Kamoshibitokuheijiうすにごり 生酒
27
けいけいThe standing aroma is gorgeous but crisp, with a flowery banana type + late citrus fruits such as late citrus. It has a complex flavor, with a full flavor and five distinct tastes. The taste change after opening the bottle is significant even among the nama-shu, and I liked it best right after opening the bottle due to the freshness of the aroma and flavor. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Fusanokangiku羽州誉50 Horizon 純米大吟醸無濾過生原酒
27
けいけいThe initial aroma is of gorgeous tropical fruits. When you drink it, you will feel the round sweetness and umami with a sense of thickening, but you will not feel the persistence due to the acidity and a little bitterness, which is typical of Kangiku. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Purchased at Yamatoya Shuho. Bought it for the New Year's holiday and it exceeded my expectations.

けいけいAuthentic dry Junmai Namaishu The freshness and acidity of the sake's slightly mellow flavor are combined with the freshness and acidity unique to nama-shu, giving it a satisfying taste. The acidity is a little distinctive with a slightly apple-like aroma. Compared to the Kinukan Kuromatsu Kami-Sen that we bought together, it has less graininess and miscellaneous flavors, and is more nicely put together. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ It was good enough for me to empty a small bottle in a day, but for my wife, it has a slightly more sake-like feel of sake, which is not in line with the recent trend. This sake bears the name of the Murashige Shuzo company that brews Kin-kan Kuromatsu. We bought a bottle of the raw sake at a direct sales outlet with an impressive oosugi ball.

Hakkaisan大吟醸
26
けいけいI was worried about Kubota and bought it at a half price sale, and this is my first bottle. When you put it in your mouth, the beautiful aroma spreads quickly, but the taste of koji (malted rice) also spreads without a pause. I had an image of it being light and dry, but I was not sure if it was light or not. I had an impression that it was light and dry, but I was not so sure. I prefer to drink it at room temperature and enjoy the flavor of the rice slowly. I was able to finish the bottle without getting tired of drinking it, which is probably due to the high quality of the sake. I am not sure if I was able to enjoy the original charm of the sake since it seemed to be poorly preserved at the restaurant, but the fact that the price was half of what it should have been made me more than satisfied. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Purchased at Daylink.

けいけいThe blue melon flavor is thinly detectable. Although it is an alcohol-sweetened sake, it gives off a delicate, peppy impression that is hard to detect. It is a clear, dry sake that can be easily matched with any meal. Recommended to be served cold or chilled. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (+⭐️) This is a limited edition sake from a brewery that bears the original trade name "Yoshidaya. Purchased at Mannenkamisha. We have not been able to meet him twice before at the sake festival.

Kirei亀泡
18
けいけいThe color is slightly darker than the other cloudy types. In the mouth, one first senses acidity with a grain-like sweetness. The gasiness is strong, and there is a lingering miscellaneous taste that is typical of low-polished rice. Compared to sparkling wine, it seems a bit tart, as I often drink bruts with low residual sugar content. Perhaps this is due to the fact that many of Hiroshima's local sakes are brewed with soft water, and while there are few with a gaseous taste, I think it is a distinctive feature. However, there are many Kamerei in the lower price range that are dry and easy to drink, so I don't dare to choose this one. ⭐️⭐️ Purchased at Sake Brewery Sumitaya.

月の井純米無濾過 生原酒 ひたち錦
19
けいけいThe taste has a strong umami flavor, as if the extract of rice has been condensed. However, the alcohol content of 20 degrees Celsius is still very strong, and I feel that it enhances the bitterness and bitterness. It was better to drink it at room temperature or above. It has a distinctive taste among the recent sakes I have had. For advanced drinkers. ⭐️⭐️ Purchased at Sake Brewery Sumitaya.

IppakusuiseiPremium 純米大吟醸
20
けいけいThe ginjo aroma has a slight apple-like fruitiness. When you drink it, the light acidity and sweetness spread out, and you can sense the richness typical of jun-dai, but it finishes strongly, so it does not give a heavy impression. It has a classic or royal taste, with a beautiful and round impression. However, it also has a strong strength commensurate with its alcohol content, so I think it would be difficult to recommend to those who like sweet, juicy, and modern tastes. ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Purchased at Yamada Sake Brewery.

Utashiro玉響 生酒
24
けいけいElegant topping aroma with muscat and lychee-type freshness. In the mouth, it is voluminous, but the sweetness is subtle and gaseous, and in the latter half, it is lifted by the acidity, so it does not feel heavy, which is strange. A highly satisfying bottle that makes me want to try another brand next time. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Purchased at Yamatoya Shuho.

