Type: honjozo, style: yamahai, rice: Akita Sake Komachi/Hitomebore, polishing rate: 65%, alc.: 15% Long time no see, my friends. I have been drinking sake but don't have much time to post lately. It's Christmas time. Today was the last work day before holiday. Meet my dog, Goji. This Yuki no Bosha is dry and full of umami from rice. There is a lovely fruity acidity too. Smells of banana and rice cakes. Happy Christmas 🌲

Type: daiginjo, rice: Yamada Nishiki (koji), Yamada Nishiki, Gohyakumangoku, other (kakemai), polishing rate: 45%, SMV: +5, acidity: 1.2, amino acid: 1.0, yeast: No. 901, alc: 15,5% Faint aroma of melons and alcohol. I couldn't smell any ginjoka. Flavor is dry with sharp acidity at both sides of my mouth and moderate umami. Strong flavor of alcohol a little bit like vodka. Cool and light mouthfeel. I liked Hakkaisan junmai daiginjo better. I engraved that 酒 character on the glass myself 😃

Type: daiginjo, polishing rate: 50%, SMV: +5, acidity: 1.1, alc.: 15% It was on promotion in supermarket and I liked the label, so I bought it. I got it for a very good price. Aroma is fruity. Tropical fruits and fruit candy. Love it. Flavor is sweet with dry finish. Light body. Not bad but it feels like I can taste the added alcohol.

Type: tokubetsu junmai, rice: Koji Yamada Nishiki, Kakemai Gohyakumangoku, polishing rate: 60%, SMV: +1, acidity: 1.5, amino acid: 1.8, yeast: No. 9, alc.: 15% I had Yoka's JDG for comparison. This TJ has more umami and higher amino acid content. More flavor of rice. It is great drink and goes well with fish.

Type: junmai daiginjo, rice: Yamada Nishiki, polishing rate: 40%, SMV: +3, acidity: 1.2, amino acids: 1.1, yeast: Kumamoto yeast, alc.: 17% They had this sake on promotion in a sushi restaurant. Lovely strong ginjo aroma that suggests freshness. Full bodied and elegant drink, slightly fruity. Delicious. Went very well with raw tuna. I loved the high alcohol content of 17% I would buy this again any time ❤️

Type: junmai daiginjo, polishing rate: 50%, SMV: +1, acidity: 1.3, yeast: ND-4 (Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology), alc.: 15% Gorgeous aroma of ripe fruits. Gentle mouthfeel, elegant and easy to drink. Sweeter with bitterness at the end. Maybe I am wrong but I can slightly feel just a bit of effervescence on the tongue. This sake won gold medal at Kura Master 2023 in Paris. Tenju Shuzo's toji took his position when he was 30 years old and thus becoming the youngest toji in Akita.

Feels almost like drinking cold water with few drops of lemon juice in it. Color is crystal clear. There is savory flavor just before dryness at the end. Aroma was not too strong as I drank it cold but flowery notes and rice appeared when the drink got close to room temperature.

type: ginjo, rice: Dewa San San, polishing rate: 50%, alc.: 15% Beautiful ginjo aroma with floral notes Flavor is medium dry, light body, less umami. I read that this sake was lead the ginjo boom in 1980's when ginjo was made for competitions. Dewazakura wanted to make this style of sake available to public.

I had this sake during Christmas time last year. I tried it both at room temperature and warmed. Type: junmai, rice: Haneuki, polishing rate: 60%, SMV: +4, acidity: 1.4, alc.: 15% This is well-balanced sake for everyday enjoyment. Aroma of rice flower and bananas. Slightly dry, mild and soft. It's not complicated and can be enjoyed with most kinds of food. I learned that Haneuki is a table rice. The brewery is very old. It was established in 1597 which makes it the 13th oldest sake brewery.

I bought a small bottle in izakaya in Shanghai.This is a bottle designed for Heiseiya Izakaya chain in China. Type: daiginjo, rice: domestic rice, rice polishing rate: 50%, alc.: 17% Aroma is mild for daiginjo. I don't get much fruity aroma. Flavor is dry and light. I am missing the elegance of daiginjo.

Daiginjo-like aroma with fuller body. Type: tokubetsu junmai, rice: Ginotome, polishing rate: 55%, SMV: +4, acidity: 1.5, yeast: M310 and No.9, alc.: 15% - 16% The aroma is beautiful. Bananas, exotic fruit like pineapple, sweet rice cake. Smells like ginjo sake. Smells so good that one must drink it right away. Flavor is medium dry but the sweetness of rice can be felt. Umami is strong in the mid palate. Juicy. Not too bitter. Short aftertaste. Great balance!

Good morning Milan Hauser, ☀️ It's a bit expensive for a special junmai, but it's beautiful and high quality! I feel like I'm getting a good deal when I find it on the all-you-can-drink menu at a pub 😁.

The bottle is so very elegant and beautiful. Style: muroka nama, rice: Gohyakumangoku, alc.: 17% This is a summer release, so it's supposed to be lighter. The alcohol content is only 17% which is low for this producer. Aroma of bananas, it's not too strong. Body is lighter than other Noguchi Naohiko's products. There is still notable umami. I'm a bit confused. It's lighter but not refreshing enough for summer sake.I love the bottle.

It was my birthday on November 17th so I opened a bottle of daiginjo. Type: junmai daiginjo, style: kimoto, rice: Omachi, polishing rate: 40%, SMV: +5, acidity: 1.8, yeast: flower yeast rhododendron, alc.: 16% This is not a classic DGJ. The aroma is mild, no ginjoka. It is made by kimoto method and flower yeast is used (Amabuki's style). Aroma of cooked rice and bananas, honey. Flavor is dry, full of umami. Drinks easily like DGJ but with full body and firm acidity and tartness.

The color is pink, but the aroma and flavor are typical sake. Type: junmai, rice: Gohyakumangoku and black rice, polishing rate: 58%, yeast: peony yeast, alc.: 15% The aroma of blackcurrant. flavor is dry with notable sourness and tartness. The color is very special. One might think this is not sake but when you taste it, it's sake.
