One day standing drinking. It has been a long time since Chuin has been here. On this day, we drank three sakes. We started with "Tomonori" by Yoshida Shuzo, which brews Gassan. Tomonori is a sake named after the brewer of Yoshida Shuzo, Mr. Tomonori Yoshida. In the brewing stage, it is not decided which tank will become Tomonori, and the best tank from which the junmai ginjo is brewed becomes Tomonori. Moreover, it is a limited distribution sake, so the brewery does not sell it in reverse. The rice polishing ratio is 55%, and although there is no mention of the sake rice, it is said to be Sakonishiki. If so, it is the same as the Izumo Fuji Yukigumo we drank the other day! It is a Junmai Ginjo-shu, a Nakadori (raw sake), orikarami. It is all drunken words! The appearance is a yellow-white orikagara that leaves a clear impression with a hint of tailings floating in the air. The aroma is calm and gorgeous, with pear and melon ginjo aroma and soft rice aroma. In the mouth, there is a juicy sweetness and a gentle but present acidity. The softness of the tailings and the firm, full flavor flow with a slight bitterness and finish with a sharp edge. Super delicious! I heard there was also a petit gas feeling right after opening the bottle, which I imagine made it even more delicious 🤤. I like Gassan to begin with, but I would like to drink Tomonori at home at least once in a while.

The sake is a testament to the brewer's solid sake quality design ability and outstanding sake brewing technique. Each drop of this refined sake, which is the result of a subtractive aesthetic, is the soul of the brewer, who is obsessed with Ogawa yeast. This sake is brewed in the same tank as the sake entered in the competition to commemorate the brilliant performance of "Kiri-Tsukuba Junmai Daiginjo" brewed by Chikara Urasato, a toji who is the master brewer of this sake, in the 2024 competition. Although the evaluation of the competition is not absolute, it is a good indicator of sake brewing techniques. The appearance is pale yellow crystal. Elegant, mildly fresh, and fragrant ginjo aroma. The aroma is typical of sake brewed with banana, melon, and Ogawa yeast. The faint volatile aroma is refreshing, and the rice aroma is about the same as that of Kamishinko (rice powder). In the mouth, the texture is soft and smooth. The elegant, mellow sweetness spreads smoothly like a flower blooming in the mouth, and the mild acidity spreads smoothly. When the harmony of the flavor, the good ginjo aroma of banana and melon, and a slight volatile aroma is pleasantly felt, the aroma disappears as if it were a mirage. The aftertaste is clean and stringy. The aroma and taste are as if the core of Ogawa yeast's sake brewing has been extracted and crystallized through subtractive aesthetics. It was simply amazing. It was an intoxicating experience.

WAKAZE brings the wind from California to Shwashwa🍶. The contents of the can are authentic sake brewed by Takara Shuzo using only domestic rice with white malted rice and wine yeast. Currently sold only in the Kanto region and not available in the Kansai region, so I entered the giveaway and won 🎉! Summerfall, a sparkling sake in a casual can that WAKAZE aims to make "Sake is possible" from the free and COOL SAKE culture in California. It is made only from domestic rice and has no added alcohol or sugar! The sake is made with white malted rice and wine yeast, and is produced in Japan by Takara Shuzo using domestically produced ingredients. When you drink it... Strong schwash🫧. The aroma is sweet and refreshing. Aroma of 4MMP sherry like muscat and white wine. There is also a refreshing citrus and koji sweetness, and the rice aroma is about the size of a white dumpling. Strong gassy and extremely light texture. The moderate sweetness has a pleasantly shwashy feel, with a characteristic acidity that comes from the white koji and a white wine feel in the hints, which leaves a dry finish. It is quite sake-like and gives a good impression 😊. Since we are in the Kansai region, I paired it with takoyaki, which is still the best 😊🐙🍶🫧. I want to drink this sake next to the Sanzu Yabe to pull me safely into the swamp 🤔.

