Fateful encounter with a guess sake 😊. We had it at the place where we stayed during our training 🍶. The first day of opening the bottle. The appearance is beautiful with a warm, light cloudy appearance. The aroma is soft and fresh, with a hint of sweetness. It is accompanied by a gentle woodiness, an astringency like grape skins, and a fresh sweetness like freshly cut pears. The whey aroma creates softness. The rice aroma is soft, with a hint of white dumplings. The firm sweetness of the rice spreads with a soft acidity. There is no sense of overdoing it at all, and the juiciness is extremely modest. From there, the flow of umami, which gives a good sense of fullness, disappears with a light stimulation that passes through to the nose. The lingering aftertaste is a sense of looseness that lingers on the nose and a beautifully tightened astringent taste on the tongue. The third day after opening the bottle. The aroma has not changed much. On the palate, in addition to the sweetness with a clear rice flavor, there is a refreshing acidity that spreads quickly. The refreshing and stimulating flow from the back of the throat to the nose is pleasantly intoxicating, and the soft umami of the rice with fullness is also very pleasing. The finish is clean, with a moderate lingering aftertaste and a bitter astringency. Oh, it is delicious. ☺️ You can tell that the brewer put a lot of thought into this sake 🍶. I really wish more people would drink this kind of sake.

Good morning, Hiro 😃. My first visit to Yajima Sake Brewery was very intoxicating as I had an unexpected encounter with Denemon, one of the recommended sakes: ☺️ If you don't think about it, it's easy to drink, but if you think about it and explore it, it's a very interesting sake 🍶.

アラジン

Good morning, Jay & Nobby 😃. Echigo Den'emon is a one-operator brewery with a small distribution volume and a limited number of stores that carry it, so it's hard to find it 😌. It's also intoxicating to drink while imagining the brewer's aim and looking for various elements 😊.

I was in Kanto for a short stay for work training. I took advantage of this opportunity to visit the Yajima Sake Shop in Chiba, which I had always wanted to visit. I was able to enjoy some sake that is hard to find in my daily environment 🍶. Please forgive me if the picture looks different from usual 🙇. The appearance is clear, almost transparent. The appearance is clear, almost transparent, with a slight gassy feeling with some bubbles after some time. The aroma is floral and fruity with a gentle sweetness and perfume-like nuances. Honey apple, ripe white grape, white peach and melon. The rice aroma, which is similar to that of white dumplings, is also relatively rich. The entry is firm and sweet. It has a rich sweetness reminiscent of fruit candy, and the acidity is quite gentle. The extremely soft and mellow sweetness spreads with a slight gasiness, and the sweet and gorgeous overtone is lush with a hint of manicured aroma. From the mid-palate, the sweetness is clear with a slight oily nuance. The bitter astringency is rather firm at the end and finishes off as it should. On the first day of opening the bottle, it was dark, gorgeous and glossy. On the fourth day of opening, the manicured aroma was gone, and the taste was more clear with a rich sweetness and a hint of acidity, accented by a beautiful astringency. I liked the more forward clarity of this day the best 😊.

Thanks for the training, Aladdin: ✨️ Business trips are the best chance to get sake that you normally can't get 🥰. I don't have any travel plans so far this year, but I'm planning to appeal to my company for self-improvement and see if I can go somewhere else 🤣.

Hi Gyve 😃. Whenever I get a business trip, I'm the first one to look for liquor stores that carry hard to find local alcohol 😁. This time I was there for a short stay, so I could do a lot of things like drinking with my colleagues where I was staying and checking the opening changes 🍶😊.

Hi Aladdin 🐦! I see you went to Yajima Sake Shop! I love it 😻It's probably more appealing than Disney 😆 and it's still Chiba sake, isn't it? Kangiku is also a hard brand to buy so I'm twice as envious 😻😻Got another good one✨.

