It's been a while since I've been out for a drink!
All you can drink as much as you like on our usual course 😆.
Let's start with this!
The manager, dry is his first drink!
（I like sweet.)
A new brand of Koshino-Kanbai
It is a new brand of Koshino-Kanbai and is called "Amane".
(I can never read it 😅)
(I can never read it😅)
Gohyakumangoku 55% polished, 14% alcohol by volume
It has a delicate taste with a refined softness that is not dry.
It has a delicate taste with an elegant softness that is not too dry.
It goes well with sashimi.
It is said that this sake was designed as a "first sake", and the taste made us think so. ☺️

GW is over and the summer sake season is in. ‼️
I bought a new brand from Tenbi.
I bought a bottle of "Hotaru" (blue) after "Shirokuro Momoyuki Aka" (spicy).
Koji rice: Saito no Shizuku, Kake rice: Yamadanishiki 60% polished
Low alcohol content of 13 degrees Celsius.
The sound of opening the bottle is mf and boujuju~ppon ♫
It's in good spirits 😃.
Microbubbles 🫧 at that bottom of the glass
The top aroma foretells sweet and juicy
aroma like honey apple
When you drink it
With a fresh and crisp taste
sweet and juicy as expected.
It also has a lactic acidity.
I thought it was more dry after the change of master brewer, but this one was quite sweet and tasty, and it betrayed my expectations in a good way 😁.
I think it's a bit "strong" for a summer sake, but it was quite tasty 😋.
Japanese>English
ひなはなママ
Good evening, ymdaz!
I also got this Hotaru Ten GET here: ✌️
It looks pretty sweet and tasty, and the review made me look forward to drinking it: ❣️
I'm glad I bought it🙌 I'm still waiting my turn for a while until it's ready to go 🤣.

Home liquor store I haven't been to in a while.
I was drawn to Sanzu and Sogape.
but the manager, who knows I like Akabu's seasonal sake
He told me that this one was in stock.
I bought this one: ❗️
Among Akabu's seasonal sake
AIR is the lightest of all Akabu's seasonal sake.
60% polished domestic rice, 12% alcohol by volume.
Lowest alcohol in a long time. ❗️
The opening sound is mf and jupon ♫
White smoke too 💨
A little microbubbles in the glass 🫧.
The aroma is rumney 🥰.
It makes me want to drink it in a big gulp!
In the mouth
It has a fresh, chili pepper taste and a sweet and sour taste
sweet and sour taste like a juice.
This light feeling is just like AIR😆.
I can gobble it up after all!
When the temperature rises a little, the chili taste goes down.
and the bitterness also comes out...
I finally remembered that it was sake 🤣.
Good weather for GW!
Wisteria flower (pic4) and AIR is the best choice ‼️👍

I can't stop loving the three mountains 🩷.
When I saw the announcement of the restocking of Jun Dai Yamane Nishiki, I immediately bought it ❗️
Unexpectedly, we compared Aizan ♥️ and Yamane Nishiki🩷 with Yamasan Jundai 😃.
I already know it's delicious from the start 🩷vs.
♥️ at its peak after the bottle was opened and the hardness had been loosened.
The 🩷 is 45% polished Yamae-Nishiki, 15% alc.
The plastic cover is removed and the crown is opened.
The opening sound is the same as the last time, f... ♫
The white smoke rises and it's exciting ☺️
Inside the glass is a micro bubble in no time 🫧.
The difference between pic4 and ♥️ is obvious!
The upper aroma is muscat - green apple 🍏.
Nice aroma 🥰.
The 🩷 is the impression of dry cider as before
Fresh acidity with a touch of gas and just the right amount of sweetness is exquisite 😍.
Just the right amount of sweetness is exquisite 😍.
The last one is a bit bitter and sharp.
It's so good I want to keep drinking it, but since we have Aizan ♥️, I'd like to compare!
It's been 6 days since I opened the bottle of ♥️ and it's still gassy 👏.
The taste has changed to sweetness of honey apple.
The impression of acidity, which was strong at first, is now apricot-like.
The bitterness in the last part is still the same.
If you go back to ♥️, you will find that it seems "thinner"...(♥️ is not half as good as 🙂↕️)
I'm not sure which review I'm referring to.
Yamae Nishiki if you want to drink it right away
Aizan is definitely better if you drink it slowly
So which one is it?
You should buy both ‼️
Japanese>English
ひなはなママ
Good evening, ymdaz!
This is an enviable drinking experience 🤩Thanks for the very informative review 🤩I'm even more eager to drink Aizan ❤️ 👍I'd love to get some ‼️ but there's no distributor near me 😱.

