One bottle for one person: ❤️ Aroma Moderate assertiveness. It has a fruity aroma with a sourness like apples and pears. Taste Sweet and fruity on the palate. But it is not just sweet, but has a moderate acidity at the same time as the sweetness. The sweetness comes from apples and rice. The combination of these and the acidity gives a honey-like sweetness and a lactic acid bacteria drink-like sweetness. The acidity accompanies the aforementioned sweetness as if to enhance it. The acidity is not harsh, but pleasant. As the temperature of the sake approaches room temperature, it becomes easier to sense the umami of the rice. The lingering aftertaste after swallowing the sake covers the mouth with the fruity sweetness and flavor sensation felt on the palate and a moderate orange-like acidity sensation. There is also a moderate acidity and alcohol sensation in the nostrils. This is the moment when you realize that this is not sweet and tasty fruit juice, but sake. Summary Fruity, sweet and delicious sake. However, it also has a moderate acidity that keeps you from getting tired of drinking it. I have the impression that the acidity is more effective in the Jr. series. It may be a characteristic of the sake rice. I feel that the taste and aroma of the Jr. series varies depending on the sake rice used, yeast, rice polishing ratio, and brewing method. There are clear differences in each of the lineups.

Scent. No strong claims to be a "ginjo" aroma. But the ginjo aroma spreads. Aroma: Frozen muscat, apple. Orange? Citrus? Citrus-like sourness and alcohol. The aroma is somewhat like yogurt. I have the impression that the fruity aroma is difficult to detect because the fruit is frozen. It is certainly fruity and refreshing while being reserved. Would you describe this as "elegant"? Taste Smooth and very fresh on the palate. Silky on the tongue. Peach, muscat, apple, pineapple, rice. These are gentle sweetness. But along with the sweetness, you can feel the beautiful freshness on the tongue and enjoy the juicy and very pleasant taste. The aftertaste is a bit alcoholic on the nose. There is little acidity and no unpleasantness throughout. The fruity sweetness and deliciousness that spreads in the mouth is like snow melting away, and the lingering aftertaste is like that of a snow melting. The taste is also very "elegant. Summary I've said this many times because it's important, but this is a really "elegant" sake. However, it is not just modest. It is clean, beautiful, and fresh. But it is also bewitching, lustrous, and beautiful, just like a goddess. I fell in love with this goddess.

Jr.'s "BAKA label," a.k.a. the one that screamed "Corona's dumb ass". Personally, I loved that label design. But that's over. Last year it didn't shout BAKA, and this year it seems to have been reborn as a bright red label. [Aroma Fruity ginjo aroma. Pineapple, peach, green apple. A very nice, gorgeous aroma with a hint of fruit. Taste Smooth on the palate. Fruity and sweet taste of the aforementioned fruits. The juicy flavor of the rice is combined with the deliciousness of the fruit. Following the sweet and delicious taste, you can also taste the alcohol and gradual acidity. The lingering taste is also gradually sweet and delicious. Summary The Jr. series is as delicious as ever. It is very fruity. The taste of Yamadaho 44, the check-in this time, is more like a long aftertaste, or sweet and tasty, and the overall impression is tightened, including acidity. I think that Kamenoi Shuzo's sake, which is not made in a haphazard way, is really delicious.

I participated in the Chikumanishiki Sake Brewery open house event. This event is held twice a year in spring and fall. Is this an event-only sake? It is a combination of Miyamanishiki and Yamae Nishiki, the pride of Nagano Prefecture's sake rice. Assemblage in wine. Blended in whiskey. [Aroma Although the rice polishing ratio is 39%, the aroma is not so strong. This may be due to the nature of sake rice. The main aroma is sourness, and it is refreshing. Sour aroma of apple and pineapple, aroma of rice hulls. Aroma like orange peel. There is also a sense of alcohol. There are sweetness of rice and spiciness of sake in the citrus aroma. Such aroma. Taste. On the palate, there is a fresh sweetness like apple, pineapple, peach, and muscat on the tongue. However, the sweet fruity sensation is fleeting, and the mouth and nostrils are immediately flooded with sourness and pungency. In the aftertaste, the aforementioned sourness and pungency are easily overcome, and one can enjoy a gradually sweet feeling. Summary Sweet and fruity...? No! Spicy! ...But the aftertaste is gradually sweet! This sake is like that. It was not blended at the spring event. It was easier to drink this time. I wanted to buy another bottle of "Sakiya"! It was already sold out!

