なまころ
I bought it because it was a Junmai Daiginjo sparkling nigori sake, which is rare. The bottle was labeled with a warning to open the bottle (⚠️), so we nervously opened the bottle. First, I drank the top part of the bottle, which was close to the supernatant liquid, and found the sweetness and rich umami that can only be found in nama-shu, which was pleasantly balanced by the acidity, which was not too strong or weak, and the carbonation. However, as with the Meiho Akagi Special Junmai, there was no aftertaste or sharpness, and the impression was that it faded away in the latter half of the bottle. After drinking it for a while, the fullness of the flavor increases and the sense of clarity disappears when the bottle is turned to muddy it. The impression is quite different from the lackluster aftertaste of the "Meiho Akagi Special Junmai" sake, and I found it to be delicious from the first sip to the last.

This is a very rare sake that is sold only at the ropeway🚡 boarding area of Shosenkyo in Yamanashi Prefecture. It is named after the mountain of Shosenkyo, and also after a toji (master brewer) who actually existed and was a great drinker. It was actually bought after climbing this mountain, and it is even more impressive to drink it while looking at the pictures of the climb. ☺️ It has a fruity aroma and sweetness, while the umami and richness of the rice are still strong. The umami of the rice is still very strong, so it seems like it would go well with a side dish of stewed chicken meat, a specialty of Yamanashi. However, it is a little bit too much alcohol, and there is a slight acidic taste. Considering the price of 2,500 yen for a bottle of No. 4, I must say that it is a bit disappointing.

I bought this sake at the direct sales shop adjacent to Fujimi Onsen ♨️ where I stopped on my way back from climbing Mt. The day before, I had been recommended a sake from the Sei Sake Brewery at an izakaya, and my expectations were high because it is a local sake that rarely appears outside of the prefecture. ❗️ Moreover, I was excited to learn that it was made with Hitomebore rice, which is not sake rice, but regular rice. ☺️ ...The taste is very different from regular sake. The mouthfeel is refreshingly sweet like a soft drink, with a slight citrus acidity accompanied by a slight carbonation 🍊. However, there is no sharpness or fullness. It has no umami or volume, so if you pair it with a meal, you will most likely lose. If you are not a fan of sake, you may find it refreshing and easy to drink.

It has a full flavor with a strong umami. The difference from "Akagisan" is that it has a clean aftertaste. The sweetness is moderate. As the unique label suggests, it has a lean taste.

It has a full flavor with a strong umami. It is slightly dry, but has a sweetness that makes it easy to pair with any dish. However, it is not refreshing, so it may be hard to drink by itself.

The palate is very light and fresh, followed immediately by a refreshing sweetness and umami, and finally an acidity that sets the finish. It is very well-balanced, and the characteristics of the clear Hakusan water are well expressed.

Light and slightly dry, with a strong umami flavor and a clean finish. It is a perfect match for fish, as it is only made by Hitakami❗️ fish's umami and sake's umami seem to go well together, and they complement each other without fighting in the mouth. By the way, the fish is a black sea bream that I caught by myself today!

I have an image of drunken whale as a very dry and mellow sake that goes well with bonito, but this sake is less mellow and has a light, dry, elegant finish. As this is a sake from the sacred land of bonito, of course it goes well with red meat fish, and I would definitely pair it with bonito or tuna as a side dish.

It has a slightly carbonated, fruity aroma like green apple🍏 and a freshness like a soft drink. On the other hand, the long-lasting aftertaste, which is slightly cloudy, is different from the aforementioned freshness, with a deep acidity and umami that lasts for a long time, making you want to drink the sake alone slowly without any snacks. It is a great value for money at 1,600 yen without tax.

A slightly heavy, full-bodied sweetness is followed by a light sweetness that is a wonder. The sweet aroma and light taste on the label are true to the description. Thanks to the rare sake rice called tamaei, it seems to have a unique flavor not found anywhere else. It is sold in a wide range of ranks, from regular sake to junmai ginjo, so I would definitely like to try the other ranks.

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.
