When it comes to aged sake, Daruma Masamune is the most popular type of sake. Shiraki Tsunesuke Shoten has been making mainly aged sake since the 1960s 🍶. Shigeri Shiraki, aka Samantha, is the 7th generation brewer. I've seen your instagram often, but this is the first time I've met you. ☺️ Jyunen Koshu is a blend of sake that has been aged for more than 10 years. His husband and toji, Hisashi Shiraki, is one of the few sake blenders I know of. The appearance is deep amber and brown. I have never seen such a color expression in sake before! The aroma is soft yet complex with a mature aroma. Clove, cinnamon, cypress, mead, shiitake mushrooms, soy sauce, caramel, walnuts, etc... All the elements of matured aroma are mixed together with a gentle sweet aroma and a hint of acidity. The taste is soft and mellow. The sweetness is intense and strong, with a touch of molasses, and the acidity spreads from there in a rich, gentle and complex way. There are nuances of Shaoxing sake, but it has no corners, and the richness and full flavor of the rice gives it the quality of aged Japanese sake. The lingering aftertaste is long, thin, and string-like. I am grateful that they did their best to revive aged sake, which at one time was almost lost due to the Sake Tax Law. I hope that aged sake will spread as one of the wonderful cultures of sake 🍶.

Well, it's that time of year again! Denshogiku! We have red orikarami and green...no, yellow clear sake. The appearance is a misty white color that also retains a sense of transparency. The gas bubbles are shwash-wash. The aroma is gorgeously sweet and fresh, spreading around the room as it pours. Sweet and refreshing aromas of freshly cut red apple flesh, the core of an apple with honey, and the freshness of pear and blue melon melon melon. Acacia flowers overflow from the glass. The rice aroma is rice cake covered with rice cake powder. There is also a hint of alcoholic freshness. The tailing is extremely smooth, with a strong and pleasant gas stimulation. The rounded sweetness is more gentle than the impression of the aroma, and together with the gaseous sensation, it has a dry freshness. The overt aroma is also gorgeous. From the mid-palate, a beautiful bitterness spreads out with a delicious flavor, and then it is gone, leaving a sharp finish. The long aftertaste is the bitterness that remains after the gas stimulation subsides. When it is warmed up a little, the fluffy juicy sweetness and gentle acidity balance each other out. Good, very tasty. ☺️ I recommend to drink it a few days after opening the bottle to let the gassiness subside and the taste become more cohesive, and not to chill it too much to enjoy the rich sweetness and flavor, It's still nice when your favorite sake tastes good. ☺️

Celebrating Hirupeko's passing of SAKE DIPLOMA by chuin Sashi-Drinking ⑨Last! The last sake of the day was Kozaemon's Hatsu Shibori. It is a junmai ginjo brewed from Dewa Tsanzan polished to 60%. We drank about 2 gou of sake in all, so not a lot, but please forgive me if I was too busy talking to everyone and not tasting enough. The appearance was a slightly pale yellow crystal. The aroma was sweet, but I got the impression that it was very calm for a junmai ginjo. On the palate, rather than the freshness of a new sake, I thought the sake had a good density and sweetness that made it cohesive. Thinking back, I have encountered many different kinds of sake since I became interested in sake, and thanks to sake-no-wa, I have met many different people. Mr. Kawada, the owner of chuin, is like my sake master, and everyone at Sake-no-wa, including Mr. Hirupeko who invited me this time, are my irreplaceable sake friends🍶. We ended the day wishing each other continued drunkenness (☺️). Once again, thank you very much, Hirupeko 😊. I look forward to working with you again 🍶.

