Cankerina occidentalis Celastrus orbiculatus I forgot to put it on the list. It is delicious with a gaseous taste. Pineapple It is said that the name "Kangiku" comes from its strong and beautiful blooming appearance even in the cold season, just like Kangiku (chrysanthemum blooming in the cold) that blooms in the winter.

Kinoene blue-green algae Iinuma Purchased at a tasting. It is peach and banana, but personally, the taste is Koshi-like, light and fruity. Cider, apple. Delicious. It is named after one letter from his son's name. Nice name. The brand was renewed in 2011. In November of 2012, there was a change in the name and the company became the 16th generation. The 12th head of the family was born in the year of Koshi, and the name of the sake was given to the brewery in response to the order to dedicate sake to nearby temples and shrines.

Suehiro (former Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department) Classic Yamahai, perfectly suited for hot sake. I like Genzai so I wanted to try this one. I used to not like the taste, but now I can taste or understand it. The phrase "akinai hasuehiroku" (the business is wide at the end) was used in an old trading code, after which this was named.

Formosan sweetgum (Liquidambar formosana) I don't remember because I forgot to put it on. Named after the Chinese auspicious bird "Phoenix," the brewery aims to create unique sake by making full use of the abundant nature and brewery techniques. Started exporting overseas in 2016; as of 2022, about 15% of all shipments were exported overseas.

nanbuzin I forgot to put it on the label so I don't remember the taste. Beautiful color on the label. The area in northern Iwate Prefecture where the brewery is located was once the "Nanbu domain," and the then chief of the Ninohe tax office and the chairman of Nanbu Bijin named the sake "Nanbu Bijin" after the place name Nanbu and the image of clean and beautiful sake quality based on their desire to produce a clean and beautiful sake.

Wansaku no hanana Hinomaru (variety of rice) Fruity taste like a little matured. Delicious. From the Akita flower of witch hazel, which also carries the meaning of bringing good luck for a bountiful harvest. The brewery's name "Hinomaru" is derived from the "Hinomaru fan crest" of the Akita feudal lord Satake, whose crest was a moon circle on a five-pronged fan.

Romantic Hanazumi A bitter citrusy, modern food wine. I think Romain has a lot of polarized foil labels for some reason. It is because of the phrase "sake brewing is romantic" and the character "Ichi-go," which marks the number of brewing, which can be read as "Hitoroman" (one romance). In addition to the normal three-stage brewing process, all of the brewing is done in a four-stage process using glutinous rice, which is the fourth stage of brewing.

suigay (golf) Aromatic, moderate, sharp and dry. Modern food sake. The label is easy to recognize. It is named after Yodo Yamauchi, a lord of the Tosa domain at the end of the Edo period, whose family name was "Geikai Isuikou" (鯨海酔侯). The name "Geikaiseikou" means "drunk lord of the sea with whales," and comes from the fact that Yodo Yamauchi, a lover of sake, called himself such.

Wakaevis, Claudie. Slightly niggly and slightly effervescent, 15° sweet and modern. Easy to drink. Rumune. I thought the label popped and matched the content. Aono comes from the fact that it was brewed in a "blue tank" in the Ao district of Iga City. The name "Aono" is derived from a haiku by Matsuo Basho, a native of Iga: "Let a man take his age, but always be a young Ebisu. There are many interesting interpretations of the haiku. Personally, I prefer the theory that "Ebisu-sama makes us take a year off every New Year, so Ebisu-sama is always young. Hatsu Ebisu, a local custom to celebrate the New Year by wearing Ebisu-sama masks, and Hirukoya, a sake brewery across the street from the former inn business, asked to exchange their businesses. The business is complex, including Waka Ebisu, since the owner is now younger.

Eikouji Yaminari Shusui It was delicious with an assertive taste typical of Eikoufuji. Pineapple Eikoufuji's label and name have a high school boy feel, and this time too, the official responded by saying the name looks like Manjikai on social media. The name comes from the fact that the character for "glory" was added to the original sake name "Fuji" to express the wish for prosperity. It is also said that the symmetrical character "Eiko Fuji" represents the brewery's philosophy of "sake brewing with no two sides of the same coin.

Citiken Shoshu When I opened it and drank it, it had a lemon and melon feel to it, and when I drank it, it was definitely orange and a little spicy. Mukaihide is a limited edition of the brewery. It is named after the seven wise men. It dates back to a pair of ranma (columns) of "Seven Wise Men of the Bamboo Grove" presented by Surugamori Naito of the Takato clan at the time of the founding of the brewery. These ranma still remain in the main house of the Kitahara family, which was designated as "Gyozaisho" when the Meiji Emperor stayed there, and are the cultural asset from which the sake's name "Shichiken" was derived.

Japanese sparrowhawk (Accipiter gularis) Modern construction and easy to drink. First time I knew about it. With the local blessing of Nagara River subsoil water from Gifu Prefecture, this brewery has a slightly different style of brewing, brewing year-round in its own well in a unique location in the basement of a building in front of the station. The Nagara River's subsoil water is used to brew sake as "the spring of pride in Japan.

Yoshida Grau Ishikawa Mon. Light, slightly effervescent, just a little habitual and tasty. The swallow on the label is a symbol of happiness that returns every year to the entrance of the brewery. The "u" is a combination of the word "you" and the word "gentle". The brand "Yoshidagura u" is a series launched in 2021. Modern Yamahai and Terroir.

Shoutoku era (1711.4.25-1716.6.22) Purchased because it was said to be limited to Kyoto station. From one of the Zen words, "FUKU-i de Toku-sho" (to invite virtue with good fortune). The brewery was founded in 1645 in Rakuchu, Kyoto, and later moved to Fushimi. We had it on the Shinkansen. It was fun.

Katano cherry Eurya japonica (species of evergreen related to sakaki) It tasted heavy and robust with Yamahai. The name comes from Katano, the old name of the area where the Amano River, the place of origin of the Japanese Tanabata legend, is located nearby and was also a famous cherry blossom viewing spot during the Heian period (794-1185). I had it for lunch at Sushi Juraku in Kitashinchi when I visited Osaka.

Kid Haywa. I didn't put it up. Modern construction. Fruity and delicious. Since I visited Osaka Expo, I went to Heiwa Doburoku Namba Brewery in the basement of Osaka Takashimaya with a wish for peace. Freshly made doburoku and kiddies from the server are available. A coined word combining "Kii-no-kuni," the old name of Wakayama, and "land (do). Agara is a Wakayama dialect word for us. During the chaotic postwar period, sake brewing had to be suspended, but Yasumasa Yamamoto, the second generation brewer, made a petition speech to the Diet and received permission to resume the brewery. The desire at this time to "brew sake in peaceful times" was the origin of the brewery's name, "Heiwa Shuzo" ("Peace Brewery").

Kinoene Yakou Iinuma There was a tasting at Kawachiya in Hongo and it was delicious, so I purchased Yakou and Hekihoshi. I quite like the label, although it doesn't match the taste. If I had to say something, I would say that the green color is melon-like. The Yagyo is a fire-brewed version of the Byakuya, with a sake level of -8, low acidity, fruity, a little matured, with a firm sweetness and little bitterness. It has a slight gaseous taste. It seems to go well with strong flavored dishes. It has a candy-like pure dew or mead feeling. Good for sake beginners.
