Sawanoi's hiyaoroshi junmai genzake. It has a very strong attack because it is a pure sake. For a moment, I thought, "Oh? Melon-like sweetness..." Before you can finish the thought, your mouth is dominated by a burning alcohol taste and a rich flavor. The strong flavor, combined with a slightly powdery texture, clings to the tongue. Is this Sawanoi's third autumn sake? I wish they would make more of an official appeal. I found out about this one when I went to a liquor store on a whim and found out at the store.

Sawanoi's Soten. Beautiful pale amber color. Mild fruity aroma rises. No specific fruitiness? Beautiful sake quality with a smooth mouthfeel and a sense of wateriness. Elegant and gentle sweetness and umami, with a slightly strong astringency that comes in easily.

Sawanoi Junmai Ginjirushi. The standard "Dai-harakuchi" is good, but this one is also good. Koku-ami Junmai Sake. There is no particular description, but it has a richness and acidity similar to those of a sake made from a "nama-hashiro" or "kiokake" (a type of sake made from the same yeast as the original brewing process). I drank it rather carelessly because of its reasonable price and regretted it a little.
