Green label in the middle.
You can clearly taste the sweetness and flavor on the tip of your tongue, but the aftertaste is refreshing. I could drink it easily as I like.
The rice, koji and yeast are all made in Ibaraki, and the sake is full of local love. If I ever come across this sake again, I'd love to pair it with Ibaraki's cuisine.

Right label.
It has a well-balanced aroma of faint sweetness and alcohol. The taste of koji and rice in the mouth. The principle of the principle principle, so we like it very much. If you taste it carefully, you will get a faint scent of coconut. It's massive but the alcohol content is good, so it's very smooth to drink.
It is described as being made in a wooden vat, but there is not much woody scent and it is easy to drink.
I searched for "short-stalked watafune" and found out it's a type of sake rice. The swamp of Japanese sake is deep and interesting.

A masterpiece that conveys the brewery's passionate desire to overturn the image of honjozo.
A refreshing aroma with a good balance of sweetness, acidity, and aromatics! Sweet and sour, with a hint of bitterness in the mouth, like a grapefruit. Taste it carefully on the tongue and you will find a hint of coconut. It's not just the smell, but everything about it is refreshing.
I'm not a big fan of Honjozo and I don't usually drink it, but the owner of the brewery assured me that it would be absolutely delicious.
The brewery has some great sake called Shizengo, but I was pleased to see that they want people to drink good sake at an affordable price point.

The Macho series was originally named after the low-polished, high-protein, macho, and now this Oka Macho is half male macho and half female macho made from 80% male and 80% female Aiyama.
A faintly sweet and sour, refreshing aroma. After that, there is a faint odor of alcohol. In the mouth, the sweetness comes out and the alcohol flavor comes in immediately. It is surprisingly dry. When it goes through the nose, there is a slight taste of rice, but it has a good alcohol flavor and is very crisp. Personally, I would have liked to taste more of the flavor. At room temperature, it tastes like a grapefruit. I think I prefer it at room temperature.

The owner explains that this is a trial brew from Nabeshima and will probably never be made into a commercial product using this method and will never be served again.
It smells like yogurt. In the mouth, it is sweet, with a strong acidity that sticks to the tongue. After that, there is a hint of coconut. (I call it the coconut scent because I haven't studied sake properly) The alcohol is also quite strong, and the aroma is far from my favorite.
I got a glimpse of the brewery's efforts to create a wonderful sake that was carefully selected through repeated trials like this one.

Silver label in the middle.
Rich and fruity. Its richness is close to caramel, and I enjoyed drinking it to my liking. The aftertaste is long but not too bad, so it seems to go well with food.

The distinctive gorilla label on the far right.
I asked for this one because I love the Macho series from Daihai.
The principle principle is richness. It has a sense of maturity. It's solid and macho delicious. The owner told us there are many kinds of Macho series other than the male and female gorillas, so we will definitely ask for another one if we come across one. I would definitely ask for more if I could find them.
