Sake that is like a Japanese pear in both aroma and flavor. Moderately spicy and easy to drink, with a pear-like flavor that passes through the nose and throat. It is a well-balanced bottle. The last sake I chose was a sake that most sake lovers seem to like, like an honor student of sake. I wonder who writes the characters on these labels. I wonder if there is a certain calligrapher who is good at writing sake labels.

This is a very dry sake with a sake strength of +15. It has a strong spiciness, but is light on the palate, making it easy to drink despite its spiciness. I, who loves spicy sake, couldn't help but reach for it. It is indeed spicy, but it has an elegant spiciness, or rather, a calm and comfortable feeling, which makes me think that the sake will go down very well.

A crisp, light, dry sake. It has a deep, full-bodied, nutty flavor. It is a bottle suitable for drinking with food, and you will never get tired of drinking it. It is said that it is a "good sake for a meal. I was curious to try this sake, which was not available at my last visit, and found it to be summery and tasty. I am not sure about the words "nutty" and "citrusy" in the sake introduction, but it is true that this sake has a nutty aroma that spreads both on the nose and palate.

The elegant sweetness with a hint of white sugar, moist mouthfeel, and spiciness in the aftertaste make it hard to believe that it is an ordinary sake, and it is truly an exquisite ordinary sake. The taste of this sake is completely based on the label. Because the people involved in making good sake are very serious and particular about it, the color and shape of the bottle and the label are also very nice (my own opinion).

@Ponshukan This sake has both a strong, rich rice flavor and an easy-drinking quality that slips right through. Tastefully spicy! And it is indeed spicy. It is indeed spicy, but not unpleasantly so. It makes me want to eat seafood. It seems to be a special junmai (pure rice), and although it was not available at the store, I like it a lot.

Here's my second bottle of more brewed forest junmai ginjo! 🤣 In Tokyo, there are only a few near the distributor and the number of bottles seems to be limited, but the local Ponshukan was strong 🤣🤣🤣. There is a huge line 🤣🤣🤣 Maybe it was a little under-chilled, but it had a more pronounced sweetness 🙄That's what happens when you're on the road and not temperature-controlled in a cellar 🤣. Having said that, the fourth bottle was emptied in one night 🤣🤣🤣
