I've almost never had a standard local sake from Niigata. This is my first time to drink it properly. Is it still light and dry? When I poured it into a tin cup with little aroma, I was surprised to find a gorgeous aroma. I was surprised that it has an aroma, but since it is a capsule type and the aroma is quite strong, my brain is confused at this point. I thought it was yeast No. 18. Then, when I sipped it, I was even more confused by its strong flavor! If you think about it, it is 17.5 degrees Celsius, so it is not just a gorgeous aroma as the specs say. It is full-bodied and quite mellow. I checked it out and it recommends drinking it on the rocks or in the freezer, chilled to the point where it doesn't freeze. It is indeed delicious at this level! Right after opening it, it is as good as premium sake. It is interesting how it becomes a completely different sake after that. I might want to drink it if it were directly pumped... After the change, it became an interesting sake with a rich dry taste. Personally, I think it is good to drink it with added water. On the third day, it becomes gorgeous again...all the flavors are delicious! I was very impressed with this bottle, coupled with the easy-to-understand instructions on how to drink it!

This is the first classic after the return to Edo. It seems that Zero is a draft sake and Ichi Shiki is a hi-iru sake. I couldn't buy the Zero because it was sold out immediately, so I waited patiently for the release of the classic Ichi Shiki and now I have it. ...... is very bubbly! This is hi-iru, right? It's a raw sake, right? LOL! ...... It has a strong freshness! This is Hi-ire, right? It's a raw sake, right? LOL! At this point, I was convinced that it was a winner! Even though it looks so fresh, it has a calmness and mellowness to it, and there are no corners on the palate. This sweet and sourness, as if you bit into a whole fruit...this is it...this is what Sengoku was all about! Really easy to understand and meekly delicious! LOL! I had a premonition of this when I drank the first modern tank after the return to Edo, but this is an evolution beyond my imagination. It is clearer and sharper than the first time I drank Sengoku around 2015, but it seems to bring back the shock and excitement of that time. And I don't know why, but I don't get drunk at all, so I end up drinking more than usual. Is there alcohol in it? LOL! I think this is the "classic" Sengkyo, which is exactly what I was looking for in Sengkyo, but with the added technology of today. I am very happy and impressed!

I had an image that Aizan somehow goes well with cappuccinos and sweet sake, but this sake, contrary to that image, is quite dry and has a great sharpness! It is super dry! And the bitterness is strong within the range of elegance! And the bitterness is as strong as it is elegant! LOL! As the temperature rises a little, the unique flavor of this sake becomes apparent... This is very tasty! If you drink it in a wine glass or tin, I think the dryness and vigor of the sake will stand out too much, so I personally recommend drinking it in an inokuchi (cup) or ceramic cup. The crispness of the outline is more rounded. It is also good to drink it warm. In fact, it shows its potential more when drunk warm. The spiciness is softened and the umami gently expands. The slight rummy taste is still present, and the balance is at its peak. I would definitely pair this with Chinese food! After all, it is Szechuan bean curd, isn't it? I can't get enough of it!

It has been a long time since my last visit to Shinshu Kamerei. It has been about one year. I have been saving it carefully, so I don't know when it was produced even if I look at the label on the back of the bottle. However, I bought two bottles the year before last and never drank them, so I think it was made in 2023... I don't remember at all... lol The aroma is just a gentle pineapple and apple-like aroma. It seemed a little sharp right after taking it out of the fridge, but after 5 minutes, the temperature rose a little and it became milder on the palate at once. It's so good! I am often troubled by the capsule aroma, but I can drink it with no worries when it has such a gentle aroma. What is surprising is that even though the lot was made 2 to 3 years ago, it has not lost its freshness. I thought it would be more matured and extremely calm, but I was surprised by its freshness, which was different from my imagination! Among Shinshu Kamerei, Yamae-Nishiki is unique in that its standing aroma is not too gorgeous, and its taste has a strong astringent and bitter flavor. That is why only this one seems different compared to the others. However, by the third day, it has a popular aroma that is typical of premium sake.

