19 named for the Italian word for sheep. There was also a Pecora with Junmai Ginjo specs, but this blue bottle is a renewed Junmai Daiginjo with 35% Dewa Sanzu The aroma is apple-like and fruity. There is also a slight citrus acidity. In the mouth, it tastes slightly sweet and fruity like apples at first. From the middle, the acidity becomes stronger and finishes the taste, making it slightly dry. It is easy to drink and tastes like a 19. It can be enjoyed on its own, but since it is a relatively calm type of wine, the best way to enjoy it is with simple snacks.

Hishiko's summer sake, which was left for a year after mistakenly thinking it had been drunk The aroma is still very fresh, not at all like a year old sake. It smells like green apples and is fruity. The taste has a slightly nutty, aged flavor, but the refreshing acidity does not bother me too much. The overall balance is just right with a full-bodied flavor. It tastes much better than I expected. A good summer sake that is both refreshing and drinkable.

The label has a retro atmosphere. It is said to be the basic sake of Urakasumi. The aroma is only faint, but it is a classic aroma with a delicious rice flavor. The taste is clearer than expected, with a full-bodied rice sweetness and umami, but very mild and easy to drink. Although it is an alcoholic sake, the alcohol content is not high at 15%, so it is not very smooth, but the aftertaste is as refreshing as if you were drinking water. You can drink as much as you want! Personally, I wouldn't drink it on a daily basis, but it's a plainly delicious sake for people who drink it every day and feel like it goes along with their daily life.

Sake that won the highest gold medal at the San Francisco IWC and is served in ANA international lounges and the Dodgers VIP room All Yamada-Nishiki from Mito grown under contract The aroma is mild, with a classic rice and grain aroma. The taste is rich and full of sweetness and umami. You can clearly taste the original flavor of rice as if you were drinking rice soup. As expected from a daiginjo, the taste is very clean and pure, with no bitterness or other unpleasant tastes at all, and the acidity is kept quite low. It is my first time drinking this type of sake and I was a little surprised, but the more I drink it, the more I understand its depth. It seems to have great potential especially as a food sake, and it would be interesting to pair it with rice as a substitute.

A summer sake blending Hitogochi, Yamadanishiki, and Aizan Junmai Daiginjos with a lower alcohol content of 14%. The aroma is apple, but relatively mild and sweet. The aroma is apple, but relatively mild and not too sweet, giving it a refreshing summery taste. The taste is refreshing with a hint of umami, but overall it is quite light and refreshing. It is very easy to drink, just like drinking water. It is one of the most easy to drink sake I have ever had! This is the type of sake that I would drink on a hot day.

Isoboast's Blue Bottle Series Using only rice from the fields of Furuya, Nishido, and Tsuneda in the Tojo Akitsu district, the production area of Toku-A Yamadanishiki, this sake is like a single vineyard in wine! The aroma is gorgeous and complex. The aroma is fresh and fruity, with a hint of green melon, white flowers, herbs, and a hint of sweetness, as if the fruit is still in the process of ripening. The taste is quite full, with a refined sweetness and umami. Not only does it combine rice and melon flavors, but it also has a delicate and deep taste with just the right amount of alcohol sweetness and bitterness. It has a smooth mouthfeel without the stimulating spiciness of alcohol. Compared to the Isobojimas I have had so far, this sake seems to be a step above in quality! I said yesterday that I prefer Omachi to Yamada-Nishiki, but now I have to change my opinion.

The third bottle in the Pichika series. Sour&Bitter was just the right amount of sweetness, Sweet&Sour was as sweet as a lactic acid drink, but I wonder how sweet Extra Sweet really is! The aroma is lactic acid and pear-like, which is typical of sparkling sake. There is also a distinct sugary sweet smell. The taste was not so sweet at first due to the lactic acidity and carbonation, but soon the dense sweetness swelled up and it was still super sweet! The weak acidity makes it sweeter than ordinary cider, but the alcohol does not leave a strong taste in the mouth. It's usually tasty and dangerous, but on balance, I would only recommend it to people who usually prefer sweet drinks.

Comparison of Isobojimachi's Omachi Almost the same specs when it comes to acidity except for rice polishing ratio The aroma is the same blue melon type, but there is a distinct difference. Floral and alcoholic aroma can also be detected. The main taste is more pure and umami compared to Omachi 53. Then the sweetness of rice and alcohol comes out, and it finishes with the bitterness of alcohol. The taste is clean but also deep and rich, as is typical of Isoboast's daiginjos. Delicious! Compared to Isoboast's Yamada-Nishiki, Omachi's sweetness and umami of rice comes out more in the front, and it is more satisfying to drink, which I personally highly appreciate.

Special Junmai made from special grade rice from Akaban Omachi The aroma is rather mild, but very fruity and clean with a green melon-like ginjo aroma. The taste is also very fruity with a full-bodied sweet flavor, but it is not the boldness that is typical of Omachi sake, but rather a very delicate and soft flavor. There is not much acidity or alcohol, but it is clear and refreshing, and the aftertaste is like drinking water, in a good sense. Very easy to drink and delicious! Although it is only Tokujun, the quality is usually on the level of Daiginjo. It is a good sake that clearly shows Isobojiman's careful craftsmanship and high technology.

Kamo Nishiki with Akita's Misato Nishiki Is it a coincidence that the theme color is the same as the Viridian of Shinsei? The aroma is a bit melon-like, but there is also a green apple-like aroma, again of the Capueti type. The ginjo aroma is relatively mild but clear and clean. The taste is very mild and at first it feels like drinking water. As it rolls around in the mouth a little, the fruity flavor gradually spreads. The sweetness and acidity are both moderate, emphasizing the delicate umami, and the taste is very elegant and clear. Easy to drink and delicious! It may not be so gorgeous for a high-end sake, but it is easy to understand and usually delicious!

