The fifth glass was Sogapère Ephis! This was another sake I had seen at Sakewa and wanted to try, a 2022 sake. It is made with Association No. 2 yeast.
It has an aroma like a noble rotten grape, a slightly sweet dessert mouthfeel, and a sweetness and flavor like a dessert wine. It was finished with a crisp finish.

Scent is mild yogurt tic
It is a refreshing sake with a crisp, bubbly taste and a light sweetness that finishes dry.
Soga will open in a few days after the dawn of the new year, so we will be waiting for a while.
Today, I went home after preparing for the move with the afterglow of last night's celebration 🚗 My eldest daughter and her husband came to visit.
As we talked, I realized that I hadn't prepared any food for dinner 🍽️, but I invited them to join us for a light meal ❓No, no, a light drink 🍶 and the feast began 😊.
In the celebratory mood, we opened a bottle of "Sogaperuefis," which I had seen at a liquor store I stopped by the other day and brought along with me. I was a little hesitant to open the bottle because I had never seen this sake before... but there was a quality guarantee expiration date on the label, so I opened the bottle as soon as I could 🍶.
It didn't have the aroma of white wine that I had heard about, but more of a sake-like aroma.
The sake has more of a sake-like aroma, but when you take a sip, you can feel the white wine flavor spreading in your mouth from the refreshingly crisp mouthfeel.
It was an easy to drink sake with a clean flow down the throat.
The three of us, his wife and son-in-law, emptied the bottle in no time😅.
Then I realized I forgot to take a picture of the empty bottle 😅😅
I don't know when I will see it again, but it was a delicious bottle 😋.
Hi Mr. Baum 😃
Congratulations on your first sogapé 🎉 ㊗️
I'm so jealous that you met him at a liquor store you wandered by 🥹It's a blessing to be able to drink these special drinks with your family 🤗.
Hi Jay & Nobby 😃I didn't expect to meet you 😅I didn't even know you were handling it, but to meet you without a second thought is a dramatic increase in my excitement 😍.
I stopped by to reserve a certain brand.
Home liquor store
They said, "We have sogapé."
I had no choice but to buy it when he said: ❗️
Domaine Ikedalot was hard.
I wondered if I should let it sit for 6 months, but I opened it right away 😆.
I opened it right away 😆.
59% polished Miyamanishiki from Nagano, 15% alcohol by volume.
When I popped the cork, there was no ginjo aroma.
It has the usual aroma of sourness and a little bit of a zing from the yeast yeast yeast.
The taste is...
Sourness is the main taste.
It tastes like a white wine.
It tastes like a white wine, but has a thicker flavor with umami like a sake yeast
Yes, this is what Sogape should be like!
It was the right choice to drink it without letting it rest. ❗️
The label on the back says
The 2024 Miyamanishiki was very troubled.
and the back label says
I grinned and said, "I'm glad to hear it!
After a few days
I'm sure it will have a honey-like sweetness.
I'm looking forward to that too 😉.
Good evening, ymdaz 🦉.
I see you drank the normal lot too😻and this one has a great flavor from freshly opened💕It's so different 😳.
I'm looking forward to seeing what happens over time 😉.
Hi ymdaz 😃
We have a sogape!" I'd love to hear you say that 😍We've never had it at home 🥲 and it's one of the best bottles we have on hand right now 🥹.
Good evening, Pon 😃.
I didn't follow it this year, but I came across it by chance and bought it: 🙂↕️
It's the same numerosis, but the impression was quite different.
I drank it today with a flat sake cup, but next time I plan to enjoy it lukewarm 😊.
Good evening, Jay & Nobby 😃.
We get a few in stock at our home liquor store, but I don't go there every day so it depends on timing whether I can come across them or not😅.
This time we happened to be lucky😊.
This sogave was brewed last year and laid down for a year.
Believing the story that sogave tastes better when it has been aged, I resisted the urge to drink it 😓.
It is true that the freshness is not so great, but the flavor is more intense.
I recommend you to be patient and let it rest. Delicious 😋😋😋😋😋
0ne meeting! Next up was a Sogapère Ephis 😄 which I once wanted to try, but didn't realize you could drink it here. The label is very detailed and I was satisfied with just this (lol). This one is a mixed yeast of No. 1 and No. 2. I thought they didn't have No. 1 or No. 2 yeast anymore...
In any case, I was looking forward to this rare yeast! The aroma is of white grapes like wine, with a hint of sour citrus. There is not much rice aroma. When you drink it, you will taste the sweetness and then the sourness! It is like a wine, but it also has umami and a strong finish. This is interesting because it also has a sake-like character 😊.
Good morning, Sashu 😃.
I like the 0th party! I drank out at Sogape once in Nagano, but it's the first place I want to drink at home now 😙Yummmm, it looks delicious!
Jay & Nobby Good evening 😄 We rarely have a 0th party, but we had time! I'm glad it was a nice place! The Sogape was delicious. I thought it would be more wine-like but it also had a sake feel!
Today is Giants vs Dodgers⚾♥️
So, here 🌠!
First time for you, Mr. Sogape: ♥️♥️
I got it from Mr. Hayashi in Fukui~! ♥️
I was surprised when I found the information about the release of the book!
I've always wanted to try it, but I never thought I'd be able to drink it at home. ♥️♥️
I opened a bottle for the best game of the day 🐰
First of all, I had a vague information that Sogape itself is like wine, but when I drank it, I found that it is indeed a dried grape type fruitiness 😳♥️ a little bit of acidity is felt afterwards and it is really elegant and delicious~！！！！
It's as good as it sounds 👏.
The game itself was a loss, but Otani's home run was a treat, even for the enemy. ♥️
I'm looking forward to the season opener! ♥️
Hi Jun 😃
It's so exciting that the season is about to start for baseball⚾️🤗
Congrats on your first Sogape ㊗️ at the Giants vs Dodgers game 🎉It's the one we want to drink at home the most right now 😍But watching baseball makes the drinking pitch go up 😋.
Good evening Jay & Nobby, ☺️
I've been eyeing this at Sake-no-Wawa for a while and am glad I got it 🥰.
The season starts soon 🥰 baseball is a great snack and I end up drinking too much 🤣.
Comparison of this year's Numerosis Ikeda lot and Normal lot
I feel that the normal lot has more minerality and sharpness,
Both of them have a strong No.6 yeast taste, and the sweetness and the lactic acidity make it easy to drink.
However, I feel that I should have drunk each bottle carefully without comparing them..,
I feel like I'm being extravagant...
