Aroma:  Subdued but elegant, with a ginjo aroma reminiscent of melon and pear. The hi-ire type gives it a more subdued impression than the nama-zake. - Mouthfeel:  The taste is well-balanced, with a soft sweetness and umami spreading in the mouth, and the acidity nicely enhancing the taste.  It is characterized by the "transparency" and "deep umami" typical of Jikin. - Aftertaste:  The latter half is crisp and clean, with a hint of rice sweetness lingering in the aftertaste.  While it has a calmness due to the fire-refining process, the juiciness characteristic of Jikin is still present.

This is the first time "San-do" has produced a "shichi-no-kozo" using the old brewing method "shiori. The brewery uses rice from the Kikuchi River basin, which is the best match for the brewing water, the same brewing method since the Edo period (1603-1868), "Namo yeast brewing," "pesticide-free cultivation," based on the concept of "not making everything an enemy," "fertilizer-free farming" that respects the diversity of bacteria and microbes, the "wooden vat brewing method" with the scent of cedar, as it was in the Edo period, and "yeast-free brewing" that takes a long time to brew to awaken natural yeast. The "additive-free yeast" brewing process, which takes a long time to awaken the natural yeast, and the "Shiori" brewing method, which is similar to the sake used to kill the eight-forked serpent in the ancient tale of Kojiki (the oldest chronicle of Japan). The crystallization of these seven methods of farming and brewing is the highest peak of this season's "Shichinonosozo". All of these elements are layered on top of each other to create a deep sense of concentration. Please enjoy the taste of the condensation of the blessings and individuality of the land, the richness of nature, ancient brewing methods, and the power of bacteria and microorganisms that live in the natural world.

Mizumoto" sake is brewed using the "mizumoto" method, which is said to have been invented in the Kamakura period (1185-1333). Mizumoto is a method of soaking koji rice in water to propagate lactic acid bacteria, and then using the strongly acidic water (called soyashimizu) as the brewing water to grow the sake mother. Nabeten modifies this process and adds yeast No. 6. The unique refreshing acidity and the sweetness and umami of the No. 6 yeast make it a "rich, mellow, strongly acidic, umami-kuchi sake" with a rich personality. This is a small release, so please give it a try.

October 1 is well known to sake fans as "Sake Day," but it is actually also known as "Glasses Day. The reason for this is the existence of "Haginotsuru Megane Exclusive," a popular limited edition sake with an eye-catching label. This year again, under the concept of "Toast with Glasses and Sake! and brewed exclusively by brewers who all wear glasses (surprisingly!). The brewery will release a special sake for October 1. The label of each product features an illustration of the brewer's face with glasses, and the common design is a sasuki (sash-hanging) design inspired by an eye test chart. In addition, a "Megane Wiping Cloth" is included as a common bonus. The remarkable "original glasses-only" sake quality, contrary to its unique appearance, is one that has been seriously crafted based on the belief of pursuing the highest quality. Despite its light impression, the pursuit of original sake quality has resulted in a taste that can be enjoyed by all, with the sweetness of rice blended with a white peach-like flavor and refreshing acidity.

This is an autumn version of the chestnut label. The design of the chestnut and fallen leaves is most "in character" with the yellow image color. There was a long time when Kumamoto yeast and Yamada Nishiki, a combination of big names, were traditionally said to be the strongest tag team. The sake is surprisingly juicy and fresh, with a modern taste. It may be a Junmai sake that will change the image of Harukaze as "a sake as gentle as a spring haze" in a good way. However, it does not have a brisk ginjo aroma, but rather a clean aroma and moderate acidity that will complement your meal, and the basic stance of this sake is that it is a mealtime sake. This is a limited edition sake that should be enjoyed slightly chilled and savored carefully.
