[Tonight is Yamada😄] Sake Sho Yamada limited edition that I bought and drank during my trip to Hiroshima: ✌️ Yamada" is a new sake made from "Yamada" Nishiki, which is bought in tanks and aged for nearly a year before shipping 😍. The mellow but clean sweetness, the spiciness in the aftertaste, and the melon-like aroma are exactly what you would expect from a Saijo sake 😋. I wonder if it's due to the aging process, but it has a flavor that doesn't lose to meat dishes, so I think it's easy to pair with western food as well 😆.

[Rice shochu? 😮] I found a bottle that I haven't tasted yet and bought it 😁. It has 19% alcohol by volume and +20 sake, which is a strong spec like rice shochu 😳. When I drank it, there is almost no rice shochu feeling (of course), but the alcohol is indeed very strong. I think it would be better to drink it with some small ice cubes floating on it to make the taste more rounded👍. Chokyu is really quite different in character from bottle to bottle, so it's fun and good 😂.

[My favorite word is ice warm 🧊] Of all the sake related words, my favorite is "ice temperature aging". When I find it, I basically go to the cash register 😁. If it's a fresh sake, it's even better💘 The aroma is quite sweet 🍑 and the attack is actually as sweet and juicy as you'd expect. But surprisingly, it doesn't linger and tightens up with a nice spiciness: 👍️ It is said that this is a half year old sake from this spring, so you can't smell the matured aroma in the hints. It is good with a hearty meal. ⛩️ It can be served with Western food as well.

Hi Chanmaya P. 😃 Ice temperature 🧊 aging! Yes, that's a good four-letter word 🤗It will be gentle on the palate too😊. But I need to prepare a refrigerator at home 🏠 that can be kept at ice temperature 🤔 I wish I had one!

J&N, sorry for the impossibly late reply... 🙇‍♂️ That's the part that really worries me, I've decided not to buy a dedicated sake fridge, so I'll drink it within a few days of buying it 😄.

[Stubborn Takuji 👴] Pineapple🍍 aroma and a fresh, slightly fizzy feel. A little sweet and sour in the mouth, but the taste pulls away quickly and is a light sake 🪽. If it had ended there, it would have seemed a little underwhelming to me, but the spiciness felt in the throat when swallowing and the bitterness in the aftertaste are surprisingly robust and moderately drinkable and delicious 😁. The gap between the retro label and the modern taste, and the gap between the impression at the beginning and at the end of drinking is interesting, and I'm convinced that this is a highly rated bottle👍.

[We have to do everything we can to make sure he's okay. Saiya Sake Brewery is located near the Koyoshi River, which was flooded by heavy rain... I really hope they are safe as it is my favorite brand 🙏. This is Yamadaho, a summer limited edition. The characteristics of the rice are well expressed and the first impression is just so clear👍. It is a really beautiful sake that changes from moderately sweet to smooth acidity and a refreshingly spicy aftertaste that keeps the cup going 😄. We don't know the damage, but we can only support them by drinking it now.

Good morning, Chanmaya P. ☀️ I don't know the details, but looking at the social networking sites of the related stores, it seems to be ok ( ⁎⁎⁎⁎). Even though it's near the Koyoshi River, it's downstream so it doesn't seem to flood easily 😊.

Set with exclusive snacks 😋] A Chiyomusubi hanpukai limited edition. Includes dried grilled horse mackerel marinated in the same strong junmai ginjo as what 🐟️ The top aroma is banana🍌 and you can taste the sweetness even before drinking. It's a little fizzy and sweet, so it's easy to drink and dangerous to go gulping it down. ⚠️ It has 17 degrees... 😱 The special snacks are also rather sweet, but it is so dense that it doesn't affect the sweetness and goes well with rich, sweet and spicy food 😊.

[The answer must be in the back. Hirotogawa, which I haven't had in quite a while. And this is probably the first time for me to drink Jun Daigin👍. The top aroma is mild but somewhat peachy 🍑. After the calm sweetness, a very smooth umami spreads out, and after swallowing, you feel a refreshing spiciness 😊. It's not flashy, it's a deep taste that goes well with food, especially with dry food 😁😁😁. I knew it was Hirotogawa. It's a very stable brand.

[Eraser Gun 🌬️] What I felt more strongly than anything else was the creaminess at the end of the drink 🍦. It has the perfect gasiness for summer drinking, and combined with the tropical 🥭 fruity aroma, it is very easy to drink 😄. It has a strong complex flavor that is typical of Omachi, and maybe that's what leads to the creamy feel. The strong attack, followed by a moderate acidity and dry aftertaste makes it very drinkable 😁.

[One with a different hair color. First time, Aru Soe Genmai 🎉. All of the Genmai I've had so far have been junmai, and they all tasted similar in their own way, but this bottle with aluzome is clearly different 😊. The ripe fruit sweetness that is typical of Genmai is subdued, and the taste is rather refreshing. It has a bitter aftertaste. The aroma is somewhat nutty. I felt the depth of nostalgia that this kind of expression is also possible 👍.

[Grandma's liquor in a candy store😁] The bottle is too energetic, so I had to stop a few times to open the bottle. I had a hard time opening the bottle when I drank it 2 years ago, come to think of it 😅. It's quite strongly carbonated and has a slight sweetness, but basically dry and sour. It's perfect for this time of year when it's getting hot and best drunk with one ice cube floating on top 😆. (I think it's a bit dangerous in the middle of summer because you'll want to guzzle it down... 😄)

[Juicy Crane Age 🧃] This bottle of Tsururei is a juicy, sweet-and-sour sake made from raw sake O Omachi. It has a very distinct flavor, and the sweet and sour taste is accompanied by a solid alcohol content of 17%, which makes it very drinkable, even if you are not a fan of sweet and sour sake. It can be served with Japanese food, but it is also strong enough to be served with spaghetti meat sauce 🍝, so it has a wide range of uses 😄.

