Wakaze, brewed with French rice and rice malt using Japanese techniques
The flavor, which is very different from that of Japanese rice, is new, and the label design shows the global spirit of this up-and-coming sake brewery.
This brewery is amazing in that it has two locations because overseas demand is growing.
Kojima Sohonten has breweries in France and Yamagata Prefecture.
The idea is innovative, and while the investment may be quite large, I think the direction is absolutely accurate.
It seems that France is brewed in France with rice and water, and Yamagata Prefecture is brewed in Yamagata Prefecture with ingredients from Yamagata Prefecture.
The malted rice is white and the alcohol content is 13 degrees.
The sake rice is Yamagata Prefecture's Tsuyahime.
As a junmai sake lover, what's good is that the rice polishing ratio is 90%‼️.
I can't predict the taste anymore😅.
Now, let's try the actual sake ️.
Color →Slightly kohaku color? It's about a little bit.
Aroma →Aroma with a graininess typical of junmai sake.
Taste →I thought it would be a classic sake that can be paired with anything, but it's not at all 🫢.
It's an aperitif to be enjoyed on its own 😂.
It's unexpectedly sweet and has a nice taste. Is it the white malted rice?
To say the least, it's insanely delicious 😋 I love it ❤️.
It's amazing that they can make it this good with 90% polished rice.
I was surprised because it was so unexpected.
However, when I drank it with dumplings, I could only taste the alcohol taste of the sake, so the taste died. So I think it is best to drink it as an aperitif.
This is a great sake for beginners 😏✨.
Please try it 💁♂️✨
Personal note

How to drink】Cold, before, during and after meals
Percentage] Undisclosed (100% Camargue rice, France)
Yeast used
Sake meter] - [Sake meter
Acidity
Amino Acidity
Alcohol content] 13.0
Production Date] 2022.02
Appearance] Slightly yellow and transparent, without thickening.
Taste: ★★★★☆] It has a clean, slightly sour aroma like white wine. In the mouth, a clear acidity like that of grapes and a subtle umami of rice spread out and quickly disappear. After swallowing, there is a hint of acidity as well. The aftertaste is full in the back.
Throat feeling: ★★★★☆] It is like water.
Change over time: ★★★★☆] The acidity decreases, and the sweetness and richness become stronger, giving it a sake-like character.
Comment] Overall, the impression is that you are drinking a thin white wine. I had previously had sake with wine yeast, which also tasted like white wine. This sake is made with rice and rice malt from France, but it tastes like white wine. Why? Do we have preconceived notions? Or is it destined to be like this?
[Overall evaluation] ★★★★☆
Happy New Year!
Everyone is posting their best sake, and it's just too boring to share, so I've opened this one from Ofuransu.
I'm not sure if it's a botanical, or if it's more like a gin. By the way, it seems to be wine yeast!
I thought it might be citrusy because of the lemon and verbena, but it is surprisingly creamy and smells like a candy high lemon!
The taste is very light, and the acidity is the main ingredient. The alcohol content is low, and to be honest, it does not seem to be very drinkable. It is an interesting alcoholic beverage that can be drunk vigorously.
I wonder if it is sold in France? It is a combination of sake and white wine, and I think it may have been introduced to Europeans because it has a feeling that the caged aroma and alcoholiness unique to sake has been removed.
Rigel, Happy New Year 🎍🐰 and I look forward to working with you this year 🥳WAKAZE is a naughty drink 😆👍✨I will take the liberty of looking at your posts again this year 😁.
Bakk Happy New Year!!!
😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁.
Mr. Rigel
Good evening.
Waka Sei is a novelty, isn't it?
Now that there are several varieties out there, I'm going to try some of the others 👍.
I look forward to working with you again this year.
Happy New Year, Rigel 🎍!
A New Year's pun of the best 🤣.
I'm on my third tour of all the prefectures in Japan and I'm not through with this one 😅.
I think it's time for me to have a drink.
I look forward to working with you again this year 🤲.
Zeekjikon, I look forward to working with you this year 🤗.
I think it's for the light crowd...
Also, the toji is one of the three Imai brothers and I believe he worked at Shinsei 🙄.
MAJ, I look forward to working with you this year 🤗.
I chose the one outside the country for New Year's because I'm a natural 🤣.
WAKAZE is so blurry it hurts my eyes😇.
Chichi, I look forward to working with you again this year 🤗.
I tend to avoid them because of their subtle price and awareness 😚.
I chose it partly to save points for the liquor store ☺️.
Sake made entirely in France with ingredients from France 🇫🇷.
I was curious about it at Seijo Ishii and bought it for New Year's. I thought it would be like wine from the reviews, but it was more like sake than I expected.
I thought it would be like wine from the reviews, but it was more like sake than I expected. It is half sake and half white.
The aroma of sake is faint on the nose, but when you drink it, it has a wine-like flavor, which is strange. And it's a pure rice sake. Strange!
Immediately after opening the bottle, you can feel the freshness of white wine, but as it comes into contact with the air, it gradually becomes a normal sake.
The taste as a sake is like a one-cup type (is it called Junmai Ginjo?).
If you are expecting a fruity sake like Hachisen or Kaze no Mori, you may be disappointed!
It has a lot of buzz, but to be honest, I only liked the first sip.

This sake is brewed at the brewery "KURA GRAND PARIS" in Paris, France, with rice, yeast, and water all produced in France.
It is brewed with Prugol white wine yeast and has a characteristic citrus acidity.
