Timeline
flos_lingua_estTwo summer sakes and Mitsuo Yamakawa's Yamagata Masamune times were my personal dots. The autumn sake has a good reputation, so we will have it with high expectations.
It has a sweet aroma. It is as sweet as ever even when you swallow it. Although it is sweeter than the standard Omachi, the sweetness is just right and supports the umami, creating a very good balance. The ratio of sweetness to umami is about 7:3.
It has a freshness and freshness as if it were a new sake, but with a pleasant acidity and soft sake quality, it is not too spicy and has a mellow mouthfeel, giving it a good autumnal sake taste.
But what is interesting is that it is not just a soft, modern sake. It has a classical atmosphere with a strong alcoholic character, which is the quality of Yamagata Masamune.
Overall, it has a fresh, light fruitiness, somewhat like a pear. This does not change even after a few days from the first day. It also has aromas of apple and pineapple.
We chose a standard Omachi for the comparison, but this one has a distinct sweetness and plenty of flavor. The juiciness from the acidity and sourness of the other one? I enjoyed both as moist and umami sake! It was a good sake that had both autumn-agari-like and un-autumn-agari-like elements.

I bought "Sairai" which I was curious about from your post on Sake no Wa 😃.
According to the description
Enjoy the harmony created by the elegant ginjo aroma, the sweetness of the rice, and the fine acidity.
I'm sure you'll enjoy it.
Delicious 😋.
At first, the gentle ginjo aroma before drinking gives the impression of dryness, which is slightly different from what you might expect.
The sweetness of the rice soon follows, giving the impression of a gentle aftertaste.
The opposite image of a sweet sake with a spiciness that gives it a sharpness.
The sweetness of the rice softens the sharpness of the dry sake.
I got such an impression 😋👍
I served it chilled.
The image of the aroma that I felt...
-Aroma: A strong ginjo aroma 👍
-Aroma: A slight spiciness that passes through the nose.

(5 is the maximum) ぺっほI was curious about this beautiful human sake because it is from the prefecture 💖Tastes just like the design and name ✨Feels like a bottle you would want to keep in a western restaurant ❗️I was wondering about the main course of salmon this day, but I decided to make it meuniere instead of grilled 😊. ポンちゃんGood morning, shinsaku3 & Pekho 🐥.
I laughed and nodded my head at Peckho's "beautiful human being" 🤣I only drink outside, but the white and pale blue labels sure taste elegant 😊. ぺっほPon-chan💕Good morning 😃I'm glad you share my sentiments 🥰Sara is one of the most graceful and beautiful women in the store fridge, while most sake is masculine looking ✨I think I've seen you in pink before too ❓I wonder if we can meet again 🩷. habusanIt's been a little while since I've had takachiyos.
Fruity and tasty as ever. ヒロ☀️
Soft sweet aroma as soon as the bottle is opened 😊.
Pineapple and green apple sweetness, astringency.
The sweetness is a little more mellow. Astringent taste is still the same.
No carbonation 🫧 at all, so it has a calm atmosphere. Mild sweetness stands out in a moist structure.
After 2 days after opening the bottle, the astringency and mellowness are lessened and the refreshing coolness is more ⤴️.
It was more settled after a day😊. ムロHi Hiro, good evening ✨
I got UA Momiji🍁 the other day and was waiting to open it😅
Now I want to open it after seeing Hiro's review 😂 wasn't planning to yet...
I'm having trouble with all the delicious sake 🍶😫. ヒロGood evening, Mr. Muro 🌙
I'm not sure if I should move up the order to open the bottle, I totally understand 😁.
My fridge is full of guys warming up 🏋️♂️ in the queue 🤣. shinsaku3Overall 9 (out of 10)
I got Tasake Akita Sake Komachi 🍶😃.
Delicious 😋❣️
The umami with a sense of transparency and a weak astringency that accentuates the taste.
I got the impression of a lingering sense of transparency rather than a crisp cut 😋.
Compared to yesterday's Tasake Yamahai, Yamahai has a sense of maturity and this Akita Sake Komachi has a sense of transparency.
That's my impression!
As expected of Tasake, both are very good 😋.
Tasake has a complex taste and is cleverly assembled.
I am inexperienced in sake, but I can't decipher the taste!
I drank half of it to write my impressions again 😅
I drank it chilled.
The aroma I felt was
-Aroma: Ginjo aroma
-A hint of astringency in the nose.

