Tsuneyama Junmai Daiginjyo Mellow Dry Pole. The ginjo aroma is gentle and pleasantly iso-ish. The soft mouthfeel spreads smoothly and gives a sense of freshness. It is soon followed by a tangy acidity and a deep umami flavor. The sweetness is also felt, but the acidity is constant and assertive, and the overall flavor has a good sharpness and three-dimensionality. The aftertaste is slightly bitter, but the transparency and sharpness of the taste makes it possible to match it with a variety of meals. Personally, I would like to match it with seafood with delicate flavors.

Houou Mita Aizan 40%5% Arashiri Oshikiri Merger Junmai Daiginjo Kamisu Hon Nama Sake. It is already a bad sake from the specs! The aroma is gentle and capsule-like. The top clearness gives it a slightly hard texture on the tongue, It has a dry, tangy acidity with a slight carbonation, and the sweet flavor that follows is surprisingly smooth. The taste is not changed drastically even if it is mixed, but it becomes softer and softer with the addition of a slightly soft and silky oli flavor. The overall taste is gentle and relatively light, but the sweet and savory taste of Aizan remains and the final taste is light with a peculiar bitterness. It is hard to tell from the design whether this year's rice is hard to dissolve, but I can understand the mood of those who want to sleep on it, as I was told in advance. Personally, I think this luxurious sake is one that I would like to see change as I drink it, so I will drink it a little at a time, except for the first day!

Hikakami Hatsushibori Kasumi Sake. The ginjo aroma is soft and refreshingly sweet. The top clear taste has a smooth texture with a hint of gas, a gradual acidity, and a round, gentle umami and sweetness. When the ori is mixed with the sake, it is smooth, but the rounded flavor is thickened and followed by a tangy acidity. The acidity is followed by a smooth umami and sweetness that is refreshing, but the bitterness that appears in the latter half seems to produce a good kill. The balance between the gentle and refreshing umami, the thickness of the cask, and the crispness is exquisite, and I think this is a bottle that will make you think this season will be another delicious one to start with.

Toyobai Junmai Ginjo-straight-draft unfiltered raw sake. The ginjo aroma is soft, elegant and fruity. It has a freshness and freshness that seeps through smoothly with a slight gasiness. When you taste it, the gentle yet tangy acidity, gradual umami, and round sweetness are also good, and the spread of acidity from the mid-palate and the bitterness and astringency in the back give it depth. Personally, I think this fresh acidity from the mid-palate is very good, and the fade and sharpness that comes with the addition of bitterness further enhances the food-friendly taste. The brewery hand pumps the wine directly, so there seems to be a lot of individual differences, but this freshness is the real pleasure of freshly squeezed sake. It was great!

Echino Taka Shiboritate Junmai sake. The aroma is relatively mild, but has a nice iso-type aroma. The upper part of the nose has a rounded mouthfeel with a firm umami flavor, which is immediately followed by a tangy acidity that gradually fades away. When the casks are mixed, the aroma and mouthfeel have a silky nuance. The taste of the casks slightly masks the 17% alcohol content and the strength of the acidity, and the moderate umami is also good. While the acidity and umami are well balanced, there is also a slight sweetness in the background. The finish is exquisite, with a touch of bitterness and a touch of alcohol. There is a slight bitterness in the aftertaste, but there is also a sweet and delicious shadow here, which gives the sake a good sense of alcohol and sharpness, as well as depth. It can be served as a stand-alone sake or as an in-between-dinner drink.

La Jo mon Otokoyama Shuzo Junmai Daiginjo Nanuka no Terrestrial Picture (tentative) The aroma is gorgeous, with a mixture of pineapple and melon. The soft and full mouthfeel is enhanced by the complex interplay of acidity, umami, and sweetness. In a sake bowl, it is smooth and clean, and in a sake glass, the umami that falls on the tongue can be judged more easily and interestingly. From the mid-palate, the acidity comes forward a little, but the richness that pervades and the well-balanced flavor give it a three-dimensional quality. The aftertaste is relatively sharp, and behind the acidity, there is a supple, clear, beautiful sweetness and a pleasant slight bitterness that is also good. It is a bottle of such complexity and deliciousness that it is a shame to drink it.

