Koshino Hakugan is a 50% polished ginjo. This is a light, easy-drinking ginjo-shu that is typical of Niigata sake. Serve with tempura of wild vegetables.

I've never seen this brand before. It's mostly consumed in Niigata Prefecture, so it's not sold outside the prefecture. I was lucky enough to drink it 😄. It's chilled but very juicy, and it's a true trendy combination of sweetness and refreshment. I drank it at the end of a drinking party, so there wasn't much left of the knob, but it's a very powerful drink that works well on its own. I'd really like to taste it at home, so if I find it somewhere else, I'll definitely buy it 😙. But I drank too much yesterday 😨

A beautifully bottled summer sake. The taste is sharp and light, just like summer sake. I tried drinking sake on the rocks for the first time and it is quite good. It is more light and easy to drink 😁.

Appropriate for the New Year, A gorgeous sake with gold dust. The ginjo aroma is rather subdued, The sake has a clean finish with the umami flavor of rice. It is easy to match with meals.

Even rarer of centrifugation, The supernatant portion is extracted at low temperature. It is a "diamond in the liquid", It is a "diamond in the rough". Transparent sweetness of rice, and the condensed flavor of the rice. This is truly a bottle of the highest quality.

Corner shop at the mysterious cheese shop (2) Since the corner drinking at this restaurant is self-serve, we discovered an unopened bottle of Moridori when searching the refrigerator! I entrusted it to Mr. Nemuchi, a professional corker 😁. I drank a lot of dry sake at an off-line meeting the other day and I'm in the mode that I can drink some dry sake, right? I'm in a mode that some things are dry, so I drank it. It's definitely dry, but it's delicious with a nice sweetness and gasiness 😁.

I think it was a collaboration of several sake breweries in Hyogo Prefecture.

Purchased at a liquor store specializing in Hyogo sake with mofu. There were many people drinking sake in the store and the atmosphere was bizarre. When I asked the store staff if it was an event, he told me that they were people who had come from Ozeki's brewery open at a nearby store. The smell of squid filled the air, and the waiter said he was sorry for the smell 🤣. This sake is brewed with salvia yeast collected by students at an agricultural high school. It is slightly effervescent and has a unique flavor. Sweet but cosmetic like no other aroma. A little nutty in the second half. I thought it was a little peculiar. After 3 days, a little bit of rum raisin taste. Definitely tastier than freshly opened 😋.

Purchased at a local supermarket I didn't have such high expectations, but it has a fresh, fruity flavor with a strong umami. It also has a nice sharpness. It was a cosy evening sake. ❗️

The rich flavor and juicy sweetness give it a sense of volume. Yet, it is a good sake in that it is easy to drink. It is very tasty.

The sake brewery is closing? I wonder why when it tastes so good. At first I thought it was too thin? But it is quite dry and tasty! 100% Hitomebore produced in Nara Prefecture I knew it was good!

I see that it is read as "Sekepikozan". If I had not drank this sake, I might not have been able to read it correctly for the rest of my life. The taste is fresh and quite rich. The bitter bitterness comes out in the back of the mouth, and the taste is sharp and clean. The sweetness is modest for Aizan, and although it is not the modern type of sake, the umami flavor is very well conveyed. Not bad!

I've been wanting to try this one for a while...they use 1801 yeast. It's gorgeous and fruity. It's also quite sweet. I think it's the most gorgeous of all the Yukihiko Yama brands. This was over 2,000 yen at a certain izakaya in Osaka, but at a nearby liquor store it was 1,980 yen🙄. I wonder what it is? I heard some breweries and stores add shipping costs 🤔.

Sake opened at a remote off-line meeting (3) I was asked "What is the best sake you drank this year? I answered "Aozora", but later I remembered that it was the future of sake from Akabu newborn 🤣. By this time I couldn't even remember what it tasted like, so I checked again the next day. The rice used is 100% Benkei. It is a kijoshu, although there is no description. As it says, it has a thick sweet taste. Sweet and sour. I can only drink a little at a time because kijo-zake is so thick. A neighborhood liquor store owner told me that they make sake in a 200-year-old building. He said that the equipment is also old.

For my fourth cup, I decided on the "Koshihikari" which caught my attention! The palate is clean and refreshing, but as you taste it, it mellows out a bit with a banana feel. The acidity tightens it up so that it does not interfere with the taste, so it is well-balanced and easy to drink👍.

I got this from my grandson for Respect-for-Senior-Citizens Day. This is the third of four. It is a gift from my grandson. I'll get back to you as soon as I can. Not much aroma but it's rather fruity 💕 The color is beautiful. The mouthfeel is smooth. The taste of rice is more pronounced than the sweetness. A little bitterness is felt a little later 👍 Today's pairing is squid sashimi. It goes well with 💕. 300ml will be gone soon! It's totally delicious 👍! Thanks to my grandson, I will have it again today ✌️
