The third bottle at the sake party was this one, also available!
It has a wine-like acidity and sharpness!
The taste was completely different from the previous two bottles and was well received.
We will be happy if we can find it again next year!

Polishing ratio 59%, alcohol content 14%, 100% Miyamanishiki from Nagano Prefecture
This year we also received wine from Obuse Winery. I used to feel like I was drinking wine when it was in a wine bottle, but this one is definitely sake. The acidity when you taste it has something in common with Shinmasa, which specializes in 6-row yeast. Both Akita and Nagano sake are hard to compare and contrast.
Staying home during Golden Week.
Day 1: Sogga Père et Fils, which I got from a nearby liquor store.
Naturally fermented using non-pesticide Miyama Nishiki rice and yeasts #1 through #6.
An honest flavor where you can taste the umami of the rice.
I won a bottle last year when I entered a lottery, but it had been sitting dormant until today, thinking I would drink it on a special occasion. After going to the gym in the morning and playing catch with my child in the hot weather, I was ready to drink it, so I opened the bottle.
The cork and label gave it a wine-like aroma.
However, the taste is still sake, with a slight effervescence. The taste is lactic and delicious. My wife ran to a nearby supermarket to buy some food, and I'm sure I'll finish it in a day.
I strongly regret that I failed to apply for this year's contest. Kuh
Hi Katsu 😃
Congratulations on your 🎊 win of Sogape 🎉.
Make sure you're well conditioned 😊the flavor exceeds expectations 😋 we'd love to drink it at home too 😍.
Choroki-san gave me this... ♪
I finally opened it after putting it off for some reason👍
The aroma is not very strong.
The acidity on the palate is fruity like white grapes. The astringency of the sharpness is wine-like 🍷.
The taste is a little bit like sake until you swallow it in your mouth!
It's not available around here, so I carefully enjoyed it in one night👍.
I tried it heated, but it is better chilled 🤣.
The third picture is from Menya Ao in Tsukuba City.
Shrimp flavored ramen 🦐.
Shrimp flavored oil, milky miso, pasta-like flat noodles 🍝.
Delicious 😋.
I really wanted to go to Ichikawa in Tsukuba City, but there was a huge line and I gave up 🤣.
Good evening, Mr. Manachy 🌙
Cherish it carefully...you drank it all in one night 🤣 it was delicious 😋I drank another sogape the other day and forgot to heat it up 😖.
This ramen🍜 picture is no good at this hour ‼️🥹
Good evening, Mr. Manachy ^_^
Sogape, I haven't had it yet 😢.
I was looking at your reviews before I went to bed, and some of you mentioned ramen...
I might not be able to sleep thinking about ramen 😁.
Good morning, Manachy: ☀️
Sogape is not available here either 😭
The ramen 🍜 looks delicious 😋💕.
Is the film on the surface of the soup shrimp flavored oil? Sosori all over the place 😆😆😆😆.
T.KISO, sogape...I don't think it's sold in Akita 🤣.
It's prawn spice oil.......................................................smells so good and is the best 😋!
Sake brewed by Obuse Winery ✨
The aroma is a mild ginjo aroma
Sweet and sour and refreshingly delicious!
Refreshing and refreshing, it's perfect for this time of year ✨
With spiced grilled chicken wings.
A rich, beautiful wine with fullness. Fruity sweetness and natural astringency. I wonder if this flavor is derived from Miyamanishiki. Since it is produced by a winery, it tastes somewhat like white wine. While it has a sweetness, my impression is that it is a bit dry. It has a sake-like taste, but it goes down the throat easily.
[Left to compare.
This is Sogapeel with No.1 yeast 🍶.
It's a bit drier than the one with No.6 yeast 🤔.
But if you drink this one with your eyes closed, it's a very tasty, fruity, acidic, ultra-modern sake like a white wine. ☺️
It's not often that I will be able to compare Sogapère, so I slowly and carefully tasted it (∩ ӣ՞∩).
Good evening, Jay & Nobby ( ˘ω˘ )!
That was a super luxurious drinking experience 😋.
I'd like to try it at home too, but I know a store that carries Sogapale, but it's probably not something the public can buy 😅.
[Right side of the comparison
Sogapère Ephis, which I have longed to drink someday, was prepared for the comparison.
I had no choice but to order this one 😊.
We started with the one on the right, the No. 6 yeast 🍶.
The first sip was so fruity and eye-catching that I wondered if it was really sake! It's so fruity that if you drink it with your eyes closed, you'd think it was a white wine.
Clean and clear sake aroma, light umami and acidity, slight bitterness at the back, refreshing after swallowing, another banana and white grape-like taste at the back, but I think it may be pulled by the wine cellar part.
When it was first released, I saw some reviews saying it was still hard...so I let it sit for a bit. I wonder if the flavor is ready to be put into the bottle.
The cork was safely opened.
The aroma is sour, like a white wine. When I smell it from the glass, it has a sweet muscat flavor. It is a little bubbly in the glass.
When you drink it, it is less acidic than the aroma at first, and has a light richness and a light sweetness. It is like being surrounded by grains of sourness. The taste is gradually sweetened, and finally, it is tightened by the acidity.
The wine is full and balanced, yet smooth and weightless throughout, which is a consistent feature.
The next day, the piquancy is gone, but the juicy richness has increased. The wine becomes a little richer, but still has a refreshing, skilful freshness that can be taken to be herbal.
The day after that, it becomes a bit sweeter. For my personal taste, the flavor itself seems to be getting on top of itself right after the bottle is opened.
I was wondering what to do this year, but I'm glad I got it. It was very tasty.
...I drank it so fast that I forgot to heat it up...even though it is a sake made from the same sake yeast....
Good morning, Kotaro 😃.
Mr. Sogape! I'm eager to drink at home 😋 but I haven't met anyone yet 🥲I think I should move instead of waiting 🚙 and go out to visit liquor stores 🤔I hear heated sake🍶 is good too...but I think I'll forget 😅
Hi Jay & Nobby, ☀️
Sogape, it's hard to meet you first 😵💫 Please hit the liquor store on release day 💪🎉!
From what I hear, heated sake is delicious too♨️I'll have to remember to do that next time 🤣.
