We received a bottle of Chiebijin Nouveau Nama Sake. The aroma was fruity, like muscat, and drifted into the glass. Mmmm, nice aroma ❤. In the mouth, a fruity sweetness with a hint of sourness fills the mouth, and the astringency that comes out in the latter half leaves a long aftertaste. Mmmm, delicious! There was not much "gasiness" as stated on the back label, but at 70% rice polishing ratio, this dark umami and aroma are quite good 👌. Please enjoy it chilled to the perfect temperature 😊😊.

Suddenly I had a craving for sashimi and sushi, so I opened a bottle of this! I opened the bottle. I had a bottle of Nabeshima Junmai Ginjo Orange Label Gohyakumangoku Nama Sake. The nose has a fresh ginjo aroma, which is typical of nama-shu, and it smells very gorgeous 👍. In the mouth, a moderate sweetness spreads, with a slight acidity and a slight effervescence. It is still delicious! The aroma, taste, and lingering aftertaste are well integrated, and it goes well with both sashimi and sushi 😊. As expected of Nabe-sama~❤It was worth the 1 hour one-way trip to go buy it lol. This time of year, there's a lot of my favorite sake on tap, so my fridge is in serious trouble 🌀

Good evening, enoshima-san! I haven't had Nabe-sama's Gohyakumangoku yet, but it looks delicious 🤤. And the sashimi and sushi you have prepared looks too gorgeous and delicious 🤤! Sashimi & sushi & nabe-sama are the best 😋.

Good morning, ma-ki 😊. Nabeshima is a deliciously sweet sake, but not too sweet 🎵I understand you haven't tried the orange label yet, but it's delicious, so if you find it, please give it a try 👍.

We received a bottle of Sakasui no Dawn Junmai Daiginjo. The nose has a ginjo aroma of sweetness, like that of apples with honey. In the mouth, the sweetness rushes into the mouth, and while it is juicy and deliciously sweet, it finishes with a tangy, slightly effervescent feeling that is typical of new brews. It is still delicious! As one would expect from a daiginjo, it is full of umami and has no cloying taste. I have had this sake every year, and it is always delicious. I almost finished the bottle before I realized how quickly I was drinking it with locally grown fresh shirasu (lol).

I buy Houou Mita Hatsushibori every year! I got it safely this year too👍. I got a bottle of Hououomida Hatsushibori Unrefined Junmai Ginjo-shu Nama-shu. What is that? This year's Hatsushibori has some lees at the bottom of the bottle. When I turned it upside down lightly, it became like a light nigorigo in no time at all! The standing aroma is a fruity, muscat-like ginjo aroma that is typical of Hououmida. Up to this point, it is the usual first Shibori 😊. In the mouth, a thick sweetness fills the palate, and then it quickly breaks off with the bitterness that appears towards the end of the bottle. Oh, this is delicious! Mmmm, deliciously sweet and juicy❤ I have the impression that the sweetness is less intense than last year's, but the fragrance is stronger. This may be the difference between the lots, but I really enjoy the roughness of new sake 👍👍. I really appreciate the effort of the brewery to release a new jungin sake in October with this high quality 🎉I will definitely drink it again next year ✌.

We received a bottle of Koei Kiku Ikubou Unfiltered Nama Sake. The aroma is sweet with a hint of sourness. Well, this is one of my favorites ❤. In the mouth, it has a strong sweetness and acidity, with a slight bubbly taste, so it is refreshing. There is also a slight lactic acidity in the sweetness 😊. Today the Dodgers won the World Series for the second straight year ⚾ Otani-san, of course, but also Yamamoto-san and Sasaki-san did a great job! I'm so proud of them😊and I'm so happy for the Dodgers to win the WS for the second year in a row🍶.

I was so shocked when I drank it before that I immediately bought an additional bottle, but I put it away... lol! I had a bottle of Hououmida FLY HIGH 2nd - Mikumari - Junmai Daiginjo-shu, Nama-shu. Aroma, delicious sweetness, and a strong shwashiness ❗❗ Well, it is still delicious 😊😊. It is sweet but has a strong "shwashuwa" feeling, so you can drink it quickly and easily without hesitation. Personally, I think it might be the best one I've had this year👍 I hope to meet you again next year 🙏.