[Aroma Fruity ginjo aroma with sweetness. Apple, pineapple, rice sweetness, white grape. Mainly sweet aroma. There is a hint of sourness. It has a very gorgeous and nice aroma. Taste Smooth on the palate. The taste is very fresh and clear. The sweetness that is typical of Aizan is in the middle of it. Bwah! The juiciness of the fruit. Bwah! The sweet and happy taste blooms in your mouth. Aizan's good point (?). The acidity that complements the sweetness felt earlier also follows. It is not sweet all the way through. And the quintessential Ogawa yeast. In the aftertaste after swallowing the sake, the acidity is sharp and not unpleasant! The sweetness and umami of the rice, the sweetness of the fruit, and the soft sweet alcohol gradually fill the mouth and nostrils. Summary. A delicious sake that allows you to enjoy the unique sweetness and acidity of Aizan to your heart's content. It is sweet and delicious even when drunk in one gulp. It is also sweet and tasty when you savor it while rolling it around on your tongue. But it is not a juice, it is a sake. I was impressed by this sake last year, but it is a sake of the future with modern nuances, brewed by Jr. I am looking forward to drinking more sake from Jr. I am looking forward to drinking more sake from Jr. in the future.

Jr. Ogawa yeast that I bought in July but drink now. Drank it last year, will drink it again this year. [Aroma Clear and fruity ginjo aroma. Apple, orange peel, citrus, hints of peach and pineapple. Alcoholic aroma. Gorgeous and nice aroma. Mouthfeel. Smooth on the palate. Soft sweetness like rice, apple and peach is the first impression. There is also a hint of alcohol sweetness. As it rolls around on the tongue, the flavor switches to sourness and a slight bitterness appears. When the sake is swallowed, the aforementioned sweetness gradually fills the mouth in the aftertaste. The acidity and bitterness are quickly snapped out of it. They do not linger in the aftertaste at all. It is a blissful moment when you can enjoy a very pleasant aftertaste. Summary. Fruity sake. Sweet and fruity. But it also has acidity and bitterness. (It also has a sake-like taste.) But the sharpness after swallowing is too good, so there is no lingering bad taste. But the sharpness after swallowing the sake is too good, so there is no bad taste in the aftertaste at all. It is a very delicious sake. ❤️

Will we be able to see the sacred water crossing of Lake Suwa this year? Aroma The aroma is clear, but soft and fluffy. The aroma is not strong, but it has a gorgeous alcoholic aroma that is typical of the original sake. However, this aroma has a very sweet taste, and it is not harsh, but pleasant. Taste Smooth on the palate with an alcoholic taste. The aroma was subdued, but the taste was surprisingly rich. The taste of apples, melon, and muscat after the alcohol. Sweetness and umami of rice. Sweet rice cake. Little acidity. Slight bitterness. Sweet and mellow feeling can be enjoyed in the mouth and nostrils. But it has a good sharpness. Summary. The label says "umakuchi", but for me personally, the main taste is completely sweet. The official website says it has a sake meter of around +3, but I felt so much sweetness that I thought, "Really? I felt such sweetness. The rice polishing ratio is 70%, but I enjoyed the fruity flavor of a highly polished ginjo sake. It was delicious!

