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

Purchased at usual liquor store. Probably my first Kamikigen, a jacket-like purchase lol. The aroma is subdued and the sweetness is not as sweet as one might expect. It has a sourness and a bit of bitterness in the aftertaste. The alcohol content is relatively high, and it comes as a heavy blow. If this is a typical Kamikigen flavor...I may not like it... Alcohol level 16%. Rice polishing ratio 60 Color Colorless

Purchased at usual liquor store. It's been a long time. Sentori I bought a bottle of Rasuichi. There was also Houou Mita, but I gave it up after consulting with my wallet... As the specification says, it has a lightly whitish ochigara flavor and a robust taste like a sake brewed from a traditional sake brewery, but it also has a light effervescence. It has a firm flavor typical of the sake brewing process, but it also has a light effervescence. It also has a light effervescence. It also has acidity, but I think it is in the easy drinking category. It is said to be "fire-applied," but I wonder if the fizziness will remain after the bottle is opened.... The aroma is not that noticeable, so you can concentrate on the taste. Alcohol content 13%. Ingredients: Aikoku No. 3 (80%), Yamadanishiki (20%) Color: Light cloudy

Purchased at usual liquor store. I bought the label for Aizu Nakasyo, which I had enjoyed drinking before. As the description says, there is no flashy sweetness, but it has a melon-like fruit (vegetable?) sweetness, which I personally like. I personally like the sweetness of melon fruits (vegetables?). The aroma is not too strong, but this may be due to the fact that it is not my first drink, so I may add more information when I drink it without being drunk. Alcohol 14%.

Purchased at usual liquor store. Somehow I bought a packet. The taste is stable, but the fruity flavor is not as strong as expected. The aroma is fruity and wine-like, but the taste and aroma are different. There is a slightly fizzy feeling, but there is also a bit of bitterness in the aftertaste. Maybe it was because it was not the first glass, but it was different from what I expected. If you are looking for the usual fruity sweetness, you might want something else. Alcohol 15%. Rice polishing ratio: 43% for koji rice, 60% for kake rice Color Colorless

Purchased at my usual liquor store. Slightly orizzled, solidly carbonated, with a firm sweet apple-like aroma, this sake tastes like wine. As one would expect from Omine, they are very good at what they do! I thought it might be a summer sake, but as is typical of Omine, it has a solid sweetness, and when swallowed, it seems to have a solid weight to it, in a good way. Alcohol content 14.5%. Rice polishing ratio 50%.

Purchased at my usual liquor store. The aroma is fresh and not so strong. At first, I thought the taste would be as clean as the aroma, but it was packed with more flavor than I expected. The flavor was delicious and sweet, and exceeded my expectations in a good way. It also has a light effervescence, and the bottle is a stylish shade of blue that reminds one of the sea! Don't underestimate it as a summer sake, it is indeed akatake! Alcohol content 13%. Rice polishing ratio 60 Color Colorless