Celebrating Hirupeko's passing of SAKE DIPLOMA at CHUIN SASHIDURI (8) Takasago Kamisen. This is a local regular sake made by Kiyamasa Shuzo, the brewer of Jikin. Hirupeko and everyone else in the store warmed up a bottle of Takasago, which was well received and "delicious. I was also impressed by the cold and warmed sake at Chuuin. The owner, Mr. Kawada, said, "The flavor of this sake changes depending on the blend of the sake at the time. I was also curious about the differences from my previous drink, so I tried it. I tried it at a temperature of about 45 degrees Celsius, using the "Tiphar Heater." The aroma is mild, soft, fluffy and beautiful. The taste has a smooth and fluffy texture. The round, honest sweetness spreads gently and flows softly, leaving a warmth in the mouth. It has an honest smoothness and cleanness like a "warmed cold sake" that even people who don't like heated sake would like. Well, maybe I don't know what I'm talking about, but it was still very tasty and I liked it. It was a little different from the image of "Jikin's regular sake" I had before, but I could feel the universality of Jikin, which is delicious no matter how you drink it, in this Takasago Kamisen. You can buy it in Nabari, Mie Prefecture, so I'll have to keep that in mind 🍶.

CHUIN SASHIDURI (7) to celebrate Hirupeko's passing of SAKE DIPLOMA We have until ⑨, so a little more! Toyonoume Junmai Ginjo Ito Nigiwashi. The owner, Mr. Kawada, was very impressed with this sake, saying, "I think it is the second best brewed CEL-24 after Kameizumi." I was curious about the owner, Mr. Kawada's evaluation, so I had it. The appearance is a pale silver green. Compared to Kameizumi's freshly harvested pineapple aroma, the aroma was calming, mild, and soft pineapple. The texture is smooth with a sense of freshness. The first touch of sweetness is quite intense and fruity. The acidity is gentle and fine, complementing the sweetness, and it flows smoothly and sharply from the mid-palate onward. The lingering finish is moderate with no unnecessary clutter. The richness of the flavor is impressive in comparison to the aroma. There are no spikes or hooks, and the impression is that it is a good, beautiful sake, although it is dense. It was a bit like a mature CEL-24 Naiwakashi, as opposed to the fresh and juicy Kameizumi. Mr. Takagi, who brews Toyonoume, is a very honest and funny young man, and I felt that his personality comes out in the sake he brews. ☺️

CHUIN SASHIDURI (6) to celebrate Hirupeko's passing of SAKE DIPLOMA I chose Tasake Tokubetsu Junmai to reset my nose and mouth. This is what I think of when I think of "Tasake. Personally, I always buy only seasonal Tasake, so I had to check the basics once in a while. The aroma and flavor are solid, but not overdone. It is a stable and reliable Tasake. In a good way, it tastes as good as I imagined. Please note that this is not a tasting comment from this point on 🙇.

CHUIN SASHIDURI (celebrating Hirupeko's passing of SAKE DIPLOMA) ⑤. The SAKE club is held at chuin on the second Saturday of every month with a specific theme. We were able to order the leftover sake from the most recent "Tasting Sake with Added Brewing Alcohol" event, so this was the second sake of the regular sake that we received with respect to Hirupeko-san. Wakanami's regular sake. It seems to be sold only locally. I have never seen this before at Kadoya-san (I have to say I have never been to Kadoya-san that often 😅). The appearance is a slightly pale yellow-green crystal. The aroma is sweet with a hint of koji and sourness, which is typical of sake, but sweeter. It has a strong, strong flavor, and my first impression was that it would go well with Fukuoka cuisine, where people like their food and soy sauce a little sweet. It has a firm sweetness with a hint of koji and complexity that is typical of regular sake, but it also has a sharpness that leaves it feeling flat. It was the kind of sake I would like to drink with a glass of sesame mackerel with dinner 🐟🍶. It has a strong flavor and aroma even though it is a regular sake," said the owner, Mr. Kawada! When I said to the owner, Mr. Kawada (who had tried many things that day and was feeling drunk), "It's mellow! It's a pure sake 😁" 😅

