Timeline
たけるパパI saw this Nanamizu brewed by Toraya Honten in Utsunomiya City, my hometown, at the supermarket. It was my first time to try it.
This time, it was a standard fire-brewed TYPE with room temperature distribution.
The rice used is domestic rice.
Polishing ratio is 65
Alcohol content is between 15 and 16 degrees Celsius.
Specifications are for fire-aged sake
Production date: August 2025
When the bottle is opened, the aroma is rather subdued, with a hint of rice aroma and fullness. The aroma is faintly fruity, with a hint of pear.
When poured into a sake cup, it presents a clear, clear, pale golden color and is of a smooth and silky nature.
Taking a sip, it has a refreshing mouthfeel with a light acidity. A grain-like flavor gradually spreads in the mouth, giving it a soft but slightly dry feeling. The aftertaste is sharp and has little bitterness or other unpleasant tastes.
The aroma is mild and the taste is calm, making it a good mid-meal drink. 
たけるパパWe brought a drunken whale we saw in the supermarket.
The rice used was domestic rice
Polishing ratio is 55
Alcohol level is 15
Sake degree is +7
Association No. 9 yeast is used as the base yeast.
When the bottle is first opened, the aroma is slightly sharp and dry, with a hint of grain and nuts. The aroma is mixed with a light sourness. The fruity flavor is quite subdued.
When poured into a sake cup, it is like clear water with a strong sense of transparency, and has a smooth, light character.
When you take a sip, the mouthfeel is sharp and clear. The sweetness is subdued and the dry dryness stands out from the start, but there is also a hint of rice flavor. In the mouth, umami and acidity spread in good balance. The acidity tightens the aftertaste and gives a clean taste that disappears easily with little clutter.
It has a modest aroma, dryness, and acidity to tighten the taste, and umami to support the overall flavor, which is the nature of a so-called "food sake. It is not so dry as to be dry, but you can fully taste the umami. Delicious 😋.
