I have been impressed by Shoryu Hourai's fresh Omachi before, and I have not had it since. It is a hiyaoroshi-goshi, so I assume it is once-hiked, but it has a robust, crisp dryness that would be subtly convincing if it were twice-hiked. What is interesting, however, is that it is very much a "sake yeast" style! It has a strong acidity and a little, but not too much, dairy-like flavor. And when it is freshly opened, the astringency gives it a heavy body in a good sense. So it can be used like a wine, and it goes well with cheese! I paired it with camembert and it was great...! It was also served at room temperature at the restaurant, which is understandable! You can taste the freshness of the sake at room temperature, rather than drinking it cold and sharp. And if you warm it up lightly, it is unbelievably delicious! It is a flavor bomb and you can drink it with meals all the time. I drank it in bottle #4, but it is also suitable for drinking in a bottle for a long period of time, so I may do so from next year onward.

I haven't done sparklers in years. I haven't done actual sparklers for years, but I think it's been six or seven years since I did sparklers with sake. I think I drank it at a time when SENKOUGOU had been stripped down and I didn't like its taste very much. I used to like it until a year before that. The aroma is infused with an acidity that you can imagine the direction of the flavor from the aroma. I would like to know the name of this type of acidity today. My first impression is "sourness"! And from there, it is refreshing like a spud. There is no imbalance caused by a weak umami, which is common in low-alcohol sakes with this kind of acidity! As the manager said, the umami taste swells up afterwards. No, it was more like "gushing out" than "expanding," and there was a surprising feeling of something that should not have been there! This juwajuwa feeling is just like a sparkler, and it pops so beautifully... Just as you can't enjoy the real pleasure of potpourri if you handle it roughly, you can't appreciate its goodness if you drink it gulping it down, or it is an even better sake if you taste its proper development in your mouth. It is already winter, but I drank it on a day when the lingering summer heat was still intense. I will buy it again next year.

Since the spring session of Mitsuo Yamakawa's Yamagata Masamune, I bought two bottles of the summer sake and was very satisfied with them. I chose Omachi, a standard sake of the same brand, to compare with Aki-agari, a seasonal sake. As is typical of Tohoku sake, it has an apple-like aroma, especially pineapple, but it also has a hint of alcohol, which is strange. When you drink it, you can feel the alcohol, but it has a surprisingly rounded texture. This kind of sake may not be so common. After 3-4 days, the pineapple flavor fades away, and it is enjoyable as a medium dry sake with a hint of sweetness. It is often said to be "watery," and this is the level of mellowness that gives it the impression of being a sake from the Tohoku region. It is so delicious that I was scared after about the fifth day! The acidity cuts the excess sweetness, and the sourness gives it a fruitiness that makes it dry but juicy! I love Yamagata Masamune. I'm looking forward to the new sake season, which I haven't encountered yet. On the 7th day, we compared it with Senkou's Senkohana (sparkling firework), which was much more rounded than the other two! Amazing! I am very impressed!

Two summer sakes and Mitsuo Yamakawa's Yamagata Masamune times were my personal dots. The autumn sake has a good reputation, so we will have it with high expectations. It has a sweet aroma. It is as sweet as ever even when you swallow it. Although it is sweeter than the standard Omachi, the sweetness is just right and supports the umami, creating a very good balance. The ratio of sweetness to umami is about 7:3. It has a freshness and freshness as if it were a new sake, but with a pleasant acidity and soft sake quality, it is not too spicy and has a mellow mouthfeel, giving it a good autumnal sake taste. But what is interesting is that it is not just a soft, modern sake. It has a classical atmosphere with a strong alcoholic character, which is the quality of Yamagata Masamune. Overall, it has a fresh, light fruitiness, somewhat like a pear. This does not change even after a few days from the first day. It also has aromas of apple and pineapple. We chose a standard Omachi for the comparison, but this one has a distinct sweetness and plenty of flavor. The juiciness from the acidity and sourness of the other one? I enjoyed both as moist and umami sake! It was a good sake that had both autumn-agari-like and un-autumn-agari-like elements.

