Definitely more acidic.
The aroma is more like yogurt or cottage cheese than fruity.
The taste is quite sweet and may or may not be like honey lemon.
Koei Kiku is absolutely reliable. Although I don't drink it that often, it is one of the sake I like to keep on hand. It has a strong gaseous taste and a refreshing mouthfeel. The taste is mellow and rich, with a sweetness that comes over you. I think the price is a little high, but it is well worth it. However, I don't think I would drink it as a food sake. It is delicious.
Daimine has been a staple for some time now. I still can't get used to the label design, but the quality of the sake is beyond reproach. It is clear, has a strong umami and sweetness, and the sharpness is not bad. I'm still too uninitiated to understand the characteristics of Dewa Tsannin rice, but I think it is richer than the Omine I've had so far. I think I will continue to buy it in the future.
Although it is a kijoshu, it is juicy and rather refreshing. It is smooth and mellow in the mouthfeel, just like a kijoshu, but it is easy to drink because it is not too heavy. I can't stop sipping it, eating something, watching Youtube, and so on. If I'm not careful, I might finish the entire four-pack.
It's been a long time since I've been to Akabu. It is still delicious. The whole flavor is wrapped in a full, sweet aroma. It is not sharp, but the elegant aftertaste disappears exquisitely. It is better to drink it with snacks in the evening than during dinner.
Gentle aroma and flavor.
Good balance of acidity and bitterness ♫
I had a 40% Akita Sake Komachi in stock, but I opened it before I could compare 😅.

Slightly gassy and sour on the palate.
Fruity and a little bitterness is also nice ♡.

Since the weather is getting warmer, this is the second bottle of Tasake for the spring sake ministry.
The last special junmai was a classic, but this is a quintessential spring sake. It was fresh, juicy, and delicious.
A small liquor store I stumbled upon while taking a walk. There is a famous store with the same name, but it does not seem to be related. However, it was a good liquor store with a good selection of trendy items.
The first spring sake of the season I found there. Yamamoto Uki Uki ministry.
My son is the only one in the house, but we opened the bottle on Hinamatsuri Day.
It's low in alcohol content, so it's light, but it's also very tasty and delicious!
