The taste has a somewhat strong depth, perhaps due to the Yamahai sake. It has a good balance of acidity and umami.

The first day I opened it, I thought the sake lacked depth.
On the second day, the aroma was weak but the umami was well pronounced.

It has acidity. It has sweetness but also has umami, and it is a sake that has both sweetness and umami. The umami flavor remains in the aftertaste.

The price was surprisingly 1,210 yen for a four-pack of junmai ginjo. When I asked the waitress why, she said it was because it was "aggressive" and therefore had a miscellaneous taste.
When I drank it, it had the juiciness typical of nama-zake. It has a slight sweetness, but more than that, the umami flavor is very apparent. I think this is because it is an aggressive sake. The umami flavor lingers in the aftertaste.
It is the best sake at a reasonable price.

This is a limited edition sake. It is said to be a sake made with a Bodhi yeast.
It has the acidity and gassiness typical of Kaze no Mori, but the sweetness is moderate. It is a light sake and does not leave much of a lingering aftertaste. Perhaps because the alcohol content is low at 11%, the body is weak and the sake lacks punch.

It is not too sweet and not too acidic, but has a good umami flavor. It is juicy, as is the case with nama-zake. It goes well with rice dishes.

I was told that this sake was brewed by a local development cooperative in Shiwa-machi, Iwate. I bought it because it is very interesting.
When you drink it, you can taste the sweetness and acidity very well. The sweetness in particular lingers in the aftertaste. It has a soft texture and is very pleasant on the palate. I like it very much.

I was told that this sake is brewed with non-standard rice and although it is junmai, it cannot be called junmai sake. I heard that it is a limited edition sake available only in about 10 stores in Japan, so I immediately bought it.
When I drank it, I found it to have a strong acidity and an unexpressible umami taste of rice. The umami lingers in the aftertaste. There is no sweetness. Perhaps because it is a Yamahai sake, it has a somewhat strong flavor. It has a strong personality and is very tasty.

This is a new sake rice called Hyakumangoku No Shiro. The label says it is a clear tasting rice with low protein content.
When I drink it, I can taste the umami but it is also light. Is this due to the taste of the rice on the label?
In addition, it has good acidity and a gaseous taste. There is almost no sweetness. There is also little ginjo aroma.
Pairing with Ate
The label recommends seasonal vegetables, white meat fish, and crustaceans, and it was true when we tried them all. ☺️

I bought this sake with interest because it was produced by Amatsu Kimura. They use black malted rice.
When I drank it, it tasted sweet and sour. It tastes sweet and sour. It is very light, yet it has the feel of a sake brewed by a Nanbu Touji (master brewer). It is very light, but has a surprisingly long aftertaste. It is delicious.

It has a strong rice flavor and is the center of the flavor. It is better during a meal than before a meal.
On the second day, the sake settled down and became very tasty. I will change my rating for my taste.

I was very interested in this wine when the sales clerk recommended it to me.
When I drank it, the rich umami flavor spread out. The umami lingers in the aftertaste for a very long time. The umami and acidity are in perfect balance. The umami lingers for a long time. It is delicious.

I have had Kaze no Mori several times, but I found this sake to have less sweetness and more of an austere aftertaste than I had imagined. In the mouth, the umami is well pronounced and the aroma is subdued. It has the gas and acidity typical of Kaze no Mori.
