Question: Is ARU-TEN* no good?
I feel a lot of people hate it...??

Hmm... I want to change the question.

!?

Question: What are the differences
in the taste?
(among special-designation SAKE)

I'll show the characteristics
of special-designation SAKE's taste, roughly

Roughly again


[Left] Heavy, rich
JUNMAI-DAI-GINJOU: 純米大吟醸
JUNMAI-GINJOU: 純米吟醸
TOKUBETSU-JUNMAI: 特別純米
JUNMAI 純米

[Right] Light, smooth
DAI-GINJOU: 大吟醸
GINJOU: 吟醸
TOKUBETSU-HONJOUZOU: 特別本醸造
HONJOUZOU: 本醸造

Aroma, Smoothness


Again

For 純米 type on the left side,
you can definitely enjoy its natural taste.
Its flavor is stout and rich.
Some people may feel it's "heavy"...
And, the right side is the "ARU-TEN*" ...

Hm-hum.

*ARU-TEN:
SAKE to which grain alcohol is added.

It tends to be more sharp & aromatic
and has a light & clean flavor.
I think it is easy to drink.

Ah! Sounds good...!

And, for both types,
the higher the polishing ratio,
the more aroma and smoothness
you can enjoy.

Light and fresh!!

Furthermore, the top 2 rows GINJOU
(吟醸 type) are brewed especially carefully,
so ...you should think of it as "great SAKE!!"

Great!!