Collaboration with the manga Space Brothers Characterized by a light taste to express the lightness of low gravity The alcohol content is also quite light at 11 The aroma is not so gorgeous, but it is fruity and moderately sweet like green melon. There is also a cool, slightly herbal aroma, which certainly gives it a light image. The taste is fruity with a light sweetness. It is very refreshing with a slight carbonation, and is very easy to drink with a clear flavor and no cloying taste at all. It is not a high-impact type of sake, but it is a delicious sake that you can easily drink anytime, which is typical of daily life.

Kangiku Ken Aizan for the second year Last year, we drank only raw sake, so this time it's fire-brewed. The aroma is very gorgeous! Fruity aroma like apple and peach with a slightly strong alcoholic sweet smell. The taste is characterized by its presence and gentle acidity. The sweet and umami taste gradually spreads in the mouth, but the acidity finishes it off nicely. Despite its mellow flavor, it has a cool and refreshing taste. Compared to Red Diamond's Aizan, Aizan has a very good balance of rich sweetness and ease of drinking, making it a delicious sake that can be drunk easily.

The second Hanpukai of 2024, Flax Cat Kai. It's been out a few times already, with oak and sparkling versions, but this time it's the highest white malted rice ratio ever, with no yellow malted rice used except for the sake mother. So to speak, it's like Nirvana Turtle's rice polishing challenge! The aroma has a strong acidity like lemon or grapefruit. The taste is honestly not so different from that of a normal flax cat. The acidity may in fact be stronger, but compared to high malic acid producing yeast or high acid sake such as sake mother sake, it is a marginal difference. If you think about it, the key point is that even the weak enzymatic power of white malted rice could produce sake properly, and the fact that the taste remained the same should be considered a great success. It has a strong acidity, but it also has a sweet and sour taste, and is deliciously sweet and sour, the usual flax cat!

Aizu is a series based on the concept of "brewing Aizu. I have only seen Daiginjo before, but it seems that the brand has been expanded and developed this year. The aroma is quite gorgeous. Fruity aroma with melon and a bit of citrus acidity. The taste is also fruity and mildly sweet and umami, but the acidity is relatively high, not quite sweet and sour, but refreshing and clean. It is very easy to drink and delicious! It is a delicious sake that surprised me as much as the first time I drank instrumental Masamune.

Sake made by adding the fourth stage of koji amazake and the fifth stage of sake mother to the regular three-stage brewing process for Daruma Masamune's old sake. Sake degree -25, acidity 3 Slightly sweet, sweet and sour taste can be expected. Although it is only six months old, the aroma is a little mature. Grain, caramel and honey sweetness. The taste is quite rich and sweet. It has a thick texture, almost syrupy. A bit of grain complexity and a bit of acidity accentuate the sweetness, but it is not monotonous. Delicious! A classic sweet sake, which is a bit rare nowadays. If you like sweet sake, you must try this one!

Lastly, Kitaya in Fukuoka Looks almost colorless. The yellow color of the other three bottles doesn't seem to have anything to do with the single can. The aroma is gorgeous and fruity. Ginjo aroma is apple-like with a hint of sweetness. The taste is the same apple-like fruity flavor, but not so sweet. So called fruity dry type Polishing ratio is 59%, so the rice is not polished that much, but the taste is quite clear and transparent. The quality is usually high and tasty.

The third bottle is Hikaritake from Saga. The label says Junmai, but the rice polishing ratio is 50%. The color is also yellow, but it is the lightest of the three. It has a fruity ginjo aroma like melon and a slightly strong alcohol taste. The taste is rather dry with a moderate sweetness. The main taste is a full flavor with a slight melon sensation, and while it is very drinkable, it is also clear and transparent. As one would expect from a Daiginjo spec sake! Very high quality and delicious! Don't underestimate it as a mere one-pack can!

Eiko-Fuji's first red yeast Sake strength -64 and acidity 10.5 The numbers may make it look sweet, but sake has a high acidity level of 4 or 5, and even wine usually has an acidity level of 8 or less, so I expect it to actually be sour. The aroma is slightly sour, like that of tomatoes. The taste is quite sour as expected. The sweetness is also quite good, but it is more sour than sweet and sour. It tastes like orange or lemon juice with a little sake flavor added. I like dry and sour red wine, so I think this is good, but if you don't like sourness, it might be a little too sour for you. It has the highest acidity of any sake I know, and it's not really a sake, but it's an interesting sake that challenges the limits of sour sake, so you should definitely try it if you're interested.

Next up is Nagasaki's Kinegawa Sake Brewery. Reimei was one of the company names before the merger, and now it is a pure rice brand using Yamadanishiki produced in Isahaya City. We helped to start the Reimei brand of Taiseki Brewery, the only sake brewery in Okinawa. This one also looks a little yellow. The aroma is mild. Sweet aroma with a hint of banana and melon The main taste is a rich rice sweetness. There is also a slight melon-like fruity flavor. The final taste has a slightly strong acidity that gives it a nice sharpness, but overall it is very mild and tasty. It can be enjoyed on its own, but it has a strong umami flavor, so I think it will be even more effective as a food sake.

JR Kyushu Collaboration of Souvenir Sake in a Single-Goupe Can From Oita Yurikuri Brewing Company Looks distinctly yellow. Maybe unfiltered? The aroma is strong banana with a hint of grain. The taste is neither modern nor classic, with a banana-like fruity flavor and a grain complexity. It has a rich rice sweetness and flavor, and it is not too sharp, so it is easy to drink. Not my type, but better than expected.
