Hanaabi美山錦 プレミアム

The last of our Miyamanishiki drinking comparison is the Kahayokyu Miyamanishiki Premium ✨. The aroma rising from the glass is full-blown fruity, as is typical of Hanaoyukyu, with a juicy aroma that reminds one of ripe pineapple🍍. When you take a sip, a light sweetness spreads at first, followed by a hint of acidity on the tip of the tongue. This acidity enhances the freshness of the wine, giving the impression of a more beautiful overall balance. The word "beautiful" is the perfect word to describe this wine. It has a gorgeous mouthfeel, but the aftertaste is light and disappears quickly. It has a special feeling among the other wines in the comparison, and as the name suggests, it has a "premium" finish. The harmony of acidity and sweetness, which is different from the softness of nigori and junmai daiginjo, stands out, making it a must-try for fans of Hanaoyokyu. It was the perfect cup to end on a "delicious after all 😋" note ✨.

I had a glass of Hanahayo Biyamanishiki Junmai Daiginjo 🍶✨. The aroma that rises when poured into the glass is very beautiful and elegant. It is fruity yet refreshing, and gives a sense of delicacy amidst its gorgeousness. The sweetness and umami that spreads smoothly in the mouth is exquisite, and there is almost no bitterness in the aftertaste, giving the impression of a very clear and easy drinking sake. It has a clear, transparent flavor that is typical of junmai daiginjos, with no cloying taste, so it does not interfere with meals, and can be enjoyed on its own. In particular, its fruity aroma and gentle mouthfeel are pleasant and make you want to drink more. Compared to the junmai ginjos and nigori that I have had in the past, I felt the quality and refined atmosphere that only a junmai daiginjo can offer. It was a sake that I could honestly say was delicious with its gorgeousness and Miyamanishiki charm that is typical of Hana-yoso ✨.

Hanayokyu Miyamanishiki Nigori ✨ This is a very rare nigori that I finally came across! I was thrilled to get it for the first time and was excited before opening it 🥹. The aroma is silky when poured into a glass. When I opened the bottle...the cork flew out 💥😳 It was exactly the kind of vigor that only nigori can give! In the mouth, the pineapple🍍 feeling was in full bloom and the shrieking freshness was irresistible ✨ A burst of sweetness and juiciness made this a truly delicious drink 😋.

HANAHODAKU BIYAMANNISHIKI Comparison! First, Junmai Ginjo Miyamanishiki 🍶✨. The moment it is poured into the glass, the aroma is fruity, like apples and pineapples. The juicy pineapple flavor rushes into the mouth, followed by a hint of bitterness that adds a nice accent 😋✨. The balance of sweetness, sourness, and bitterness is exquisite, and you will never get tired of drinking it. It was a bottle that allowed me to fully enjoy the "Huayouyasama style"!

We finally opened the last bottle of Abe Shuzo x Matsuzaki's Kojo-shu 🍾✨! As I felt before, this sake is really easy to drink, and I can't get enough of the gorgeous lychee-like flavor that spreads on the palate. It is juicy but not heavy, and it is so easy to drink that it is almost dangerous (lol) 😋. I was planning to savor it slowly, but before I knew it, the glass was empty in no time.... I was going to savor it slowly, but before I knew it, my glass was empty......and since it was the last bottle, I felt even more regretful 😢 Still, the best luxury is to "enjoy a good drink while it's still good. Once again, thanks to the collaboration between Abe Sake Brewery and Matsuzaki-san. It was still a great drink 👏✨.

And next, Shinsei Cosmos "direct pumping" 👀✨ As you approach the glass, the aroma is subdued compared to the normal. However, the impact of the aroma is felt the moment you put it in your mouth. The first thing that spreads is the nuance unique to the wooden vat brewing process. There is a depth behind the subdued aroma, and the umami spreads slowly. If the normal version is gorgeous and refreshing, the direct brew has more depth and gravity. By comparing the two side by side, the good points of each stand out, and it was very enjoyable to experience the difference between the two. Both have their own charms that are hard to put down, and in the end, all I can say is, "they are delicious! The opportunity to compare the two was truly a luxury, and I was reminded once again of the depth of Shinmasa ✨.

Shinmasa Cosmos This time, we luxuriously compared the "normal" and the "straight kumi" 👀✨. Let's start with the normal. When poured into a glass, the color is truly crystal clear. When you take in the aroma, a soft sweetness spreads softly, raising your expectations even before you drink it. In the mouth, the first thing that spreads is a calm sweetness. The lingering aroma has a refreshing nuance reminiscent of lemon grass. It had a pleasant depth to its gorgeousness, and I could honestly nod my head and say that it was delicious. A bottle that lets you fully experience the individuality that is typical of Niimasa. I'm looking forward to the difference between this and the next one, and I can't help but get excited...!

