The aroma is creamy.
The taste has a mild acidity, mild sugar, and a firm umami flavor, which is what one would call umami dry.
It is a normal sake, but it is a good sake without any peculiarities. The aftertaste is refreshing.
I paired it with salted squid, and it was perfect.

Sogen Sake Brewery, located in Suzu City, Ishikawa Prefecture, is said to be the oldest sake brewery in Okunoto, and one of its two warehouses was damaged by a landslide during the Noto Peninsula Earthquake on January 1, 2024. This junmai-shu, brewed in 2023, was released after being heated through January 2024.
It has a yellowish hue. It is a junmai sake with an aromatic flavor and a hint of maturity, and can be enjoyed cold or warmed.
The word "reanimate" means that something that once waned gains strength and flourishes again. We hope you enjoy this sake while remembering how Sogen Sake Brewery overcame the damage caused by the Noto earthquake and torrential rain disaster.
It has a firm umami flavor and a gentle taste.
It is a slightly dry sake that can be enjoyed cold or warmed.

Finally, I asked him if he had any strange sake. I asked him, and he offered me this one as a sake that would go well with the Chinese koji bean curd.
What is Chinese koji? He explained to me what it was and served it to me.
Sogen Shuzo, Ishikawa Prefecture
Sogen Shuzo Shiboritate Nama-nazake (freshly brewed sake)
This is a rare sake that was kept at room temperature before it was damaged in the earthquake.
It has a mild caramelized pudding-like taste, and is full of amino acid sweetness and richness. The aftertaste is a bit sharp. It was delicious because of its concentrated flavor and richness.
A customer showed me a picture of Sogapère Ephis, saying that he got hooked on sake through a pairing recommended at this restaurant.
I told him that it was a rare sake made by a winery for a limited time, but that I had it here today, and he immediately ordered it.
I said hello and headed home, as I had time to catch the bus.
I had a great time listening to the sake pairings.

Souvenir sake from a business trip to Hokuriku🍶.
Slightly fruity aroma, slightly sweet and mildly acidic, with a flavor that spreads from the first impression. It is easy to drink with a mellow mouthfeel and is good as a food sake.

Sukiyaki course➕90min all-you-can-drink
The all-you-can-drink system is a dreamy system where you can pour as much sake as you like into a glass from the corner where there are many bottles of sake 😄.
Since we were there, we chose only sake brands that we had never had before 😁.
This is the last one at this store 🍶.

Out of season, the aluzoe shiboritate nama sake, heated to 60°C, is cooked rice, and delicious. Considering the current state of the world, I thought it was very luxurious to feel the hokuhoku rice from the liquid.
