Sake My Life
Takeda Sake Brewery Joetsu City, Niigata Prefecture The aroma is fruity, with a beautiful floral note derived from alcohol. The taste is very intense. Sake lovers will love it. It is a mellow sweet sake. Since it was produced in December, it also has a rich umami flavor, like a matured or a few-day-old sake. It is considered to go well with salty snacks.

Kamo Nishiki Junmai Ginjo Nama Kamo Nishiki Shuzo Kamo City, Niigata Prefecture The aroma is sour and fruity. Almost in the middle of juicy and matte. The taste is sweet with a sharpness derived from the acidity. It has a strong lactic acidity. The aftertaste is slightly bitter and has a lingering sharpness from the alcohol that is not unpleasant. The higher grade sake "Kafuda-shu" series seems to have a more tranquil sweetness and sharpness. However, it is difficult to compare the regular type sold in Niigata Prefecture with the "Kafuda-shu" and "Brilliance" series sold outside Niigata Prefecture, for better or worse, making it difficult to see the vertical axis of the sake brewery. If it is as sharp as this, there should be no problem even if it is a hokke. The combination of sweetness and sharpness seems to be a recent trend, but it is likely to become the most orthodox standard in the current sake trend as a way of choosing dishes to match. We hope you will try it.

Takeyuu Sake Brewery - Super Dry Nama Hashiroshi Junmai Takeyuu Yuki-shi, Ibaraki Aroma (cold sake) →The nose has a mild acidity and a mellow, mature taste. Reminiscent of mellow white wine. (Is it a recent trend for dry sake to have more acidity?) (Is it a recent trend for dry sake to have more acidity? Taste (cold sake) →Soft on the tongue and crisp. Aromatic and dry. It has a richness and a lingering sensation of numbness on the tip of the tongue, which is called "sharpness". The acidity is not too strong, so the mild and mellow flavor stands out. It would be interesting to drink it hot. Serve it with salmon halami. Try it! (Received from our friend Y)

Junmai Sake Takachiyo Miyamanishiki Flat polished rice, fermentation complete +19, unfiltered, raw Takachiyo Shuzo Minamiuonuma City, Niigata Prefecture The nose has a strong acidity with a hint of sweetness on the underside. Not as good as the last Raifuku I had, but it has a white wine feel. The taste is very sharp, yet rounded and sharp. A sense of lingering and sharpness coexist. Is the sharpness created by the alcohol, which is not unpleasant and does not seem to have an alcohol content of 18%? Perhaps it is the acidity that gives it a pleasant sharpness. I can't help comparing it to the previous Raifuku, but I prefer this one. This is one of my top five favorite sake breweries in Niigata. It is at the forefront of Niigata's classic dry sake. I will be based in Niigata in the future, but this is a very instructive bottle that can be used as a benchmark. This time I served it with duck pastrami. Please try it.

Raifuku Junmai Ginjyo Super Dry Raifuku Shuzo Chikusei City, Ibaraki Prefecture It smells like white wine. It tastes exactly like white wine. It has a strong acidity. The taste is mellow and rounded. The lack of sharpness gives it a lingering sensation. Since it is a white wine, many possible matchings come to mind. Please try it.

Jikin Special Junmai Nama 2023 Kiyamasa Shuzo Nabari City, Mie Prefecture The aroma is juicy fruity, pineapple-like. Pineapple that can be felt even after drinking, and sharp, gorgeous sharpness. Bitterness that can be felt after two sips in succession. It is gorgeous and has the potential to be a food wine. Although there is no accompaniment this time, you may want to serve it with simmered dishes. The bitterness reminded me of the taste that Echigo Den'emon, which resumed production last year, is aiming for. I would like to try a higher grade Jikin. Please try it.

Keiraku Junmai Ginjo Orikagarami Nama Shu Miyazumi Meikozo Aizuwakamatsu City, Fukushima Prefecture It has a fluffy aroma like cooked rice and a juicy fruity aroma. The first sip gives off a slightly fizzy sensation. The sweetness is sublimed into a sharp aftertaste that cuts through the firm sweetness. What is the volatile sensation around the tongue that resembles a coughing sensation as the aftertaste lingers? It is a sensation similar to the Aron Alpha-like aroma (not a bad word) I felt when I drank Keiraku a long time ago. It feels as if the mellowness is lost due to filtration. This can be enjoyed after the bottle is opened. At the beginning of opening, it is still assertive, both youthful and rough. I am looking forward to seeing how it progresses. Please enjoy it. Purchased at Kaki-numa (Kitasenju). Postscript I did not drink it with the ori (ori) because of its ori nature. When I drank it with the ori, the softness was pushed to the front just like silk, and the roughness was reduced so that "the softness and sweetness were sharp and sharp". Very tasty.

