The ginjo aroma is strong, and although it is supposed to be sweet, it is surprisingly dry and easy to pair with food. It is a bit bitter for a special junmai. I guess it is necessary to experience sour, sweet, and bitter in order to get ahead in life. ☹️

This sake is only available at Sake Brewery Ito, a distributor in Yaizu City, Shizuoka Prefecture. First of all, the turtle on the label looks cute, like a hieroglyphic character 🩷. The aroma is very fruity and the mouthfeel is very light. It has a refreshing acidity like that of a pineapple and a pleasant sweetness that is not heavy. I had assumed that sake made with brewing alcohol would have a somewhat unpleasant taste, but I was pleasantly surprised to find that this was not the case. ❗️ Definitely one of the three best honjozo sakes I've ever had 🍶. If this sake is missing from Sake Brewery Ito next weekend, the culprit will probably be me (lol)!

It is rich, full-bodied, and robust, with an impressive fruity sweetness and light acidity. It is delicious on its own, but also goes well with dishes with a slightly strong flavor. It is probably an excellent match with char or yamame (landlocked salmon) in sweetened soy sauce.

You can taste the flavor of rice in its gentle, full flavor. The rice used to make this sake is Nanatsuboshi, a flavor unique to Hokkaido. It seems to be doing well for 1500 yen including tax, but we hope it will continue to do well!

It tastes like a honjozo (pure rice sake). There is no ginjo aroma and the taste has an eginess. The aftertaste is clean and the aftertaste is soft with a little fullness. It is said to be made in Oizumi-cho, Yamanashi with natural water from the Yatsugatake Mountains and sake rice produced in Yamanashi Prefecture, but I would like to see it made with Yamadanishiki. I wish they would try making it with Yamadanishiki, and then it would be clear whether the Yamanashi sake rice was bad or the toji's skill was bad. I feel it can't be helped though, since it is inexpensive at around 1,200 yen for a No. 4 delivery...

The melon ginjo aroma is amazing 🍈. The slightest hint of bubbles is felt, which adds a slight sourness and tightens the taste. The richness of the rice derived from the unfiltered raw sake can also be felt, and the sake is very drinkable. This rare sake is sold at only seven stores in Japan. 1650 yen including tax, not that expensive and good value for money👍.

The taste is so fresh that it is literally like drinking water. The overall impression is thin, and to be honest, a little unsatisfactory.

Sake from Saiki City, Oita Prefecture🍶. Like "Sorin" from Usuki City, Oita Prefecture and "Sentoku" from Nobeoka City, Miyazaki Prefecture, this sake is from a warm region and has a rich, robust flavor. The aftertaste is slightly acidic, with a full-bodied lingering aftertaste that lingers for a long time. The store where we purchased it described it as slightly sweet, but to be honest, we thought it was slightly dry. Based on my experience at Sentoku, I prepared chicken tendon as a side dish, but it was so mellow that the side dish was still too much to compete with it.

Purchased at Kotegawa Sake Brewery in Usuki City, Oita Prefecture. The combination of honjozo and sake was rare, so I bought it without thinking. It tastes like old-fashioned sake, with a strong acidity and amino acid flavor. The brewer told me that unlike Niigata and Yamagata, Oita has mild winters, which makes it difficult to make clear sake. I think it goes better with rich food such as nandoroni than sashimi.

I bought this sake because it was a rarity in Miyazaki Prefecture, a major shochu producer. Perhaps it was the high temperature, but it was the opposite of refreshing, with a strong amino acid content and a strong umami flavor. It has a rich, mellow flavor with a good amount of sourness and sweetness. It is better to be served with a strong flavor like Miyazaki Jidori chicken nanban than sashimi.

It is dry and has a clean aftertaste. Yet, it also has a strong umami flavor. The acidity is moderate. It seems to go well with Kumamoto's horse sashimi ^_^. Purchased at Michi no Eki Aso (Roadside Station), we enjoy this sake while remembering Mt.

Slightly dry but overall neutral taste. The distant umami and citrus aroma are pleasant and very good as a food sake. 🙆🏻 It is nice to see that even in Kyushu, a shochu powerhouse, sake is being made in the good sense of the word: ☺️

Acidity and sweetness are neutral, with a slight citrusy ginjo aroma. The aroma is slightly citrusy with a hint of ginjo, but the taste is still a bit bitter for a junmai sake. Considering the price of 1,150 yen (tax not included), it is a good value as a mid-meal sake.

It has a citrusy acidity on the palate, a slightly full-bodied umami, and a slight sweetness, with a watery aftertaste that cuts through easily. It does not have the clingy sweetness or richness that is often found in nama-shu, but is rather light and dry in taste. Not only is it an excellent food sake, but it also has a high quality for the price of 3,100 yen for a bottle, making it a very cost-effective sake.

Happy New Year 🎍. I paired Isojiman's Junmai Daiginjo Emerald✨ with the New Year's morning festivities. Very fragrant, with a pleasant fruity aroma before drinking. As you drink it, the peachy sweetness spreads and the richness of the rice spreads in the aftertaste. It was a wonderful sake.Â

Very round and full, mild and neutral on the palate. Delicate sweetness from the mouth, moderate taste, and extremely delicate acidity in the aftertaste. Too well-balanced, you may not find it interesting, on the contrary, I drank it with a flounder that I had left to rest for a week and then kombu-marinated, and was able to fully appreciate the flavor of the flounder thanks to the sake's unassertiveness. I would definitely recommend this sake to be served with delicate tasting Japanese food.
