In a pure white bottle! No front label! I bought this at the recent Chikumonishiki Sake Brewery opening. How does it smell and taste? Aroma Clear and fruity ginjo aroma. It has a sweet and exquisitely sour apple aroma. It is citrusy, but also has a hint of sweetness. Apples, pineapples, peaches, bananas... The nose is a jewel box of fruits. It makes me happy. You can enjoy this aroma more fully if you drink it in a wine glass. Taste The mouthfeel is sweet and tasty. Easy to drink. The acidity, umami and sweetness of the rice spread over the tongue and fill the mouth. It is not the type of sake with a sharp taste, and you can also enjoy the lingering aftertaste. The pungent taste of sake escapes through the nose. In the mouth, you can enjoy the lingering aftertaste of rice flavor and acidity. This is delicious. I think I bought it for about 1,700 yen, but I am sure it was a festival price and the real price is much higher.... I don't think it's sold on the internet. Is it a festival-only sake? I should have talked to the staff before buying it! I personally need to check out the Yoshidaya series of Chikuma-Nishiki!

I was super excited because I had never had Chikuma-Nishiki even though I live in Nagano Prefecture. The bottle was very cute with a cherry blossom pattern that reminded me of spring. The aroma A faint orangey citrusy sour aroma with a soft sweetness like Daifuku rice cake. It is accompanied by a soft sweet aroma like Daifuku rice cake. Behind that, there is a light twang of alcohol. ...The combination of these aromas makes for a very gorgeous, fresh aroma! Interesting! It may be close to the esthetic aroma expressed in the whisky world! Taste. The palate is refreshing, with a light acidity and the sweetness and umami of the rice spreading to the palate. The alcohol that I sensed in the aroma was also present in the taste, expanding the aforementioned acidity and umami in the mouth. What surprised me was that the alcohol was not unpleasant at all, and it was in harmony with the deliciousness of the sake, creating a very fresh taste! Amazing! A flavor I have never experienced before! This fresh and delicious sake is only available in spring. Is this what the world's fresh stored sake tastes like? I don't know because I don't have much experience, but this is a gem that made me want to try a variety of fresh stored sake! It is currently available at the official Chikumonishiki online store.

Another Aeon Liquor limited edition. I had bought Hanaharu, Blooming, and Momokawa. [Aroma The aroma is very fruity, as only a junmai daiginjo can be. The aroma is very fruity, as is typical of junmai daiginjos, with a refreshing apple-like aroma and a soft banana aroma. There is also a slight citrus aroma. Nice aroma. Taste The flavor is sweet, but not too sweet. Not too sweet. Not too sweet, but not spicy either. The acidity is moderate and very easy to drink. The mouthfeel is full of the flavor of rice. It is sharp and has a slight spiciness in the aftertaste. While the previous check-in "Sakita" was fresh on the tongue and had a sharp taste, this time, you can enjoy a rich umami taste on the tongue. That is my impression. The flavor itself is not so strong, so it seems to go well with food! Another delicious Junmai Daiginjo. As a sake novice, I was very happy to see this Aeon Liquor limited edition. All Junmai Daiginjos are priced at 1,078 yen including tax. There are more than 10 varieties to choose from. Aeon Liquor limited edition products........ (2nd time)

Junmai Daiginjo, a limited edition of Aeon Liquor, available for about 1000 yen. Is Hanaharu, which I checked in before, one of them? *I drink it cold. [Aroma. Fresh and fruity impression. I wonder what it is...I feel a very fresh ginjo aroma. Mainly green apple? It smells somewhat like bananas. (It turns into a banana-filled aroma when it gets close to room temperature!) (It turns into a banana-filled aroma when it gets close to room temperature! Taste. The mouthfeel is very light and fresh. It is smooth and really fresh. The easy-drinking mouthfeel is followed by the umami of the rice. It is not just light. After the freshness, the mouth is like a flower blooming, and the umami of the rice spreads softly...that is the impression I got. The sharpness of the flavor is good. The acidity is low. The lingering aftertaste is a little spicy as the flowers fall out. This is delicious. I am sure it goes well with a variety of meals. There seems to be almost no reviews of this sake, but it is just plain delicious! For those who want a light dry sake to go with meals, or for those who want to enjoy sake in a more casual way, I think this is a very good value for money! An Aeon Liquor limited edition.....you should be afraid of it....

