なまころ
It tastes like old-fashioned sake. It has a lot of amino acids and umami, but there is nothing refreshing about it.
It also has a slightly bitter taste, which I personally do not like.

なまころ
As is typical of dry Hidakami, it is refreshingly dry, but also has a strong umami flavor, which I feel is the difference between it and the ultra-hot sake.
There is no ginjo aroma or harshness, making it the perfect sake to pair with food.
Naturally, it goes perfectly with sushi. Unlike the Sushi Prince, or Super-Salty Sake, it can be drunk on its own, but it is still a sake that should be paired with fish as a mealtime sake.

なまころ
As is typical of Hakkaisan, it has a clean taste with a full-bodied, umami flavor. According to the owner of a sushi restaurant, it is a sake that somehow does not change its taste much even when drunk on the rocks, and that is certainly the impression I got. I think it tastes better on the rocks, or perhaps it tastes more refreshing and tasty when chilled.
Cool and tasty, perfect with sushi👌.

なまころ
The sweetness is firm but not overly sweet, and the melon-like ginjo aroma is pleasantly balanced thanks to the subtle acidity that supports it.
A sake with a high degree of perfection that everyone will find delicious.
Good with sushi. ❤️

なまころ
The taste is round and refreshing.
The aroma is slightly reminiscent of citrus 🍊.
I think it's a little bit bitter, but that's not a problem.
It was sold at a supermarket for about 1600 yen, but it was a good buy.

なまころ
Pleasant citrus acidity and elegant sweetness.
The acidity is slightly acidic, but not spicy and elegant. The aftertaste is very long and the aroma lingers in the mouth for a long time.
The impression is that it is a very elegant sake, like something you would get at an expensive sushi restaurant.
It tastes more like a junmai ginjo than a special junmai.
Delicious👍but not enough for me personally.

なまころ
It has a melon-like ginjo aroma and a slight citrus-like acidity.
It has a very full flavor, which gives the impression of being made from 100% Okushiri rice and 100% Okushiri water.
I bought it as a souvenir at Seicomart when I visited Okushiri Island on a trip, and I was right👍.
At just over 1600 yen for a 4-pack, it's not that cosmetically pleasing, but it's a must-buy in the sense that you can feel the terroir of Okushiri Island 😉.

なまころ
Slightly dry, with a high amino acid content.
It is a traditional sake brewery that seems to be concerned with the traditional method of making sake, and it is dry to match fish, as the prefecture is facing the sea.
I was advised by the young master of the sake shop that if I served sashimi as a side dish, it would lose to the sake, so I should have it boiled or something. ❗️
The sashimi was served with vinegar, but it still lost out to the other entrée, betara-zuke, which tasted just right.
Japanese>English
なまころ
The taste is dry but with a slight fruity sweetness.
The overall taste is mellow and slightly rich. It is the opposite of "crisp and dry.
If you drink it with fish, it would be better with well-seasoned boiled fish than with sashimi or grilled fish.

なまころ
I bought this sake because I read in some article that it is the best match for sushi. The price was 1,200 yen (tax not included).
Despite its claim to be "super dry," it is actually not at all dry, but rather has a neutral taste with a hint of sweetness.
I paired it with a bowl of rice topped with seafood instead of sushi, and I found it to be a good partner that complemented the flavor of the fish and went well with the sushi rice.
It was a good purchase at a reasonable price.

なまころ
It is a slightly dry sake that is neither good nor bad.
It has a flavor that is unique in its lack of individuality, with no special rice flavor or sharp acidity.
It has a flavor that is unique in that it has no individuality. It has a relatively low price of 1,441 yen including tax, so it is perfect for when you want to have a glass of sake today, but don't feel like drinking it in a single cup.
Also, there are not many sake breweries in Osaka, so if you want to drink Osaka's sake, this may be an obvious choice.

Balanced acidity and sweetness
Neutral taste, suitable for all tastes. Easy to match with any dishes.

The moment you feel the umami of rice, you will feel the fresh acidity reminiscent of citrus fruits, a taste that reminds you of summer.
It is best to drink it on a humid rainy season day like today with a summer-seasoned appetizer. ☀️

なまころ
This sake is from Kagoshima, which is a bit unusual.
I had a bad experience with Okinawan sake before, so I honestly did not have high expectations for sake from a tropical country, but I was pleasantly surprised to find that it has a good balance of rice flavor and sweetness with acidity, making it a good food sake👍.
It is sold at the store in the departure lobby of Kagoshima Airport, so if you are traveling, please try it as a topic of conversation!

なまころ
Unusually for an unfiltered, unpasteurized sake, a firm lychee acidity is firmly present in the mouthfeel, complementing the sweetness and richness of the rice.
A well-balanced sake with both spiciness and sweetness.
Excellent with char with sweet soybean paste 😍.
Japanese>English
なまころ
The mouthfeel is gentle and smooth, but gradually the sweetness and umami of the rice expands.
The taste is full and rich, but not too sweet, with a hint of lychee-like acidity that disappears at the end.
It is said to have won the highest gold medal at the Wineglass Sake Awards, and this robustness is sure to be delicious no matter what you drink it with!

なまころ
In addition to the sweetness of the rice characteristic of nama-shu, it has a fresh acidity reminiscent of orange 🍊 and a slight richness that lingers in the aftertaste, which is characteristic of light nigori sake.
It is a very enjoyable sake to drink on its own, without any other accompaniments. If you want to drink it with a meal, it would be better with something light in flavor.
It is not well known, but I highly recommend it.
Japanese>English
なまころ
I had it bottled on the spot at a brewery event.
I can fully enjoy the sake's flavor and sweetness, there is a slight aftertaste of eginess, but I can't quite discern whether it is original or due to not cooling it in a cooler box when I brought it home.
Cost is 1400 yen including tax, so it is not bad cosmetically.
Japanese>English
なまころ
It has a strong acidity on the palate, with a calm and mellow flavor characteristic of Sogen, and finishes with a light finish characteristic of hiyaoroshi.
It has a robust drinking experience that will appeal to sake lovers, and is easy to pair with dishes that have a strong flavor.
