Happy New Year ‼️ Chinese Zodiac Label Drinking Comparison Two Rabbits, zodiac sign bottle, Year of the Rabbit 2026 This year is a merry-go-round🎠. The labels are unique and interesting 🤣. This year's zodiac label is a special junmai ginjo, Shiboritate Nama-nihonshu made with 55% polished rice, using Manzai and Yamada-Nishiki as the sake rice. This time, the zodiac sign label is a Junmai Ginjo, Shiboritate Nama-zake, made with 55% polished rice, using Manzai and Yamadanishiki as the rice. The combination of Manzai, which has a strong character, and Yamada Nishiki, which can be said to be the royal road to Japanese sake, gives the sake a depth of flavor that is typical of Futatsugi, The freshness of the freshness that can only be achieved with undiluted sake is beautifully expressed with the depth of flavor that is typical of Nitoshi. In the mouth, the fresh aroma spreads out, and the flavor of the rice can be felt in the lively freshness of the freshly pressed sake. It has a good balance of flamboyance and strength, giving it a special feeling that can only be experienced with this bottle.

Happy New Year ‼️ Zodiac Label Drinking Comparison this year Tasake newyear bottle 2026🦄. Junmai Ginjyo freshly brewed with Hana Mochi. The freshness of the aroma from the moment the bottle is opened is unbelievably promising. In the mouth, a syrupy, gentle sweetness spreads through the mouth, yet it is not at all cloying. It has the freshness and lightness typical of nama-shu, and is dangerously easy to drink. In addition to the taste, the label design is also excellent. It is not just a "horse" but a unicorn with a playful design that is very cool and gives the bottle a very special feeling. It was a very satisfying experience both inside and out, as you would expect from Tasake's zodiac sign label 🍶✨. It's exactly what you'd expect from a bottle of Even the sky flies! Umasa! I'm sure you'll love it 🍶🦄.

rhinoceros beetle (esp. the Japanese rhinoceros beetle, Trypoxylus dichotomus) This is the first "Kabutomushi" since the return to Edo. Expectations are naturally high for a reunion after a long absence 🍶. When poured into a glass, it has a slight yellowish hue. The aroma gives a refreshing impression of both sweetness and sourness. In the mouth, a firm acidity spreads first, followed by a crisp finish. Overall, the wine is very light and not tiring to drink. The acidity has a clear profile, making it a perfect bottle for hot weather. The new "Kabutomushi" after the return of Edo is still delicious 😋🍶.

Jikin Omachi 2023 We finally opened a bottle that we had been putting away for a long time 🍶✨. We won it in a lottery but didn't have time to drink it, so we had to wait until it was matured before we could drink it. I was a little nervous and excited. When poured into a glass, the clear, transparent color is very beautiful, and the aroma is clean with a gentle sweetness. In the mouth, a fresh aroma reminiscent of muscat spreads, and while it has the full flavor typical of Omachi, it is surprisingly smooth. The sweetness and acidity are well balanced, and the aftertaste is smooth and refreshing. The entire wine is rounded out by the aging process, and the high degree of perfection is realized once again. After all, Jikin does not betray you. It was a bottle that honestly made me think, "It's delicious after all!

Kenkunichi Junmai Ginjo Genshu A more refined and delicate version of the standard dry sake. The first impression is sharpness and sophistication without any cloying taste. The moment you take it into your mouth, you will feel the outstanding sharpness without any residual sugar. As befits its name, "super dry," it has a crisp and pleasant aftertaste that becomes more pleasant the more you drink. Yet, it is not only dry, but also impressive in that it still retains the firmness of the original sake and the gentle flavor of the rice from which it is made. This sense of balance is something that only KENKON ICH, which specializes in food sake, can achieve. It is not overly assertive, and while it complements the food, it does not lose its presence. It is a particularly good match for seafood, and when paired with white fish sashimi, shellfish, or grilled fish, the appeal of the ultra-hot sake becomes even more pronounced. The sensation of taking one sip and then another and not being able to stop going back and forth between the food and the sake is a real pleasure that only this sake can provide. The sake rice used is Miyamanishiki. It was a highly accomplished sake that made me realize once again that it is "not only hot, but super spicy." ✨

