Gassan Tomonori Junmai Ginjo Nakadori Oorigarami Nama-nama-shu. The supernatant has a fresh and pleasant aroma of green apple and muscat. After taking it out of the ice compartment and warming it up a little. It has a slight gasiness and refreshing sweetness with a well-balanced acidity and umami that lingers on the tongue. The aroma becomes silky when you mix in the corkage. The taste is added a cute touch, and the balance of the three flavors expands in width and depth. It is a bottle with a gentle sweet and sour taste and a wonderful overall harmony.

ごう
Nabeshima style label Junmai Ginjo Nama Sake. It has a pleasant ginjo aroma that is fruity and gorgeous. It has a mild and smooth texture on the tongue, with a slight gasiness and gentle acidity. In a good gulping sake, you can taste a light bitterness and a hint of bitterness as well as sourness from the middle part of the bottle. Many people tend to dislike bitterness and astringency, but I believe that this is an element that makes the sake more enjoyable and goes well with food, and is valued by many breweries. Personally, I found this year's Kaze label to be more balanced and tasty than last year's. I am thinking of buying more. I'm thinking of buying more 😊.

Isshaku Suisei Junmai Ginjo Gin no Sei Shinshu Nama Shu. It has a pleasant fruity ginjo aroma. The gentle, smooth texture on the tongue is accompanied by a slight spiny, fruity sweetness and umami that spreads out with a sense of transparency. The soft acidity and bitter bitterness that follows, which gives a sense of complexity, are also good with food.

The essence of Jungin Gin no Sei. Silky, pleasant ginjo aroma. Rounded texture and freshness on the tongue. Sugar-like sweetness with a tangy acidity and good umami. The aftertaste with air. It is characterized by the acidity that surrounds it, with a hint of sweetness like Japanese sweets or apricots on the tongue. Personally, I love it if you like sweet sake!

Omote Ondokoro One Year Aged Sansho 2023 Koko Bagged When the cork is opened, there is a pleasant gaseous sound even though it is stored in an ice-cold cellar. The aroma is a pleasant white grape-like 4MMP aroma. When you try to drink it, you can also smell the fragrant aroma. When you include it, you can feel the smoothness on the tongue with a slight lactic acidity and acidity. The taste is complex and sweet with a hint of bitterness, and the graininess and slight roughness of the flavor run up the palate. The timing was not right for this season, but I wanted to compare them. It was delicious!

ごう
HelloWorld4th by Sakelabo Tokyo. The nose has a hint of pear and white grape. The texture is slightly rounded on the tongue. It is easy to drink with a fresh and milky taste, and the mild umami and sweetness are light and easy to feel. It has a light, clean, low-alcoholic taste, though it also has a hint of sake yeast. However, from the middle part of the bottle, you can taste bitterness along with sourness, and a little later, bitterness as well. This taste from the mid-part of the bottle gives it a three-dimensionality and a taste that can be matched with food. Considering the secondary fermentation in the bottle, it might be interesting to let it sit for a while. Thanks for having it again this year 😊.

ごう
Chiyonohana Shiboritate Special Junmai Sake. The aroma is a gorgeous mixture of cappuccino and iso. The taste is mellow on the tongue, with a spicy, strong sweetness characteristic of Sugihara Sake Brewery at first, mingled with a soft sweetness later, from which a gentle umami is felt. The taste is followed by a sense of bitterness, and this bitterness is the flavor that accompanies the meal in the sweetness. Overall, the body is a bit heavy, and it would definitely go well with regional food. It is a quintessential Urazumi flavor.

ごう
Jikin Junmai Ginjo Senbon Nishiki Hi-ire The aroma is gentle and capsule-like. Like last year, it has a smooth texture and a pleasant medium body with a gentle but cute acidity, moderate sweetness, and umami. It has a nice freshness even though it is fire-aged. It has a nice acidity with a hint of bitterness and lingering astringency. I've been trying heated sake for years, but I think I like this one from the flower to the sun. I still think Jikin is the best of the capsicums, and I think Senbon Nishiki is the best of them all.

ごう
Bishu Kotobuki Kame-no-o Shichiai Yeast, unfiltered draft. Aged for about a year in the cellar. The aroma is of melon with a hint of seme. When you drink it, you will feel the spreading umami and smooth texture on the tongue at the same time. It has a complex bitter-savory taste with umami, and the acidity, umami, and sweetness are all in one. It has a robust flavor, but it cuts off nicely, making it relatively easy to drink over and over again. The strong acidity, slight bitterness, and complexity of the flavor are also to my liking. It can be served in the sun or warmed up to human body temperature, and it seems to go well with simmered dishes and other strong flavored dishes.