Yumemizuho with thoughts of Noto. Scent. A clean, sweet aroma. Ripe apples, peaches, pineapple, and pine muscat. The aroma is not so strong, but it is certainly fruity and reminds us of sweetness. Taste It has a pleasantly shwashy mouthfeel. The first impression is smooth and sweet. Honey, peach, sweet Shine Muscat with almost no sourness. The sweetness of rice and rice cakes. Somewhat sweet lactic acid bacteria drink. When you put it in your mouth, the sourness follows. However, once the sake has been swallowed, the acidity is very sharp and does not leave a bad aftertaste. The pungency is very slight and almost imperceptible. Finally, the sweetness felt on the palate gradually fills the mouth in the aftertaste, a blissful golden time. Summary. Sweet, refreshing and fruity sake. Is this a difference in the brewing process or a characteristic of Yumemizuho? The acidity was a little stronger than the Shinshu Kamerei sake I drank before. It is the Shinshu Kamerei, which is very popular right now. Of course it has acidity and spiciness, but they are only there to enhance the sweetness mentioned above. No wonder it is so popular in the sake world. Yes, it is pleasantly sweet even after drinking it again. Yes, it is delicious in every way.

Unusual varieties Junmai sake [Wa-no-jun) Liqueur [Jokon) Junmai sake "Wa-no-jun" is frozen in a special freezer to separate the water and alcohol content. The alcohol content is close to 40%. The production process is almost the same as that of sake, but legally, it cannot be labeled as sake, and must be labeled as a liqueur. As a whisky drinker who enjoys whisky straight or on the rocks, I found it to have a familiar taste. I had the good fortune to meet the person who designed the "special freezer," and he recommended that I buy two bottles. Wa no mellow It has the acidity and pleasant spiciness typical of junmai sake, and you can fully enjoy the flavor of the rice. I have been drinking fruity sake with high rice polishing recently, so I was very pleased with the taste of junmai sake I have not had for a long time. Sake brewing Simply put, it has the aroma and taste of aged sake with a high alcohol content. It seems to be aged in a jar, but for a short period of time. However, it has the same aroma and taste as the decades-old matured sake I drank before. The alcohol taste is surprising, and at the same time, the sweetness of the matured sake is also felt. I think it is delicious on the rocks or mixed with soda water or fruit juice.

Maybe it's because I have a cold in my nose... Aroma...not sure. I'll drink it again tomorrow. The taste is smooth on the palate. Easy to drink like water in a good sense. The aftertaste is slightly bitter. People who don't like the taste or acidity of strong sake may like this BORN GOLD because it is very easy to drink. On the other hand, some people may find the lightness of the sake, whether it is the aroma or the taste, to be insufficient. But this sake is definitely delicious!

7.21 seems to be a full moon in Capricorn. I enjoy a nightcap on the balcony, watching the full moon in the night breeze. I bought "Hitogokochi" (fire-brewed) at Kuramoto today. It has an aroma reminiscent of the Ramune I drank at a summer festival. Sweet and sour aroma reminiscent of soda pop at a summer festival. Apple, peach, pineapple, ... it's still generally Ramune. The aroma that comes out when you push the stopper of a marble into the bottle and open it. When you push in the stopper of a marble and open it, that aroma comes out. Clear and transparent, yet sweet and sizzling...that's how I imagine it. Taste Harmony of sourness and sweetness on the palate. A sense of sizzle. Easy to drink. Sourness is felt from the middle. The aftertaste is spicy. I knew it was sake, not ramune. As the aroma suggests, the taste is clear and transparent. Not too sweet, not too acidic or pungent, and a sharp taste! The schwashiness disappears after a little while. As the temperature approaches room temperature, the sourness and sweetness, as well as the umami of the rice, are revealed. Summary Easy to drink, fruity sake. You can enjoy the clear and crisp taste when it is cold, and you can also enjoy the umami of the rice when it is closer to room temperature. It is delicious.