Jikin Junmai Ginjo-shu Mirai Unfiltered Nama. It has a relatively gorgeous rummy aroma with a hint of banana in the latter half of the aroma. It has a slightly round and flabby texture, with a hint of gas and a gentle, tangy acidity. The umami and sweetness are well balanced and follow each other without being too assertive. The sweetness and umami of the sake's future are well balanced and intertwined with the acidity, giving the light-bodied sake a deep flavor. The middle part of the bottle also has a strong samadai with acidity at its peak, and the aftertaste is pleasantly sharp and different in texture from the first half, with a gentle bitterness. The harmony of the unfiltered, Sake Mirai-like flavor of the first half and the freshness of the second half was an enjoyable cup.

Tenbi Junmai Ginjo Nigori Yukiten. It has a silky, melon-like aroma when it is just out of the ice compartment. The top clear finish has a clear, soft acidity and sweet umami, with a slight bitterness in the latter half. When the casks are mixed, the silky aroma stands out with a fresh acidity and a tangy gaseous feeling. In the middle part of the bottle, bitterness is added, and it finishes relatively sharply while retaining its acidity. The sake cup should be HONRIKI for the umami, SAKE BOWL for the freshness, and SAKURAI SOHJU SOUKYU SOHGOHATSU for the smoothness. The acidity and bitterness from the mid-part of the bottle may divide people, but it is a good taste.

Wakamusume Junmai Ginjo Usunigori Hanabachibana. The aroma is gentle, with a hint of milkyness and pear. The top clear taste is relatively smooth and juicy with a gaseous sensation on the tongue, but the umami and sweetness are slightly restrained. When the top clear taste is mixed with the oli, the milky flavor of the oli is clearly felt along with the acidity from the gaseous sensation, and the depth of the taste is also felt deeply. However, the umami and sweetness are still a little subdued, but the tangy acidity that develops is also pleasant. The middle to latter half of the wine is moderately balanced with a gentle acidity, but the umami and sweetness are clearly visible in the back. And yet, the slight bitterness at the end is wonderfully designed to give a sense of dryness. Wakamusume is a delicious sake that rarely misses the mark!

Etsukaijin Junmai Ginjo Kurosawa Kame no O Unfiltered Nama. This was my personal favorite sake at the last regular meeting. The aroma is soft but pleasant with grain, nuts, and a hint of bitterness. When you sip it in a sake bowl, it has a slight astringency, but at the same time, it has a slight sweetness with a hint of sugar in the acidity and umami with a hint of rum raisins. The harmony between the gentle and rich flavors is great, and it has a wonderful sense of depth and dimension. It was a wonderful sake for me personally!

Tenmei Junmai Namaishu Nakadori Zero. It has a gentle ginjo aroma before it is taken out of the ice compartment to mix in the ori. When you drink it, you will feel a light gasiness, beautiful acidity, umami, and sweetness. After mixing in the cage, it also has a smooth and smooth taste. When you drink it, you will feel the gasiness, a slightly stronger umami and acidity, and a slightly delayed sweetness, and the overall flavor is fresh. This beautiful flavor is the same as every other year, and this year, while fading slowly, the gentle acidity and astringency leaves a slight aftertaste, making it a good match with food. I drank it in a hontakuinokuchi, a sake bowl, and a Sake Research Institute glass, and this time the flavors varied to an interesting degree. Personally, I prefer the sake bowl for its balance, but the Hontoshi for its acidity. It was a treat. The slow lingering taste is really good, and the slight bitterness at the end is pleasant. The balance is so good that I want to drink this sake every year.

Kangiku Denshogiku Junmai Daiginjo Unfiltered Nama-shu. It has a pleasantly sweet capsule-like aroma. It has a slight gassiness and gentle acidity, and although it is not as thick as it should be, it has a spreading sweetness and a following umami. The contrast between the sweet umami that extends from the mid-palate and the slight bitterness that comes lightly in the latter half and the subtle aftertaste is beautiful. I always check the sake with a hontaiinokuchi, a sake bowl, and a Sake Research Institute glass at the same time, but this time I definitely preferred to drink it with the Sake Research Institute glass! Thanks for the treat!

