I've been wanting to drink Sawanoi once in a while, but I haven't been able to get my hands on it, so I bought it this time for the first time in a while. This time, I bought it for the first time in a long time! The aroma is like a less acidic version of Shinmasa, and you can tell that it's made from wood. I drank it with a meal without thinking about it, but it tastes so good! I thought it might be sweet for a moment, but it soon merged with umami, and the umami, astringency, and bitterness were all well felt. If you think the umami and astringency are long, you can taste the bitterness at the end for quite a long time. I can feel melon somewhere. It is a quiet and calm food wine. It is completely classical. However, there is a slight aroma of wooden vats, which gives it a Shinsei feel, and there is a firm acidity that is typical of the sake brewing process, which gives it a sense of newness and modernity. It was an interesting sake that could be said to be Sawanoi-like in a good way and unlike Sawanoi in a good way, as it was easy to drink and not too harsh for its 17% alcohol content! On the fourth day, the melon flavor was stronger...! It is also very tasty! It went well with the Yamanashi's specialty, chicken stew!

It has been a while since I have had Wakakoma, but I have a relatively high drinking rate of Ihyakumangoku. I like this one the best. I noticed that the color of the package has changed from brown (chestnut) to yellow. I wonder if they changed the color of the package to yellow because of the banana aroma. It is very juicy on the first day! I don't remember the fizz, sake, alcohol, and pungency being this strong. The aroma is quite stimulating, and the sake is messy and fun in a good way. The bitterness is characteristic of this sake, and it starts to appear in the middle of the first half of the bottle. Combined with the acidity, it is like grapefruit. The taste is similar to that of a dry nigorizumi with a strong flavor. It is like the active muddiness of the moon after the rain... The second day, it becomes a little milder... After the third day, the goodness of the flirting disappears and the harshness of the alcohol becomes more noticeable... The banana aroma this time did not remind me of fruit, but was similar to the so-called "magic ink" aroma with a strong alcohol taste. It was good until the second day, but after that, I felt the taste was a bit harsh, as if I had failed in every food I matched it with - but it was really delicious!

I can't tell you how long I've been waiting for this day... When I was just getting into sake, almost 10 years ago, I had a drink with my high school classmates at a pub in Shinjuku and we both liked this one the best. Since then, even if I found it at a liquor store, I never got around to buying it because it was in a bottle. But this time, I bought a bottle of this wine, half desperate, as if I didn't care about the capacity of my refrigerator. The nose is gently botanical with herbs, grass, and earth, and when you taste it, you can sense the fruitiness of grapes and other fruits. The mouthfeel is gentle and soft. However, it clearly has a tangy texture that is typical of nama-shu. This contradictory and contradictory feeling lightly confused my mouth, or rather, my head. There is a slight sweetness, a decent umami, and a moderate acidity. Overall, the wine is smooth and crisp, but there is a surprising bitterness and a lingering finish that is longer than expected. The bitterness is preceded by an astringency that gives it a bit of a white wine feel. It is an interesting and tasty sake that is fruity, yet excellent as a sake-like food wine. It used to be a sweet and fruity sake suitable for stand-alone consumption, but now it is a well-balanced sake that is excellent as a food sake. It is different from what I imagined, but this way of changing with the times is not bad! It is a delicious sake that you can drink all the time! It is a gem that shines only in a bottle!

Ane! Hi there, I'm a newbie to the market and I've been looking for a new product! You'll be amazed at how different this ruggedness tastes 😳 It's great for a bottle because the flavor doesn't deteriorate that much after a few days! It's also a great sake to get everyone together for a good time: ☺️

flos_lingua_est

Mr. ma-ki Hello! Sake with memories can be one of two things: either the memory correction makes it taste better, or the memories are too strong and it's something different when you drink it now, but it's a good thing. ☺️ Hayashi is highly recommended, so if you have a chance, please do not hesitate to try it!

