5/10 Ryoga's summer sake was a dry sake made from Gohyakumangoku. The acidity was strikingly noticeable before the dryness. This was the last sake for the sake party. It was great to have a bowl of hamo and matsutake mushrooms, which is only available this time of year. ☺️

5/10 A hundred year old summer sake with zero ginjo aroma written all over it. It is firm, dry, and sharply drinkable at a sake strength of +12. Although it is a summer sake, it can be enjoyed as a heated sake.

7/10 The last of the Hoshi series, a summer sake from Eiko-Fuji. The fact that it is a summer sake at this time of year and an unfiltered, unpasteurized sake is strong. It is also amazing that it has a strong flavor. It is a strong brewery showing its strength.

5/10 Asahi, a packaged sake. There is also "Bizen Asahi", isn't there? As it says "light fresh", it was a refreshing and crisp sake. I wonder if this is also a summer sake. I was under the impression that it was a bit out of place, though it could be called a packaged sake.

6/10 The most popular item of the day was also the chrysanthemum. The minerality, juiciness, and sweetness made it easy to drink. Low alcohol is popular for its ethyl caproate aroma.

6/10 Sugiyuu's summer sake. The iridocumulus cloud on the label is cute as a cat. It has the acidity and strength typical of a sake made from the traditional sake yeast, and is drinkable as a summer sake. I have no information on this sake, but I wonder where it is sold.

5/10 This day was a sake party. We had mainly summer sake. The first was Raifuku's Ookagata. I didn't know this, but it was produced by a sake YouTuber. The sweetness is sap-like...? I wonder if it is an expression of the giant stag beetle.

7/10 This sake is made entirely from Omachi, and is made using the Bodai yeast method. 1859 means 1859, the year Omachi was first produced. It has a slightly dry and classic taste. It is easy to drink because it is not heavy. It is a little gassy, but you can drink it quickly. It is probably best served cold, but I think it is a sake that can be played with in various ways.

7/10 Summer sake from Nihon Izumi. It's good that it's so clean and refreshing. It is fresh because it is a draft sake, though the 15% alcohol content is a bit lacking. You can feel a little bit of acidity. I think it is a sake that can be easily matched with meals.

6/10 Izumihashi's summer sake. Yago because it is summer sake. 13 because Yago molts 13 times. Then, what is MOMO? It is said to mean peach color, because the noge of the rice used, Jinriki, is peach-colored. What is noge? The questions are endless. It is a low-alcohol sake made from the same sake yeast, so it is easy to drink because of its acidity. It is a light sake, but it also has umami.

7/10 This is a daiginjo-shu from the Origin Series, which recreates the flavor of 150 years of Tedorigawa. I haven't followed Tedorigawa much, so I don't have much of an image of it, but this one had a strong umami and elegant gorgeous flavor. I guess that means it is a good sake.

6/10 Sake made entirely from Misato Nishiki from Hanayu. The taste was much heavier than I had imagined. It was fruity and aromatic, but in the latter half of the bottle, it became astringent and bitter. It has a dry feeling, or rather, a feeling that the alcohol is draining away. I wonder where this flavor comes from.
