While strolling around Solamachi in Skytree to buy a Mother's Day present with my children, I spotted Hasegawa Sake Shop and bought a bottle of akabu, despite being chided by my children that today was not your Mother's Day. Of course, I didn't open the bottle until after Mother's Day, but the sweet rice flavor spread gently with a pleasant taste. I thought it would be more crisp than the name implied, but it is delicious in its own way.

This is a series of sake tasting sessions to compare the same conditions other than the rice used for the sake. The rice for April is Hoshiakari. It is sharp and dry. It is crisp and refreshing, which is good for this season, which is gradually becoming hotter and hotter. The aroma that spreads to the nose when you take a sip is nice, but it seems to quickly fade away and the umami of the rice remains impressive. It tastes somewhat clean and cool. I've been trying fruity, sweet, easy-drinking ones lately, so this is one of them.

I happened to see a local liquor store on my way out of town, and I stopped by and found a bottle of ocean ninty nine by Kangiku Meikozo, which I had been wanting to try. It was a hot day, and I was tickled by the clerk's words, "It is recommended on such a day," so I bought it without hesitation. When I opened the bottle, I heard a fizzing sound, and the taste was fruity and refreshing, which certainly explains why it was named "Sorouumi. It is perfect for the coming season. This is a perfect match for the coming season.

Purchased at Ricer Jack Haradaya in Ichikawa Station. Although I live in Chiba, I had never heard of Chiba sake, so here it is. We had it with bamboo shoots, a spring gift from our neighbor, as a side dish. The aroma was fresh, and the rice flavor came first with a nice crispness! The aroma is refreshing and the rice flavor comes first with a crispness, and then the complex fermentation flavor spreads later as the aroma passes through the nose. I am a sake beginner🔰 with little experience, so I don't have the same vocabulary as you, and I can't describe it well, but it has a deeper taste than the fruity ones. I like this one too.

Immediately after paying homage to the only shrine I had not visited on my tour of the three shrines in the eastern part of Japan, I saw a sign for "Yamanaka Store of All Japan Sake" and was drawn to the store. I was so impressed with the selection that I bought a bottle of "Kunoshinin Kuheiji," a sake I had never tried before. It was fruity but light, with no sweetness left on the tongue. This is delicious. It is said that the breath shrine is a shrine that connects people with each other. Now that I have learned to visit shrines and drink sake, my trips and business trips have become three times more enjoyable.

On a business trip to Sendai some time ago, I bought some as a souvenir for myself at Mutoya, a liquor store in Sendai Station. I thought it would be fun to have a drink at the stand bar inside the store, but I felt guilty about drinking after 3:00 p.m., even though it was a business trip. As I was looking around for something to buy, I overheard a young couple next to me saying, "Who doesn't love cotton stores? The sweetness was thick, with plenty of presence, and had a Japanese-style confectionary-like atmosphere. Unlike fruit sweetness, there is no sourness at all. It seems to go well with teriyaki or sweet and spicy snacks!

Purchased at Hasegawa Sake Shop in Tokyo Station. This is my first Sentori. A very fresh, slightly sweet and refreshing aroma comes in first, with a slight carbonation in the mouth. It has a clear, dry, apple-like sweetness. It is also delicious! But sake really has a wide range of flavors. I wonder what kind of food this would go well with. I would like to try it with various foods!

ImpressionsIt looks very tasty! It looks like it would go well with something a little lighter and saltier than a solidly seasoned dish! I thought of spring rolls or beef noodle 🤔 lol

Thanks for your comment! I feel like it would be a shame if it tastes too strong. It certainly would go well with spring rolls, beef noodle, etc 😊.

My wife and child are home for spring break, so I'm drinking alone. I'm drinking it with a side dish of yellowtail I bought at Saku, and it has a very fruity, mildly sweet flavor. It's a bit strong in sweetness, so I'll have to see what I can pair it with.

I bought this for a quick drink while on a business trip to Hiroshima. It was smooth, watery, and had no peculiar taste at all. I guess this is the reason why Maboroshi is called "Maboroshi.

Recently, I've become a sake connoisseur and have been experimenting with a variety of sake. Today I got a bottle of Tazake Special Junmai Sake. I really appreciate the fact that I can buy it by mail order. The first sip of Tasake was the Yamahai brewed version, and while the first taste is similar, the Yamahai has a second level of depth of aroma and taste that spreads out three-dimensionally after the first sip, while the Tasake has a more full and lingering taste. This is delicious in its own way. It's so much fun.

Finally! This is the first time I've had it, and I have to say, I'm convinced of its taste. It has a mellow aroma, a full-bodied, sweet taste, but it goes down smoothly and easily.

This is the first time I tried it, and while it's not bad, I felt that it doesn't have that much personality to be worth mentioning. I have an amateur tongue, so please forgive me.
