Daiginjo Shizukusyu made with Yamadanishiki produced in Yoshikawa The aroma is very mild for a daiginjo. The aroma is very clean with only a slight hint of ginjo aroma. It might be more pleasant at higher temperatures. The taste is very clean and clear, as is typical of Shizuku-shu. The sweetness of the rice and alcohol are blended together for a very smooth taste. There is almost no acidity, but it has a clean and crisp aftertaste, probably due to the fact that it is alkyu-soaked. Simply delicious! The aroma and taste are relatively modest and lack impact at first glance, but overall the balance is exquisite without any unpleasantness, and it is a very well-made daiginjo.

Nabeshima made with Yamadanishiki produced in Yoshikawa An entry-level sake in the Daiginjo range of Nabeshima The aroma is relatively mild. Fruity and slightly sweet aroma like melon Still a little carbonation in the mouth Surprisingly, the acidity is quite strong. The overall taste is a little dry, with a mild sweet melon or melon-like flavor combined with sourness, and a fairly refreshing aftertaste. To be honest, I couldn't really taste much of its characteristics, but it is a normal, easy-drinking, delicious sake with no noticeable flaws.

This is KIYOMIZU from the same hanpukai. The difference is that Maikaze from Gunma Prefecture is used instead of Gohyakumangoku. The aroma is the same as SAKAEMASU, but milder. The taste is surprisingly less cloying than SAKAEMASU. There are not many rice varieties that have a cleaner sake quality than Gohyakumangoku. The sweetness is also relatively strong and full-bodied.

SAKAEMASU, the main brand of Shimizuya Brewery, which uses wine bottles and corks to promote value enhancement through aging and vintage sake. Usually stored fresh, but the hanpukai is a special draft version! The aroma is slightly mild and banana-like. Slightly acidic, typical of junmai sake. The taste is quite complex. In addition to the banana, there is a sweet umami taste of rice, and a complex taste of grain and bran, reminiscent of the recent Nirvana Turtle, which is a low-polished sake. I have only had aged sake, but my impression was that it was more mellow. Well, it's not that it's bad, but it's not for everyone... I don't think it's for my taste.

New this year, 40% polished rice of Gohyakumangoku Gorgeous aroma Sourness like apple and a little pineapple Almost no sweetness, but the characteristics of Gohyakumangoku combined with the high polished rice make it the cleanest and most refreshing Hana-yoso. The taste is surprisingly quite sweet. No, it really is sweeter than the Omachi of two or three years ago! It has a dense sweet flavor like an apple with honey, and the taste is very drinkable, just like Huahiangyoku! Delicious! The characteristics of Gohyakumangoku are also utilized, and the taste is very clear with no cloying taste at all. The aftertaste is rather refreshing with a pineapple-like acidity. I never thought that Gohyakumangoku, which was at the bottom of my ranking of Hahyokuso, had become so delicious.

Kangiku no 39 has already become a year-end staple. Today, I'll have the regular draft version first. The aroma is apple-like, typical of Kangiku. Compared to last year, the pineapple-like acidity is less pronounced. The taste is very clean and sweet. It has a full flavor, but it also maintains a sense of transparency, which is really great! I am not sure if it is pineapple or not, but the tropical and fruity acidity finishes the taste refreshingly. Not only delicious, but also very beautiful! Personally, I might actually like last year's saké, but the quality of this year's saké is better than last year's, and you can tell that it is improving every year! A great sake worthy of Kangiku's signature!

Mikumari series is brewed with Nikko's God's water. I can't help but think that the low list price is the best feature of this product. Gorgeous aroma like ripe apples. Not too sweet for a Houou Mita. It is said to be characterized by a slight effervescence, but personally, my first Hououmida was a fresh Black Phoenix, so I think it has a carbonation that is typical of Hououmida. The taste has a mild sweet flavor and a comparatively strong acidity, and it's very refreshing and light. It's not so dry, but it's very easy to drink among Hououmida, and you can't stop drinking! I'm not sure if it's new or not, but I think it's a great sake!

Asahi Koh's sake to be entered in a sake competition A brand with great technique, but I have the impression that it is not widely distributed outside the prefecture. The aroma is capsule-like and very floral. Even the sake bowl is a little too gorgeous. Fruity aroma with hints of green apple, Fuji, and pineapple. In addition to the fruity flavor, it has a dense yet clear sweet and delicious taste. The slightly higher alcohol content makes it very drinkable, and you can feel the smoothness of the daiginjo-like mouthfeel. I've been drinking a lot of low alcohol sake lately, so this one has more of an impact. You may not like the taste, but it's amazing that I couldn't find any negative points at all! It's the kind of sake that has won a lot of awards!

