史上初の3年連続世界一。技術の追求で実現する高品質の日本酒 - 宮城県・新澤醸造店（伯楽星・あたごの松） | SAKE Street | プロも愛読の日本酒メディア
日本酒コンクールの上位受賞で名前を聞かないことがないほど、品質の高さに定評のある宮城県・新澤醸造店。過去には脅威の精米歩合0パーセントや当時22歳の若手杜氏抜擢で話題をさらい、近年はジン蒸溜所や人材派遣会社といった関連企業を設立するなど、前例のないチャレンジを続けています。 5代目蔵元・新澤巌夫（にいざわ・いわお）さん曰く、引き継いだ24年前時点では2億円の負債を抱え、品評会では県内最下位レベルだったという同社。東日本大震災を含む逆境を乗り越えながら、若手女性杜氏を中心とした技術者集団を築きあげ、蔵を世界トップの地位まで躍進させた新澤社長の取り組みと、その蔵の組織力についてお話を聞きました。SAKE Street | プロも愛読の日本酒メディア「伯楽星」を醸す新澤醸造店(宮城県)から学ぶ！オンラインテイスティングイベント「SAKE(日本酒)x NOMY(学)」の第15弾が8/2(金)に開催 | 日本酒専門WEBメディア「SAKETIMES」

Hakurakusei純米吟醸 おりがらみ
タカヒロ
You can see why people say this is the best sake for food.
It has a gentle aftertaste that goes well with Japanese food in general and disappears quickly.

200 check-in🎉
I decided on this one because I wanted something different from the usual.
This bottle was brewed by Yamawa Sake Brewery and Shinzawa Brewery.
Sake rice brand unknown, rice polishing ratio 40%.
It goes down your throat so smoothly. I don't know if I should say this, but it has a fresh, slightly sweet taste, like water, and is very easy to drink. It is very tasty.

A luxury sake unique to New Year's. I had wanted to try Hakurakusei for a long time, so I was happy to start the New Year with it. The aroma is fruity, like pear or white peach, and the taste is sweet enough. It has a fruity aroma like pear or white peach, and the taste is sweet enough.

Yamawa Shuzoten (Yamawa and Washigakuni) and Shinzawa Shuzoten (Hakurakusei and Atago no Matsu) collaborated to brew this limited edition sake, which has been released every New Year at alternating breweries since 2019, and is now in its 7th year. I first had the 2024 version brewed by Yamawa Sake Brewery last year and personally liked it so much that I purchased both the draft and fire-aged versions of the 2025 version brewed by Shinzawa Sake Brewery. Last year's bottle was a beautiful blue bottle, and this year's is also a cool bottle with a luxurious feel. We started with the nama sake.
It has a sweet fruity aroma reminiscent of purple grapes (like Delaware) and a freshness unique to nama-shu. The taste had an excellent balance of sweetness, acidity, bitterness, and umami, with a particularly delicious sweetness and umami from the rice. I felt a slight tingling alcohol sensation, but after a day, it became more relaxed. I am looking forward to the fire-brewed version.

Today we have a year-end gift from my brother-in-law, Miyagi no Homare, Hakurakusei!
A calm umami, you can feel it without saying a word!
I don't have to say anything to feel its deliciousness! I'm going to indulge in this sake with the tempura my wife made for me!
I will indulge in this sake 🍶.
I'd like to meet the new innovation, Hiryu.
