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.

The nose is mildly fruity. The aroma is mildly fruity, not quite floral, but soft. Sometimes the ginjo aroma can be too strong, but this is not the case, and the aroma makes it easy to take another sip. The taste is "mellow, rich, and lightly umami. It also has a refreshing acidity that is not overbearing. It has a muscat flavor. Although the sweetness is not as thick as one would expect from Dewa Sanzan, it has a soft, jelly-like texture and the acidity at the end is not overly fruity, and it comes together as a beautiful and comfortable sweetness. If one were to visualize the taste, it would be like water in a weightless state. It is too easy to describe it as simply sweet, though it is much more on the sweet side than the middle of sweet and dry. In general, there is no doubt that this sake has a high level of quality. Please try it.

What's that aroma, lactic creamy acidity, have you ever smelled it in a white wine? The taste is moderately acidic, moderately sharp. In a good sense, it does not have any flashy characteristics. It is moderate, but it also gives you a good sense of umami. The final aftertaste is again a "moderate" bitterness. The sweetness is clean and refreshing. The acidity has a certain hook, so I feel that it has the potential to not lose its flavor during meals. I don't like white wine-like sake that much, but I think I can enjoy drinking this one. Overall, it is soft. Please try it.

Gorgeous fruity from the aroma. Clear and direct pineapple feel. Reminds me exactly of Cell 24 or F40G. The taste is not too sweet as the aroma suggests. Rather, it disappears quickly. When I drank it at a bar before, I felt the richness, but it was not that much because it was freshly opened. I guess it tastes like it has been fermented after opening the bottle, so I would like to let it sit for a few days. Recently, I have been into S&B's seasoning series, and I served it with jerk chicken. Please try it.

The aroma is marked by a lactic acidity and a gorgeous fruity quality. It is tempting to say, "This is it. The palate is juicy and pineapple-like, with a hint of citrus. The slight effervescence is not dull. The acidity gives it a strong sharpness. ?" Is that why? The orange-colored Omachi Aizan fusion has a longer aftertaste and is not as sharp. Is it because of the season? However, the modern sweet and sour fruity tastes are in vogue, so there is a tendency for similar tastes to emerge, but the MACHO series consistently has a strong umami flavor as an added value, which makes it unforgettable. We thought that pineapple would be a good accompaniment for such a juicy dish, so we served it with sweet-and-sour pork. We hope you enjoy it.

The aroma is clear and moderately sweet. Not quite fruity. The aroma itself is moderate. Along with the sweetness, it also has a refreshing coolness. The taste is soft sweetness. It also has a slight sourness. There is not much sharpness, and the sweetness rises and then quietly settles. The alcohol content is low at 13 degrees Celsius, so there are no clinging sensations. However, it is easy to drink, and each sip is enjoyable as the umami and sweetness of the rice can be felt. The rice polishing ratio is 70%, so you can enjoy the complexity of the rice. Serve with squid Matsumae. Please try it.

Pineapple, which is felt immediately from the aroma. A true ethyl caproate. This feeling is Kameizumi CEL-24. The taste is also guttural sweetness and fruity. I'm glad that it can be swept away like this. To be honest, the aroma and flavor are so intense that it gives me a headache when I drink it. The alcohol content is 19%, which is quite robust. It tastes like a combination of Kikusui Funaguchi can and Kameizumi cel-24. It is probably not something you would drink on your first sip. It might be interesting as an accent if you add it when you are drunk to some extent. It has the potential to be competitive in garlic stir-fries and grilled dishes. It can also be used with fatty foods. It makes you want to have something to go with it. Please try it.

The aroma is commonly fruity. Strong. The acidity is also noticeable, and even a slight menthol sensation. The taste is sweet, but the acidity is very noticeable. It is perfect for those who like a strong, sharp taste. It is not a white wine, but it has a fruit-derived acidity. It would be a good match with refreshing dishes such as seafood carpaccio. Please try it.

The aroma is milky and 寫lax. Milky acidity with a lactic feel and matte fruity. Taste is honestly flabby and mature. It has a thick softness. This is a counter sake that betrays the unconscious definition of this sweetness for this aroma. Although not my personal favorite, it is an interesting bottle as a solution. As it approaches room temperature, the flavor becomes more fruity. However, it is a strange sensation to enjoy the fruity taste at near room temperature. Also, as it approaches room temperature, the sense of maturity is intensified. At the risk of being critical, I could not figure out which demographic they were trying to reach.

I raised the light intensity of the photo too much. The aroma is the same as usual, a little fruity. You can also feel a beautiful alcohol taste. The taste is one word: "delicious. Despite its richness and fruity taste, the high alcohol content of 19 degrees Celsius is not felt that much. It is a very good example of the technical skill to maintain this level of richness while still being able to express a fruity taste. This is exactly what I want when I want a sweet, dark sake. The usual dullness of Funaguchi cans that you can see when you drink it? Or rather, the feeling of being told, "You can do it if you put your mind to it. I can do it! I often buy canned Funaguchi because I sometimes want the rich sweetness of the regular canned Funaguchi, but I honestly can't go back to the regular canned Funaguchi if I'm served this. According to the manager of the liquor store (Hasegawa-ya in Niigata) where I bought it, they can't buy it anymore. I know it will cost a lot of money to make this the standard, but I really hope they do it. I believe that Kikusui Brewery has the capital and technical capabilities to develop the modern sake often sold in Japan, but they must have grander ambitions, such as overseas expansion through an American corporation or a fermentation theme park. I often see Kikusui's higher-priced sake, but let's drink it. This is probably the first time I have written this long, but I guess that is how much I personally liked and was surprised by the sake. Please try it.

Kirabi The aroma is sweet and fruity, with a pleasant hint of acidity. The taste is soft on the palate, thick? Fluffy? Soft and fluffy. The impression is that the softness of the sake stands out, although it naturally has the feeling of being a pure sake. The acidity gives it a sharpness that makes it easy to drink. The overall impression is that it is a "soft nama-shu. It is expected that the sake will become dull if it is left for a little time. (Although letting it sit for a while is not the original way to enjoy nama-shu.) Since this sake is from Toyama City, I would definitely like to pair it with seafood. This time, I will enjoy it with simple sashimi. Tomorrow, I plan to enjoy it with simmered shrimp and hagi. We hope you enjoy it.

The aroma is not quite fruity, but refreshingly sweet. The taste is clear and sweet with a lingering sweetness. The impression is of the straightforward sweetness and gentle ginjo aroma characteristic of Yamagata Prefecture's sweet sake. There is also a balancing impression of Yamada-Nishiki. The slight bubbles and the broad, dark flavor offset each other and lead to a pleasant aftertaste. There is little bitterness derived from the raw sake, so the sharpness is not as strong as it could be. There is no doubt that this is a strong-flavored sake in the Shinomine style. I like it and often repeat it. There are other famous sake breweries in the Katsuragi mountain range, including Gosho City where the brewery is located. I would like to visit this place someday. Following the Shinshu Kamerei, this is another sake that I would like to enjoy quietly and without any particular accompaniment. Please try it.

Aroma of maturity, sour aroma similar to that of yogurt Mellow sweet, moderately sweet, not as acidic as the aroma, lightness due to the 12° Alben, and the plus/minus from the sense of maturity, which comes out as a moderate sweetness, sweet, but in a sense, in-between (umami).
