酒記「しゅき」
Impressions after just opening the bottle. A low-alcohol sake with an alcohol content of 12 degrees. When poured, it is slightly bubbly and slightly effervescent in the glass. The aroma is quite delicate or almost nonexistent. It has a slight muscat flavor... The first thing that surprised me when I drank it was the image that it was a "sake yeast yeast" of the "sake yeast" type. The first thing that surprised me when I drank it was the image that it was a "sake brewer's sake". It is a sake with a subtractive effect, as if it has been stripped of its uselessness. I felt the lightness and the deliciousness of the rice, as if it was wrapped in air. Immediately after pouring it into a glass, there is a slight chili sensation that slightly irritates the tongue, After a while, the chili sensation disappears, but the aftertaste is like the taste of rice that is well polished and transparent. The drinking experience is similar to that of soda water. It is amazing that you do not feel any alcohol at all. Airiness → chili sensation → slight acidity → rice flavor The umami is beautiful yet energetic, like the clarity you feel at the top of a mountain or a clear glass artwork without a single cloud. This is the kind of sake I want you to drink, which is difficult to convey. Sake is often compared to the aroma and taste of fruit, but this is a sake that is all about water and rice, and there is no way to describe it. It is like the wind when you hit the target in Kyudo (Japanese archery). It is refined. I like the simplicity of the menu, although it seems to be good with any ingredients.

酒記「しゅき」
Taste right out of the refrigerator. Premium rummy, ginjo aroma with a juicy fruit vibe. Tears slowly fall as you turn the glass. Proof of a concentrated, sweet sake. Sweetness -> umami and momentary bitterness -> refreshing and crisp. The sweetness is soft and the juicy umami spreads despite the light mouthfeel. The deliciousness of Omachi bursts forth with a refreshing acidity and a refreshing aftertaste. It is very elegant in spite of its dressing. It has a rich volume, refreshing acidity, sharpness, and a sweetness like cotton candy, but it is not too sweet and can be drunk easily. It is a sake to be drunk well chilled. Even when chilled, the aroma is still high. It is easy to drink with little alcohol. A pale, white Trintin in a gorgeous dress. Compared to Nakakumi and Kwang Suisen, it is less fruity, and you can taste the sweetness and umami of the rice. It is said to have a spicy aroma, but the fragrant ginjo aroma, freshly squeezed alcohol, and bouncing alcohol make it seem that way. I would rather enjoy this on its own than pair it with anything else. Serve with white fish sashimi and fruity dishes. A raw salad with carrots, plums, and olive oil would be good. Or maybe a sweet and spicy stew.

酒記「しゅき」
Purchased on the recommendation of my regular liquor store. It seems to be a sake that has been aged in the brewer's refrigerator after being fire-aged. The aroma has a hint of volatile alcohol and the glamorous and mellow aroma of red grapes. The aroma is quiet, but it is pinpointed with this scent. The taste is very calm and crisp with a juicy mouthfeel. I have the impression that the aroma is better at room temperature than chilled, and the flavor comes out well. The way it is made, leaving a gaseous and slightly effervescent taste, is nothing short of amazing. Juwak -> umami -> bitterness -> alcohol -> bitterness The end of the drink is clear, light, and astringent. It is calm for an unfiltered unpasteurized sake, but you can taste the fresh flavor and the roundness and umami that has developed after the bottle has been aged for a while. It gives the impression of the astringency and bitterness of smelling dead leaves just after the leaves have fallen from the trees, an expression of autumn. The astringency, like bitterness and pungency, is a very mature taste. It is slightly amber because it has been aged. Thanks to the aging process, it has become an "dirty" sake that can be served with robust food. It is better to drink with miso dishes than salt dishes. Miso grilled mushrooms, miso grilled autumn salmon, mackerel miso, miso stew, and miso soup. Mackerel miso, miso stew, etc,

We had it at the restaurant. The aroma is pineapple, tropical fruit, and mango combined with yogurt. It gives the impression of a sweet, juicy liquor even before you drink it. The taste is a peachy, juicy flavor that spreads on the tongue from the crisp acidity and freshness. It is smooth and silky on the palate, with a hint of milkyness. The sweetness, acidity, and umami stimulate the tongue in that order. The umami is followed by a hint of bitterness. The sake is as the label says: pink and vibrant. I would like to drink it with a glass of wine. I would rather enjoy it by itself than with a meal. It would go well with sweet and salty dishes like cream cheese on crackers.

