Purchased at a tasting event in Ebisu.
Yamada-Nishiki, 60% rice polishing ratio, 15% alcohol (original).
It has a light and refreshing taste.
It is served cold.
100% Miyamanishiki
Polishing ratio 65
Alcohol content 15%.
When I opened the bottle, there were a few bubbles in the bottle, a gaseous taste with a thick Junmai sake-like flavor, and a freshness like green apple (my husband said it was melon... but everyone has their own taste buds 😅).
We had a late breakfast today, so we skipped lunch and came home from the fish shop with some sashimi and started drinking sake right away... from 3pm😁The weather was cloudy and the humidity gauge in the room was at 76%, but it felt good to be doing something that felt like a holiday 😆.
The color is clear, with little ginjo aroma. The aftertaste is also refreshing. It has a strong but refreshing taste, making it suitable for a mid-meal drink. It has less sweetness than the usual Morishima dry sake, but it has acidity and umami like Morishima.
Omachi's plump and mellow flavor and Morishima's crisp and clear sake quality in the latter half.
This is a royal pairing sake that does not interfere with the food. No hassle.
Commentary.
In the sixth year of the Morishima series, a new attempt was made to brew a junmai daiginjo using 100% "Comet," a rice suitable for sake brewing produced in Hokkaido.
We went to Higashikawa-cho in Hokkaido to experience firsthand the characteristics of "Comet" and brew it.
Due to the small number of people involved in this season's brewing, only a limited amount of freshly squeezed, unpasteurized sake will be available for sale.
The taste is smart, with a light umami flavor, accented by a burst of acidity.
The finish is soft and fluffy.
Please enjoy it while feeling the gaseous sensation typical of new sake when the bottle is opened.
It is also delicious.
This is my first Morishima. It is light and dry, with a modest aroma, but the umami of the rice can be felt, and the lingering aftertaste is very gutsy. I had previously thought that "light" meant that it was also light, but it turned out to be wrong. It seemed to go better with fatty meat than light sashimi.
Yamada-Nishiki 60%, 15% alcohol by volume, bottle heated in a hot water bath after bottling.
The stone on the Morishima label is a symbol of fortitude in overcoming difficulties with a piece of Oyaishi stone from the brewery that collapsed in the earthquake, and also seems to mean that they want to be a stone's throw away from sake.
Purchased at the first liquor store I visited.
I am very happy to find all the sake I was looking for.
It is a dry sake and goes well with any meal. ‼️
When I see this sake, I think of Mori Ogai...I wonder why...
100% Omachi
Polishing ratio 50%.
Alcohol content 15
Production date: April 2025
When the bottle is opened, the gas is released and the aroma is clear and mild.
The first sip is full of gaseous, sweet and sour freshness that is typical of sake 👌After that, there is a slight bitterness in the sweetness, so you can drink more and more without getting tired of it while eating 👌.
Special limited edition sake with No. 14 yeast. Last year we compared 3 bottles of regular Omachi and Hi-iri, but this year we are getting less sake so we opened the bottle without waiting for the Hi-iri 😅.

Morishima is delicious no matter what you drink!
The bottle was opened immediately (exciting😊).
The aroma is...well...⁉️ the fruity taste is a bit muted and the atmosphere is a bit different....
The atmosphere is a little different 😅
The bottle says 💦dry 😅So what does it taste like... clean and dry, with a bit of sourness, followed by a spiciness that comes in a flash 😋.
It's a different taste from the Morishima I've had so far, and it's delicious too 😍.