Hatsuzumi Dewa no Sato - Junmai-shu Tohoku Meikozo Sakata City, Yamagata Prefecture (Purchased at Oban) The aroma is mild, almost scentless. Smooth texture on the tongue felt in the intro. Then, the chirpy acidity felt on both sides of the tongue. I think I understand the difference between malic acid and lactic acid here. While malic acid is sharp and piercing, the acidity from lactic acid is plump and full. The strong acidity gives the wine a sharpness and a fuller flavor. The sharpness also leaves a bitter taste, so there may be differences in likes and dislikes here. It was a shocking bottle that made me feel like I could finally understand the powerful taste of a strong sake made from lactic acid bacteria, which is only possible when it is drunk at temperatures between 15 and 20 degrees Celsius (hiya or room temperature). Considering the awareness of the makishimo that I could not feel with Daishichi, it may be that I personally am a first grandchild of a makishimo. Please try it.

Kidoizumi PURE PINK 2023 Hanafukuyuki Unpasteurized Sake Kidoizumi Shuzo Isumi City, Chiba Prefecture From the aroma, it has a strong sour aroma like a mizu-hashiroshi. The brewing method is an unfamiliar one: high-temperature Yamahai brewing. The taste is also full of acidity. The taste is too peculiar. It is sure to go well with rich food such as stewed pork cubes. A bottle that is steeped in sourness and rich flavor. The aftertaste is a lingering acidity. It destroys the preconceived idea of the taste of nama sake. The sake is served with a vinegared Asatsuki mushroom dressed with vinegared miso, which mellows out the acidity and allows you to taste the umami. I would like to pair vinegar with sake that has a strong acidity. However, I would like to learn more about this sake because I feel it has the potential to expand beyond that. We hope you will try it.

NAMAGEN Amefall Junmai Mizuhashiro, unfiltered unpasteurized sake Yoshikawa Brewery, Isehara City, Kanagawa Prefecture (Purchased at LaJomon) The thickness of the sake becomes apparent as soon as it is poured. The aroma is sour with a hint of vinegar. The introduction gives the impression of a white wine. It is packed with umami. The bitterness lingers softly as an aftertaste, so this is a bottle that is suitable for different people. It is clearly different from mizu-hashiroshi like the one we had at Hanaboe. It has a mellow, rich flavor, acidity, and bitterness. When drunk with stew as before, the acidity and bitterness soften it, so the umami is felt straight away. When paired with vinegared hoya, the aroma of the shiso leaves also changes the unique sourness to a softer sourness. The taste changes. It is delicious. Acid and acidity are easy to combine. As an expression of taste using mizu-hashiroshi, it expands the possibilities of sake. Please try it.

Banshu Yamadanishiki Junmai Daiginjo Kamo Nishiki Shuzo Kamo City, Niigata Prefecture (Purchased at Kakinuma Kitasenju) The aroma is more subdued than that of the same brand. The introduction is clean and sweet, with a smooth texture on the tongue. It goes in more smoothly than the sake made with Gohyakumangoku. It reminds one of the balancer-like pentagonal shape of Yamada-Nishiki. If it had more sharpness, it would sell even better. I paired it with stew, but it might be better with something a little more refreshing. I think that a sweet sake is complete on its own, but I would like to continue to search for a suitable marriage in the future. Komatsuna and thick fried bean curd with soy sauce and dried bonito flakes might be a good match. (Additional note). It is very tasty, so please try it.

Kafuda-shu Tankoba-kumi Junmai Daiginjo Kamo Nishiki Shuzo Kamo City, Niigata Prefecture (Purchased at Kakinuma) The aroma is very sweet. Juicy fruit type like melon. The introduction is soft with a slight bubbly feel. There is a hard roughness on the tongue that may be derived from the rice, but there is no bitterness like a raw sake. I was expecting a more glossy and elegant image, but this may be due to the rice used. I would like to try the other series as well. I prepared dumplings with this sake, but there is a possibility that this beautiful sake does not accept oily food. It might go well with some refreshing vegetables or stir-fried savory vegetables. Please try it.