Echigo Den'emon is brewed by the brewery's toji, Kouaoi Kato, alone. The label, the construction, the sake itself, everything is very interesting 🤔. One of my sake recommendations that makes me think that one day I will be able to drink a sake that makes my genes smile 🍶. By the way, vesicapaisis is the overlap of two identical circles when they are formed through their respective centers. In sacred geometry, it is the shape that means "the beginning of everything" 🤔. The appearance is a warm misty white with a hint of ochre. Fine gas bubbles dance in the haze. The aroma is gorgeous with a hint of gentleness. Aromas of pear and melon. It is round and refreshing. Rice aroma like freshly pounded rice cake. The sweetness is modest and present, with a sense of roundness and softness. The acidity that spreads with a soft gasiness has a refreshing and clean koji taste. The middle part of the flow contains a slight bitterness, and the disappearing sharpness is soft, and the lingering astringency is also intoxicating with complexity. I usually like sweet and umami, so although the direction is different, the taste of this wine is very delicious with a sense of solid structure 🥰. A cup that invites me, a lover of sweet and tasty, to a new door of taste: ☺️ I definitely want to try other VESICA PISCIS in the future! Thank you for the food 🍶.

Good morning, Gyve 😃. Personally, it's one of the drinks I'd like you all to try once 🍶😄. It is true that Taiji, which governs yin and yang, also has something to do with the primordial light 🤔. I would like to drink this sake while indulging in various thoughts 🍶 ☺️

Good morning, Hiro 😃. I too learned the concept of sacred geometry thanks to this sake 😄. I'm not sure if it can be helped by the production system, but the stores that carry it are too limited, so I haven't seen any 😥. It's especially tough for me as I'm basically a mail order NG 😥.

Good morning, bouken😃! I see that you have had Den-emon before! Currently, there are no stores in Kansai that carry it, so I managed to get it this time during my business trip to Tokyo: ☺️

It's been a while since I've had a standing drink at chuin sometime ③🍶. (This is a staggered post.) The last sake of the day was Jikin. Junmai Ginjo Hachitan Nishiki Nama 🍶. The appearance is crystal with a pale yellow tinge. The aroma is fruity with a noble impression. Sweet aroma of pineapple, unripe green apple, and candy. There is also a slight sense of refreshing coolness. Rice aroma is about the same as that of Kamishinko to Shiratama dumplings. The taste is modest and beautifully sweet, with a firm and refreshing acidity spreading through. The clean and clear umami spreads through the refreshing acidity. It spreads quickly and finishes crisply. The aftertaste is moderate. Jikin is still delicious. ☺️ It's a unique experience to be able to drink a little bit of various sakes, including ones you can't get by yourself 😊. Thank you for the food 🍶. By the way, the 4th photo is not sake, but my favorite beer lately 🍺. It's a craft beer from Yacho Brewing, sold at 7-Eleven, called Ariens Ariens. It is surprising that HAZY IPA is available for about 350 yen, but the quality is amazing! The fruity hop aroma is gorgeous and the juicy flavor with a Hazy tropical feel is irresistible 🍺. Highly recommended😊.

It's been a while since I've had a standing drink at sometime chuin (2) 🍶. (This is a staggered post.) Jigoku summer ginjo. This junmai ginjo summer sake is made from 100% "Celebration" 🌾 grapes from Kyoto, polished to a 60% rice polishing ratio, and brewed with "Kyo no Saki", a high malic acid producing yeast from the Kyoto yeast line 🍶. The appearance is nearly transparent with a very faint haze of slime. The aroma is mild, yet refreshing and sweet. Aromas of ripe melon and moderately ripe banana. The aroma is refreshing, like that of ramune. Aroma of rice with a hint of white dumplings. The palate has a smooth, round texture. It has a moderate sweetness and a tight acidity that spreads quickly. The firm umami spreads and flows smoothly and dryly, and is crisp and clean. The lingering finish is medium. Moderately intoxicating 🍶. I still like Towestone too 😊.