My senior at work who went to see cherry blossoms in Takato
bought a small bottle of 300ml as a souvenir!
This is a brand new to me!
50% polished domestic rice, 15% alcohol by volume
Twist the aluminum cap tightly.
The sound of opening the bottle is silent.
Pour it into a flat sake cup and drink it.
Oh, it's so delicious. ☺️
A clear mouthfeel with a moderately sweet milky aroma
It has a nice sweet milky aroma.
The taste is not too sweet, but not too sweet.
The taste is orthodox.
Easy to drink with a nice sweet aroma like amazake, but the taste is orthodox, so this can be drunk alone or even during a meal...
I found another delicious Nagano sake!
Japanese>English
ymdaz
What shall I do for the 555th number?
I was thinking about it when I found a notice that Yamazan's Aizan was in stock at ❗️ 💡.
I went the next day (weekday) and there were only 3 bottles left!
Maybe it's getting more popular💦.
This one is 2,640 yen, which is expensive for Yamazan!
Maybe it's because it's a pure Dai Aizan.
The bright red label looks like Aizan? ❤️
Aizan from Hyogo Prefecture, 45% polished, 16% alcohol by volume
When you remove the plastic cover and open the crown
The sound of opening the bottle is f de pon ♫
Microbubbles 🫧 when poured into a glass
The top aroma is very nice 🥰.
It has a citrusy aroma reminiscent of green apple and sourness, but also a little bit like a sake yeast.
When you put it in your mouth
Slightly? Unlike the aroma, it has a sweet taste.
...No, it is still mainly sourness. ❗️
As soon as you think that, umami spreads from both sides of the tongue, and is quickly broken by a clear bitterness.
Well done ‼️
Aizan→Converting the expectation of sweetness, this sake has a refreshing daiginjo-like aroma, but it also has nuances of umami, and is delicious in a way that is typical of Yamazan.
While there is a desire to continue drinking,
On the other hand, I have a feeling that it will become even better after a few days.
I'm looking forward to drinking it tomorrow and beyond, so I'm going to hold out with just 1 gou today!
On pic.4, I added a cherry blossom I saw at a mountain climbing I did the other day to celebrate the "Zoro-me" mark.
I added some cherry blossoms that I saw on a mountain hike the other day.
Keep your eyes peeled for more of the mountain three 👀‼️

Thank you, Pon-chan 😊.
I had a strong impression of Nagano rice, so it was a surprise to me too!
The second day was also suddenly very energetic and the sound of the bottle opening was "Ponk ♫".
I think it's rather dry for Aizan 🤔.
I'll try it again once I've had some other sake in between!

Four days after opening the bottle, it still turned out to be a monster. ‼️

This year's dancyu's sake feature got me interested in sake.
I tried it for the first time!
60% polished 60% Tamakae from Nagahama, Shiga Prefecture, 15% alcohol by volume
The opening sound is mf and boujuju ♫
Surprisingly healthy.
The top-tasting aroma is not so much ginjo aroma, but a little twangy alcohol aroma.
A little twangy alcohol aroma.
When you drink it
Oh, this one is round, rich, and has a thick umami flavor.
It has a heavy and solid taste. ❗️
Mild but assertive acidity.
A little bit of astringency in the last part is like a wooden vat.
I thought this is not my usual wine glass.
I immediately changed it to a flat sake cup and drank it again.
This one is still better.
I drank it with meat and potatoes.
I drank it with meat and potatoes, and it matched with Japanese food with strong taste.
It's different from light and modern sake
It's been a long time since I've tasted such a robust sake 😃.
I'll try it heated next time 😃‼️

I saw a catacana/tacatillo I'd never had before, so I bought it (how many varieties are there 🤔)
Ipponjime 65% polished rice (flat polished rice) from Uonuma, Niigata Prefecture, 12% alcohol.
When you twist the aluminum cap, the sound of opening the bottle is silent.
Still, microbubbles 🫧 when pouring into a glass.
The aroma is citrusy 🍋.
The taste is sweet, sour and refreshing 😍.
The low alcohol-like mouthfeel is very easy to drink.
The balance of sourness and sweetness is just like honey lemon 🍯🍋.
The slight bitterness in the last taste is also 🍋-like
It reminds me a little bit of Beaumichel's. It's a light drink and it's so good!
It will be gone in no time 🤣.