Jikin Jungin Hachigannishiki Hi-iri. When opened at ice temperature, it has a mild capricious aroma. It has a mildly thickened texture with a light sweet acidity that seeps into the mouth. This year, the umami and a little bitterness come quickly. From the mid-palate, you can taste the umami extending with a slight bitterness. This year, too, the wine disappears relatively cleanly, with a lingering bitterness that is nice.

Jikin Special Junmai Sake Hi-ire Slightly gentle capsule aroma. The slightly rounded texture on the tongue is pleasant with a good acidity that comes in spicy tones. The medium body is good from the mid-palate, and the bitterness comes in moderately with a hint of sourness and finishes off nicely. I think it has been brushed up even more. Thank you very much.

Jikin Toku Junmai Unfiltered Nama. The aroma is a little gentle and cappuccinatory. The slightly rounded texture on the tongue has a pleasant petit gas feeling and a good acidity that comes in spurts. It has been slightly changed since the August shipment, and I think it has been brushed up even more. Thank you very much.

Hato Masamune Unfiltered Nama Sake. It has a moderate aroma of iso and kapu like pears. It has a light, round, and moderately thick texture on the tongue. The umami that is gradually felt is quickly followed by a tangy acidity. The aftertaste is bitter and lightly astringent. The dark and light flavors of the wine seem to go well with comparatively dark foods.

Maki Junmai Ginjyo Unfiltered Nama-gunshu, Direct Kumi Nakadori Immediately after the bottle is opened from the ice compartment, it has a pleasant aroma of fresh pears and muscats. When you drink it, a slight gasiness and gentle acidity spreads, followed a little later by a rich, sweet, umami taste of rice. The acidity continues from the mid-palate, bringing together the balance of umami and sweetness, but the sweetness recedes in the latter half, leaving the palate with only a moderate bitterness. The almost complete absence of astringency makes the wine seem more sophisticated and smart than complex. The way the aftertaste fades from the freshness of the initial freshness makes it a sweet and tasty food wine.

Urasato Junmai Light Nigori. The bottle was opened with a pop along with a pleasant sound. The aroma of the top clear aroma is a pleasant smell of iso and grain, and when you drink it, you feel a pleasant slight carbonation, a gentle banana feeling and a moderate acidity, and a moderate sweetness, fresh sweetness and bitterness. When you mix in the corkage, the overall silky and rounded flavor begins to appear, and the gas tube remains intact, but the well-balanced flavor and the sweetness of the melon case and the bitterness of the fruit are again delicious. The fruit sweetness and bitterness that is felt gently from deep inside is delicious, and combined with the silky taste, it is also delicious. I may want to drink it with various sake cups.

Yamada-Nishiki Ni Nozomi. Pleasant aroma of pear and milky. The pleasant bubbly and fizzy sensation is unchanged, and the mouthfeel is smooth and soft. Again, the gentle taste of fresh muscat is evident, with a hint of fresh sweetness in the back. It tastes more like a sweet white wine sparkling with carbonation than a sake, but the lactic acidity is not strong, and the bitterness in the aftertaste is pleasant while the acidity and sweetness are a little firm. Overall, the sake is light, but the carbonation and overall depth of the wine seems to be improving year by year. If drinking sake gradually is enjoyable, then celebrating the taste with a festive celebration is also enjoyable!

Jikin Special Junmai Unfiltered Nama. Kake rice is from the December lot of Gohyakuman. The aroma upon opening is mild, and when you take a sip, the taste is round and juicy. The spread is fresh and smooth, with well-balanced umami and sweetness, followed by a tangy and pleasant acidity. The acidity extends moderately through the mid-palate, and while the umami and sweetness are felt, the bitterness is also felt in the latter half, and the wine finishes smoothly. As the temperature rises, the unfiltered flavor is also delicious.

Iraka "Kuro-Kuro Birth Sake" filtered raw sake It has a pleasant ginjo aroma with an image of fresh pears. The soft and smooth texture clings to the tongue, with a hint of gas, a beautiful acidity, and a light bitterness. After the acidity is felt, the sweetness and umami that gradually come from below raise the overall three-dimensionality of the wine, giving it a sense of umami that is not a gorgeous flavor, but rather a calm and relaxed taste that goes well with food. In a Sake Research Institute glass, the acidity and umami are extended, in a sake bowl, the umami is extended, and in a sake cup, the balance can be seen. Although my tastes vary, I am looking forward to another sake from Mr. Tanaka.

Echizenmisaki Daiginjyo Gin-no-💧 Triple Crown domestic entry. 2023 National New Sake Competition. Kanazawa Regional Taxation Bureau Sake Competition. Nanbu Touji Self-brewed sake. Winner of the domestic triple crown! The nose has a gorgeous but well-balanced and soft ginjo aroma.

The acidity extends from the mid-palate, and at the same time the sweetness extends and the aftertaste is pleasant. In a word, it was a beautiful and well-balanced sake with a lot of flavor. We are grateful that we were able to drink it!
