This is the first Kago by Sancho.
It is less sweet than Yamadanishiki and has a slightly spicy taste.
It is gassy and crisp.
Yamadanishiki is sweet and juicy, Hozu is complex, and Kako is spicy.
In 2026, we started with Toyo Bijin!
The aroma and sweetness are more subdued and refreshing like water than when we drank it before at the restaurant.
It was the perfect sake for Osechi.
It had a subtle sweetness and acidity with a refreshing mouthfeel.
It was a sake that I would like to pair with sashimi and other dishes where I want to enjoy the flavor of the ingredients.
The sake has a perfect balance of gentle gasiness, moist sweetness of rice, and refreshing acidity, and can be drunk forever.
Personally, this is the best nigori sake of the year!
As soon as the bottle is opened, the corks dance energetically.
The sweetness of the rice is the base, and there is a faint taste of pear.
It has a strong gaseous taste and is refreshing without any peculiarities, so once you start drinking it, you won't be able to stop...
No wonder it is so popular.
It is lightly cloudy and slightly carbonated.
It is easy to drink with a perfect balance of citrusy, refreshing sweetness and sourness typical of Akabu.
The logo on the helmet is also playful with Santa's specifications 😬.
It has a strong gaseous taste, a moderate sweetness, and a refreshing mouthfeel that does not disappoint!
Be careful not to drink too much as you don't feel the alcohol.
The aroma is fruity and mellow sweetness fills the mouth, but the aftertaste is quite dry and punchy.
It is an interesting sake with a balance of candy and whip.
The last time I drank this sake, it had a distinctive bitter taste, but this time I did not feel it.
Personally, I prefer this one.
This is the first time I drank a mouth-opening Snowball, and it is a carbonated beverage!
As soon as the bottle is opened, bubbles and lees boil vigorously and energetically!
The taste is a perfect match between the refreshing sweet and sourness and the creaminess of the lees.
I am looking forward to next year.
The aroma is subdued, but there's a great sense of gas that only a new sake can have...
The sake is dry with a moderate sweetness followed by a crisp finish. It is also useful as a food sake.
In addition, the price is reasonable for this quality...
It is a versatile sake that can be enjoyed by anyone.
I would like to try the fire-brewed type next time.
Compared to Ginkai, this one has a stronger gassy feel.
The sweetness is a little lessened and the finish is crisp and refreshing.
The expression "lactic acidic soda-like" on the back of the bottle fits perfectly, and it can be enjoyed in large gulps.
It was fruity and smooth on the palate, with a light sweetness and acidity.
It is a well-balanced sake that is light at 13 degrees Alc but also satisfying.
From the label, I thought it would be dry, but because it is a draft sake, I found it to be quite fruity and sweet.
As a food sake, it does not interfere with food.
ma-ki-san
I really liked the taste!
I haven't had last year's so I can't compare, but I think it might be my favorite of the Nabeshima series 😋.