CHUIN SASHIDURI (4) to celebrate Hirupeko's passing of the SAKE DIPLOMA Since I was going to have a Sashi-Drink with Hirupeko, I wanted to drink some sake heated or chilled 🍶. Just as I was thinking this, I was told that I could order sake in a bottle from the Sake Club "Tasting Sake with Added Brewer's Alcohol" held by Mr. Chuin on the Saturday before the event. There were a variety of regular sakes lined up on the shelf at room temperature. Here is a bottle of Kinjaku regular sake. I had previously had a regular Kinjaku sake with added sugar, but the GOLD sake contains only rice, rice malt, and brewer's alcohol. I had it cold for now. The appearance is a pale yellowish green. The aroma is mild, or almost none 😳. In the mouth, it has a characteristic impression of sweetness with a strong and unique taste, and acidity that is also characteristic of sake. Personally, I felt the aroma and taste were totally different from Kinjaku, a sake with a specific name. That is also very interesting. I got the impression that if it were warmed up, the closed aroma and taste would open up and transform again. Next time I go back, if there is still some left, I will try heating it up 🍶.

CHUIN SASHIDURI (3) to celebrate Hirupeko's passing of SAKE DIPLOMA This is Jikin Tokubetsu Junmai Hi-iri, which was also opened the day before. This is Jikin's standard sake. I also love this sake. The appearance is clear crystal. The aroma is pleasantly fresh and fruity, which is the aroma of Jikin. It has a smooth texture. The fruity overtone is accompanied by a moderate sweetness. The acidity is refreshing and gentle. The sweetness and acidity spreads in a pleasantly fruity way, and then it ends quickly. The beautiful aftertaste lasts for a good while. Yes, it is the most delicious. Around the time I was drinking this Jikkomoto, I found out that the person I thought was a regular customer of chuin was a friend of Hirupeko-san's from Orihime University. The person was looking at Hirupeko's SAKE DIPLOMA textbook and drinking sake with the contents 😄. There are so many ways to drink in this world 😁.

CHUIN SASHIDURI (2) to celebrate Hirupeko's passing of SAKE DIPLOMA It is Tobiroki Special Junmai. The bottle was opened the day before. The appearance is a slightly pale silver green. The aroma is mild but fruity with a nice scent of pear and melon. Smooth texture, with a first touch of soft rice sweetness. The refreshing acidity spreads lightly, and a refreshing dryness passes through the back of the throat and nose. The sweetness sometimes shows depth, which is pleasant. The crisp, lingering aftertaste is only a slight bitterness. Very tasty! According to the owner, Mr. Kawada, he only buys the shipment at this time of the year because it has matured nicely from the time it was actually pressed 🤔. He is a pro. I've never seen this special junmai, though I've seen junmai daiginjos rather often and black junmai ginjos, though they are rare 😌.

We held a chuin offline meeting with Hirupeko and Sashi to celebrate the passing of SAKE DIPLOMA: ㊗️ Here is what Hirupeko-san took out of her bag 🍶. Mamio-san presented this to Hirupeko-san. Thanks to the sake connection, we were able to enjoy this precious sake with you. ☺️ Thank you Hirupeko-san and Mamio-san 🙇. The appearance is clear crystal, almost transparent. The aroma is gentle, mild and elegant. It is calm and fruity, like the sweetness of ripe banana with pear and melon. The rice feel is clean with about the same level of top-fruitiness. Soft on the palate. The soft sweetness spreads softly with a sultry, smooth acidity. When you close your eyes, you can feel the elegant sweetness in the aroma, and the sweetness and sourness disappear in a flash while giving a beautiful umami taste. The lingering aftertaste is gentle and clean with no bitterness. It has a moderately modern aroma and taste with just the right lightness. Very delicious 🍶. If this sake is the hidden potential of Ippo Mi-narashi, I wanted to know Ippo Mi-narashi as well: ☺️ I would like to continue to pursue the path of sake, one step at a time, facing myself, without haste and without relaxation.

