Sake with a hint of hops.
It may not be to everyone's taste, but I like it.
The slightly spicy hops accent the sake and give it a unique sharpness. This is a sake I would like to continue to pursue in the future.

A drink at a sushi restaurant you are visiting for the first time.
When asked, "What kind of sushi do you like?"
I am usually asked
I usually give a vague order
I enjoy giving a vague order.
Many sushi restaurants prefer a dry taste, but we do have a "light sweet taste".
When I hear the word "Black", I imagine dry,
This is a beautiful sweet wine. The taste is not monotonous,
It is not monotonous, but has a nice umami taste. It is not so assertive that it interferes with the meal, and it has a good sharpness. It is delicious.
At home, I can only handle Yongbottle, but I guess it tastes better in Ippong bottles.

ShinkameSWEET SQUASH
sikamaru
It is a jacket purchase, or rather, a naming purchase.
I bought it because of the name, or rather, because of its name. The label looked like a simple champagne, so I bought it on the spur of the moment.
I wanted to drink a sparkling wine after a long time.
The taste is just like Shinkame.
It is dry and crisp with a slight bitterness. The taste is silky with a hint of bitterness.
Since it is summer, it is good to drink it refreshingly.
If I don't buy it with vigor once in a while, I always end up chasing the same flavor.
I'm gradually finding what I like, so I'd like to try new tastes again.

Good morning, sikamaru 😃.
I've just had the first sip of Kamikame's sparkling wine! We had the first sip when we were out drinking and it's dry and good as you said 🤗It's fun to discover new things 💡 with a new one you haven't had before!

It still doesn't increase. The quantity.
I don't have the guts to go for two bottles.
I don't have the guts to go for two bottles, so I wonder if you could do something about it.
I'm not sure who you are appealing to, but I really like the taste. It is a perfect example of a balanced and refreshing Omine. It doesn't taste that summery, but that's OK because it's delicious.

Abe after a long time.
It has a cool and refreshing taste, just like a summer sake.
It has a gaseous, fresh aroma, a clear, fresh acidity, and a gentle sweet umami flavor.
I prefer the taste on the second day or so as it becomes more familiar, but for drinking on a hot summer night, the gaseous sensation immediately after opening the bottle is very effective.
It ran out quickly.

This is my first Modern Sentori since the renewal. I somehow thought that the first sip should be fire-brewed, so I held out until I stumbled upon Ichi Shiki, and it took me a long time to find it. I would have liked to have had a classic, but I couldn't find a classic either.
The aroma is subdued.
The feeling in the mouth is fresh.
Is it strange that it is fresh when it is fire-aged? It is clear and has the same refreshing sweetness and acidity that is typical of Senkyoku.
The alcohol is not too strong, so it goes down smoothly.
This is the standard.
I would like to try the other formula and the classic.

It is no longer a summer term. The Sacred Bird Beetle.
We caught them by accident this year, too.
Sweet and sour as usual and a little lactic acidic.
The first sip always surprises me a little.
From the second day, the sourness has settled down a little and the taste has become more familiar.
I prefer it if I leave it a little longer, but it disappears soon.
It's strange.

Good evening, Jay & Nobby.
Yes, I was at 400. Thank you very much. I feel like I'm getting narrower and narrower in what I drink, so I'll try to be a little more adventurous.

The last one is Genzai, Daiginjo. Nice to meet you.
I used to wonder why it was a daiginjo and not junmai. I used to think that aruze was inferior to junmai, but thanks to Isobojimaso and Kagaku Masamune, I have changed my mind.
It is also delicious.
The aroma is elegant (I don't mean weak) and the flavor is robust and complex, but nicely integrated. Can I buy this as a regular bottle?

Next is the day of the sun.
Hm? Sake Komachi?
The only Nichinichi I have ever encountered is Yamadanishiki or Tamakoe, but I was not expecting Sakekomachi.
It seems that they make a limited edition of this sake with several different types of rice. This time it seems to be Sake Komachi.
It has a light and gaseous taste. The alcohol content is 11 degrees, so it is easy to drink.
The taste is carefully intertwined with umami and sweetness, and it finishes clean and crisp. The aroma is also mild.
This sake is perfect as a food sake and even more so in summer.
I hope it is not a limited edition.

Second drink.
SAKE HUNDRED, which I can't buy by myself.
And it's a special order, with a dark blue label that says Oboro or something like that. I had never seen or heard of it.
The taste is something unique.
The aroma is mild and the mouthfeel is refreshing, probably because it is made as a food sake. However, the flavor is deep and spicy.
What does spicy mean in sake? It is spicy.
Personally, I believe that sake is made up of a balance of sweetness, bitterness, and acidity based on the umami of the rice, but sometimes there is a salty taste.
I took the liberty of thinking that it is spicy because of the way this saltiness is perceived.
My impression is that the flavor is spicy and unique, but it is a level of assertion that is perfectly acceptable as a food wine.
The sense of balance there is wonderful, and the rest is simply delicious.

