Gorgeous, refreshing aroma reminiscent of apples and flowers. The smooth mouthfeel is followed by a mellow rice sweetness, but the lingering acidity and bitterness make it easy to drink without becoming cloyingly sweet.

We participated in the lottery for the Shinshu Kamerei using Hitogokochi produced in Tozawa, which is a Jizuya Miyajima exclusive, and were surprised to win (of course we thought we would fail...). The only sake rice in the Shinshu Kamerei series that is grown in the same water system as the brewing water. A clear and gorgeous ginjo aroma reminiscent of apples, as usual. The clear and clean mouthfeel with a slight gassy sensation, followed by the spread of juicy rice sweetness and umami like fresh fruit, and then it finishes with a refreshing acidity.

When opened, it has a mild aroma derived from rice, but as it settles down, it reveals a gorgeous aroma. The light, carbonated mouthfeel is followed by the plump, juicy rice flavor and sweetness that is typical of orikarami.

Probably the first cup brewed with Omachi from Fukuoka Prefecture. Gorgeous ginjo aroma reminiscent of melon. The palate is clear but rounded, with a full rice flavor and sweetness that spreads out and then recedes quickly with a lingering acidity like an undertow.

Slightly subdued ginjo aroma with just the right amount of flamboyance. The clear, clean mouthfeel, with a slight gassy sensation, spreads juicy flavor and sweetness, like biting into an apple, and finishes with acidity.

One more drink to compare The Tsukishita Muyo series has a robust flavor, so I prefer this one for the coming season.

At the Takashimaya Sake Event It was great to have a little chat with Mr. Yamamoto, the toji (master brewer)! The sake was delicious, with its usual refreshing acidity and juicy sweetness!

Good evening, Mr. Orfevre! Twilight Orange, it's delicious 😋. I may have been pulled in by the label, but I certainly feel the orange - I was shocked at the technology that could create this flavor with sake ingredients 🤗.

Nabeshima new item after a long time! The aroma is milder than usual because it is from the Classic series. The nose is clean with a slight gasiness, followed by a round, fruity rice flavor and sweetness, ending with a firm acidity and a clean, crisp finish. Overall, the acidity is a bit strong, almost like white grapes. The acidity is relatively strong among Nabeshima wines. Recently, they have been releasing a variety of sake rice in the special junmai class, so I have high expectations for them in the future!

A gem brewed with sake rice "Guriyanto", which was once used as a gift rice for the Emperor. I was surprised to find out that it is a Junmai Daiginjo, even though it claims to be Junmai! A fresh and gorgeous ginjo aroma reminiscent of lush meadows and apples! From the clear mouthfeel, the rice flavor is lightly grainy, with a soft sweetness reminiscent of white peaches and a touch of sourness that finishes with a rather long aftertaste.

Another brand of Takagaki Shuzo, which brews Ryujinmaru Mild ginjo aroma with a hint of brown sugar and caramel behind the graininess. Soft and smooth on the palate, with a voluptuous sweetness that spreads and tightens with a refreshing acidity. When warmed to human body temperature, the acidity becomes more pronounced and the flavor sharper. The robust taste makes it a good match for stewed dishes.

It's been a while since I've had a drink, so I stopped off at Ueda on the way back from a trip to Kanto and bought this one. The ginjo aroma is gorgeous and fresh, reminiscent of apples. Smooth and clean on the palate, with a slightly voluminous umami and sweetness like biting into a juicy fruit, and finishing crisp and light with sharp acidity and bitterness. I haven't had it in about a year, but it is still consistently delicious! I wish there were more distributors near me...

Slightly floral aroma reminiscent of grapes. The clear and slightly gaseous mouthfeel is followed by a mellow rice flavor and sweetness reminiscent of juicy fruit, and then it finishes with a refreshingly light and refreshing acidity. It was very tasty as it has been talked about recently!
