I had to get up at 5am.
Digesting the postings I've accumulated because I can't sleep 🤣.
I've had Yamamoto a few times.
This is the first time I'm calling it NEXT 5😍.
This is the first time it has been labeled NEXT 5 😍 It uses the same sake rice and yeast as Pure Black, so the specifications are upwardly compatible.
It has the same sake rice and yeast as Pure Black, so it has upwardly compatible specs👍.
The aroma is clean and citrusy😃.
The aroma is clean and citrusy 😃It's a bit on the light and dry side.
It is easy to drink with a hint of sweetness 😋.
I can also taste the rice flavor.
It's a little bit light because it's so crisp 🤔.
The acidity and bitterness in the aftertaste gives it a very nice sharpness.
It is a very typical Yamamoto sake 😆.
Good morning, etorannzyu!
I was lucky enough to drink this one too✨
It was a bit expensive, but the acidity was typical of Yamamoto-san and it was refreshing 😋.
Hello etorannzyu 😃.
Are you well rested❓
The rush to post is as good as it gets👍
I'm not sure if I'll be able to post more soon...
I didn't get a chance to post during GW, so I'm going to get back into it now: ❗️
Good evening Mr. Manachy😃.
I'm working early mornings this week so it's hard to get up 😭
Not only is the bottle beautiful, but the contents of the drink are very beautiful 😍.
Good evening, Yucachin 😃.
All the bottles in this issue are stylish and beautiful 😊.
I've already got rid of them but the design looks like it could be used as a vase 😍.
Haruei Chichi, good evening 😃.
I haven't rested much 😰.
I'll refresh myself with good sake for not being able to rest 😍.
I still have a lot of things to do so let's both digest them gradually👍
Good evening, Mr. Sashiu😃.
This is the first time for me to try NEXT 5 😊.
It's really a typical Yamamoto sake, but I imagine it's more elegant and beautiful 🎶.
In fact, I have a blue one in stock 😎.
Aged for 5 years in the Isshaku Suisei brewery from the 2017 Harvest, this sake is said to be aged in ice temperatures below 0 degrees Celsius.
The aroma reminds me of gentle white sugar and sweetness like canned white peaches. There is also a slight raw material aroma like rice cakes.
The taste has a smooth texture with a somewhat powdery mouthfeel. The sweetness is subdued and the attack is refreshing, but from the second half, the flavor develops with acidity. The lingering finish is tangy and slightly bitter. The ice-aged sake has not undergone any Maillard reaction, and if one were not told, one would not think it had been aged at all.
Sake from Isshuikusuisei is generally clean and refreshing, with a firm sharpness in the latter half, but this one has a juicy umami aftertaste. Whether this is due to aging or NEXT5 is unknown.
April 6: The third bottle.
Some kind of sake that I wouldn't (or couldn't) buy myself, one after another.
It's a lucky day.
I drank it in a wine glass, but there was almost no carbonation, and it was refreshing with little sweetness.
After a while, it tasted sour and almost like a white wine.
I drank Isshaku Suisei from the same series
but the Shinsei version
but the Shinmasa version
Is it a characteristic of the sake brewery?
It seems to have a lot of acidity.
The first impression when you first drink it is mellow.
As time goes by, the flavor spreads and becomes richer.
Personally, I think it is my favorite among the five types.
Each brewery made their own rice, unifying it with the Akita rice "Koudou Shinkou," but it was very interesting because of its individuality.
And the bottles are so stylish!
Sake meeting with senior sales staff at AKATSUKI NO KURA.
We had a heated conversation about how to nurture a rich sense of inner values from now on.
Next five is a collaboration of five different Akita sake breweries.

Sake with a refreshing taste, easy to drink, and in line with recent trends. The bottles are so beautiful that it is hard to believe they are sake bottles.
Sake that looks good.
Looks like my son is finally fully healed 😆👍.
It's been a long time since Christmas 💦.
I'm so glad that he's recovered from the gastroenteritis caused by the adenovirus ❓.
At least we have one last bottle of premier sake in our house‼️.
I've never had next5 or Ippakusuisei before 🤗.
Anyway, I can't get rid of this bottle because it looks so stylish 💦.
So let's open the bottle!
The aroma is fruity and the taste is sweet and delicious 🍎, and the acidity is beautiful, so it's easy to drink and refreshing 👍It's more suitable for a mealtime drink than a stand-alone drink 😄.
Good evening, Koizo😄.
I'm really relieved 🤣I was worried because I was vomiting until the day before yesterday💦This is expensive 😅I could buy two bottles of other brands at this price 😅I wouldn't have bought it if it wasn't for the event 😅.
Good evening, Masa-san.

I haven't been able to get my hands on this NEXT5 yet as I haven't been able to drink Ippaku Suisei yet either 🤣.
Good evening, mamiko!
I'm really glad 🤣 Finally, I can enjoy it slowly 👍I like the white bottles of Yuki no Bijin too 👍I wanted to collect and display all kinds of them if anything 😆👍.
Good evening, Maecin😄
I bought it when I went to the event, but I wanted the new policy version, too, and I was disappointed that it was already sold out 😭
Good evening, Pon-chan😄!
I'm so relieved to see you running around full of energy and talking so much 🤣I'm glad we were able to celebrate your recovery.

Good morning Masa 😃
I'm glad your son is feeling better😊I'm sure it must have been hard during the good time of year 🥲Masan, please drink some good sake to celebrate his recovery and give your son something delicious to eat 😋.

Please see their healthy faces, drink good sake and relax 😊I'm really glad 🥰.
Happy New Year, Masa 🎍.
I'm glad your son is feeling better 😭 spending time with a sick child... that was a tough New Year's 😩.
Colors bottle is so stylish 🎍.
Hi Masa 😌.
I see that the adenovirus also lasts quite a long time. I'm worried if it's too long, but I'm glad you're completely cured. The blue next5 is really cool ✨It's pricey but... 😅I'll have to use the bottle for something 🤔.
Good evening, King of Noodle and Sake😄.
I'm so relieved that you're all better 🤣 It wasn't for a get well celebration, but I enjoyed it with a premier alcoholic beverage, wow!
Good evening, Sieg Jikon😄.
I'm surprised because I didn't imagine it would last this long 💦I'm really glad 😅I can finally enjoy my drinks in peace on the www.
Good evening Rafa papa😄!
I'm relieved to finally be completely healed 😅I'll have a drink❣️and for my son a crispy chicken from Kentucky, which he loves 😆👍
Good evening, Jay & Nobby!

Manachie-san, Happy New Year 🤗Thank you for your support this year 🙇♂️I'm so relieved that you've recovered completely from diarrhea and vomiting since around Christmas 💦I'll keep this bottle in a safe place on the www.
Good evening, Ms. Shiri 😄.
I heard there was an adenovirus outbreak, but I'm surprised it lasted this long 💦I'm really relieved it's completely gone 😅I'm keeping the bottle for now, still have no use for it on the www😅.
Hi Masa!
I'm so glad your son is completely healed 😊.
I heard that Color's by Ippaku Suisei is delicious 😆💕I love the blue 💙 bottle ✨I have a 🤍 bottle of Yuki no Bijin that I can't throw away 🤣.
I was in a lottery sale at sakenomy.
Does it have a certain amount of acidity?
I've never had a lot of Isshaku Suisei, but it's pretty easy to drink.
but it is quite easy to drink.
But it's only 3,800 yen!
Is the bottle price too expensive?
Well, it's an event, so I guess that's how it is.
