Acquired through Furusato tax payment, limited label of Sado Ryotsu and Tsukamoto Shoten. Light and dry, with a little rice flavor, acidity and smoothness. It is as good as water. This time I had a glass with yakitori (grilled chicken). It was delicious!

The taste is mild at the beginning, but then the spicy and tasty flavor rushes in and finishes. It gives a strong impression. I have only tried it with sashimi, but I felt it went especially well with red tuna.

I was curious about the -50 sake degree, an area I had not yet experienced, and purchased it at New Chitose Airport. The coloring is lovely, as it is said to be derived from yeast. It was nigori-stained, sweet and sour, and gave the impression of berry-like yogurt. I enjoyed it like a dessert drink after dinner.

It has a mellow rice flavor as if it were fresh, as well as a light acidity and crispness like that of white grapes. I liked it better after taking it out of the refrigerator and letting it sit for a little while, as it broadened the flavor. I was told that it is produced in small quantities, but if I see it again, I would like to repeat the experience. Purchased at Okachimachi Yoshiike

The aroma is subdued, with a slight sweetness on the palate. From there, it slowly shifts to a well-balanced acidity and bitterness, with a refreshing dry finish. The sweetness of the first sip and the dryness of the aftertaste flowed slowly and gently, which was pleasant and delicious. Purchased at New Chitose Airport

Gorgeous aroma with a slight gasiness. After sweetness and acidity like apples and cherries, the flavor of rice can be felt. The aftertaste is refreshing, clean and cool, perfect for summer. After I started drinking it, it was all at once. It was delicious!

Good aroma with melon-like and banana-like fruitiness. In the mouth, the rice flavor and sweetness fill the mouth, and it is delicious. The umami is predominant, and there is a pleasant harmony. The aftertaste is dry and clean, and you will not get tired of drinking it. Sushi from Benkei Sushi Restaurant at Ueno Station and salted salmon from Sanko Salmon Restaurant gave it a Niigata flavor. They went well together.

I drank it for the first time and it is delicious. I felt I didn't need any other words. No wonder it is so popular... It has a slight gaseous taste, and is gorgeous, fruity, sweet, and delicious, with a nice sharpness. I paired it with walnut soba (buckwheat noodles) that I bought in Nagano. It went well with it and was great! Okazaki Sake Brewery, purchased at the store

Refreshing with a characteristic apple-like sweet and sour taste. The acidity is stronger than the sweetness, and there is no astringency. It had the feel of a cider, but the rice flavor gradually spread in the mouth, making you recognize it as sake. I would drink it with boiled sausage, salmon sashimi with a light vinegar drizzle and cheese. I was thinking that a tomato type of sake would definitely go well with it, and soon it was empty. It was delicious. Purchased at Nagano Station, Shinshu Kuraudo

It is sweet, smooth, crisp and easy to drink. It went well with the sweet and savory flavor of the crabmeat. Purchased at the Coop in front of Kutchan Station. On board the Hokuto limited express train.

Drinking at a hotel while traveling. Good, light flavor with no cloying taste. Slightly acidic. My personal favorite combination was ◎: Mukikomai and chawanmushi (steamed egg custard), ◯: Zangi (Japanese pickles). Purchased at Seikoma near Hakodate Station

Brewed in collaboration with Takashi Ogino of the Chiba Lotte baseball team, this sake is made from rice grown at Ogino's parents' home in Asuka Village, Nara Prefecture, and rice grown in Chiba Prefecture, where the baseball team is located. It has a slightly effervescent, bubbly taste, with a slight, refreshing sweetness and umami that runs through. There is a faint bitterness afterward. Easy to drink and delicious. We served it with sardine teriyaki donburi, squid nameko, and salmon cream cheese, which were included in the included recipe. The label is autographed and will be displayed as a keepsake. Purchased from SakeBase online.

As it is a draft sake, it has a rich rice flavor and a clear, refreshing impression, making it easy to drink and delicious. I personally liked the balance of sweetness and umami, and the crispness. I will drink it well chilled with everyday dishes in a little over a week. Kamaboko (fish cake), natto tofu, and barbecued chicken were especially good matches. Purchased at Hasegawa Sake Shop, Gransta Tokyo

I had it with wappa-zen. The combination with the grilled and pickled salmon was also excellent. It was wonderful and matched well with the flavor of the dish. Wappa-meshi at Wappa-meshi Inakaya in Niigata Furumachi

Normally, I drink only the top white and the other white, but after a long time, I decided to go all out and try the Tokusen. The first sip has an apple-like fruitiness, and the smoothness of the mouthfeel, which seems to fit into your body, makes you happy. Purchased at Kichiike, Okachimachi

A little bit of a struggle when opening the bottle, a popping sound and a nice aroma wafting through the air. The mouthfeel is a bit thick and sweet. It is fresh and easy to drink. There is a slight carbonation on the tongue. I'm going to try it with a plain cheese sandwich from Tsuruya and Iburi Gakko cheese on crackers. It seems to go well with cheese. I didn't get tired of drinking it and was able to finish it all at once. Delicious. Purchased at Mikotsuru's store in Shimosuwa. (I want to go back there to taste and buy some more...)

Very characteristic sweetness and acidity. It was the sweetest sake I have ever tasted, and I felt like I was drinking white wine. It could be served by itself, but it is also good with cheese and vanilla ice cream. I was surprised that sake could produce this flavor. It's hard to put into words, but it was delicious and I drank it all up in no time.

Slightly gassy and mellow mouthfeel. The taste is fruity and fresh with a pear-like impression. I like the balance of sweetness, astringency, and acidity. The rest disappears in a whiff. It is easy to drink and delicious! With oysters and maitake mushrooms steamed in sake Purchased at Kururi New Sake Festival at Fujihira Shuzo store