It's been a while since I've had a standing drink at sometime chuin (1) 🍶. (This is a staggered post.) True White by Kangiku. It is a Junmai Daiginjo brewed with Omachi rice polished to 50% and unfiltered. The appearance is crystal clear. The aroma is a gorgeous mixture of red ripe apples, white peaches, ripe melon, lychee, nearly overripe banana, and various other fruits, typical of Kangiku. The rice aroma is about the same as that of white dumplings. On the palate, the first attack is a firm sweetness. The first attack is a firm sweetness, which is followed by an acidity that is sweet and sour. The impression is clean and crisp, and the umami that flows through it is also firm. The final part of the wine is gradually bitter and sharp, with a long aftertaste. I still like Kangiku 😊. It is delicious! I didn't buy it for home drinking this year, but I kinda regretted it😅. It was drunk 🍶.

This is a "super", super Kudokutei, a Junmai Daiginjo-shu brewed with a luxuriously polished rice of Modified Shinkou🌾 up to 30% polishing ratio and released in a fresh, once-heated condition. Kairi Shinko is a rice variety bred in Akita Prefecture in 1959 as a secondary selection from Takananishiki. The appearance is nearly transparent, with a slight yellow tinge. The aroma is gorgeous with a hint of freshness. Gorgeous acacia aroma overflowing from the glass. Aromas of apple, white peach, and melon. Gentle and refreshing selfeil. Beautiful rice aroma of about Kamishin powder. Slightly tart texture. First touch of rich sweetness with juiciness. Mixed with acidity accompanied by freshness, it spreads quickly and becomes more juicy. From the mid-palate, while the wine is nicely and smoothly receding with a moderate rice flavor, there are subtle nuances of complexity such as very slight bitterness and astringency. The long, stringy, beautiful lingering finish is tightened by bitterness and astringency. Well, delicious😊. Gorgeously sweet, not overdone, just beautiful. The beautiful complexity that is glimpsed is the goodness of the improved Shin Kou. It was wonderful 😊. Thank you for the food 🍶.

Private brand sake from Suzuden, a specialty sake store in Yotsuya, Tokyo. It has a sweet isoamyl acetate aroma, a crisp yet robust taste, and a lively, effervescent nigori (sparkling wine) with a hint of gas. (Not enough words, so just my thoughts on the nigori!) The appearance is silky natural white. The bubbles pop with a lively gaseous sensation like carbonated water. The aroma is gentle and sweet. Aromas of ripe banana and melon. The sweet aroma of vinegar and iso-type aroma rises with the bouncing gas. The gentle refreshing element derived from the tailings is also a very intoxicating aroma. The round and firm rice aroma is like freshly pounded rice cake. It goes in smoothly, and the gasiness is stimulating, dancing in the mouth. The moderate sweetness and gentle acidity spread in a refreshingly dry manner. From the mid-palate, the refreshing taste of the rice is quickly quenched, while the robust flavor of the rice is also felt. The lingering aftertaste is medium short with sweet hints of aroma. Delicious 😊Love it 🫶. I love it 😦. I like it 🍶🍶. I'm sure you'll be happy with the results 🍶.

At a drinking party with some work-related people sometime ago (4) last. No notes on the tasting, just a log for the record 😅. Drinking party with colleagues who know each other well. I asked my colleague who liked Tohokuizumi to try Tetorigawa. It is a junmai sake "niji" from the origin series, which is close to the original, standard sake 🍶. The reason why some of the photos are out of focus is not because I was drunk, but because my coworkers, who are under the influence of alcohol and want to drink as soon as possible around here, are pressuring me to take photos as soon as possible 😅. The taste of the sake is just as expected, Tetorigawa. It's light and more modern than classic. It's light and more modern than classic. It's a good sake to drink with friends and family. I like Ishikawa's sakes because they are refreshing, but also have a nice flavor, so I would like to try them all again. It was another fun day of drunken drinking 🍶. Thanks for the food😊.

