It does not have a juicy feeling, but it has the sweetness of green melon, a heavy acidity with a dark umami, and then a strong bitterness that finishes with a sharp taste.

100% Hashu Honor produced in Yamagata Prefecture
It has been a long time since I posted this. I was in a situation where I couldn't wait to upload it, but I don't care anymore, so I'll do it again.
This is the first time I have heard of this sake rice called Hashu Homare. A sweet, juicy, ripe melon. Moderate acidity, moderate bitterness. The smooth sweetness makes it easy to drink.

A juicy mouthfeel. It has a sourness, but also a silky blue melon sweetness. It finishes with a sharp pungency. It has a slight cemedine taste at first, but as time goes by, the cemedine taste disappears and it changes from freshness to mellowness.

It feels "heavy" the moment it enters the mouth. The sweetness has a heavy sensation, and the sharpness has a very strong bitterness. It has a rich, dry taste.

Toshimaya Sake Brewery in Yamori. Purchased at the Toyo Market held in Toyosu (they also hold the market on Saturdays and Sundays). Purchased because it is only sold at the brewery's store. It has a juicy mouthfeel, a bit of banana flavor, and then a sudden surge of spiciness with sweetness, and it finishes with a solid thickness. It is pungent, but not bad at all.

Only Yamadanishiki produced by Kushira in Shinomine is used. It has a juicy mouthfeel with the melting sweetness of ripe fruit, and the umami is so great that one would expect it to be bitter and pungent as well, but it is so smooth and refreshing. It is thick yet silky and delicious. I drank it at a corner store while my child was waiting for an exam and bought it immediately because it was so good. I am a terrible parent.

The description said it was dry, but since it is a nama sake, I wondered what it would be like. It has a fruity sweetness that is typical of nama-zake, but it also has a sharp spiciness that gradually rises to the top, and then it finishes crisp and clear like water. It may be common, but when it is cold, the sweetness is strong, and when it gets close to room temperature, the spiciness becomes dominant.

It has a juicy mouthfeel with a banana-like sweetness. It flows smoothly with a tingling sensation and finishes with a sharp spiciness. The guy at the bar yesterday said that Kangiku is brewed to be like Eiko Fuji. He said, "It's light and trendy these days," but I guess that's just how I like it.

100% Miyamanishiki produced in Akita Prefecture
I managed to get a bottle of this sake at Morioka station, which was the most delicious when I compared them at the hotel on my trip to Iwate, and which I had never seen in Tokyo (or maybe I had overlooked it). It has a fluffy pear-like sweetness. It has a refreshingly cool taste, which gradually turns pungent and sharp. It is very light, but has a refreshing sweetness and a refreshing finish. It was amazingly delicious. How can four brewers make such a delicious sake? Amazing.

I went camping in Nagano. I went to Tsuruya to buy sake for camping. I also wanted to drink sake, so I bought Tsuruya's original Masumi.
Light sweetness of rice. It smelled like loquat. Very light sweetness flows through and finishes with a slight bitterness. Very light. The alcohol content of 13% makes it easy to drink without being spicy or sour while retaining the sweetness and umami.
However, I drank too much of other sake when camping, so I took it home and enjoyed it to the fullest at home.

I've had light nigori before, but this may be my first real nigori. It is very thick and thick. It is like doburoku or makgeolli. It is similar to makgeolli in sensation. The sweetness is there, but the spiciness is sharp and sharp. However, the texture is more dominant than the taste. is dominant.

This is definitely a good one!
This is a Junmai Daiginjo, a light nigori unfiltered unpasteurized sake from Kangiku.
The bottle is slightly effervescent, so the cork flies open when the bottle is opened. After the melon-like sweetness, the acidity with umami rises rapidly. The final taste is a crisp bitterness. It is light and light with a slight sparkle, so it is easy to drink.

100% Hakutsuru-Nishiki
Sweet juices of ripe melon. The melon is almost blue. The sourness comes out slowly and smoothly, and it finishes with a moderate bitterness. The sweetness, acidity, and bitterness are well balanced. The bitterness is a little strong.
Since joining Corona, I have been drinking at home more and wanted to have a good sake, so I found a great liquor store in my neighborhood and checked in for 300.
