ICHI-GO-CAN by Morimasu.
Slightly spicy aroma. It is a bit like grapefruit in terms of fruit. It has a slightly tangy flavor and is delicious with a strong umami and sweetness.
ICHI-GO-CAN from Izumibashi, purchased at a launch event at Shinjuku Southern Terrace.
Fruity aroma with a hint of sweetness. It gives the impression of a beautiful junmai ginjo with a delicious taste.
My wife gave me this chocolate with sake for Valentine's Day.
It also comes with a hinoki square.
The smell of the hinoki is amazing.
I can recognize that each brand has a slightly different taste, but the sugar used to coat the liquid takes all the flavor away. Even the taste of the chocolate is diluted. The concept is good, so I wish they had paid more attention to the taste.
Kaisen's Tokyo Wajo.
Is this the first Kaisen that is not alsobeared?
The aroma is unique, like mushrooms.
The taste is...umami!
Porcini!
Matsutake mushrooms!
Both of these flavors are familiar from baby cheese and soup, but this sake has the aroma and flavor of mushrooms. This is my first time! Amazing!
Matsu Midori no Shiboritate Nama-nama-shu.
Alcoholic aroma. Slightly fruity? In the mouth, a refreshing aroma of rice spreads. The mouthfeel is light, but the rough astringency typical of Shiboritate Nama-no-Hara Sake is impressive. The astringent taste is accompanied by a firm umami flavor and a hint of sweetness, making it very tasty.
Nanbetsuatsurae is always impressive to drink. It has a subtle pineapple-like scent. The taste is pineapple sweet and acidic with a fizzy, fizzy, and fizzy sensation. This is delicious. Every time I drink it, I am impressed to the point where I think, "Is this the first time I've seen this? I was so impressed that I thought, "Is this the first time I've tasted this? Is it because it's a fresh sake or because it's from the south?
Hmmm? Isn't this a phrase from a commercial?
Matsuchiyo. Thank you for your comment. That's it, that's it. Thank you very much.
Impressive commercials come back to me at a moment's notice, and I can only remember them halfway, which makes me keenly aware of the aging of my brain.
Takashi's cherry blossom label. The hanami cat on the back of the label is cute.
White wine or white grape...a refreshing aroma of mixed acidity and sweetness. The aroma spreads softly in the mouth. The strength that is typical of nama-shu and the elegant astringency taste like a dry white wine. The sake-like flavor of the finish is delightful.
Tenmei no Nakadori No. 4.
The upper aroma is a modest vanilla citrus. The overt aroma is a sweet vanilla.
It is refreshing on the palate and has a refreshingly acidic and refined umami flavor. Personally, I thought that the peak of the Nakadori series was No. 4, but in recent years, I feel that it tends to be ahead of the others or has a relatively strong umami flavor from No. 0, and conversely, I have the impression that No. 4 and No. 5 are slowing down. The "4" is very tasty this season, but I think the evaluation will change depending on the performance of the "5".
If you watch it as a stand-alone, it is definitely delicious. Considering it as a series, the closing is important! If the Corporal is good, we will win the entire series.
Taman's pride: Risshun Morning Sake Brewing. I took a paid day off to enjoy this sake brewed on February 3, the first day of spring.
The aroma is fresh, like melon with a hint of sourness. The sweetness of the aroma becomes stronger as if the melon has ripened.
Tart and nutty on the tongue, with a melon-like sweetness and a strong astringency intertwined with the palate. Delicious and gratifying. This was also the first time I learned that the back of the label says Daikichi. I really appreciate the maker and seller.
Sawanoi's Okutama Spring Water Dry Sake. A cosy regular sake. The contents of the heated bottle are apparently the same. I bought a warming bottle as a substitute for a sake warmer.
The aroma is that of a regular sake, or rather, a sake with a heavy alcohol content!
The aroma is that of regular sake, or rather, the same sake that is made with the same alcoholic beverages.