After a light beer to quench the thirst, the Shinsei was served. Shinsei has an image of being strong in many ways, but this one has a strong umami flavor, yet is clear and fresh, making it easy to drink.
The depth of the umami flavor is as one would expect.
Although it finishes quickly, it does not leave you feeling unsatisfied, and it will make you anticipate the meals that are to follow.

Summer has come and gone.
I thought I might not have a chance this year, but I managed to slip in.
My memory is not good enough to compare it with last year, but both last year and this year are delicious.
It has a light aroma, a fresh mouthfeel, and a gentle sweetness. The acidity spreading in the middle is pleasant and characteristic, creating a cohesiveness and a crispness that leads to a sharpness.
It was good to drink it before the rainy season started.

Summer.
This is the first summer sake from Gagakuyo.
The alcohol content is 10.5 degrees. Thank goodness. The aroma is subdued, but the freshness and slight gasiness make it pleasant on the palate.
It is refreshingly sweet, and it is indeed possible to produce such a great taste with such low alcohol content.

Hi Jay & Nobby.
It is strange to encounter alcohol, isn't it? For some reason, I can catch a beetle without even being aware of it, but I can't find red-built jade even if I want it. I wonder why?

Gakki MasamuneJAM SESSION 福乃香
sikamaru
This is a Musical Instrument Masamune JAM SESSION, with a stylish label. I drank it without much prior information, but it had a slightly different dry taste like the Abeno test brew I had a while ago. It has a freshness and light sweetness, but also a sharpness that is a mixture of sourness and alcohol. Interesting.
The second and third days, the taste gradually becomes more familiar. The third day is the easiest to drink, and I personally like it, but in terms of character, I guess the first taste is what makes it unique.

Long time no cargo tag sake. This is Sake Mirai.
It has a good alcohol content of 13 degrees.
I've had a lot of sake, and I've been saying, "Oh, but this is it after all. It tastes like what they say it tastes like.
My personal preference is the sweetness of the rice and the freshness of the drink. A slightly floral aroma with a clear taste. I like the feeling of a slight kick at the end with acidity or bitterness, but it is best if there is a coexistence of the feeling of wanting to drink more and the feeling that it would be a shame if you drank too much.
This is exactly one of the best.

Hello, sikamaru!
The sake Mirai Shiboritate by Kafuda-san looks delicious 🤤.
I had a bottle of the fresh sake last year, but now I want to try the Shiboritate 😋.

Hello, ma-ki-san!
It's hard to find a sake that I drank last year, but the specs have changed slightly, or the same rice and the same milling ratio is used in different places. It's a good enough excuse to buy one, though.

The second glass was Niseko.
This is my first time, but I drank this label before with Bunkajin.
Both Mr. Aoki and Mr. Onoe are rice farmers, but Mr. Onoe is said to be a former sushi chef. That's right, they make good sake rice.
The sweetness is not fruity, but rather the sweetness of the rice, but it is not harsh and refreshing.
Overall, it is fresh and goes well with sushi.

Sushi and sake on the day you come back from overseas. It is light and dry without any spikes. The aroma is not strong and you can drink as much as you want. The minimal amount of sake that makes it taste good complements the food.

Good evening, Jay & Nobby.
Akabu was sold for about 8,000 yen for a 4-goupe bottle. If you drink it at a restaurant, it will easily exceed 10,000 yen. I am glad I was born in Japan.

Aiyama in Daimine. Last time it was the cool black one, but this time it was the normal version. I think the black one was unfiltered raw sake.
The black Aizan was quite strong with a unique bitter-sweet taste that made me a little tired of drinking it, but the fire-aged version has calmed down a little and is easier to drink.
Personally, this is enough for me.
However, I still think Yamadanishiki is the best for Omine.

Mimurosugi菩提酛 奈々露

I had an impression that the label of Mimuro Cedar's Bodaihashi was woody or old-fashioned sake, so I was a bit distant from it.
After all, it is a delicious sake.
Unlike my preconceived notion, it is fresh and juicy. It is light and easy to drink. The alcohol content is low. (Probably).
Well, I can't help it if I reject my preconceived notions because I can't choose, but I guess there are a lot of people who don't drink it because they have a wrong perception of it.

Probably for the first time.
Hippocampus of the birthplace. Now we have three colors.
Blue is fresh, green is complex, and pink is dense. Even though it is dense, the alcohol content is only 13%, and it has a certain sharpness and a refreshing taste that can be used as a food wine.
The aroma is also very luxurious.
This may be a good choice with food.
I ate well, talked well, and drank well, so now I want to try my best to buy it myself.