宮泉玄武 剣愛山 純米大吟醸
25
けいけいDo you have anything that is hard to buy individually? I asked, and chose from several recommendations at the sake bar. It has a well-balanced sweet and sour taste, more like cherries than peaches. I thought it had a good balance of clarity and three-dimensional flavor complexity, perhaps with just the right amount of bitterness, etc. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I think I had a stupid tongue because it was after all-you-can-drink champon (beer, sake, wine, etc.) at an office drinking party, but it had a different charm from home-drinking, and I have good memories of it. Drinking at a sake bar in Fukuro-machi

Fukucho立春しぼり Biho 純米吟醸生原酒
19
けいけいOpened on the first day. Fresh taste with a muscat-like standing aroma. There is no sense of a lingering aftertaste. I was concerned about the fruity flavor promoted in the advertisement and label design, but the freshly squeezed roughness and acidity were also strongly felt, and I thought they were a little out of sync. I guess I would buy two bottles and enjoy the change in taste when I let it sit for a while, but if that's the case, I would have preferred the regular Shiboritate instead of the Risshun Shiboritate. ⭐️⭐️ Buy at Fresta

AramasaNo.6 R-type 純米生原酒純米生酒
29
けいけいSoft and beautiful. Because it was served in a wine glass, it did not taste like sake. The aroma is peachy, and the acidity is unique to Shinmasa, but it is not as strong as that of Ecru, making it easy to drink. It was like a white wine, but it went well with the soup stock served with it. ⭐️⭐️⭐️+⭐️⭐️ Viridian in terms of taste, but more satisfying considering the added value of the brand.

AkabuSNOW EXTRA 純米酒 生酒 にごり
32
けいけいRoughly speaking, it tastes like muscat juice and not like sake. I personally preferred it mixed with lees after the second day. The gassiness is lighter than expected. The standing aroma has melon and citrus nuances. The body is light and easy to drink. ⭐️⭐️ I got the impression that it was a little out of my strike zone among the Akabusu.

自然酒生酛 燗誂
28
けいけいIt is like a mild apple cider vinegar, and my first impression is that this is much more apple than sake that promotes apple yeast and apples. It tastes great chilled, but I recommend heating it up to give it more sweetness, aroma, and above all, warmth. I prefer it hot rather than lukewarm. Available at ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Buy at Yamada Sake Brewery

Saijotsuru純米吟醸 生原酒
22
けいけいThe sweetness and acidity come in quickly, followed by a rounded rice flavor. The sweetness and acidity are not very fruity, nor are they the same as the syrupy rummy sweetness of Saijotsuru, which I have had in the past. The body is light, but the flavor is well defined. It is not a bad match with food. The low alcohol content (14%) makes it easy to drink without any lingering alcohol taste, and it was finished in no time at all. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Purchased at 7-Eleven in Higashi-Hiroshima

Ugonotsuki大吟醸 櫂
26
けいけいI had a chance to buy it as a commemorative. The standing aroma is melon-like. The aroma alone gives an impression similar to that of Black Moon. When you drink it, it has a delicate sweetness and acidity, with a clear, uncluttered taste. The aftertaste is also very sharp, so you don't feel it's just an aroma sake, but if you drink it cold, it may taste a little light. ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Purchased at Mitsukoshi. Produced by "Oar," a ginjo-shu exploration group.

Taketsuru純米酒
23
けいけいThe color is pale amber rather than lemon. The flavor and richness of the rice is robust and strong. Acidity is not as strong as expected. A light sense of maturity? The balance is exquisite, with no cloying or twisted flavors coming to the fore. I think it's more appealing heated than chilled or at room temperature. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I bought this one after talking with the guy at the store about how I wanted a solid heated sake like Yuho's Yama Oroshi. I was told that it is for advanced drinkers among heated sake. Bought at Yamada Sake Brewery.

ジェイ&ノビィGood evening, Keikei 😃. I just had Yuho's Yamadoroshi yesterday 🤗Yuho's Aka was good cold, but when it gets cold like this 🥶, I really want to relax with some heated sake 🤗.

Suishin純米吟醸生酒
25
けいけいIt has a refreshing ginjo aroma and is gentle on the palate, with a hint of rice flavor in the aftertaste. It is crisp and refreshing, but compared to the previous sake, which had the roughness of new, unfiltered sake well blended, this one is very clean and compact. ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Buy it at 7-Eleven