Hakutsuru-Nishiki is a sake brewing rice produced by the Hakutsuru Sake Brewery in Hyogo, Japan, and is a brother to Yamadanishiki, whose mother is Yamadaho and whose father is Watabune 2. Kamenoi Shuzo, which brews Kudokibe and Bakuren, is impressive for its super-cosmetics. This sake, too, is brewed with Hakutsuru-Nishiki polished to a luxurious 30% polishing ratio, yet it costs a little over 2,000 yen for a four-pack. This is a threat to other breweries. Now, let's take a look at this sake. The exterior is silver crystal. There are very faint gas bubbles on the surface. The aroma is fresh and mild. Freshly cut pears, yellow apples, and melon are fresh and sweet, with grapefruit and pineapple sensations in the acidity. The rice flavor is powdery and fresh. Texture is smooth and silky, with a scattering of tingling gas pungency. The entry is fresh and strongly sweet. Like pear or apple juice. The balance with the acidity is also refreshing. The refreshing sweetness spreads and flows with the clear umami of the rice. The overt aroma is also sweet, refreshing, and pleasant. The sharpness is good and there is no stickiness at all. The lingering finish is quite long. A very slight bitterness creates a tightness. Well, this is delicious. ☺️ The label says "too sweet is a charm", but combined with the freshness and the beautiful umami from the latter half, it is sweet but not at all too sweet.

I wanted to drink sake Musashi sake, so I went to Kyoto to buy some 🍶. Hanaabi, which is kind of cool when you can read it. Sake Musashi is a sake brewing rice from Saitama Prefecture, and while it is easily soluble and difficult to handle in the brewing process, it is said to produce a beautiful sake with a full flavor. The appearance is a slightly pale silver-green. The aroma is fresh and gorgeous with a bitter accent. Bitter nuances mixed with sweetness and acidity give it a pineapple flavor, and lychee and pear aromas are also freshly fragrant. The rice aroma is fluffy and freshly pounded rice cake. There is also a fresh chervil and a slight cypress-like spiciness. The texture is smooth and light, with a chili-like gasiness. While the sweetness of fresh fruitiness spreads freshly and quickly, acidity blurs with bitter nuances. The nose is fresh and fruity, with a scattering of acidity. The sweetness, acidity, and bitterness combine to produce a juicy, transparent wine with a moderately ripe, pineapple-like quality. It has a gentle acidity that is stimulating and goes down the back of the throat, leaving a sharp finish. The lingering finish is medium-long. Oh, it feels intoxicating. It's delicious, with a moderately juicy sweetness and acidity, tightened by just enough bitterness to accentuate the sweetness. ☺️

I had a freshly squeezed bottle of Kinjaku before it overtook me 🍶. The appearance is a slightly pale silver crystal. The aroma is fresh and gorgeous. Freshly cut pears, green apples, green flesh melon, and citrus nuances are refreshing and very fruity. The aroma is fresh rice aroma like white dumplings. A very faint hint of raw ripe isobarrel aldehyde lurks in the back of the nose. The texture is smooth and smooth, with a hint of gas that tickles the tongue. The attack is fruity and sweet, like freshly squeezed fruit juice. The fresh and fine acidity is balanced and spreads across the palate as if it were accompanying the intense sweetness. The fresh fruity overtone passes through the nose with a gentle stimulation of acidity, and then it quickly finishes with a beautiful umami flavor. The lingering aftertaste is long and lingering, as is typical of nama-zake. Ah, I am so happy. This, this, this is Kinjaku. The snack this time was...Taiyaki! The result was a great answer! For a sweet and savory lover like me, it's irresistible: ☺️ The 5th day after opening the bottle, I couldn't even detect a hint of aroma, which is even more blissful 😊. It is the most delicious. I drank it up with this deliciousness etched in my mind and tongue. My sake journey continues in search of another wonderful encounter. Thank you for the treat 🍶.

Here is one that finally fits the concept of the day, which is to try a new sake that you might not be able to afford a bottle of. It is Hououmida Hatsu Shibori Junmai Ginjo-shu. Tochigi love 🫶 again this year. The appearance is a clear mist white! It's an orikara-mist, isn't it - what the heck - say it from the beginning - I'm so happy to be an orikara-mist that I'm about to get dully entangled. The aroma is gorgeous! Fresh and fruity with pear, apple, melon, and white grapes. There is also a rich aroma of freshly sharpened rice coming from the tailings. The texture is smooth with a hint of lees on the tongue. The sweetness is moderately fruity and the acidity is gentle. The whole wine has a softness that is typical of orikawari, and from the mid-palate onward, it finishes with a sense of rice and bitterness derived from the tailings. The aftertaste is moderate. It is very delicious. It is exactly what one would expect from Hououmida Orikawari. Again, if it is an orizumi, please call it that! I'll buy it! I should have bought a bottle of this. I mean, it was a quintessential one of a kind offering that made me think, "I'll buy it even now. Thank you very much for the sake.

