It's been a long time since I've had a laugh. I had bought it, but I drank the others first, so... The aroma is mellow and sweet, just as it should be. From the start, the sake has a thick and impactful flavor. However, thanks to the soft and smooth quality of the water, it is balanced and easy to drink. It starts with honeyed apples, changes to a white grape-like flavor, and finally disappears gradually with bitterness... The bitterness accumulates, so it is best to drink it at room temperature, not too cold. I wonder if there will be another drink like Vanilla Ensanse 🤨.

Jun Dai in Aizan. I think it is limited to three stores. Fruity aroma and taste. Juicy sweetness comes through. A little full-bodied at the end. The depth has expanded with time in the sun. ‼️

Personally, I think it's the standard and ideal for aged sake. To be honest, I think that the aroma of maturity with a hint of karebon and caramelization is not for everyone! The label says it is dry, but it is not light. However, there are no off-flavors and no cloying taste, and the sake goes down well. Recommended for simmered dishes and nabe (hot pot) in the coming season, or seriously, it will fly when heated! I've been getting swept up in all the fruity and modern stuff again lately (which is fine), so I'm posting this as the antithesis of that. I've been thinking about the price of a Jungin-standard Yongo bottle, but it's a three-digit price. It's crazy.

Good evening, Mr. Rigel. I have recently become interested in this type of alcohol 🤔Is it better to drink it at room temperature?
Japanese>English
Rigel
Hello bouken 😃. I think if you gradually warm it up from room temperature, it will reach the temperature you like. Warming it up is also a good idea👍

Aburacho's sake for the sake competition. I was curious about it so I bought it even though it was expensive ＼＼＼╦٩٩³('ω')و //／／／ The aroma is of acidic yogurt and strawberry with a strong acidity like red hot peas. It also has a slight mintiness to it. The water quality is sticky, probably due to the hardness of the water. The first sip has a strong lemon flavor with a lively effervescence. The acidity does not linger and there are no unpleasant flavors. The second sip is sweet. It is light and herbal rather than fruity. It leaves a slight richness on the tip of the tongue. Unlike Kaze no Mori, this sake has a different acidity than Sengoku Shinmasa. To be honest, it may not be suitable for the sake competition, but I like the way the brewery dares to produce something like this 👍.

Brewing 2022Brewing 2024Manufactured, flat polished rice is 50, so it is almost equivalent to an even more highly polished sake. The taste is clean and dry, typical of jun Dai. Rice-derived sweetness and a hint of bitterness. In terms of nuance, it is similar to Houraisen's Kuusei. It is more medium-bodied than that. It can be enjoyed on its own, but it is a fun sake to drink during a meal.

hanpukai no yatsu Mild aroma and grape-like sweetness The mouthfeel is kyoho, gentle and robust, with a heavy sake quality. Good cohesion with slight acidity at the end. It's nice because I let it sit for a bit after opening. It is a leisurely stand-alone drink 🍶.

Sunburst, which can be liked or disliked due to its acidity. The aroma is a gorgeous fragrant acid citrus. It is a "Dochakuso" lemon. The mouthfeel is creamy and sweet at first, with a lively acidity in the mid-palate. The final part of the bottle is very cool and leaves a pleasant aftertaste. I'm not a big fan of acidity, but I personally like it a lot. It seems to be effective when you have a cold, since it gets stuck in your throat (white eyes).

The one that Ane-san gave me. It seems to be natural yeast? I trust Tamagawa, so I kept it in a cool, dark place. The color is lemon gold. The aroma is lactic acid and caramelized old sake-like. There is no old aroma at all. The mouthfeel is very heavy and thick with a sweetness that makes you think it is a liqueur. However, there is nothing unnatural about it, and it soaks into the body in a straightforward manner. The caramel sweetness and bitterness, which is the entrance to old wine, gradually spreads. However, there are no off-flavors and it has a high degree of perfection: heavy yet beautiful. It is delicious cold, but it is also good warmed.

Previously, Du Lai was a dry type The aroma is mildly sweet with a hint of cinnamon. It has a firm fizziness, and the taste has a big sweet citrus like navel orange and a mild creamy sweetness, like apple pie. The Jungin standard is completely free of bitterness and miscellaneous flavors, a benefit of ice-temperature production, perhaps? Very tasty at room temperature. I think it's the top two newcomers of the last two years, along with Yamazan...

I have the impression that they are very good at storing things in the snow. The alu and acidity are angular and mellow, but the flavor is well defined and the lemon and lactic acidity are a good match👍. I think it's the best of the Shinshu hanpukai so far, but it's an optional one.

Not Mr. Nakanori, but apparently Mr. Nakanori. The aroma is mellow, like a cross between grapes and yogurt. There is some bitterness in the mid-palate, but it has a good pull, so it is easy to drink. Good with food.

I opened the bottle and let it sit for a while, so I'll drink it properly to see if the balance has improved. Aroma of tropical fruits with a hint of perfume. A little bit of graininess, like a recent Hana-yosu. However, although it has a lot of sweetness, the mouthfeel is light and free of any unpleasant taste, probably due to the high rice polishing. It is easy to drink with a lingering aftertaste that softly disappears and a slight bitterness that does not cause stress. I think it is better to leave the bottle open for a while. I will enjoy to find out. The color of the label was the same as Tojo Yamadanishiki of Jikin, so I put them side by side.

I thought I missed it this year, but then I won it in one of the subsequent drawings and got it 🎯. The scent is mild and slightly floral It has a deep sweet taste with a slight bitterness, and as the temperature rises from cold to hot, the deep sweetness naturally permeates the body and is very pleasant. I think it is my favorite Jungin-type sake.

pear-loving person The aroma is mild Japanese pear. I mean, I'm cooking spare ribs right now, so I don't know how strong that is. ‼️🤣 It tastes like a soft but firm Japanese pear, followed by a slight sourness. It is just like drinking Kosui Pear. I regret that I only bought one bottle because it's so good 😇

It should be the flagship of Kuheiji 🙄. The aroma is mild and grape-like, pulled by the image of Kuheiji. The bubbles are firm and refreshing, but with a delicious sweetness, and the fleeting disappearance at the end is pleasant 👍. I think it would be better to leave it a little longer 🤲.

It's senkoku😳 The aroma is lactobacillus like a sake yeast yeast yeast, with a hint of woody aroma and a little bit of Shinmasa. It is easy to drink, though more on the acidic side, with a hint of sweetness and graininess. It may be the closest to champagne among sparkling sake. Of course, it goes well with meat dishes due to the contrast of shades, but it may also be good with light dishes such as carpaccio 😘.

I think this is probably the first organic Yamada Nishiki from Jikin 🤔. The aroma is rounded and has a strawberry-like sweetness, probably because it's been sitting for 2 days. The mouthfeel has become more cohesive, and it's easier to drink without the stinginess and cloying taste that bothers me when I open my mouth. It is easy to drink.
