Glad to drink this again this year 🥹.
Opened the bottle after letting it sit for a little more than 6 months 🍾.
Fruity and refreshing acidity✨
It tastes like something between wine and sake.
It can be paired with a wide range of food 👼.
It's amazing that they can make such a delicious sake in between making wine 😳.
Obuse-san's main business, wine 🍷, is also excellent, but I've only had red wine, so I'd like to compare white wine and this one 😋.
Good evening, Mr. Hissan. I found out after I bought it last year that this place used to make sake. I drank it thinking that the DNA of sake brewing was still alive. I believe that the taste of sake includes the persistence and history of the brewery. I think it's the taste of sake.
Good evening, AAJI 😀
Yes, it used to be a sake brewery.
After going through the wine making process, I think that's why Sogape has the unique taste that it has today: ☺️
I hope you will continue to make sake as well, which is your origin 🙏.
Good evening, Master J&N 😃.
I can't buy Shinshu sake like Shinshu Kamerei or Kawanakajima Genmai here, but I'm grateful to have the opportunity to drink this one 🥹.
I'd like to visit Obuse's hometown too 😆.

Is Numeroan surprisingly sweet and sour?
I thought it was a bit sour in the first glass or two.
As the temperature rises, the sweetness is more noticeable.
However, the lingering bitterness is quite strong.

As usual, I'm not sure when to open it.
I opened it on a day when there was an Italian menu to look at.
The nose is wine-like acidity, muscat.
When you drink it, it is chili chili with soft rice sweetness and wine-like acidity. It is sweet and delicious, but light and easy to drink.
I thought it would become sweeter with the passage of time, but it turned out to be more refreshing. While it is rich and sweet, it has a wine-like acidity that keeps it from becoming too deep.
Delicious with cheese.
After a week, it suddenly became a juicy Muscat!
At first, the sweetness seems to deepen, but then it takes a sharp turn and breaks off with the sweet-sourness of the muscat. It is also delicious!
I could drink it slowly and enjoy the taste change 🍶.
Good morning Jay & Nobby, ☀️
What a surprise, the sogape season is coming soon 😳 Please come to Tokyo for the arrival date! Please come to Tokyo for the arrival date 💪✨.
I think it still has a wine-like quality, so it went well with Italian food 🍝😚.
The taste is so different from sake that it is almost like a white wine. It has a sweet aroma but a strong acidity that refreshes the palate. It is a sake that can be served with both Japanese and Western food.
This is a very well balanced Ria from Sogapé that has been aged for several years. I have the impression that Lia is a very well-balanced liquor, but I wanted to experiment to see what would happen if I let it age for a few years (I can't really say that I just missed the timing to drink it)! (I can't really say that I just missed the timing to drink it)
It has a floral aroma. When you drink it, a honey-like sweetness spreads along with the aroma. I feel like I can make friends with butterflies when I drink this kind of sake.
The bitterness is about 3.5 out of 10, so it is a very good accent. It has a presence like honey in curry with a little more of it.
It seemed to be similar in direction to Shinshu Kamerei, which I was drinking just before. Both are good sakes with a tropical aroma reminiscent of the tropics in a refined manner.
It is good to drink right away, and it is also good to let it sit for a year or so. I think it is best to let it sit for a year or so.
Hello flos_lingua_est 🌞.
Thank you for 4.5 years of work ✨️
But is it around 1 year? Does it get heavy? 🤔
I've been putting it to bed since last year and I'm hoping to reach enlightenment soon too lol.
Good evening, Mr. Matsuchiyo🌙
It will be a little heavier. If you want to enjoy it, you should let it sleep for a long time! From my experience, I think the best balance is about 1 year 😌.
The fifth drink at Kagura's standing bar
The slight aroma is of aged grapes🍇 and the mouthfeel is mellow. It has a rich honey sweetness, and the acidity is well balanced, making it easy to drink.
Like the Trois, it is well balanced, but with more sweetness and heaviness ✨.
The rest will come later.
Good evening, ichiro18 😌.
I'm so jealous that you're having soga festivals in a row 😆✨.
I'd love to try them, but I can't seem to find a store near me that has them all 😭.
I'll try to find one 😋.
Hi, Afuio 😃.
I also found out about this store last month, so it's interesting to explore 😃.
This time I happened to put out 5 bottles so I was lucky with the timing 🥰 I'm sure you can find it 🥰.