I attended the Chikumanishiki brewery's brewery opening festival and purchased a bottle. Aroma. As it is only a pure sake with a rice polishing ratio of 39%, you can enjoy its fragrant, gorgeous, and refreshing ginjo aroma. Green apple, banana, rice husk, and alcohol aroma. Due to the fact that my last check-in was "Jr.'s Himitsu", I couldn't help but compare it to it.... Himitsu" has a sweet and fruity aroma. This time, "Sakiya" has mainly acidity, and I have the impression of a fruity aroma with a sweetness to it. Taste The mouthfeel is silky smooth, with pleasant fruity acidity, sweetness, and rice flavor. Banana, green apple, faint peach, rice husk aroma (acidity), and rice flavor. The combination of sweetness and acidity gives it a pineapple-like flavor. The lingering acidity gradually gives way to a light sweetness and a clean, crisp taste. It is easy to drink, and is just plain delicious. Summary. A refreshing and fruity junmai daiginjo that is easy to drink and offers both acidity and sweetness.

I bought it last year, I bought it again this year. [Aroma. Fruity ginjo aroma. The main aroma is sweet and sour, like ripe pineapple and apple. The aroma is sweet and sour, like ripe pineapple and apple, with a peach and rice-like flavor in the back. There is also a dry, sour aroma that is different from the fruit aroma, riding on the scent of alcohol. Mouthfeel Sweet on the palate. Pineapple and peach. In addition to the fruity sweetness, it has a sweet taste with a hint of honey. But it is not just sweet. Along with the sweetness comes alcohol and acidity. And it is as sharp as ever. It never becomes overly sweet in the mouth. You can enjoy "elegant sweetness" and "gentle sweetness" as the label on the back says. Fruity and sweet sake. Summary. I looked back at my review from last year and there seems to be quite a bit of change in how I feel about the aroma and taste from that time. I think last year was a shocking encounter. I think Kudoki-Ue's Jr. series is a wonderful sake that incorporates modern values into the good old traditional sake. I can feel the enthusiasm and passion of the brewer in this sake. I think I like that kind of sake.

Rice polishing ratio 55%, alcohol 16%. Aroma Aroma of green apple and fresh citrus fruits. It also has a sense of alcohol, and you can enjoy its gorgeous and clear ginjo aroma. As the temperature of the sake rises, a sweet aroma like bananas and peaches appear on top of the alcoholic aroma. Nice aroma! Mouthfeel Smooth and sweet on the palate. The main taste is the umami of the rice. The texture on the tongue has a shwashy feeling. Slightly sour pineapple overlaps with peach sweetness, with banana and melon in the distance? I think there are also bananas and melons in the distance. In short, it tastes fresh, sweet, and delicious. However, as the sake rolls around on the tongue, the acidity comes out, the umami of the rice is enhanced, and a hint of bitterness can also be felt. This is the moment when you realize, "Oh no, this is not fruit juice, but sake. This is the moment when you realize that this is not fruit juice but sake. After a little while after pouring it into the glass, the sizzling sensation gradually disappears as the temperature rises, and you can slowly enjoy the fresh sweetness and umami of the rice with the full fruitiness of this sake.

Since I live in Nagano Prefecture, I thought I should try drinking more local sake instead of drinking only kudoki-oi, as the year 2024 has just begun. But in the end, I drank some sake from outside the prefecture, but all of them were at drinking parties. I was so drunk that I don't remember what it tasted like, and I don't even remember the sake crocodile. I am sure it was good. It was a bitter disappointment. I am so sorry. And now, I'm drinking "Mujinkura ORO" in bed. Tachibanakura Shuzo. This is called Tachibanakura "Kikura". I have never had it before, so I bought it. The label is stylish, like wine. The shape of the bottle is also stylish with a streamlined design. Aroma The aroma is of rice flavor and a hint of sourness. The interesting thing about the aroma of this sake is that it has a slight "rocky shore" aroma. It really brought back memories of enjoying rock fishing in the summer. (This is overwhelmingly subjective). Taste Full-bodied and acidic on the palate. Sake degree is positive? It is dry with a touch of umakuchi. The aftertaste is clean and crisp. The aftertaste is short. The combination of umami and acidity in the nose reminds one of the aroma of "Iso" (rocky shore). Summary A food sake. Tachibanakura's sake is sold with this unique acidity and umami. It was a great sake that I would like to drink while eating something at an izakaya.