The light snow that has fallen on the frosted bottle gently dances as the bottle is opened. The smooth and silky taste, accompanied by a soft gaseous sensation, disappears, just like a cloud of light snow falling from the night sky. Jay & Nobby drank this last season and I really wanted to try it 😊. Snow white with a golden tinge that leaves a slight transparency. The aroma is youthful and fresh. Freshly cut young pears. The aroma is of rice, like freshly pounded rice cakes. The texture is fine and silky. The gasiness is strong, yet soft and gentle. The clear sweetness and gentle acidity that spreads after being absorbed into the palate are woven together to create a pear and white grape juice flavor. The refreshing overtone is also pleasantly intoxicating. The softness of the tailings flows silky smooth. The sharpness is good and disappears like light snow. On the third day after opening the bottle, the dryness increases and the freshness and lightness come forward. The taste is fresh and lush, like a 21st century pear with reduced sweetness. Love it to say the least😊. It's so good ☺️ I'm proud that there are such great sakes out there while the buzz and popularity tends to be concentrated on the so-called three major nigori sakes. More sake I definitely want to buy next season 🍶.

Every year we change the rice used to make our zodiac sake. The year of the snake is Hachitan-Nishiki. We want to drink it slowly until it changes from a gassy modern sake to a classic modern sake 🍶. I was lucky enough to buy the zodiac sake Rinne Tensei from Hiran that I had missed out on 🐍. The first day of opening the bottle □□ Fine gas bubbles. The aroma is sweet and refreshing. Muscat, grapefruit, sweet melon. There is a rich sense of whey and cream cheese. The rice aroma is about the size of a white egg dumpling. The mouthfeel is smooth, with a gentle and subtle stimulation of gas. Clear, moderate sweetness and rounded acidity. The clear flow of the nose is rich in citrus and dairy aromas. It finishes with a faint glimpse of bitterness that disappears with a whoosh. The lingering finish is rather long. It is said to be designed to enjoy changes in the opening of the bottle, so we stopped drinking it for a while. After 4 days from the opening of the bottle The aroma is sweet with fresh citrus and white flowers. The aroma is sweet with fresh citrus fruits and white flowers, and the clean, fresh yeastiness of yogurt and cheese becomes even more intense. There is almost no sense of gas, and it is gentle and soft, with modest sweetness and rounded acidity spreading gently. The fluffy and moderately thick umami and extended acidity are also well-defined. The finish is smooth and slightly bitter. It is clear on the first day, but after opening the bottle, it also has a nama-hashiroshi character. The moderate body of Hachitan Nishiki is intoxicating. ☺️

ARANAMI in years when the rice is difficult to dissolve, and SAZANAMI🌊 in years when the rice is easy to dissolve, bringing out the full potential of Gohyakumangoku and delivering a refreshingly robust flavor. The first day the bottle was opened... Foggy appearance with yellow tint. Tailings particles and fine gas bubbles dance. The creamy banana aroma is discreet, and the cider-like and faint koji acidity is refreshing. The rice aroma is also rich, like rice cake. The taste is pleasantly stimulated by a very lively gasiness, and the bubbles pop. The sweetness, which has become thicker due to the involvement of the tailings, mingles with the gentle acidity. The bitterness is enveloped by the roundness and umami fullness of the tailings, and it finishes slim and clean. The lingering aftertaste of slight bitterness is medium. After the second day of opening the bottle... The gasiness is finer and the flavor is one step darker! The sweetness of the firm rice and the gentle acidity that creates a refreshing feeling. The smooth flow of mellow tailings and umami with moderate bitterness and astringency are also intoxicating. It has a bitter sharpness and a moderate aftertaste. The tailings are more deeply intertwined at the end, and together with the fine gasiness, the mild and creamy rice sweetness and umami are rich. You can fully enjoy the intoxicating part of Gohyakumangoku! Very tasty. ☺️

