As the label on the back of the bottle says, it is very dry, which is hard to believe that it is made from Yamada-Nishiki, as it is described as clean and beautifully dry. As someone who has narrowed down my tastes to a certain degree based on the rice used for sake, this kind of sake is not good for me. Moreover, it seems to be said that junmai sake can be changed in any way by the way it is made, and I am not sure what is true. I wonder what naturally brewed Yamada-Nishiki is like. I make a dry comment, but I will not touch the sake here.

It is said to be 100% Kame-no-o, junmai ginjo, but I got the impression that the acidity and sake-like taste were quite strong. When I warmed it up to lukewarm, it mellowed out and became nice. I usually don't warm good sake, but this one was more to my liking when heated. I was a bit reluctant to warm Kame-no-o, but I am happy with the result.

I had heard good things about this sake, so I wanted to try it once, and my daughter's partner brought it to me. And he brought me a bottle of dry sake to suit the Niigata people. However, unlike in the Showa era, it was not dry, but at a level where sweetness was not a priority. It is not as sweet as it was in the Showa period, but it is not as dry as it was in the Showa period. It has just the right amount of sweetness and a pure mouthfeel.

Good morning, Konnaky 😃. Abekan! It's delicious 😋Nice sense of your daughter's partner👍. I feel like these days, people are saying "Heisei sha?" about the old days rather than "Showa, isn't it?"... Times are changing 😅.

Sake sold only in Miyagi Prefecture, Honjozo. Very well balanced and refreshing. It has a taste that people from Niigata Prefecture like.

When I hear the name Kame-no-o, I am always attracted to it. It was an honest sake that was not too sweet and had a spiciness to it. It tasted better after a few days than right after opening the bottle.

It was slightly carbonated, so I guess you could call it nigori sparkling. Since it is sparkling while retaining the richness and sweetness of nigori sake, it is very easy to drink and has a nice acidity, making it a great starter. The label is also gentle and sake connoisseurs may not touch it, but it was a very tasty sparkling.

Kamo Nishiki is a sake that cannot be bought in Niigata, even though it is brewed in Niigata. (The non-packaged sake for Niigata, which is closer to light and dry, is now sold in the prefecture.) It was a delicious sake with a moderate sweetness, a refreshing taste, and no spines, and could be drunk with a meal.

When it gets cold, I want to drink hot sake. Speaking of hot sake, I also like sweet sake, so up until now I had been drinking brewed sake from Ofuku. But when I saw a bottle of Harazake at the store, I thought I'd give it a try. It was quite sweet, and it was junmai, and I don't know what that means, but it was called hara-sake. I thought I would choose Yamadanishiki for sweet sake, but I was wrong.

Niigata is known for its Koshitanrei. It is a wonderful sake that is both light and has a wide range of flavors. It may be my current top recommendation for Niigata.

The sweetness of the sake stands out, but there is no cloying taste, and the sake goes down smoothly. It is a very simple sake.

I wanted to try some sake from Fukushima and happened to pass by a fairly authentic sake shop in Aizu Sakashita, Fukushima. This sake shop is apparently producing a variety of sakes under the Akebono Sake Brewery's name, the Ao series. I had never tasted a sake rice called "Fukunoka" before, but the sweetness and fruity flavor were all over the place. It tastes even better on the second day after opening.

It is a junmai daiginjo, and while it has flavor, I think it is a refreshing sake. Compared to umakuchi mellow sake, it is on the contrary refreshing and makes you want to keep drinking it. The name "Natsu-gin" is very apt.

I bought it because of the beautiful golden label. Although it is made from Yamada-Nishiki, it is not extremely sweet, but it seems to claim that it is sake, and it is very drinkable.

I don't know what DHC is, but if a cosmetics company is involved and they made this taste based on their analysis, I'm convinced. Even if they are not involved, it is still good.

This may be the first time I've had a daiginjo from Gohyakumangoku. It is not cloying, sweet, light, and dry. It seems to be in the tradition of Niigata's traditional light sake. I also drink Kitayuki's honjozo, but I think it is a cosy sake for everyday drinking, and in general, Kitayuki these days is a safe and sincere sake.

It is a typical nigori sake of Niigata. 21 degrees. The sweetness and richness are intense, but you can't stop. It is endless when you compare it to Niigata's light and dry sake. You can drink as much as you want. It is also a strange sake that does not give you a hangover.

I was surprised that Koshi-tanrei could be this flavorful and mellow. I was surprised that Koshi-tanrei could produce such a deliciously mellow taste. I was aiming for a more light taste, but I was wrong. Sake has also become more difficult.

It is a deliciously mellow sake that tastes a little different from Yamada-Nishiki alone. The aftertaste is also quite continuous and strong, leaving a lasting impression.

I think it is definitely an interesting drink, and not just because of its name. It has an elusive taste, which may be liked or disliked depending on one's taste.

Indescribable sweetness and sake aroma. I didn't know that Kame-no-o could be this sweet. I am happy to see that Niigata sake is doing well. I enjoyed it.