At a drinking party with some people from my office sometime ago (3) Of course I don't have any tasting notes, so this is a log for the record 😅. A drinking party with colleagues who know each other well. The organizer was considerate enough to choose a restaurant that serves Sake, so out of respect, I drank only Sake 🍶. (I didn't drink as much as the other sake drinkers at Sake no Wa 😄) After the third glass or so, everyone around us was in sake mode. I toasted again with a tokkuri of tohokuizumi (cold or at room temperature) to match my love of clear, dry sake 🍶. There is nothing more to say about this kind of sake, it's clear and dry, and you can taste the umami flavor of the rice. I love to drink sake by myself, but it is also intoxicating to drink sake from the same sake bottle with a group of friends, pouring and pouring while enjoying the same sake 🍶. I was able to experience the moment when sake, which brews harmony, really comes into its own! My colleague who was drinking with us liked it so much that he repeated the tokuri several times! It is a great pleasure for me to know that people like and enjoy drinking any kind of sake. ☺️

This is Kanazawa-ya from Kita no Hana Sake Brewery in Kitakata City, Fukushima Prefecture 🍶. The rice used is not stated on the label, but it seems to be Fukushima Prefecture's original rice called "Satoyama no Tsubu"! The aroma is mild, apparently using No. 9 series yeast. The taste is dry with a hint of sweetness, but it is also dry with a hint of spiciness 😅. When I drink with colleagues who know each other well, I am so distracted by talking and listening that it is difficult to do a precise tasting (or rather, to keep a concrete memory of the aroma and taste I felt at that time) 😌. I'm not sure I'm capable of doing this, but it was a drunken drink during a meal 🍶.

The organizer was very considerate and chose a restaurant that also has sake 🍶. So instead of beer, we chose Koei Kiku's first brand of the season, Noon Crescent 🍶 for the toast. I've been known to take pictures of the bottles when I drink sake, so everyone is very considerate and waits to toast until I'm done taking pictures😅. If you look at the 4th photo, you can see how active the gas is 🫧🫧🫧. It is unusual that the yeast used is Saga Hagakure yeast🦠, which is original to Saga Prefecture! Saga Hagakure yeast was first developed in 2023 with a pineapple-like aroma, and was later joined by other yeasts with pear-like and green apple-like aromas! I don't have tasting notes, so I can't give you a detailed report, but I can say that it was a very easy to drink sake! I can't report the details since I don't have tasting notes, but I can say that it was a very smooth and refreshing sake!

A test brew by Masamune Kikki, brewed with Fukushima Prefecture's original sake rice "Fukunoka" and performed in a refreshingly gorgeous way. The appearance is pale yellow crystal. The aroma is fresh and sweet. Grapefruit, white grapes, white peaches, sweet ripe melon, and young bananas with a titillating and fine stimulation. Aromatic and fragrant, like a perfume. Rice aroma like white dumplings and polished rice. Smooth on the palate. The first touch of sweetness is honest and firm. Stimulation of extremely fine gassiness that was not apparent on the exterior. Refreshing aromatic overtones, including fine acidity, spread with gentle and transparent acidity. Firm sweetness, transparent acidity, and gorgeous hints of aroma are just gorgeous. The clear umami flows smoothly and finishes nicely with a slight bitterness towards the end of the swallow. The lingering aftertaste is medium short with a hint of bitterness. On the second day after opening the bottle, the aroma settles down and the flavor seems to come together. The deep sweetness combined with fruity overtones is gorgeous. The light acidity accompanied by a gaseous sensation spreads a gentle sweetness and sourness, like first love. The pleasantly intoxicating overtone flows with a sense of transparency and sharpness. Quite intoxicating. ☺️ Delicious~☺️