Hi Hiro 😃
I'm surprised you didn't drink 😳 but I'm sure Hiro-san would drink today if he wanted to 😁This place is good because they have rare sake if you choose not to drink standing up...but the price is great...
Hello, Pinoko 😃
I'll check out Kagura's standing bar on Instagram to see what's available, but if you're not a big drinker, you can order and drink as much as you want at your seat without the all-you-can-drink limit ✨.
The fourth drink at Kagura's standing bar
The aroma was almost imperceptible. The mouthfeel is mild. It has a sweetness like a thick honey 😳Murayu. The acidity comes in slowly and finishes it off.
I felt the sweetness was the thickest ✨.
The third drink at the standing bar Kagura-san
It has a subtle aroma of aged grapes, with a full-bodied sweetness that sticks to the tongue. The sweetness is somewhat like Omachi, with a hint of acidity and a mild bitterness in the aftertaste.
I felt that it is characterized by its full-bodied sweetness 🤔.
The second drink at standing bar Kagura-san
By the way, Sogape-san is a completely self-serve standing bar with a cork, so you have to pull the cork out yourself 🤣.
The aroma is not that strong, but it smells like matured grapes 🍇. It has a full-bodied sweet and sour taste with a good balance of acidity. I also felt a little bit of gas.
It was the most well-balanced of all the wines we drank this time 😍.
Good morning, ichiro18 😃.
Sogape 😍I'm the first one you want to bring to our house right now ‼️ You might want to check it out drinking outside and then aim to buy it 🤗I can't wait to bring it 🥹.
Hi Jay & Nobby 😃
Drinking outside is great because you can try different things! It helps me to find out what I like 😃Sogape home drinking is a bit of a hurdle, but I'm rooting for Jay & Nobby to bring you along 😃.
The first drink of standing Kagura
I had a day off today and had nothing to do, so I decided to go out for a drink! I found 5 bottles of sogape on the all-you-can-drink menu at the standing bar Kagura that I visited the other day.
I adjusted the amount because all-you-can-drink is dangerous and I was exhausted last time, but this time I had a good time drinking 🥰.
Muscat? It smells like matured grapes🍇. The hint of aroma is also grape🍇. It has a beautiful mouthfeel, with a clear, gentle sweetness that naturally disappears along with sourness and bitterness.
The aroma is the strongest of the five bottles.
Good evening, ichiro18!
Drinking outside on a day off is a blissful time. ⤴️
I'm sure you'll have a great time drinking outside on your day off!
It looks very beautiful and easy to drink 🤤.
Sogapé is a sake I would like to drink someday 😋.
Good morning, ichiro18 😃.
Awesome! A comparison of 5 different sogape drinks 🫢.
I've never come across one 💦 so I'm jealous 😅I bet it's delicious 🤤I'll definitely put it on my to-drink list 📝.
Hi ma-ki-😃
I drank as much as I could, even though I thought it was dangerous to drink as much as I could 😅Sogape is like a white wine in some parts and it's delicious! I didn't get a chance to drink it very often so I took the opportunity to drink it here ✨.
Hi Hina Hana Mama 😃.
I took the plunge because I don't see many places serving 5 kinds 🥰It's not spicy, but it's drinkable and delicious ✨It's not easy to find, isn't it? I hope you will be able to find it too!
Good evening ichiro18 🌝.
What a luxury 😍 to be able to compare 5 different kinds of Sogapale!
It's delicious and tastes like white wine since it's sake made by a winery 🥺 ☺️
I would love to drink it at home sometime 🥺.
Good evening, Chirsta 😃.
I like to drink it at home! I'd like to take the time to taste and review it... it's hard to find, but Sogape's label on the back states the quality guarantee expiration date, and I'd like to drink it within the expiration date ✨.
Good evening...
When I was there, they had run out of one bottle and there were only 4 bottles. But it's impressive to be able to compare drinks 😄.
Drinking alone makes me tongue-tied 💦.
Good evening Ane 😃
I see you were there on the same day 😳It's a four-pack so it runs out quickly 😅It's great to compare hard-to-find sake 👍I was so tongue-tied last time so I regretted it and compared half a glass this time 😁.
When I looked at the sake menu at a soba izakaya, I saw something unusual, so I ordered it.
Obuse Winery makes this sake in the off-season.
This time it was the No.6 yeast version.
Yummai 😀👌