A modern Koshi-ichi, a sake brewed with a variety of sake rice and the brewer's passion for sake. Brewed with Akita Sake-komachi, this bespoke sake is light and enjoyable, with a fresh, clear sweetness and a gentle veil of sake lees. First day of opening 🍶. Foggy appearance with gas bubbles mixed with fine tailings. Aroma is ripe pear, apple, lychee. Pithy cideriness. Freshly pounded rice cake rice aroma. Slight fluffiness then swoosh in. A clear pear water-like sweetness with a gentle gassy stimulation flowing through. The refreshing, beautiful umami, including soft bitterness with a hint of tailings, spreads out and disappears quickly and lightly. The finish is short and slightly astringent on the tongue. A light and enjoyable sweet and refreshing kasumi-shu. Delicious. ☺️ Opened 3 days 🍶. The overall aroma is subdued, with a slight citrus sensation. The gaseous sensation is softened and the wine has a lightness that flows more smoothly. In the midst of this flow, there is a cool dryness with a slightly herbal feel and a flavor that includes a soft bitterness. The clear dryness of the sharpness also increases, making it more refreshing to drink. I would like to drink it again in the future. By the way, the 4th picture is totally unrelated, my favorite Zoni Udon noodles with red bean paste 😁.

The other day, after Ane-san's check-in for reaching the hermit number, there was a bit of a buzz among Kansai Sake-no-Wa members about Genmai's Aizan. I was lucky enough to come across it and tried it for the first time after all this time. For some reason, only Gensen Mai's Aizan (and its activated sake, Hwarin) has a slightly modern and stylish label. The point of the "i" being a grain of rice, etc. is also intoxicating ☺️ The exterior is a very pale silver crystal. The aroma is sweet and fruity, with a "genmai" ginjo aroma. Ripe melon, young banana, ripe white peach. The rice aroma is about the same as that of white dumplings. The first touch of sweetness. Cute acidity mixes with the sweetness and acidity. The sweetness gives way to a swelling umami flavor and a loss of alcohol that is typical of nama-zake. The lingering aftertaste, including a slight bitterness, lingers gradually. This is Genmai, this is Genmai. Fruity, rich, and cute. Delicious. ☺️🍶 The day's lineup was full of sakes to suit our tastes and some great first encounters, making for a very satisfying end to a very satisfying day 😊. Thanks for the treat 🍶.

By the way, I am ashamed to say that I recognized for the first time that both Kuroryu and Kutouryu have a Dareguchi 😅. The appearance is a greenish yellow color with a slight haze of tailings.

The gentle and firm umami is followed by a sharp sensation that spreads and finishes with a sharp sharp edge. The aftertaste is moderate. It is delicious. The aroma is higher than that of Kutouryuu, and the sweetness and umami of the taste is moderate and refreshing.

My sake of the day 💁. I finally got to drink a sake from a brewery that has been on my personal list of favorites for a long time! Echigo Den'emon started full-scale brewing in R4BY after taking over the business. Mr. Aoi Kato is the sole brewer, living in the brewery and brewing for all four seasons. The brewing process is standardized: ultra-small brewing, 50% rice polishing ratio, ginjo-style brewing, 901 yeast, sake tank pressing, bottle heating, and a unique asymptotic asymptote-type regular fast brewing yeast. I'm interested in this kind of thing: ☺️ Vesica Paisys GOZ this time 🍶. The appearance is a fine and beautiful pale silver-white. The aroma is youthful and fresh. Unripe pear, princess apple, green melon skin, whey yogurt, and white dumplings. Smooth and silky texture. The rice flavor with a hint of whey spreads and flows smoothly, and the acidity like Japanese citrus comes with bitterness. From there, the umami, including a refreshing bitterness, flows with a silky tailing and finishes with a crisp finish. The finish is sharp and medium with a lingering astringent aftertaste accompanied by a soft bitterness. Delicious. It is completely different from the direction of my preference for dark mellow sweet umami, but it is delicious. Someday, I too would like to encounter the kind of sake that makes the genes smile, which is what Mr. Kato is aiming for.

I like Yamazan because it has many flavors that suit my taste. ☺️ It is a junmai ginjo-shu, a light nigori (light nigori) sake brewed with my favorite sake rice from Nagano, Hitogokochi, polished to 55% rice polishing ratio 😄.

