Sake My Life
Purchased at Sunmart (Nagaoka City). Aroma is gorgeous, capricious but moderate. The taste is "thick on the tongue with a strong sweet flavor. The taste is also strong, but it has a sharpness that does not give the impression of being too strong. I think the taste is very strong. It is like a subtraction of the dullness of the Morimasu we drank yesterday. If Morimasu is satisfying on its own, this one can be enjoyed while eating. The aroma component is suppressed and the alcohol content is a little strong, which is probably the reason for the sharpness of this beer. The sweetness is stronger than before, but this is due to the softness of the rice and the sweetness of Omachi. Please try it.

The aroma is of iso-type fresh apple. The taste is fruity and soft, as only a ginjo can be. Refreshingly fruity. The taste has a certain density. It is more delicious than expected. Personally, I prefer a ginjo-style sake that is as light as this. Since it is a Tochio sake, we served it with Tochio fried tofu. Please try it.

At Hasegawa Sake Shop online. The aroma is mild and beautifully sweet fruity. The taste is "soft and excellent umami. From the soft texture on the tongue, it has a robust umami with a wild omachi-like feel and a sharpness with a slight bitterness. It is a sign of confidence that it does not claim to be jungin due to the rice polishing ratio. The koji (malted rice) is also made from Akaban Omachi, which is a luxurious specification. At the SAKE COMPETITION 2025, Tenjo Mugen, which we drank yesterday, took second place. And this one took first place. Personally, I like the relatively dark flavor of Tenjomugen. However, in terms of refinement, I would say this one is better in the sense that it is brewed with soft water. It matches very well with fish. The certain stench of fish is removed and the pairing is complete. Please try it.

At Hasegawa Sake Shop Online. The one I was interested in at the SAKE COMPETITION. Two other items, I will give later. The aroma is almost nonexistent and the taste is mildly sweet. The taste is "both sweet and spicy. If it were said, it would be more on the sweet side. However, after the initial sweetness and umami, there is a lingering finish that is moist and sharp, making it a truly sublime "umakuchi". In terms of "umakuchi," this may be the best sake ever. It is a mellow, umami spiciness that is unique to Miyagi Prefecture, while at the same time keeping the trends in check. Naturally, it goes well with fish, but it also has a strong umami flavor that is not defeated by fatty dishes. Please try it.

The aroma is slightly mellow and acidic. The taste is characterized by acidity. Drinking it cold, it has a not-too-sharp acidity that is also mellow. It is a light sweet white wine with a slight astringency. It is also close to the acidity of mizu-hashiroshi type wines. In a sense, it is a shocking bottle as it leaves a strong impression of sweet "Murayu". It was supposed to be a pioneer of Niigata sake, but again? It is a bit like a "no". Please try it.

Honey-like sweet and sour aroma, dried fruit aroma such as dried grapes. The taste is strong and dark, with a strong sweetness, but the dryness is not lost on the palate. The taste is similar to that of Murayu, with a dryness that is typical of Niigata. The alcohol gives it an even darker taste, and the nose is powerful and outstandingly drinkable. It tastes a little like a can of Funaguchi with a little more acidity. Please try it.

Purchased at Nakazawa Sake Shop in Takasaki City. The aroma has a mature flavor and a subtle fruity feeling. When poured into a glass, it is softly thickened. The taste has acidity and slight bitterness, which is the strength of the sake's traditional sake making process. The texture is smooth on the tongue, and the acidity is sharp at the end. It has a sense of maturity, so it is best to drink it at room temperature. You will be able to taste the fuller umami if you drink it at room temperature. The specifications say that it is made from 80% polished Senbon-Nishiki rice, which is surprising. It is amazing that they have been able to suppress the miscellaneous flavors so well. A versatile food sake. Please try it.

Purchased at Nakazawa Sake Shop in Takasaki City. Gorgeous and fruity from the aroma. A little acidity can also be felt. The taste is quite fruity, but I personally like it. It is like Toyo Bijin or Jyushiyo or something like that. It has a good balance of sweetness and fruityness. I think there is also a sharpness, probably due to the 16% alcohol content. It also has a slight gaseous taste and is light on the tongue, making it easy to drink. I ate Chinese food first, so my sense of taste is a little dull, but this sweet and fruity wine goes well with it. Please try it.

Purchased at Nakazawa Sake Shop in Takasaki City. The aroma is capsicum and pineapple type, gorgeous and fruity. The taste is also capsule-like, dark, and gorgeous. However, it also has a strong bitter taste, as if it were a raw sake, so it is not too tiring to drink. It also has an alcoholic taste and is very drinkable. It is not a MACHO, but more like a medium-height with a firm trunk. It has a strong power contrary to its appearance. It is interesting that a locally distributed sake can be so fruity. It seems to go better with meat dishes than fish. Please try it.

The aroma is gorgeous with a hint of refreshing acidity. The mouthfeel is cool and has a slightly sweet aroma that passes through the nose. It is mellow and dry. In a good sense, you do not feel any glucose. It is floral, yet has this sharpness. I personally like it very much if the wild taste of nama-zake is calmed down. There is a bitter taste peculiar to nama-shu. The sharpness of the aftertaste due to the bitter acidity is characteristic. It matches well with the smell of seafood from fish sashimi. Please try it.

