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🙆

ヒロ
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 ☺️
The result of UTAGE is also awesome😳I don't need to tell you about Murasaki Yatagami, but I would like to drink both Tomikunaga and Jun Daigin🌾 which is brewed with Yatagiso, the root of the Yatagami lineage 🤤.

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 👍.
Japanese>English
Rigel
A gift. Shikishima is a very light image for a revival brewery.
The top clear has a mild but dry lactic sweet aroma and taste, and the bitterness builds up and tones down nicely at the end of the bottle.
When mixed with lees, the umami and bitterness become more direct. It is like turning up the volume of music?
I'm sensitive to bitterness, so I think it's just right that it's well chilled.
Thanks Choroki 😊.

Laughing Four Seasons' kijoshu is solidly good.
Slightly musty? Slightly sweet aroma with a dead smell
Big sweet mouthfeel, but the finish is not sticky and persistent.
To be honest, I was not a fan of the bitter taste from the old Kimoto style, but I like the big sweetness of this Kijo-shu because it is just right for a mellow umami taste without too much bitterness. Especially when hi-ire.
I am sad that I can't find the perfect mellow-umami taste in many cases 😢.

Kraft salmon bought on the way home from a private stay in Yamane
The aroma is soft, rich and sweet.
The acidity is more pronounced than the one I bought before, but the aftertaste is light and easy to drink!
The previous saké was more like Niimasa, but they seem to be changing the flavor to make it more and more like the saké they want to make.
It's best when it's well chilled.
I'm looking forward to their upcoming honey sake 🍯.

I drink Enyu Junmai every year. Personally, I think it's the pinnacle of modern hiyaoroshi.
Aged beautifully, it has a certain degree of alcohol content without the alcohol spikes, but still has the sweetness and flavor of a modern sake. The matured aroma is a perfect match for everyone, yet it is easy to drink at any temperature.
If you are interested in this wine, please feel cheated and buy it. No, buy it.

Hop saké from a gift from Choroki 🙌.
I'm hoping it will be different from the flower breeze: ☺️
The aroma is fresh lactic sweetness with a hint of hops. It's really refreshing! It's really refreshing!
The slightly effervescent mouthfeel starts with a refreshing bitterness from the hops, followed by a light lactic sweetness. There is also a young muskmelon-like sweetness in the final stages.
The lingering aftertaste disappears without a trace, so it is a type of beer that can be drunk with gusto due in part to its low alcohol content.

UA Yoshida Kura.
This sake has a strong acidity among kijoshu.
It tastes better chilled than at room temperature👍.
Japanese>English
Rigel
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. ‼️
Japanese>English
Rigel
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?

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 🍶.
Japanese>English
Rigel
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).
Japanese>English
Rigel
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...
