Transition of spring scene
At the opening of the mouth. A grainy, light cloudiness. A clean aroma like green bamboo. The sharp mouthfeel leads to a gentle sweetness. Later, minerality and tangy spiciness with sourness appear, and it slowly finishes with a sense of umami.
The sweet and sourness of this sake reminds one of spring. It is interesting to enjoy the change of flavors and tastes.

fleeting thaw
The aroma is reminiscent of lychee and cemedine-like sweetness. In the mouth, after a sense of transparency, a gentle sweetness comes with a slight delay, swelling slightly. The hint of aroma reminds us of gorgeous sweetness and malted rice, and then it quickly snaps.
Overall, it is a delicate sake with a mature impression, but with a unique sweetness and aroma. I would like to pair it with cheese with honey.

become tight
The top aroma reminds us of slightly ripe fruit sweetness, such as gorgeous banana and mango. The sharp mouthfeel reveals minerality and bitterness, and without much hint of incense, the wine is crisp and pungent.
In contrast to the gorgeous top, the hard taste is surprising. Therefore, it is likely to be a sake that can be easily matched with food. It has a taste that I like.

Pineapple Cocktail🍸.
Pineapple-like aroma with a hint of sweetness. The neutral palate is filled with sweetness and pineapple-like aroma. The second half is tangy and pungent, then slowly finishes with a delicious flavor.
Aromatic and full of pineapple. It would be a perfect summer drink at a bar with a view of the ocean.
Tagaji is my first Okayama sake in a long time. It was a gift from a retiree who knew I liked this brand.

mild apple
Slightly yellow. Aroma reminiscent of sour apple cider vinegar. The mild mouthfeel gives a sense of matured acidity. The aroma is like that of Shaoxing wine, and after the umami of rice gradually appears, it finishes with a mellow aftertaste.
It has the mellowness and gravity of an aged sake. There are also nuances like Western-style sake.

Enjoy the bitter taste
Mild grape-like aroma. From a clean mouthfeel, sweetness and bitterness spread with clarity. It finishes with the bitterness as it is.
Transparency and bitterness run side by side. I would like to pair it with a hot pot filled with vegetables.

Hi Gallus 😃.
Great review of the three bottles 👍.
We also had it last night for a comparison 🤗 exactly as reviewed 😋 It was interesting how the lactic acidity intensified in the mid-palate from the first sip impression 😚.

Pursuit of acidity
Floral, acidic aroma. The clean mouthfeel gives way to a refreshingly fresh sweetness. This is followed by a rounded acidity with a sense of transparency, and finishes with a slight bitterness.
The transparency and the acidity that continues slowly are distinctive. The bitter accent at the end is also wonderful. It is easy to drink and opens quickly.