In the mouth, the pineapple fruity and rich sweetness fills the mouth, with a tangy, slightly effervescent aftertaste that finishes with a zingy finish. This is delicious! It is truly fruity, sweet, and juicy❤. This is the taste of "Takachiyo" 👍. In terms of pineapple flavor, it rivals Kameizumi Cell 24 😊. I'm glad I got a bottle of this 🎵 lol

We received a bottle of Collage Junmai-shu (Junmai-shu, one time hi-iru). The aroma is like a young melon. The aroma is mild, but it smells like a young melon. Mmmm, delicious! Overall, it is a medium-bodied sake with umami, but the dryness at the end makes it definitely suited for a mid-meal drink 😊. Today's entrée was yellowtail sashimi and saikyo-yaki harasu etc. It wraps up the fat of the fish just right and drains it away. Hmmm, too much match lol 👍

I received Mimuro Sugi Junmai Ginjo Yamadanishiki. The aroma is mild and fruity like grapes, with a hint of acidity. In the mouth, the refreshing sweetness and umami of the rice rush in, and the fruity melon-like taste and acidity that appears in the middle of the bottle cut through quickly. This is delicious! It is not sweet, but has a strong rice flavor! But the aftertaste is so refreshing, it's an amazing balance! Today's entrée was grilled turban shells in a pot😊😊😊😊😊😊. Ate and sake, good bearing 👍

I had a bit of fun today, so here's a little something for that ✌. We had the Hakkaiyama Junmai Daiginjo. The aroma on the nose is gentle, but it has a young melon-like ginjo aroma 😊. On the palate, it has a hint of sweetness, but then it is crisp and dry! Yes, delicious! It is truly light and dry! It goes well with sushi 😊😊😊I sometimes want to drink dry sake, but Hakkaisan is really delicious 😊.

I saw Yamadaho and Aizan by Saku lined up at a liquor store near my office, so I had to buy them as a set, lol. I drank the Yamadaho the other day, so I'll open the Aizan today 👍. I had the Saku Aizan 2025 Junmai Ginjo. The nose is full of sweet ginjo aroma. In the mouth, it has a soft, elegant sweetness and a firm richness, with a lingering sweetness and bitterness that lingers on the tongue while bitterness emerges toward the end. It is still delicious! The sweetness was within the expected range, but it was unexpected that there was more umami than expected and the bitterness was stronger at the end! It was well put together and there was nothing unpleasant about it. Today's entrée was sashimi, and the bitterness at the end was a nice match 👍.

In the mouth, it has a strong umami and sweetness that pushes in quickly, and the acidity and astringency felt in the last half of the bottle gives the impression of a clean break. It's delicious! As expected of Saku! The balance of umami sweetness and acidity is superb ❤. It is also fruity, so it can be enjoyed on its own or as a mealtime drink 😊👍.

Kubota Junmai Daiginjo was served. The nose has a fruity aroma like muscat. On the palate, the umami and sweetness are darker than the usual Kubota, but the smoothness of the mouthfeel allows it to cut through easily. It is really delicious! Just as the label on the back says, modern and sharp! It was a very hot day in the Kanto region today, and it was really hot, but I chose Kubota and it was a great decision! Today's entrée was local fresh shirasu and tuna medium fatty tuna 🐟 Kubota's sharpness is a perfect match~🎵.

It was a hot and humid day, so I'm opening another bottle of summer sake 😊. We had a bottle of Miyakanbai Junmai Ginjoshu Mr. Summer Time. The aroma is like muscat, and the glass is filled with the scent of ginjo. A nice aroma. In the mouth, you can taste the moderate sweetness and umami of the rice, and it finishes with a slight acidity that comes out towards the end. This is delicious! It has a more mature taste overall than the Miyakanume we had previously, while still retaining the umami sweetness, but this is perfect for a hot and humid day 🎵. It also went well with sashimi and sushi ✌. It is a summer sake for a hot day after all!

It was hot and humid today, and I wanted something refreshing to drink, so I decided on Tenmei's summer sake 🎵. I had Tenmei Sarasara Junmai Uchijobanabi. The nose is grapey with a hint of sourness. In the mouth, it has a fruity grape-like aroma, a beautiful sweetness, and a strong acidity that fills the mouth, and finishes with a slight astringency and acidity. It is delicious! The alcohol content is low at 11.5 degrees and the acidity makes it easy to drink👍. Today's entrée is sashimi of bonito and abalone 🐟🐚. I can't stop now 👍👍👍

I was curious about this brewery after reading your review on Sake no Wa, and when I found it at a liquor store on my way out, I bought it immediately 🎵. The nose is a grape-like ginjo aroma with a hint of sourness. In the mouth, the fruity sweetness and strong acidity rush in, and the slight tingle of bubbles and a slight astringency cut through the taste. It is delicious! It's the recently trendy acidic type, and it's so refreshing 😊. I think it's really good to drink on a hot and humid day like today! Today's entrée was sea bream and yellowtail simmered with arabesque 🐟It goes perfectly with the cocky, sweet simmered fish 👍.
