Purchased at my usual liquor store. From the moment you put your mouth to the cup, it has a robust flavor with a juicy rice aroma. The aroma of rice can be further felt in the mouth, and a slightly stronger sense of fizz can be felt. The taste gives the impression of being suited for a mid-meal drink. Alcohol 14%. Rice polishing ratio 50%. Color Colorless

Purchased this sake after receiving a recommendation at my usual liquor store. It was thought to be a floral sake, but the aroma was not too bright and the taste was full of rice, but the aftertaste was crisp and refreshing, as is typical of Niigata sake. It has a slight bubbling, and the aroma is typical of rice. It has a refreshing taste and a weight that is heavy for its strength, so it seems to be a daiginjo that is very drinkable. Alcohol content 13%. Polishing ratio 50%.

Following Echigo-Tsurukame, I purchased this brand at a different liquor store than usual. The color is a light yellowish, and as the description says, it has a woody aroma. The taste is a bit like old-fashioned sake, but with a more robust flavor that is quite different from the fruity flavors we are accustomed to these days. It is lightly effervescent. This is my first time drinking this brand, but I personally like the taste. Alcohol 15%. Rice polishing ratio 70%.

Purchased at a different liquor store than usual. It was interesting to see the different brands they carry from the usual liquor store. The aroma is calm, not too sweet, and after drinking it, you can taste an apple-like aroma. It has a sour taste as well as a sweet taste, which may be good for those who like sour sake. It is also inexpensive and a cosy sake. Alcohol 14%. Rice polishing ratio 50%. Color Colorless

At a drink at work. The first Hana-yosu. A delicious sake with a strong sweet aroma and a fruity sweetness that does not lose to the aroma! I ordered this brand, which I had never encountered even at my usual liquor store, on the recommendation of a co-worker, and it was very good. If possible, I would like to purchase a whole bottle... Alcohol 16%. Rice polishing ratio 40 Color Colorless

At a drink at work. Shinsei No.6 S-type is delicious! The R-type was good, but I think I prefer the S-type. It is more sake-like and less so than the R-type, but it has a rich aroma and is sweet and tasty enough! The R had more of a wine-like sweetness to it, which I heard others preferred. I want a whole bottle... lol

Purchased at usual liquor store. This is my first Kabutomushi. On the palate, it has a fruity sweetness and a sourness that is typical of Sengkyo, and typical of Sengkyo. It looks bubbly, but the fizziness is not that strong. Perhaps because I drank another sake first, I don't feel much aroma, but it is good because it is packed with umami, but I don't dare to drink it again...maybe? I know it's a luxury, but we all have our preferences😅. Alcohol 14 degrees Rice polishing ratio 50% for koji rice, 60% for kake rice Color Colorless

Purchased at a liquor store anytime. Not a complete jacket purchase, but a label purchase lol. Sweet from the green apple-like aroma. Refreshingly sweet rather than juicy. There is a slight effervescence, and you can feel a light petitiveness from the moment you put it in your mouth. This is probably the first time I've tasted this brand. The bubbles increase as you pour and let it sit for a bit. Alcohol level 16%. Rice polishing ratio: 50% for koji rice, 55% for kake rice Color Colorless

At the store. I was curious about this drink because of its name. It may not have been to my taste, but I'll consider it a stroke of luck, so that's good!

Purchased at usual liquor store. The stable Akabu is delicious! The aroma before drinking is not very strong, but when you put it on your tongue, you can feel the fizziness, the flavor is strong, and the aftertaste is citrus-like and acidic. I would buy it again if I could. Alcohol level 13%. Rice polishing ratio 50%. Color: clear and colorless

At the store. Something doesn't fit... At my usual liquor store, they recommended the "Ama Ama" one, but I guess it wasn't that, it was the regular one... It was quite dry.

Purchased at usual liquor store. This is the first time for me to buy Abe-kan! I was attracted by the goldfish on the back of the label. It is not very sweet and has a moderate aroma. It is a very summery sake. It has a sharpness! It is not so sharp, so I have an impression that it is a bit of a mixed bag...? Maybe it was because it was not my first drink, so my impression will change after tomorrow...? Alcohol 15%. Rice polishing ratio 55

Purchased at usual liquor store. Opened the second bottle today (I didn't finish the first one). As the description says, it seems much drier than the first bottle. The bubbles are very high, and it has a light sparkling-like stimulation. The taste is typical of Hiran? You can taste the rice flavor and feel more alcohol than the alcohol content. Is it rare to have such a dry taste with orikara? On the contrary, is it a current trend? Alcohol 14%.

Purchased at my usual liquor store. The taste is not fruity, but has a soft rice-like sweetness. It has a slight bitterness in the aftertaste, and you may feel the alcohol content in comparison to the flavor. It gives a different impression from the orikarami sakes I have been drinking recently. Maybe it will change again after a while? Alcohol level 16%. Rice polishing ratio 55

At my usual liquor store, I bought some local sake for the first time in a long time. I bought a local sake from the same prefecture. The brewer boldly blends only the last part of the "blended" portion of the sake when pressing the unrefined sake, using the brewer's own unique blend. It is a luxurious sake that uses a lot of pure rice daiginjo and junmai ginjo. (quoted from Fujii Sake Brewery website) It has an aroma like apple cider vinegar, yet it is lightly effervescent and sweet and sour, yet has a firm umami flavor. No wonder it is so popular. Alcohol content 16%. Color Colorless

Purchased directly from the brewery. The aroma is not strong, and the sweetness is not fruity, but it is sweet with a sense of umami as if it were a sake brewed using the traditional sake yeast. The label looks like a traditional sake brand. It may be similar to the taste of Ishi no Kanbase, which I drank in the past from the same brewery. I would like to drink it again if it is available. Color Colorless Frequency 17%. Rice polishing ratio 50%. Sake degree -5
