Wadaya hanpukai in 2025 (10) I somehow didn't want to open the bottle, so I let it sit for about 3 months😅. Sweet and fresh apple aroma. The sweet, fresh apple aroma, with a slightly bubbly and sweet attack that seems to have been incorporated directly into the flavor, gives way to an extended umami taste that spreads throughout the palate 🌈. At the end of the drink, there is a refreshing bitterness like grapefruit and a hint of fragrance, and it tastes gorgeous like a kaleidoscope 🏵️ I'm not a fan of many citrusy sweet and sour sake, but this is exceptionally delicious 😳. Definitely one of my personal #1 candidates this year 🤩🤩🤩.

Good evening, Chanmaya P! Jikin Sanko Mie Yamadanishiki - a very clear and too delicious review 🤤. The time spent sipping it at home is bliss, isn't it 😋. I would love to drink it at home 🤗.

Thank you, ma-ki 😊. There may be a placebo of rare brands 😅, but it was a blissful home drinking experience, as you said, including that!

I'm going to give you a big thump. According to the POP in the store, this is a hiyaoroshi that has been aged for two summers✌. This is the second consecutive multi-year aged bottle since Kozan, but the quality of the sake is the exact opposite 😲. This one is quite robust, with a spiciness that could be described as ultra-harsh, and a finish that stands out for its acidity. It has a mild heady aroma and is not flashy at all, but is a solid, robust, orthodox sake. I didn't feel any sense of maturity. I drank it all before trying it, but it would probably go great with grilled salt fish 🍁.

Ripe and fresh I can't stop drooling even before drinking it. It still has a slight bubbly taste even though it has been sleeping for 3 years. It has a soft sweetness with a sake degree of -6, and an acidity that seems to have been toned down after aging. It has a sweet and sour sake quality, but it is full-bodied and has a solid 17% alcohol content, so it is not light, which I don't like, and I enjoyed drinking it👍👍 A few days after opening the bottle, the slight bubbles disappear completely and it becomes sweeter and more rounded, but personally, I liked the exquisite fresh ripeness right after opening the bottle 😄. I was really lucky to come across it 😙 as I was told that the shipment was limited to 500 bottles.

Hiyayoroshi is also good👍 This is the hiyaoroshi version of my favorite Mansyuusen LE. The new sake is great, so I have high expectations even before drinking this one. ⬆️⬆️ Sweet fruity aroma. Of course, it is much milder than the new sake season, but a little chillier and fresher hiyaoroshi 🫧. Some sweetness, but a nice crisp aftertaste, clear and elegant 😊. It's not quite the same as the pithy new sake, but I think it's a perfectly balanced hiyaoroshi that doesn't miss the direction of this series 😋.

[Even though it's all in one place! 😮] Hiyoroshi from Nishinomon purchased at a sake brewery direct sales event at Shibuya Tokyu 🍁. It is a hiyaoroshi from the nama-shu (raw sake) category, with a dense melon🍈-like top-fragrance. It also has a bit of fizziness, and the dark sweetness like ripe banana🍌 combined with the spiciness of the aftertaste gives it a very punchy taste🥊. The Hitogokochi sake I've had so far all gave me the impression of being refreshing, but this one is the exact opposite, with a rich sweetness 😄. I paired it with sautéed cod with lots of butter, and it was a perfect marriage, just as I had hoped 🥰🥰🥰.

[tutti frutti🔴] Get Tosa Shiragiku's limited edition products in Tokushima on your trip👍 It has a very fruity 🥭 top aroma, like muscat, melon, lychee, I don't know what it is anymore, but it is very fruity and has a little bit of a chili feeling. It has a slight sweetness, sharp mouthfeel, and a dignified spiciness that makes it a natural dry 🥰. I have rarely had a chance to drink Tosa Shiragiku, but the ice-aged sake I got last year with my hometown tax payment was wonderful, and I'd like to actively buy it if I find it in the future 😄.

[Full-bodied, thick] Ice-cold aged sake from the mountains 🤩. The top aroma is gorgeous and there is still a slight effervescence. It has a thick umami flavor due to the aging process, and although it is not flashy, it is a highly complete bottle with a refreshing sweetness and a full-bodied drinking experience 😘. The punch that is typical of the mountains is layered with a richness that seems to come from the aging process, and it's quite good👍. I nominated Yamama as one of my 10 personal favorites last year, and I'm sure there will be another one this year 🤣.

[I love the south 🫶] A special summer-only version of South, made from unfiltered unpasteurized sake and aged fresh in the refrigerator👍. Minami itself is a crisp and dry brand with a Kochi-like impression, but this bottle retains that characteristic while also maintaining a gorgeous aroma, mature flavor, unadorned fruity and gassy taste that is also very well balanced and extremely 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍. It was a great match with tuna and salmon sashimi: 🐟️ This is really one of the best ‼️

ma-ki, I buy it at Tokyo Station every time I go to the station, but since it is originally from Wakayama, I'm sure there are places near Osaka that sell it as well 😁. Also, I think you can usually buy it online depending on the time of year!

[Hire Sake Boss 👊] I looked for a good sake to enjoy the Hire Sake that came with my takeout tecchiri and finally bought Ichinokura. I heated it up in a sake warmer and put the fillet in the sake and drank it. ‼️ The aroma and richness of the fillet accented the dryness of the sake and made it taste pretty much the way I wanted it to 😁. Nice choice 👍

Good evening, Chanmaya P. 🦉. Hire sake 😻 sounds delicious ❣️ I was wondering if a regular honjozo or something like that would be better? I was thinking that a dry junmai with few peculiarities would make the best use of the fins! Memo note 📝🙏🙏.