Purchased on 2025.04.30 I'm having a hard time finding Zanso Hourai's standard dry Junmai, when is it released every year? Aside from that, I was finally able to buy Mochizuki Shoten PB! It is probably not very sweet by design to begin with. But the umami is quite robust, and although it is very drinkable, combined with the alcohol, it is easy to drink at a light 13 degrees Celsius. It is between medium and dry, and its acidity makes it even fruity, so it has a white wine-like flavor. Among the recent wines I have had, Takezumi's tank-kuchi naojume is very similar! The other two I have had so far are the 2022 Matsunotoshi Omachi Unfiltered Unrefined Nama-shu and the 2022 Shoryu Horai Kimoto Omachi Tank-guchi Naojime, which also seems to be very similar. Banana, melon, rummy aroma, strong umami and acidity, weak sweetness and standing aroma...I like this kind of sake...in the end! LOL! I don't remember much because I drank it all up so fast and after finishing it, I regret why I didn't warm it up... It must have been delicious because it's not a glamorous umami type sake... I'll save it for the next time I drink it...! I will save it for the next time I drink it!

Purchased on 2025.04.30 I have a friend who got into sake last year, and we decided to go shopping for premium sake with him, but neither of us is only interested in that, and we both wanted to buy other sake as well, so we decided to introduce each other's sake recommendations. Here is one of them. It has a gorgeous tropical aroma, as recommended by my friend who loves hana-yori. Surprisingly, it also has an alcoholic aroma, so it seems to be tasty and drinkable! It has a freshness that may or may not come with a slight sizzle. It has a cider-like flavor, which may be due to the characteristics of the alcohol. It also has a pineapple cider-like flavor due to the capoechi-style ginjo aroma that everyone loves. At first impression, it was a typical good pineapple type sake, but once I discovered the cider taste, the saké went on and on and on and on. Sake like this tends to peak at the beginning, but I was surprised at how the flavor increased! So this was a Gassan brewery to begin with! I had avoided drinking sake since I drank a classic hi-iru sake when I first started drinking sake, but as expected from a famous brewery, it was delicious!

I have been interested in this brand for a long time, but never had a chance to drink it. I was also interested in the Good Times series because of the cute girl on the label, but I missed out on it in the winter and was finally able to buy it as a spring sake! The taste is just as cute as the cute label, and the sweetness, flavor, and acidity are well balanced in this spring sake. I have an image of spring sake as being half-baked and relatively undrinkable, but lately I've been really liking it. I had the impression that it was fresh and people who like it would like it, but at worst, the taste was still a bit rough. But by the third day, it all comes together and is super tasty! The peach aroma and the sweet and sour taste are easy to understand, and the gentle mouthfeel on the third day is also very good, as if it represents the fruity spring weather. The taste from the third day onward, which was quite different from the first two days, was delicious and surprising in a good way! I thought it went well with the lively and seasonal flavor of spring cabbage and early summer vegetables such as okra. It was not bad with hamburger steak, but I think it would be better with roast beef.

I have been hooked on Yamagata Masamune since last year. I am aware that the brewery brews sake that has a good balance between classical and modern flavors, and also has a quality and robustness to it when the aroma is gorgeous. The aroma of the same sake changes depending on how it is pressed, and of the two methods, "tateoshi" (wooden tank or tub pressing) and "yokoshoshi" (automatic pressing machine like a yabuta), the latter is shown here. Is it a vinegar-iso type with a hint of banana or melon and magic ink? When you drink it, it is like a rumney...well-balanced! You would think that a balanced sake would generally be a dry sake, but it is more of a umami type sake. But it also has a gorgeous flavor with its umami acidity, aroma, and gasiness, and while you might think it has a strong sweetness, everything is in moderation, so it is not excessive. That is why it has a good balance! It is interesting that the aroma gradually changes to juicy and fruity rather than the impression you get immediately after drinking it. This is a model of a delicious sake that I feel anyone would like. There is no need to be particular about what you eat, it goes with everything. Sorry for the mess, but even though it was May, I tried it with kimchi nabe, and it went perfectly with it! Even if you include Jyushiyo, it is my favorite brand of Yamagata sake.

