Sawanoi's Tokyo brewer. The aroma is a little tangy, without a gorgeous flavor. It has a robust flavor with plenty of umami, but the unique characteristics of the sake's traditional sake making process seem to have been well controlled. The mild acidity spreads and a strong astringent taste lingers on the back palate. It is recommended to be served at room temperature, but the temperature was too high for me to drink it cold.
Sawanoi's 100-day aged honjozo sake. Purchased at the Shinjuku Keio Department Store. A special corner was set up for tasting and selling sake by the brewer. I really wanted Sawanoi's recommended sake with soda, but they didn't have it.
The aroma was a bit cucumber-like. It tastes much stronger and has a thick sweet and sour flavor. The strength is high, and it would be delicious on the rocks. A strong honjozo sake that will not lose to yellowtail sashimi.

Slightly gassy. It is good at all temperatures from warmed to cold. The price is 1,017 yen including tax. The best in terms of cost performance. Maybe the best of the year.
On the palate, there is a sourness and a cedar aroma. It has a complex flavor.
It has a Shaoxing wine-like flavor, which may go well with Chinese food...
Is the label DeNiro? Maybe the president of the company... but more like a trucker than a cab driver...
The taste is very drinkable with a strong umami flavor. It is good heated, but I prefer it cold.
