I was still attracted to the zodiac sign label. Tazake was sold out, so I went with this Ni-Utsuri. It has a strong umami and acidity overall, which is typical of nama sake. It is fresh and has a strong aroma, but the aftertaste disappears nicely, so you can continue drinking without feeling it is too heavy. The spirit of "He who runs after two hares will catch them both" is a great example of the spirit of monozukuri. Personally, however, I like the idea that if you chase one rabbit, you will be lucky if you happen to catch two rabbits. Personally, however, I like the idea of "I was chasing one hare and happened to get two hares.

There was a little bit of Shinkame left. I ordered it for the selfish reason of drinking it by the end of this year. It has a strong umakuchi taste. The sweetness and flavor of the rice can be felt well as a sake. Still, the overall taste is mellow and clear with a nice sharpness. It is a good sake that has both a good drinking quality that can be savored slowly and a simplicity that can be matched with meals.

The end of work. After returning home, I went to my family's year-end party (the second time) and the first wine I had was Mimuro Cedar. It was quite fizzy and tasted like champagne. It was cloudy but smooth and easy to drink. It is more complete than uselessly expensive champagne. It is sweet, so I think it is best at the beginning or at the end, but there are no peculiarities that would interfere with a meal. How many more kinds of sake can we expect to find this year?

It's a bit expensive, but I bought Takasago, which I wanted to try because I like it metaphysically now. Fruity and gorgeous, it is elegant and understated. It has the clarity and clean taste typical of junmai daiginjos, and is naturally sharp. The balance of sweetness and umami is quite to my liking. It is a pity that it is a bit expensive, but when you think about it, it is a Junmai Daiginjo. It can be said that this price is reasonable. I would like to try other Takasago as well.

Good evening, sikamaru. If you like Jigoku, you'll want to try it, Takasago ⤴️ I'm waiting to get my own Takasago for the exact same reason 🎵. I'm looking forward to drinking it after reading your review 😊.

Normally, I would have finished with beer and three kinds of sake, but since it was the end of the year, I just had one more drink. And here is the snowman. No way...it was a UA snake. I was surprised that they stock such a thing. Personally, I keep a certain distance from collaboration items because I feel like the price goes up unnecessarily. Still, this is a purchase. What do you mean by a snowball of noble sake? It is a taste that answers the question, "What does it mean to be a snowman of kijoshu? The smooth sweetness that is typical of kijoshu wraps around the snowball, making it beautiful and light like a sweet champagne. Choosing this as the last drink was also a quintessential choice. Thank you very much for your kindness.

The third drink of the day. Hello! KOUEIGIKU is the last sake to be served with the fatty fish of winter. The gentle sweetness and beautiful acidity that is typical of Aizan goes well with winter sushi. It was a good last spurt with a lot to drink and eat. I haven't been buying much Koueikiku lately, but now I want to buy some myself again.

The second glass was a Kudo Ute. A junmai daiginjo polished to 11%. A true forbidden hand. Like the earlier Haneya Prism, this one is gorgeous and fruity. It is not just sparkling, but moist and smooth. It has a unique taste with a sense of tension as if it has been well-trained, and the gorgeousness that is typical of Kudokibe envelopes the taste. It is delicious. The technique of polishing up to 11% while keeping the flavor is quintessential.

A family's year-end party. the first drink was Haneya Prism. It was fresh and sweet, but rather complex. But it is rather complex. It is not complicated, but sparkling like the label. It's refreshing, gorgeous, and delicious. As a first drink, this sake will make you look forward to the mealtime ahead.

I'm so busy at the end of the year that I can drink (and force myself to drink) but can't keep up with the check-ins. My memory of taste is also suspect. Tanaka Rokugo. It has a fresh feel and is easy to drink clearly. I forgot my impression of the umami, so I thought it was a balanced type, not too punchy. I was not bored with the taste and it was gone soon.

First brand. Hakuin Masamune. As you can see from the impression on the label, it has a full mouthfeel with a taste of rice. There is no sweetness, and the impression is of a well-honed flavor. I would never have been able to choose such a sake on my own, so I am grateful that I was able to encounter it.

Sushi at a year-end party. After beer, Hinichi's Yamadanishiki. The fresh and clear flavor is very impressive, and although it is not sharp, it does not interfere with the food in the first place. The balance of sweetness, umami, and acidity is good, of course, but this transparency is a bit surprising. This may be the best place in Japan to enjoy drinking nichinichi.

This year's snowman seems to have come to an end. Since the onset of winter, the snow has accumulated in the blink of an eye. It has been well mixed. It's not too late to say this, but the fact that it is easy to drink even though it is so cloudy is a unique flavor of Yukidaruma. I have the impression that the acidity and bitterness are well controlled. Sentori is very good at branding the two axes of this seasonal, classic and modern series.

Sushi Restaurant in December. Hououmida's sword is refreshing on the palate and has a very good balance of umami and sweetness. It is both mellow and crisp, so you can enjoy both the deliciousness of the sake and the food during the meal. It is a good example of how good balance can be said to be a lack of features, but if perfection is achieved, it will become a proper feature.

This year, too, we could feel the coming of winter. To be honest, I don't remember what it tasted like last year, but it was delicious again this year. I drank it mixed with origami from the beginning, and it had no unpleasant bitterness or unnecessary complexity. There was no unpleasant bitterness or unnecessary complexity, and the taste was crystal clear, as if winter was quietly but steadily approaching. I hope this winter is as mild as this sake.

It's been a long time since I've had an Abe Silver. The last time I drank Abe, the dryness of the Abe Competition was so shocking that I forgot when I drank it before. Abe Silver is a personal favorite of mine, a hall of fame, and I thought it had a high degree of perfection, but this time Abe Silver was even tastier. I think this may be the result of Abee's efforts to improve the dry taste, but I had the impression that the previous Abee was rather sharp with a bitter taste, but this time I hardly felt any bitterness. Overall, there is a sense of transparency and a strong flavor profile. The taste does not become dull, so it naturally has a nice sharpness. I had the impression that the level of perfection had clearly improved. It was very tasty.

Fresh dairy peaks, even when fired up. Wish it came out of the faucet. I think I am getting so used to the taste of Omine that I am forgetting how to taste it. There are both Yamadanishiki and Dewa Sanzan, but to be honest, I don't know that much about the individual flavors of each. All of them are delicious, so that's fine, but I think it would be better to taste them more properly.

The second drink was a shizuku of Kuroryu. It's a nice sake. It has a fresh, sweet aroma and a clear taste. It has a dry impression, but the lingering aftertaste is excellent. When you learn that a sake like this is not junmai sake, you feel the depth of aluzoe. I personally like Isojimasume and Musical Instrument Masamune, but this Kuroryu Shizuku was also excellent.

Sushi and Sentori. Speaking of SENKOKU, there are beetles, red dragonflies, snowmen, and so on..., Seasonal items stand out, But when you suddenly come across a classic SENKYO, you will be reminded of the power of SENKYO, and that this is the mainstream. The mild acidity humbly asserts itself amidst the sweetness of the rice. Overall, it is simple, but cohesive and seamless. I think the Classic Series is really well made.

When people think of dry, they think of Hitakami. When people think of Hidakami, they think of dry. Its clarity and crispness are outstanding. It is such a complete food sake that if a dish does not go well with Hidakami, the problem lies in the dish itself. It is wonderful that it is so refreshing, easy to drink, and yet does not leave you feeling deprived.
