It is clean, crisp and refreshing. All Miyagi sake is delicious. Sake rice called "Kuranohana" is produced in Miyagi Prefecture.

Sake from the northern Kanto region has the impression of a strong umami taste, but this sake has a lot of umami, acidity, and a long, enjoyable aftertaste, almost like Nara sake. I like this one without question. I don't think the jacket does it justice at all, though. It seems to go well with well-seasoned simmered dishes. It is also delicious on its own.

Kurei is a stable and reliable sake. The taste is a bit hard and austere for Kochi sake, but of course it has umami, and the long-lasting dryness in the aftertaste is typical of Kochi sake. It is not enough to drink by itself, but when paired with food, it complements each other. It can be easily paired with everything from sashimi to grilled and simmered dishes.

Sweet! The flavor is strong, and as the sweetness disappears in the second half, a moderate sourness and pungency arrive, but when I put it in my mouth, I thought it was sugar water. I thought it was sugar water at the moment I put it in my mouth. It is not a bit flashy, but if you drink it with the image of Aomori's well-balanced and mild sake, you will feel a bit rushed. It is different from so-called "spring sake" in that it tastes just like the jacket says it does. It is a difficult sake to find a good use for. It's good as a stopgap when you can't find anything to drink.

It has a mildly mellow and gradually delicious flavor, a model of Shizuoka sake. I had never really thought about the "mildly delicious," but it may be because the acidity and bitterness, which at first glance do not make you aware of them, actually support the underlying flavor when you taste it carefully. It's almost like the feeling you get when you eat a really good soaked dish. It is an all-around mildly delicious sake, but if I were to pair it with sashimi, I would prefer it to be a little more tangy. But of course, it is delicious.
