Junmai Daiginjo from Sairai, which I bought again this year, is a little drier than last year?
But, well, good food is good food 😋.

The aroma is subdued, but the sweetness can be felt well even when the sake is cold.
The acidity is high and the fullness is good.
You can enjoy it at various temperatures.

Good evening, Rigel😄.
Hiraizumi from Akita, I'm doing my best 🎶.
Yamahai is heated sake, no doubt about it: ❣️

Good evening, T.KISO🤗.
It has a beautiful aftertaste, but the quality of the sake is firm like Yamahai!
I will drink it with hot pot 🍶.

A good mix of vanilla, lactic acid and melon, the aroma I liked when I started drinking sake.
The mouthfeel is a bit dry, but the umami can be felt.
The richness that appears in the mid-palate is not bitter and is well integrated, and the lingering umami lingers on the lower jaw with no unpleasant taste at all.
It's been a while since I've hit the jackpot.
The problem with Tsuchida is that each bottle is completely different in type, so you have to drink it to know for sure...
It is best served cold at room temperature!

Is it a special sake from Miyajima Sake Shop?
Moderately sweet apple aroma.
It is fire-aged, but has a chili-chili-style effervescence and a dark sweetness like apples and peaches. The fullness that appears in the middle part of the bottle has a lingering aftertaste that slowly fades away.
It has a strong drinking experience, so it may be served warm (⚪︎).

Finally opened a bottle of the annual Masterpiece.
When I drank it right away at 5°C, it was rather sharp and full-bodied, but as I raised the temperature range, the grape-like concentrated sweetness came out and it was very nice!
The old-fashioned Kimoto is good at room temperature and chilled.

A good one for the turtle🙆
Floral aroma, slightly effervescent mouthfeel with a mellow umami taste.
The sweetness and accent is as if it were a whole juicy peach that is assertive even when served cold, with a full body that is not unpleasant, this is already a royal Jun Dai!
The sake is so delicious that the sake's sake meter reading of +1 cannot be relied upon. I suspect the acidity is quite low, though I don't know😇.

First ash! Purchased at a liquor store I'm familiar with and opened at a pub I'm familiar with. Thank you for everything 😭
Unusually heavy sake quality for Shinmasa. The finish is light and typical of the style.
This heavy weight seems to go well with warmed sake.

Kawanakajima Genmai 😫 which suddenly became hard to get this year.
Thank you Sieg Jikon 😭
The flavor is more prominent than the aroma.
Good balance of sweetness, umami, and bitterness, good on its own or during a meal 🙆I think it can be served in any temperature range. It has a different taste from Shinshu Kamerei, which is good 🙆
Well, I don't think I can buy not only Genmai but also Jyushidai and Ryujinmaru😇

I haven't been well since September and haven't had much to drink.
It's been a long time since I've had an emishky.
The aroma is juicy green apple, which is very rare for the four seasons.
The mouthfeel is mellow and full of flavor. The sweetness is like a cross between apple and grape, with a full-bodied flavor at the end. I served it cold, but I think it is also good at room temperature.
Looking at last year's production, I would say that junmai-shu is better if you want the nama-moto style, and kijo-shu is better if you want the full-bodied, mellow, umami taste of the previous year. I prefer the latter, although the price has gone up quite a bit.

Finally opened Hitokokochi from Tozawa!
Slightly sweet aroma!
The sweetness of the grape is very intense, with a full-bodied accent and a great balance.
I think it is still very popular as it disappears in no time!
I went to the Shinshu Sake event in Tokyo the other day and it was great that there were only a moderate number of people there. I was happy to have a chance to talk with Mr. Okazaki as well.

This is a Kaze no Mori with No. 6 yeast. The rice polishing ratio has changed from what we drank before.
The freshness of Kaze no Mori has become slightly drier. There is also a richness in the aftertaste due to the low milling.
500mm is a very short time🙄.

A mansaku (a kind of mansaku that is only available at Akita Airport) given to me by my brother as a business trip souvenir.
The aroma is fresh and modern fruity.
The lightness of the mouthfeel, but with a core sweetness and umami from the rice, and the fact that it disappears cleanly without any cloying taste, is something that only jun-dai can produce.
It is best drunk cold.

Okuroku, which I bought for some reason.
The aroma is navel-like sweet and sour.
It is a modern sake with a slightly effervescent mouthfeel, with a dark sweetness like grapes, good acidity, and a good nose with no cloying taste on the finish.
The taste is modern sweet and sour, but not too light, and has a strong core derived from the sake brewing process.
What is interesting is that it has such a gorgeous taste, but it also goes well with heated sake.
Although it is a new brand, it has a very high level of perfection, and I recommend trying it if you see it👍.

The prototype.
As I thought when I drank it at Yamane, the combination of sake and honey gives it a very nice aroma off the nose.
This one has more pronounced acidity. But it also has a strong sweetness, so it is well-balanced.
I think it would be fun to master mead as well 🙌

The Supreme Kojo-zake (noble brew of sake)
Rich aroma like banana
When served cold, it has a big sweetness and a moderate acidity that makes it refreshing, but as the temperature rises, you can enjoy the full-bodied tropical sweetness.
It is a dessert wine. I think it goes well with sweets 🙄.

This is one of my top favorites in Omachi. It has a fresh aroma, a full and satisfying drinkability typical of Omachi despite its first attack, and a beautiful aftertaste that is hard to believe it is 80, making it a high quality wine 🤩.

Tomikyucho signature bottle opened: ‼️
Dry but fruity with a hint of pineapple.
It is Tomikyucho's idea of an autumn sake that goes well with a variety of dishes regardless of the temperature range.

The expensive liquor 🍶.
Aroma is slightly dry and sweet from rice
The mouthfeel is light, and gradually the umami flavor appears, making it a well-balanced sake that is good as a food sake. The finish is fleeting but beautiful, with a lingering aftertaste.
Sake that will disappear before you know it. It is also good at room temperature🙆

Hi Rigel, good evening 🌙
I'm a Mimuro maniac (self-proclaimed) but I haven't come across it yet 😭
I'm still waiting for the next one... 😭 I'd like to drink it more and more after reading your review that shows the unique feeling of high milled rice 🤗.

Hi Hiro 🌞.
The brewer seems to be very passionate about this sake👍
If you are a fanatic, you should buy and drink it at least once 🤣.

A good one from Sairai. I feel like I drink it every year.
Mild aroma and good freshness.
The effervescent sweetness is like fresh peaches and apples, and the richness at the end is delicious without being unpleasant.
The Sairai with moderate acidity and the Bunraku reborn with high acidity.
Please enjoy each to your liking.
The third one is the result of the two I was able to buy from the UTAGE gacha, which came today, as I mentioned in my tweak: ✌️
I just broke my abdomen directly 🙄.

Good evening Rigel 😃
Sairai Starry Night Vesper is so stylish ☺️

Choroki Hanpukai Series
Mori no Shitashi's PB apparently
Light but umakuchi sake. It has no bitterness and is full-bodied.
It is light when chilled, and mellow when warmed, and can be enjoyed in various ways.
It is very rare to find such a beautiful sake at 50 👍.