The last bottle of the day was a UA Snowman. It was supposed to be skipped this year, but they made a big change in the assemblage and decided to base it on Grand Natural, so I rushed to buy it! The carbonation was pretty strong, took about a minute to open the bottle. The aroma is relatively mild, but there is a milky sweetness and slight lactic acidity that seems to be typical of Senkou's nigori sake lately! The mouthfeel is strongly carbonated. After the carbonation, it becomes silky and mellow. The taste is clear for a nigori sake with moderate sweetness. The acidity is only carbonation and a thin lactic acidity, but the balance with the sweetness is just right, refreshing and easy to drink. Delicious! Compared to the previous UA Snowball, the acidity has been reduced and the milky sweetness that is characteristic of snowballs is more apparent. It's definitely a very tasty sake, but I wonder if the next one will be different since the Grand Natural is sort of a limited edition this year.

The third bottle is Retro with a retro-style label. Same ratio of rice as the classic, but with Omachi instead of Kame-no-o But not yeast-free. The aroma is quite bananas. And a little acidity typical of Omachi. The taste is quite dry at first. Then the sweet and umami taste develops and it becomes very rich. Finally, the acidity finishes the taste. It's very crisp and tasty! I don't know if it is typical of Sentori or not, but I think it shows the characteristics of Omachi well. It is the most satisfying and tasty sake among the three bottles of Edobori.

Next is a classic. The rice used is Yamadanishiki and Kame-no-o, with Yamadanishiki as the malted rice and Kame-no-o as the finished rice, and fermented with natural yeast with no yeast additives. The bubbles when pouring are clearly more abundant than in the Modern. The aroma is quite mild. There is only a slight banana-type ginjo aroma. In the mouth, there is definitely quite a bit of carbonation. Other than the carbonation, there is not much acidity, and the flavor is mild with a slight banana taste. Simple taste, but easy to drink and delicious! Especially compared to Modern, it is not sweet and has carbonation, so it is much easier to drink. Normally I prefer the sweeter one, but this time I have to say they each have their own strengths A very clean and tasty sake that doesn't feel like a natural sake!

Finally, it's time to taste SENKOU Etoebari! I've had a lot of limited editions, but it's been a while since I've tasted a regular Sengoku. The aroma is quite strong with lactic acidity and citrus acidity, with a touch of sweetness, giving it a sweet and sour image. The previous Sentori Modern was also sweet and sour, but more fruity. Since it is unfiltered raw sake, there is a slight carbonation, but not so much that it affects the taste. The taste is definitely sweet and sour, but surprisingly not too sweet and sour. The acidity is mainly a mellow sweetness that enhances the thickness of the flavor, and the taste is clear and transparent for a lactic acid type sake. It is easy to drink and tastes good. This is a good sake that deserves to be SENKYO's signature sake from now on.

New this year Finally, 40% Ihyakumangoku is available. I know it doesn't sound the most like a hana-yosu, but you have to try it once. The aroma is very fresh and gorgeous. It has a pineapple-like flavor, but it also smells a little bitter. And for an Ihyakumangoku, it's quite rich and sweet. I thought 40% would be more beautiful, but I guess it's because it's a bit of an ogorigami. The taste also defies expectations and is quite beautifully sweet and umami. The acidity is not so strong, but it tastes sweet and sour. What is especially surprising is that there is no bitterness at all. The rich flavor of Hanahyokan and the refreshing flavor of Gohyakumangoku are well balanced, and it's just plain delicious! Perhaps the shift to more sweetness from last year may have had some influence. I compared it with last year's Omachi 48, and to my surprise, this Ihyakumangoku seems to be sweeter! Personally, I like the sweeter Hana-yosu, so I think it's a welcome trend. I was planning to skip it this year, but if Gohyakumangoku is this good, I might have to buy Miyamanishiki too!

CEL-24 from R1BY Aged almost 5 years, so a good opportunity to verify how long the fresh smoked sake will last. The aroma is still a little pineapple-y, but there's also a slight, slightly medicinal bitterness, not unpleasant but still something. The taste is, well, sweet and sour, but not fruity. The acidity is still pineapple-like, but the sweetness is thicker, like aged honey. The bitterness is surprisingly almost non-existent. I have to say that this is a delicious but different sake. To sum it up, the pineapple-like fruity flavor doesn't last long, but sweet and sour sake is somehow suitable for aging.

