Preferred ★★★☆☆☆☆☆☆ I couldn't decide between Kizanko and Yokoyama at the store, so I went with Kizanko. The aroma is citrusy. I like the fresh aroma with a bitter taste like grapefruit peel. It has a refreshing aftertaste and a sweetness, followed by a moderate acidity. I paired it with Chinese food today.

Preferred ★★★☆☆☆☆☆☆ Sanuki Kuraudei appeared in a manga before and I was curious about it. I found it at a nearby liquor store. It tasted like calpis, really sweet and juice-like. I opened it with my friend who usually does not drink sake. It was delicious.

Preferred ★★☆☆☆☆☆☆ We went to pick up our first Risshun morning pressing. We enjoyed it along with a sake lees soup made with the sake lees we received with it, and sashimi and yellowtail teriyaki. The aroma is not so strong. The taste is not strong and light. Drinking it in a glass with a trumpet-shaped mouthpiece took away a little of the chirichiri-ness and made it seem milder. Since it is a good luck charm, I will enjoy it while joining hands with the sake god to wish for many encounters with delicious sake this year.

Preference ★★★★☆ My first Shinsei. This ecru is said to be the standard of Shinsei. I thought many people would like it because it was easy to drink like water and had a good balance of sweetness and sourness. The sweetness is followed by a pleasant sourness, and in the end, the sweetness softly envelops the sourness. The sourness is delicious, so it would be good to drink in summer.

Preference ★★★★☆ My first Jikin. My first Senbon-Nishiki. It is a sake rice produced in Hiroshima, and Jikin serves it every year. It was mellow and had just the right amount of sweetness for my liking. This was the second one for me and the first one for my husband.

Preference ★★★★☆ Thick, mellow, moist and sweet. The aroma was sweet and gorgeous, and I was absolutely convinced that this should be my favorite even before I drank it. It was my favorite of all the ones I drank today. I had heard it was very hard to find, so it was a miracle to find it here.

Preference ★★★★☆ This is a Daimine that I let sit for a bit after I purchased it. This one was also fresh and sweet, which I liked. It was a little crisp when drunk in a glass with a wide mouth opening, and a little soft when drunk in a narrower glass. This time, I paired it with oden at Touge no Chaya in Akita Prefecture. It went well with the spices we had with it. The following is a quote from the website Freshly pressed and unfiltered, this new sake is full of fruitiness and freshness. Enjoy the freshness of new sake made from local Yamada Nishiki produced in Yamaguchi Prefecture, a perfect start to the new season at Omine Sake Brewery. Spec Polishing ratio: 50%. Rice] 100% Yamadanishiki Ingredients】Rice(Domestic)・Rice malt (Domestic rice) Water】Benten spring water Alcohol content】14.5%. Capacity】720ml Yeast] Undisclosed Sake meter] Not disclosed. Acidity】Not disclosed Tasting Comment Fresh fruity aroma reminiscent of muscatel and melon. The fresh gasiness that pops out of the nose. The sweet and sour taste is layered with minerality and a three-dimensional flavor. Pairing Steamed eggplant with oil, Carpaccio of white fish such as sea bream and sea bass Prosciutto melon

Preferred ★★★☆☆☆☆☆☆ I went to stock up for the first time in the new year. As the name "Yukino Yamato" suggests, the taste was clear and beautiful without being too sweet, and the aftertaste was as smooth as melting snow. Compared to the sweet sake we have been drinking recently, it was a little less sweet and a little more dry. The fresh umami flavor spread in the mouth, and a hint of sourness could be felt later. It would go well with oden with a lot of broth and less oily sashimi. The brewer seems to be particular about rice production.

Preferred ★★★☆☆☆☆☆☆ The first Hakusen! This is the "Mixseed" series, where young brewers come up with concepts and take on challenges. I had bought it because I thought the name "Utage" and the cute label would be perfect for a banquet sake for everyone. It is not as sweet as I expected and goes well with strong flavored meals. I can feel lactic acidity.