✨6️⃣0️⃣ 0️⃣✨ 🤩Chuck in🤩. CRAFT SAKE WEEK @ Roppongi Hills! Day 3 of participation, 4th drink 👀. (Actually, it was so good... I secretly had another 7 cups 😆 lol) Here is the bottle that was definitely my No.1 favorite among the ones I drank at this event: ‼️ Jyushidai Nakadori Kamimoroshiro Akaban Omachi Naokumi 🍶✨. The gorgeous aroma spread when you put the glass close to your mouth. The moment you take a sip... the first thing you feel is a soft sweetness, and from there a deep umami that gradually spreads through the aftertaste. The well-balanced taste that lasts until the end is just the right strike ⚾️, and it was a taste that intuitively made me think, "Oh, this is the taste I like! I could intuitively think, "Oh, this is the flavor I like! It was so delicious that I ended up having another one (lol). I was served by his wife at first, but at the end, the brewer himself poured the sake for me 😭✨. We also got to take a two-shot of Mr. Hidetoshi Nakata, the organizer of the event, and Mr. Takagi, making it an unforgettable memory 👏. I knew that the event was special not only for the taste but also for the encounter. It was a day I truly enjoyed ✨.

CRAFT SAKE WEEK @ Roppongi Hills! 3rd day of participation, 3rd drink 👀. Jyushidai Nakadori Kamimorohaku Banshu Yamadanishiki Nao Kumi Jyushidai is a brand that is coveted by all sake lovers, but the Kamimoroshirai is one of the most special. From the moment it is poured into a glass, its clear beauty stands out, and the aroma that rises from the glass is both gorgeous and calming. The first impression on the palate is exactly "refreshing yet deep. After the refreshing coolness spreads, the full flavor and richness of Banshu Yamadanishiki lingers on the tongue. It was both light and deep, and every time I drank more, I was convinced that this was the quintessence of Jyushidai 😋🍶✨. The freshness of the direct-drafted sake was added, and the balance between the gorgeous aroma and the lingering aftertaste was exquisite. The perfection of the taste can only be simply described as "delicious. Combined with the excitement of the event, this drink was an unforgettable experience.

CRAFT SAKE WEEK @ Roppongi Hills! Day 3 of the event, and first of all, the second drink 👀. The highlight of the event was ✨Jushiyo ✨. ✨Jushidai ✨! When I arrived at the venue, there was a huge line at the booth, and the placard at the end of the line read "3 hour wait" 😱💦, just like an attraction at a popular theme park... (lol) Even so, I kept waiting in line and finally got my drink. (💦) Still, I kept waiting in line and finally arrived at the restaurant. Even the wait was strangely rewarded when I was in front of the Jyushiyo. When poured into a glass, it has a beautiful, clear color and the aroma that rises from the glass is somehow elegant and deep. When you take a sip, the rich and full flavor and sweetness that is typical of Jyushidai spreads first, and then a slight, pleasant bitterness finishes it all off. It's a bottle that is both gorgeous and complex, and is truly "worth waiting in line to taste" 😋🍶✨. Jyushidai is special after all. I once again experienced the reason why it has captured the hearts of sake fans.

CRAFT SAKE WEEK @ Roppongi Hills! The 3rd day of participation, the first drink 👀! This time we had "Yokoyama Nakatori Junta Princess Michiko Nama" 🌹✨. As the name suggests, this is a special sake brewed with rose yeast. When poured into a glass, its gorgeous and elegant aroma spreads out, and you are enveloped in an atmosphere reminiscent of a bouquet of flowers 💐. When you take a sip, the first thing you feel is a soft sweetness. The combination of the gorgeousness and elegance of the rose yeast gives it a very well-balanced finish. It was a gorgeous yet easy-drinking bottle, a perfect way to start the event 😋🍶✨.

Koei Chrysanthemum Wind Bird🕊️✨ The first thing I felt as I poured it into the glass was its slight yellowish hue. There is a calm glow in the transparency that is exciting just to look at. When you take a whiff of the nose, you are surprised to find a cheesy nuance🧀 that already foreshadows the depth of the wine. In the mouth, the impression is even broader, with an aroma reminiscent of barrel aging and a complex raisin-like sweetness🍇 that gradually spreads to envelop the tongue. The wine is rich and dense at the moment of drinking, yet strangely not too heavy. What is even more impressive is the refreshing aftertaste. There is almost no bitterness, and the aftertaste lingers pleasantly. It is truly a sake to savor, and each sip reveals a new expression 🍶✨. Thank you for this wonderful encounter that reminded me once again of the depth of sake. It's because of this event that I was able to encounter this cup of sake!

JAM". The name is impressive, but the taste is just as impressive. When you put the glass close to the glass, the aroma spreads out with a floral nuance that reminds you of elderflower 🌸 and the freshness of muscat overlaps with it. In the mouth, the aroma is alive and well on the palate, with a pleasant balance of sweetness and freshness. As the name "jam" suggests, it has a rich sweetness with a fruity feel, but the aftertaste is light and disappears easily. This is again easy to drink and delicious😋. This is a drink with the playful spirit typical of craft saké and the depth of a well-crafted brew. It was a moment to encounter new discoveries only possible at an event ✨.

