It is a beautiful, light, dry sake right out of Niigata. I bought it as the last piece in a stamp rally at my favorite sake shop. It has no peculiarities at all, so it is very good as a food sake. It is a delicious sake that goes well with both sashimi and fried food.

This is my first brand of sake. It is a soft junmai sake with a very good taste of rice. I started out with a cold sake, but as it gets a little closer to room temperature, it becomes even softer.

We had Morishima for the first time in a while. This time I chose a sake brewed with Omachi from Morishima. It has a slight spiciness on the tongue, followed by a ricey sensation. I like to drink a bottle of sake so that I can enjoy the taste of the sake slowly.

I first had it cold, but I felt it was a little too strong to drink on a very hot day, so I had it on the rocks. It was a wonder that it was so easy to drink. The crisp taste reminds me of a light Echigo sake. The brewing water is melted snow water from Mt. Thank you very much for the sake.

It is exactly the kind of crisp taste you want to drink in the summer. The alcohol content is high at 18%, so at first I drank it as is, but I felt it was a bit strong, so I drank it on the rocks and it was just right. The owner of the liquor store also said so, so I guess it is true. It was delicious.

This is a sake from Shiga Prefecture that I have not had very often. You first get a sense of the riceiness that comes from the authentic Yamada-Nishiki. It tastes slightly different from the light, refreshing Niigata-style sake that we often get. I first drank it cold, but it tasted sweeter at room temperature. I bought it for the first time at a sake shop in Tsurumi, which seemed like a nice store, but it was quite difficult to find a place to park the car.

Purchased at my first liquor store. It is Shimosueyoshi. It is a really refreshing and clean tasting sake. It has no peculiarities at all and goes well with any snacks. I used to drink a lot of Kuroryu sake at the store, but it is still delicious at home.

This sake is named SAI. It is a junmai ginjo, but when served cold, you first feel the crispness of the sake, and as you swallow it, the flavor of the rice is softly exhaled through the nose. It goes well with oily snacks.

It is a junmai ginjo sake called Amane. It is right in the middle of Niigata's sake. It has a nice sharpness, a gentle taste, a ricey texture, and a beautiful feeling. We are grateful to our relatives in Nagaoka who always send us delicious sake.

It has a standard, refreshing taste. It is stable and tasty, and I finished it right away.

The owner of my favorite liquor store recommended that I purchase this sake by reservation. It is a nama-shu, a nama-hashiroshi, and R4, so it is a bit matured. The first taste on the palate is sweetness, which is different from the sharpness and cleanness. It has a richness that goes well with oily sashimi. It was a really delicious sake. The light acidity was refreshing when I drank it with soda water at the end.

We had it as an emergency appearance without chilling it. It is a junmai ginjo sake made from 100% Yamadanishiki grown in Fukuoka. It is surprising that they grow Yamadanishiki in Fukuoka. At room temperature, it has a gentle mouthfeel and a mellow, ricey feel on the palate. It was a treat.

The mouthfeel has a strong raw taste, with a fruity flavor that passes through to the nose. It is a cold sake because it is made from raw rice, but when it warms up a little in the mouth, it becomes crisp and spicy, giving a strong impression of Niigata sake. The rice polishing ratio is 55%.

It is light fruity and crisp and spicy at the same time. The fruity feeling may be due to the fact that it is a freshly stored sake. I received this sake from a relative in Nagaoka. I am glad because it is a type of sake that is hard to find in my hometown.

Nigori sake has a light sweetness, gorgeousness, and a little bit of a shwashiness. Today's snack was fatty meat, not the usual sashimi, but the crisp taste was very good. When the "shuwashu" feeling disappears, the umami flavor becomes more noticeable.

It is a 100% Omachi sake. It is a well-balanced sake with umami and some sweetness, but it also has a refreshing taste. I don't often come across sake from Kyushu, but I enjoyed it. Perhaps Omachi is better suited to me than Yamadanishiki. 。。。。 But I can't tell from this one.

As it is only a pure sake, it first has a slight acidity, and as the temperature rises a little in the mouth, you can feel the rice flavor. It is a sake with a flavor rather than a beautiful taste. When I used to live in Kansai, my boss at work used to take me to sushi restaurants and let me drink this sake often.

I was told by the owner that it becomes a completely different sake when heated. We first enjoyed it at room temperature and felt the crispness of Yamada-Nishiki. When heated to lukewarm, it became mellow and sweet. Today's entrée was sashimi tuna, but the heated sake went better with it. Sake is delicious today, isn't it? Thank you very much for the sake.

It is a local Kanagawa Prefecture sake brewery. It is delicious, with both the freshness of the unpasteurized sake and the deliciousness of Yamada-Nishiki. Today we enjoyed it with sashimi, but it is also fine with slightly fatty snacks. Made from 100% Awa Yamadanishiki.
