This is the sake I received. It has been a while since I have had Kubota, but it is delicious. It has a subtle sweetness and a refreshing taste without any clutter. It goes well with any pairing.

This year, too, we were fortunate enough to be able to obtain a bottle. The aroma, sweetness, umami, and effervescence are typical of Shinmasa, and this one in particular is a little less sweet and has a clean and refreshing taste without any clutter. We hope to have the opportunity to drink it again next year. Thank you!

We were recommended a sake that was not on the menu. We were told that it is a sake packaged for overseas export. It has no quirks at all. It has a flavor of rice that spreads quickly.

I have been curious about this sake for a long time, but the timing was not right, so this is my first time drinking it. The bottle was opened with no problems, although there was a warning about opening the bottle. The fizziness is not that strong, but at a pleasant level. It has a nice sweetness that goes down your throat easily!

I received this as a souvenir. It is the first sake from Mie. It is a Junmai Daiginjo made entirely from Yamada-Nishiki, so it is very refreshing from the beginning to the end, and the flavor and sweetness of the rice spread out. Delicious!

This is not sake. It is a cider (cider) made by Kikusui Shuzo. I found it at my usual liquor store. It is not too sweet and refreshing. A nice aroma of apples escapes. Delicious!

I met him at his usual store. It is Sentori's Snowman. It has a gorgeous aroma and a sweet taste at the entrance, but it is clean and crisp. Therefore, it is perfect as an in-between-dinner drink. It is delicious.

We got this one at the restaurant as well. The reading, lest we forget, is "Michizakura". It is not pure rice, but it has an aromatic aroma and sweet taste.

We had it at the restaurant. It has an oriki (a yellowish color) and the sake-like taste is overwhelming. The sweetness is firm, with a nice tangy fizziness.

This is Sentori, but this is not sake. It is a cider (hard cider), an apple liquor. I have been following the hard cider craze for a while now, and have been finding and enjoying them, but this time I am posting this one because it was brewed at SENKYO. It has a fresher apple aroma than other ciders, with a strong acidity that follows. It's dry with just the right amount of sweetness! Very crafty, very tasty!

We had it with everyone for a New Year's celebration. We have had Ecru several times, but this time it was the sharpest and hardest tasting wine we have ever had. It was a bit unexpected because of its low sweetness. It was delicious with sushi!

This sake was recommended to us at our usual restaurant. I opened the bottle a little ahead of XMAS. This is the first time for me to drink Akabu, and I am surprised. It is very delicious! It has a firm sweetness and moderate acidity with a clean aftertaste. I would definitely buy it again if I have the chance.

This bottle was opened to commemorate a camping trip with friends. It is a slightly different "Shokkumi" from the Flax Cat we had last year. The acidity is strong and the balance with the sweetness is pleasant. It was a bottle that we thought was delicious after all. If you have a chance, we would like to have this sake.

Long time no. 6, fizziness and juicy sweetness and tartness, still delicious! This time we had it as a celebration with our friends who haven't gotten together in a while!

I bought this bottle at a liquor store I found on my way out of town. I have always been a fan of Kuheiji, but I had a hard time deciding which one to buy because there were so many other Kuheiji brands in the lineup. It is a little tangy and refreshing, just like a Junmai Daiginjo made from Yamadanishiki. It has little fruitiness and is a must have for those who like their sake refreshing!

This sake was introduced to me at the liquor store where I went to obtain Sakiyami. It is slightly golden in color with a strong sweetness. It is a bit thick and has a strong Junmai Daiginjo-style flavor and a very strong umami.

What about a sweet and sour sake with white malted rice? This sake was recommended to us upon request. It has just the right amount of sweetness and acidity, as we discussed. It does not have a fizzy taste, but it is a very good sake. The label also says so, but I mention it just in case there is a Russian problem. The label is not a Z, but a five in Chinese characters!

I happened to come across it at my usual liquor store. This is my first Ten Frog. It is very fizzy and comes with a note to open the bottle. The bottle has a note saying that it should be mixed gently because it has an ooze. This time, I was able to open the bottle after letting it cool down and settle down, so it didn't spurt out and I was able to open the bottle safely. It has a delicious flavor that is typical of Shinmasa, with a strong effervescence and a low alcohol content, which makes it even more refreshing. We just had a birthday party, so everyone was able to enjoy it together. It was very delicious!

This sake was recommended to us at our regular liquor store, because we were sure that we would like it if we liked Shinmasa. It has a gorgeous aroma like Shinmasa. It has a flavor that is claimed to be highly concentrated, and it is very guttural. I was told that there is also a taka that pairs well with this sake, and I would like to try it next time.