It is not an exaggeration to say that we have already made a white wine with rice! It is no exaggeration to say 😎.
If you drink it in a wine🍷bar without being able to show the label with your stupid tongue, you will never know it's SAKE 😂.
The specs seem a bit high for Japanese, but the taste is enjoyable enough👍
Now I have to decide whether to choose a white wine or this SAKE 😜.
Hi 3KAN4ON😃
I don't know which part of Tochigi prefecture you are in, but there are many good liquor stores❗️
In the northern part of the prefecture, there's Saito Sake Shop in Otawara City.
Near Utsunomiya, there are Megada Sake-ten, Yamahito Sake-ten, Yodogawa Sake-ten, Hitomi Sake-ten
In Sakura City, there is Kenmoku Shoten which is small but has rare sake, in Mibu City, there is the famous "Mashidaya" and in Kanuma City, there is Kobayashi Sake Shop.
Thank you for all your help, Jay & Nobby 😊.
My in-laws live in Oyama City and we go to Fukudaya Interchange to buy clothes for my daughter, so if it's near there, it would be Mashidaya Sake Shop.
Last year I went to Saito Sake Shop and it was 2 hours from Oyama!
Isn't it sake for tax purposes?
But since I was able to register on this site at WAKAZE.
Oh well!
It tastes great!
Mr. Tsuchida is a sake brewer.
to make it into sake.
koji 99% was released.
It was delicious.
In this post, I'd like to share with you how we
I got to the all koji "sake."
I knew it was good!
As is the case with shochu.
All koji, all koji...
It's so good!
I will always keep my eyes on it.
My wife left for Osaka city to get a qualification related to her work ✈️I love Osaka and admire her self improvement at her age 😌️It is a difficult exam, but if she passes it, she will go to Osaka often next year❗I will do my best to support her👍
My colleague visited my home with one of his juniors for a consultation 🏠️ I told him that there was a bottle of sake like white wine for his colleague who likes Machida Sake Brewery❗Is this sake? I'd like to invite him to the sake swamp 😁.
Good morning, Noodle... I still haven't had Wakase ❗️something with anko? or some mysterious one 🤣? You are doing whatever you want because you don't have a wife⁉️.
Good morning, Brother Noodle King 😃.
I haven't had wakaze either 😅.
Maybe I should start drinking it soon because they might raise the price due to the weak yen...
Good to have more swamp friends👍
Good morning, Mr. Manachy 😃.
I've already reported to my wife that I'm going to drink at home ❗I wonder what will happen if she finds out later 💦What she's doing rather than me! She sent me a picture of her eating Machinuka in Osaka and it looked delicious 🎵
Good morning, fellow Haruei Chichi 😃.
It's hard to get more swamp friends 😫I asked young people about their impression of sake and they said it's like a punishment game 😅I want to dispel the bad impression by recommending a variety of good sake🙆.
Good morning, Mr. Noodle Sake King!
Your wife's upward mobility is wonderful 👏 I want to travel to Osaka too 😆.
WAKAZE's white winey flavor is delicious too 😋.
Hi kino.😃
My wife called me to tell me that the exam was so difficult that she wanted to cry 😫I will comfort her when she gets home 😏She wants to finish the exam quickly and have a beer, so I think the weight will go there 😓.
Good evening, Mr. Noodle King 🌙
Your wife sounds wonderful! Have a drink with her when you get back💕Junior, I'm sure I can drag you into the swamp 😁Good drinking is the first thing to do 😆👍
Good morning, Noodle Sake King 😃Wakaze is delicious. I drank it last year and enjoyed it so much I'd like to have it in my house, but I haven't yet because I have my eyes on other things💦.
I hope your wife passes the test safely 😄.
Good morning, Pon 😃.
I would like to respect your will to study ❗I would be so mad to want to study even at this age 😵💫I will make my juniors fall into the drinking swamp 🎵
Good morning, Mr. Wakata 😃.
This WAKAZE was won by another junior colleague at a sake party we had last month ❗ It's been a while since I've had it but it's delicious 😋My wife passed and I can't wait to get my souvenir sake 😁.
My daughter gave me this sake as a gift on the day of my marriage, Sunday, July 28, 2021. I like both sake and wine, and she chose this sake because it combines the best of both. It was a great sake that made me think that the genre of sake is meaningless. It was a gem of a sake that made me think, "What's the point of genres anymore?
Forgot to post last year💦.
I was out drinking and wrote a quick note.
I was going to organize and post it later 😅
But I never got around to it 😅.
So, from that one note
As well as the regular THE CLASSIC and
Just like THE CLASSIC summer version
smells like bread 🍞😳.
Tastes like wine and sake 🥂✨.
Good evening, Yuka-Chin 🌙
I drink so many different kinds of drinks outside that I have to take simple notes or I won't be able to recognize them later 😅 I hope Yuka-chan can also feel the unique bread aroma of WAKAZE 😆💕.
Both rice and rice malt are labeled as Yamagata Prefecture-grown Tsuyahime, and the alcohol level is 12 degrees.
As a doburoku lover, I was impressed to encounter something made locally.
Pouring it into a glass, I could tell it was doburoku. There was a warning label on the bottle to be careful when opening the bottle, but the bottle was opened mildly. The delicate carbonation in the mouth is delightful.
The taste is refreshing, with an impressive yogurt-like acidity at first, but it is not too heavy and you can also enjoy the umami of the rice.