Preference ★★★★☆ I bought this Omine around September and saved it until winter. Like the earlier Namazume Hiyoroshi Omachi, I really liked its mild, juicy sweetness. This one is sold earlier in the season, so it is perfect for late summer to early fall when the weather is still hot, with a light, watery mouthfeel and light sweetness. It is a must for Omachi drinkers. The following is a quote from the website. A freshly pressed, unpasteurized sake made from Omachi produced in Okayama Prefecture. The fruitiness is reminiscent of muskmelon and yellow peach, with a hint of silky orizumi. Specs Rice polishing ratio: 50%. Rice] Omachi 100% [Ingredients Ingredients] Rice (domestic), rice malt (domestic) Water】Benten spring water Alcohol content】13.0%. Capacity】720ml Yeast] Undisclosed Sake meter] Not disclosed. Acidity】Not disclosed Tasting Comment The noble fruity aroma is reminiscent of muskmelon, and the soft sweetness of ripe yellow peaches spreads with a sense of gas that pops.

Preferred ★★★☆☆☆☆☆☆ This is YAMINARI SHUSUI, a very limited edition sake from Eiko-Fuji that is only shipped one day a year. The sake rice used, "Dewanosato," is said to have a good flavor even without very high refining, but YAMINARI SHUSUI has a clearer, less cloying flavor by polishing this Dewanosato to 38%, which tends to crack if highly refined. It was a delicious sake that lived up to its tagline, "Even with your eyes closed, even in the dark, the delicious flavor will fill your mouth with echoes of flavor.

Preference ★★★★☆ My first Yamahai, it was delicious. It has a refreshing aroma like muscat. It has a refreshing aroma like muscat, with a hint of hinoki cypress in the back. The aroma is similar to that of Kaze no Mori ALPHA1. The dry but rounded acidity is addictive. I tried it heated, but I personally liked the acidity, so I prefer it cold. By the way, if you want to warm it up, lukewarm is the way to go. I've had a lot of sweet sake recently, so it was nice to have a completely different taste. It is rich and dry.

Preferred ★★★☆☆☆☆☆☆ Thick texture. Mixture of acidity as well as sweetness. Although the sake is -5 on the sake meter, it feels sweeter than that, perhaps because it stays on the tongue longer due to the thickening? Other sakes that I have liked so far have the image of umami spreading out in the mouth horizontally and vertically in a three-dimensional manner, but this one has the image of a dripping drop of umami that goes down slowly and gently in spots. Perhaps it was the fact that it was paired with gratin and hamburger steak, but I felt that the true flavor could be enjoyed more if it was served by itself rather than as a food wine. I would give it a 3, which is close to a 4 for my taste. My husband seemed to like it a lot and wanted to repeat it.

Preference ★★★★☆ Jundo Isshu, very tasty, so repeat. The rice this time was Hakutsuru Nishiki. It was sweet and delicious, and I really liked it too. The rice flavor and sweetness spread softly throughout the mouth, leaving a lingering aftertaste before disappearing. Since it was cold, we enjoyed it with nabe (hot pot).

Preference★☆☆☆☆ Ni-Rabbit's limited edition sake "Ni-Robo🐺". This limited edition sake, not made by Ni-Rabbit, is made every year under the concept of "a wolf in a rabbit's skin making sake instead of a rabbit." The theme for 2024 is low-polished sake. This is the first time I have had a sake with 80% polishing. Compared to junmai ginjo and daiginjo, it is a little rough, but it is surprisingly refreshing without any unpleasant tastes. The theme is different every year, so I look forward to enjoying it in the fall.

Preferences: ★★★★★ I am still convinced that I like Omachi. I really like its smooth, mild and gentle sweetness. It has a strong umami flavor, but it also has a nice, natural cut. There is no bitterness and almost no sourness. It is exactly what I like, and I felt that it is very well-balanced with no elements that interfere with my taste. The following is a quote from their website. Luscious aroma reminiscent of yellow peach and lychee. The texture is thick, with layers of concentrated sweetness and flavor reminiscent of Pione grapes. Pairing Roasted duck Salt Grilled Autumn Swordfish Blue cheese
