Soga numerosis. I opened the package on the pretext of my wife's birthday 🍶.
The acidity is very effective, as is typical of No. 6 yeast. It has a moderate sweetness on the palate, and the sweetness and acidity give the impression of a trendy sake.
On the other hand, compared to Shinmasa, which is also made with No. 6 yeast, it has a little more sake-like character, or alcohol and umami. This tendency seems to become stronger after opening the bottle, so it is better to drink it as soon as possible.
It is fruity and easy to drink, but has just the right amount of complexity and bitterness typical of sake brewing.
I would like to buy it again next year if it is available.
How many years has it been?
White wine
No.6 yeast, "kamishige" yeast!
But of course, the acidity and bitterness are different from those of Shinmasa!
It's been a long time since I've had such a good wine!
The sweetness is moderate....
I think Fuji has the best balance.
This is my second bottle of Numérosis this year, this time a normal lot. The aroma and complex flavor give it depth, and the well-balanced acidity enhances the flavor.
Tasty, flavorful, and delicious.
The sake bottle and the sweet and sour fruit make you forget that it is sake!
It is also a wonder that the food that goes well with sake still goes well with it!
Stylish with a wine-like appearance and name! Mellow and fruity at first? But the astringent aftertaste has a dry sake-like quality, creating a gap between the two. It goes well with strong snacks.
The 4th Regular Sake Sharing Party: Bring Your Own Sake (Part 1)
I have been curious about Sogape for a long time.
My friend opened it for me while struggling with the cork stopper.
It was not as fizzy as I thought it would be!
And more white wine than I expected... but it's a good sake 🍶.
If you like Ponshu-like Ponshu, you may be confused, but I felt this brand is definitely pushing the possibilities of Ponshu ✨.
This time it was #6, but I'd love to try other yeast versions 😋!
Nagano sake continues.
Today we had Numero Anne from Sogapeur Effice.
Numero Anne is a sake brewed with Kyokai No. 1 yeast, a yeast isolated from Sakura Masamune's sake mother in Kyoto during the Meiji era (1868-1912), and distributed by the Brewers Association decades ago. Currently, it is only used by a very small number of breweries, including Obuse Winery, Sakura Masamune, the brewery where it originated, and Kinoshita Sake Brewery, which also brews Tamagawa in Kyoto. The Ilya Thornton [IL Y A 100 ANS] we received last year was a mixed fermentation of No. 1 and No. 2, but this is the first time we have received a single No. 1.
The manufacturer's quality assurance period ended yesterday, and after today, the aroma and taste may become super maniacal. I don't know because I have nothing to compare it with, but I would like to think it was the best timing because it was very tasty.
I wrote the other day that Shinshu Kamerei is a sake that can be enjoyed without hesitation, but I have the impression that Sogapère Ephis is a sake to be savored as if you were checking it out with a sip. The taste is complex and subtle, with a strong umami and acidity typical of sake yeast, and has a depth that allows you to discover something new each time you sip it.
It goes well with Western food, and was a perfect match with carbonara pasta.
Cork stopper.
A slight chili sensation on the tip of the tongue, a medium to slightly sweet white wine grape-like taste... a clear, mild sweetness with the unique acidity and richness of the sake yeast, and a soft, bitter sake-like taste... delicious ✨.
It was worth waiting in line to get it 😭.
For me, I enjoyed the taste of sake with salty food rather than soy sauce or strong sauce 😚.
Hi Muro 🐥.
Wow 🤩D Senpai's range and spirit is amazing ✨ I took the plunge since the quality guarantee expired on May 31st 🤗 It was uniquely delicious 🤭.
Hi Kotori 😃
I like it 🥹 we want to get it too even if we have to stand in line 🤗 looks delicious 😋.
You have a lot of reach for the Prefectural Association! I'm looking forward to it: ‼️
Hi Jay & Nobby 🐥.
It was so heartbreaking to sit on a folding chair for a bit while waiting 😢If you two had stood in line, you could have gotten 2 bottles 🤭Again, next season? 🤔I'm sure we'll find some master's secret sake or something in Tokyo or Chiba...
Good morning, Tsubu 🐥.
What a mysterious ⁇✨ mixed fermentation of 6 different yeasts and the natural world〰︎🥹 I've finally got my hands on some and it's doubled in deliciousness! You have a depth of acidity 🥰 Hopefully next season we can pick up some undranked Sogape 🤗.

Sogapère et Fis is a hard-to-find brand. I had been saving it for a special occasion, but when the expiration date approached, I opened the bottle in a hurry.
The aroma was faint, and when I took a sip, I felt a unique and indescribable sourness. It may be addictive.
If I have a chance, I would like to drink another yeast.
If I can buy it...
