We compared the three types of sake.

The unique and complex flavor of the sake is impressive.

When compared to the other wines, the Omachi is the best of the three,
Omachi is the most flavorful and tasty of the three.
Yamada-Nishiki has a slight umami of rice in the middle, but a little acidity and astringency predominate. The acidity is particularly strong.
Hachitan is originally a refreshing type, but the acidity and astringency prevail, with the astringency being particularly strong. The acidity and astringency of Hachitan are dominant, especially the astringency is particularly strong.
Surprisingly, however, even though Omachi has a higher acidity and sake level than Hachitan, the flavor prevails and the acidity and spiciness are less pronounced than in Hachitan.
