With all due respect, it's a sake from a brewery I don't know at all. I found it at Isetan. Overall, it has a classic taste with an accent of acidity. It's easier to drink than I thought it would be. Is it called "Nakaguchi"? It may have been well managed on the sales floor, but even though it was made in July of last year, it hasn't aged at all.

I'm not a big fan of fire roasting in general (twice cooked), but this is delicious.

I wouldn't want to overcool it.

It's supposed to be quite dry, but it has a freshness and a trace of sweetness. Then the spiciness comes at once. I thought it might not be my favorite type, but it was delicious. Koiku 54 is the code name of Gin no Yume when it was developed. There is a little bit of gas. The acidity is also good.

I've seen this sake at a supermarket in Fukuchiyama, but I've never seen it anywhere else. It was in the Kyoto Isetan. Is it a little sweet? It feels a little mature. Ayane is the name of the brewer's daughter, and it used to be a minus-sweet brew, but they're making it dry now because she's rebellious.

The Kyoto Isetan has an impressive selection of sake. They cover the whole country, and they carry almost all the breweries in Kyoto.

I bought it at Kyoto Isetan. It seems to be unfiltered though it doesn't say so. It has a dark color. A famous female toji (brewer) was there, and we were able to talk with her. It's a very thick sake with a lot of body, but very drinkable. It seems like it would be good even if you let it sit.

It is a raw and unpasteurized sake with 13% alcohol content, made partly from white koji. It has a refreshing, sweet and sour taste in the mouth and is easy to drink. It has a refreshing sweet and sour taste and is easy to drink. Sweet and refreshing. This is the one that broke the image of traditional sake (old man's drink, alcoholic and difficult to drink). The cup is Morozoff, which is a charm.
