This model uses Aiyama rice from the 59Takachiyo (Kyokutachiyo) series, which is polished to 59% by flattening and polishing.  It has a fresh aroma and taste with hints of apple and citrus, and a pleasantly bitter aftertaste. Since it is unadjusted raw sake, the gasiness and ginjo aroma can be felt directly, but it has a mellow, umami-guchi taste that is elegant.

It feels very smooth in the mouth and is very comfortable to drink. The first taste is sweet, followed by citric acidity and citrus acidity, making it very refreshing and clean.

Hasegawa Sake Shop/ Tokyo Station Brewery Doburoku Brewery:Tokyo Station Brewery Alc: 7%, Brewing: Tokyo Station Sake Brewery Rice used: Yamadanishiki, Nanatsuboshi  Doburoku, available for a limited time only at Hasegawa Sake Shop in Gransta Tokyo, is made at the brewery inside Tokyo Station. The blue label is a basic doburoku, but there are also other fruit doburoku such as mango flavor, mandarin orange, and apple, and the ability to create a variety of flavors is a unique attraction of doburoku.  It has a fruity, grape-like aroma, but with less sweetness, and the fine, slightly effervescent bubbles surround the palate with a mellow, smooth taste. Since it is doburoku, the rice grains are still present, but they have a rough, powdery texture rather than a crumbly feel, and the texture is smooth and silky.

I finally got it. It has a white wine-like acidity and sweetness, and a fresh aroma reminiscent of citrus fruits that makes it gorgeous. The mouthfeel is clean and light, making it easy to pair with food. The gas and alcohol sensations are well felt, but it seems to mellow with time, so we look forward to the changes in flavor.

Abe Shuzo "Abe Junmai Ginjo Silver Label Brewery: Abe Shuzo Co. Polishing ratio 60  Abe Silver Label" is the standard junmai ginjo from the popular Niigata sake brewery Abe Shuzo. The Abe series has a low distribution volume, but we received a bottle of the newest sake pressed in October of this year.  The flavor seems to differ slightly depending on the lot in which it is made, but I drank the vol. 1 one. When I opened the bottle, the lid opened vigorously like champagne, and when I poured it out, a slightly effervescent, slightly cloudy sake came out.  It was a mild sake with a fruity aroma like melon, refreshing sweetness and acidity, and a slight carbonation that was pleasant.

Abe Sake Brewery "Abe Original Sake Brewery: Kashiwazaki City, Niigata Prefecture Strength: 18%. Many people may be familiar with sake written in hiragana "Abe," but this one is written in kanji "Abe" by the same Abe Shuzo brewery. It has a mountain-blue hue with a sense of maturity, but it tastes clean and refreshing. It is high in alcohol content and has an aged aroma that reminds us of whiskey, so we personally recommend drinking it on the rocks.

Gikyo "Junmai Genshu 70% Specially Cultivated Rice Brewery:Yamachu Honke Sake Brewing Company, Aisai City, Aichi Prefecture Rice used: Yamadanishiki (Tojo, Hyogo Prefecture, special A district) Polishing ratio 70%.  Although the label looks like the title of a chivalrous movie, there are no strong characteristics in the aroma or taste, and it is rather delicate, with a calm and soothing flavor. It has a sweet taste at first, and then the alcohol taste leaves the nose and you can taste the umami of the rice.  Incidentally, gikyo (chivalry) is said to mean to respect justice, to discourage the strong, and to help the weak.  The interesting thing about this sake is that it is sold wrapped in ordinary newspaper. The meaning is said to be to block sunlight, but it is very eye-catching, and the newspaper is a fun way to relive the memories of the day.
