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.

Hanagaki Junmai Nigori. It has a pleasant rice aroma with a hint of ori. The amount of sake was too small this time, so I decided against heating it up, but I'm sure it's delicious. 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.

Mild but fruity and grain aroma. It has a slightly soft thickness with a beautiful umami and tangy acidity, and a light bitterness that gives it a strong structure. The sweetness is moderate and mellow, and the lingering taste is good, with a hint of bitterness, although the sharpness is good. It is indeed delicious!

Bishu Kotobuki junmai sake, unfiltered and unpasteurized. It has a strong iso-type aroma. The upper part is smooth and smooth on the tongue, with a thick umami and weighty flavor, and a moderate acidity and sweetness coming from the back. I have a feeling it will go well with Nagoya rice this season as well. When the lees are mixed, a silky flavor is added and it becomes both powerful and gentle. It is thick yet smooth, with a tangy acidity and a moderate sweetness, but you can also feel the alcohol at 17 degrees Celsius. This sake, which changes and brushes up every year, is a sake that I personally want people to know about, but don't want them to know about it. Thank you very much again for this season!

Hakuryu Dragon Water Silky light nigori limited edition. Mild milky pleasant grain ginjo aroma. The top clearness has a slippery texture and a clean, fresh mouthfeel. When mixed with ori, the strength increases. The texture on the tongue becomes thicker and the umami spreads. The moderate acidity, beautiful umami, and sweetness are pleasant, and the acidity continues from the mid-palate and tightens up in the latter half. This year is another good one.

HANAOYAKU Junmai Daiginjo Unfiltered Nama-shu. Gorgeous pineapple aroma. Rounded on the tongue but spreads smoothly. The first attack is umami, followed immediately by a tangy acidity and a slightly sharp sweetness. The acidity continues to grow in the mid-palate, followed by the bitterness characteristic of Huayouyasaka. The acidity and bitterness that lingers on the tongue in the midst of the delicious sweetness of Kahanayosu are well balanced and leave a lingering aftertaste. Overall, the taste is beautiful and fresh.

Jikin Junmai Ginjo Senbon Nishiki Hi-ire It has a gentle, thick and gorgeous aroma with a hint of cappiness when opened from ice temperature. In the mouth, it has a round and smooth texture with a gentle and cute acidity and a slight bitterness, which is balanced by the umami sweetness. This year too, it has a pleasant medium-bodied feel. The medium body is also beautiful and the sweet and sour acidity that extends to the acidity and umami is also clear. After all, Senbon-Nishiki is a deliciously cute wine! And as for the temperature range, this year too, I really like this one in the sun from the flowers. Thank you again this year!

Bishu Jukeno-o Junmai-shu Unfiltered Nama-shu. The slightly light nigorigo finish of this year's product is first. The top clearness is soft, mildly iso-ish and pleasant. The gassiness was weak last time as well, but this time, I don't know if it was because the sake was kept in ice-cold storage or if it was not freshly pressed, but it seemed less gassy than last time. The tangy sourness is still there, and the sweetness and umami are followed by a hint of banana and melon in the aroma. When the oli is mixed, the first touch of silky softness is added and the acidic flavor is placed. The acidity is extended and felt well while the complexity of the flavor and sweetness is felt. However, the fade-out feeling is quick and clean while also feeling bitter. The long bitter aftertaste is also pleasant. I am looking forward to drinking the freshly squeezed heated sake as it was also delicious.

Niida Shizen Shu Shu Nigori. The cloudy white color is still great. The Kamichumi has a fermentation aroma with a firm graininess. In the Hontobikai Inoguchi, the Kamichumi has a slightly yellowish cloudy color, and although it has a pouty mouthfeel, it is smooth, soft, and thick, with acidity and a complex, grain-derived flavor and sweetness. When you mix in the thick oli, the taste is quite thick and heavy on the palate, but the sweetness is moderate, and the tangy sourness that comes after the gentle umami and moderate sweetness of the rice is also good. A light bitterness comes in the aftertaste, and the lingering astringency resets what you eat. I love the taste, which would go well with croquettes with cheese. I like to warm it up by heating it up! The acidity becomes more spiky at human skin, while the acid spine softens a bit when it is heated up to the top of the bottle, and the alu feeling comes out slightly when it is heated up to the top of the bottle, but it becomes more smooth and smooth. If you go to the top of the bottle, it will be more smooth, but you will get too much alu feeling. And it is also great when heated! Personally, I prefer cold sake, cold sake, and hot sake! It is still delicious!
