The aroma is restrained and slightly alcoholic, similar to the previous Kankoubai. The taste is "creamy yet sharp. This bottle has a certain sweetness, but the sharpness is what you want to focus on. I wonder if the light nigori should have been drunk earlier after buying it, or if it started to have a slight alcohol taste? I have the impression that this is connected to the sharpness. It is a bottle that does not lose even with oily food. Please try it.

The aroma is slightly seme? It is gorgeous, but the aroma itself is subdued. I tasted it again after noticing that there was some ceca in the bottle. The aroma is even stronger. The taste is "refreshing with a punchy flavor. I would definitely like to try this in a fire-roasted condition. I have never had a modern Sentori before, but I feel it is the antithesis of the sweet fruity trend, including the re-branding. I am interested in the fact that the sweetness is kept under control and the alcohol content is kept as low as 13 degrees Celsius. The assertion of sourness and bitterness derived from the raw sake is well balanced and leads to a lingering aftertaste. The lingering bitterness is sure to move your appetite. I think it goes well with simple fish sashimi. A little fatty. Please try it.

Good morning, Sake My Life 😃! I'm glad to hear that SENKYO has been renewed! We thought it was for everyone 🧐, but 😅everyone has their own way of feeling, and the fact that the rank of Sake no Wa has been raised is also a sign of expectation 🤗.

The aroma is restrained, fruity, pear-like scent. The taste has "a high level of umami and a well-balanced aftertaste and sharpness. The mouthfeel has a slightly effervescent and flat taste with a calmness, and although I do not often drink No. 6 series wines, I have the impression that this is the type of wine I would like to drink. It is more dry than mellow, and the lingering aftertaste, which is mainly bitter, invites another sip. Serve with oysters. Please try it.

Slightly sparkling, modern Niigata-style light-bodied sake. I often drink Shiboritate during this time of the year, and it is usually a raw sake with an alcohol content of 17 degrees or higher, which gives it a strong, robust flavor. However, it is delicious with just the right amount of lightness in the middle due to just the right amount of slight bubbles. While it has a good sharpness, it has the potential not to tire one's palate. It also has a crispness due to the acidity, not just the alcohol, while still having a strong umami flavor, making it easy to keep drinking. To be honest, this is the best Niigata Shiboritate of the season. Serve with teriyaki chicken thigh and sashimi. Try it!

The aroma is restrained and pleasant. The flavor is "robust and umami." The taste has a hint of 17% alcohol, but it gives a strong umami and a lingering aftertaste. It is because of the high alcohol content that you can feel the alcohol taste as it fades away. It has just the right amount of sweet, sour, and bitter, and is what one would call "umami". It has a solid foundation and is very drinkable. Please try it.

The aroma is very fruity. It is just like this. I was surprised to find Eiko Fuji available in Niigata. The taste is "sweet and fruity, with a long aftertaste. I always drink this when I want to feel a strong fruity taste. I like the taste of Kangiku, which is cut by acidity, but when I want to enjoy a robust taste like Funaguchi Can and Shimebari Ikuhara, I drink this. Please try it.

The aroma is mildly fruity. Apple-like. The taste is "soft sweet and delicious. The sweetness is moderately assertive, but it does not stand out badly. It is a sweet-tasting sake with a strong umami. There is almost no bitterness of the raw barley type, and the acidity is not that strong. The umami is still present, so the triangle of sweet, sour, and bitter is very beautifully formed. In general, this sake has a high level of quality. It is indeed a sweet, acidic, and fruity strain, but it is beautifully integrated and delicious. Please try it.

I've had this many times, so I'm reviewing the second day of opening the bottle. The aroma is muted while the acidity is soft and creamy. The taste is slightly effervescent, fruity, and sweet. The sweetness and fruity are natural, but there is no raw bitterness, and it is easy to drink. The sharpness is also pleasant. The lingering aftertaste is just right, and it leaves you wanting more. However, it still has the potential to be enjoyed on its own. To be honest, it is not elegant, but I think you will be able to taste its umami a little more after a few more days. Today, I served it with samgyeopsal. Please try it.

