It has been a while since I had Otters. Caproic acid ethyl fruit aroma of apples, pears, melon, and Kamishinko. Elegant sweetness and smooth mouthfeel. The acidity is mild and slips smoothly into the mouth. The bitterness is also mild, and the taste is gentle and mainly fruit aroma. However, it was paired with Szechuan cuisine! I was surprised at how well it matched with this dish. I thought it might be too spicy like Szechuan food, but it is indeed a Japanese wine. I thought it might be defeated by something spicy like Szechuan food, but as one would expect from a Japanese sake, it has a wide range of acceptability. It has a wide range of acceptability.

The aroma, while mild, has a characteristic aroma of yogurt, cream, and other fresh herbal ingredients. However, it is very clear and has a fruity aroma of melon and banana. However, I had a limited edition of Jyushiyo after this, so I had too strong an impression of that one ^^; Moreover, I forgot to take a picture of that one (I cried).

It is said to be a variety of rice called "Ko-Shinko", but I have never heard of it before! The aroma is a classic ginjo aroma reminiscent of vinegar-iso banana or melon. Along with its mild sweetness, it has a pleasantly petit texture, like an adult ramune!

The aroma is of calmly cooked rice and dairy products such as yogurt. The mouthfeel is robust, as is typical of the original sake, but it has a refreshing sweetness and smooth acidity, making it surprisingly easy to drink. It is not spectacular, but it is a delicious sake that will keep you coming back for more.

It seems to be read as "jokon". It seems to be a more concentrated version of aged sake. It has an amber color like Shaoxing sake. The aroma is of soy sauce, tortoiseshell candy, smoke, and shiitake mushrooms like Shaoxing sake, with a fresh aroma like sake. The attack is strong and the texture is smooth. The alcohol content of 38ºC is comparable to that of whiskey, but it is less harsh and has a sweetness that makes it easy to drink. Unlike Shaoxing wine, the acidity is present. When water is added, it becomes more like Shaoxing wine. The aftertaste is slightly sulfuric. It is quite an interesting sake.

Limited edition of Eiko Fuji. Crystal silver in color. The aroma is of apples, pears, bananas, melon, pineapple, and other plentiful fruits. In the mouth, there is a surprisingly strong acidity along with a mild sweetness. There is a good balance between sweetness and acidity, as well as caproic acid ethyl-like sweet flavors, with a full-bodied bitterness in the finish. I heard it is a very limited edition, but I got it at Kakuyasu. It is quite tasty.

Pale topaz with a slight yellow tinge. The nose is dense fruit of melon, banana and apple, cooked rice and lime. There are soft cream and white mushrooms. As the temperature rises, the aroma is faintly soy sauce and mirin. The ginjo aroma stands out, but there is not much of a scraping feeling. The mouthfeel is sweet and the acidity is smooth. The ginjo aroma spreads in the mouth, and a slightly strong bitterness tightens the aftertaste. The rice polishing ratio is 89%. It is cosmetically pleasing at around 1,600 yen.

Clear crystal silver color. Tropical aromas of banana, apple and lychee, with a bitter grapefruit note. Along with the mild sweetness, there is a pleasant, slightly petit, and mildly bitter aftertaste that is hidden by the sweetness. It has been a long time since I have had HANAHOYAKU, but it is delicious!

Crystal silver color. Acacia-like florality with fruits such as apples, melons, bananas and muscats. Limey minerality, chervil, jyoshinko, and white dumplings. Attack slightly strong. Mildly sweet, with pleasant flavors of yellow apple and banana. On the other hand, the acidity is firm with a pleasantly lingering bitterness. Is it a little unusual that it even mentions the yeast? I've seen it a little bit recently. It is delicious.

Drank blind, I couldn't tell it was Tengumai. It does not seem to be of the nama yeast type. The aroma is of melon, banana, and isoamyl acetate. It has an elegant sweetness and relatively firm acidity. However, it does not have a Yamahai feel, and gives a very clean impression.

This brewery is famous for its Kimmiya shochu. It has a clear, slightly pale yellow-crystal color. The aroma is fruit-forward, with honey apple, pear, melon, banana, and an elegant rice aroma like joshinko there. The ethyl caproate aroma is well pronounced. The mouthfeel is smooth, with a mild, elegant sweetness, and the acidity is smooth. Due to the fruit flavor, the sweetness extends beyond the actual sweetness, and a pleasant full-bodied bitterness finishes the palate through the aftertaste. Delicious. It is a sake that can be enjoyed well on its own. Incidentally, it seems to be a 2022 Klamaster Gold Award winner and a 2022 Gold Award winner of the Delicious Sake in a Wineglass Award. I always drink it in an INAO tasting glass, which gives a good spread of aroma, so I could understand its goodness.

Crystal silver with transparency. Melon and banana with a faint bitter aroma of grapefruit and cooked rice. There are green nuances such as young leaves, and lactic notes of fresh cream and yogurt. The mouthfeel is rather light, with a hint of sweetness and a firm acidity. The taste is smooth, as is typical of Gohyakumangoku, but a slightly strong bitterness lingers in the aftertaste. It would be more full-bodied if it were slightly warmed.

It has a rather classic taste, not glamorous, and suitable for a mealtime sake. It may be served heated. The aftertaste is full-bodied and bitter. Not very distinctive.
