[Last year's personal no. 1: 🏆️ The ice-aged version of Gorin Junmai Namaishu, the most memorable sake I drank in 2024, again this year 😁. The top aroma is not fruity, but rather reminiscent of sweetness in a classical way. The umami is robust and mellow, with a clear, strong fullness that makes for excellent drinking 👍. At the end of drinking, you can also taste flavors derived from aging, and this is still to your liking: ‼️ I bought it two years in a row, so it didn't have the same impact as last year, but it is still a convincing product that will never make you regret buying it. ✌️✌️

Wadaya distribution in 2025 (2) Mutsu Hachisen red label wadaya hanpukai original orikarami version: ☺️ The aroma is a sweet pear-like aroma, and I imagined it would be quite sweet, but it is surprisingly crisp right after the bottle is opened. On the other hand, the overtone aroma is also quite fruity, so I felt a slight imbalance 🙃. Around the third day after opening the bottle, the taste became more balanced with the aroma, with a calm and silky sweetness 😄. It went very well with chicken hot pot with ponzu sauce 😋.

Wadaya distribution in 2025 (1) The first packaged sake in a while is a Wadaya limited edition. The alcohol content is low at 13%, and I don't usually buy low-alcohol sake because it is often out of my taste, but the good thing about the hanpukai is that I have the opportunity to drink such sake as well 😁. Tropical aroma spreads from the moment the bottle is opened 🥭. Easy to drink with a refreshing sweetness and a slight fizzy feeling, gorgeous, clean and very light. The aim is clear and I think it will be a hit with those who like it, but it's still a little too light for my taste 😅.

[I'll be able to laugh tomorrow 😄] This is actually the first time I have tasted a non-nagori Hirotogawa sake. The aroma is peachy and aromatic right after opening the bottle 🍑. It also has a freshness that is typical of nama-shu, making it very easy to drink from the first sip 😚. The sweetness is a little strong, but it's fresh and balanced and you can drink it as much as you want 😁. It's a great bottle to drink when you're feeling down, but it will give you energy for tomorrow 🤩.

[Adult Stair Climbing: ⏫️] This is a brand that I am very attached to since drinking a 2 year aged sake from Gokeijin opened the door to my love of aged sake. This is freshly pressed sake, so the taste is totally different... 😅 It has a tropical fruity 🥭 top aroma and a nice chirichiri-ness. Sweet but very refreshing, very easy to drink and delicious 😋. Unlike aged sake, I would recommend this to anyone 😁. Gokeijo is of course a brand that I would not miss, but I also quite like the sake rice itself, Hitanishiki. Morishima, Kiritsukuba, Yui Yui, Raifuku, and all the Hitachi-Nishiki I've had so far are at a high level👍👍.

[Coexistence of extreme features ⚖️] A two-year aged version of Shizen Shu Nama Shu 😁, a hometown tax return gift from Koriyama City. The color is yellowish, and the top aroma is grain & nutty 🥜. It is one of the most matured sake I've ever had, but it also has a bubbly, fizzy taste that is typical of nama-zake, and even though I like nama-zake, I've never had a sake that has such a strong and distinct character. After a few days from opening the bottle, the fizziness subsides and it becomes a slightly fruity and mildly matured sake, but the unique feeling until about the second day, when both the maturity and fizziness are strong, is great😘😘😘😘.

Heavy rotation 🎸] I want to buy a bottle of Tazake zodiac sign every year if possible. This year I got it in Shimane where I traveled at the end of the year😆. The nose has a very Tasake-like apple aroma. The mouthfeel is drier than I expected, but the umami is strong and well-balanced👍. I haven't had Tazake recently, not since the zodiac bottle a year ago, but it's the brand that introduced me to the world of sake, so I still want to drink it regularly 😊.

Yonezawa Muscats Yonezawa City's hometown tax returns 🎁. I haven't had a drink in probably 5 years. The top aroma is a typical fruity ginjo aroma 🥭. Not too sweet, but soft and elegant. The aftertaste is refreshing and fades away, but the hint of aroma is strangely grape-like, which is the most distinctive feature 😄. The aroma and taste are more gorgeous after a few days than on the first day of opening the bottle, so it can be enjoyed not only as a mealtime drink but also on its own 😊.

[Limited to 200 direct Shinkansen flights 🚄]. Only 200 bottles of Shinkansen label🚅 were released at Tokyo Station last December 26th. The unfiltered unpasteurized sake was pressed that morning and brought to Tokyo Station on the Shinkansen 😯. It has a gorgeous apple, pear, and pear aroma with a slightly chili flavor. It is fresh and light in mouthfeel, with Hitogokochi characteristics coming through well. This is a very high level sake. The first 2 days after opening the bottle, it was very refreshing, but on the 3rd day, it seemed to be juicier 😄. I'm very glad I happened to come across it, as it is a very limited edition 😊.

Happy New Year 2025🎍] A belated Happy New Year m(__)m The first one of the New Year is Jigori-Nigori which I purchased by releasing 200 Kagataya points. ✌️ It was so effervescent that I had a hard time opening the bottle, and it is very energetic and good for the New Year👍! It has a lychee-like aroma, elegant sweetness, and a full flavor, and is a perfect bottle that reaffirms that nigori is good like this 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰. 2025 could slide out with the best sake imaginable🥇🥇.