The most important thing is to create a state where your tongue is waiting for a dry sake.
The happiness of the repetition continues.
Sawanoi's new Shibori. Ginjo-no-nama-sake.
The aroma is like green apple and pineapple. Despite the sweet aroma, it has a pleasant impression of a crisp, dry attack with a shwashy, fizzy feeling. The subtle sweetness is also pleasant. Sawanoi really has a brilliant endorsement expression. It is a perfect expression.
Taman Jugen's dry ginjo. I bought it at a local liquor store I visited for the first time. I was also able to apply to purchase a bottle of Taman Jushin's Risshun Asa Shibori and was in a good mood.
The aroma is very subdued. It has a sweet, melon-like aroma. The mouthfeel is a bit mild, with a hint of sweetness and umami, but the overwhelmingly dry and astringent taste fills the palate, as befits the name "dry ginjo. I really love it. It is cheap, tasty, and is a sake for everyday use.
Kashiwa Dew was something I saw on my trip to Niigata last fall. I noticed that this and Tatomo are carried at liquor stores in Tokyo, and when I see them, they come up on my list of potential purchases.
Nice aroma of citrus pineapple. It has a thick, rich mouthfeel, with plenty of sweetness entwining with the tongue. When swallowed, the astringency and spiciness slowly spread and linger. It has a strong taste.
Please give me an oringo from Zanso Hourai. Label renewal. Hmmm, why this design? I liked it as it was before.
The aroma is modest. The overt aroma has a slightly apple-like flavor. The strong, refreshing acidity spreads throughout the mouth and ends with a slightly astringent finish. The bubbles are strong and refreshing.
A zodiac label for the 200th anniversary of Song Bi Yu's founding. Refreshing aroma like white wine mixed with sweet aroma like Wasanbon. In the mouth, there is a bitter and refreshing aroma like wild vegetables. The light texture is pleasantly light, with an acidity like an austere white wine and a hint of sweetness.
But...this label...this label...this label...this label...this label...this label.
This label...this kind of label...you know...I don't want it.
It's too harsh...this label.
It's a shame...because it's delicious.
Sawanoi's Junmai-shu brewed in wooden vats. Nearly colorless and transparent. It has a slight woody aroma. In the mouth, the aroma of wooden vats and the aroma of mushrooms and nuts peculiar to sake yeast spreads like a Western-style sake. It has a smooth and thick texture, and a firm acidity spreads in the mouth accompanied by sweetness and bitterness. A bottle with a complex and fascinating aroma and flavor that combines the best of both the yeast and the wooden vat.
Takaoyama by Tokyo Nakamura Shuzo, famous for Chiyotsuru. This is a freshly squeezed junmai sake. Slightly colored. The aroma is clear and has a subtle, muscat-like heady aroma. The muscat flavor becomes stronger on the palate. Light on the palate with a good balance of sweet and acidic tones, it seems easy to drink at first glance, but the finish is powerful with a fiery alcohol taste and astringency.
Junmai Nama-zake from Kimasa. It has an upfront aroma of alcohol and melon. The hint of alcohol softens somewhat. It has a light mouthfeel with a hint of cucumber sweetness, but the bitterness and astringency spread strongly. It is a relatively fruity sake among the Kimasa brands.
This is a Kinkyoku purchased at Takagi Shoten in Yawatazan. It has a cemedine type of suetaka, and the hint of aroma is a bit angular. The palate is dry and austere junmai sake, with a stimulating twang and no richness. It has a good sharpness. It is the best match for sukiyaki.
prototype 1 from Tokyo Hachioji Sake Brewery, a new sake brewery in Tokyo. It has a light yellowish color. It has a citrusy heady aroma. The aroma is like muscat on the palate. It comes in like water, with an elegant and moderate acidity that is impressive and sharp. The taste is not fruity, and the gap between the aroma and the taste may divide tastes.
