Tonoike Shuzo Brewery, Tochigi Prefecture Nozomu Special Junmai Comet Unfiltered Bottle Heated Comet is a sake rice produced in Hokkaido. The aroma is mild, with a hint of melon on the palate. The umami and flavor are moderate, making it a perfect mid-meal type sake. The acidity is impressive in a good way. This acidity tightens the entire taste and gives it a sharpness that is enjoyable.

I came across a badass sake. Kitayuki "Hikari" Junmai Daiginjo Centrifuged Sake Long Aged Sake from Kitayuki Shuzo in Sado, Niigata Prefecture. What's great about it is everything is great. The aroma is fruity, reminiscent of mango and yellow peach. As soon as you put it in your mouth, the flavor spreads like this, and the flavor disappears beautifully. Moreover, it is a long matured undiluted sake. According to what I heard, it had been asleep for 4 years. However, there is no sense of aging at all. Is it really aged for a long time? I doubt it. It is said that it is a completely treasured sake that was put to sleep as a hobby of the chairman of Hokusetsu, Mr. Hazama. It was very expensive, but it was enough to make me feel the value of the sake. When will we next see a sake that can give us such an experience?

Today's sake is Futaragi Junmai Satin from Maruishi Jozo in Aichi Prefecture. The rice polishing ratio is 70%, the alcohol level is 13 degrees, and the specs such as the sake rice, the sake degree and the acidity are not disclosed. By the way, some websites say that the sake rice is Banzai rice, but we don't know if it's correct... By the way, the cultivation of the Banzai rice was stopped for a while, but the Okazaki city in Aichi prefecture reissued it. The back label says, "Those who chase two rabbits will not get two rabbits. We made the best balance of two contradictory tastes. This is the description. When poured into a glass, a fruity sweet and sour fruit aroma tickles the nose. The flavor spreads in the mouth, while the aroma in the nose is smoky. The aftertaste is clean, but rather than being dry, it gives the impression of a lingering finish that disappears nicely. I thought I could keep drinking it because of the light taste and the low alcohol content, but then I realized it was only 500ml and it was gone. LOL! It was a new sake experience for me. The label on the back of the bottle is an excellent introduction to the ministry.

This is a summer ginjo of Mutsu Hassen from Hachinohe Shuzo in Aomori Prefecture. The sake rice is Hanabuki Snow from Aomori Prefecture, the rice polishing ratio is 55% koji rice and 60% kake rice, the sake degree is -6.0, the acidity is 1.6, and the alcohol degree is 14 degrees. (Each figure is taken from the internet) The first thing that catches the eye is the cool blue bottle. From its appearance, it makes you think of summer. The taste is also refreshing and typical of summer sake. It has acidity and a slightly dry aftertaste. We thought it would be better to drink it chilled, so we served it in a copper sake cup, which has a high thermal conductivity. I'd like to drink it again when it gets hotter, but I wonder if I'll have it in stock until then...

I've skipped posting for a while... 😨 The other day, I drank a bottle of Gangi Junmai Ginjo Mafiltered Raw Sake No.2 from Yahya Shin Shuzo in Yamaguchi Prefecture. The other day I was at the Tobu Department Store in Ikebukuro and the brewer was there selling it in the store so I bought some 😊. The sake rice is Yamadanishiki, the rice polishing ratio is 50%, and the alcohol content is 17%. The brewer said, "It is a smooth sake with a lot of aroma that fills your mouth. The aroma is gentle like steamed rice. When you hold it in your mouth, you can feel the fullness of the umami. In the aftertaste, the bitterness tightens the whole, giving the impression of a tangy dry taste. Immediately after the bottle was pulled, it was fresh, but after a few days, it became calm. If anything, I prefer the latter.

Today, we have Shinomine Yamahai Jikomi Junmai Unfiltered Raw Sake from Chiyo Shuzo in Nara Prefecture. This sake is brewed with Seto Omachi from Akaban. Yamahai✕ Omachi✕ Nama-Genshuu is supposed to have a punchy and heavy taste, but it has a nice acidity that tightens up the aftertaste and makes it taste rather refreshing. I never get tired of drinking Yamahai✕ Omachi✕ undiluted sake... It really does disappoint in a good way. It's too hard to describe the taste in words. It's just too hard to describe in words, so I'll just say this: "It's really good and you should try it if you get the chance. That's the only way I can describe it... I'm sorry I can't tell you well😢⤵️⤵️.

Today, we have a Tenbi Junmai Ginjo from Choshu Shuzo in Yamaguchi Prefecture. It has an elegant upward aroma. The aroma is gentle, clean and fruity. This impression remains unchanged in the mouth, and the elegance is maintained. In the aftertaste, the umami naturally disappears, and a little spiciness is also visible. The elegance remains intact until the end. It was a bottle that reminded me once again of the potential of sake. By the way, the picture of the glass looks like it is slightly fizzy, but you can hardly feel the slight fizziness. LOL!