We had the first tank of Sentori Nakadori, which will be sold out this season, in a row. 14 bottles in total. We drank a total of 14 bottles in less than 2 weeks, so we felt sad, but the time we spent enjoying it flew by. I wonder if it is really the end... The aroma is light, with a hint of banana. When you drink it, it has a dry taste with a slight whiffle. It has a unique flavor that is typical of ogara-mi, and along with the acidity, it has a classic Sengoku-like umami, with hints of grapes, pears, lychee, and bananas, making it hard to understand what it is, but it's still delicious! I felt the alcohol was a bit strong towards the end, as if it had been left to rest too long, but it was delicious all the way through! Now that I won't be able to drink the first tank, I think I'll buy a bottle of Risshun Shibori for my next winter sake. I remember that it was quite tasty too.

The first tank is rumored to be sold out this season. The madness is that I secretly bought two No. 4 bottles and one bottle of Nakadori. No, it's my favorite sake. Why are they stopping? Please tell me it's a lie... I opened the bottle with big tears in my eyes! It's been over 8 months since I bought it and I'm on the verge of blowing it out! Oh, no! I just barely made it in time, but if I had been 0.2 seconds later, I would have come for sure! LOL! The standing aroma is sweet sugar and alcohol. However, it is not unpleasant. When you take a sip, you can smell grapes and pears...I wouldn't say that, but you can feel a freshness similar to that. It is light, dry, and has a rich brown sugar type flavor, and while it has a strong bitterness, it is also mellow and just right. So it is surprisingly drinkable and very tasty! This refreshing bitterness is like that of an actor who is toddling around when he was young, but has matured and is now, on the contrary, refreshing. LOL! It's dry because it's so chilled, but the sweetness is visible on the other side, which makes you think, "There's someone behind the glass...oh, that's him! It's that person! It's like that. I can feel that the taste is much better than when it was first released. This is more to my liking. It has been very good since the first day. Thank you for the first tank! It was very impressive...!

Following the Ozaki Shoten's special-order PB draft that I drank the other day, this time I drank the Hi-iri. I did not compare them or drink them consecutively, though. The aroma is my favorite, with the alcoholiness of a sake with a strong umami flavor. The sweetness is surprisingly not strong, as it is mainly sourness at a light 11 degrees C. And despite the aroma, the umami is not as strong. And contrary to the aroma, the umami is not that strong either (lol), but it is there. The raw version has more of a Pocari or lemonade flavor, while the hi-iri version is a bit more cohesive and rounded, which makes it more like a sake. If I were to use a baseball player as an analogy, I would say that Koushiro Wada of Lotte is the raw version and Yuji Kaneko of Seibu is the hi-iri version. Both are thin and fast speedsters, but Kaneko has a little more power. Yes, yes. Thank you for your hard work, Kaneko. He was my favorite player, cool but hot! I recommend drinking it in summer more than any other season because of its light and refreshing summery flavor. It definitely goes well with appetizers, but it also went well with chilled Chinese noodles with lots of vegetables! On the first day, it was like the Sengoku Kabutomushi from a few years ago, but from the second day on, it was light but well-balanced, and I really liked it!

Yamashiroya often serves muddy sake in winter, and this year I finally bought two bottles of it. This is an interesting type of second fermentation in the bottle, in which raw unrefined sake is added to hi-iru sake to give it a fizzy taste. To sum it up, it is a delicious sake that combines the best of both worlds: a solid, down-to-earth flavor and the energetic freshness of the fizzy sensation. The aroma is light, as is typical of Yamashiroya. The aroma is chewy and somewhat apple-like, like that of gyuhi (rice cake). It is hard to get into for those who like gorgeous sake, but for someone like me who likes light-flavored sake, it is a very attractive sake! It is very delicious! It has a dry taste that goes well with food, but the muddy component gives it a pop of flavor that is a perfect combination! It is very impressive! The top clear alcohol alone is a bit strong, but the bubbles and cloudy ingredients make it quite mild. It seems to be fun to change the taste over a long period of time, but I also think that it would be better to finish it early so that the fizzy feeling remains... I am torn.

