Happy New Year! The year 2026 has begun. The first bottle of sake is Gagakuyo's Active Nigori 😆. I was too drunk to post it, but I drank a light nigori Yukishita a while ago and enjoyed it so much that I was looking forward to this one too ✨. As soon as I start twisting the cap, it's so full of energy that it almost blows up solid. The mouthfeel is very smooth, with a muscat-like aroma and just the right amount of sweetness. It has a muscat-like aroma, a moderate sweetness, and a muddy flavor, but it also has a citrus-like sourness to the sweetness that makes it a refreshing drink. The sweetness is balanced by a citrusy acidity that makes for a refreshing drink 😳. It is delicious!

The last sake of 2025 is Jikin...! I'm having people who don't know about Jikin drink it, and even if they don't know about it, they all roar that this is delicious, which is as expected of Jikin...! Thank you for your hard work this year. Have a happy New Year!

I finally got my hands on it on the occasion of New Year's Day...! It's Kougetsu, a high-end brand from Daishinshu, which I've been longing for...! Since I was going to have such a good sake, I had 5 kinds of Daishinshu, including the tank-filled one that I forgot to take a picture of✨. Since I was back home, I compared them with my friends and family, and I have to say that Daishinshu is delicious 😳! Of course the Kagetsu was beautiful, elegant, slow and delicious, but they were all very popular 😆. Personally, I was happy to see that the hand-full was the most popular lol! I would love to try Kokin and Shinju someday, but I wonder when that will be 😅.

I have finished my work for the year and am on my way to my parents' house in Shima Onsen, Gunma for one night and two days from today 😆! It seems to have snowed yesterday, and the lightly snow-covered mountains and rivers and the townscape are very beautiful. There is a hot spring town where you can enjoy a peaceful and relaxing stroll, the hot springs are pleasant, you can enjoy drinking the hot spring water, and the dinner at the inn is delicious... Shima Onsen is a nice place 😳✨. Now for the sake we will be sharing the night at the inn. LOL! I heard that the liquor store in Shima Onsen is a special distributor of Makino Sake Brewery, so there is one more reason to come to Shima Onsen 😆 lol As for the sake, the aroma is clear and banana-like sweetness can be felt. The aroma is clear and I can feel a banana-like sweetness. The mouthfeel is beautifully soft, and since there is no stickiness, it seems to slowly seep into your mouth 😳✨. It is a sensation 😳✨. The taste is also like 🍌 with a full-bodied sweetness and just the right amount of acidity, with a moderate bitterness to tighten up the aftertaste! I decided on the 300ml because I plan to drink it all from tomorrow, but I should have used a shogo-jar. LOL!

It has a refreshingly sweet good aroma with a banana and pear feel! The mouthfeel is soft and beautifully clear, and the taste has a freshness that oozes from the lightness, and a sweet acidity and flavor with a bit of grape and tropical fruitiness that is also good 😆✨. The line is fine and sharp, but it is well flavored. Well delicious 😳

This is the first time I bought Kawanakajima Genmai😳. Polishing ratio 49%. It is not a daiginjo but a dare ginjo. The aroma is sweet and gentle, and the mouthfeel is soft and smooth. The taste is smooth and sweet, but not harsh and beautiful, and the acidity is moderate and gentle, giving the sake a very warm feeling ✨. It has a beautiful, round, elegant sweetness, but it is also supported by a fruity aroma that leaves a fresh impression, which is also good! I drank it slowly for the first time and was convinced that it will be very popular 😆 lol. It's delicious!

The grapes are very firm and pear-like. It has a nice aroma with a hint of pear!

I can feel it 😳✨ There is also a slight fizziness, and it is very fresh. It also has the beautiful flavor of Daishinshu and a good aftertaste 😆! I'm looking forward to this year's Daishinshu ✨.

It has a nice, but unobtrusive, freshness that goes right through the nose, with a slight banana feel?

The taste is light at first, but soon after, a delicious sweetness and a moderate acidity gradually come through. The taste is light at first, with a delicious sweetness and moderate acidity coming in gradually afterwards. The graininess is much less than I imagined, and it is nice to enjoy the clean and clear delicious sweetness of the rice 😆! It's not flashy, but it's beautiful and delicious. It is the kind of sake that makes you want to say, "This is the kind of sake that is good! LOL!

