I received this army label last year and it got me hooked on purple air, and I visited the brewery for a tour during GW, and it brought back memories of walking down the straight road in the rice fields from the station. I am sure they must have gone through a lot of hardship to brew sake in the freezing cold during this season, and I am grateful to them for that. The cork was as hard as ever to open... 😓. It has a fruity and juicy flavor of grapes, strawberry-like berryiness, and ripe melon, with a sweet center, and acidity and a bit of bitterness to tighten up the taste. It was as delicious as ever. Thanks for the treat😄.

The taste is fresh and cool, as is typical of nama-shu, soft on the palate with a clear, crisp flavor that conveys the umami of the rice. The sweetness is subdued, with a strong sense of umami and bitterness, giving the impression of being slightly dry. The aroma is quite subdued with hints of grape and pineapple. The alcohol taste was a bit strong. Overall, it was a refreshing and clean sake. It was a treat 😋.

I remember that I enjoyed Fukui Prefecture's sake such as Kuroryu and Bon when I drank them outside. This was my first time to drink at home and my first time to drink Hakuryu. It has a juicy aroma like apple or pineapple and a good alcohol content. The taste was sweet and umami, and the acidity and bitterness tightened up the flavor. As the name says "rice," it was a delicious sake with the full flavor of rice 👍Thank you for the treat 😋.

Following the orikarami nama-sake, we received the hi-ire version. The bottles are the same, and the only difference in appearance is whether or not there is a nama-shu sticker on the bottle. This sake also has a fruity flavor like grapes, but the fruity aroma is a bit weaker and I could detect a little graininess, woody aroma, and alcohol. The taste was juicy, with a bit more sweetness, acidity, and bitterness than the ogara-mi nama-shu, but the ogara-mi nama-shu had a more gorgeous aroma and a stronger umami flavor of rice. I preferred the ogara-mi nama-shu, but both were very tasty.

Yamawa Shuzoten (Yamawa and Washigakuni) and Shinzawa Shuzoten (Hakurakusei and Atago no Matsu) collaborated to brew this limited edition sake, which has been released every New Year at alternating breweries since 2019, and is now in its 7th year. I first had the 2024 version brewed by Yamawa Sake Brewery last year and personally liked it so much that I purchased both the draft and fire-aged versions of the 2025 version brewed by Shinzawa Sake Brewery. Last year's bottle was a beautiful blue bottle, and this year's is also a cool bottle with a luxurious feel. We started with the nama sake. It has a sweet fruity aroma reminiscent of purple grapes (like Delaware) and a freshness unique to nama-shu. The taste had an excellent balance of sweetness, acidity, bitterness, and umami, with a particularly delicious sweetness and umami from the rice. I felt a slight tingling alcohol sensation, but after a day, it became more relaxed. I am looking forward to the fire-brewed version.

Hi Zuoton, ☀️ I had a Yamawasei recommended to me by a liquor store 2 years ago and it was delicious 😋 I thought the one from last year was rather dry! This year we have also purchased both the fresh and fire-brewed sake 🫡I'm looking forward to it now 😊♪

Good evening, Tsubu-chan! I also had the fire-brewed one afterwards 😋 They were both delicious, but I preferred the raw sake more 😁 I look forward to your review, Tsubu-chan 😁.

I have been looking for Sakuta for a long time, but could not find it. The first liquor store I went to had it and I bought it immediately😍. The fruity sweet aroma of banana and melon was elegant, and I also detected grain and woody aromas. Before drinking it, I assumed it would be sweet and juicy, but surprisingly it has a dry, clean, crisp taste, with a touch of alcohol, bitterness, and acidity, and the sweetness is weak. I think it is a sake that brings out the best taste as a food sake. It went extremely well with grilled fish. We enjoyed it very much...thank you for the meal 😋.

Hello Zuoton 😊 I had a sakuda the other day and I thought it was a bit different from my image of "sakuda" which has a sharp, Aomori-style taste and a delicious rice flavor. Maybe they changed their line 🤔.

This sake was sent to my parents' house by a relative who lives in Niigata. It has a very gorgeous fruity aroma like ripe pineapple, sweet and slightly sour, juicy yet crisp. Thanks for the treat 😋.

It had a subtle aroma of watermelon and melon, and the taste was dry, refreshing, and light. I have been drinking fruity and sweet sake recently, but sometimes I like this kind of light and dry sake. It's a pity that it had a slight mirin-like flavor, perhaps due to poor storage conditions... 😂. Thanks for the treat 😋.

This sake was given to me by an acquaintance when I went back to my parents' house. This is the first time I have had it. The aroma was gorgeous, as is typical of daiginjos, with a pineapple aroma. It was juicy and rich, with just the right amount of sweetness, bitterness, and acidity. Thank you very much for the sake.

