It was brewed in 2023, so it must have been aged for a while. If you drink it at room temperature, the umami flavor comes to the fore rather than the acidity.

We have applied for and won the lottery for the Kamisuwa Gozo. Thank you very much. It is dry as indicated on the label, but since it was served at room temperature, I could feel the deliciousness of Miyamanishiki rice.

It is a slightly cloudy, spicy, slightly acidic sparkling wine. It does not have a strong sparkling taste, but you can enjoy the fine bubbles. My wife said it was a sake aimed to be exported to overseas.

I first drank it cold (room temperature). It has a light sourness and crispness, and I think it would be good to drink it with a meal. I think it will be more refreshing if it is served cold. I left it unfinished today and will drink it cold next time. I think it has a nice crispness with a hint of acidity when served cold.

At first, drinking it at room temperature, you can feel the sweetness of the rice and the richness of the Yamahai. But as it warmed up to lukewarm, the acidity and deliciousness increased. Purchased on a tour of five breweries in Suwa, we realized that Yamahai goes well with heated sake. It was warm outside today, but we bought some delicious sashimi to enjoy with the heated sake. Thank you very much for the sake.

In the mouth, there is a light acidity and a slight tanginess. The color is a little cloudy, probably because it is orikagara. Yamada-Nishiki, Junmai, Orikarami, and Nama-no-Mara sake are all brands, but the taste is unbeatable.

This sake was given to me by a relative in Nagaoka, and is a little bit strong at 19 degrees Celsius, so it tastes a little tangy in the mouth at first, but it has more than enough flavor and acidity to keep you drinking it. The sake is made from 100% Niigata sake, but that is to be expected from a Niigata sake brewery.

I purchased this sake after tasting it at Masumi's Kamisuwa Sake Brewery. It was chosen from among many varieties of sake, so it is really both beautiful and tasty. It is a luxurious time to visit the place where sake is brewed, buy sake from there, and enjoy it at home. Every time I take a sip, I am reminded of that fun and fresh air.

It is sake as it is squeezed. It has an unusual taste with moderate acidity and sweetness spreading in the mouth at the same time, followed by a slightly tingling sensation. I enjoyed the yellowish color of the sake as it was served in a white sake cup.

We had this at a hot spring hotel in Norikura. It is crisp and dry and goes well with any meal. It is especially good with wild vegetables from Shinshu and grilled sweetfish.

This is the first bottle I bought at Kamisuwa Gokura. It has a good freshly squeezed flavor and freshness. It is fun to drink sake bought at the brewery because it brings back memories of that time as well as the flavor. The package is also beautiful, just like a princess. Thank you for the sake.

As one would expect from a freshly squeezed, unpasteurized sake, it has a bubbly sensation when the bottle is opened and is still tangy in the mouth. It is mellow and refreshing at the same time, and I think it goes well with sashimi, meat, vegetables, and all kinds of snacks. But I think the most distinctive feature of this wine is its gorgeousness. As expected from a one-sho bottle, it was a treat to taste a little sourness and sweetness of the rice after a few days. When you put it in your mouth, you can smell the gorgeous aroma. It has a good balance of a refreshing and ricey taste. My personal feeling is that Gohyakumangoku sake is not cloying and has just the right amount of spiciness and flavor. Sake from Kyushu is not bad.

It is a new sake with a refreshing taste that goes well with New Year's dishes. It is a light and dry sake straight from Niigata. I received this sake from a relative in Nagaoka and enjoyed it during the New Year's holidays.

Because it is freshly squeezed, it has a strong sour taste. My first job was in Osaka, so I learned this brand from a senior colleague. It becomes a little milder at room temperature, but the acidity, sharpness, and spiciness remain the same, making it a sake for connoisseurs. I think it goes well with seafood dishes.

In the mouth, you will first taste the sweet taste of rice. After that, a gorgeous ginjo taste spreads in the mouth. It is a delicious sake with a slightly different feel from the light, dry Niigata-style sake.

It is a little crisp in the mouth, but as the temperature rises a little in the mouth, you can feel the light mellowness of Junmai Ginjo. Today's sashimi was makogarei (flatfish) and tuna medium fatty tuna, followed by a chicken hot pot, but I felt it went better with sashimi.

I received this from a relative in Nagaoka. The taste is a combination of freshness and sourness. It tastes more sour than the usual Hakkaisan. It went well with today's crispy nabe.

I bought this sake because I wanted a sake to go with a good beef steak. When you put it in your mouth, you first feel the sourness. The spiciness and sourness are better than sweetness to enjoy with a meal.

It is crisp and dry, but not too dry, and has the flavor of a Junmai Daiginjo. It is a sake from Nagano, but in a sense, it gives the impression of being a sake that would be brewed in Niigata Prefecture. The owner told us that it goes well with meals, and we immediately enjoyed it with our evening drinks. It certainly does not interfere with sashimi or meat, and the sake goes well with both.