When we think of Kaze no Mori, we think of Akitsuho. Akitsuho is the name of Kaze no Mori. It is such a standard product, but I have never had it, so I would like to try it, even though it is not a standard product. It is extremely delicious! The sweetness is moderate, and while the umami spreads, the acidity gives it a sharpness that slowly fades away with the bitterness that appears at the end. More importantly, it is very soft. It is much softer than the previous Kaze no Mori. I guess you can't go wrong with a sake made in the middle of the bottle. I originally like complex sakes, but I also really like the beauty of this kind of mid-pasteurized sake! It has a fresh peariness and melon-like overtone, which is often mistaken for sweetness, but it is actually umami, which is my favorite type of flavor that goes well with food! I had it with grilled shishito peppers with salted kelp and shichimi (seven spices), and it was too good together... It goes too well with cucumber tataki, too! I feel like I've been drinking only muddy sake, but I always want to drink this kind of clear sake that tastes good no matter who drinks it.

I have been drinking Sasasamune since I drank a winter nigori the year before last, I think. The lack of haziness in Fukushima sake is extraordinary, isn't it? The aroma is like Kaze no Mori! I hear it is moderately sweet and sour, with a juicy image. When you drink it...well, only the mouthfeel is again like Kaze no Mori! But this one is a little sweeter and has a unique flavor. It has a slightly fizzy appearance, but the mouthfeel was surprisingly smooth and soft. The impression remains almost the same from the beginning to the end, with a rich, brown sugar-like sweetness that is followed by a sourness, and finally a bitterness to close the bottle. It is a light to medium easy-drinking sake that should be suitable for those who have already passed the sake beginner level! From the third day, the sweetness that is typical of Sasasamune comes to the fore and it becomes a sweet sake. It is best to drink it by itself slowly and leisurely, rather than with a meal!

I drank the 4th bottle of Senkori Snowman during the winter period, and I really wanted to drink the bottle in the summer after letting it sit this long! Finally, the bottle was opened! It has the mouthfeel of a fire-aged muddy sake, with no particular fizziness. However, when you drink it, it has a moderate ripeness with a freshness that shows the goodness of fresh ripeness. It is not sweet and sour. It is rather an easy-drinking dry sake, and compared to its initial release, it is more classical and has begun to show its true colors. It is becoming more settled day by day, and is at its best from the third day to a week or so, making it super tasty! Immediately after release, it was fun and dry with a citrusy and strong fizzy taste, but after six months, there is no fizziness, and I was surprised to see it become a proper dry sake with a banana taste, not citrusy! So this is how Yukidaruma originally tasted!

Sake Nunoya Honkin Sake Brewery, which I happened to come across on the way to visit a grave on a family trip in GW. It was in Suwa! Strong luck that this product was, by no chance, the first day of release! And I was also able to tell the brewery that I am a fan of their sake, having bought and drunk it several times at Kodama in Otsuka! The bubbles are so strong! If I wasn't careful, I would have blown it out! AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! This nigori sake is dry and not sweet, but you can taste the umami of the rice, so it is delicious even if you drink it by itself! As you drink it, the richness and sweetness similar to brown sugar gradually appear in moderation. The refreshing acidity and bitterness of citrus fruits such as grapefruit and iyokan are very pleasant. The strong carbonation makes it even better on its own! But it tastes even better when paired with a meal! It has a wonderful range of flavor that can stand up to avant-garde attempts to pair it with hot pot (we'll take your advice about how long you've been eating it, lol) as well as with massaman curry, which we didn't expect. It is a model of active nigori, a quality of sake that does not seem to lose its flavor even if it is drunk for a reasonable period of time in a bottle. A memory correction? Even if you discount that, it was still a very tasty gem! I was impressed!

