6/10 Today is Yamamoto Kai. We compared Yamamoto's color-themed series, which has become a very popular brand. This one has almost the same specifications as Pure Black, but uses white malted rice for the tome. It has a sourness derived from citric acid and a little sweetness. So this sweet and sourness expresses strawberries. The second half had a dry impression, making it an interesting sake.

6/10 Today is Yamamoto Kai. We compared Yamamoto's color-themed series, which has become a very popular brand. It has the same specifications as Pure Black except for the yeast, "Komachi Yeast R-5" is used. It is said to have a milder finish than Pure Black, but this one is just as tasty. It has a bit of a blueberry taste to it.

The most delicious of the modern type (?) was this one. It is a fruity sake made from 55% polished rice of Kame-no-o. It was fresh and well-balanced with good acidity.

7/10 Today is Yamamoto Kai. We compared Yamamoto's color-themed series, which has become a very popular brand. We started with Pure Black. It is now a standard. I wonder if it is made from Akita Sake Komachi. It has a grapefruit and banana aroma. It was a well-balanced sake, rather heavy, but it finishes with a nice kick.

6/10 I wondered what a "kinjo" was, but it seems to be a brand of rice from Ishikawa Prefecture. And it is a kijoshu. This is the first time I have tasted Kijoshu from Yoshida Kurau. It is a fresh sweet sake with a sherry-like taste. It has a good flavor, but it tastes somewhat bland.

6/10 Banshu Issen's standard series. Junmai spec using Hyogo Kitanishiki. It is not as spicy as the name "super-hot," and can be drunk in a variety of situations. The taste is firm and acidic. I drank it cold this time, but I would have preferred it at room temperature.

5/10 This is a series of sake that is matured in oak barrels, which began as a crowdfunding project. It is a sake made with wine yeast, which is already a type of rice wine. It has a strong sweetness and a vanilla aroma. This is certainly not sake. It is better to think of it as a new genre of sake. It seems that there are different tastes.

7/10 First Viridian in a while. This is a 13% sake made with Misato Nishiki. No, I don't think so, but it was very spicy. I wonder what it is. Like cardamom. I don't know. But it was really spicy. The taste of sake is like a test, so if this was a spice flavor, I'd be able to raise the bar.

6/10 I'm kind of a seasonal sake drinker for Senkyoku. It is the top brand in the sake world in terms of branding to make people drink it for specific occasions. Marketing power is important. The taste was a bit subdued since it was an autumn sake, but it still had the typical sourness of Sengoku. The aroma was muscat. It had a sweetness that made it an easy-drinking sake. Thank you again for this year's sake.

7/10 Modern Omachi is absolutely delicious. This is no longer a standard sake. This is a light nigori type. Modern Sentori will be finished soon, so drink it while you still can. It has a gaseous and sweet taste, and you can enjoy its soda-like flavor. Basically, it is safe to drink because it has a base of acidity and fruitiness that is typical of Sentori. I am looking forward to the re-branding that will start soon!

7/10 This was also delicious. Unfiltered, raw sake made with Hitomebore from St. Second fermentation in the bottle, strong gassy sake with a crazy apple aroma. I thought it would be like a juice, but the bitterness in the latter half of the flavor stood out and I liked it a lot. Saint is a sake I would like to drink if I see it again.

8/10 Well, I'm happy to get the metaphysics, but I have no idea when to open it. It's too good to drink alone, and if I open it, I want to be particular about the food. I've been neglecting the Jikin saying, "I'm not going to drink it alone. I decided to bring it to a friend's party. It has a very gorgeous pineapple aroma. I thought it might be good if I let it sit for a while, but I couldn't bring it home from the party. In the end, all I can say about it is that it tends to be good. Of course, it was the most delicious.

8/10 Limited edition sake from Romain. Romanchu is a four-stage glutinous rice brewing process. The glutinous rice is saccharified by enzymes to make amazake during the unrefining period after the tome. (I am writing this for my own review...) This sake has a strong aroma, a fresh taste, and a delicious rice flavor. It's extremely tasty. It has a sweetness, of course, and it finishes with a crispness that simply makes you feel that the sake is of a high level.

9/10 I was delighted to get the origami version of my favorite Red Diamond! It took me 15 minutes to open the bottle because it felt so gassy. I was shocked by the deliciousness of this sake when I drank it for the first time 2 years ago. As the name suggests, it has a gorgeous and special flavor. It feels like drinking bubbles. The flavor and sweetness that is typical of Aizan spread out, and it was a truly happy tasting sake.

7/10 First time drinking Kamirai is a collaboration sake with Wadaya. This is a low-alcohol draft sake. This label was handwritten by the president of Miwa Shuzo. The aroma is rather complex, with a little sweetness and a hint of milk. The classic flavor is well balanced by the acidity of the sake's traditional sake making process.

5/10 Also from the Tsujun Brewery. Apparently it is made at 13 degrees Celsius to be drunk like wine. The malted rice is Yamadanishiki and the yeast is Kumamoto yeast. It certainly has a wine-like quality, but it also seems to be a little lackluster. It seems to be intended to be easy to drink for lunch. It is also good on the rocks in summer.

5/10 Sake from the Tsujun Shuzo brewery in Kumamoto Prefecture. Its name is Cicada. The sake is said to be aged in a cool place for a long time, just like cicada larvae in the soil. Kumamoto yeast is used. The taste is almost light and dry. The taste is clean and refreshing. In other words, it is not very assertive. The sense of maturity is subtle. I now wonder if it would have been better to drink it in a wine glass rather than a boar cup.

8/10 Finally, I've finished writing about my outing, so I'll move on to the home drinking I've been accumulating. First, we had Kamonishiki's sake. This one is a Bizen Omachi raw sake type. It was gassy, a bit thick, and had a great umami flavor. It was a bit exciting. The aroma was fresh, but when you drank it, it was full, delicate, and finally full-bodied, a very luxurious sake. I would like to drink it again!

8/10 Nice - autumn leaves label. The head-on design looks good. Kariho is a hiyaoroshi spec using Miyamanishiki. It has a mild flavor with a slight acidity because it is a hiyaoroshi, which means it is made from Yamahai (mountain waste) and furthermore hiyaoroshi. I thought it would be best to drink it at room temperature, but I drank it cold, which was a waste of time.

7/10 There are three types of cold-aged sake at Ryusei. Yamadanishiki, Omachi, and this Hachitan. I thought it was the Hachitan Nishiki, but it is Hachitan 35. I have not compared them, so I cannot tell the difference in taste, but I guess it was made as a relatively dry type. I think it's a good balance of a dry sake with a cold sake-like quality. Yamadanishiki would be a bit more rounded. How about Omachi? I would like to try it.