[For the comfort of the cribbotch 🎅]. My wife and kids went back home, but I was too busy with work to accompany them 😭 At least I'll open a Christmas-colored jizima 🥳. Maybe it's the color of the label, or maybe it's the perry type of top notes 🍓. Slightly fizzy and easy to drink with a chirpy mouthfeel 😘. Sweet and sour but not light with elegant bitterness and drinkability, very tasty 🥰. Not many opportunities to buy metaphysics usually, so this is a great self Christmas gift 😂🎁.

Japan's Newest Sake Brewery's First Lot 🥇. A bit expensive, in the 2,800 yen range, but buy it because you can't drink birth sake anymore if you miss out on it now ☺️ It has a slight apple🍎 aroma with a slight bubbly feel. Fairly light mouthfeel with the flavor of the wooden vat spreading out and then disappearing as if evaporating. After a few days, the fizzy feeling disappears and it seems to become even lighter with a little more acidity. It is a little too light for my taste and I would like to see a little more richness and spiciness in the drink 😅. Well, this is a matter of taste 😄. Whatever the case may be, I think it is a good sake with a clear concept and the intentions of the brewer are well formed 😙.

[Very moderate in a good way😁]. The nose is muscat-like, but mild. It is not so sweet, but it is not dry either. The fizziness that is often associated with nigori sake is completely absent. It has both moderate umami and a refreshing aftertaste. There is nothing really special about it, but it is a delicious sake that goes down smoothly 😘. The regular junmai ginjo is a bit sharper, but the orikarami has a softer structure 😊. I think it is a good representation of the "ultimate food sake" as orikarami, in a different way from the regular product: ✌️

[The destructive power of Kamitachika😁]. Gifu Prefecture, Gero City, Furusato tax return gift. From the moment the bottle is opened, the sweet fruity ginjo aroma explodes 🤯. It may be one of the strongest aromas I've ever had 😄. It has a slight effervescence and is sweet and very juicy 🧃. I had never heard of this brand before, and it was not registered in Sake-no-wa, but it tastes like Eiko-Fuji or Kangiku, with a sweet, royal, and gorgeous taste 🦚. It's been a while since I've had a sake from this line, but it's easy to drink and goes down a treat 😘. I'm sure it would be great with gratin or stew 😋. I haven't tried it but I don't think it would go well with sashimi...

[I like nigori a little sweeter 🥰]. I remember drinking it 3 years ago and liking it, so I bought it: ✌️ The lees are small for a nigori sake. It has a peachy aroma and a slight effervescence that is exactly what you would expect 😄. It is not dry, but lightly sweet and has an exquisite refreshing taste. I think this level of sweetness is the best for nigori sake 😊.

R6BY 1st bottle 😄] I've been drinking only ice-aged sake for the past month or so, but I finally got my hands on some new sake. This year, I started with Tsururei's nigori sake: ✌️ It has a thick leesiness and strong carbonation, perfect for this time of the year 😊. Not so much sweetness, but dryness and heaviness. The first day it didn't have much fullness, but on the second day I felt it became a little more rounded. I like the robust nigori sake too 😙. I'll be drinking a lot of nigori for a while 🫡.

[Kunpeki Kanpeki 🙆‍♂️] A hometown tax return gift from Konan City, Aichi Prefecture. The third consecutive low temperature aging following Houou Mita and Tosa Shiragiku 🎆. The aging period is said to be half a year, but the liquid is a little ochre-colored with a yellowish tinge for that 🟡. The moment you drink it, you can feel the impact of the sweetness and the alcohol, and after swallowing it, you will be left with a sharp bitter taste with a matured taste 😆. A little nutty 🥜 flavor, low acidity, and a strong umami and toromi, exactly what I like 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰. It is sold all year round and is priced around 1,500 yen, so great that I think I'll make it a regular sake 🤣.

[I want to be there for a little while longer 😍] Furusato tax return gift from Geisei City, Kochi Prefecture😄. The price of the bottle is over 3,000 yen if you buy it normally, so the more you buy, the more useful the Furusato tax payment is 😁. The aroma is melon-like, with a gentle sweetness spreading from the attack and a very smooth mouthfeel 😋. Sweet but not too sweet, soft spiciness with little acidity gives it a clean crispness, amazingly delicious... 😳😳😳😳 It was so delicious that once I started drinking it, I couldn't stop and drank more than 3 gou of it at once 😂. I almost finished it, though my rationality was just barely triggered...

[Champion of the land 👑] A 3-year aged Jun Daigin brewed with Gohyakumangoku from the Mita district, which is also the origin of the Houou Mita name. Just hearing the name makes you drool 🤤. Quite a fruity melon🍈 type top nose. The attack is gentle and thin, but the umami with a rounded richness overflows from it, and after swallowing, a spicy bitterness spreads gradually. The lingering aroma has a slight alcohol taste with a hint of maturity, which is quite to my liking. I like it best when it is aged for about 3 years in chilled or ice temperature as a spec! 💯💯💯