Kangiku is a sake brewery where all the sakes are seasonal and limited edition. That's why I don't know which one to drink lol. I bought it when I happened to see it introduced on a YouTube channel as a recommendation for spring sake. The aroma is rumney and apple...but it's not a cider either. It is a very popular fruity type with an additional pineapple aroma when you include it. Despite its gorgeous aroma, it is surprisingly dry and smooth on the palate. I personally prefer this one because it is drier than you would expect from just the supernatant... lol... When mixed with the tailings, the sweetness and umami come out and become well-balanced. This is the original form... This one seems to be more popular than the supernatant only. Personally, I think it is best to finish it as soon as possible. 3 days is not bad, but the best condition for this sake to be at its best is 2 days. After that, I felt it was sweeter and had more of a cloying taste, so I guess many people would rather drink it that way. In general, it was very tasty! Kangiku is always great, no matter when I drink it...

Take-no-i Stargazer is here again this year! It looks like a summery looking sake, but its release is in February. I see, it's a winter stargazer. I feel a little sorry for it, but I will enjoy it again this year without worrying too much about it (laugh). The aroma is elegant, with an acidity reminiscent of citrus, which is characteristic of No. 7 yeast. When you taste it in the mouth, it is very fresh and beautiful, with a sake quality that complements meals. The freshness and clear transparency will inevitably roll off your tongue. It is not a dry and light sake, but rather a sake that can be enjoyed on its own, with the umami flavor disappearing and reappearing with the acidity, rather than expanding. The acidity is felt and ends slowly with a firm bitterness, which, combined with the aroma, gives it a lime-like impression. Hitogokochi sake is not too strong, so it may be my personal favorite sake rice. Rather than a starry sky like a meteor shower, it is more like a night sky that can be seen in a dark place, such as in the mountains of Yamanashi without lights on an ordinary day. It is not flashy, but if you watch it carefully, you will have a long-lasting afterglow, similar to the starry sky. It was delicious again this year!

AKABU純米 NEW BORN純米生酒

I don't drink this brand very often, though, as well as Kangiku. I guess it's because I am a natural born evil person and they sell out so fast. I found it still on the shelf in April at a liquor store that probably had a tremendous amount in stock, so I made my NEW BORN debut, even though it's too late. I don't know why, but it was very similar to Amami on the first day! I guess it's because of the good flavor of koji. I love this kind of thing! The banana aroma and the strength typical of nama-shu...you would think it is a powerful and strong sake, but I have the impression that it is well-balanced among nama-shu, or more coherent than I imagined. The first mouthful is very fresh and clear, but the flow of the taste is easy to understand: gentle sweetness, acidity, and umami, followed by another strong sweetness, and then a slight bitterness that disappears. I am not sure if this strong sweetness is lost by other flavors on the way, or if it really appeared at the right time, but it is delicious anyway. Considering it is a new junmai sake, it is tremendously easy to drink. I prefer it to SNOW EXTRA.

It's been a while since I've had Kawatsuru, but last time it was Olive LIGHT and this time it was Active Nigori. It was recommended on a certain sake YouTube channel as being very tasty, and I knew it was available at my favorite restaurant, so I was curious to buy it! It's too foamy, lol. When can I drink it again? It has been a long time since I have had such strong activity, and it took me a long time to open the bottle! It took me a long time to open the bottle, but I finished it in no time at all... I know it's low in alcohol, but I had to say goodbye in 2 days lol. As always, drinks that are finished in an instant tend not to get many words in a review. Because I drink it up before I can think of anything else. In the video, it was commented that it was similar to Shinsei's Ame Frog, which is understandable, as it has a light, sweet and sour taste. It is very easy to understand and delicious, so I think almost anyone can enjoy it. What is surprising is that the 9% alcohol content is so drinkable. The niggles and bubbles may have contributed to the taste, but 12% is much more tasteless. Like Sanuki Kuraudai, Kawatsuru is a genius when it comes to making low-alcohol sake!