With fried bean sprouts? With sweet salmon? I drank and ate and drank 🥰. ジェイ&ノビィGood evening, shinsaku3 & Pekho 😃.
Akita Sake Komachi Tasake! I'd like to try a bottle of this 🤗Aged vs. clear seems like two extremes, but it's hard to keep the goodness no matter which comes first 😙. shinsaku3Good evening, Jay & Nobby 😃.
I thought they were both cleverly and deliciously done, even though they are both quite different strains of flavors 😋.

I got the Tasake Yamahai 🍶😃.
According to the description by the brewery
According to the description by the brewery, "a well-balanced sake with a good balance of umami and sweetness that even those who don't like Yamahai sake will be captivated by it."
It's delicious 😂.
It's delicious 😋❣️
The taste is different from what you would expect from the rich aroma, with umami and a woody astringency (an astringency that reminds you of a wooden barrel that has been used for many years) that spreads in your mouth.
The aroma, umami, and this astringency are in total balance, and it is a classic without feeling classic 👍.
It's a complex and difficult taste 😋.
I drank half of it to write my impression😅
I drank it chilled.
I was able to taste the aroma of the wine.
-Aroma: Full aroma👍
Aroma: Aroma that is rich and full 👍 - Aroma: Aroma of astringency that passes through the nose.

Bigger number = thicker and richer ぺっほEven when the astringency is sharp, it maintains a beautiful balance, which is what makes Tasake 💕complex, deep, and such a sake impression is indeed difficult! It's one of the charms of sake that makes you keep on drinking. I left some for tomorrow's sake comparison - ❗️ ジェイ&ノビィGood morning, shinsaku3 & Pekho 😃.
I have an image that yamahai is a little bit difficult to drink 😅I see that you can enjoy the astringent taste with balance 🤗We can't describe the taste and will escape into a chat 😆I wonder if we can compare the drinks 😁. shinsaku3Good morning, Jay & Nobby 😃.
Yes, when I think of Yamahai, I imagine a distinctly astringent taste 😅.
I couldn't help but buy it because it was Tasake 😅.
But that's what I expected from Tasake👍.
It was easy to drink 👍 ポンちゃんHi shinsaku3 & Pekho 🐦!
My goal this year was also to find a yamahai that is easy to drink, but I couldn't find this one 😭I know exactly what you mean about a classic without feeling like a classic! Let me use it next time 🙏. shinsaku3Good evening, Pon 😃.
If you like my impression, please feel free to use it 😃.
I had the impression that the Yamahai was a bit peculiar, but I thought this Tasake's Yamahai was good enough 😃. shinsaku3Overall 9 (out of 10)
Jay & Nobby's, after Team Orange we also got this sake that is part orange 🧡😃.
Different lots of the same brand have different descriptions, and this Yonotori was no different 😮.
The third photo is the one we received this time and the fourth photo is the one we received in May this year!
According to the description
Aroma of wild fruits such as apricot and raspberry. It also has an earthy aroma of earth and soup stock.
and "earthy aroma like earth and soup stock are also latent.
Delicious 😋.
I have never heard the expression "earthy aroma" before, but now that you mention it, I think I can feel a different kind of tangy taste behind the sweetness, which is not the tangy taste of rice 🤔.
It is such a noble sake, mainly sweet but not only sweet 👍
I think it's a good idea to try it.
-Aroma: Ginjo aroma👍
-Aroma: Slight scent of wood vat and rice.

