Y.Tokushige
Gentle fruity standing aroma. Modern sweetness, acidity, and translucent sake quality, but with a crisp, dry finish! I thought it would be the same as the "Jyobari Legacy" sake I bought with it, but it turned out to be a winner with a flavor and sweetness more to my liking! Sake rice: Aomori Prefecture's Hanabukiyuki Rice polishing ratio: 60 Alcohol content: 16%. Sake degree → +0.4 Acidity → 1.5

Jyobari, which is said to have been revived at a new sake brewery! It has a strong acidity with umami, a hint of fruity and sweetness. The strong acidity makes it easy to drink. When I drank a can of Joppari before, I think it was a little darker and more umami, but I am not sure about my taste memory. Rice polishing ratio→60 Alcohol content→15%.

An acquaintance of mine shared a bottle of Hakusen, a liquor store original in Omiya. It has a green apple type flavor from the tingling and shuwa fizziness, and an astringent taste of ori. It has more citrus and sweetness than the Nouveau Oorigarami that I drink every year. Sake rice: Hanabukiyuki from Aomori, Mashigura Rice polishing ratio: 55%, 60 Alcohol content: 16%.

It has a mellow caramel-like sweetness and umami flavor. Although it is a noble sake, it is not too sweet, and the acidity gives it a sharpness that makes it very good. Sake rice: Ichihodzumi (60% used), Ginsan (40% used) Rice polishing ratio→Ichihozumi 55%, Ginsan 65 Alcohol content→14%.

A souvenir from Hokkaido. It is said to be the first local sake made on a remote island in Hokkaido, using rice and water from Okushiri Island. It has a light and refreshing taste with a slight minerality. Not bad as a food sake. When cold, the minerality is stronger, and when heated, the acidity is stronger. It is most balanced and easy to drink at room temperature. Sake rice→Hokkaido rice Rice polishing ratio→60 Alcohol content→15

Good balance of sharp flavor, bitterness, acidity, and sweetness! Muscat flavor. It is good on its own, but the bitterness and acidity are also good, so it is not bad as a food sake. Sake rice→100% So no Mai produced in Chiba Prefecture Rice polishing ratio→60 Alcohol content→15%.

Gorgeous aroma, gentle and soft rice sweetness. Similar to the taste of Eiko-Fuji. I haven't had the standard Daisetsukei, so I don't know how it is positioned in this brewery, but I am sure it is good. Sake rice→Grown in Nagano Prefecture Polishing ratio→59%. Alcohol content→15%.

Earthy and astringent flavor. It has the tangy freshness of new sake with a touch of alcohol and acidity. It has a dry taste, but the umami of the rice supports it well. I don't really like dry sake, but the robust umami makes me want to drink it one after another. I read that the acidity and umami become better after a couple of days after opening the bottle, so I will look forward to the next 3 days. Sake rice -> 100% Yamadanishiki Rice polishing ratio→70 Alcohol content: 16%.

Fresh, dry and mineral. Classic but easy to drink. It is good as a mealtime sake, resetting the palate but retaining the umami. (Note: I served it with scallops and crab, and the sweetness of the seafood and the sweetness of the sake went well together! Sake rice→Gin no Yume 100%. Rice polishing ratio→55 Alcohol content: 17 degrees Celsius

Fresh and fruity yet naturally gentle sweetness and full-bodied flavor spread softly, with a hint of acidity that is beautifully delicious. Yum, too good!

A gift from a friend from Hyogo Prefecture. It is a ginjo-shu made from special A Yamada-Nishiki rice polished flat and aged at -3°C. (YK-40-50 stands for Yamada-Nishiki Y, Kumamoto yeast K, koji rice milling ratio 40, and kake rice milling ratio 50. (YK-40-50 means Y for Yamadanishiki, K for Kumamoto yeast, 40 for koji rice and 50 for kake rice.) The first sip gives the impression of an aged sake, and the aftertaste has a good sharpness with a sense of alcohol. The nose has a strong hint of aroma. It is a good, robust sake with a thick sweetness, umami, and light acidity. It was a perfect match with the shishamo. Sake rice: 100% Yamadanishiki produced in the special A district of Hyogo Prefecture Yeast → Kumamoto Ginjo yeast Rice polishing ratio → 40% for the sake mother and koji rice, 50% for the premium rice Alcohol content → 17 degrees Celsius

It has a nice sweetness and umami, with a bit of acidity asserting itself. There is a minerality in the back of the bottle. When heated, the sweetness is reduced and the umami comes out. It can be served cold or hot, but personally, I'd rather drink it cold! I drink it easily without getting tired of drinking it. It is delicious. Sake rice: 100% Yamadanishiki produced in Miki Bessho, Miki City, Hyogo Prefecture Rice polishing ratio: 60 Alcohol content→15 Sake degree→+3