It's that time of year again 😆! Senkou's snowman. He's so healthy that he's about to blow up again this year 😳✨. When you open the bottle, you will find pear, banana and peach? It has a fresh but mellow aroma, and the mouthfeel is very smooth with a fine texture! The taste is fresh and fruity sweetness with a touch of calpis, followed by a good bitterness and sourness, and then it finishes crisp and clean with a light lingering sweetness. It's like that 😳 lol A little less acidity than last year? The sweetness is a little bit more than last year...? I don't know, but it's delicious this year too! I'm looking forward to the next shipment ✨ lol

Sari...sari...shari...shari.... It says so on the back label😳. It also said to pair it with sushi, as the name suggests, so I decided to open it with sushi today ✨ The aroma is quite subdued, with a gentle, soft, young 🍈 feel, and a nice aroma of rice? I feel like I can smell it! The mouthfeel is soft and clear, with a beautiful citrusy acidity and a nice umami that gently spreads from the back 😆. It is delicious by itself, but I think it tastes even better with sushi...! The beautiful acidity refreshes the raw taste as if it were spiked with sudachi, and the fish itself does not interfere with the taste but only clarifies the umami? Something like that? It's like that 😆 lol It's so good!

Here's the sake I received today from the liquor store I go to the most 😆✨. It was my first time to participate in a hanpukai, and since it is recommended by a professional, all the sakes are delicious, and it's nice to meet new sakes! This sake has a refreshing apple-like? It has a refreshing apple-like aroma, and the mouthfeel is soft and clear with just the right amount of minerality. In the mouth, there is a refreshing acidity, followed by a soft umami taste coming from the back 😳. The rest of the wine goes down smoothly and cleanly, so it seems like you'll be drinking one cup after another ✨. I've tried it cold and heated, but personally I think I like it at room temperature after it comes back to temperature so I can enjoy the umami more 😳. The Dodgers won the championship and the sake is good 😆! LOL!

I always end up buying this sake when I visit a certain sake mecca ✨. Kougetsu is a very expensive sake that I can't afford, as it is considered a very expensive sake on the official Daishinshu website, but this one is only about 2,000 yen...! I would love to try the super-premium sake Kagetsu someday, but this Kagetsu is also delicious ✨. It's like a honey-filled apple with a hint of creaminess? It has a really beautiful rice aroma that swells up softly and has a smooth, pleasant mouthfeel while remaining clear 😳. The taste is fruity and sweet with a hint of bitterness, but this bitterness gradually turns into a delicious sweetness. It is also nice! It's delicious! I'd like to try the high fragrant moon someday 😆✨.

I've been lucky enough to have had the opportunity to drink a variety of Kinjaku this year, and while they've all been delicious, I think I personally particularly like this Akigari 😳✨. It has a deep, fresh, sweet aroma like ripe, honeyed apples, a smooth, yet slightly sweet mouthfeel, and the delicious sweetness of the rice that expands beautifully, but with a crisp finish that doesn't leave a bad taste 😆 lol This is a sake that you will want to enjoy slowly and carefully on a long autumn night! Oh, it's delicious. It's so good!

I can't believe that it is already time for new sake. I feel like the year is going by faster and faster as I get older. It has already been a year since Sentori was renewed. I can't believe it. LOL! As for today's sake, I bought a bottle of Modern's Zero ✨, which I didn't drink last year come to think of it. When I open it, it's banana, pear and a little peachy? It has a nice firm fruity aroma. The mouthfeel is light and smooth, with a mild pizzazz 😳. The taste has a good lactic flavor and richness with a fruity sweetness and freshness, with a good 🍋 and a nice, spodgy freshness! Delicious!

The aroma is mild, with the mildness of rice and a hint of young pear? I think it has a fresh fruitiness! The mouthfeel is light and shwarming 😳. The beginning of the taste has a full-bodied flavor, a fresh sweetness, and a moderate bitterness, but the second half has a pineapple or citrus flavor. Citrus? The second half of the taste has a sourness like pineapple or citrus, which remains on the tongue for a good amount of time and finishes off with a refreshing finish. It also has an elegant gorilla flavor! LOL! It's delicious.

I am here in Izu Shimoda where a typhoon is approaching from today of all days! 😆 LOL! It's a nice place with a calm port town atmosphere, many good restaurants for both food and sweets, and a sense of history ✨. Maybe it's just that there are no people here because of the typhoon. Today I will be sharing a bottle of Shimoda Reimei sake that I bought at a local liquor store 😳. It was started by sake lovers in Shimoda and is made from Shimoda rice. From the nose, it has a nice aroma, a bit like a blue banana, and the mouthfeel is quite soft ✨. It has a slight acidity, a full flavor, and a fruity, almost 🍇 feel to it. I feel like it has some 🍇sense of fruit! And yet it has a sharp and clean finish, so it's the kind of sake that makes you want to eat and drink more ✨. Delicious! Local sake is still fun 😳.