On this day, the sake I was looking for was on tap, so I went to chuin. We started with Matsuo Jugyo, a local standard sake from Kangiku Meikozo, which brews Kangiku, which I had been curious about for a while. This is a limited-edition Shiboritate that is released only once a year during the new sake season! This is a limited-edition, raw version of the It is an unfiltered junmai ginjo sake. I tend to get junmai daiginjo at Kangiku, so junmai ginjo might be a new experience for me 🤔. The exterior is a very pale silver yellow crystal. There are gas bubbles in the glass 🫧. The aroma is mild cold chrysanthemum. Ripe apple and pear aromas in the distance, with a touch of riceiness there. When you drink it, the first touch is Jun and sweet. Soft gassy and tart texture. The bitterness from the mid-palate is also slightly effective, sweet but tight. The loss of alcohol, which is typical of nama-shu, is also intoxicating. It is drunkenness, isn't it? This is a standard sake that makes local Chiba Prefecture residents envious. Compared to Kangiku's Occasional series and Ocean99 series, it was less vivid, a calm Kangiku that is just right for drinking as a standard sake. On days when I go to the liquor store and find that there is nothing in particular that I am looking for today, I envy the Chiba residents who can buy this kind of sake as a standard sake. ☺️

The sweet and sour taste of the juiciness is followed by a clear and bitter aftertaste that is both sweet and sour. The other day, I opened a bottle of Viridian to unravel my mind without thinking. The bottle was opened after about 9 months of ice aging. On the first day of opening the bottle. Pale yellow-green crystal. Youthful freshness with no hint of aging. Firmly woody. Pear with acidity, slightly sweet yuzu and apricot. A yogurt feeling typical of sake yeast yeast yeast yeast. Rice aroma of white dumpling. While it flows smoothly, the tip of the tongue is slightly chilled to the point where it is hard to tell whether it is gas or acidity. The deep sweetness and fresh transparency are impressive. The citrusy acidity with lactic acidity spreads with a sizzle. The woody and yogurt-like aroma is also rich. The lactic acidity passes down the back of the throat, and the lush transparency naturally fits into the palate and finishes off. The lingering aftertaste is medium with a slight bitter astringency. After the third day of opening the bottle. The sweet and sour juiciness increases slightly, and the flow from the mid-palate becomes more transparent, with a clearer sense of umami, including a natural bitter astringency. Rolling on the tongue, the sizzling sweetness is mixed with Japanese citrusy acidity, and the sweet and sour taste is thick with a bittersweet aftertaste. Japanese juiciness, if you will.

Good evening, Yasbay 😃. Viridian with a break from nigori sake is also intoxicating ☺️ I have a theory that there is no right or wrong answer for sensory evaluation because everyone has their own way of drinking and feeling 😤, so please enjoy it in your own way 🍶☺️

Good evening, Aladdin 🌛. Viridian" is intoxicating 😁. I can buy a bottle of "Viridian", "Cosmos" or "No6" with a special ticket at a local liquor store, but I'm having a hard time deciding what to buy 🤔 Japanese Juicy 😋.

This is the first commercially available Kako, Sansho 2023 Kako, released last year 🍶. Kabashiko is a native rice that took the Hananoka Sake Brewery about three years to revive from seed hulls. As the name suggests, it has a characteristic aroma. It has a strong carbon dioxide bubble, which is called "brewer's foam" in the producing region. The aroma is gorgeous and complex with restrained tones. Impressive are the sweetly scented white peaches and white grapes. Pear, melon, and yogurt whey are also present. The rice aroma is aromatic, mingling with the sweet white peachiness. The mouthfeel is soft and vigorous with fine gas. A moderate sweetness with a pear-like sensation spreads with a transparent cream cheese sensation. While the gaseous sensation quickly converges and disappears finely, a gentle and smooth acidity accompanies the sweetness. The clear umami quickly disappears with a mature, bitter complexity. The lingering aftertaste is pleasantly intoxicating, with a beautifully tightened bitterness and a return aroma like that of white peaches, which is typical of Kako. It is delicious. It has a deep flavor. At the end, the sake becomes lightly nigorigo (lightly cloudy) due to the tailings that have accumulated at the bottom of the bottle! The flavor and taste is as if you are eating a fragrant child. This final reward is also the best! The word "delicious" is not enough, we would like to continue to enjoy the world that only Sansho can express.