The first-ever junmai ginjo from the Tsuneyama tank factory. Slightly silky, white peachy aroma. This year, it has a light roundness, but with a good breadth of mouthfeel. It has a moderate piquancy, but the gasiness is accompanied by a fresh fruitiness and a relatively modest umami and sweetness. The acidity and bitterness that comes forward from the mid-palate create a pleasant contrast between dryness and umami. The complexity of the taste and the bitterness with a tangy aftertaste at the end also reset the meal. It is a new sake and juicy, but it is also a delicious sake that accepts food.

Tomikyucho Junmai Hatsu Shibori Hattanso Nama Sake. It has a gentle yet fragrant grain and fresh muscat-like aroma. When poured into a glass, it has a beautiful aroma and a smooth texture with a slight bubbly feeling. Perhaps due to the softness of the water, a light acidity and a fresh, gentle flavor permeate the taste buds. The sweetness is also soft, and the overall taste is green and fresh, reminiscent of new sake. The concentrated umami and depth behind this lightness is delicious. It was a delicious taste suitable for this year and the first bottle of new sake 😄.

Shinmasa Shuzo colors Viridian. The lactic acidity from the soft sake yeast is pleasant, and the aroma of wooden vats is faintly perceptible. The sweet and sour acidity is once light, but the depth of flavor and depth of texture is one of the most solid flavors in the Shinmasa lineup. The complex aroma and flavor are both moderately and gently sweet without being too spine-tingling. The acidity and umami are well balanced from the mid-palate, and this flavor also gives a sense of lightness. It is a delicious sake with roundness and depth. I know it was hard work in terms of rice, but I personally feel that Viridian has become even more delicious since last year. That said, I will miss it in the future.

Jikin Junmai Ginjo Asahi Hi-ire. Relatively calm but gorgeous ginjo aroma. When you drink it, it is smooth on the palate, with a gentle rounded acidity, and at the same time, a full umami and sweetness. The complex acidity spreads toward the mid-palate, and the depth and three-dimensionality of the acidity intertwines with the umami and sweetness. Although it is relatively light for its depth and breadth of flavor, it is well worth drinking on its own. It can be paired with food, and is also delicious on its own, in my opinion.

Shinmasa Shuzo Akizakura 2023 has a mild and refreshing green apple-like aroma. The nose is mild and refreshing, with a green apple-like aroma, and the nose is smooth and clear, with a hint of cherry. The tangy acidity and complex, three-dimensional umami spread through the mouth at once, yet the taste is relatively refreshing. Shinmasa has a relatively juicy and gentle image, but this one is especially gentle. Personally, I like it at room temperature, when its character comes out. I think this is the unique taste of Shinsei, which pushes out the individuality of each wooden vat or rod.

Natural Township CUVEE '18. They have made an assemblage of several oak barrel storage. It has aromatic oak wood, vanilla and honey-like caramel aroma. The aroma of oak barrels can be felt more firmly when it is contained in a real connoisseur's cup, and it is slightly softened in a sake bowl or a glass made by the Sake Brewery Research Institute. The mild mouthfeel has a gentle acidity, umami, and sweetness that blend together to create a complex flavor. From the medium size, you can feel the nuance of oak and chocolate from the complex flavor. The balance is relatively light, but not too heavy, so whiskey lovers may enjoy it! I like it.

Kamo Kanehide Junmai-shu, warmed sake. Pleasant mellow aroma of grain. Gentle umami, restrained acidity and sweetness when chilled. In the sun or on human skin, it starts to show a little acidity. When lukewarm, the aroma is pleasant. When hot, the aroma is subdued, but the acidity starts to come out smoothly. When it is not hot, the aroma is also restrained by alcohol, but it is smooth and the acidity and bitterness are consistent, and the sweetness is delicious. When warmed up to 40 degrees, it has a strong sulu (smooth) flavor, and when warmed down to 40 degrees, it has a stronger umami flavor, which is also delicious. Personally, I liked it lukewarm to hot, and a little more lukewarm.