Usually fresh out of the refrigerator. The aroma is subdued. It would be better to drink it in a wine glass. Slight muscat aroma like young banana. Not very assertive, but refined. It is very light and easy to drink, but you can taste the umami. The name "Mujin" suggests that it is an honest sake with no frills. It is clear but has a refined sweetness with a core of rice. The taste is light and refreshing? The taste is from light to robust umami and piquant acidity. If I were to compare it to a woman, it would be like a young lady who takes classical piano and swimming lessons at a nice place in the countryside. I think it is the best sake for a meal. The sake is not the star of the show, but a full complement to the meal. The chili, juicy sweetness and lingering aroma at the end of the drink are irresistible. I think it would be a mistake to pair it with any meal, but since I found the sake to be delicious at near room temperature, I think it would be perfect with warm food. It would be great in a grated radish stew, buri daikon, steamed dishes, etc... It would also go well with Italian cuisine. I recommend it to those who drink it long and in small sips, as the taste increases after opening the mouth. I think it is rare to find a sake that is not so flat. Usually, it has a little bit of a bad side, but...

The aroma is clear. Ginjo aroma like green apple. The aroma is gentle. Slightly gentle aroma. The taste is of green apple, pear, and muscat fruits. It is fruity and sweetness can be felt on the tongue. The sweetness is like cotton candy and the aftertaste is pleasantly refreshing. Sweetness transfers like cider without carbonation and a refreshing aftertaste. The mouthfeel is watery, but when you put it in your mouth, the sizzling sweetness shows up and it feels smooth. Sweetness, alcohol taste, sweetness, juiciness, and a refreshing aftertaste. The alcohol by itself is very satisfying. It is a bottle that is surely made for hot summer days. I honestly felt that pairing was difficult. Rather than oily ingredients, I would prefer a light dish with summer vegetables, such as ratatouille or ponzu (Japanese citrus juice). Personally, I prefer the taste of rice in a glass rather than fresh out of the refrigerator.

From -5°C fresh out of the refrigerator. The aroma is milky like vanilla and refreshing like pear. It is recommended to drink on the rocks, but we first tried it straight. It is light and refreshing. It is light and refreshing, partly because the alcohol content is 6°C. The taste is directly sweet with a hint of sourness. The end of the drink is refreshing. It has a refreshing citric acidity and a fruity sweetness of red apples. As the temperature rises, the sweetness and acidity become more pronounced. Some people compare it to Calpis, but it is more like Ambasa's Sour White. It goes well with chicken. I paired it with a chicken steak that I had put some hori-shi on. Best with spices, salt and chicken. Nice fatty meat.

Chasers and Capsicums. A summer tradition. Senkori rhinoceros beetle. The smell is fresh like the usual Sentori and the green grass with morning dew in the morning. The taste is, needless to say, delicious. The acidity is sharp like a lemon. It is a good combination of clear and fresh. It is as light to drink as spring water. It is a lively and exciting sake. This year's sake has a more refreshing acidity than usual. It is best to drink it well chilled. It has acidity and natural sweetness, with a hint of citrus or lemongrass-like herbs. I think it is best to pair it with appetizers. If you want to pair it with sashimi, try white fish with skin and salt. Shellfish would also be good. It would also go great with cold appetizers. Sourness✖︎ acidity, sweet chili sauce, and takoyaki sauce would also be very tasty.

Aroma is light. Sweetness and acidity of ripe melon and ripe pineapple. The mouthfeel is refreshing. The taste is like water down the throat. However, the sweetness and acidity spread the flavor. The sourness stimulates the mouth. The end of the drink is refreshing. In a good sense, nothing is left behind. It is hard to feel the sense of alcohol. It is ideal for drinking on a hot summer day. It is best to drink it cooled down to a crisp. As the temperature drops, the sweetness and acidity blossom. It has a polished taste with no quirks. It is a refreshing and crisp summer sake. It is good with fried food. It is also good with refreshing food, but I prefer it with a little fat.

After 3 days. The mouthfeel became smoother. The sweetness has also increased. When the cork was opened, there was internal pressure, so the sake was active. The image of this sake is likely to change considerably if it is allowed to air dry.