Good evening, T.KISO 😃. Well, it's been a while since I had a Houou Mita, but it was so good ☺️ I might buy some if I find it at the liquor store this weekend too 🍶. It's too hard to choose which sake to buy from now on😅.

Good evening, Tsuyodai 😃. No really, I'd like to see them require labeling of orikari and nigori rather than specific names 😤 then I'd buy it 😁. I'm glad I drank it at a professional standing drinking establishment that stirs and pours it properly 😊.

Good evening, Aladdin 😃. I haven't had Mita's Hatsushibori ❗️ for a while 🥲 but everyone has given it high marks and I'm eager to try it 😙. I'd like to say a few words here: "It's an oriented one...". Please buy it! Love Tochigi 🥰.

Good evening, Jay & Nobby 😃. I'm not experienced enough yet to know which sake is related to Ori, but I learned that this Houou Mita Hatsushibori is delicious: ☺️ Now that you mention it, I guess I'll just have to buy it when I find it 😁.

It is Raku no se Yamahai Junmai. It is a pure Yamahai Junmai sake made with Yumematsuri rice in a four-stage hot-kake brewing process. Yumematsuri is a new variety of rice in Aichi prefecture in 2011. We tasted it cold at first and asked for it to be heated. First, the cold sake. The appearance was a pale yellow gold. The aroma is mellow and refreshing. It has aromas of cheese, fermented butter, and banana, which is typical of Yamahai. Along with rice aroma like freshly pounded rice cake, it also has light matured aroma of Choko, soy sauce, and caramel. The texture is smooth. The deep sweetness is followed by a pronounced acidity that seems to be pulled out by the aroma! The acidity cuts right through and sharply finishes! The finish is sharp and long. This is delicious in its own way. From the second cup, I had it warmed up 🍶. The aroma of warmed rice is softly fragrant, with a hint of light aged aromas of calm caramel, chocho, and burdock root. Soft mouthfeel. The smooth acidity is smooth with a light stimulation, and it finishes with a sense of umami that gives a sense of fullness. The lingering aftertaste is long and gradual. It warms up wonderfully! This was a delicious heated sake even for a cold sake drinker 🍶.

Good evening, Aladdin🍶. I heard that they have reduced the amount of the fourth stage for Yumematsuri this year to reduce the sweetness. They have a great selection of both cold and heated sake, so if you have a chance, please let me know 😊.

Akabu F NEW BORN. It's time for new sake at Akabu, and we are starting to see a NEW BORN of raw sake. The appearance is a slightly pale silver green. The aroma is mild with melon, banana, and faint pear, which can be described as a fresh and elegant ginjo aroma. There is also a fluffy rice aroma about the size of a rice cake. While the alcohol rises refreshingly, there is also a slight nuance of cypress. The texture is smooth, with a slight gaseous sensation. The balance between the sweetness of the rice and the fine acidity that accompanies it is wonderful. After the mid-palate, the acidity passes through to the nose, and the wine finishes softly. The aftertaste is medium short. It has been a long time since I have tasted Akabu, but it is still delicious! The fact that it is al-soaked is hard to notice if you are not conscious of the fact. Akabu is a quintessential Akabu. This is another Akabu I must drink this year 🍶.