I was so impressed with the obvious taste of STAR GAIZER last year that I got carried away and bought two bottles this year! The clarity is amazing! So clear that you can feel the stars and the starry void in the night sky. There is a unique richness from it and the first day it was ...... honestly not very tasty! LOL! But from the second day, STAR GAIZER is in its element and very tasty! The sweetness is moderate, but there is a sourness and a delicious flavor, and it is delicious without any cloying taste! I remember that it was very tasty on its own last year, but this time it is also good on its own! But I thought it was clearly better with a meal! Maybe it's because this year's sake is stronger than last year's. If you ask me what it goes well with, I can't think of anything, but I think it would go well with Western food, light Italian food, and snacks that don't contain much oil. If it is Japanese, it went well with nabe (hot pot)!

This is my first Toyo Bijin. I had drunk Yachiyo Shuzo's Room twice and wondered what kind of Toyo Bijin was in its class, but I happened to find it at a store I had been visiting for a while, so I bought it on the spur of the moment! The standing aroma is tropical and a bit gorgeous with pineapple and melon fruits. Is this the sweetness of Oriental Beauty? The sweetness is firm but moist and not stinging! There is also an impression of peach in addition to the fruits mentioned earlier. It is sweet, but not unpleasantly so, and has a very elegant bitterness, so it can be paired with appetizers, such as salads and cheese. This is the taste of Miyamanishiki of Hanahayo and Junodai of Hachitanishiki, right? This is delicious! Speaking of fruity sweet sake without any corners, Ding was great, but Toyo Bijin is also great!

I have had a little Mutsu Hassen, but Mutsu Otokoyama is completely new to me! A while ago, I had the impression that Mutsu Hassen lost all its flavor after the second day, but recently it has been able to keep its flavor quite well. What do you think of Mutsu Otokoyama? The aroma is a botanical scent similar to that of grass or earth, but only slightly. But when you take a sip, you will be surprised! It has a gorgeous capsule-like aroma similar to that of Mutsu Hassen! I don't think I've ever experienced such an aroma with such a strong standing aroma! The taste is definitely less sweet, but has a good umami. The taste is certainly not too sweet, but it has a good umami flavor, and yet it has a gorgeous overtone. It is dry, but popular, like a "Sanjyo," "EXILE," or "Ishihara Gundan"? Something like that. I don't know if the aroma has calmed down or if the taste has mellowed, but it is easier to drink and tastes even better from the second day! It's definitely dry, this one! It has a gorgeous ginjo aroma and a sharp dry taste! This is the kind of delicious sake that goes down so smoothly that you find yourself drinking it all up.

I was surprised to hear that Sentori is releasing a dobrokku. It is a cloudy sake named "dobrokku", right? Natur nigori was available until last year, and this sake is the successor to it. It is quite effervescent. The stimulation is very pleasant on the palate and makes it feel fresh. It is sweet and sour, but it has a nice sharpness, and the sweetness quickly turns into a delicious flavor, which disappears rather quickly. And because it has little bitterness, it is easy to drink for everyone. From the moment you drink it to the end, it develops very quickly. Various tastes come and go at once. It's like Splash Mountain starting a little before the waterfall. In a sense, this is the culmination of the past few years of Senkou, isn't it?

I was told of its existence at a sushi restaurant in Roppongi in 2018 or so. Since then, I kept finding it and then passing it up because of my refrigerator situation, and when I wanted to buy it, it was sold out, so it was off my wish list. But this time, I happened to see a review of it at a certain liquor store, and it looked delicious, so I ignored my refrigerator situation and went out and bought it. I wonder if the aroma is quite weak. I've been drinking a lot of fragrant stuff lately, so maybe my nose is getting a little stupid... but it has a nice muscat aroma. But it has a nice muscat aroma! I love this! I was so swooning that I couldn't help but read the words in a robotic tone. The elegant grape-like aroma. Wine? The taste is completely different from wine, though, as there is no astringency. The acidity and aroma make it seem fruity. At first it seems dry, but as the temperature rises in the mouth, the sweetness that appears and the hints of aroma make it seem juicy somehow. It is beautiful, but it is not limited to that; you can also taste a voluminous fullness, which is very satisfying. It is the most delicious wine I have had recently! Impressive!