My impression after drinking all of it in about 2 days of opening the bottle. The fresh, clean feeling of a glass of sparkling water tickles the nostrils. There is also a slight atmosphere of freshly cooked rice. The aroma is quite delicate and thin. Sweetness comes through. There is a complex aroma like bitterness mixed in, but the aroma does not rise. The palate is clear, with a full, round sweetness like red apple juice and pineapple syrup from a can. The sweetness is delicate, and the lively, squiffy carbonation is very nice. You can fully enjoy the acidity and umami without any alcohol taste. The complex bitterness at the end of drinking is also a nice accent. The volume is very high. Sourness → sweetness → refreshing alcohol volatility and slight bitterness. It does not feel like you are drinking alcohol because of the acidity in the alcohol volatility. A classy rice juice for adults. It is a bottle where you can feel the power of rice and the strength of unfiltered, unpasteurized, unpasteurized sake. I paired it with umani (fried bamboo shoots). I think it goes well with Japanese dishes with a refreshing taste.

Hanaeup inherits the genes of the 14th generation. Jyushiyo is Jyushiyo, Hanayuup is Hanayuup. Even though there is technical guidance, the nuances of both Seki's sake can be felt clearly. The aroma that rises from the bottle is clear and has a good ginjo aroma. The aroma itself has little fruity sweetness, but it is refreshing and clean. The volatile alcohol is not harsh, and the peach and pear juices are gently felt. The mouthfeel is smooth and comfortable on the tongue. Sourness and sweetness like red apples and white peaches appear. The alcohol is also well pronounced, leaving a delicious sweetness that lingers in the mouth after the drink is finished. It is juicy and rich, but not too sweet, and very well-balanced. The umami of Setsugetsuka Junmai Daiginjo can be felt as a nuance, but Hana Yuu is easier to drink and more suitable for a mealtime sake. The freshness of the sake can be felt. The lively yeast flavor is suppressed. It is juicy and round, yet it is refreshing and leaves a nice aroma and sweetness without lingering aftertaste. It can be easily matched with all kinds of foods, Japanese, Western, and Chinese. It is best when paired with foods that have a strong flavor. I paired it with stir-fried tomatoes, anchovies, and vegetables, but the sake did not overpower it at all. It is a sake that makes you happy if you have it at home.

The aroma of light white peaches and delicious, polished rice aroma. The mouthfeel is smooth and full of natural sweetness like Wasanbon. It has a sugar-like sweetness and a syrup-like sensation. There is no juiciness like fruit when drinking. Sweetness, acidity, and fizziness in the mouth. The overall balance is good, and the taste is full and round, yet sharp and full-bodied. The sweetness seeps out slowly at the end of drinking. The aroma is of fresh white peaches, but the sweetness on the tongue and the aroma through the nose after the finish is like lotion. The rich, caramel-like bitterness and sweetness are addictive. It does not cling to the tongue and settles down with a nice aftertaste. The flavor makes you think it has been aged for years. Great satisfaction. The sizzling umami is great even though it is 50% polished rice, It has a direct flavor like a full-bodied wine, so it goes well with dishes with strong flavors. Today I had it with wok-fried egg and grilled mackerel.

We received sake that was about 4 days old from the time it was opened. The aroma is elegant. Aroma of Pione and Kyoho grape juice. The aroma itself is light, but it is the aroma of a single fruit. The mouthfeel is light and fruity. Although it is unfiltered raw sake, there is little gasiness. It is a sharp, lively and light sake. The coolness and a hint of sweetness are enjoyable. It has the fine texture of a junmai daiginjo and a very elegant nose-pleasing aroma at the end of drinking. This is a new sake made from rice called Comet from Hokkaido. It went very well with sushi. The sushi restaurant here uses red vinegar, so there was a nice combination of mild red vinegar acidity and smart acidity. Modern but light and smart. Clear, light and subtly grapey. No lingering aftertaste clear and balanced.

Naturals sake lees are reused and re-fermented in a by-product recycling style. The smell immediately after opening the mouth is faint and difficult to describe. The smell immediately after opening the mouth is thin and difficult to describe, but it has the smell of rice just after milling and a mild aroma of lactic acid bacteria. The taste is like Pocari Sweat without the sugar. It is easy to drink because of its low alcohol content (10%), but it has little umami, acidity, and sweetness, so I felt it was a sake that I could not like. However, It had a completely different aroma and taste from the first saké, and it had turned into a sweet and sour saké, which is SENKYO's specialty. The aroma was fresh and natural, like plum blossoms. The taste is clear acidity and a hint of sweetness. A sweet and sour fruitiness was born. The taste is clearly different from that immediately after opening the bottle, and I felt that I should leave it a little longer before drinking. It has a natural taste that permeates the body. It tastes sweet and sour like apricot. I have the impression that it goes well with steamed food.

