Last night was the last full moon of the year [cold moon🌛❄].
Last weekend was a bit of a whirlwind [flu 🤒], but everyone is finally recovered and I can enjoy a drink myself 🥰.
Well, let's celebrate my recovery with [moon-viewing sake tonight🌛🍶]. ✨️
Masumi Shinshu Secret Sake Hanpukai 2025 Gold Course
Is it just me or does this logo look like the moon? 🤣
I looked it up and found that the image of the leaves of the Miyasaka Brewery's family crest [ivy] floating on the surface of the water is expressed in the shape of a circle, which is the harmony of the brewer's motto, "Wa (harmony) brewing good sake".

The aroma is like a soft rummy, and the mouthfeel is soft and floral with a sweet umami flavor that finishes gently with a refreshing sweet aftertaste like a rummy.
[Mokkiri]
A clear pear-like aroma, a refreshing fruity sweetness and umami that flows easily into the mouth, and a fruity sweet aftertaste that finishes quickly.
Wow, this is delicious!
The soft and gentle sweetness and umami that is best to drink at the beginning of a sickness is unbearable!
[I think this is my favorite so far in the Shinshu Secret Sake Hanpukai 2025.
I wanted to go with a hearty meal, so I had Akiyoshi's Yakitori and Bonito Tataki 🍴.
Good evening, Jive😄.
You are fully recovered! The beautiful taste of Masumi is sinking in when you are sick 🥰.
Logo, if Mr. Jive can see the moon 🌕 is 👌I'm impressed that this is the perfect bottle for the last full moon of the year 💖.
Good evening Mr. Jive 🌝.
Fully recovered from the flu😊and a good sake for a good moon day 🍶.
Is it a limited edition sake from the hanpukai ⁉️ the label conveys a special feeling 😊.
I'm impressed every time with your great choice of sake and your taste in snacks ✨.
The fruity, aromatic, refreshing, and delicious flavor of the first day is the strongest. The balance is the strongest, not too heavy and not too light.
I paired it with a hot pot of beef and it didn't lose at all.
This is the second bottle I've had in the last six months, and I definitely like it the best.
On the second day, the fruity and aroma was lessened and the sweetness increased, so I prefer to finish it on the first day after opening the bottle.
It was delicious!
First time, it's Masumi! The No. 7!
The aroma is somehow earthy. It draws you in. The mouthfeel is viscous and silky on the tongue. The taste is very silky on the tongue, combined with a refreshing alcohol taste that will make you want to drink more.
The light brownish color of the sake is also somewhat soothing.
It gave a stylish classical impression.
Although it is a pure sake, it is not heavy and has a really good balance. It has a full rice flavor, freshness, crispness, a hint of acidity, sweetness, and a mild aroma like chestnuts that passes through the nose, all of which can be tasted.
You can also taste the freshness of freshly squeezed sake. It was recommended to me at a liquor store, and I am glad I got it. It matched perfectly with raw oysters. It is an exquisite match. I had sashimi, raw oysters, tempura, and many other dishes, but by far the raw oysters (ponzu) were the best match.
