It has a gorgeous aroma, the sweetness and umami of rice, and a refreshing acidity that gives it a nice crispness!
It has an elegant taste and can be enjoyed with just one bottle.
I remember that the black-labeled Short-stalked Watarabune had a more robust flavor and was better suited for a mealtime drink...
（I don't remember where I drank it because I don't have a record of it 💦.)
The brewer said that mixing ver. Yamadaho and ver. Short-stalked Watabune tastes good, but I wonder if it is true. I'd like to try it.

It has a subtly fruity aroma, a soft mouthfeel, and a beautiful flavor that spreads gradually without any cloying taste. It is the type that does not interfere with meals. I bought a bottle.

The mouthfeel is soft. It is not too fragrant, but has an alcoholic taste and a strong umami flavor that spreads in the mouth. It has a refreshing acidity and a long aftertaste.

It is fire-roasted but sizzlingly fresh!
It has a fruity aroma like muscat and a gentle mouthfeel. The flavor of the rice is also present, but not too assertive and refreshing. The balance of sourness and bitterness is also good.
Personally, I don't like many hard water sake, but this one is really good!
This is my recent favorite! I want to go to Mie!

I see you read "Goho"..!
Gorgeous fruity aroma! When you put it in your mouth, it doesn't smell that bad, but has a slight umami flavor. There is a lingering aftertaste, but it is beautifully subtracted.

The toji-san is a bicycle enthusiast and envisioned this sake as something he would like to drink after a bike ride.
All of the ingredients are produced in Ibaraki Prefecture, and the sake is brewed with a fresh yeast yeast strain.
It is fruity without being too aromatic, light on the palate, but with a strong umami from the sake yeast! The best balance!
You can drink it smoothly as it is a 14% sake.

New brand "Torai" from Rokka Shuzo, famous for "Jyobari
Mild and fruity aroma, said to be slightly dry, but sweet on the palate!
Soft umami, gentle acidity and a little bitterness.
It has a refreshing aftertaste.
It feels hard, so it might be better to let it sit for a while rather than opening it up.
It is also good to drink hot.
As a challenge to Aomori terroir sake, we used rice and brewing water from the Shirakami Mountains, as well as Shirakami Yeast No. 9 strain and lactic acid bacteria,
Shirakami yeast No. 9 strain" and "lactic acid bacteria" from the Shirakami Mountains are used.
Even the lactic acid bacteria are made in Aomori Prefecture.
The cute label 🐰 features a motif of a wild rabbit that lives in the mountain where the brewery is located.
We wish them all the best in their new challenge ✨.

The staff at the Yamagata booth was so good at making recommendations that I drank several different kinds💦.
This sake is an original brand of junmai daiginjo-shu brewed by Yamagata Prefecture and the prefecture's sake brewers' association, which aims to produce the best sake in Japan by selecting excellent snow goddesses and breweries through an annual contest.
We compared this year's three bottles.
It is very clean and watery, but the umami flavor is also very strong!