Sour lactic acidity and a fresh strawberry-like aroma. A luxurious sake only available at this time of year. When you put it in your mouth, you will feel a fizzy and bubbly sensation. Next comes sweetness and sourness like strawberry syrup. The mouthfeel is mild. Delicious. Immediately after opening the bottle, the sourness prevails over the sweetness. When I drank it two days after opening the bottle, I felt the sweetness prevailed. This time I bought a four-pack bottle, but you can also enjoy the passage of time with a one-pack bottle! There is a lot of lees in the bottle, but it is not so thick. It is milky and yet smooth. It is like silk. The sweetness is strong, but not too strong. It is very similar to the sweetness of strawberry compote. The alcohol content is low at 10%, making it easy to drink. After-dinner drink. Goes well with spicy food. This time, we paired it with fried gizzards with curry powder. It was a great match, just like curry and lassi go well together. Personally, I love sweet sake, so it was irresistibly delicious. I will definitely repeat the experience.

Sweet and fresh fruit aroma. It is the aroma of Jyushiyo. The nose is a mixture of pineapple, muscatel, lychee, and other fruits that tickle the nostrils and are irresistible. It also has the fresh and lively aroma of fresh sake. There is no lactic acid smell of yogurt. In the mouth, the delicious melon juice, lychee freshness, and pineapple acidity flow over the tongue. Refreshing yet round and profound. The gassy and matured depth of flavor is irresistible. You don't feel the alcohol that volatilizes in the mouth. What remains is deliciousness and freshness. I want to drink more. I paired it with albacore ponzu. It was great.

The smell is a combination of smoky, sugared yogurt from a wooden vat. The aroma is thin and faint. The aroma is somewhat dusty, gentle, rounded and polite. The flavor is also gently juicy. It tastes like drinking high-sugar grape and banana juice. The woody smell peculiar to sake yeast is not bothersome, and the acidity, umami, and sweetness continue. It is a well-balanced sake. It is not bitter, but you can taste the sweet peel of the fruit like a peculiar astringent peel. The acidity and mildness of the lactic acidity is combined with the umami of the fruit. It is Shinmasa's sake that can be drunk like water, but Ecru has a rounded image. There is also a slight sense of gas. I don't feel any alcohol at all, so I think I can drink three bottles without any problems.

The smell on the palate is a clean, thin, acidic lychee. The aroma is thin but very elegant and noble. The taste is sweet with no aftertaste. The sweetness and gaseousness of the first attack disappear as soon as it passes down the throat, leaving behind a delicious watery taste. It is a dry sake, but very gentle. It is like drinking a morning dewdrop of reishi. Clear and delicious. It has a wild flavor, like the sweetness of rice mixed with the fragrance of ears of rice. It is best when paired with dishes that have a sour taste. It is also great with ponzu, tomatoes, vinegared chicken wings, and light chicken. I had the low-temperature cooked chicken breast with ponzu sauce mixed with green onion and grated maple leaf.

Sharp aroma. Juicy smell with fresh moisture, with a hint of pear. It is smooth and easy to drink like water. A bottle will be empty in no time. It has a sweetness and a refreshing taste when drunk without any habits. The aftertaste is small and does not linger in the mouth. The alcohol content of 16% does not make you believe that it is pleasant to drink. It is ideal as a food sake. No wonder it is so popular and hard to buy. It is one of the driest of all Tobiroki sake, with a moderate aroma that makes it easy to pair with food. It goes well with fatty fish, fried foods, and dishes with strong umami. In fact, it goes with everything. I paired it with cold yellowtail with garlic slices and soy sauce. The light sweetness is great. Thanks to the liquor store I always go to. A week after opening, the smell changed from pear to melon. The flavor has rounded out and is now at the heart of the melon. Little by little, the corners are coming off and I am enjoying the change in taste.

Everyone loves Nabeshima. Everyone loves Purple Label. It is not the smell of a specific fruit, but it is fruity. The smell of Sembikikiya, or the smell of various fruits comes out. It reminded me of peaches and young mangoes. The taste has a profound flavor with moderate acidity. The spread of umami and volume like when eating grapes. The impression is that the umami is stronger than the sweetness. A soft, kneaded fluid that can be felt on the tongue. While many sakes are alcoholic first, Nabeshima has a wonderful overall balance. It can be enjoyed before or during a meal. I paired it with seared octopus and it was absolutely delicious.