OLIVE des MUSCATS It's been quite a while since I've had a Kagawa sake. ☺️ The label on the back of the bottle and the store's POP were both pushing muscat in the front, but both the top and the hint of aroma were just like muscat 😄. It's not my favorite sweet and sour sake, but this bottle is quite good thanks to the slight effervescence and high alcohol content 😁. It's especially easy to drink in the hot summer (although it's dangerous because of its high alcohol content 😅). I finished it on the second night of opening the bottle because it seemed to get a little harder to drink for me once the fizziness was gone 👍.

[Full specs of Japan's oldest sake brewery 😉 ] Junmai Daiginjo, ice cold aged, unfiltered raw - all my favorite words in a row, a bottle that is impossible to pass up 😁. I didn't know this, but it was founded in 1141 and seems to be the oldest existing sake brewery in Japan... Σ 883 years ago❗❗❗ The alcohol aroma is strong, though the strength is not strong. It is quite dry, and the most impressive thing is the bitterness of the aftertaste. I didn't notice much acidity and it was probably the most bitter sake I've ever had 😳. It is said to be aged for one year, so I honestly wish it had more umami and a sense of maturity with hints of incense, but I learned a lot about it, including its history. Also, it was a very unexpected but good match with sweet and tasty chicken liver stew 😋.

[You have a good insect system too! 😁] I tried it at a pub I know and it was so good I bought it at the liquor store for home drinking 😄. It's an 18% alcohol content, spicy and robust, but the moment you take a sip, you can feel a more rounded umami flavor, which quickly gives way to an interesting acidic and spicy quality. It was very easy to pair with sashimi, but the best match was cold chilled Chinese noodles with sesame sauce. I really enjoyed this unique drinking combination at home. ✌️ I've had a lot of sake with insect motifs that I didn't like, but this one was quite good: ☺️

You're No. 1. I was blown away by the taste of this bottle when I drank it for the first time the year before last. Since then, it's a must-buy bottle for me every year. ✌️✌️ It has a fruity aroma, just a little bit of chili, and a nice mouthfeel. The sweetness is felt for a moment, and then the umami that spreads afterwards is thick. At the end of drinking, the spiciness and rum raisin-like aroma that is typical of matured sake remain. Everything I look for in a sake at a high level 😆💯.

Good morning, Chanmaya P. 😊 I was so curious about the red chokyu in this post that I bought it online. It was very tasty! Your review of the taste was so accurate and so true! I enjoyed it so much that I kept muttering to myself, "It's so good!

Thanks for taking the time to contact me, tsutsumitate-san 😄. This is really delicious! Chokyu has an interesting taste that varies quite a bit from label to label, but I think this red Bizen Omachi is by far the best of the bunch.

Designated as a priority purchase for the second half of the year. This is my third bottle of Manjusen this year. The previous two bottles were LIMITED EDITION, but this time I got Jungin Nama Sake ✌️ It is easy to drink with a fresh muscat-like aroma and a perfect chirichiri-ness: ☺️ The sweetness is moderately refreshing and the bitterness in the aftertaste is delicious. Matches well with rich egg dishes😋. The grapefruit aftertaste gets stronger as the day goes on, but I prefer it right after opening the bottle😄. Last year I liked Chokyu and bought it a lot, but I think I will drink a lot of Manjusen in the second half of this year 🥰.

This is the flagship 🚢. Although it is a brand in my Hall of Fame, I have not enjoyed drinking Oroku for a while due to its high price, but I still want to drink it regularly 😍. This time it's the Jogi named after the brewer ❗ It is R04BY, but the long low temperature aging of Ohroku is still a wonderful thing 🥰. It has concentrated umami flavor without losing the freshness of the unpasteurized sake, and the balance between the firm spiciness in the aftertaste and the mature aroma in the hints is perfect 💯. I will buy this sake more often and more often 😁.

[Voluntary aging in store! 😳] This nigori nama sake touts its freshness, but the production date is November 2023... 🤔. I don't know if they aged it on purpose or if it was just unsold until now, but I'm interested in the taste after aging it in the store for about 6 months 😁. The gasiness that the label says on the back has almost disappeared and my first impression was that it was somewhat lacking, but after the second day my impression changed completely and I found the contrast between the rich umami and the solid bitterness to be an interesting sake 😊. It has a very deep flavor, and if this is what the store was aiming for, it's just amazing... 🙇.

[It's been a while since I've been to Haneya, but it's an odd one 🪶] Haneya has been my favorite brand since I first got into the sake swamp, but there are many stores that carry it within my living area, and I have been buying it less and less lately, probably because it is not so special. 🙇‍♂ This time, for the first time in about 2 years, I bought a limited edition sake with an elaborate label 😁. I thought it was quite sweet at the moment I drank it, but it disappeared in an instant and was followed by a mineral acidity. It's been a while since I've had it, but I still get excited when I drink Haneya 🔼. This time, hokki-gai sashimi was the best marriage 😋.

Nagano famous sake Yamadanishiki Unfiltered Unrefined Nama-shu (2) This is Mikotsuru following Genmai. This one is more highly polished, but otherwise has the same specs as Genmai 😙. Genshu Mai had a sweet aroma like pear, while Mikotsuru had a refreshing aroma like apple, and Mikotsuru had a slightly stronger effervescence. The taste was as fresh as the aroma, and the sweetness was milder than that of Genshuu. Overall, Mikotsuru is more refreshing and both are high quality, but Mikotsuru is more to my taste 😆. Although the two brands seem relatively similar, you can recognize the difference when you compare them 😄. Both are delicious, so it was a very enjoyable drinking comparison 🥰.
