It is smooth like water and flows with minerality afterwards.
It is the driest of the three.
It is easy to drink with a little sourness and bitterness, which is a good accent 💡.
As it says on the label, the No. 3 yeast is able to give this complex flavor even with soft water, and it is to be feared.

The umami of the rice can be felt, and a little sourness is felt at the end.
The mixed fermentation of No. 1 and No. 2 yeast gives it a somewhat classical flavor.
This year we were lucky enough to obtain four bottles of Sogape and decided to compare three of them 💡.
I found it to be the most robust and drinkable of the four 👍.

The aroma is of wine, grapes, and depth.
When you take a sip, you can feel a bit of chili, acidity, and sweetness spreading. The impression is quite different from the Trois we had the other day. The finish is good.
I think I might like it better if the temperature is raised a little.
The next day and after, it is still grapey and sweet. However, it is more refreshing. The aroma is sweet with depth. But when you drink it, it is crisp and delicious.
I wonder if I should let Sogapère Ephis sleep or drink it. Either way, it is already in the maniac period, but I enjoyed it.
The third one is a shochu we got recently.
Recently, liquor stores often recommend it, so I tried it.
As the name suggests, it has a minty flavor, but it is also juicy and refreshing like muscat.
It was very refreshing with soda at this time of the year.
It is amazing that both shochu and sake can produce such a flavor with sweet potatoes and rice.
Pon, good evening 🌙
Please go to the liquor store 🐧 to capture it 😆.
Maybe it depends on the ratio or something, but it was delicious and juicy, not just minty ☺️🍃🍇
Personal preference 3.8/5

I'm posting this as a reminder 🍷.
The sake I drank in May, Sogape
I bought it at Sumino's. There was no price tag and it was displayed in the back!
There was no price tag and it was displayed in the back, so I was afraid to ask if it was reserved.
I was afraid to ask, thinking it might be a reservation slot.
What? So this is my first home-made sogape 🎶.
Just before I came home, I bumped into Mr. Yoohee.
He knew in a second that I had gone there secretly.
The aroma was soft and gorgeous, there was a feeling of rice here!
The taste is very easy to drink with a combination of sweetness, bitterness and sourness!
At first I thought it was orange, lemon or apple, but in the second half, it had a slightly pungent sake taste.
It was sweeter than white wine and light bodied.
I didn't put it on its side, so there wasn't much cork aroma on it.
I wonder if this sake is supposed to be on its side?
It was delicious and I want to go back to Sumino 🥺.
Thanks for the food 🙏.
Good morning, Ofuji-san. ☀︎
I didn't expect to bump into you at that place ❗️
I was there when you were making your purchase 👀.
I'm glad you had a good time, even though there aren't that many varieties 👍.
Congratulations on your first home sogape (this way of saying 😁👍), Ofuji!
It's so exciting to meet you in person! I didn't meet you this year, so I'm jealous ✨.
Sumino-san = Yoohee-san 😆.
Hi Yoohee, ☀️
I didn't expect to see you at the liquor store!
Did they see you from where you were buying lol.
I made sure to make a loyalty card - I stopped doing the distribution plan because I thought about how often I could go 😭.
Good evening, Ponchan 🌛.
First home sogape, I thought it would be nice to have a rhythm 😁.
I also met Rutemi-san!
I have an image of Suminosan's Lord as Yoohee-san!
This is my first Sogapère Ephis.
I bought it from a certain sake retailer's home drinking support set and let it sit in the refrigerator for about two and a half months. I was interested to hear that it was sake made by a winery and wanted to try it someday, and luckily I was able to get my hands on it near the end of the season.
There are several types of sakes made by Sogapère Ephis, and this one is called Ilya Thornton, which means "100 years ago" in French. There is a description of the message behind the name on the back label.
When the cork is removed and the wine is poured into a glass, it has a sweet aroma and at the same time a refreshing alcoholic taste.
The taste has a complex, mild umami and sweetness that is typical of the sake's sake yeast at the first sip, but immediately afterwards it finishes dry with a spicy alcohol sensation that spreads like a classical sake.
The label on the back says "mixed fermentation of No.1 and No.2 yeast" and "assemblage of male and female sake," and it is indeed a sake with a strange flavor that seems to unite two opposing personalities.
The manufacturer's quality assurance period has passed, and the sake "may have an ultra-geeky aroma and taste." But it was a big hit for me personally.
Good evening, Hori 😃.
Congratulations on your first sogape ㊗️ 🎉!
A highly anticipated one that has been laid down for 2 months! Glad to see your big hit ⚾️ 🤗
Thank you for your comment, Jay & Nobby!
It was a unique yet very tasty drink. ☺️ I don't think I'll get a chance to choose, but if I get another Ilya Thornton, I'd like to drink it within the quality assurance period 😊.
It's been a while since I popped the cork, so it was a little tricky! LOL!
The cork was safely opened 🍾.
The color is clear and transparent and the aroma is good.
When you put it in your mouth, a light honey-like aroma escapes your nose.
The taste is just like a white wine.
I would like to try many kinds of Sogapehys!

Tonight's drink is an odd kind of sake corked with a cork. Not opened, but uncorked? Then, the cork gives off an aroma that is not wine, which is strange. Pouring it into a white wine glass, the aroma is less assertive, and I think I can find some acidity in the slight alcohol taste. It is like a white wine with a hint of rice. In the mouth, it has a velvety, thick texture. The sweetness is followed by a firm acidity. If you drink it in a regular sake glass, the aroma will be weaker and the acidity will be stronger. I prefer a wine glass, and my wife prefers a boar's-nose glass. When paired with broccoli with aurora sauce, the sweetness and acidity rounded out and the flavor of the rice stood out. It was delicious. When I paired it with fried pea pods, which are my favorite, the sweetness and salt of the peas complemented the sweetness of the sake, and the acidity helped the oil to flow away, which was also irresistible! It also goes well with fried bean curd with broccoli and cheese, then drizzled with burnt soy sauce. The acidity of the tartar sauce weakens the acidity of the sake, but it still has the effect of washing away the acidity after drinking, so it is very tasty. It was a fun sake that transforms itself according to the accompaniments, and the flavor changes dramatically depending on the temperature!
That being said, I hope that the brewery will be enriched, but I am saddened by this situation where we have to write on the label that we have to be careful about transfer buyers. I think it is wrong that the money that should go to the brewery goes to those who violate the liquor tax law.