The bottle was opened after about two years of ice aging! Pale yellow-green in appearance. The aroma is gentle, fresh and gorgeous. Freshly cut pears, green apples, young melons and green bananas. The coolness of fresh herbs. When the temperature rises, it has a rice aroma like freshly pounded rice cake. The texture is smooth and silky, with a very subtle gas-like sensation. From the moderate and beautiful sweetness, a refreshing and cool acidity spreads quickly and tickles the palate with the stimulation of the gaseous sensation. On the tongue, the modest sweetness is balanced by a clear, clean umami flavor, and then it quickly clears up. The finish is medium with a hint of fruity and rice aroma. On the fourth day after opening the bottle... 🍶. The aroma is more fruity, sweet and refreshing, and the rice aroma is more pronounced. On the palate, the sweetness has taken a step up in tone, clear yet firm. The fine chili-like sensation of gas and the cool, refreshing acidity are maintained, while the smooth sweetness is filled with a beautiful umami flavor. The rice flavor is typical of Hitogokki-chi in its umami. It leaves a slight bitterness and a slight astringency on the tongue with a tight aftertaste. I still like it. ☺️ Thank you for the treat 🍶.

Scattered acidity and a gaseous sparkle. The dryness that passes through the nose is also gorgeous. Even the umami when swallowed is beautiful, and the long aftertaste is beautiful. The fruity and gorgeous aroma and the wonderful aftertaste lasts for a long time, and you can be enchanted. Words may be unnecessary.

Fusano Kankiku壽限無50-Hazy Moon-純米大吟醸原酒生酒無濾過おりがらみ

Kangiku Meikozo's new product is an orikami sake brewed with Kotobukinmu. It has a fruity aroma typical of Kangiku and a lively gasiness. It has a modest and elegant sweetness, a refreshing dryness, and a good rice flavor with a hint of bitterness. It is a spring moon-viewing sake, named "Hazy Moon" or "Oborozuki" to compare its cloudy appearance to the hazy spring night sky. Jushikinmu is a sake brewing rice produced in Fukuoka Prefecture. The name comes from the name of a rakugo (traditional Japanese comic storytelling) story told by the breeder, who is a rakugo (comic storytelling) fan 😄. The appearance is a hazy, dark fog-like appearance with a light golden hue when orikara is used. The aroma is fresh and gorgeous, THE cold chrysanthemum. Freshly cut red apples🍎, fresh pears, young bananas. Floral white flowers. The rice aroma is about the size of a white dumpling. The taste has a refreshing gasiness. The sweetness is modest but elegant. There is a refreshing acidity. In the refreshing sweetness and acidity, the flavor of rice from the sake lees and a light bitterness can be felt, and together with the sweet and gorgeous hint of aroma, it is pleasantly intoxicating. It flows nicely with a refreshing dryness and finishes crisp and clean. The aftertaste is medium. I like it very much. ☺️

Good morning, Aladdin 😃. Juhikinmu is one that seems to meet our cold chrysanthemum challenge😅 😋I was going to bring it to you when I came across it 🤗. Aladdin's review made me want to try it even more: ‼️

アラジン

Hi, ma-ki 😃 Kangiku's Kotobukinmu was delicious ☺️ The problem with Kangiku is that each product is released once a year and then it's over, and it's hard to repeat 😅.

Japanese>English

アラジン

Hi Jay & Nobby 😃 I'm not sure at all, but I had the impression that Juhikinmu is more refreshing with a tighter bitterness of orikara compared to Matsuo Jugumisei 🤔. I'm looking forward to your chrysanthemum challenge 😁.

Hi Aladdin! I had a bottle of "Kangiku Jukinmu" myself and it was my favorite of the year so far 🥰. I'm wondering if I should reserve another bottle since they seem to still have some in stock 🤔.