The aroma is a bit peculiar with a sense of maturity. The taste also has a strong sense of maturity, like bitterness and odor. As you continue drinking, this sense of maturity is also felt in the coolness, and it seems to go well with strong-flavored food. The taste is oaky and mature, clean, sharp, cool, and soft, with a strong alu-ness that cannot be found in 14%. I would like to try other Tianqing. I had been impressed by the freshness of the morning pressing before, and was hoping for the same. I would like to enjoy this sake from the viewpoint of a brewery that has finished its production from June onward. We hope you will enjoy it.

The aroma is gorgeously juicy and capricious. The sweetness comes first, but the spicy and rich flavor of Omachi makes it not too harsh. The alcohol gives it a smooth and crisp taste, and it also gives a glimpse of a sake that is similar to the raw sake of Shibari. It is not as gaseous as a nama-shu, and is not as hard, making it easy to drink. It is a bit sweeter than Asahitaka, which we drank most recently. The alcohol content is 16%, so perhaps that is the reason. Please try it.

Limited edition from December to May, heat-treated at the time of bottling. The sweet aroma is stronger than last year. A little bit of gasiness on the tip of the tongue. The sweetness has increased from last year, and it is more modern in terms of sweetness. The sweetness is more modern in terms of sweetness. The sweetness is easy to drink without feeling the alcohol. It is similar to the sweetness that can be easily felt in Aizan. It does not have the lightness of the "honmaru" style, and it seems to be complete on its own. The taste is richer than the Asahitaka's food sake taste.

When poured, it is cloudy. The aroma is a fresh, gorgeous fruity type. The taste is "sweet, full, citrusy, and refreshing acidity. The acidity stands out while drinking. There is a creamy acidity with a hint of ooziness, but the citric "sourness" is strong. It goes well with mozzarella and cream cheese. The brewer says that it also goes well with pizza and pâté de campagne, so it may be better to make it stronger in flavor to make it compatible with this strong acidity. Please try it.

Commonly known as Abe Pink. The nose is creamy and beautifully acidic, the aroma itself is a bit subdued. The aroma itself is a bit reserved, but the fruity flavor becomes stronger when the temperature is raised a bit. The taste is "a trinity of fruity, refreshing, and creamy. The nigori type has a strong impression of sweetness, but there is also an assertion of acidity that is not unpleasant, creating a refreshing taste. The slight bitterness in the aftertaste is likely to play a good role during the meal. Abe Pink is said to be particularly fruity and sweet in the Abe series, so we bought it to know the maximum value. To be honest, my nose was so clogged up today that I couldn't recognize the aroma, but it healed a bit and I went again. It is crazy fruity. You feel it all at once by drinking it while eating. And the creaminess of the aftertaste. I don't know if I've mentioned this before, but it's similar to a packing slip. High level sake. Please try it.

(Cold Sake). The aroma is slightly creamy with a hint of lactic acidity. The taste is "light and dry with a touch of bitterness. The mouthfeel is really clean and refreshing. However, the lingering bitterness and slight acidity give the impression of fullness as a rice flavor, leading to a sharpness. It is not a sake that I would buy in the future, but it tastes great as a mid-meal sake. I will try it at room temperature. Please try it.

Sugary, direct, gentle and sweet aroma. Taste is "fresh sweet full with a gassy aftertaste." In the case of sweet and full, this level of gassy aftertaste is what I want. The gasiness may have been a little too strong, leaving an aftertaste like the aftertaste of soda water. The balance of sweet, sour, and bitter is good, and the lingering aftertaste is delicious. I think the font of "macho" on the front label has changed. I thought it had been changed frequently. It's a little late for that. Please try it!

The aroma is gorgeously fruity. Slightly lactic acidic aroma. The taste is "sweet and full in the middle, with a strong acidity. Similar to the Yuki no Mori. The acidity is also assertive to some extent. Is Hachitan-Nishiki being produced in Niigata? There are many sake breweries in Niigata that are making such sweet and full sake, but I have found another one. I am also interested in "knot" which was introduced in this year's dancyu. Please try it. My personal opinion. I feel that Niigata sake breweries are burdened with the stereotype of "light and dry. In that sense, I think that answers like Koshiji-no-Kenbai are possible, but I also feel that they are trying to create sake that is a good compromise between dry and sweet, such as Garakudai, Abe, and Kafusatsu-shu. They are trying to sublimate light dryness. I think there is a trial-and-error process unique to Niigata to subtract the full sweetness and bring it to a good sake, and in this sense, I would like to continue to closely follow Niigata sake in the future.

Room temperature The aroma is that of a matured The aroma itself is moderate. The aroma itself is subdued. The taste is "fluffy in the mouth with a robust flavor. The alcohol and aroma of the honjozo are assumed. The introduction is gentle, as if it were brewed with soft water, but it also has a fluffy feel. The gorgeous flavor that can sometimes be felt in the back of the throat is also not to be missed. I have a feeling that this sake will be enjoyed as a food sake, not hiding behind the food, but playing both roles. Serve with gout hot pot. Please try it.

Polishing ratio 90 100% "Yunokou" produced in Oshu City, Iwate Prefecture It goes well with both cheese and soba noodles. Iwate is hot these days, especially in Shiwa Town. I am confronted with a self-explanatory solution to the problem of sake made with yeast No. 6, which I have not been able to touch on much until now. Purchased at LaJomon in Hirakishimizu, Yamagata City. This is a representative sake shop of Yamagata that you must visit when you come to Yamagata. Try it for yourself.