Just when you thought the cherry blossoms in Tokyo were in full bloom
But it has been raining and it is cold and flowery.
I can't go out for hanami-sake because of this...
I decided to enjoy Hanami with Hanami (pic4) and Sake with Sake!
So I went to the nearest liquor store.
There it was ✨Yamasan✨!
I'm going to drink it at home right away 😃.
Kinmon-Nishiki 55% polished, 15% alcohol by volume
The sound of opening the bottle is "f" and "ponk ♫".
It is fine with smoke ❗️
The top aroma is muscat and rummy.
First impression on the palate is clean ❗️
Sweetness is there too.
But the freshness with a hint of chili overrides it.
The acidity has a modern flavor, but it's more clear.
but it is much clearer.
There is almost no bitterness or pungency.
It's easy to drink and you'll be drunk before you know it 😅.
It's a dangerous type😅.
In short, Yamazan is delicious 🤣.

My favorite of Akabu's sake rice series.
(I heard it's properly called the elegance series 😅)
I've been waiting for it for so long that I was wondering if it would be released this year...
I got so tired of waiting for it, but
I got the information that it is finally in stock.
I bought a bottle of Akabu's Sake Mirai.
But when I looked at last year's record, I found that we drank it on almost the same day 🤣.
Well, I'll get back on track.
Sake future 50% polished, 15% alcohol
When the plastic cover is removed and the crown is opened
The sound of the bottle opening is a long tone of "f" ♫
Good aroma from the mouth of the bottle as soon as it is opened ♫ ☺️
The top aroma is of gorgeous honey apple and melon.
Slightly malted rice flavor.
The moment you take a sip
As soon as you take a sip, the rich sweetness of Jyushiyo swells up.
The acidity, which is typical of nama-zake, tightens it up.
The last thing that remains is a slight bitterness.
This year's version is also very tasty and brings tears to my eyes 😍✨.
I've been drinking Akabu mainly as a light seasonal sake (Limited series to be exact), but compared to that, this one is a darker style with a distinct sweetness.
It's quite a different line and impressively close to Shinshu Kamerei.
I guess that's what the future of sake is all about 🤔.
I'm glad I could drink it again this year: ‼️

I stopped by to reserve a certain brand.
Home liquor store
They said, "We have sogapé."

Domaine Ikedalot was hard.
I wondered if I should let it sit for 6 months, but I opened it right away 😆.
I opened it right away 😆.
59% polished Miyamanishiki from Nagano, 15% alcohol by volume.
When I popped the cork, there was no ginjo aroma.
It has the usual aroma of sourness and a little bit of a zing from the yeast yeast yeast.
The taste is...
Sourness is the main taste.
It tastes like a white wine.
It tastes like a white wine, but has a thicker flavor with umami like a sake yeast
Yes, this is what Sogape should be like!
It was the right choice to drink it without letting it rest. ❗️
The label on the back says
The 2024 Miyamanishiki was very troubled.
and the back label says
I grinned and said, "I'm glad to hear it!
After a few days
I'm sure it will have a honey-like sweetness.

Yamadanishiki produced in Nara prefecture, 13% alc.

The top-tasting aroma is not flashy, but melon.
There is also a slight twangy aroma.
In the mouth, there is a strong sweetness and a deep acidity.
And a little bit of chili.
I don't feel the wood vat so much.
Maybe the water is characteristic.
It has a strong taste but the mouthfeel is clear.
But there is a sense of transparency on the palate.
And yet the sweetness lingers for a long time.
I drank it smoothly because of the low alcohol content 😆.

Home liquor store that I couldn't get to because I've been busy with a lot of things.
I will definitely buy something! I decided to visit for the first time in a long time!
There were some tempting spring sakes, but
but I decided on this modern Yamahai sake, which I had never tried before.
Ishikawamon 60% polished, 13% alcohol by volume
The sound of the bottle opening was a "f"-spong ♫
Smoke also appeared 💨
Microbubbles appear immediately after pouring into a glass 🫧.
As expected of a raw sake 👍
The aroma is like rumney or muscat.
Modern Yamahai has a really nice aroma!
The temperature is a little high because I drink it right after I bring it home.
When I drink it, the sweetness is open well.
It has a thick sourness and a sweetness that is typical of Modern Yamahai! The thick acidity, which is typical of Modern Yamahai, and the fresh acidity of Nama-zake go well together.
The fresh acidity of the unpasteurized sake combines with the thick acidity that is typical of modern Yamahai sake.
As expected, it is very good!
I really like Modern Yamahai!

The cuisine was full of crab 🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀.
We also chose Shimane's local sake 😊.
Yamadanishiki 45% polished, 16% alcohol
Mild sweetness and firm rice flavor.
Little ginjo aroma and mild acidity
Good sharpness, which is the taste of San-in region's sake.
It does not disturb delicate dishes like crab even if you drink it as a mealtime sake, eat crab, drink it again, eat crab again... and repeat.
The synergistic effect of the deliciousness made us happy and the night in Shimane was over 😆.