アラジン

Hi Gyve, good evening 😃. I'm surprised that some stores still have Kangiku Kotobukinmoku in stock 😳I would definitely secure a bottle and age it 🌙😁. Recently Harushika has also released a sake brewed with Kotobukinmoku, and it would be interesting to compare the two: ☺️

I would like to drink a variety of Omi sake from Shiga Prefecture in the future, so I started with a Sandeshi I bought at a supermarket for ease. It is a special junmai Shiga Watabunejo Rokugo (No. 6) from Asajinou (Asajinou). Hirai Shoten, the brewer of Asajyu, is located in a shopping street and is really a "store"! The exterior is a slightly pale yellow-green crystal. The aroma is sweet and mild. Aromas of ripe melon and banana. Sweet and fresh aroma of beautiful koji rice. Rice aroma like freshly pounded rice cake. The texture is smooth on the palate. At the same time as the sweetness of the rice, a very refreshing and cool acidity spreads over the tongue and into the mouth. The sweet, refreshing sake-like aroma is also very pleasing. The slight stimulation from the acidity is pleasant, and the smooth umami flavor flows through the mouth and finishes. The lingering aftertaste is mature and short. I haven't been able to get around to it, but I hope to drink a variety of Shiga sake from time to time 🍶😊.

Good evening, Pon 😃. Asakayousei was quite delicious 😊. Heiwado, the proud supermarket of Shiga, sells not only Asakayousei, but also Hagi no Dew, Kamikai, and various other Omi sake, and I thought the love for the local people was great: ☺️

At standing drinking CHUIN on a previous day. The last drink of the day. (This is a staggered post.) I had enjoyed Kenshin the first time I drank it at chuin-san. I thought the label was quite different from the usual stoic kanji-only label, but it seems to be a collaboration with the manga "Izakaya Maruyo" (居酒屋丸よ) and limited to Maruess Sake Shop and Kanese Sake Shop 🍶. The appearance is a pale yellow-green. The aroma is mild and refreshing. It has a gentle herbal feel and a sweetness in the aroma that is typical of sake. In the mouth, it flows smoothly and refreshingly. Discreet sweetness, a herbal feeling, and a cool, refreshing acidity escape. It flows from the spread of refreshment, then swells and sharpens moderately. The lingering aftertaste is moderately sweet and refreshing. It was the kind of sake I would like to drink casually in everyday life. It was a beautiful way to end the meal. Thank you for the sake 🍶.

Good evening, Pon 😃. With chuin, if it's small, I can drink it slowly because they leave me alone even if I'm taking notes while I'm thinking and drinking slowly with 40ml of one sake 😊🍶. I'd like to learn more about this kind of casual drinking too: ☺️

At standing drinking CHUIN in the past days. (This is a staggered post.) The next one is Sairai, which is hard to buy in Kansai. I like Sairai, too. This is a basic sake of Sairai! It has a very pale yellow crystal appearance. The nose has aromas of white grapes and unripe melon. On the palate, a sweet and sour first touch is followed by a chili gas sensation stimulation. The balance between clear sweetness and firm, refreshing, gorgeous acidity is intoxicating. The clear acidity is well balanced with the sweetness and finishes with a crispness. It is still delicious. We finished it in no time and went on to the last sake of the day.

At standing drinking CHUIN in the past days. (This is a staggered post.) Next is Kudokibe. It is Dewa Sanzan 33 Nama Sake. Dewa Tsannin is the pride of Yamagata Prefecture. Incidentally, Junmai Ginjo-shu made from 100% Dewa Sanzu rice polished to 55% or less and brewed with Yamagata yeast and Yamagata's original koji mold, Olise Yamagata, is certified as "DEWA33". This Kudokibe is not DEWA33 certified, but it is a very luxurious junmai daiginjo with a milling ratio of 33%. The appearance is pale yellow crystal. Sweet ginjo aroma of pear, melon, and banana. The taste has a sweet, clean first touch. Gentle and beautiful acidity. It flows smoothly and finishes with a slight bitterness in the sweetness and umami with a sense of rice. The lingering aftertaste is long and complex. There are occasional lapses of acidity. Delicious. ☺️ Kudokidote is one of my very favorite brands. I have a few bottles waiting in the cellar, so stay tuned for more 😁. So, on to the next sake 🍶.