Imbi, black Looking into the glass, you can see a soft color with slight haori mixed in. From the appearance, you can sense the depth of the wine. The aroma is soft and sweet, gently enveloping you even before you drink it. The first thing that spreads when you take a sip is an elegant, soft sweetness. The contrast between the sweetness and bitterness is exquisite, and the sake has a complex expression, just like wine. It is a sake that makes you think, "I want to let it sit for a while. Just imagining how the balance of sweetness and bitterness will change with aging... is exciting 😊.

San-do Kago Shi-no-zozo The first thing you notice when you approach the glass is the sweet and sour cherry-like aroma that spreads softly 🍒. This is followed by a freshness that reminds you of fresh Japanese pears, and finally a slight nutty aroma. This is a cup where you can truly enjoy the gradation of aromas. In the mouth, the flavor is both gorgeous and deep, with a somewhat wild individuality. While remaining light and refreshing, the lingering aftertaste is thick and complex. Once again, I was reminded of the fact that even at the same brewery, there are so many different worlds depending on the sake brewer and brand. That is why SAKE is so interesting! 😊😊

I went to CRAFT SAKE WEEK @ Roppongi Hills the other day! On the second day, I had my second cup of "Hiran Seiten" 👀! The moment it was poured, the sparkling transparency and fine bubbles rising from the glass excited me ✨ The moment you put it in your mouth, the light, shwashy feeling bursts out, and the refreshment spreads at once. The moment you take a sip, you will feel the light and refreshing feeling of the bubbles bursting forth! The taste is just as it should be 🍾. As the name "Aoten" suggests, it has a lightness reminiscent of the clear sky and a refreshing aftertaste that makes you want to drink it at the beginning of summer. I thought that even those who tend to think of sake as "heavy" could casually enjoy this 😊. The fun of CRAFT SAKE WEEK is being able to encounter brands that are usually hard to find. There are more to come today, so I look forward to the cups to come 🍶.

The other day I visited CRAFT SAKE WEEK @ Roppongi Hills! This was the second day of participation ✨ I was excited to visit the booths and the first one I chose was... "Mari Label" 👀! The first thing that caught my eye was the cute label design 🎨💕 Simple yet striking, it lifted my spirits the moment I picked it up. Sake is not only about what's inside, but also about how fun it is to look at! And when you take a sip... it is very easy to drink! The sweetness and freshness that spreads through the gentle taste of the sake. If it tastes this good from the first sip, expectations for the future will continue to grow. I'm sure events are fun because of encounters like this! ✨

This time we were served "La Jomon IDEHA" ✨. The moment I poured it into the glass, I was impressed by the sparkling fine bubbles rising up from the beautiful transparent color, which gave me a very refreshing impression. It was as gorgeous as a sparkling wine, and I was thrilled just by looking at it 🥂. The aroma is a gentle sweetness that spreads softly. The aroma is not too flashy, but natural and pleasant, and has a charm that makes you want to hurry to take a sip. When you put it in your mouth... the first thing you feel is juicy sweetness. The acidity is immediately followed by a tightening acidity, which is exquisitely balanced. The aftertaste is light and disappears quickly, making it dangerous to keep reaching for the next glass (laugh). It is easy to drink, yet has depth, so it is no wonder it is so popular! 😋✨ It was a special bottle that gave me a solid sense of the unique worldview of the "La Jomon" series.

This time we were served "Imi Tokujun 15" ✨. The sweet aroma that wafts softly from the moment it is poured into the glass is fruity, reminiscent of strawberries🍓. It has a fruity freshness and prettiness, and the anticipation is high even before you drink it. In the mouth, the aroma spreads directly to the flavor, and the sweetness and umami are in perfect harmony. While it has a strong, full-bodied flavor, the aftertaste is light and elegant, and disappears without a hitch. It was truly "sweet and delicious! is the only word that comes to mind. It was gorgeous and fruity, yet still had the depth that is typical of Japanese sake ✨.

The other day I had the "Abe Raku-fu-mai" ✨. When poured into a glass, a light nigori color with a hint of whiteness jumps out at you 👀. From the outside, this bottle is soft and has a somewhat gentle atmosphere. When you get close to the aroma, the first thing you notice is the milky, sweet aroma. It has a dairy-like tenderness to it, yet it comes in easily without being heavy. In the mouth, a slight sparkling sensation spreads pleasantly, followed by a light sweetness. The lingering finish is interesting in that it reveals a slight banana-like aroma. It is fruity, but not too distinctive, and finishes with a refreshing aftertaste that will keep you coming back for more 😋. Some people may imagine "light nigori" to be mellow or heavy, but this "Raku-fu-mai" is very clear and pleasant to drink. I would recommend this bottle to those who are not used to drinking a lot of sake or who usually prefer lighter ✨. Each sip of "Raku-fu-mai" gives you a new expression. As the name suggests, it is like a "joyful breeze" is blowing in, bringing you a refreshing and happy time 🌸.