Hi Muro 😃 Sorry, I just wanted to arrange the three colors in a squadron-like fashion, and the only one I drank this time was Kako 🙇. I heard that there is also Kako Gounou brew this season, so you still have a chance! I hope you will try Kako's sake: ☺️

Hi HIRO 😃 Personally, I thought it would look like a squadron when all 3 colors are together! I think the different rice in the future will be yellow and pink 😁. Sumiyoshi Sake Sales in Hakata seems to have a large supply of producing rice with the competition from all over the country, so I wish you a good luck!

At the after-party of a recent drinking party. The customer next to me was not sure what to drink, and the waiter said, "It's not on the menu, but we have it here today! The shop staff recommended this drink. The person next to me did not seem to be a regular sake drinker and was wondering what to drink, so I impolitely told him, "Tasake's light nigori is a limited edition sake available only during this season and I like it too! It's delicious! It's delicious! They drank it, liked it and were happy. ☺️ Seeing this, my colleagues who came with me also had the second glass of Tasyu's light nigori 😊. I have been drinking only seasonal Tasake lately, so I decided to drink the regular sake at home this time and passed on both the Usunigori and the Kijoshu. However, everyone was drinking it so deliciously that I wanted to drink it myself when I recommended it to them 😅 The refreshing and pleasant apple aroma was just right, and the white dumpling-like aroma with the tailing was soft and intoxicating. When you drink it, you will feel the stimulation of a slight gaseous sensation and the soft flow of sweetness and umami that is fresh with a hint of nigori (light nigori). It was so good that I regretted not having tried it! But I'm glad I wasn't wrong in recommending it to you all 😊. Thanks for the treat 🍶.

Hi Aladdin, good evening 🌛. I found this "Tasake" the other day and regretted so much that I didn't buy it 😵. After reading your review, I went to buy it again today and it was sold out 😓. I guess I was conscious of stocking up and that's why I lost: ⤵️

The other night, the first round of drinks was at a wine place (we had planned to go to a sake place, but couldn't get a reservation 🥲), so we went to a recommended stand-up drinking place for the second round and again had two sakes of sake. First, my favorite sake, Kangiku! I often drink the Occasional series, but for some reason I have not had much luck with the Ocean99 series. I often drink the Occasional series, but for some reason I don't have much luck with the Ocean99 series. Nagi Spring Misty, one of the spring sakes that is indeed too far ahead of its time in the sake world, which tends to anticipate the season. It has a beautiful light nigori color, just like a spring haze. The aroma is also moderate but refreshing, with an apple and pear aroma and a hint of gentleness, giving it a drunken feeling typical of Kangiku. The taste is also juicy and sweet with a fine tailing that gently envelops it. The mild yet firm sweetness that is typical of Kangiku can be felt to the fullest while the gentle gasiness is pleasant. Although this restaurant was a stand-up drinking counter, there were many young customers enjoying sake, which made me feel that the sake area is still going strong! I was happy to see that.

Zero drinks before the recent party 🍶. Sugihara Sake Brewery in Gifu, which brews Imi and Chiyonohana. At the beginning of this year, we learned of the sudden death of Shoji Sugihara, the fourth-generation brewer, from the back etiquette of this year's Imi, which someone had checked in. I am very sorry to hear of his sudden passing, and I pray for his soul rest in peace. We offered a toast with the BY1 Sagami, which was probably brewed with Mr. Hiroki Sugihara, the fifth generation of the family, in his days. The color of the liquid was originally a strong haze, which was thought to have been a solid orikara or light nigori, but it became a complex color with a golden green tinge after aging. The aroma is also complex, with the original sweetness and the fermentation of the sake's tailings coming through the aging process. The taste is smooth and thick, with plenty of residues. Although the sense of maturity is quite strong and peculiar, the original sweetness and umami can be felt with a round and thick texture. I would like to continue to drink and support the sake brewed by the fifth generation, Hiroki-san, who is following in the footsteps of the fourth generation, Shoji Sugihara, with his brews such as Imi and Chiyonohana. Thank you very much for the sake.

