Wakabayashi Brewery just resumed sake brewing in 2015. They recently won awards in Japan and abroad and were featured prominently in the local city's PR magazine. This year, they sold "Tsukiyoshino White," which won an award in France? The "Tsukiyoshino White," which won an award in France this year, was already sold out. Too bad. Aroma Fruity ginjo aroma. The aroma is sweet with a hint of sourness like green apple, muscat, grapefruit, and LaFrance. The softly sweet alcohol taste is unique to the sake. Gorgeous and pleasant aroma. Mouthfeel Fruity on the palate. Sweet and delicious with a hint of sourness. It has a sweet taste of apple, sweet lactic acid beverage, grapefruit, and the alcohol taste of raw sake. In addition to the alcohol taste, bitter and pungent tastes appear on the tongue and in the nasal cavity, and they expand! After swallowing the sake, the aforementioned alcohol, bitterness, and pungency appear to cover the fruity sweetness and umami sensation felt on the palate, creating a surprisingly dry feeling that finishes with a kick...that's how it feels. Summary This "Tsukiyoshino no Hana" is said to have a negative sake degree, but I got the impression that the pungency and bitterness were easily perceptible in the aftertaste! This sake has everything: fruity sweetness, bitterness, and spiciness! I'm curious to see the rest of the lineup!

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.
