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

ずくだせ！信州の日本酒

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

Smooth and full-bodied on the palate, with a sharp, bitter aftertaste. It gives a rich impression. On the way home from the Kururi New Sake Festival, on the Sazanami limited express train. Next time, I would like to try the sake made by the same brewery. The raccoon dog on the label is cute. Purchased at Ezawa Shoten, Kururi

I went to a liquor store in the mood for a sake with a gaseous taste and made an immediate decision after reading the description. As described, it had a nice gaseous taste, and while it was dry, it had a sweet taste of rice. It was refreshing, gentle, and pleasant to drink. Delicious. I served it with yellowtail sashimi and Kazunoko cheese. Purchased at a local liquor store.

From the fresh sweet aroma, it has a rich sweet flavor. The lingering aftertaste slowly fades away, so you could feel the flavor for a long time. It was a perfect match with Shizuoka oden (oden-like dish), which we made based on a recipe from the MAFF website. It seems to go well with stewed dishes. It has been a long time since I have had an Omachi sake, but it was delicious and showed off its characteristics. Purchased at Seibu Ikebukuro, Yamada Sake Brewery

As the blue bottle looks, it is a refreshing sake. The first sip has a sweet taste, but after that it is light, dry, and very refreshing. I would drink it slightly chilled with sashimi. It is of good quality and reasonably priced at about 1,100 yen. Buy it at Marugoto Kochi, Ginza, Tokyo.

It has a strong, rich flavor and is slightly dry. I drank it with boiled firefly squid, as is typical of Toyama sake, but I felt the firefly squid was a little too rich, so I paired it with grilled gyoza (dumplings). The last sake was hot, with a nice aroma. 300ml went fast. Purchased at the Hotel Tateyama store on a trip to Toyama (limited sale)

I thought it was dry, but the acidity was more predominant and characteristic than the dryness. The aroma is like raisins and grapes. The flavor is rich and umami, but at the same time it is very sharp and very tasty. （It is so delicious that it goes well with everything.) With local squid and leatherfish Purchased at Fresh Matsuya Ryotsu store
