Purchased at usual liquor store. Stable AKABU! From the description, I guessed it was hiya oroshi. The aroma is mature but slightly fruity. It is very easy to drink and slightly sweet with almost no alcohol taste. The aftertaste is also gently sweet, with no bitterness or sourness at all. Alcohol content 13%. Rice polishing ratio 50%. Color Colorless Preference ★★★★★

Thanks for the Kumamoto souvenirs from my classmate! I will have it with spicy lotus root! I have the impression that it is a traditional Japanese sake. I thought Kumamoto was also a shochu culture, so I was grateful for the sake souvenir. The aroma of this sake is easy to recognize, and it is rather dry? It was delicious 😋.

Purchased at usual liquor store. The one on the right in the photo is 弐, specs undisclosed. The aroma is fresh and fruity, like green apple. The taste is surprisingly more acidic than the first one. The impact of the taste in the mouth may be weak. The aftertaste is also sour, but there is almost no bitterness. It also has a very different impression from the usual Faylan, so some people may regret buying it if they want to drink the usual Faylan.... Alcohol 14%. Taste ★★★☆☆☆☆☆

Purchased at usual liquor store. The one on the left in the photo is Ichi, specs undisclosed. The aroma has a strong sourness like vinegar. The taste is not as sour as the aroma. When you roll it around in your mouth, it tastes sweet and sour, but the aftertaste is bitter and not too strong carbonation. The impression is quite different from the usual Faylan, so some people may regret if they buy it because they want to drink the usual Faylan... Alcohol 14 degrees Taste ★★★☆☆☆☆

Purchased at my usual liquor store. I was curious about this Niidashi-Senshu and decided to purchase it after reading the description. As the name "melon" suggests, the aroma was melon and other melon-like aromas, fruity but not too sweet. Did I taste the melon flavor for a moment as it went down my throat? After taking a sip, the aroma when drinking might give the impression of melon soda. The sweetness is there, but not so strong, and the aftertaste is also a bit acidic, but I don't feel any bitterness. The taste is unexpected, as I had been informed beforehand that Niidashi zenshuu means sourness. Alcohol 15%. Rice polishing ratio 60 Color Nigori Sake Taste ★★★☆☆☆☆

Purchased at my usual liquor store. I had been curious about Takeyuki for a while, bought it like a jacket purchase, and was attracted by the label. I felt like drinking it while listening to back number's "I'll Be You"...lol The aroma is fruity, like green apple. It was not a strong aroma, but it tasted just like the impression it gave. It has a light sweetness with almost no bitterness in the aftertaste. The fizziness is noticeable from the appearance, but it is not strong. It is good for when you want to drink in a relaxed atmosphere. Alcohol 14%. Rice polishing ratio 60 Color Colorless Taste ★★★☆☆☆☆

Purchased at a local souvenir shop after visiting Izumo-taisha Shrine. I had enjoyed it at a store before, so I had high expectations! The description at the store said it was slightly dry. The aroma was that of traditional sake, with a strong rice aroma, but it also had a fruity note. The mouthfeel is fruity and mild, but it comes on thicker than expected. There is no bitterness at all, making it easy to drink. It is delicious at room temperature, and I am looking forward to seeing how it will turn out when it is chilled thoroughly. Alcohol 15%.

Recommended and purchased at my usual liquor store. The aroma is sour for a Kaze no Mori, and the taste is dry. It also has a solid effervescence, but it is a little less fruity than other Kaze no Mori. While it has a sourness, it also has a fruity, apple-like flavor. It may be like the Mikumari Hououmida we drank the other day, but with less fizz and more like a cider. Alcohol 14%. Rice polishing ratio 50%. Color Colorless Taste ★★☆☆☆☆☆☆

Purchased at usual liquor store. Daimine's cup sake, summer version with fireworks. Is there any difference in the taste of sake at different times of the year...? I can't judge that, but it's a stable taste. It tastes as good as the spring version. The fruity aroma and sweetness are typical of Omine. The small quantity makes it easy to recommend to people who don't drink much sake. Alcohol content 14.5%. Color Colorless Preference ★★★★★

Purchased at usual liquor store. This is the second time since last year? I was worried about the heavy rain, so I couldn't drink it. I was worried about the heavy rain, so I couldn't drink, but now that there is a lull, I've lifted the ban. I hope you can forgive me for not being able to drink at the launch because of the rain, even though yesterday was the big day. The wine has a solid effervescence like a sparkling wine, just as it says "be careful not to open the bottle". The aroma is fruity and sweet, like pears or muscats. When you drink it, you get the impression that it is surprisingly dry and not as sweet as the aroma, so even those who don't like sweet wines can drink it. The aftertaste is rather bitter. Since it is a draft sake, it is likely to have a fizzy taste from tomorrow onward. Alcohol content: 15 to 16 degrees Celsius Rice polishing ratio 50%. Color Colorless Preference ★★★★☆

I bought it after cheating on a liquor store outside of the city. Before opening the bottle, it spontaneously burst open and the lid flew off, freaking me out...! It is from the Discovery Series of Sono Kangiku, which I drank the other day, and the aroma is absolutely gorgeous! The aroma is gorgeous, and the sweetness is quite strong when you drink it, but the aftertaste is clean, or rather, it disappears quickly. As I mentioned at the beginning, it has a strong effervescence, like a white wine or a sparkling wine, and it is delicious. It is easy to drink as there is no bitterness at all. Postscript The lid flew off again when I kept it in the refrigerator! I was planning not to drink it today, but it might be better to finish it as soon as possible, though it would be a waste... After a day, I thought it was easy to drink, like a calpis sour. Also, it said it was colorless, but it's a bit cloudy and the picture doesn't look colorless at all lol. Alcohol 14%. Rice polishing ratio 50%. Color: light nigori (strong bubbles) My favorite ★★★★☆

