Jikin Junmai Oorigarami Nama Sake. When it first comes out of the ice compartment, it has a robust but gentle capsule-like aroma. The upper part of the nose is smooth with a tangy acidity that comes first and then hides the umami and sweetness, followed by bitterness in the second half and a bitter astringency in the aftertaste. The aroma becomes a little silky when the casks are mixed. The texture becomes rounder and thicker, and the sharp acidity softens. The umami and sweetness from the back of the bottle are well balanced, creating a synergistic effect that makes it even more delicious. The bitterness from the latter half of the bottle is also felt, but it is masked by the ori, and the astringency at the end is also gently enveloped. I prefer it cold from the flower, but I personally prefer it to muddy. Thank you very much!

The iso-type aroma is typical of the relatively mild Fujiichi Sake Brewery. The relatively smooth texture on the tongue is followed after a beat by a rush of umami and acidity, with sweetness leading the way. The acidity continues to develop in the mid-palate, and while the sweetness and umami can be felt, there is also an astringent and astringent taste in the aftertaste with the acidity at the forefront. The sweetness is interesting with a variety of complex flavors. When warmed to human body temperature or lukewarm, it softens a bit, but also has a slight alkaline taste. The sweetness decreases as the sake warms up, and the acidity becomes more pronounced as the sake heats up. The flavor does not change when heated, but the acidity remains. At 65, the sweetness and umami are reduced considerably and a hint of sweetness is felt, but the taste is dry. Even when cooled, the sweetness comes out in the foreground, and the overall flavor is round, with a gentle tang. When slightly added, it adds a crisp flavor that is also good. The strength of this sweetness and sake quality is a true feat. We are looking forward to the next season.

The aroma is gentle, but has a hint of water and iso-type melon. The tongue is soft and flabby, and the acidity is firm, but the umami has a good thickness. The balance is good, and the moderately firm acidity and moderate sweetness are exquisite, and the aftertaste is smooth and beautiful. Personally, I would hardly call it dry, but I feel that it is a "good sake" that is light and has a good flavor and sharpness that makes it easy to drink on its own or with a meal. It is already too hot this year, but it is great for when you feel the heat.

Eiheiji Hakuryu Junmai Daiginjo Nama Storage. It has a slightly gorgeous aroma of rice and grains. It has a smooth and smooth texture on the tongue, and the acidity and sweetness come together with a little firm umami to create a harmony. The acidity asserts itself from the mid-palate, and the umami and sweetness are also present, so the wine is not bland in its beautiful flavor, but has depth and a good sense of body. It is also good when lightly heated. The sharpness in the latter half is moderate, but the acidity and sweetness can be felt until the end, and the lingering aftertaste is also moderate. The sake has a gentle yet deep umami and sweetness.

A delicious bottle that I had again the other day. Still mild but fruity with grain and a hint of aging. This is the second time this season, so my comment may not change. It has a slightly soft thickness with a beautiful umami and a tangy acidity, and yet the light bitterness gives the taste a solid structure. The sweetness is moderate and mellow, and the lingering flavor is good, with a hint of acidity and dryness. I really like it!

Tobiroki Special Junmai Kasumi Sake. It has a melon-like aroma with a slight green tinge. The slight gasiness and tangy acidity are backed up by a gentle umami and sweetness. The taste order is the opposite of last year's, but the balance is the same. The acidity and umami that spreads after the gentle sweetness also spreads at once this year. The freshness can be felt from the mid-palate, while the bitterness and a slight astringency can be felt in the aftertaste, and it finishes well. The aftertaste is also pleasant and delicious. Tobiroki has few seasonal brands, but we are grateful for the once-in-a-lifetime encounter.

Jikin Junmai Ginjo Asahi Hi-ire. Relatively calm again this year, but with a gorgeous yet subdued grain-like iso-type ginjo aroma. It is smooth on the palate, and this time the full sweetness comes first, followed by a gentle rounded acidity. The three-dimensional umami and acidity spread from the mid-palate, and the depth of flavor can only be achieved with rice. This year's wine is firm from the first touch, and while it is medium, the lingering taste, which is mainly acidity from the mid-palate, is also well balanced with sweet umami and acidity, making it easy to pair with food as well as on its own. It can be matched with food and is also delicious on its own, and personally, it is quite delicious.

