also has a freshness like grapefruit, muscat and raspberry. In the mouth, you can feel the juiciness, and the overall impression is refreshing, but there is acidity and a slight astringency in the back end. The backbone of the wine is more like wine, and it is like a white wine that is much closer to sake. You can feel the new possibility of sake. This is made from rice, isn't it? Today, I paired it with cream cheese in general. Of course mascarpone, but it also goes well with sticky cheeses such as Camembert. It is definitely more Western than Japanese. It goes well with the fresh acidity of tomato sauce, or the rich flavor of meat sauce with oil and salt. If you're looking for a Japanese dish, how about sashimi with sudachi (sea bream)? My imagination is soaring.

They got the yeast from sunflowers. Of course, it doesn't smell or taste like sunflowers. The aroma of rice comes through the nose easily, and the mouthfeel is slightly sweet, but it also comes through easily. It's very fresh. It is not watery at all, and while it has a solid structure, it is somehow light. The balance of this lightness is superb. You can enjoy it with just sake, but it also goes well with food. Today, I served it with pickled cucumbers and myoga. I think it goes well with such refreshing salty and vinegary summer dishes.

The aroma is cashew nuts, with a hint of fresh grapefruit. The sweetness and deliciousness spread quickly, and the sourness is refreshing. It is like biting into a fruit. Since the alcohol is the star of the show, it would go well with light but fatty dishes such as avocado slices, sautéed mushrooms with butter, and tongue salt with a squeeze of lemon. Of course, a dish with lots of cheese would also go well. You will drink too much.

Sweet honey and a hint of white flour. Grapefruit and honeyed apples. Delicious because it's packed with flavor, sweet but not gooey! It would go well with sweet and spicy dishes such as meat and potatoes or boiled sea bream. Right now I'm just pairing it with surume (dried squid), but I guess it goes with everything.

This sake is made from a rice called "Rohafu". The rice that can be obtained only in Nara Prefecture was used at Aburanaga Shuzo in Nara. The first impact is a melon, a melon that may be juicier than the real thing. This is the first time I've ever had such a middle-of-the-road strike and taste. It's supposed to be sweet and juicy, but it doesn't have an unpleasant sweetness, and the carbonation or acidity tightens it up. It's so carbonated that the cap almost flies off. The taste is similar to Bunkajin Natsu Jun Gin. Even if you don't have a snack, you will be happy. There is no limit to how good it is. If you want to pair it with a side dish, it would go well with spinach soaked in soy sauce, cold tofu, salted nabe in winter, or even crab nabe.

Sake made with kuratsuki yeast. The sound of "Shizenshu" straightforwardly conveys our commitment. The aroma is of calm rice, but not powdery and elegant. When you put it in your mouth, the richness of the rice spreads quickly. It quickly tightens up with a good acidity. It is like a honey born from rice. The honey of rice. Today, I'm having it with salty chanko nabe and avocado with wasabi and soy sauce. This sake is so versatile that it can serve as both rice and sake.

Today, unusually, I entered the second brand. It seems to be derived from Char of Gundam. Floral, lychee and pear. It tastes sweet and full. It tastes sweeter and fuller than the so-called Daiginjo, but it is an honorable impression. It may be suitable for western food with strong taste like demi-glace sauce.

Maybe it's the pure rice, but it has a slight aroma of soft rice cake, and then melon. Orthodox, I like it. When I rented it to warm up, I felt a strong melon aroma at first, but it soon became more round. Today, it happened to be chige nabe, but it would go well with salted nabe, which has a lighter taste. Of course, it would be excellent with sashimi, sushi and simmered dishes...

It's in the category of cold grating, which has been sitting for about a full year since it was made. It is definitely round and mild. Every time you put it in your mouth, you will feel at ease. Milky, nutty, with a slight hint of dead grass (nice aroma!) . It is rich and has no corners at all. The taste is refreshing both warm and cold. When warmed up, the aroma of milk and nuts become more pronounced. Today just with edamame. I want to combine it with oden or simmered vegetables. I want to try a soy milk nabe if I want to combine it with a fragrance.

It's not flashy, but it has a rich, full melon and sweet floral aroma. There is a hint of sweetness, but it comes in nicely. How soft and cohesive it is. It washes away the oil and saltiness of the dish, which makes it mouthwatering again. It goes well with the rice itself. Therefore, as the label says, it is recommended to drink while eating. It goes well with a wide range of Japanese dishes, including salted mackerel and sushi.

The young brewers grew the rice themselves. The label is refined and lean, suggesting an entire field of beautifully grown rice. The aroma, which seemed quiet at first, is juicy like grapefruit in the mouth. The sweetness of the rice swells, and the crisp acidity and bitterness finishes it off. The impression is similar to Kuramoto Shuzo's KURAMOTO64 Yamadanishiki, with a frightening degree of perfection. It is not too sweet and has a nice finish, so it is a perfect match for Japanese food as well as rich Chinese dishes such as sweet-and-sour pork and shrimp chili.

A clunk as soon as you open the bottle. The aroma is faint and refreshing, with a hint of rice. Juicy, sweet with a hint of grapefruit and blood orange, with just the right amount of acidity. . It has a bitter taste at the end. Since it is the leading sake, it goes well with light sashimi, slime and cheeky fish. I'm sure I'll drink it with simple snacks.

The label description says it smells of lychee and muscat. I didn't think it was possible, but when I actually put it in my mouth, it's like I was smitten by a lychee. While the aroma of lychee and muscat, it has an exquisite sweetness that is not disgusting - like a grapefruit! It is crisp and sour. However, we shouldn't forget that even if you discount the aroma, it's definitely a great sake. The sweetness and sourness of the sake is pure, and even the slight bitterness gives it a juicy taste, which is like a blueprint for the sake. Perfect sake. It would go better with an acidic Italian atmosphere, such as caprese and marinades, than with Japanese seafood.

率直に美味しい。ラムネ、メロン、ジューシー、プチプチ。生では無いらしいが、爽快なフレッシュさ。まさに夏酒。香りが主役だか、やや甘み→爽やかな酸味と炭酸刺激→ほのかな苦味。柚子皮を落としたお浸し等マッチしそう。
