Kameizumi Junmai Ginjo Hara Sake.
The juicy, freshly harvested pineapple flavor spreads while the beautiful acidity finishes the taste with a firm kick!
Ni-Utsuri Junmai Yamadanishiki Rokujugo Activated Nigori.
The label is a collaboration of a rabbit and a gorilla. It has a vigorous and piquant fizzy feeling, perfect for a toast!
This is one of the heavier sakes we received at the restaurant. The color of the sake is a little brownish, and expectations are high because it is a triple-star.
The taste is of a type that brings out the full flavor of the rice, and rather than being fruity, it is more like a vinegar that is not sour. It has a strong flavor impact because it is a pure sake.
I think this kind of vinegar tastes good even when it is heated. I also think it will not be defeated by strong flavors such as steak.
Izakaya: Platstand Hashiwa
At an izakaya (Japanese-style bar), I asked for a clear, sweet wine, and the one I got was Kangiku's Monochrome. I was sure it would be Kangiku. It is an unfiltered, unfiltered, raw sake with a slightly low alcohol content of 15%.
It tastes sweet, but it is a type of sake that is easy to drink. I am sure there was some carbonation immediately after opening the bottle, but this one was probably a little after opening and there was no carbonation. But it is refreshing and tasty. I didn't notice much bitterness in the aftertaste.
It is refreshing and fruity, so I am sure that people who are not used to sake will enjoy it.

This is what I got as a result of ordering a thick sweet sake at an izakaya I happened to enter. The specs are for a honjozo with a sake degree of -30. This is sweet no matter what you think.
When I drank it, it was still sweet! It was a rich sweetness, more like the sweetness of rice than fruit. I felt this would be too sweet if warmed up, so I felt it was best to drink it cold. I did not feel much alcoholiness.
It was a sake with a flavor I have never had before, but it was very tasty.

The fourth cup is honored chrysanthemum.
It was the sake I had never had before and secretly wanted to drink the most😌.
I was finally able to drink it👍.
Lactic and grapefruit, which I imagined from your review. Refreshing bitterness.
It was a very attractive sake just as I imagined it would be, but it was just opened in the mouth, so if there are any changes from here, I would like to find out the true value of it.
For the third glass, I followed the pairing suggestion.
Deep-fried taro with Yamagata Masamune's Inazo.
I thought it would be a simple sake, but it was more modern than I imagined, but it matched with fried taro👍.
Yamagata Masamune is also served at "Daihashi" in Kitasenju, one of the three major stew restaurants in Tokyo.
About 14 years ago, at a liquor store called Liquor Port Kuraya in Machida, there was a tasting event where several breweries participated and I had a chat with the brewer of Yamagata Masamune.
I remember that the brewer's last name was Mr. Mitobe, and he said that he was called by a nickname, Inazo, which rhymed with Nitobe Inazo.
The daughter of the brewer of "Chiyo no Hikari" in Niigata came to the tasting, but she later married into the Jikin brewery, so she is now the wife of the Toji Onishi.
It was very nostalgic.
Hello, Mr. Hirakucho.
Daytime drinking - it's fun!
I've been to Ohashi before.
I've been to Daihashi before. The meat tofu is so good! Tofu that's soaked in flavor~ It's the best!