chuin-san🍶 if you have a chance. New sake has started to be available, so we visited to drink mainly sake that we might not be able to buy a bottle of. This is suddenly out of that concept, but it is Nabeshima Special Honjozo, Nabepin. This is supposed to be a year-round product, but I drank it first simply because I like it. It was freshly opened on the first day. The appearance is clear crystal. Brilliantly fresh and sweet! Refreshingly fruity with a mix of pear, white peach, melon, and banana. Rice aroma with a hint of Kamishin powder. Slight alcohol taste is refreshing. Smooth texture. Slight sweetness and a strong alcohol attack. The acidity is stimulating and the alcohol is bitter. The taste is more stimulating than expected. The second half is slimmer and more balanced, as is typical for an ale-sweetened wine, but there is a lingering, gentle aftertaste of the stimulation from the alcohol. While the aroma is wonderful, the taste is rougher and fresher than when we drank it before, giving it an alcoholic feel. I would like to drink it again after letting it settle down with a slight opening change. After discussions with the owner, Mr. Kawada, it was decided that the potpourri I had previously purchased and drank may have been aged a bit in the store prior to purchase. If you buy it, I personally recommend letting it sit for a bit before drinking it 🍶.

Good evening, Pon 😃. CHUIN used to go there to see if there were any open bottles, but now I'm going there whenever I can 😁. I think I might be able to buy some potpints so I'm thinking of letting them sit at room temperature for a while 🤔.

お義父さんからいただいたお酒☺️ 幻（まぼろし）の赤箱です。 幻は、一升瓶が800円だった昭和47年に8000円！で売り出した、日本酒業界的にもエポックメイキングなお酒😳 外観はクリアクリスタル。 香りは華やかで爽やかさもある非常にフルーティーな吟醸香。 黄色いリンゴや若い洋梨、熟した青いメロンの香りが豊かに、淑やかに薫る。 甘さと爽やかさのバランスがとても良い。 白玉団子のような綺麗な米香も。 サラトロッとしたテクスチャ。 香りと同様リンゴやメロン、洋梨のような爽やかな果実味のある甘味がふわっと広がる。 全く角のないシルクのようなソフトできめ細やかな酸味がごく優しく流れていく。 派手過ぎない心地良いフルーティーさの中で、綺麗な米の旨味も感じさせながらキレていく。 キレは良く、スーッと糸を引くような長い余韻は、目を瞑って堪能したくなる。 フルーティー好きには堪らない、それでいてやり過ぎ感のない上質な香り。 果実味のある甘味とさらふわっとしたきめ細やかな酸味、綺麗な旨味がバランス良く整った味わい。 それらが一切のノイズのない美しさで堪能できる。 素晴らしいお酒☺️ ご馳走様でした🍶

Good evening, Jurian 😃. It depends on the area, but nowadays the red box is not that rare and you can find it if you look for it (although it is a little pricier than usual sake) 😄. If you want a fruity, high quality sake 🍶☺️

A casual drink with the owner, Mr. Kawada, at CHUIN. The last drink of the evening was a bottle of Shimanto Kaoru, which was recommended by Mr. Kawada, who said, "This is interesting. He recommended this one, Kaoru from Shimanto. Bunbon Brewery in Kochi once shut down operations in R2, but was bought out in R4. In R4, the business was acquired and Hiroyuki Ishikawa, a long-time toji in Ibaraki, was recruited and resumed brewing in March of R5. This is a Junmai Daiginjo spec sake brewed with local Niida rice (probably rice rice nikkomaru) using CEL-24, the pride of Kochi Prefecture. It is also strongly geared toward the international market. Mr. Kawada prefaced the sake with the words, "It has an interesting citrus flavor. The aroma is modest for a CEL-24, with a hint of ginjo. The aroma was a little more floral when the bottle was first opened. As you drink it, the gorgeousness of CEL-24 spreads in the hint of aroma. ☺️ After the fruity aroma characteristic of CEL-24, the sweet and sour taste was felt, and from the mid-palate onward, it finishes with a refreshing sourness as if citrus peels had been squeezed, interspersed with a bitter taste. The CEL-24 sensation in the first half of the beer is turned around and the citrus sensation from the mid-part of the beer 🍊. This is a new sensation! Interesting switchback-like sake quality, with a distinctly different taste on the way there and on the way back! And it tastes great😊. This sake was also the harvest of the day! Thank you for the food 🍶.

Good morning, kozo 😃. This sake has made me quite interested in Shimanto (or SHIMANTO for overseas 🤔)! It's a practically new brewery and certainly seems to have a small distribution, but I'd like to try the others when I find them 😊.
