Otter Otter Sparkling 🍶✨ From the moment it is poured into the glass, the gorgeous aroma of this junmai daiginjo 🌸 spreads. The rice used is 100% Yamadanishiki, the king of sake rice, and its full sweetness and elegant flavor can be felt. In addition, the delicate carbonation produced by the secondary fermentation in the bottle is very refreshing as it pops in the mouth. The color is slightly cloudy with a silky texture. The sweetness, acidity, and slight bubbles are in perfect harmony, making it a luxurious drinking experience, like an adult sparkling wine 🥂✨. Not only is it a perfect toast as an aperitif, but it is also versatile enough to be enjoyed with Japanese and Western food and desserts. I thought it was a bottle that would add a touch of flair to celebrations for special occasions. Otter's Nigori Sparkling is gorgeous, yet easy to drink and pleasantly enjoyable to the last drop. I was very satisfied with its silky, schwarmy taste 😋💫.

We received a bottle of Ozeki Shuzo's "Sakura-michi" 🌸. This is a Junmai Daiginjo-shu made with 100% cherry blossom yeast from "Imazu Benikanzakura" and the highest grade of sake rice, Yamadanishiki, produced in Hyogo Prefecture ✨. When poured into a glass, it is light and soft on the palate, like cherry blossom petals softly dancing. The elegant acidity of the cherry blossom yeast and the moist sweetness of the rice from Yamadanishiki are in perfect harmony and gently spread in the mouth. The aftertaste disappears smoothly and cleanly, with a pleasant lingering finish. The aroma is subdued, so it goes well with not only Japanese food, but also Western food and light appetizers, and can be enjoyed on any occasion. It is a bottle with a spring-like appearance and name that will add a touch of color to your dining table. It was a sake that I would definitely like to taste during the cherry blossom season and that I could feel the delicate expression that only the Ozeki Sake Brewery can offer 😋🌸.

Ezo Fuji This is a special sake made from Hokkaido-born sake rice "Comet" and brewed at Hakkaisan, a prestigious sake brewery in Niigata. The "lightness" that is characteristic of Comet is brought out by Hakkaisan's highly polished techniques, resulting in a beautiful fusion of the two unique characteristics. When poured into a glass, it has a gorgeous apple fruit aroma🍎. The fresh and elegant aroma tickles the senses. In the mouth, a soft sweetness blends into the clear, transparent taste, and you can enjoy a refreshing yet deep flavor. The lightness of the wine leaves an elegant aftertaste that makes you want to drink more and more of it. The bottle is designed by Soichiro Tomioka, a painter from Takada, Joetsu City. The modern, yet soothing world view is in harmony with the quality of the sake and adds to its special character. This sake evokes the climate and culture of two lands, Hokkaido and Niigata. It was a sake to be savored carefully, the ultimate in refined lightness 😋✨.

This time it is "Kuroryu Hiiraju" 🔥. It is the pinnacle of Kuroryu Shuzo's pride and joy in nama-shu, a Junmai Daiginjo-shu. The name "Hiiraju" was taken from the woodblocks used for the first draft sake in the early Meiji period, giving this bottle a sense of history and tradition. The label and bottle design are sophisticated, stylish, and special from the moment you pick it up. The first thing you notice when pouring it into a glass is its fresh and fresh aroma. It is gorgeous and elegant, but not too showy, leaving a clean impression. In the mouth, it has a delicate and soft mouthfeel, and the clear flavor of Junmai Daiginjo spreads, with a pleasant aftertaste that disappears quickly and comfortably. It combines the freshness typical of nama-shu with the dignity of Kuroryu. It is versatile as a food sake and goes well not only with Japanese food, but also with cheese and light Western food. Above all, it is easy to drink and has a pleasant taste that makes you want to drink more. This is exactly what I would call a "special occasion sake" ✨.

今回は「新政 タンジェリン」🍊 火入酒である Colors シリーズ に新たに加わった一本です。原料米には、1959年に東北農業試験場で誕生した「フクノハナ」を使用。クラシカルな背景を持ちながらも、現代的な洗練さを感じさせる新政らしい挑戦的な仕上がりになっています。 グラスを近づけると、柔らかく上品な香り。口に含むと最初に感じるのは優しいアタックで、米の旨みがじんわり広がり、その後すっと切れていくキレの良さが印象的でした。甘味と酸味のバランスが絶妙で、名前の「タンジェリン」を思わせるような爽やかさがあり、火入酒でありながらフレッシュさをしっかり感じられます。 Colors シリーズの中でも、米の個性と新政らしい醸造の美学が光る一本で、「食中酒」としても万能。軽やかながら奥深さもあり、つい盃が進んでしまう味わいでした😋

tokiwa (Japanese crested ibis) A special collaboration with the highly popular select store "United Arrows". Brewed with carefully selected Yamadanishiki and using Niigata Prefecture's original yeast, G74. Using the Tenryohai Shuzo's unique brewing techniques, this bottle is a fire-aged sake that retains a fresh texture. It has a taste that is unique to Garakudai, but has a slightly different expression from the rest of the lineup, a taste that can only be achieved through collaboration.

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.

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 ✨.
