I was able to leave work almost on time. I went to a liquor store on my way home. The waiter recommended this one among the three that I saw. I selected this one! Tokushima Ken Aizan 50% polished, 15% alcohol Only two breweries sell this Aizan. Kangiku always has a cool label! When the aluminum cover is removed and the crown is opened, the sound of the bottle being opened is "mf", which is a spontaneous sound. The sound of the bottle being opened is a mf and it is a single flame brewing. When you pour it into a glass, there are a lot of small bubbles at the bottom 🫧. The top aroma is of honey apple 🍎. The fruity aroma has a bit of malted rice behind it. It's sweet and tasty and fresh ✨. It's gorgeous but also has a refreshing feeling. The finish is a bit bitter. It makes you want to drink another cup. I like this level of balance. When the temperature rises, you can feel the lactic acidity unexpectedly. The taste was typical of Kangiku that did not betray my expectations.

August, the month of drinking and drinking in the mountains, has come to an end. September, a day when we felt a hint of autumn in the air. I went to my home liquor store to have a hiyaoroshi for a change... I went to my home liquor store... But I couldn't find anything that caught my attention... Instead, I tried Gakki, which I haven't had in a while. Banshu Yamadanishiki 60% polished, 15% alcohol Gakky's specialty is a mixed brew with 94% Banshu Yamadanishiki. While I was twisting the aluminum cap, I heard the sound of the bottle being opened. The bottle was opened with a "psssssss" sound! The top aroma is of rummy muscat with a hint of banana🍌 lurking in the background. banana lurking in the depths of the rummy-muscat aroma. When you drink it, you'll see that it's indeed a Nakadori ❗️ The rich sweetness and gorgeous ginjo aroma are superb 😋. There is a fig-like nuance in the sweetness. In addition The freshness of the freshly opened bottle It has a freshness with a bit of a chili flavor There is also a good amount of bitterness. The balance of sweetness, flavor, acidity, and bitterness is excellent 👏. It is full of the deliciousness that is typical of Gakky. I am glad I bought this bottle 😊.

Last but not least! With these words, we were served the first Tenbi in a long time: ❗️ It had been a while since Mr. Fujioka left us! I was a bit curious to try the Shin Ten ‼️ 60% polished domestic rice, 15% alcohol by volume A customer requested a sweet sake. I thought it would be dry, but when I drank it, I found it to be No, no, it was surprisingly not spicy and easy to drink. Is it really dry? It was so good that I thought it was really dry. It's not bad with the fat from the toro taku at the end of the meal 👍. It was a good night of enjoying the combination of good food and sake 😉.

I asked him if he had any requests. I asked for sweet sake. I asked for a sweet taste, and what came out was Bida, which I have not had in a long time. It is indeed straight from the middle! 50% polished Yamadanishiki, 16-17% alcohol by volume. This sweet fruity sake is just as you would expect. served with grilled chicken, eggplant and tomatoes. I am in a good mood and my stomach is filling up nicely. ☺️

The last is Hobo Masu. Homasu from the Kikuchi River basin, 13% alc. The sound of the bottle opening is also f... ♫ Vigorous! When poured into a glass, it is full of bubbles 🫧. The top-tasting aroma is rummy, citrus + apricot sweetness with a nice freshness lurking in the yeast. The taste is not only fresh and sour, but also sweet and sour than expected! This has a lot of flavor 😆. The last taste is short and pleasantly bitter. The last part is short and pleasant bitterness, and the sweetness is squeezed out. It leaves an impression of greefiness. General review: ❗️ Maybe it was my preconceived notion that Yamadanishiki was sweeter than Homasu, or maybe it was because it had been six months since it was produced, but the sweetness was on top of the clarity of Homasu, which I thought was transparent, and the flavor shone through ✨. The No.1 this time was Hozasu 👏.

There is almost no color and it is clear. The aroma has a rummy, earthy feel and...what is it? I thought it would have a strong lactic acidity, but surprisingly, it didn't. I wondered if it was a little chemical? I thought it would be the sweetest, but it is surprisingly clear! Of course it is delicious, But this time, the impression of Yamada-Nishiki might be different...