The aroma is faintly fruity, with a soft lactic acidic creaminess at the back. The taste is smooth and mildly drinkable, almost like crystal clear water. There is also a slight bubbly sensation on the tip of the tongue. It is similar to Kamizen Nyosui, in a good way, with its characteristics erased. It tastes as if it has been de-poisoned, when the sweet and sour fruity flavor of the trend is considered poison. To say that it has no core would be a negative expression, but you can drink it smoothly because you cannot feel a clear flavor that stands out on your tongue. I have a feeling that the flavor will change again after tomorrow, as I also feel a little firmness. This is a 14.5% sake, and you can almost feel no alcohol. You can feel the alcohol in the hints. Tenryohai has set a goal of creating a new Niigata Tanrei. If it is so beautifully finished, it may seem that there is no clue, but the flavor is a step forward in the current trend. The accompanying dishes need to be more subtle. It would go well with dashi-based Japanese appetizers. Please try it.

The aroma is gorgeous with sweetness. Not quite fruity, but very refreshing. The taste is smooth and sweet, and the high alcohol content gives it a robust umami flavor. The taste is a bit like a lighter can of funaguchi can, and I wonder if the sake-like character of the 20% alcohol content will converge with this flavor. The strong umami is addictive and does not become unpleasant even after continuous drinking. It never loses its edge to meat dishes. This is my favorite dry Niigata sake. Please try it.

The aroma is soothing and fruity, with a hint of lactic acidity. The taste is also very sweet and fruity. There is a slight fizziness that can be felt on the lips and tip of the tongue, and fresh citrus fruits such as lychee and orange. The last taste is slightly bitter with a gentle lingering sensation. The taste is right in the middle of the capsule family. As a side note, the other day on Doi Shoten's insta-live, he was asked "What will be the next trend after sweet and sour fruity beverages? Mr. Doi responded, "I think the new Niigata Tanrei style that Tenryohai-san is aiming for is coming, and I hope it will be exposed to the light of day in the future. This trend, which is literally narcotic in flavor, will be the moment when sake itself is brought into the limelight, and when the taste standard for sake is established by people around the world. We hope you will try it.

The aroma is piercingly gorgeous, with a so-called cemedine-like aroma and a peculiar odor derived from it? I have also felt a similar aroma in 寫楽. I have also felt a similar aroma to that of 寫aku. The taste has a slight bubbly sensation derived from nama and a refreshing sweetness. The bitterness and acidity are moderately suppressed for a nama-shu, but the robust roughness is very drinkable. However, the overall impression is of a rounded and gentle nama-shu. Since we are in Hiroshima, we served it with raw oysters today. Please try it.

I asked the waiter if he had any soft-water brewed sake and was introduced to this bottle. I wanted to study soft-water brewed sake because a friend of mine had joined a brewery that brews sake with the softest water in Japan. The aroma is fruity and sweet. The nose is fruity and sweet, with some lactic acidity. I was surprised at the lack of stickiness from the first sip to swallowing. The alcohol is also felt to a certain extent, which is typical of standard sake. The taste is "soft and fruity. The delicate balance between the softness of soft water and the fruity flavor is addictive. The ending is well-balanced with a hint of sourness and bitterness. I feel that I have found an exemplary answer to the question of modern sake made with soft water. What kind of snacks to pair with this sake? Fruity sake is difficult to pair with, but I think it would be a good match with fatty grilled fish such as Hokke. This is a bottle that showed me the possibilities of soft water. Finally, drinking this reminded me of Aizu Chusho. That soft and delicious sake is tentatively ranked as the most "surprising sake" I have had this year. I would like to try to find a sake that surpasses it. Please try it.