I stopped by the brewery for the first time in a while. I used to have a special fire-brewed junmai and a sake called "Mariko no shu" which is named after the female toji (master brewer?). Both were quite dry, classical sake. Both were quite dry classical sake, and I had the impression, for better or worse, that this is what local sake is supposed to be like. This was probably my first nigori sake, but it looked delicious, so I bought some! I wondered if the beautiful woman at the sales counter was Mariko herself? It has a classical aroma with a banana feel. It is more of a hint than a standing aroma. It has a classical taste and is dry, but you can drink it by itself if you want! It is very easy to drink because it has a lot of turbidity, which gives it a strong umami flavor and makes it easy to taste the sweetness. I drank it with kimchi nabe (kimchi stew), and I think it goes well with strong flavors and nabe dishes! It also seems to go well with meat, and I am sure it would go well with ginger-grilled pork or chicken steak. I imagine it is like Kikuhime nigori or Tamagawa nigori! To be honest, I think it's one of the best in the Koshu Plum Grove, so I'd be happy to buy a bottle and drink it slowly. It can probably be stored at room temperature until early spring.

This is the first Shinanotsuru I drank this year, and I am already on my second kind! Before drinking it, I had an image of it being like Kameizumi cel-24, but was it really... Huh? Is this standing aroma Hanayo? Mutsu Hassen? And when I put it in my mouth, the hint of aroma was quite mild, like a hana-yosu. The taste is also similar to that of Hana-yosuyu, gorgeous but with a hard, classic impression. It has a clean and refreshing mid-palate quality. Combined with the sense of alcohol, I think that is why it is surprisingly classical. The sweetness is not so much, and the umami is not strong either, but it is there and can be matched with meals to some extent. From the third day, it starts to come together... it's like a "hana-hou-yoku" (sun shower). It is gorgeous, but not sweet and sour like Kameizumi cel-24. If you want to drink Hanayo but can't find it, but you can buy Shinanotsuru, please try it.

One of the sakes that impressed me last year. Hououmida is not my favorite because it has too much apple or pineapple aroma, but this one is moderate so I don't mind. I wonder if I like it because it is especially gentle on the palate. The aroma is tropical and capsule-like, typical of Hououmida. It should not be too strong, but I don't dislike it at all. Maybe I'm liking it because I keep drinking Cap-like alcohol? LOL! There is a hint of apples, but the strongest aroma is that of melon soda! There are hints of grapes and muscat, but this is an adult melon soda! Unlike a simple melon soda, you can keep drinking it without getting tired of it, and it's extremely tasty! It is an active nigori with a hint of nigori rather than ogara-migori. It has the mellowness of a cloudy sake, the stimulation of bubbles from the light but active nigori, and the fruity aroma, which may be derived from wine yeast or the Hououomida character, all of which are very pop and delicious elements. The sweet, delicious, acidic, and bitter tastes all have no spicy flavor, from the aroma to anything else, so you can enjoy them beautifully as a natural series of flavors. I like it so much that I wonder if they will make a summer sake ver. like WINE CELL SPARKLING SUMMER lol.

I thought I would never drink it if I missed it here, so I ordered it at an izakaya! I really wanted to drink Jikin Special Junmai, but... lol! When I took a sip, the strong fruity aroma of pineapple, melon, and karin, and the juicy sweet and sour aroma filled my mouth and seemed to escape into my nose. If you like this kind of sake, you can drink it for the rest of your life! I think many sake beginners will start with this one! Seriously, it's amazing! I like this kind of sake once in a while! I might even buy some for home drinking... I think I'll buy some to drink at home... There was a time when Senkyoku had a series of sweet and sour flavors like this, wasn't there? I wonder if they will make something like this again as a seasonal product lol (I always say that)

Personally, Kawanakajima and Genmai are more difficult to obtain than Jyushiyo. I think Marie Antoinette once said, "If you can't buy it, just drink it at an izakaya," so this time I gave up on Jikin and tried it! It has a good balance of sweetness, umami, and acidity, and perhaps because it comes after Kameizumi, it gives a subdued impression, but it also has a strong ginjo aroma, so I think it would be absolutely gorgeous if drunk on its own. There is also a botanical impression somewhere, like shiitake mushrooms and earth. Hence, it is not completely for beginners, but I thought it is a sake that is popular with everyone, from moderate beginners to sake drinkers, which is no wonder it is so popular. I would have liked to drink it when the temperature was a little higher... I think I would like it more when the umami flavor opens up...!