And from there, it is refreshing, like a spud. There is no imbalance caused by a weak umami, which is common in low-alcohol sakes with this kind of acidity! As the manager said, the umami taste also swells up later on, just as the flavor is well expressed. No, it was more like "gushing out" than "expanding," and there was a surprising feeling of something that should not have been there! This feeling of "sizzling" is similar to the feeling of being impressed by sparklers that can pop so beautifully. If you handle it roughly, you will not be able to enjoy the true flavor of the sake, and if you drink it in a gulp, you will not be able to appreciate its quality. I feel sad that this summer is coming to an end.

I liked it so much last year when we compared different tanks that I bought another bottle this year! But one of the tanks was already sold out, so I only got one bottle..! To sum it up, I think that the 13% alcohol content and Abe are not a good match... The standard 14% alcohol content is also a good match, but it's hard to say which one is better! When I opened the bottle, it blew out so much that I had a hard time opening it. It was a problem because it was not screw corked, it was capped. It's that energetic and refreshing on the palate, perfect for summer! I think this is a spring sake though lol! You can almost drink it as if it were a cloudy sake because there is a lot of tailings. It is a well-balanced sake with an easy-to-understand sweetness, umami, and acidity that is delicious from start to finish. However, it is also surprisingly good with food. It is easy to drink and the sweetness is kept to a moderate level, so it goes surprisingly well with Japanese style food. I tried it with Tempura and Tororo Soba, and it tasted great with both without any sense of discomfort. It has a bitter taste, but I feel that it compensates for the lack of food, and the acidity and umami taste serve as a bridge between the food and the bitter taste. This year's version is also very tasty! I am very impressed!

WINE CELL SPARKLING I took the plunge and bought two bottles in the winter time...it can't be helped because it's just too good every year! This is the second bottle I received earlier this year. It has a gorgeous aroma of apple and pineapple, which is typical of Houou Mita. Personally, it is not my favorite aroma. However, I wonder if it is because it is a muddy sake that it tastes so good even with this kind of aroma, which is not my favorite aroma. What is it? I noticed that there was no more in the sake cup! To be honest, it was so easy to drink that I didn't even have time to think about what I thought of it. LOL! It is delicious even when drunk by itself! You can drink it all the time. It is made with wine yeast, but this time I felt that it was made in a way that the flamboyance typical of Hououmida stood out more than the winey feeling. It goes well with any meal, but this time I paired it with corn tempura and gyoza dumplings...too good! Especially the tempura is very good with the sweetness of the corn and sake!

I drank Yamagata Masamune for the first time in about 10 years this year, and that was Mitsuo Yamakawa the other day. And is it Imadeya's PB at Izakaya? I drank "1898" and confirmed it was my favorite sake. I was going to buy it the next time I saw any of them at the liquor store, but they seem to sell out quickly, so I asked them to reserve it for me and somehow bought it. Basically, it is a dry mellow sake with a strong flavor. It has a slight rummy taste that gives it a summery flavor. It is a full-bodied sake, so I would like to taste it with a meal, but I think it did not go well with yakisoba noodles on the first day. But when I paired it with fried food, it tasted great! It is really interesting how the taste of sake changes with food! On the second day, it became so mild that it could be drunk on its own, and was full of Yamagata Masamune's typical flavor. I was not expecting to succeed in my yakisoba revenge! It's amazing that it can turn into a sake that goes well with anything in just one day! The impression remains the same on days 2 to 5, and instead of deteriorating, it tastes better than the first day! This is a brewery I want to follow in the future. I am impressed!