Japanese>English

ちゃんまやP

Pon-chan, I think the honjozo is of course good 😊For myself, I thought it would be more delicious if I matched the fins with a rugged dry junmai, so I tried it this time!

I'm getting excited! This is a hometown tax return gift from Takayama City, Gifu Prefecture. The killer words "Jun Daigin Nama", "Ice Storage", "Abelia Flower Yeast", "Limited Quantity", "No General Distribution", I can't stop myself from getting excited before I drink it💘😁. The mild but fruity aroma like pear 🍐 and moderate sweetness are pleasant, and after swallowing, it is tightened with moderate alcohol and spiciness. It's refreshing, yet very drinkable and delicious 😋. I didn't get a sense of maturity from this sake, but it is a good sake with a gentle roundness and a story to tell 😍.

Strong Style Doburoku💪] A tax return gift from Tono City. I received two four-packs of 14% alcohol by volume, so it's nice that I can drink it with soda water without losing much. 👍️ It has almost no sweetness and is rather dry and dry. ⚡️ Because it is dry, it tastes thin if you drink too much soda water, so I found 2 parts doburoku to 1 part soda water to be a good balance for me 😁. On a hot day, it's good to drink beer and doburoku soda depending on your mood 😋.

2025 Wadaya hanpukai (⑨) Wadaya's limited edition wine that has undergone several months of ice-cold aging in the brewery for the hanpukai 😁. The freshness and the slight bubbles that are typical of Kaze no Mori come to the forefront, and the taste does not disappoint us 😍. The sweetness is not so much felt and the flavor is pleasantly spread from the slightly dry attack 😘. It has almost no sense of maturity, and it wears off with a slight bitterness, making it very refreshing to drink 😘✌️ As the temperature rises, the sweetness increases and the impression becomes juicier 🧃.

[Back to Standard️] This is a bottle that I fell in love with in my early days of drinking sake. I haven't had it in years, but it's still delicious 🥰. It has an apple aroma and a slight effervescence. It has a sweet attack, but it disappears quickly like Wasanbon, and the aftertaste is cut off with a thin bitterness. A picture-perfect, clean, honors sake 😋. I thought again that I was able to fall in love with sake because I found this kind of brand when I first started 😁.

[Mermaid in the surf 🧜] Kawachinagano City's hometown tax return gift, which was in my personal top 10 last year, is back again this year: ✨️ This is a special product made by maturing unfiltered raw sake at the bottom of a dam for half a year. The combination of the 18 degrees alcohol content, the solid sense of maturity, and the mellow and dense flavor is still my favorite taste 🥰. It has a story of aging at the bottom of a lake, which is very attractive to sake lovers, and is a very distinctive and unique bottle 👍👍.

[Give me a big dobrok 🛐] Hometown tax return gift from Ina City, Nagano Prefecture. I ordered a set of two 600ml bottles to drink a lot of doburoku soda👍. It is 6% alcohol by volume even if you drink it as it is, so it is not too much to say that it is non-alcoholic when you mix it with soda (lie 😁). It's a very tasty 😘 drink as is, but the doburoku soda with a little bit of strong carbonated water is the best 😍! We had a total of 1.2 liters and it ran out quickly 😭. I want a bigger one 😄

Wadaya distribution in 2025 (8) This is a wadaya-only light nigori version of Sentori Retro. I usually don't drink or buy SENKYO, so it's been quite a while 😅. It is a low-alcoholic sake with a slightly fizzy, sweet and sour taste with a strong acidity and a light mouthfeel anyway 🪶. It has a strong Sentori character and the aim is very clear. It's not my favorite sake quality, but I think many people like this kind of sake and it's a good thing about hanpukai that we have a chance to drink brands we don't usually drink 😁.

Wadaya distribution in 2025 (7) A true metamorphic sake 😎. A hybrid of sake🍶 and beer🍺 brewed with a cross between doburoku and hops. It is a hybrid of doburoku and hops 🍶 and beer 🍺. Since it is a brew of other brews, it is definitely a colored sake compared to regular sake, but the combination of the rich flavor of doburoku and the moderate coolness of hops makes it far more delicious than I expected before drinking it 🤩. The top aroma is muscat-like. Low alcohol, easy to drink and 500ml capacity, so it was empty in about 20 minutes after opening the bottle 😅... It's quite expensive compared to beer, but it's definitely the one and only tasty drink 😁.

[The lord's topknot. Well, I hadn't drank recently, so I bought Nabeshima for the first time in 2 years. The tropical aroma that is typical of Nabeshima is intriguing 😆. It has a slight effervescence, a perfect balance of sweetness and sharpness, and an easy-drinking quality that will appeal to many people ✌️ The absolute sweetness is on par with Shinshu Kamerei's Jungin Yamadanishiki, which I drank one time before, but Nabeshima has a cleaner aftertaste and a more subdued overtone. This is also a very good sake that can be safely recommended to anyone😘.

The top aroma is apple🍎, but strangely enough, the overtone is melon🍈, and the fruity aroma is multi-layered. It is a little chili, and after a while after pouring it into a glass, it turns into a kiken rice juice with a sweetness that increases at once. ☢️ The impression is that it is fresh, sweet, and delicious right in the middle, and the quality of the sake is easy to drink and acceptable to all 😄.
