Very fruity and easy to drink. The first sip goes into the mouth without any habits like water, and the sweet and sour aroma spreads in the mouth. It is easy to drink, although it has a slight tang. There is no habit.

The first sip has a strong aroma and a sharp taste on the nose, but the aftertaste is very refreshing. It is like a typical Japanese sake. It also makes your throat feel hot, but it's very refreshing and tasty.

Shotoku冬の酒 活性にごり

I bought a bottle of "Shotoku Winter Sake Activated Nigori" which was released today and is only available in winter. Similar to Kita-Akita, this nigori sake has a shriveled appearance due to the fermentation (activation) of the yeast in the bottle. Be careful when opening the bottle, as it will overflow. It is quite dry, and has a full flavor that goes into the nose, which is characteristic of nigori sake. Just one glass will make your throat hot. Personally, I prefer to drink it slowly and savor it, rather than to drink it in a gung-ho manner.

Junmai Daiginjo-shu, brewed with a Yamahai sake mother, is very mellow. The aroma passes through the nose. It has a strong aroma and taste, but it is suitable for everyone. Personally, I cannot drink this sake by itself. The aroma has a peculiar flavor, but the taste is so robust that you can feel the sake's goodness even with very solid snacks, such as crab miso and squid wadding, etc.

Easy to drink. It is smooth and easy to drink. However, I personally feel that it tastes better when drunk with a meal rather than as a stand-alone sake. Oily food can negate the goodness of this sake, so it goes well with tsukudani (food boiled in soy sauce), simmered dishes, and other meals where you can feel the goodness of the dashi (soup stock).

If you drink this sake alone, the acidity is harsh. It is very acidic and tastes very bad on the nose. However, it is delicious when drunk with a meal. Since this sake has a strong acidity, it goes well with oily or strong-flavored food such as stewed cubes.

Purchased a freshly squeezed (Shiboritate) Fukuju, which can only be purchased at the sake brewery. The aroma is fruity. When you put it in your mouth, it tingles in your nose, and you may feel it is aromatic and a little harsh. It is dry but easy to drink. It is so easy to drink that if you drink it too much, you may get drunk later on.

Not sweet but very drinkable. It has no habits. It goes well with meals and can be drunk smoothly. If you want to drink a crisp sake, you may feel it is not enough.

It's as sweet as juice (syrup). For better or worse, it does not feel like alcohol. I can recommend it to people who are trying alcohol for the first time. I don't think there is anyone who doesn't like this taste. It tastes good on the rocks or mixed with other drinks. It is also delicious as a sorbet.

The acidity is harsh. However, the alcohol does not seem harsh, and it is easy to drink. I don't like the initial sourness, but once in the mouth, it is easy to drink. It is neither sweet nor dry.

The first sip is a bit of a spicy feeling in the throat. Is it spicy on the nose, too? It is a bittersweet sensation. There is a bitter taste peculiar to nigori sake, but it is delicious. It is smooth and easy to drink for a nigori sake.

Almost no aftertaste. Very light. Suitable for beginners. It may not be suitable for drinking while eating. You can't taste the sake. It tastes good when drunk with only snacks and sake.