Following kazamatsuri August is the month of sambudo We drank our stock of Sanzo in one gulp: ‼️ We compared three different types of sansho. Yamada-Nishiki and Hozu are both five-ninoh brews. Kako is only a four-ninoh brew So the conditions should be pretty even. Yamadanishiki is produced in March, Kako in February, and Homasu in January. I removed the plastic cover and put my hand on the crown one after the other. The sound of the opening of each bottle was a "spank! Kako is the most energetic among them. The bottle was opened almost automatically just by removing the cover. Kako is also the best in terms of the fineness of the bubbles. So, let's start with the first one, Kako. Kako from the Kikuchi River basin, 13% alcohol by volume When poured into a glass, it is full of fine bubbles. The color is a little bright yellow. This is a light nigori. The nose is rummy and citrusy, but a little heavy. The taste is fresh acidity with a hint of sweetness. There is a unique grain aroma in the last, but it is not so strong. but not so strong. I wondered if there were more distinctive characteristics, but it wasn't that much... But it's not that strong........

Good morning, ymdaz 😃. Nice view of the comparison of 3 different sakes with different rice for sanshu sake: ☺️ I agree with you that August is the month of sanshu, and the feeling of gas fits the intense heat 🍾.

Hi Aladdin 😃 I wanted to do a sake rice comparison since I think these three are all the sake rice we have at the moment. The August Sansho is the best, but if we compared them a little earlier, we might have been able to see more of the differences between the sake rice 😅.

I've been following it since its release. I heard that a new summer version of HOMASA is coming out. I got it for sure 😆. Hozasu from the Kikuchi River basin in Kumamoto Prefecture, 13% alcohol by volume. When I took off the plastic cover and opened the crown The sound of opening the bottle is "f de pon" (‼️) Pour it into a glass and the bubbles boil at once 🫧. The top-tasting aroma is a koji-like koji yeast with a strong greefiness. The gas pops in the mouth. The mouthfeel is fresh. ‼️ The mouthfeel with thick acidity that is typical for a koji yeast yeast. THE summer sake The acidity and bitterness are the main flavors, and the sweetness is reserved. The taste is clean with little fullness like Hozu. The taste is clean and refreshing. As the temperature rises, the sweetness that had been hidden came out after a while. I drank it with sukiyaki. It cut through the fat of the beef so quickly both of which were delicious😊.

When the crown is opened, the sound of mf spon ♫ The top aroma is apricot A little bit of honey too 🍯. When you drink it, the first impression is freshness ❗️ The acidity is impressive, with a slight chilliness. After that, there is a rather strong sweetness. It has a strong flavor among Akabu's seasonal sake. As the temperature rises, the sweetness comes to the fore. the sweetness comes to the fore and the taste becomes clearer.

The commemorative Niimasa sake was super light. I wanted to drink something with a robust flavor I went on to the forbidden fourth glass 🥹. Normally, I would have chosen Jyushiyo, But there was Asahitaka, which I had never drunk before. Try ‼️ As soon as I drank it, I was like 😳 The sweetness was solid. The aroma is definitely from the Jyushiyo lineage. I can feel a little bit of alkaloids. but it's more than enough, more than enough delicious ♫ Like the Jyushidai It is not like pushing the limits of sweetness and acidity like the Jyushiyo. It is a "delicious" sake that can be drunk with peace of mind. If this is the only sake you have ever had If you have only had this one, you might want to try Jyushiyo at least once. If you have already had Jyushiyo this is more than enough for everyday drinking. It was a good sake that left a good impression on me. ☺️ Because of the forbidden fourth drink I was dizzy from the heat and drunkenness I was dizzy from drunkenness and heat. 😵‍💫

Next, the third glass is a modified Shinko. This one is the No. 6 yeast that we know as Shinsei. I suddenly noticed something, The color of the label for this 170th anniversary sake, Rikuu 132 is earth brown and "Koukou-Shinko" is the pink of cosmos. Maybe it's from 🤔. This is a wooden vat made of Akita cedar produced by Shinsei. Koudou-Shinko 30% polished, 13% alcohol by volume When I drank it, Wow, it's so light 😳! Super lightweight! Sourness is what you feel the moment it passes your lips. Sourness in the mouth and the wooden vat. This is also a really delicate taste that is typical of Shinsei. If you drink this after a strong-flavored sake it may feel almost like water. (If you want to compare them, I recommend you to drink Koudou-Shinkou first, and then Rikuu.) I was lucky to get an unexpected Shinsei 😊.