I think last year we received a mid-year pick, but this year we will start with this one, which does not have a special title. The moment I took a sip...it was delicious! It is banana-like but not harsh! It's fresh and beautiful, yet has a great alcoholic and drinking experience. You can tell from one sip that it's great! It's interesting that the combination of acidity and banana notes, which might not seem to go well together, tastes so great when made into sake. Maybe it is because it has a muscat or grape-like flavor, lol! It seems to go well with something crispy rather than a heavy dish. I tried it with tuna and yam rice and thought it wasn't bad. If it were meat, I think it would go well with red meat. I would also like to try cream cheese and crackers with raisins. I think it would go really well with it! I think this sake is a masterpiece with strong characters such as Kaze no Mori x No.6 yeast x Bodai yeast x White malted rice, and you can enjoy the combination of freshness and crispness that will make you feel like your brain is going to be bugged.

This is the first Tazake NEW YEAR bottle since 2021. I wondered if it was really sold since I haven't seen it anywhere since then, but I found it! I was going to bring it to my parents' house as a New Year's greeting, but my sister wanted to drink it and Shinmasa took her place, so I couldn't find a chance to drink it at all... I don't know about you, but I brought it to drink after work with people at my office to thank my junior staff for their hard work! (1) The junior who loves rice wine -> rice wine is the best after all! 2) My senior who loves sake so much that he wants to make his own coffee shochu (coffee shochu) - it has just the right amount of sake flavor and is very tasty! (3) My junior who usually doesn't drink sake: "Oh, this is so good! (3) My junior who doesn't usually drink sake: "Oh, this is really delicious! It has a hint of apple like capsicum, but without being overpowering, and even a vinegar lover like myself can be satisfied with its excellent performance. It is clearly better than the 2021! It does not have a sour taste, but the sweetness is pleasantly mellow and easy to drink. It has a somewhat rummy atmosphere, which, combined with the good aroma, makes it a gem that anyone can drink. We drank it leisurely, but everyone liked it so much that they finished it in 30 minutes. It was good, good, good!

This is actually the second time I've had this, and probably the first time I drank Kaze no Mori, before I started Sake no Wa. At the time, I picked it up because I wanted to drink something different. This time, it was recommended to me by the manager and the temptation of Kijoshu and Bodeshige made it a member of my fridge. It comes with a sticker that turns black to pink when the temperature rises above 35℃. As the name suggests, it is recommended to drink it at a higher temperature than usual. The aroma is classical, similar to that of Shinkame, with a hint of acidity. First, it was served cold...it is delicious enough as it is! The last time I drank it, it must not have tasted this good...it has definitely evolved! Even if you warm it up, it tastes along the same lines. It's like sweet and sour fruit, but moist. Just a slight rummy nuance. If it were not for this acidity, it would be a completely different sake. In that sense, it is a very interesting sake in that you can enjoy it as if it were a different kind of sake from the very short time you don't feel the acidity right after you drink it to the raging acidity, and the classical aroma and taste change at once due to the intense acidity! I like Bodai yeast yeast - I think I'll buy Takacho next time! I was very impressed!

I had only purchased Koshu Umebayashi a couple of times at a sake brewery's direct sales outlet, but I never expected to see it at Koyama Shoten, a sacred place for Japanese sake. I couldn't believe my eyes and looked twice. And I was told that it was from Koyama Shoten PB, so how is that possible? I was even more confused. Sato Shuzo also produces another brand called Nakadaya, but I have yet to try it. I have never had a sake from Sato Sake Brewery, let alone a straight kumi, and my only impression was of Koshu Umebayashi, but I was aware that it was a brewery that made a very classic food sake. I took a sip without paying attention to the aroma, and at that moment, I felt a strong impact similar to a sense of deja vu: "I know this aroma. This is like...Kameizumi cel24? Or is it a hana-yosu? Yes. It is a tremendous pineapple aroma. Both the standing aroma and the hint of pineapple! I happened to get two bottles of Hana-yosu recently, but I'm fine with this one. It's so similar to the pineapple that I think I'm already full of pineapple. Did you replace the label with the contents? LOL! If you drink it thinking it is Koshu Umehirin, you will be confused by the gap in aroma and taste, which is so different from the standard product. However, I think it is a sake that will impress those who like this type of sake.

