[Last year's personal no. 1: 🏆️
The ice-aged version of Gorin Junmai Namaishu, the most memorable sake I drank in 2024, again this year 😁.
The top aroma is not fruity, but rather reminiscent of sweetness in a classical way.
The umami is robust and mellow, with a clear, strong fullness that makes for excellent drinking 👍.
At the end of drinking, you can also taste flavors derived from aging, and this is still to your liking: ‼️
I bought it two years in a row, so it didn't have the same impact as last year, but it is still a convincing product that will never make you regret buying it. ✌️✌️
Year-end party, forget about posting.
A wonderful sake with the hope that customers, restaurants, liquor stores, brewers, and toji can enjoy a dignified relationship. The one that has many opportunities to be drunk in restaurants.
Kurumata-san, a brewery that is also active in supporting Noto.
Kaga Kikusyu, as is typical of the mainstream Yamahai brewing method, comes on strong and finishes with a good acidity. It is a gem that showcases the skill of the Noto toji.
My father said it was unusually good, so I bought a repeat.
I'll have it again.
I knew it would be the best, but it's so refreshing.
The sweetness of the rice flavor spreads.

I like to spend time with Rin.
I bought this Gorin on a recent business trip to Kanazawa, which is a sake made by Kurumata Shuzo.
It is too easy to drink because it is fruity on the palate, but then it goes away like water.
It is a little dangerous because it is too easy to drink! LOL!
A sake brewery in Hakusan City, Ishikawa Prefecture. Whenever I go to Hokuriku, I look for this at liquor stores. I have grown very fond of it. Although it is a junmai daiginjo, you can clearly taste the rice flavor. I thought it had both a clean and crisp taste and a robust rice flavor. A junior colleague of mine who attended Kanazawa University knew that Gorin was delicious. Is it a sake loved by university students as well?