Purchased at a liquor store near my parents' home. This sake has a refreshing aroma that reminds one of melon, and a clean aftertaste. It is a slightly dry sake with a hint of acidity, umami, and alcohol, and is not too sweet. We enjoyed it deliciously â Thank you for the meal 😋.

Happy New Year! I hope to continue posting this year, enjoying your posts and thankful for the opportunity to enjoy healthy drinking myself! I have had 寫楽 a few times when drinking out, but this is my first time drinking it at home. It is a bit cloudy with a hint of ogoromi. The aroma is fruity and sweet, with a strong aroma of isoamyl acetate, like banana-flavored sweets. The taste is mainly sweet, and it is a very easy-drinking sake with a sweet flavor. Thank you for the treat 😄.

Fudo was recommended to me by my favorite liquor store. It was my first time to try it. There were several types of Fudo, but I bought the Omachi because of my personal preference. It is also known as Fudo Purple. The label has a strong impact. The aroma is fruity and juicy like strawberries, melon, and pears, and the creamy sweet aroma is gorgeous. The flavor is rich and full, with a sweetness, umami, and bitterness that is typical of Omachi, and the acidity is moderate. It was a delicious sake that was very easy to drink...a treat 😋.

I do not know the details of the flattened rice polishing or the micro-bubble rice washing method, but I was expecting that this sake must have been brewed by carefully pre-treating the rice used to make it. The aroma is fruity, like ripe bananas and green melon, with a hint of citrus. It also has a tangy, gaseous taste. The sweetness is moderate and the acidity and bitterness are a bit strong, but due to the low alcohol content, it is light and has a clean aftertaste. As expected, it was a very tasty sake with no cloying taste. Thank you very much for the sake.

I bought this for my own souvenirs from Nakano Shuzo and drank it at home. The Junmai Ginjo had a slightly more floral aroma than the Junmai Sake, with a fruity aroma like strawberry syrup or red meat melon, and a vanilla-like sweet aroma. The taste was well-balanced with sweetness, beautiful acidity, and a good amount of bitterness in the accent. The overall impression was of a strong flavor. It was also very tasty. Thank you for the treat 😋.

On my first visit to Oita, I took a short trip to visit Nakano Sake Brewery in Kitsuki City (I forgot to take a picture of the brewery 😭). (I forgot to take a picture of the brewery...😭) Even though our timing was just in time with a group of Westerners, they were very courteous and even allowed us to taste the sake. I bought a small bottle of Chiebito, which is hard to find outside of the local area, for myself, as a souvenir, and for drinking with my evening drink during my stay in Oita. The aroma was subtle, with a ripe, fruity aroma like red melon or mango, not too sweet or acidic, with just the right amount of bitterness and umami. Thank you for the sake.

After the special junmai, we continued with the junmai ginjo. It had a melon-like slightly fruity aroma and a traditional sake alcohol taste. The mouthfeel was sweeter than the special junmai, with umami and a slight bitterness. It was a treat!

This was my first visit to Oita. First, we stopped in Hita to enjoy freshly brewed beer at the Sapporo Beer Hita factory, and then visited the brewery, Kuncho Sake Brewery. The brewery has a museum where old sake brewing tools are on display and can be viewed at your leisure. We purchased two small bottles to drink at the inn, and after a relaxing evening soak in the hot spring, we opened the special junmai first. It was dry and refreshing, with a slight yogurt-like fermentation and alcohol taste. It also had the feel of traditional sake. It was a treat 😄.

We visited a sake brewery in Ome for a tour. The brewery has a long history, having been founded in the Genroku period (1688-1704), the time when the Ako Ronin were killed in battle. The tour of the brewery is mainly focused on the storage warehouse, but the building has a nice atmosphere with mud walls. Across from the brewery is a corner where visitors can sample sake for a fee, and at the time of our visit there were about 13 different kinds available. I had three kinds of sake: Houou, Hiyoroshi, and Souten Nama-zake, and I bought a small bottle of Souten Nama-zake, which I liked, at the liquor store next to the brewery. It had a melon and watermelon-like aroma and alcohol taste, with sweetness, bitterness, and umami a little stronger, and the acidity trailing behind. It had a fruity vibe due to the sake's freshness, but overall it also had the flavor of traditional sake. It was a treat 😊.

It is a nigori sake with an alcohol content of 6 degrees. They use white koji that produces a lot of citric acid for the koji mold, and they also put in three times the usual amount of koji mold. In addition to the lactic acid bacteria drink, yogurt, and citrus-like aroma, there is also a strong aroma of rice. It has a creamy, milky mouthfeel with a very strong acidity and sweetness. It felt like a doburoku with a stronger acidity. It is more like a gulp than a swig. The creamy flavor would certainly go well with spicy food. Thank you very much for the meal 😊.
