Kaze no Mori drinking comparison
The 2024 has a more transparent hue than last year's.
The aroma was a little more subdued, and in the mouth it was clean and fresh with no cloying taste.
Wind Forest Drinking Comparison
The 2023 popped when the bottle was opened.
The color was a little yellowish, the aroma was sour, and the taste in the mouth was sour with a hint of sweetness!
region of origin
I dared to age it at room temperature for about a week before opening the bottle, which doubled the bubbly sensation!
It's very tasty with a nice, fizzy taste.
Good morning, Choro! 🙋
Aged at room temperature for a week, that's awesome 😱.
It sure sounds like it's fermented and bubbly, but I don't have the guts to do that 😅.
Tomoyuki Kumagai
Good morning!
I also heard about it from the owner of a pub, so I gave it a shot, but it was very fizzy and tasty 😋.
But I don't have the courage to try a 5-no sake or something like that 💦.
Winter's arrival: ❄️
The bottle popped cheerfully when opened 🍾.
The color is clear with lots of bubbles and a slight yellow tinge.
The aroma reminded me a little of grapes, and in the mouth it was very tasty with a good balance of fizziness, sweetness and bitterness!
Mimuro Sugi Junmai Daiginjo Yamadanishiki
The color is clear and the aroma is slightly sweet.
In the mouth, the umami and sweetness are pleasant, and the aftertaste is slightly bitter!
This is a miscellaneous sake by Abe Shuzo x Musashino Distillery 🍶.
This is a Kijoshu made with "Thornball", a craft gin made by Matsuzaki who has a store in Kawagoe, and Abe Sake Brewery's sake.
The aroma and taste of the sake was like lychee and very delicious!
Hanayo starts with Gohyakumangoku.
I was able to buy it again this season!
Gohyakumangoku has a strong bitter taste in Hanahyangyoku, but this year it had a nice aroma and was both bitter and sweet at the same time 😋.
Collage Nagoshizake
The color is clear and the aroma is reminiscent of rumune.
When you put it in your mouth, you can feel the rummy taste and the bitterness is also light.
The next day, the corners are removed and it becomes very tasty 😋.
Tasake🍁.
The color is clear.
The aroma is sweet, and when you put it in your mouth, it has a pleasant sweetness with a hint of acidity.
The aftertaste is a little bitter, but it's still good 😋.
I love rice wine 😍.
Nanuka Terrestrial Painting (tentative)
It is an equal combination of Dewa Sanzan, Kame-no-o and Yuki-no-Mikami.
It is round and very pleasant on the palate.
It has a clear color and a nice aftertaste.
The flavor is rich and delicious even when heated 😋.
Hanahyoyu Yamadanishiki
I opened a bottle of Hanaoyukyu Yamadanishiki that I bought last January!
The brewer does not recommend home aging, but this one is full of pineapple🍍 with a mellower aroma and sweetness than when I first bought it! The aftertaste is also very tasty with a little bitterness 😋.
Senkori Snowman
This is the one we started to make entirely at Kimoto this year.
When the bottle was opened, it was very healthy and almost spilled a little.
The color is a beautiful cloudy white with a rich aroma of rice and an acidic effervescence in the mouth.
It is drier than sweet and seems to go well on its own or with a meal.
Jyushiyo Souboku
I drank this one after drinking Asahitaka, and I was just so impressed with how clear it was and how tasty it was without any cloying taste 🥹.
I heard that this Soubeni is a Jyushiro that is sent directly from the brewery and is not sold at special dealers.
So the label on the back of the bottle is not attached.
Sake Brewer's Comment
A strange and beautiful sake from the land of Sai.
Ryuichiro Kitanishi, the fifth generation brewer, spent five years designing the quality of sake.
He combined the advanced brewing techniques inherited from the company's founding with a meticulously constructed theory to create the ideal sake.
Please enjoy the harmony created by the elegant ginjo aroma, the sweetness of the rice, and the color of the fine acidity.
Brewer's Comment
Yamada-Nishiki, the highest grade of rice suitable for sake brewing, is brewed in the style of our brewery. We hope you will enjoy the harmony of the gorgeous ginjo aroma and fresh taste.
Imi Junmai Ginjo
It is much tastier when opened after 6 months of aging than when drunk immediately after purchase, as the corners are removed and the sweetness becomes stronger 😋.