For some reason, I have the urge to drink Sawanoi on a regular basis, but this is the second bottle I've had this year, and it's a bottle! It's been a while since I've had an alcoholic sake. I was a bit nervous because some of them have a strong pungent taste that I don't like. However, I made a quick decision because it was Sawanoi and it was a muddy sake. The sake was corked without gas and had been on the market for quite a while, so it didn't have much of a sizzle. Also, the impression is the same no matter what kind of sake cup you use: trumpet-shaped ceramic, wine glass, or inokuchi (cup for pouring sake). LOL! However, the impression is completely different depending on whether you drink it by itself or with food. To be honest, the alcohol and pungency are too much for me to drink by itself. On a cloudy day in July, I paired it with spicy miso kimchi nabe after cooling down the room with the air conditioner on, and the sourness and umami of the two flavors seemed to come to the surface clearly, and yet the boundary between the two seemed to blend together, making it the most delicious! I even felt sweetness. Aruzoe is best when paired with a meal! Still, 2,420 yen for this taste is a very reasonable price, and it is a good sake that can stand up to a full bottle!

This is my favorite Abeno PB. There are other PB stores that also have PB, but I prefer Ozaki Shoten. LOL! The alcohol content is "11"! I haven't had this level of low-alcohol sake in a long time, but I'm sure I'll finish it in no time. The aroma is like...Niimasa...lol! And when you drink it... it also looks like Shinsei. Isn't this what they were aiming for? It's like lemonade with a gentle sourness, or sweet and sour like apricots, or sour like a spud... so you can drink it in large gulps. Anyway, it is light-bodied and can be enjoyed on its own. It goes well with light Italian snacks and salads. For Japanese cuisine, I think it goes well with gently seasoned dishes with bonito broth, such as soba noodles, ohitashi with dried bonito flakes on top, and yam. If I were to talk about personal preference, I would like to drink it with orikarami or light nigori. If you want a light sake with acidity, but can't get it, and you can get to Higashiyamato City, I think this is the perfect sake for you.

Kaze no Mori is always delicious, so I tend to go through with it, but if I don't buy it when I notice it, I won't drink it forever, so this is the first time I've had Akitsuho..! It has nuances of green banana and young melon. It tastes quite complex, and at first I thought it might be sweet and sour, but then the acidity takes over and it turns dry. It is very tasty even when the temperature rises because you don't feel it from the second day! Also, a strong bitterness comes out at the end. Overall, this sake has a strong flavor and a dizzying development, so I guess people who like this can't stand it. Surprisingly, it is not sweet, so it is more suited for eating than on its own. One drawback of low-pasteurization is that it feels rough because of its complexity, but it doesn't bother me much when I drink it with a meal. It is rather super tasty! To summarize my personal recommendation, if you chill it properly, you will not feel the complexity as a cloying taste, and if you drink it with a meal, the roughness of the low-purity will become milder, making it very tasty! I think I'll have the 657 next time I'm in the market.

I have been drinking Nigorizumi for the past 4 years. I also like Yamashiroya's hi-ire sake, but its light aroma and the fact that you have to sharpen your mind when drinking it make it a bit more difficult, so I tend to rely on Nigori-nagashi, which I can drink without thinking. It is one of the sakes that I have been repeating for years, just like Abeno Ipponshime, Senkou's Hatsutan Nakadori, and Yukidaruma. It has almost no aroma. It has a complex aroma when you drink it, and the citrus and herbal overtones are refreshing and pleasant. It was released in spring, but I think it would be a good sake for summer. It is not sweet, but the umami of the rice is quite strong and has a decent flavor! I really like it. It has a softness and is definitely tastier than last year! I was surprised to see the melon aroma peeking out on the third day! Is this really Yamashiya? As a food wine, it cuts through the harshness and is powerful, making it a perfect match for meat dishes, spicy food, and Chinese food! I'd like to pair it with hot bean curd and spare ribs! After the Kushira Nigori and Mutsu Hachisen Doburokku, which are both nigori sake, I was surprised to find that they are very similar but have different personalities and tastes!