Hi Aladdin 🐦. That's a nice 0th party to have a shot ✨. I also found out about it at Sake no Wa. It's a shame that Sagemi is not able to drink outside, let alone drink at home. I hope the good drinking continues for the next generation and beyond 🙏.

アラジン

Good evening, Pon 😃. It's a stand-up drinking place in Fukushima, Osaka, with a wide selection of sake, and the fact that they serve cold sake in tin drinking vessels is intoxicating ☺️ I'm sure Sugihara-san will be fine, as he writes his thoughts for his father on the back etiquette 😊.

Sake 🍶 from the 0th round of drinks the other night. It was a delicious sake that was too good not to check in, so excuse me if I don't have any notes on the taste, etc. 📝. First of all, the 0th party. We had a couple of drinks at the standing bar. We started with Chiebijin's new sake Nouveau. I like Kyushu's mellow and complex sake, and Chiebijin is one of my favorite brands. It's been a while since I've had it, and I'm glad I did. ☺️ The aroma is fresh, sweet and nice. When you sip it, you can feel the freshness and a very slight stimulation of gas. In addition to the firm sweetness and mild acidity, it also has a rich umami flavor that is typical of Chiebijin, and it is intoxicating. I didn't say it out loud because I was talking with my colleagues, but in my heart I said, "Oh, it's delicious! I said in my heart, "Oh, it's delicious!" ☺️ I did think that it would go well with cheese in a wine glass, like a sweet white wine, receiving it with a sweet and robust flavor for a new wine. After all, Chiebijin is delicious too, so I must drink it at home 🍶.

The last drink of the day. There was a bottle design of Shinomine that had a different atmosphere from the Shinomine we usually see, so I tried it. Ise-Nishiki is Mie Prefecture's prized rice for sake brewing. It is said to be the ancestor of Yamadaho, the mother of Yamada-Nishiki. It was developed in Ise in 1860 from Yamato, a native rice, and was popular in the Kansai region for a while, but was no longer cultivated due to its tendency to fall over due to long sticks. Motosaka Sake Brewery, which brews Hachibei sake, revived the cultivation of this rice as sake rice in 1991. Since then, it has been brewed by other sake breweries, but I did not know that it was grown in Nara Prefecture. This junmai sake is brewed with Ise-Nishiki produced in Nara Prefecture using Kyokai No. 6 yeast. The appearance is pale yellow-green crystal. The aroma is mild and sweet. The aroma is mild and sweet, with juicy sweet banana, apricot, and rice cake aroma. On the palate, there is a soft texture and a very slight gasiness. Juicy sweetness and rounded acidity. A cool, refreshing flavor spreads. A tight aftertaste of slight bitterness and astringency. Oh, this is delicious! The gasiness is pleasant, moderately juicy, and the rice has a beautiful umami! I tend to drink a lot of Kaze no Mori and Mimuro Sugi as Nara sake, but Shinomine also made me want to try a lot of other sake 🍶.

I went to Asano-san to consume a ticket for one 45ml glass of super premium sake that I got from the anniversary gacha 🍶. I chose this one from the type of sake I don't drink on a daily basis. It is a Nishikigoi from Imadaiji Shuzo, which brews Imadaiji (Imayo Tsukasa) in Niigata. Hello 😁. The exterior is clear crystal with a brilliant shine. The aroma is...mild, youthful and fresh. The main aroma is a blueish selfeuille, with a hint of rice aroma. As it warms up, there is a faint melon aroma. The aroma may have faded with the passage of time after opening the bottle. The texture is smooth on the palate. The beautiful rice flavor with a hint of sweetness and acidity flows smoothly like water in a good sense and disappears with a slight alcohol taste. It is so sharp and crisp that you would think it was alky. As it warms up, the soft sweetness becomes softly perceptible with a hint of koji, and the fine acidity also comes out. The aftertaste is long, with a delicate, gentle feeling. It was a beautiful, sharp, and perfectly fine dining sake. We had a ticket for the anniversary gacha snacks, so we paired it with smoked tea duck and smoked mackerel, and it was intoxicating!
