Purchased at Matsuyama station and had it on the express train with jakoten and chikuwa as snacks. It was refreshing and easy to drink, with little alcohol content. (The Yosan Line was quite bumpy, and I was worried that it might spill.)

On a trip to Matsuyama The first Ehime sake, served cold with oden. The first thing you notice when it arrives is the gorgeous aroma. The taste is rich in rice flavor and smooth on the tongue. Personally, I felt it was not so dry. The aftertaste was so sharp that I was out of sake before I had finished the oden and had to have another one. It was a delicious and gentle sake.

A gift from an acquaintance in Nagano. It has a mild taste with a strong rice flavor. It is better at room temperature than cold. It is a good sake that can be drunk easily.

Fruity aroma like gorgeous pear. Soft on the palate, with rich rice flavor and sweetness. It has a slightly bitter taste with a dry aftertaste. White and red meat sashimi and cheese-based snacks are my personal best matches. It also goes well with cheesecake after dinner.

Fruity and clean taste. The spiciness is not that strong, and the umami and sweetness are firm and crisp. It is soft and gentle, and I would recommend it to people who are not used to drinking sake. It was quite to my personal liking!

At first sip, a slight carbonation. A bit of sweetness and a fruity, mild taste. Personally, I didn't find it too dry. The aftertaste is refreshing and pleasant. Maybe you would like something refreshing as a side dish? It went well with white fish sashimi with lemon.

Serve it cold. The first sip brings the umami of the rice, and it has a nice sharpness. It is easy to drink with rich umami and sweetness rather than spiciness, It was easy to drink and mellow. As the name suggests, it went well with sea bream sashimi 👌. I also enjoyed it with Chinese stir-fry with green pepper and cheese. It is a good food wine. The logo of the sea bream on the whirlpool is cool! Purchased at Tokushima station souvenir shop.

A gift. It is served chilled after being thoroughly chilled in advance. It is refreshingly smooth and dry, but has a fruity sweetness. It was so delicious that it was gone in no time. Served with sushi from Benkei. It's the best.

Serve it cold. When you take a sip, you can feel the sweetness of the rice. There is a slight carbonation. The rich umami comes later, but the aftertaste is refreshing. I have never had a sweet sake before, so this was a new discovery for me.

With oden on a night in Kokubuncho. It tasted light and refreshing from start to finish. The aroma and the sweetness of the rice are not strong, and it blended well with the food, making it a good sake as a mealtime drink. Oden and Sake at Saito

It is soft on the palate, with the umami and sweetness of the rice coming first. Drank cold, it is mildly spicy. It has a characteristic bitterness at the end. It seems to go well with strong dishes. After a few days, the bitterness became weaker and the taste mellowed. This was delicious. Purchased at Fresh Matsuya Sawada store.

Fresh fruity aroma upon opening the bottle. Soft on the palate, with a slight carbonation. The sweetness and umami of the rice can be felt clearly, and it is crisp and easy to drink. It seems to go well with everything. After a few days, the gassiness is gone and it becomes even softer on the palate. One of the best sake for me personally. Purchased at Hasegawa Sake Shop Kameido

On the way back from Matsumoto, on the limited express Azusa. It has a sweet apple-like aroma and a light, refreshing taste. It was a delicious sake that made us feel that a single-bottle bottle was not enough.

I had to go to Kofu and bought it at the station on my way home. I chilled it in the refrigerator before serving. It has a nice aroma and a sweet, dry taste with a slight bitterness afterward. Personally, I thought it went well with cheese.

I bought a limited number of bottles at Yoshiike in Okachimachi without hesitation. When I was in Niigata, I used to drink it with natto tempura and dried squid at Yoshihan in Nishi-ku. This time, I drank it cold with deep-fried tofu from Tochio (with natto), boiled firefly squid, and sashimi of amberjack. It has a soft, watery mouthfeel, with a strong flavor but with a good sharpness. I think it is a sake that can be paired with anything.

Purchased at Yoshiike, Okachimachi. It has a soft mouthfeel with a hint of sweetness from the rice. The aftertaste is refreshing, making it very easy to drink. The combination with sashimi of squid and sea bream was good, and it was stable and tasty.