Then I'll have that ❗️" I was waiting to see if it was a turtle or what. I was not expecting this 😳! It was a set of sake commemorating the 170th anniversary of the company's founding: ‼️ Amazing selection as always 🫢. First of all Rikuu 132, 35% polished, 13% alcohol by volume It says "no additive yeast", but isn't it rare to find a Shinsei that doesn't use No. 6 yeast? I drank it thinking Wow, this is 😲! It's aggressive. ❗️ Sourness, sourness, sourness & wooden vat ‼️ A little astringency And a hint of sweetness. The acidity is not sour or chili. It is a pleasant, mild and firm acidity from the sake yeast. But the taste is not classical. I don't know what it is. I'm sure this is what sake is supposed to be like It was the kind of taste that makes you think 😊.

I was sweating while walking 10 minutes from the station to the restaurant💦. I've decided to drink three 1.5 gos of sake at lunchtime. I wanted to say 🍺 first, but I held back. The first drink, as usual... What's that? No Shinsei today? "No, not today." Gahn ❗️😨 Here's what I chose after regaining my composure! 55% polished domestic rice, 16% alcohol by volume. Aroma: pineapple🍍. The taste is sweet and sweet, but surprisingly sour ❗️ It has a refreshing taste with a little bitterness. Compared to other junmai daiginjos I've had It lacks a bit of flamboyance, but but it tastes like Hanayuyo. Potato salad with squid Salted squid Asari tsukudani (tsukudani is a food boiled in soy sauce and sweetened with asari clam) It was a satisfying first drink as a substitute for Shinsei. ☺️

Kamitatekoso is a mild sake with a mild sake yeast base. When you sip it... it's still delicious 😋. The sweetness that is typical of cosmos is there. There is a little residual gas and enough acidity. It's not gorgeous and not juicy. The aroma of the wooden vat and the sake brewer's yeast is very Shinsei-like and really delicious. ❗️ As the temperature goes up, the sweetness comes out. It is also delicious!

Too hot as soon as the rainy season ends🥵. If you want to drink sake, it's gassed ❗️ I'll drink it right after I buy it ‼️ The label is kind of chalet for a tasake 😁. It's 55% polished Hanafukiyuki, 15% alcohol by volume. Sake level is -4 and acidity is 2.5 Twist the aluminum cap tightly. The sizzle rushes up to the bottle mouth. I closed the cap in a hurry and closed it😅 After opening the bottle and pouring it into a glass, it's full of bubbles! The bubbles are pretty big for the name 🤣. The bubbles don't come one after the other. The bubbles don't come one after the other, but have a good momentum at the beginning. It's different from secondary fermentation in the bottle. 
The top aroma is still apple. When I drank it, I was surprised to find it was not too sweet for its sake content. Surprisingly dry and not too sweet for the sake level. The acidity is clear because there is so much gas. The citric acidity from the white yeast rice is also effective. There is a bitterness as well. This goes well with anything 😆. It's light for a 14% alcohol content. You'll be drinking it before you know it.... I think it is good to drink with gas in summer 😘‼️

Recommended Sake by Home Sake Shop Representative The highest rated sake out of 1,000 entries in the SAKE COMPETITION 2024. Although it is a regular product, the 720ml version is a limited edition. Made with 55% polished Akita sake rice (koji rice) and 58% polished hanged rice (kake rice), 16% alcohol by volume. When the aluminum cap is twisted tight, the opening sound is silent. The top-tasting aroma is of honey apple. Mild sweetness and umami in the mouth. There is a moderate acidity after the first sip. The mouthfeel is smooth and clear. It has a sweet taste at first, but it is surprisingly dry. The last taste is a distinct bitterness that finishes off the palate. Considering the price of 1,540 yen, it is well made. I guess restaurants must be grateful for it. I agree (as expected, "conscience" 🤔) However, from an individual drinker's point of view, although the cost performance is good, I would like to have more high level drinks even if the price is higher. I would choose a higher level sake even if the price is higher... I'm not sure if I'd choose it... I was thinking that the more I drank it on the second and third days, the more the flavor came through and the more delicious it became. I think this aspect of the sake is also suitable for restaurants 😉.