A lactic acidity that can be detected from the aroma. Creamy and refreshing aroma. The lactic acidity of fast brewing is clearly different from that of fast brewing. The sense of "sake yeast" can already be felt here. It is said that it is unfiltered sake. The strong sweetness felt from the introduction. It is like a baked apple or an apple boiled down with sugar. Finally, there is a strong acidity. The slight bubbling also gives it a sharp, even tingling sensation, and it is truly sharp. The taste is consistent, rough and powerful, partly due to the fact that it is unfiltered and raw. It is different from the recent gorgeous fruity wines, and has a presence that could be established as the next trend. It is a bottle with a strong assertiveness, with its gorgeousness well coated with mellowness. It does not give off a strong aroma or taste, but rather a "powerful" feeling. To be honest, as a sake-butler, I could finish this bottle by itself, but I think it goes well with strong flavors as an accompaniment, especially with fatty foods. I happen to have some khao mangai ingredients at home, so I would like to try it with pak choi and see how well it fares. We hope you enjoy it.

Toumi toumi -Arrival- Unfiltered, once-fired sake It has been a long time since the last Kangiku. The aroma is restrained for a Kangiku, but it is juicy and fruity. The taste is modern and well-balanced, with a strong sense of slight effervescence in the introduction, but the sweetness is restrained. There is some bitterness and a weaker acidity. The taste is calm and balanced with a low sweetness, but it also retains a slight fizziness that reminds one of a fresh fall sake. The label's hue is also probably intended for autumn harvest. I remember thinking, "Is this the same sake as 寫楽? I remember thinking, "This is 寫楽? It is interesting to see the contrasting tastes of two breweries that compete with sweet and fruity sake as an answer to autumn sake. The stance of Kangiku, which defines this as an autumn sake? I could catch a glimpse of Kangiku's stance in defining this as an autumn sake. If there are other brands of autumn sake, please forgive me for my lack of knowledge. It is thought that it goes well with meaty dishes that are not too rich as accompaniments. I would like to try it with yakitori sauce or salt tomorrow to see which goes better with it. Please try it.

The aroma is discreet and has a clean fruity quality. The mouthfeel is soft, with just a hint of bubbles. It has what is called a mellow sweetness and a good sharpness. There is a slight sourness to the sharpness, but it comes from the alcohol combined with bitterness. It seems to have the umami that sake drinkers love, but the "umami" I mentioned in my last post has been broken down and expressed as above. I have been drinking a lot of junodai recently, so it has been difficult to pair it with fatty foods, but I would like to try this kind of punchy sake with sautéed pork. The description reads, "A mellow honjozo with a refreshing taste and full of rice flavor. This is indeed a refreshing sake, as one would expect from Jyushidai. This is a dish that makes you feel like you've had a great time. When the temperature rises to a certain degree, it comes into its own. The umami and lingering bitterness are different. And the sense of alcohol is gone. I can't deny the possibility that my taste buds have become stupid due to drunkenness, but I can't help but enjoy this dish. I want to match it with yakitori with sauce. Please try it.

The aroma is not that noticeable. The aroma of rice, which is typical of junmai sake, is not that noticeable. When warmed by hand, it expands. The taste has a refreshing acidity and soft sweetness from the start. It goes down smoothly, but you can also taste the flavor, so you won't get tired of drinking it. This sake also has a strong sense of umami, but I realize that umami is a taste sensation that is perceived on a time axis, or rather, as a line. Therefore, I would like to be a little cautious about using the word "umami" too easily. My personal recent thought is that sweetness, sourness, and bitterness are sublimated as umami.

The aroma is fruity and refreshing without being too floral. The taste is light on the palate, but has a robust sweetness. Bitterness appears in the mid-palate, leaving a moderate aftertaste. It also has a caramel-like burnt sweetness. This taste is common in Aizan. Since it is jun-dai, it is a gentle bottle that also has a refreshing taste. Many of these sweet sake are complete on their own, but they make me want to eat something salty. We hope you enjoy it with the sashimi left over from the Bon Festival. Please try it.

The aroma is mild. The taste is "soft mouthfeel and strong umami. The acidity and bitterness both have a nice clean sharpness. The sweetness is more subdued than that of Dewa Sanzan. Omachi has a relatively strong aroma that passes through the nose, which is also responsible for its powerful umami. The sweetness is firm to some extent, but the lingering sharpness is pleasant. The lingering fullness of the umami is also nice. Hanayuyuu Omachi is a bottle that has a nice umami and sharpness all the way through.
