This is a popular classic sake from Shikano Shuzo, where Mr. Naohiko Noriguchi, known as the "God of Sake Brewing," helped revive the Yamahai brewing method and established the popularity of ginjo-shu. It is a gem of a sake that harmonizes the ample flavor of rice with the breadth of flavor unique to Yamahai. It can be served either cold or lukewarm to show its true value.

Commentary. Carefully selected Dewa Sanzu rice is used at 50% polished rice.

Sweet, fruity ‼️ This is Kagoshima sake! Here is the description Nishi Shuzo, famous for its sweet potato shochu "Hozan", has created a sake! Junmai Ginjo-shu made with Yamada-Nishiki. It is a refined sake that should be drunk in a wine glass. The glass overflows with a gorgeous ginjo aroma of pears, melon, and white peaches. When the glass is turned to let the air in, the aroma of yogurt, fresh cheese, fresh chestnuts, and chestnut flowers can also be detected, allowing you to enjoy the harmony of layers of aromas. On the palate, the attack is mellow. Creaminess with umami, and the fruit flavors that were also present in the aroma spread out. The lingering finish has excellent penetrating power, and despite the richness of the mid-palate, the finish is delicate, as if drawing a straight line.

Commentary. The dry label "Shinku" is dyed bright red. It is a very sharp type of sake even for Hakugakuzen. It flows smoothly and softly on the palate, and the umami of the rice spreads softly. So, if you are thinking, "This is a beautiful sake, but I don't feel much spiciness," it suddenly becomes sharp toward the end of the bottle. It is just like a "snap! The crisp finish makes you want to drink another glass. It is a very troublesome sake. It can be enjoyed at a wide range of temperatures, from cold to warm.

Morishima彗星 純米大吟醸 新酒搾りたて生

YukiOk0408
Commentary. In the sixth year of the Morishima series, a new attempt was made to brew a junmai daiginjo using 100% "Comet," a rice suitable for sake brewing produced in Hokkaido. We went to Higashikawa-cho in Hokkaido to experience firsthand the characteristics of "Comet" and brew it. Due to the small number of people involved in this season's brewing, only a limited amount of freshly squeezed, unpasteurized sake will be available for sale. The taste is smart, with a light umami flavor, accented by a burst of acidity. The finish is soft and fluffy. Please enjoy it while feeling the gaseous sensation typical of new sake when the bottle is opened. It is also delicious.

YukiOk0408
Commentary. Unfiltered, unpasteurized, unpasteurized. No bubbles, no time. TATENOGAWA MUGA is the result of a "selfless" pursuit of freshness and deliciousness. 100% Miyamanishiki produced by contract farmers in Shonai is used. The acidity and rice sweetness harmonize to produce a sharp fruitiness. Although it is an unfiltered, unpasteurized sake, it is light on the palate. Refreshing on the palate with a harmony of dignified acidity and rice flavor. Delicious.

YukiOk0408
Commentary. What is the complete fermentation of Yuki no Bijin? It is not simply a desire for spiciness (drier), It is a bottle in which the moromi (the stage before pressing to make sake) is fermented to the very limit while maintaining the fresh rice flavor and firm acidity that is characteristic of Yukinobijin. It is delicious.

Commentary. It has a light color with a grain-like scent, and in addition to the traditional candy-like sweetness, the taste itself has a classical flavor, and the rich taste is gradually overwhelmed by the graininess. It has a strong bitterness and a full-bodied taste, and a dry aftertaste with a strong bitterness, acidity, and a refreshing feeling. It has a dry aftertaste with a strong, somewhat rough taste that is impressive. It was delicious.

It is delicious. Here are some explanatory quotes It has been in shape to some extent for several years, a limpid junmai daiginjo with a blue aroma, an image of adding my own elements to the sake made by my master, Toshiji Nagasaki. It is not a standard Daiginjo with gluco-fermented koji + caproic acid + SF filtration of the modern breweries, so it does not have the quality of a standard Daiginjo, but I think it is a Daigin that is typical of the Sanin region. This sake reminds me of San'in's Junmai sake making. It is a sake that can be drunk well even now and can be seen for 30 years in refrigeration!

Sweetness is good. Jyushiyo does not betray. Here is the explanation. This is the newest sake from "Jyushidai Honmaru," which is shipped in large quantities throughout the year. It is shipped only once a year, in December. The silky smooth texture is pleasant on the tongue, and the elegant sweetness and rice flavor swell elegantly. The mellow aroma and flavor of the rice is beautifully balanced by the firm acidity.

It tastes light and delicious. Here is the description The fresh texture spreads from the gentle mouthfeel, as if it were freshly pressed sake. The light sweetness and pleasantly soft umami are the main characteristics, with a hint of acidity, a sharp atmosphere, and a gassy feeling that makes the taste even lighter. The lingering finish is softly sweet and very approachable.

YukiOk0408
It's light and fruity. Delicious. Here is an explanation Since the pressing time is set to "Risshun no Hi" (the first day of spring), this sake is more difficult to make than daiginjyo because it must be carefully controlled and adjusted according to the quality of the rice and climate changes of each year. In between shipments, the brewery performs a purification ceremony to pray for good health, family safety, and prosperous business. Please enjoy the fresh, vibrant, freshly pressed flavor that could only be tasted in the sake brewery. This precious sake can only be enjoyed once a year.
