The moment you put it in your mouth, it is light. It is a rare type of sake that slowly develops its umami afterwards. Usually, the first taste comes first, and then it gradually gets better and better, but this sake lacked a lot of flavors at first, and I was wondering, "Hmm, what about this? But with this sake, there weren't enough flavors at first, and as I was rolling it around in my mouth with my arms folded, the flavors started to come out and the last one was the best, so I was like, "Oh, I'm sorry I doubted you. I had an image of Choryu as a cheap sake, but I was amazed that he could pull off such a trick.

勢正宗らしい、旨味、酸味、甘味のバランスのいいところに、ふわっと春らしい華やかさがあって、春の旨口とでも呼びたくなる。 一通り味わった後、きれいにキレていくところも素晴らしい。 いやー、これはほんまに全ての要素がバランス良くて、めちゃくちゃ好き。 もっといろんなお店に置いてほしい。

The moment you put it in your mouth, you are hit with a burst of slightly sweet umami. It does not have a sharp, dry taste, but the umami continues for a while, and then it finishes at a moderate level, which is called "dry"? This flavor that is completely umami-guchi is rare among Yamaguchi sake, which is often made with the highest grade of quality. It would go well with Nuta or firefly squid.

It has a dry taste with a little sweetness and dryness. However, unlike sake that is all about dryness, it has a complex yet moderate umami flavor, perhaps because it is made with 80% polished rice? It goes well with sashimi.

What is a special sake? It is a honjozo sake, but it is not crispy. It has a slightly sweet, dashi broth-like flavor that makes you feel relaxed. I wondered if this dashi flavor is what makes it a tokuso (special brew). It can be served cold, but I think it tastes better warmed up.

Sweet! Sometimes when you drink an unknown alcoholic beverage, you get something you didn't intend to, so the skill of the drinker is tested by how he or she responds to such a situation.

Although it is called "nigori" (cloudy), it is not cloudy, but rather it is left cloudy for the sake of umami. Gizaemon is often refreshing, so this kind of slightly muddy sake is delicious with just the right amount of umami.

It has a mild umami taste, which is typical of Shizuoka, but it also has a slightly dashi (Japanese soup stock) flavor. The aftertaste is also a bit spicy, not just mildly umami-guchi, but a bit unique. It is not just a mild umami, but a little bit unique.