Purchased at usual liquor store. The gorgeous aroma can be felt even before drinking. The sweetness is in line with the aroma when you put it in your mouth, but the sweetness does not remain as long as expected and you can drink it without hesitation. The sweetness comes first due to the aroma, but when you savor it slowly, you can taste the acidity. When I was conscious of the sourness, I realized that I was feeling a rather strong sourness from the moment I put it in my mouth, or perhaps the sourness was more assertive. It might be good for those who want to taste sweetness and sourness at the same time. There is no fizziness at all. Alcohol level 13%. Rice polishing ratio 70%. Color Colorless Taste ★★★☆☆☆☆

Purchased at my usual liquor store. Opened it as a reward for a hard day's climbing! It has a fruity aroma like white wine with a slight sourness. The taste is also consistent with the aroma, with a sweetness that feels like a sip, and a sourness that tastes sweet and sour. The taste is sweet and sour, with a slight fizz that can be felt on the tip of the tongue. The aftertaste is surprisingly light and watery, making it easy to drink even for those who are not fond of sour flavors. It is a stable, delicious Akabu, and a solid reward. Alcohol 14%.

Purchased at my usual liquor store. I was always curious about the macho label, and finally bought it to see if I was in the mood to unravel. The color is yellowish and the aroma is incredibly sour. It was like vinegar...! I couldn't imagine the sweetness from the aroma. Unlike the aroma, it is an easy-to-drink sake with no sourness at all... lol. The difference between the aroma and the taste is astonishing...! After taking a sip, the aroma is no longer bothering my nose at all. It is hard to believe that the rice is 90% polished rice. It tasted better than expected! Alcohol 14 degrees Polishing ratio 90 Color: yellowish. Preference ★★★★☆

I managed to buy it through a friend, and this year, too, I bought it...! The specification of the bottle seems to have been changed due to some reasons, so I was anxious as well as hopeful.... After pouring it, bubbles started to appear and I realized that the yeast was still alive! The aroma is sour, as is typical of Senkyoku, and the carbonation is firm and quite solid, like a sparkling wine. The taste also has a firm acidity, but it also has a slight sweetness and a slight bitterness in the aftertaste. For some reason, the lid is a "open and shut" type lid like a beer bottle, so I had to use the lid from another bottle that I had already finished drinking.... I hope it won't burst when I wake up tomorrow. Alcohol content: 13%. Rice polishing ratio unknown Color: light nigori Preference ★★★★

I went away to a liquor store in another city and couldn't find it last time? I bought a bottle of Kangiku, which I couldn't find the last time I visited a liquor store in another city! The aroma is fruity with a hint of sourness (is the smell of sourness strong?). The aroma is easy to understand and fruity with a hint of sourness (strong sour aroma?), but when you drink it, it is well effervescent and relatively sweet and sour in the mouth, but also has a bitter aftertaste. You can feel the sake well and it is delicious! Regardless of my taste in sake, the bottle is so thick that it is hard to fit it vertically in the refrigerator... Alcohol level 14 degrees Rice polishing ratio 50%. Color: light cloudy Preference ★★★★

Summer version of Tasake! The aroma may be modest for a tasake? It is fruity, but it may not be immediately apparent unless you take a long sniff.... The taste is rich and juicy, with a light bitterness on the tongue and in the aftertaste. The impression is more packed than the one I drank before. Will the impression change again with temperature change? Alcohol content: 16%. Rice polishing ratio 50%. Color Colorless Taste ★★★☆☆☆☆

For some reason, the photo didn't register, so I reposted it! Purchased at my usual liquor store. First Oze no Yukidoke. I was curious about this brand since it was introduced on YouTube. The aroma is said to be like Golden Delicious apples, but I don't know what Golden Delicious apples smell like, but I don't think it has the sweet and sour aroma of apples.... As for the taste, it has a subdued sweetness, and does not have much of the acidity that is mentioned in the introduction. The sweetness is more subdued than the aroma, and seems to be gourd-like sweetness. Alcohol 15 Rice polishing ratio 50%. Color Colorless Taste ★★☆☆☆☆☆ Postscript After a little time has passed after opening the bottle, the taste has changed and it might have an aroma of apple. For some reason, I think the sweetness has also increased in intensity. It's not fresh and fruity, but juicy with more flavor. My favorite ★★★☆☆☆☆

Long time no see? Jikin is the first one in a long time. Rich aroma, fruity impression. The fizzy sensation is only faintly perceptible and can be felt on the tip of the tongue. It tastes good even after opening the bottle for a long time. If possible, I would like to drink it again. Alcohol content 15.5%. Rice polishing ratio 45 Color Colorless Taste ★★★☆☆☆☆

I bought a packet at my usual liquor store! I had never heard of this sake from Kumamoto. It has a rather strong effervescence, and the alcohol is not very high at 14%, but you can still feel the alcohol. The aroma is not so noticeable to the nose, but in the mouth it has a fruity aroma with a hint of sweetness. It is like a sparkling wine, but there is no bitterness in the aftertaste, so it is considered to be an easy-drinking wine. Alcohol 14%. Rice polishing ratio 65 Color Colorless