I love it, but I haven't had a regular abe since last fall because I can drink it anytime I want. Sorry Abbe, I'll drink a lot again. But the price has gone up so much that I'm a little confused, am I? By the way, this is last year's BY fire-infused. The aroma has a grape-like acidity that is a bit like wine, some grassy nuances, and a hint of alcohol. The taste is...quite light for an Abe! It has a beautiful sake quality, with no sharpness at all! There's no hookiness! So anyway, it is very smooth and easy to drink for anyone. It is like a taciturn prince-like handsome man. However, since it doesn't talk at all, it is hard to understand what kind of sake it is by itself, so I think you need a side dish that brings out its personality. So I drank it with raw bonito sashimi, and the umami, which had been quiet, came to the surface and was very delicious! The acidity plays a dual role of flavor and sharpness, which is brilliant. The acidity plays the role of both flavor and sharpness, and it is clear that light sake and fish go well together. It is because it was served cold, but I think this may be the first time I have had an Abe that is so focused on food sake. It showed us a different face from the usual, but it was no less delicious, as expected!

I recently reviewed the white label of Tenbi, which I bought at a tasting and liked very much. Actually, the one I liked the most at the tasting was this one. It is only available in one bottle, so I finally had a refrigerator free and was able to buy it... It's so good! I really like this one! Especially when it's warmed up, it's so crisp and flavorful! It has a grape-like aroma and a bitter taste similar to astringency, making it almost like wine at times. It also has a fruity and exquisite flavor that can only be achieved by a good brew that has extracted the best parts of grains. Because of this deliciousness, it is hard to tell if it is dry or not, but I believe that the term "dry" does not refer to the taste per se, but rather to a comparison or trend, so if the brewery says it is dry, it is dry. If the brewery says it is dry, then it is dry. It is much softer than the general image of dry, and it seems to be a dry wine that can be enjoyed by people of all ages and both sexes. Is it...dry? But maybe it is still dry. This is the kind of sake that makes you ask and answer such questions. Shiraten was good, and this dry sake is also quite good! I thought that Tenbi is very good at making fruity dry sakes! I was so impressed with the white and red that I could drink them indefinitely, so I decided to continue drinking them in the future.

This is the first Shinomine ultra-harsh junmai I've had since 2021, the year of its debut at Sakegawa. I was caught up in the installment and bought it, but is it actually a sneaky PB that this is so light nigori even though it is clear sake wherever else I see it or search for it? The rice smells like freshly baked bread, plus grass and rice cakes. It smells nice and delicious, like it would go well with a meal. When you drink it, you feel a light, slightly carbonated feeling in your mouth. There are quite a few bubbles on the glass. And the clarity is excellent! It is not particularly full and smooth, but it is not just a beautiful sake. Jun-dai" would be much smarter, but the umami and some complex flavors are present, so in a good way, it is considered to be a junmai-standard sake. If you enjoy the taste of the ingredients, it goes very well with vegetables and fish, as well as meat dishes with a gentle taste, such as pork shabu-shabu. I enjoyed it with thinly sliced onions, garland chrysanthemum, and komatsuna greens. It is really nice to have a dry sake with a modern taste...!

To begin with, I am often impressed by the taste of Kansai sake these days, so it was a pleasant surprise! It is fresh and transparent. The attack is clean and plain, and it is fun to see the umami rush in immediately after the impression. It is a dry sake with little sweetness, but full of umami, and perhaps because of the freshness derived from the direct fermentation at the tank mouth, it is a very satisfying sake on its own. It has a certain taste that makes you think that this is what good sake is all about. On the first day, it has a mildly acidic, citrus-like aroma, and its transparency is well balanced by the bitterness and acidity, making it a sake that can be drunk for a long time. The acidity settles down after the second or third day. It is an excellent match for Japanese dishes that enjoy the flavor of the ingredients, such as fatty raw bonito sashimi, sautéed fresh onions, or fried egg with garland chrysanthemum!