KAISUMORI Junmai Ginjo (photo on right) Naeba Shuzo, Niigata Prefecture, Tsunan Town, Naka-uonuma County Sweet and fruity from the aroma. This, this, this. Fresh aroma like apple. The mouthfeel is juicy-sweet. Not the kind of sweetness you get after chewing rice, but pure sweetness. I like this kind of sweetness. Like Murayu's. But you can also feel the acidity in the sweetness and it is refreshing. Thank goodness this size is not sold very often. I took advantage of the can of Kimi no Ii and put hokke on it, but it doesn't go well with it. It left a bitter taste at the end. I'm still trying to come up with a new dipping sauce that goes well with this kind of sweet sake. I will have to rely on Marie Chiba's book. Purchased at Nagaoka Ponchu-kan.

Kiminoi Honjozo Nama-nazake (photo left) Kiminoi Shuzo, Myoko City, Niigata Prefecture This is the second aluminum canned sake I have experienced after Kikusui Funaguchi Can. The aroma gives the impression of strong alcohol. The mouthfeel is gentle, but the sweetness and richness come through strongly. It is less sweet than the FUNAGUCHI can, but it is easy to drink and can be enjoyed on its own. It is best paired with Hokke for those who prefer something with a stronger flavor. Purchased at Nagaoka Ponchu-kan.

DOBUROKUseries Hop 03 Rice and Agave Oga, Akita, Japan It takes about 10 minutes to open the bottle. The aroma is sweet and gorgeous, with a foreign fruity note. Although the rice graininess in the mouth is noticeable in the intro, you can feel the refreshing amazake in the schwartz. It is not as sweet as sweet sake, and is nice and crisp thanks to the hops. The sweetness and sharpness are created by the use of hops that bring out berry-like aromas, called bar-bruges. The outro has a gorgeous aroma that passes through the nose as if it were after drinking a craft beer. It is certainly more advanced than the one I had last year. The berry aroma mellows out the bitter sharpness of the hops. Ina and Agave, who advocate "brewing the climate of Oga," gave us an idea of what kind of place Oga is. Please try them. (Purchase at Mimasu Sake Shop (nearest Akabane Station)) Later, I drank only the top clearness, and found that it was derived from hops? It has a pure, sugar-like aroma without any cloying taste. The aroma is like pure sugar without any impurities. The sweetness seems to be stronger. The sweetness dripped off as the fizziness was also diminished. It might be better to drink it up on the same day to keep it tasty.

Daishichi Junmai Nama-no-Hashimoto Sake Daishichi Shuzo Nihonmatsu City, Fukushima Prefecture The aroma is a spicy sensation. This is a personal term coined by me, but I would describe it as spicy with a tugging sensation. The taste is as follows, Introduction→Fluffy, fruity, and more of a Japanese floral taste. Middle part→Rough and sharp, perhaps due to the strength of the sake's sake brewing process. Outro→Though the taste is strong on the nose, the lingering aftertaste, which is moderate, disappears quickly. This is a bottle like Mrs. Kurokawa's "My thing". Is this expression correct? I watched "Welcome to Komada Distillery" today, and there was a scene in which the main character makes a unique tasting note, and I wanted to make my own tasting note even if it is not expressed like that. According to the owner, there is a way to enjoy nama sake hot or at room temperature, so let's give it a try. Potherb mustard with nori and pepper chicken. Please try it! （Purchased at Suga Shoten (Hasuda)

Shinomine Omachi Junmai Ginjo Rinri Nakadori Unfiltered Unrefined Nama Sake Chiyo Shuzo Gosho City, Nara Prefecture The aroma is restrained for an unfiltered unpasteurized sake. Soft and fruity. The mouthfeel is slightly fizzy. The 23rd production of 23BY was just finished on 23/11. It is a new sake. It has a fullness in the mouth that stands out due to the chattering sensation. I am still learning about Omachi, but I think I may be getting to know it a little better. The umami spreads so roundly that it makes you wonder if there is such a thing as Omachi with a strong sharpness. As we often say, we are looking forward to the next 3 days. Please try it. Purchased at Tatsumi Seishudo.

Hizen Kuragokoro Special Junmai Super Dry Omachi Yano Shuzo Kashima-shi, Saga The aroma has alcohol and a wet smell that passes through the nose. It has a gorgeous aroma, but the impression is that it is too strong. The taste is punchy and umami, and it really feels as if the rice is being chewed in the mouth. The sharpness of the dryness of the sake quickly cuts through the lingering aftertaste. It is a mellow dry sake. Try it with hokke. Please try it. (Purchased at Suga Shoten)
