Slightly sweet, not unpleasantly honjozo-like, but not as tasty as junmai.
It is not bad, but for the same price, I would drink the Ikezuki.

誉池月純米酒 改良雄町 木槽しぼり
たけさん
It has a mild, yet strong umami flavor that is uncharacteristic of Shimane sake, and has no strange peculiarities, making it a perfect match.
It is similar to Kaygetsu, but the aftertaste is not spicy and fades away quickly, giving the impression of being more gentle.
If you drink it blind, you would never think it was made in Shimane, and for better or worse, it is a very un-Shimane-like sake.
It is really delicious.

Omachi and Kaiun.
At first glance, it seems to be a contradiction, but when you drink it, you will find that Kaiun's mild and delicious taste is not blurred, but Omachi is definitely there.
Kaiun is rolling the Omachi well.
It's delicious.

Dewazakura特別本醸造 蔵涼み 瓶火入れ
たけさん
I know the name, but I don't remember drinking it.
As the name "Kura Ryomi" implies, it tastes refreshingly cool and is made exclusively for summer.
It has none of the unpleasantness of the honjozo, and I wonder if it is soaked in alcohol to give it a refreshing taste rather than a sharpness.
Well, as someone who doesn't seek a refreshing taste in sake, I would drink this sake with a glass of shochu or beer.

Kaiun純米 赤磐雄町
たけさん
Mm! It is exquisite!
It is just like a sake made by Kaiun in Omachi.
Kaiun takes the lead, and the moment you put it in your mouth, it is a slightly spicy, mildly umami sake, but the scent of Omachi comes in later.
It is true that the usual Kaiun is fine, but it would be nice to have an extra version like this.

Dan純米 天が照らす晴レの酒
たけさん
It is a little spicy with a sweet umami taste.
I had an image of Tadashi as being sweeter, but this is just the right amount of sweet and umami.
The sweet-savory aftertaste is very good, and the spiciness is just right to finish it off.
This is delicious.

Chiyomusubi純米辛口 じゅんから
たけさん
Huh? That's spicy. And it's a little short...
It says "junmai dry" on the label, but I can't taste the robust umami that is typical of Chiyomusubi.
It's just plain tasty, but I'd be happy with another sake.
I'm glad I drank it before buying a bottle.
I guess I'll have to go with strong for Chiyomusubi!

たけさん
It's a super-hot raw sake from the reliable company, Takarazurugi.
I can't imagine what it's like, but I tried it anyway.
It has a raw feeling, but it's not too much, and it still has a graceful quality. It doesn't have any super-hotness.
Well, I can't deny that it's a little bit neither.
After all, the depth of hiyaoroshi is better suited for an honors student from Hiroshima, Yamaguchi, than the sparkling sensation.

Hayaseura.
I used to not like this sake because I thought it tasted weak, but it was recommended to me at one of my favorite standing bars, and it was so good that I started drinking it whenever I felt like it.
I don't have full trust in sake like Okura, Wataya, Mimuro Sugi, or Chiyomusubi, and although it is a bit expensive, I had a rather good impression of it, but this slightly cloudy sake is not so good.
It has little umami and a thin taste, and the aftertaste is only a little spicy without leaving any umami.
I can't think of a good occasion to drink this sake.

たけさん
This is new to me, but it's a new sensation.
It is fresh and a little tangy because it is fresh, but it is not sweet, and the aroma is not too strong.
It's not a food sake, but the umami flavor is too refreshing, and the tingling sensation that lingers after drinking makes me think it's like sake with carbonated water.
This is a sake for the right person.
Maybe it would go well with ponzu (citrus juice with grated onion)? I don't know.
If I were asked if I would drink it the next time I see it, I wouldn't.

The other day, I finally learned the difference between "Raifuku" and "Kaiun".
In contrast to the jacket, the taste is a bit strong and mildly umami, and it goes really well with sashimi.
The Oyamanishiki I drank the other day had a similar taste, so maybe it is a Kintaro candy in a good sense.
If I see it again, I will definitely drink it.