Bishu Kotobuki Junmai Sake, aged for one year in ice-cold storage, is unfiltered and unpasteurized. When you take a sip, it has a yellowish color and a pleasant yet robust iso-type aroma. The top clearness is smooth with a pleasantly thick acidity and umami. When mixed with a small amount of ori, it has a slightly milky and gentle flavor, but at the same time, it is powerful and complex and delicious. The slightly heavy body of the middle class is supported by the acidity and umami, and the peculiar sweetness is still Nagoya or Gifu? Gifu? It seems to go well with rice. When the lees are mixed, a silky flavor is added, and it becomes both powerful and gentle. Every year it changes, and the direction changes as well. However, the taste as a brewery is in the same direction and it is a man's sake. Thank you very much again for this season!

Fuku Chitose THE BREW SAKE 14% 720ml [yamahai limited After coming out of the ice compartment, it has a mild melon-like aroma. It has a smooth but slightly soft texture on the tongue. It has a gentle yet soft fruity flavor and sweetness, with a fresh sourness that lingers on the palate. The finish is sharp and fades away quickly, leaving a sour and bitter aftertaste. It is a low alcohol, alky, and seems to be good for a light meal. It would go well with ginger and green laver sashimi konnyaku.

Nabeshima special honjozo. The aroma is mild but gorgeous. The slightly tinted color of the sake gives it a smooth, yet deep and thick texture. The slight gasiness or tangy pleasant acidity masks the strong sweetness and leaves a strong sweetness on the tongue, but it also has a nice sharpness. The sweetness tends to linger on the palate, but it is kept in check thanks to the addition of hydrogenated alcohol. Personally, I'd be happy with a little more aluzoe sharpness, but I think this flavor will be liked by a wider range of people. It can be served warm or with a splash of tonic, and I think it is a great sake. I would like to try many different kinds of sake.

Jikin Junmai Ginjo Omachi Unfiltered Nama. The aroma is gentle and soft, but has a gorgeous cappiness. It has a pleasantly strong acidity and umami, and a gentle sweetness comes in afterwards. The taste slowly fades away and bitterness appears, with a slight bitterness in the aftertaste. This latter half of the taste is what tightens up the entire flavor and cannot be missed. Thank you again.

Bishu Kotobuki Junmai Unfiltered Nama Sake. The aroma is relatively mild, with an iso-type aroma reminiscent of blue melon. The color is a little yellow, and when you drink it, you can sense a banana-like overtone and at the same time feel a strong acidity. The depth of the umami and the sweetness that accompanies it are followed by a fruity bitterness. The acidity is relatively quick, but the bitterness can be felt, so it goes well with resetting a meal. It has a strong Otoko taste, but it also has a three-dimensional taste, which I feel is a flavor originating from the brewery. I am looking forward to the next season!

Shinsei PRIVATE Labo Flax Cat Junmai Sake. I opened a bottle of this season's First lot, as I see that work prevents me from attending the event. The taste is fresh with a refreshing acidity that also feels fresh, but the texture feels a bit hard on the tongue. The aroma is pleasant with relatively mild grain and citrus. This year, the acidity remains moderate and the sweetness is a little subdued, spreading at the same time as the umami. The astringency and bitterness that can be felt from the mid-palate are also delicious, but they are gentle and distinct from the grapefruitiness that can be felt at times. Although the high temperature of the rice makes it difficult to produce sweetness, this is still a delicious wine.

Jikin Preparation Unfiltered Nama. The aroma is relatively gorgeous, with a hint of capsule. When you drink it, the freshness spreads and a fine and beautiful acidity comes out. After a while, the acidity expands, and at the same time, the smooth umami and moderate sweetness spread out in a well-balanced manner. The freshness of the unfiltered draft is pleasantly apparent with a hint of gas. It is not sharply sweet, which is popular among capsicums, but has a well-balanced flavor that can be easily matched with food. Jikin's Yamada-Nishiki is also good this year. The pleasant bitterness characteristic of Jikin from the mid-palate is also good, and the taste is pleasant, with a bitterness and umami lingering in the mouth gradually after you think it is finished. Personally, I think it is my favorite taste of Jikin, second only to Tokujun, and is consistently delicious.

Echizenmisaki Tailings Sake - May Fire Brewing This sake is a blend of only Daiginjo and Tailings Sake. The aroma has a gentle grain ginjo type nuance from the top clearings. It is soft, clean, and smooth, but a tangy acidity follows, spreading umami and a moderate sweetness. When the tailings are mixed, the aroma is of rice. The taste is clean and smooth, and the milky flavor gradually sinks in. The acidity is masked a little by the tailings, and the acidity and umami intertwine in a well-balanced manner with a moderate sweetness. It is a relatively refreshing sake with a crisp and easy-to-drink taste. It goes very well with stewed chicken motsu and sansho. I think I will buy more.

The taste is thick and smooth. It is smooth and pleasant to drink, with a rich taste of sweetness and acidity, while the umami of the rice can also be tasted.