Today we have a Zanzo Horai Junmai Ginjo Tamba Naozume Nama Genshu Queeen from Oyako Shuzo in Kanagawa Prefecture. The initial aroma is fruity, reminiscent of banana, white peach, or rose. In the mouth, you don't feel the sweetness as much as the aroma, but the understated flavor of the rice makes you feel elegant in a good way. There is no sticky sweetness, and the aftertaste is refreshing. It's just so beautiful.

Today we are going to try Junmai Nigori from Kirinzan Sake Brewery in Niigata Prefecture. When you think of Kirinzan, you think of Niigata Danrei Dry Sake. I think it's a major sake, but this is the first time they've released a cloudy sake. When you put it in the glass, you can feel the sludge and it's very thick. When you put it in your mouth, the flavor typical of muddy sake spreads. I thought for a moment that it might be a little different from the image of Kirinzan, which is light and dry. I thought for a moment that it was, but I soon realized that I was wrong. The umami that had spread in my mouth quickly disappeared and the spiciness came into its own. After all, Kirinzan's sake does not betray its dry taste. It is said to be seasonal, but this muddled sake makes me think that it would be great to be able to drink it anytime.

YOKOYAMA Junmai Ginjo Nama Sake silver from Shigeya Shuzo in Nagasaki Prefecture. The brewery was closed from 1990 to 2017, but resumed sake brewing in 2018 on Iki Island in Nagasaki Prefecture. I️ had it with cold sake because it was a raw sake. The fruity aroma like white peach and banana makes you expect more. In the mouth, you can feel the elegant sweetness and the aftertaste slowly fades away. It was a very pleasant Junmai Ginjo with a clean and fine sweetness. I think this sake can be recommended to sake beginners.

It is a sake of Yamagata Prefecture Tatenokawa Shuzo. TATENOKAWA SHUZOH is the brewer of all Junmai Daiginjo which is rare in the whole country. It is too much. This time we had time, so we drank it cold, warmed up, or hot. The aroma of the cold sake is almost imperceptible. However, when you put it in your mouth, the flavor spreads, and the flavor disappears quickly down your throat, making it very easy to drink‼️The aftertaste has a bitterness that, combined with the tingling sensation you feel directly on your tongue, tightens the whole thing up. Kamikan has a mild aroma that can be detected. In the mouth, it tastes like barley and rice. As with the cold sake, the tingling sensation on the tongue tightens the aftertaste. When heated, the aroma reminds you of freshly cooked rice. Like the aroma, the flavor of the rice spreads through the palate, and the tingling sensation I felt with the cold sake has disappeared. The aftertaste is short, and the aftertaste is more refreshing. It is a sake that is delicious at any temperature and complements the food.

Sake from Itakura Shuzo in Shimane Prefecture. They use a sake brewing rice called Sakanishiki from Okuizumo in Shimane Prefecture. I've never had this rice before, so I asked my Google teacher about it. →The name is Sakanishiki. It has a rich and full flavor, and tends to be soft to drink. The maternal line is the improved Hachihanryu and the paternal line is Kinmon Nishiki. When you try it, the taste is exactly as it should be. The gentle and pleasant aroma and the deliciousness of the rice are in good balance and harmony. I was able to continue drinking it without getting bored. I was told by the sake shop that it is also recommended to be served hot. So I heated it up, and it became crisp and dry. It's good in this way. One sake can be enjoyed twice. I couldn't stop drinking it, and it was gone before I could enjoy it warmed up... lol! Next time, I️ will have it warmed up.

This is Hanatomo from Miyoshino Brewery in Nara Prefecture. It is the first time for me to drink the sake made by Mizumoto. It is the first time for me to drink this sake. The impact of the flavor and acidity is amazing! I️ think it's more like plum wine than sake. I'm not sure if I like it or not, but personally I do. It's not a sake to be drunk all the time. It's not the type of sake you can drink all the time, but rather the type you can enjoy slowly and comfortably.

Shizuku" by Kuroryu Shuzo in Fukui Prefecture. I️ finally met the sake I've been longing for. They release the sake only twice a year, in June and October or November. That's why it's so hard to meet them...it makes sense! I was so excited that I didn't even take a picture... I don't even remember the taste. Anyway, it was beautiful and easy to drink, that's all I remember... I'll have to remember it next time I see him...

This is a sake from Toyama Prefecture's Takazawa Sake Brewery. I've seen aged Junmai Daiginjo sake, but I don't think I've seen aged namaishu before... Even though it's aged, it doesn't give you that old sake feeling. It must have been carefully aged at low temperature. The aroma is gentle, and the flavor spreads in the mouth, and the flavor disappears comfortably. Umami‼️.

Faint fruity aroma. The tingling sensation typical of new sake can be felt directly on the tongue. The umami and acidity are nice, and it is a little dry. It is the type of sake that you can't help but drink more of.