I found another version of Kyo Hime and bought it because I enjoyed the Kyo Hime Shuku Junmai Daiginjo Genshu that I checked in before. I had it cold, which is the recommended way to drink it. Aroma Fruity aroma. Peach and pineapple. Slight citrus. It is reminiscent of a luscious flavor. Taste. The mouthfeel is smooth and light. It is easy to drink, with a sweetness that matches the aroma. It is not spicy. Slightly acidic. The taste of rice, sweetness, pineapple, white grapes, and bitter chocolate-covered orange peel lingers on the palate. Easy to drink, just like the celebrated Harazake! This sake is as easy to drink as a sweet white wine. No wonder it has won the highest gold medal at the "Delicious Sake in a Glass of Wine Awards. The hollyhock mark on the label is also stylish.

Sake meter rating +1 Smooth and soft on the palate, with a taste of rice flavor and sweetness. Another easy-drinking sake! Kusawawaishua was also smooth to drink, but it left little lingering aftertaste, leaving a crisp, clean finish! Unlike Kawawa, this new Un'yei has a nice, smooth taste that spreads in the mouth, making it very pleasant to drink! It was interesting to compare the two and see the difference! Personally, I think I prefer Sukiri.

Purchased at Aeon Liquor. Nice to meet you at Haruhana. Something about it, I didn't get caught in many searches on the internet except for Sake-no-wa. The taste is fruity! It is smooth and sweet, just like the name "Umakuchi". In a good sense, it is easy to drink like a juice. However, the lingering aftertaste is also pungent. The sharpness is good, and there is no unpleasant taste. Compared to recent drinks, it is sweeter than Koshino-Kanmei Kwaiswa. That is my impression. I am sure that Hanaharu's other brands that are not "umakuchi" would also be delicious! I can recommend this to women and sake beginners! It is perfect for sake veterans who want sweetness!

Alcohol 15%, Rice polishing ratio 90%, Sake degree +4 to +7 Acidity 3.0-6.0, Amino acidity 2.8-3.5 My wife gave this to me on a business trip, saying, "If you drink organic wine, you should also drink this. Looking at the specs, it seems to have quite a unique character! We compared the wines by drinking it warmed and chilled! Cold The aroma is sweet. I could smell the inside of a rice bag containing threshed rice. Slight hint of soy sauce. On the palate, one senses a complex acidity, but the umami of the rice comes through later! The aftertaste is short and crisp. This complex and intense acidity must be the reason for the 90% rice polishing ratio...! Warming up The aroma is milder and sweeter than in the cold sake. The aroma is milder and sweeter than cold, with a hint of sourness. The taste is a combination of sourness and sweetness, which were clearly separated when cold. The sourness is more complex and stronger than when cold! And the sourness itself seems to be covered with sweetness! When returned to room temperature, it approaches the flavor of cold. As the label says, this complex sourness, which is like a "miscellaneous taste," enhances the original flavor of the rice...this is the kind of sake we are looking for. I think those who are hooked on this sake will never be able to go back to modern, mild and refined sake again! I am sure that sake in the past was like this!

The quality of the sake is light and dry...or is it? Not fruity or gory [sweetness], but pleasant rice [umami]. Anyway, it is easy to drink. I'd like to pair it with a meal! Now that I'm tasting Kawafushi by itself, I'm craving something to eat! This is easy to drink!

The aroma is luscious, apple-like and pineapple-like. The taste is one word [sweet] on the palate. Sweet like a sweet white wine, butou sweetness. A hint of pineapple. The flavor of rice. Not only sweet, but the aftertaste of this sake gives you the pungent taste of sake. I thought, "Oh, this is not wine, but sake..." I personally recommend drinking it slowly, savoring it in a wine glass rather than during a meal.
