Dewa Tsanzan Polishing Rice 40
I remember that this was delicious. It was slightly sweet, aromatic and easy to drink. I would like to drink this series again.
Homegrown Yamadanishiki rice, 35% polished rice
Frankly speaking, it tastes beautiful and elegant. It is light.
The flavor of the rice is strong. There is not much sweetness.
It is a stylish sake.
Omachi 50% polished rice
When cold, the aroma is like that of a pineapple, and the aftertaste is slightly refreshing. The sweetness is restrained. As the temperature rises, the bitterness and astringency become stronger.
Yumesansui Polishing rice 30%.
I was looking forward to drinking this sake when it finally opened. It's always good no matter how many times I drink it. I really like this sake.
Smooth on the palate, with a pineapple-like flavor and the sweetness and umami of the rice. It has a slight bitterness, but I personally like the gentle aftertaste at the end.
Sake Mirai 50% polished rice
Slightly fizzy. It is refreshing but has a strong rice flavor. The citrus aroma is refreshing. It is better when the temperature is a little higher than when it is cold. This is my favorite type. I can drink it easily.
The sweetness is slightly stronger and more pronounced. I like it a little airier than the first hit of opening.
The aftertaste is clean but not at all lonely because of the initial punch.
Yamadanishiki, Sha District, Hyogo Prefecture, 40% polished rice
I had this sake while remembering the Arashiri Oshikiri merger, but I guess I didn't have the palate to tell the clear difference.
An easy-drinking sake with a sweetness and gorgeousness that is not too assertive.
Unfiltered, raw sake, 50% Omachi from Akaban, polished rice
The punchy label gives the sake a punchy taste. The first sip is quite strong and interesting. It gradually mellows out as it comes into contact with air. The flavor of Omachi is good. The flavor is pineapple.
This is my second Tobiroki, but the last time was my first since I was inexperienced with sake. It has a fresh mouthfeel with a green apple-like flavor. The main taste is more rice flavor and astringency than aroma. It is spicy. The aftertaste is also strong. Not quite to my taste, but certainly delicious.

The umami of the rice is stronger than the aroma. The lingering finish is crisp and refreshing, with a hint of a tang.

As soon as you open it, oh! Kyoho flavors! It is very interesting. As it comes into contact with air, its beauty becomes more and more pronounced. It is good, but too beautiful. The aftertaste is strong. Personally, I prefer something with a little more character.

I like the smell when I open it. The aroma and sharpness combined with a slight fizziness make it a winner. The aftertaste is refreshing. It has all the goodness of unfiltered unpasteurized sake.
Domestic rice, 35% polished
More refreshing than expected. I thought it would be more mellow. But it tastes good as usual. The clarity is high. I had it with sashimi and it was a good match.

Good crescendo from a gentle mouthfeel! Not a very deep taste, but beautiful and astringent. Definitely overpriced.

This is outstandingly delicious. The moment you put it in your mouth, the sweetness spreads, followed by a moderate aroma that escapes through your nose. Finally, there is a beautiful taste of rice. There is also a gentle thickening, which I like a lot.
How many times have I said "this is so good" while drinking it?
