Sake from Aizu. The label states that it is a four-stage glutinous rice brewing process. What is a four-stage glutinous rice brewing process? The first taste is slightly sweet and bubbly, followed immediately by a crisp, clean taste with a hint of acidity. Sweet yet spicy? When the temperature is brought back to about 18℃, the sharp flavor spreads out in a flash. It was an interesting sake with various expressions.

Classic Bunraku. This may be a bit of a patronizing comment since it is a local sake, but it is delicious. It is a classic sake. Drinking it alone, it does not have much personality or assertiveness, so it does not leave a strong impression on the palate. The PURE series seems to be thicker. I think it is better to use them according to your taste. I would like to continue to support this sake brewery.

Katsuyama Baktari (I use this character because it does not come up in the Kanji conversion) I bought this sake not knowing that it was a sweet sake, so when I first sipped it, I thought it was "sweet. I am not usually a sweet sake drinker, so I was a bit confused, but when I drank it again with an awareness that it was a sweet sake, I found it to be delicious. It is not so much a sweet sake as a sweet sake, but it has a refined taste without a strange underlying sweetness among sweet sake. Refreshingly sweet with a hint of melon and honey. I don't think this sake is suitable as a food wine, but I think it is the kind of sake you drink like dessert wine or when you want to relax before going to sleep on a tired day. It is a sake that even girls who do not drink much sake can enjoy.

This is the edge of my favorite series of Katsuyama Dinsho. I think this is the third bottle. It has a good balance of rice flavor, fullness, and sharpness. It is delicious and perfect as a food sake, but it is not very cost-effective, or at about 1,800 yen, I would rather drink another sake. Katsuyama Dedication is expensive but worth it. En is a good alternative.

I bought it straight from the name-brand store, and it's absolutely delicious! This sake is perfect for the spring season as the weather is getting a little warmer. It is a little sweet, but has both a slightly sweet sake flavor and a soft rice flavor. This is a sake to be enjoyed at hanami (cherry blossom viewing) parties. It is an easy-to-drink sake that everyone can enjoy, including women and those who are not familiar with sake.

Comparison of Honjozo and Junmai from Nouguchi. The Honjozo was punchy and cask-strength, so I thought the Junmai would be punchier, but the result was surprising. I had imagined a strong and eccentric person like Keiji Hana no Keiji, but it tasted like an honor student. I guess this one is Naoe Kanetsugu. It is not as strong as the alcohol content, but still has a solid core. Supported by the acidity, it has a very well-balanced royal taste. It is an excellent sake, but when I think about the cost, I think, hmmm. It costs about 5,000 yen to buy, so if you are willing to pay this much, there are better sake available.

Nohkuchi's Honjozo is a slightly special sake that has taught me how delicious Honjozo can be. According to a liquor store in Ginza, Nohkuchi specializes in honjozo. It has been a long time since I have had it, but it is still as tantalizing as ever. It hits you like a cask strength whiskey. If you are looking for richness and full-bodiedness, then the Nomoguchi is the one for you. By the way, I got a set of Honjozo and Junmai from a hometown tax payment, and the manufacturing date was 2020.10 for Honjozo and 2022.10 for Junmai, even though the shipping date is 2022.11 for both. The Honjozo is matured for 2 years after bottling before shipping.

I had the impression that the taste was very beautiful. It is very smooth, but you can still feel the sugar on the tip of your tongue. However, it is not sweet, but rather elegant and softly fragrant as if passing by. I thought this aroma was very elegant. It is light and dry, but still has a strong umami of rice. It also changes to a full-bodied flavor at room temperature, and I thought that the expression of the flavor varied greatly depending on the temperature. I was impressed by how well made this sake is.

Yamagata Masamune's Aizan. The acidity and light yet full flavor typical of Yamagata Masamune seem to be well reproduced in Aizan. However, I think I would prefer a more authentic taste if I were to drink Aizan.

This is my favorite Sendai Ekimasamune from Katsuyama Shuzo. The sake rice is said to be Gin-no-Iroha. The expression is quite different from Katsuyama Sen. It has a fresh and crisp rice flavor supported by lemon and pear flavors and acidity. Still, it is strange that it tastes exactly the same as Katsuyama on the back. It's like a light, cheerful sake, and I liked it for that!

Silky, powdery, milky, creamy. Smooth and mellow, but not sweet and sharp. It's like an espresso latte. I like this type of drink. Of course, it goes well as a mealtime drink, and I think it is also possible to drink it in a glass at a leisurely time.

Chichibu Nishiki's craft sake series. The other day I commented on the Yamadanishiki one, but this time it's the Omachi. This one is delicious too! Silky and powdery rice flavor with banana flavor. This silky and powdery flavor is my favorite type of sake, so I would like to drink it again. The craft sake series is high quality. I will try the green label next.

This sake is from Ageo, Saitama Prefecture. This sake is commonly found in supermarkets around here. For some reason, the name "Ageo" and the atmosphere of the label had not stimulated my desire to buy it for many years, but for some reason I decided to buy it this time on a whim. As a result.... What? It's good! It has a very unique taste. It has a milky taste. It's in the rich, dry category. When you put it in your mouth, it starts with an old sake-like flavor suitable for warming, so you think it's this type, but this flavor expands in a different direction than you expect. It is milky. There is also a slight fruity aroma. It would go well with nabe or oden in the coming season. It is a nostalgic sake that is a little bit modernized version of traditional junmai sake. I hope you will try it and let me know what you think.

Tobiroki. This is delicious. It is like a sake that brings out the best of Yamada-Nishiki and enjoys Yamada-Nishiki. It is truly the royal road of sake. There is almost no fruity aroma. The first thing that comes out is a slight aroma of muscat, as if you had a clear stream in your mouth, and then the Yamada-Nishiki starts to come into its own. The soft and powerful flavor of rice spreads out. It was a good experience.

A crisp honjozo. It is delicious. It is best to drink it at a temperature of about 18 degrees Celsius. The rice flavor spreads in a smooth, clear stream like entry. There are no unnecessary aromas at all, and the pure flavor of the water and rice is all that is needed to make it a winner. Sake from Chichibu is delicious. Like Chichibu Nishiki, I would like to try other lineups of Mukou Masamune as well.

It is the new Otters. It's good! It is thicker than the normal otter, with a hint of banana flavor. It is a little more expensive than the normal Otter, but it is a full-powered Otter, which is very satisfying and cost-effective. It has a smooth entry, with an earthy aroma for a moment, followed by a well-balanced spread of tropical and sweet flavors including banana, and the delicious taste of rice. By the way, I bought it at Big Camera.
