A 2 year old Beaumichel was unearthed.
I was surprised to see that it was still very healthy and effervescent. It was mainly sweet but low in alcohol and gone in one night.

Shinshu Secret Sake Hanpukai 2024 Gold Course
Rather bitter. Nice that it's stable over time.

Rumored NeXT. conceptually I definitely like this one better, but I was disappointed by the lack of the usual petiteness.
I want to push the low-al route, but I want the petit petit feeling to continue.

The juiciness has calmed down a bit.
As usual, the acidity is well balanced, making it a fun sake to drink.

The problem of Hachikan Nishiki in Hanayo is too bitter...I don't have to force myself to buy it anymore.
What's wrong with it? I think it's changing around the time they started offering premium.

Shinshu Secret Sake Hanpukai 2024 Gold Course
Of course, it's Tsukiyoshi's and it's delicious, but it's made like it's for a sake competition and doesn't have much character.

This time I headed to the brewery knowing that I couldn't buy sake at the brewery, so it was nice to be able to drink it here.
However, I understand Sogape, but this one is also 1,500 yen for 1 sake...

To be honest, I don't think I've ever had sogape anywhere but here.
It's 1,500 yen per glass, but oh well.

It is made as expected every year. I don't know why it disappears in an instant...

Another year of petite spring sake🌸
Sometimes Kangiku has a harsh sweetness, but this one has a clear sourness, so I like it because it has a perfect balance.

Comet that I was able to buy again this year.
A gentle yet slightly cemedine aroma.
Rice sweetness with pleasant acidity and a hint of alcohol.
I look forward to drinking this one after some time has passed 😋.

After some time, the cemedine settles down, but it's getting more acidic.

Pleasant fruit-scented mouthfeel and a bitter taste at the end. Delicious 😋.

Oh, hey. What's up?

My first impression was of Masanochi's Nakadori.
I was shocked that this was fire-aged. The flavor was so pleasant that it was gone in an instant.
The 750ml bottle was also a welcome surprise.

Our Kaze no Mori is back!
I don't know if this is Bodo yeast, but the recent Kaze no Mori was too bananas strong and uncomfortable, but this one is hard drinking and fizzy. It's my favorite Kaze no Mori. 🌪️

Waxy metallic-ness from the fruitiness. Nice and pleasant to drink all the way through.

Oh, I'm already a fan of Tsukiyoshino.
Following Hana, Sora is another masterpiece.
Fruit juicy clean body. I love the sharpness of this one.
I'll be there on the third Saturday next month 🏃.

It was made in 2023.12, so it's been laid down for a long time...
The bitterness is rather bitter. The final taste has a strange nuance, though it has the umami of Miyamanishiki.

Rumored reimported sparkling sake.
Locally, it seems to be made by Takara Shuzo in the U.S., but this is manufactured by Takara Shuzo in Japan.
The body is sharp and clean, as is typical of wine yeast. Personally, I think it could be more carbonated.
It's nice to be able to drink sparkling sake in this size, but I hope it's not another 100 yen cheaper...lol!
And I'd like to try the American version 😌.