This time, a special bottle was released for the first time in two years. We were excited even before the bottle was opened because of its long-awaited return. Epokey is an assemblage (blend) of three different liquors. The combination of their individual characteristics creates a depth that cannot be expressed by a single sake, and the result is a true "beauty of harmony". When poured into a glass, the first thing that catches the eye is the clear, transparent color. It looks very clear, yet it has a beautiful appearance with a strong presence behind it. When you put it in your mouth, the taste easily exceeds your expectations. First, a gentle sweetness like that of white grapes spreads, followed by a pleasant acidity that is well-balanced. The harmony of sweetness and acidity is truly wonderful, and the complexity and cohesiveness of the assemblage can be clearly felt. The aftertaste is crisp and clean, with a lightness that is appealing without being tiring to drink. It was such a "magical taste" that I found myself naturally wanting another glass 😋✨.

Compared to the previous special junmai made with "Hanafuki", it has an overall lighter and more refined impression. The soft sweetness and mild aroma unique to Kojo-nishiki are pleasant, The flavor and slight bitterness in the mouth are perfectly balanced. It is not flashy, but has an elegance that will keep you coming back for more. It is perfect for when you want to relax and unwind, It's the kind of deliciousness that makes you want to take your time and enjoy it 😋✨.

The balance between sweetness and bitterness is exquisite, and every time you drink this bottle, you will say, "Delicious!

Tenryohai Ichidotsu no Bliss is a premium daiginjo sake produced by Tenryohai Shuzo on Sado Island, Niigata. The sake is made by carefully polishing 40% Koshitanrei sake rice grown on Sado Island, and is characterized by a mellow, elegant aroma like that of pears that rises softly from the moment it is poured into the glass. In the mouth, the clear, crisp taste of the rice spreads through the clear, crisp flavor, and the luxurious taste is truly deserving of the name "a drop of bliss. I brought a bottle of this precious wine that I received as a gift from a friend, and was thrilled to have it signed by the brewer, Senichi Katoh himself...! ✨ In addition to the delicious sake, it was a special and memorable experience. 🍶💛

Happy Taro's "Uki Uki Pop"! The "Uki Uki Pop" we received this time was a cheerful and fun doburoku that, as its name suggests, made us feel excited the moment we drank it✨. The first thing that spreads in the mouth is a pleasant sourness that pops with a "sizzle". The balance of the gentle sweetness that follows is exquisite, and the taste is light yet satisfying. While the mild rice flavor characteristic of doburoku can be felt, the overall finish is refreshing and easy to drink, making it a truly delicious bottle 💕💕.

Takagaki Junmai Sake The "Takagaki Junmai-shu" we were served this time had an appealing "gentle richness" that you could feel the moment you took a sip. The initial impression was mellow, with a full-bodied rice flavor that gradually spread across the palate. The taste is neither too heavy nor too light, but has an exquisite balance with the depth and calmness typical of junmai sake. The more you drink, the more the rich umami of the rice can be felt, and the more you drink, the gentler and more reassuring the finish is. It was the type of junmai sake that is easy to pair with meals, and the longer you savor it, the more delicious it becomes 🍶✨.

Mimuro Sugi Fest Miwa Lore Storehouse Birthday Festival Three limited edition sakes were brewed to commemorate the opening of the Miwa Denso Kura. The last bottle was-- Prelude to Miwa Densetsu Kura Kurazekura yeast test brew This sake is the result of a very interesting challenge: brewing with "only brewer's yeast" in a new brewery. The character of the yeast itself could be felt more directly, and the refined taste typical of Mimuro-Sugi had a depth of potential that had yet to be discovered. The balance between freshness and soft umami was good, and the "taste with a sense of the future" that only a test brew like this can produce was very appealing and delicious 🍶✨.

The aroma is mild, but the acidity characteristic of the Bodai yeast and the soft flavor of the wooden vat combine to give this bottle the depth that only a traditional brewery can provide.

Kinjaku, Flying This is a really precious bottle too, and we are happy to receive it: ☺️ Comment from the brewer This Junmai Daiginjo is made by carefully polishing the finest Yamadanishiki and brewing it with clear spring water from the headwaters of the Nishiki River. After slow fermentation at a low temperature, the sake is hung in a sake bag and only the natural drops are collected. When I drank it myself, it stood out for its clarity and gorgeousness without any cloying flavors, and I could feel the elegant sweetness that is typical of Kinjaku. It was a taste worthy of the name "Hisho" (flight), and suitable for a special occasion 🍶✨.