I've had it before, but only a little bit sunnier, and this time I finally got it within the year. The aroma is like banana milk. It has a bit of apple and peach flavor, but the lack of sourness is a bit surprising to me personally! Maybe I've been drinking too much lactic acid like Senkori or Shinsei. The taste is slightly carbonated and fruity, but the main flavor is the sweetness of rice. The taste is full and deep, yet delicate and smooth. It is still delicious! Certainly different from any other nigori sake I have ever tasted, it has a different feel to it. Personally, I like sweet and sour nigori sake, but this kind of nigori sake with low acidity and moderate sweetness, which brings out the mild flavor of the rice to the maximum extent, seems to me to be the king of nigori sake. I also drank the supernatant and found that the sweetness was even more subdued and the taste was perfectly balanced, which is typical of Jigokin! No wonder it's called one of the three best nigori. There is really nothing to complain about except for the taste.

Series made with 2023 Yamada Nishiki rice from Kurodasho-machi, grown in-house, which was particularly good. The first act was the blessings of the earth, and this second act was a different approach to rice! I don't know what it is, but it is finally ready to drink in the fall. The aroma is melon-like and fruity. Not too sweet, but a bit acidic and alcoholic. The taste has a strong sweetness and umami. Clean but drinkable with a refreshing aftertaste. It's been a while since I've had a Kuheiji, but it's a good, stable sake.

GI Niigata. Daiginjo using 100% Koshitanrei produced in Okuaga. As a side note, I personally don't think that adding alcohol to a GI sake has much of an effect on its value. The rice and water can only be from within the prefecture, but there are no restrictions on the alcohol. Let's get back to the main topic. The aroma is quite gorgeous even when using sake bowls As you would expect from a daiginjo. Fruity, sweet and elegant aroma like melon! The taste is rich sweetness and umami that melts in your mouth, but then the acidity and alcohol make it flow smoothly down your throat, making it very smooth and tasty. Overall, it is quite sweet, but with Niigata's characteristic clean sake quality and the smooth mouthfeel of a daiginjo, it is very easy to drink and is a delicious sake with a wonderful balance between drinkability and mouthfeel.

éks series that focus on one food genre and seek the best marriage. Basically, it's a sake exclusively for restaurants, but we sold it for a limited time on Makuake, so this time we're trying out the fourth edition, SUSHI! The aroma is floral and a bit melon-y. There is also a slight citrus acidity. The taste is soft sweetness, a little bitterness, and fruity citrus acidity. It tastes ok when drunk on its own, but the flavor is not very distinctive and seems a bit flat. Of course, I tried pairing it with sushi, and it was indeed quite different from the sake on its own! First of all, it surprisingly enhances the sweet and savory flavors of the ingredients, and is especially good with white fish, octopus, shrimp, etc. The acidity and minerality of the sake, together with the vinegared rice and soy sauce, create a very three-dimensional flavor, making both the food and the sake even more delicious, a perfect marriage! I found myself more than halfway through the bottle... even though it is not a dangerous type of sake at all! It's worth a try if you want to experience a professional's idea of marriage! Well, I think it's best to drink it at a regular collaborative restaurant.

This year's 3rd hanpukai Nirvana Kame Evolved from 99% the year before last, using brown rice for both koji and kakemai The aroma is yellow, but a little paler than that of 99%. The aroma is fragrant like a freshly roasted peanut. It is the least sake-like sake among all the Nirvana Turtles so far, but it is actually very good. The taste is of koji acidity, grain, and slightly oxidized fat. It can be drunk normally, but it has a very peculiar taste. Compared to the 90 and 92 Nirvana Turtles of years ago, the technology has clearly improved, but still, even Shinsei can't make fatty acid taste good! I wonder how the soon-to-be-released Nirvana Turtle 10th Anniversary will be like!

Shinshu Kamerei, higher than Hexagon, which seems to be for export only. The specs are the same as Ginkame with 39% Miyamanishiki. The aroma is milder than expected, with a delicate scent of melon peel and guava. In my usual wine glass, the aroma is more floral and sweet, like melon. Ginkame was more apple-like, so I hope I can differentiate it from Ginkame. The wine glass tastes a little carbonated, and the sweetness and acidity are relatively strong and fruity. The Shuwan has a more mellow, umami-forward sake-like flavor. Both are delicious, but each has its merits and demerits. The first glass is a glass of wine, and then you can drink it in small sips with Shuwan. Anyway, it is a wonderful sake with a perfect balance that is typical of Shinshu Kamerei.
