Named 18 for its 18% alcohol content. With its soft acidity, you can drink it as it is and it will go down smoothly. It is said to be a daringly high-alcohol sake, so it can be served with ice on top, which is certainly a good idea. Each brewery has its own way of making summer sake.

I especially like the moon after the rain, and have been drinking it a lot lately. I think it is really good. Although it did not win a gold medal this year, it is not a bad wine by any means. The balance, the texture, and the breadth of the wine are all first class. I am glad I bought it.

This is another Jyushiyo that was renewed this year. The sake future is quite good. It is soft and has a very velvety texture. It is delicious.

The last of the Shinsei LAPISSE, it was supposed to be aged for 5 years, but for the celebration, we opened the bottle after 2 years of aging. We were worried that it would be too early, but no, it was perfect. The aroma, richness and depth were in excellent condition. I added more carbonation to increase shelf life, which was also a nice touch. This was really good. It might be the best Shinsei ever.

It is a good sweet sake with just a hint of acidity. It is quite different from what we have had before, but we take it as a polished development. It is very good.

An irregular sake from Gobashi. It is brewed with out-of-spec rice polished to 90% and brewed in a wooden vat. We like this kind of experiment. The taste has a very acidic flavor that can only be achieved with a wooden cask and a clean taste that is hard to believe that it is 90% polished rice. It is indeed an attempt by Gobashi.

This is the sake I received. This is my first time drinking Kikubijin. It is a little dry and good as a food sake. It is even better when it is warmed up, as it becomes lighter.

I have recently started drinking Miyakanume. I found a good one and bought it. It is definitely good. It is fragrant and has a sinking taste.

I wanted to drink ocean 99 for the first time in a long time, so I bought it. It is still good. It is aromatic, fruity, and has a good acidity.

This is the second of three sessions of all Jyushidai brands. This time there were 11 kinds. To be honest, they are all good. Even though the prices are quite different, the flavors are all excellent. I think the Ryu no Ootoko Dai Gokujo Morohaku in the photo was the best of all. (It was also the first one to be emptied...).

It was smooth, but by the second day it had a pretty solid sweetness to it, and although it's shaken to a fairly low alcohol with a 14% original, it's still very solid.
