ZIMA
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!

ZIMA
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!

Kamoshibitokuheiji黒田庄内に生まれて、純米大吟醸

ZIMA
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 recommended to me at my usual restaurant. Slightly effervescent, with just the right amount of refreshing sweetness, and a very nice aroma on the nose! It is similar to Shinmasa. It is very tasty!

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!

ZIMA
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!

ZIMA
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.

This is the sake I received. Very refreshing. There is a slight feeling that it is not junmai (pure rice), but it is delicious. You can drink it in gulps!

This is one that a friend brought me. This may be the first time I have tasted Hiroshima sake. It has a deep, clean, aromatic taste that lives up to its daiginjo name. It is delicious!

The other day, I bought a bottle of Junmai by mistake. The Junmai I bought by mistake the other day was also delicious, but once again I took my revenge with a royal road, brewed sake. It was as good as I expected, with a fresh, crisp taste and just the right amount of sweetness.

I got on a roll and went for a third bottle. This one is a very different sake, with a sour taste. I think it is one of the most refreshing and less sweet sake in the Niimasa lineup. Delicious!

Today my friend brought me this sake. The last time we had this sake, it was served at Bon and on a government plane, but this time it is GOLD. This time it was GOLD. It has a very strong umami flavor and is as delicious as a Junmai Daiginjo made from Yamadanishiki without any cloying taste.

I had been wanting to drink a bottle of Masamune, and I found it when I wandered by a liquor store on my way out of town. Not knowing that the royal road was actually in brewed sake, I selected the Junmai. It tasted just as I expected, refreshing, piquant, moderately sweet, and delicious. Next time, I would like to try the Oomichi.
