IwashimizuMARS 2023 Harmonie生酒

Natsu
Iwashimizu MARS 2023. 50% koji rice. Stable enough to understand why it is often picked up for drinking alone. The fresh fruity sweetness that is typical of Iwashimizu rises up in a straightforward manner, and the mouthfeel is smooth. The sweetness alone does not push it over the edge, but the clear acidity and slight bitterness that appears in the middle of the bottle keeps the whole structure tight and does not let you down as you continue drinking. The balance between gorgeousness, transparency, and drinkability is very good, and while it can be enjoyed without hesitation, it is a bottle that gives a strong sense of the Iwashimizu character.

Mimurosugi35 高橋活日命に捧ぐ純米大吟醸

Natsu
Mimuro Sugi 35 Dedicated to Katsuhi Takahashi's life. At a friend's house, compared with Shinsei Colors Ash (Suiboku). This bottle is dedicated to Katsunichimei Takahashi, a sake brewing god enshrined in the Miwa area and said to be the oldest living toji (master brewer). The result is a masterpiece that lives up to its narrative. Even before pouring it into a glass, the floral aroma that rises to the surface is simply wonderful. The taste is very gorgeous and gorgeous, with a rich and impressive spread of sweet and sour tones. In contrast, the Ash has a more minimalist and refined expression, with a delicate acidity and a meticulous bubbly feel that is typical of the Colors series. It was a good comparison of two modern sakes that clearly showed the difference in direction.

IWASHIMIZU Éclipse 2022. It will be pressed in 2022 and aged at -5°C for about 3 years. 200 bottles per year will be sold in a 10-year plan. The koji ratio is 50%. The taste has a gorgeous sweetness reminiscent of fruits and flowers typical of Iwashimizu, followed by a slight bitterness and clear acidity in the latter half. While it has the thickness and depth that comes from aging, it is not heavy and is very easy to drink. This is good. This is a bottle that you will want to spend a lot of time chasing after.

Natsu
Abe Shuzo x Nemoto Sake Brewery Private Bottle Tank #1. A bottle that had been talked about on SNS and I was curious to hear that it tastes similar to a unicorn. It is an experimental design in which aged sake lees shochu is added to sake at the timing of the kijoshu brewing process. When we actually drank it, we found that the composition was highly complete, with a dense, core acidity coexisting with a moderately sweet, elegant sweetness. It is just delicious. Recently, the number of distributors of Abe Sake Brewery has been increasing, and I have the impression that the range of expression of their sake brewing is expanding more and more. I would like to continue to support this brewery.

Daimine 2 grains Aizan. Aizan has a very good balance of sweet and sour, and is smooth on the palate. It is very easy to drink, with no sticking points. The sweetness that is typical of Aizan is expressed honestly, making it an easy to understand and delicious bottle.

A friend of mine gave me some of his precious sake to share with you! There is no picture of the package, so I drank it believing in the contents of the small bottle 🍶 lol It is a sake made by a winery, so I got the impression that it has a refreshing sweetness, but with a high alcohol content that leaves a lingering aftertaste! I still have about half of it, so I'll drink a little bit at a time! LOL! It is also different from conventional sake in that it is brewed in wine facilities, has a rich aroma like white wine, and is sold in white wine bottles. It is very rare and difficult to obtain due to its limited production time and short quality assurance period of 3 to 5 months. Sake is not sold directly, and if you wish to purchase it, it is very important to be persistent and frequently check the information of the distributors. Sogapère Ephis is characterized by the use of Association No. 1 to No. 6 yeasts and the use of sake brewing techniques. In particular, yeasts No. 1 to No. 5 were thought to have disappeared with the times, but Obuse Winery preserved them for 70 years. Each brand has produced unique flavors that make the most of the characteristics of each yeast. The sake rice used is Miyamanishiki grown in Nagano Prefecture."

This is also one half of a two-bottle set of sake that I got through the Furusato tax payment. This one is dry, clear, and has no aftertaste, just like Niigata sake, and I loved it as a food sake. I recommend drinking it in early spring because it was the best match with firefly squid.

純米の虜
This is a sake that we got through our hometown tax payment. It has a sweet fruity aroma and the perfect amount of richness. It was a set of two one-bottle bottles, so it took some time to finish it, but from the time it was sealed until the second half of the bottle, it was delicious without any drop in flavor.

One of the gifts 🍶. The toji at Kikuchi Brewery is a violinist and conductor, so he plays Mozart's music in the brewery during the brewing process, which is also a feature 🎵🍶🍶. The exterior is a shiny crystal with light gold tints. The aroma is calm and gorgeous. Fruity ethyl caproate ginjo aroma and acacia slightly overflowing from the glass. Freshness like chervil and fresh greens, with very faint hints of laurel and mushroom maturity. The rice aroma is elegant and about the same as Kamishinko. Extremely smooth and silky texture. The beautiful sweetness of the rice is well perceived, and the fine acidity is gentle and well blended. While the freshness of the alcohol passes from the palate to the nose, there is also a fruity hint of incense, and towards the end, the rice aroma becomes richer as the flavor expands. The bitterness of the full-bodied flavor typical of Yamadanishiki is present when swallowing, but the final taste is smooth and crisp, as is typical of daiginjos. The lingering aftertaste is gradually medium-long. As is typical of daiginjos made from Yamadanishiki, it is fruity, with a sweet umami of rice and a sense of calmness, but it also has a good sharpness and lingering finish. I felt a slight sense of maturity characteristically, which was also enjoyable and tasteful. It was an intoxicating sake 🍶.

I couldn't resist buying it, attracted by the eye-catching blue bottle and the beauty of the morsels submerged in it! The aroma is not fruity, but slightly sweet✨. Mild sweetness in the mouth. How graceful! And a creamy, milky nigori rice flavor. Transparency in the beginning, and as you continue drinking, oh my! It's so rich 😮. The rice flavor is softly expanding. The rice flavor is a result of the Yamahai brewing process. And it has a smooth texture on the tongue. Easy to drink! I'm looking forward to drinking it with dinner today ✨.