The other Jyushiyo's I've had have a strong aroma and sweetness, but this one has just the right amount of saltiness. It's al-soze, isn't it? I didn't know it was possible to make a sake with an aroma so close to that of junmai, but with the benefits of al-soze! It's really amazing! If you can buy it at the regular price, I don't think you can find a sake as cosy as this one. If only I could buy it at regular price. lol lol lol.

I was so impressed with this wine that I drank it before. We opened the bottle with high expectations for this miraculous bottle, which is both modestly gorgeous and mellow... The aroma is a combination of pineapple and melon. Every time you take a sip and swallow a little bit, this aroma comes rushing back again and again, and the Huayouyasumi character is tremendous. Whether intended or not, it is like a celebrity who insists all the time that "this is me," and has a very clear character. For example, Anochan, lol. It is characterized by a fruity and juicy aroma of sweet and sour. It tastes like a mass of intertwined sweet and savory flavors sitting right at the core. The final taste is a bitterness and umami, and I wonder if it is this umami that makes Hana-yosu so special. I don't know if I should have let it sit for about three months but it was still a bit stingy, or if I should have drunk it sooner, but once again, I thought it was a sake that beginning sake drinkers would be hooked on! It is a delicious sake with a fruity taste that is hard to believe it is made from rice.

Abeno's new sake season is upon us, and following on from the Junmai we had the other day, this time it's Junmai Ginjo! Following the Junmai we had the other day, this time it is Junmai Ginjo, born in October 2023 and shipped in November...so vol. 6, they have been making raw sake for quite a while now, lol! The aroma reminds me of lactic acid and ama-amai acid, which I like. And the fact that it is not excessive is wonderful! Immediately after taking a sip, it has a lactic acidity, then a juicy sourness, and a hint of banana. The flavor is full, the umami expands at once, then the citrus-like bitterness fades away, and finally the sweetness gently peeks out and disappears. Abeno Jungin Nama is really high quality! Because it is so easy to drink, one might think it was sweet, but as usual, the sweetness is kept in check by the acidity, giving it a mid-palate feel. So it goes well with meals. This time I paired it with kimchi nabe, and the acidity went great with the kimchi. The fire-brewed version has a more subdued flavor and is more suitable for eating, but the draft version has the potential to be drunk on its own, making it the most versatile wine for any occasion.

The middle of the leap issue that I couldn't drink 4 years ago. The hurdle has been raised because the Ara Seme was so good, but how about this one? The nose has a gorgeous pineapple-type ginjo aroma. When you drink it, it has a gorgeous aroma similar to pineapple, peach, or melon, but there is more to it than aroma. ......What is this softness? You will be surprised at the softness of the mouthfeel, which is hard to reconcile with the gorgeousness of the aroma! Many sake with such a gorgeous aroma have a harsh pungent taste or a bad smell behind the good aroma, but there is none of that! It is sweet, but the acidity effectively suppresses it each time. It is sweet, but the acidity effectively suppresses it each time. It also has a juicy acidity that, combined with the aroma, makes it look gorgeous. If you dare to let it roll around in your mouth for a while, you will find bitter and pungent tastes, but even these are good accents. When I first started drinking sake, I could only enjoy sweet and capsicum-type sakes that were not gorgeous, but my tastes have changed a lot since then. But now my tastes have changed a lot. This was a wonderful sake that reminded me of those days and that I could truly enjoy!

Is Hakone Ginjo the name of the brand? However, I am not sure because the name does not come up at all when I looked it up on Google... I haven't had a fire-brewed ginjo-shu in a long time. The ginjo aroma is pleasant. It has an elegant aroma and sharpness, and is the smoothest dry sake of them all. It is very good as a food sake for Japanese food, and goes well with white fish and vegetables. It is also good with sashimi!