(5 is the maximum) ぺっほI'm on team orange 🧡 and opened the bottle ✨the nice aroma spreading out, I'm happy 😍I'm in the mood to drink with everyone while watching sakewa, I'm happy 😍the meal is over, I'm drinking while picking up some sweet potato karin 💕. ジェイ&ノビィGood morning, shinsaku3 & Pekho 😃!
I see the sakéwa connection with orange 🧡 🤗Shinsei's flavor commentary has some esoteric expressions 😄'This is an earthy aroma 😌' I might want to try to use it 😆. shinsaku3Good morning, Jay & Nobby 😃.
Yes, it's quite a difficult expression 😅.
I didn't even know the word "seicho" in May's commentary 😅. I would like to use the new political language with ease 😅. keitaI had the summer kasumi-shu before and enjoyed it so much that I bought the fall kasumi-shu as well!
As expected, it is very delicious with a sweet, syrupy sweetness 🍶. 
ヒロ☀️
The back of the bottle says it is a refreshing sake for early summer.
It has a sweet and sour taste. Compared to other sake brands, the acidity is stronger with less sweetness 🧐.
The balance of sweet and sour, combined with the slight carbonation, gives it a clear, sharp taste and a nice clean finish.
The aftertaste has a thin sweetness of rice....
The type of sake was different from the ones we have had in the past and gave us a fresh impression 🤩.
If the same brand is different depending on the season, I want to drink it every time 🥰. ma-ki-Hi Hiro, Good evening.
Here is my first shipment of sake and I got it today: ⤴️
I was looking back on today's blissful time when I saw your post! I was looking back on the blissful time I had today 🎵.
The sake is really delicious and I can see why it is so highly rated! ヒロGood evening, ma-ki-!
I'm glad you commented and confirmed my own taste buds: ☺️
I thought ma-ki-'s description of citrusy lemon was accurate: 🙂↕️
I hope you'll have a chance to try some of our other packaged liquors 🤗. shinsaku3Overall 8 (out of 10)
This is my first Wakayama sake 🍶😃.
According to the description.
It tries to express the good quality water of Kishu. It is characterized by its softness on the palate and its aroma when it enters the mouth."
They say.
Delicious 😋.
It is exactly like water, silky light, but with a weak but strong aging taste (I can't find the right word to describe it, but it tastes like a strong Shaoxing wine) that works well, making it silky light, not shallow and not thin👍.
I had it chilled.
The aroma is as follows.
-Aroma: Slightly spicy ginjo aroma.
-Aroma: Aroma of rice and a little bit of a tangy taste.

But it's pretty crisp and spicy ✨First time at Kadokami Gyorui for sushi 🐟The place is as crowded and well-stocked as the reputation ❤️ delicious 🍣! ジェイ&ノビィHi shinsaku3 & Pekho😃!

Thank you very much 😊
Yes, I am very interested in other brands, I will try to find them and drink them: ❣️
That's the way to look at it when you have a lonely wallet: ❣️ shinsaku3Good evening, Tsubu 😃.
Thank you 😊
This non-habitual feeling was also the best match, enhancing the sushi flavor without disturbing it 😋.
With this taste and this price, it's a candidate for my regular sake 😅. ヒロ☀️
I was curious about this sake 🍶 because it has a good reputation at Sake no Wa.
Sake rice is 100% Omachi🌾.
Sweet aroma and firm sweetness like peach🍑. The sweetness is not clingy and is refreshing.
A little astringency at the end ❓🤔.
The sweetness and sourness are well balanced so I thought it was flavorful and easy to drink 😊. keitaThis year, I was able to purchase Akamu SEA, which I was unable to purchase last year.
Slightly sour, no bitterness, sweetness is gentle.
It can be drunk without any discomfort, and can be drunk like water 🍶. ヒロ☀️
I was curious about this sake 🍶 after learning about it on Sakewa.
I found it and bought it 😁.
Reihou 100%🌾.
Moderate sweetness and crisp acidity😄
Very slightly carbonated 🫧, goes down your throat like a soda 🤔.
Finally, rice flavor hidden in the acidity 🌾😚.
Sake with a characteristic acidity and a clean taste🍶.
I've been told that the sake brewing expresses the sea 🌊, and that's what it looks like when you say it 🧐. keitaI had a chance to try haccoba's sake at an event and enjoyed it, but my local liquor store did not carry it, so I found it and bought it immediately!
It has a good balance of sourness and bitterness with a slight effervescence, and a complex aroma due to the inclusion of chili pepper, myoga, and sweet summer peel. ヒロ☀️
Asahi rice from Okayama Prefecture🌾.
Low sweetness and refreshing taste.
Light and fresh on the palate and refreshing on the throat.
The sake🍶 is as light and fresh as it says, so it is a little lighter than other packaged sake🧐. ヒロ☀️
Omachi🌾 produced in Okayama Prefecture
It has a robust sweetness and strength 💪.
The aroma and ginjo aroma are also mellow and thick 😊.
A very solid and drinkable sake 😄. keitaThis year I was able to purchase both MOUNTAIN and SEA, so I opened the bottle from MOUNTAIN.
It has a strong freshness, sweetness and bitterness are mild, and the acidity is well pronounced.
It was a refreshing bottle perfect for the lingering summer heat. RecommendedContentsSectionView.title