Yamadaho Polishing ratio 44 I read "Yamadaho" but I heard it is read as "Yamadabo"... Aroma Fruity ginjo aroma. Sourness aroma like a combination of apple, peach, and pineapple. Sourness is the main aroma, but there is also a soft sweetness. Nice aroma. You can also taste the umami of the rice from the aroma. Taste Sourness is the main taste on the palate. However, the sourness is followed by a fruity sweetness and the umami of the rice that spreads in the mouth. The balance of acidity, sweetness, and umami is very good, and it is very pleasant to drink. Summary This sake is not just a simple sweet and umami sake, but a sake with a delicious acidity. If the only flavor was sourness, it would be hard to choose who would drink it, but that is what the Jr. series is all about. The sweet and tasty flavor that does not overwhelm the palate is what brings it all together in the end, making it very easy to drink. Yamadaho sake rice is also known for its acidity and umami, and I wonder if this is a result of its characteristics. Since the middle of this year, I have been comparing the Jr. series and have come to understand the differences in aroma and taste between the different sake rice varieties. However, even looking back at past check-ins, it is difficult to convey the differences in writing.... I am not aiming to become a sake connoisseur, but....

Sake Mirai Jr. version Aroma Melon, pineapple, peach, apple. Beyond the fruit, there is a sense of alcohol. As it approaches room temperature, you can taste the flavor and sweetness of the rice. Very fruity and juicy ginjo aroma. [Mouthfeel Sweet on the palate. The sweetness clings to the tongue with a smooth texture. It is sweet like rice and sweet like a sweet potato. Peach, pineapple, lactobacillus drink, and apple sweetness. The aroma itself is very fruity, but the sweetness and umami of the rice stand out on the palate. Next to the sweetness is a slight sourness and bitterness. However, this sourness and bitterness are not overpowering, and they are quickly cleared up when the sake is swallowed. The aftertaste is dominated by the sweetness and umami of the rice in the mouth and nostrils. And this lingering taste is also gradually cleared up...it is delicious. Summary A sweet and delicious sake. The slight sourness and bitterness accentuates the sweet-umami on the palate and the sweet-umami aftertaste. The taste and aroma are quite different from the "Kudo Ue Sake Mirai" that we checked in the past, but they both complement the quality of "Sake Mirai" very well and are delicious. Personally, I would still recommend the Jr. series.

A gift. What is Gorobei Rice... Gorobei Rice is produced in a limited area near the Gorobei Irrigation Canal. The rice grown in the clear stream from Mt. Tateshina and the strong clay soil of Asashina is characterized by its stickiness and sweetness. The limited production of this rice and its delicious taste have made it a "phantom rice," a brand of rice that is rarely distributed in the market and is treated by high-class restaurants. (Reference: Shinshu Saku Travel Sightseeing Guide HP) Aroma A clear ginjo aroma. Fruity aroma with a hint of sourness. Green apple, sour pineapple, citrus. Taste Sweet on the palate. Sweetness that clings to the tongue. Sweetness like apple and pineapple. Not only sweet, but sourness and a hint of bitterness come into play in the middle of the taste. When swallowed, a weak pungency appears in the aftertaste. It has a good sharpness. Summary A refreshing and tasty sake. Easy to drink with sweetness. It is also wine glass type. ＜ Awards Gold Prize at the 2011 Wineglass Sake Awards. Brussels International Competition 1st SAKE selection 2019 Platinum Award
