Sixth bottle of Shinsei-kai. Yonotori 2019, manufactured in January and shipped in February. Great balance of acidity and sweetness as usual when opening the bottle. Great for dessert. After opening the bottle, it gets sweeter and sweeter, an unusual change. The aftertaste doesn't get very complex, so it's not to everyone's taste.

This is the fifth bottle of Shinsei-kai. No.6 S-type.
The aroma is a little milder than the Kamikuni Yuyu-type, and the aftertaste is mainly sweet. It deteriorates quickly and is not complex. The fruity taste and the acidity of No.6 yeast are wonderful.

The 4th bottle of Shinsei-kai No.6 Kamikuni Ryoyu Type
I opened a bottle of No.6 S-type at the same time. When I opened the bottle, there was not much difference and I wondered if it was worth the price. Specifically in the mouthfeel, I felt that there was little to no acidity. On the other hand, at this point, the complexity of the aroma and aftertaste was better here, but was it that much better? I thought.
After opening the bottle, No. 6s don't tend to grow in flavor unless they've been aged for a long time, and they tend to lose a lot of flavor, especially after 2019. This one, however, just keeps growing and growing. It just keeps getting more complex and more interesting.
This is one of the Shinsei 10th Anniversary commemorative sakes that is playing it straight, and I think it lives up to that expectation.

The third run of the new political party. Viridian. The beauty of Misoshiki is probably its balance of complexity and sweetness, but this one is much more complex, and you can strongly feel the wooden vat and No.6 yeast of Shinsei. This is a great bottle for those who want to enjoy a little more gravity than those who like pop Shinsei.

The second run of the Shinsei-kai. Amaneko. This lot is a little less sweet and has a strong acidity and a bitter taste like grapefruit. It was a good bottle, considering the fact that the main part of this party is not a fancy taste but a type of Kamiguni ryori.

The first bottle of Shinsei-kai. Amaneko Spark. This is the best sparkling sake I've ever had, so it's hard to believe that the other sakes are so hazy (lol). The sweetness, fruitiness, and acidity make up a wonderfully balanced sparkling aftertaste, and the goodness of the white koji is on full display, making this a wonderful bottle.

Yamada Nishiki. It is high polished rice and very expensive. But it is too sweet. Kame-no-o, which we compared at the same time, is a better sake.

Takachiyo Kame-no-o. Compare with Yamada Nishiki. Last time we drank Dewa Sanzama, but Kame-no-o is more balanced with the sweetness of Takachiyo.

Miyamanishiki. Hi-ire. You can feel the sweetness of Miyamanishiki, and because it is bottled once, it has a certain degree of freshness, and is a well-balanced sake.

Sake Mirai. Junmai Daiginjo. It's been two years since I missed the timing to open it (lol). I gave up halfway and opened the bottle thinking it must be rotten, but it was wonderful, perhaps because it was freshly bottled. It's impossible.

A sake to toast with fireworks. Highly polished Yamada Nishiki rice. You can hardly feel the sweetness and it has a hard image.

Junmai Ginjo Omachi. It is still the best when it comes to sweet rice and pineapple aroma. I think it is better to keep it in the refrigerator for about half a year to remove the bitterness of the raw sake.

Firing. Aizan. Is it a brand whose impression changes greatly between raw and infused sake? It has a strong pear taste.

This is a very expensive Junmai Daiginjo Yamadanishiki. The direction is different from Aizan and Kitashizuku in the 3000 yen range, but it is a classic type like Yoshikawa Yamadanishiki.

This is the Yamadaho of the Megurume series. I feel that Manzaku no Hana is characterized by its pineapple aroma and sweetness, but in the case of Yamadaho, I get the impression that the sweetness of the aftertaste is a little more complex.

Dewa Sanda. Takachiyo is characterized by a strong sweetness, while the sake rice has a sharpness. It shows the good points of both, but it also shows how difficult it is to get the right balance.
