I wanted to fish out some sake from the Tohoku region, so I bought this at a local sake store.
This one had a fluffy aromatic quality that spread out of my mouth that I had never experienced before. I imagine sweetness and bitterness coexist, but I think there is a better description.
I don't think there are many sakes that can produce this aroma, but I think it is a luxury sake that is sold in supermarkets and is relatively easy to purchase.
I got hooked on Akita sake on a trip to Akita, so after returning home I looked up Akita sake at a local liquor store and bought some.
I found it to be the easiest sake I have ever had to drink, with just the right amount of fruity and lightness.
The aroma was not too strong, which suited my taste. A sake that can be drunk without hesitation.
The jacket is cool.

I was curious about Laughing Four Seasons. At a liquor store, I was attracted by the phrase "If you are in doubt, this is the one! I was attracted by the phrase "If you are lost, this is the one! The red thread label is a cute type of label.
The aroma is not that strong, but the taste is rich. It has a mild sweetness like cotton candy or melon, which I quite like. There is almost no bitterness or sourness.
Since it is characterized by its sweetness, I think it tastes good at room temperature or slightly warmed. It might go well with white sauce or hot pot.
Purchased from: Asahiya Sake Shop
I had wanted to try it after seeing someone buy 5 bottles at once last year saying, "I love this!
I was surprised when I took a sip and it was just like strawberries! I was surprised. I was surprised when I took a sip and it was just like strawberries!
The alcohol content is only 10 degrees, so it really goes down like a juice.
The top clear without mixing at first. It is thick and clear with a firm sweetness and flavor. When mixed, it is as if a curtain has been drawn over it, and the flavor assertion is weakened, but a sense of unity is achieved. The bitterness and other miscellaneous tastes bring the flavors together. Which one do you like better, the top clear or the bottom clear? Let's try it again tomorrow.
Although much sweeter than I prefer, it has a clean aftertaste and is not unpleasantly sweet.
Fruity aroma like pineapple and apple.
Dark, clean taste, very tasty.
Purchased at Asahiya Sake Shop for 1660 yen.

I bought it the other day because I had a cup of 寫楽, which I drank at a Japanese restaurant. As it turned out, the taste was different from that time. Well, I don't have a very good palate, so I guess it can't be helped. When I drank it at the restaurant, I got the impression that it had a fresh sweetness, but when I drank it at home, I unexpectedly felt sourness and bitterness. There is no doubt that it tastes good, but there is a slight feeling that it is not this.
Since the last Laughing Four Seasons Monsoon Ginbuki was the last of the stock at home, I went to Asahiya Sake Brewery in Gotokuji, which has become a favorite of mine recently. And there it was: Monsoon Yamada Nishiki. I don't often get a chance to compare different rice varieties, so I bought it without hesitation. The aroma was more subdued than that of Ginfukiyuki, but the mouthfeel was also rather refreshing. The mouthfeel is also rather refreshing, but soon the umami and sweetness typical of kijo-zake spread out. I thought Yamada-Nishiki might be a rice whose characteristics are not so clear, but that might be a good thing because it doesn't make the kijo-zake too strong. It is delicious. I don't know which one is better than Ginbuki.
