Eikun氷零貯蔵 純米大吟醸
1
さけまる
After opening the bottle and taking a sip at room temperature, the first impression is watermelon🍉. A refreshing sake that is low in alcohol content and easy to drink. It is even easier to drink when heated and has no peculiarities, making it a good choice for beginners. The aftertaste is slightly bitter. When cooled, it has a more consistent flavor, but it is still easy to drink. If you are looking for a light sake, give it a try.

Is the aroma watermelon? Aroma is similar to that of melon. The richness, which was not felt that much at room temperature, comes as soon as the sake is cooled down, but it quickly cools down. It has a pleasant ginjo aroma that could be described as junmai ginjo. The bitterness is restrained and there is no bitterness in the aftertaste. Alc 17-18 is dangerous for such an easy-drinking sake. When heated, the aroma changes to a plum flavor similar to that of sweets. The alcohol content is not as high as it should be, and there is a hint of a gourd-like flavor. Recommended to drink cold. This is a great quality sake at this price.

The aroma is thin and hidden, as if you are smelling through a filter. However, once in the mouth, it blossoms at once, and the aroma passes through to the nose with a strong flavor, which is immediately snappy. The same bitter aftertaste persists for quite a while. Although it has an Alc of 16.5, it is a bit low in the mouthfeel. When drunk on its own, it is a bottle that makes you want to pair it with sashimi. If you drink it warmed in the sun, it will have more alcohol and the acidity will become more pronounced, and the bitter aftertaste will go away, replaced by a faint sweetness. We prefer it cold to room temperature.

The taste of the 2022 sake was so impressive that we bought it again this year. This year, the sake rice has been changed to Yuyamanishiki. Whether this is the reason or not is unknown, but it is quite dry and has a punch that one would not expect from a sake with an Alc of 13. The aroma when poured into a cup was also wonderful. However, the mellowness in the mouth is better than last year's. So, I think it is easier to match with food. In any case, it is a good value for the price, and we can recommend it to those who prefer stronger sake, but the fact that it is hard to find due to the small number of bottles produced is a flaw.

さけまる
The alcohol content is 17.5, which gives it a strong alcoholic taste. The ginjo aroma is restrained, but when you put it in your mouth, the aroma permeates your tongue along with the alcohol. The aftertaste is strong alcohol, followed by sourness, bitterness, and acidity, leaving a lingering aftertaste. When heated, the flavor reaches its peak immediately after swallowing and becomes moderately sharp. For those who like dry sake, heated sake is recommended.

This sake is said to be best paired with oysters. When served cold, it has a slightly sour and acidic taste with a restrained aroma. The flavor quickly becomes sharp. When paired with oyster nabe, the flavor changes noticeably, becoming less acidic and more reminiscent of tropical fruit. You can enjoy the changes in flavor afterwards, and you will want to pair this wine with other shellfish and fresh fish.

When served cold, it has a refreshing acidity on the palate. It is easy to drink and you would not expect it to be alc16. When heated, the sweetness increases and the ginjo aroma becomes richer. It has a lingering aftertaste without losing its sharpness. A sake that should be drunk with care, as it can be drunk easily.

At Alc 17, this sake is a model of light, dry sake. It is 100% Koshitanrei, 55% polished rice, but is very affordable. The dryness stands out at room temperature, and a hint of sweetness is apparent when heated in the sun. The aroma has a strong alcohol taste with a restrained ginjo aroma, making it a reset type sake that can be enjoyed over and over again with meals.

At room temperature or chilled, it has a strong bitterness and almost no ginjo aroma. The impression is similar to that of a honjozo. The price is appropriate immediately after opening the bottle. It seems to stabilize around the second day after opening. When heated to human skin, the ginjo aroma comes out, the bitterness is reduced, and the acidity becomes slightly weaker, making it easier to drink, but it is still a sake like a honjozo. It is best enjoyed warmed.

Yamahai Honjozo. Like Murasaki of the same brand, the first contact is caramelized pudding. It is also easy to drink despite being a Yamahai, and has a pleasantly slight acidity and a loose bitterness. It is recommended to be heated up to the level of human body temperature. It is a waste to warm it up too hot, as the acidity and bitterness will die out. It is a good sake for beginners who want to break out of the "young leaves" mark.

It is not so much that the taste is strong, but rather the presence of the sake is very strong. After drinking this sake, if you drink Naebayama new sake or two-step brewing sake, all the flavors will be blown away and you will feel as if you are drinking water. It has an oriental taste, and as it nears the end, the acidity increases and the taste changes to be more refreshing. As the gaseous sensation that can be enjoyed in the beginning disappears, and as the last of the gaseous sensation is gone, the ori and acidity can be enjoyed, making this a bottle that one will never get tired of.

Ginjo. The first impression is like caramel in a pudding. It has a moderate sweetness and a delicious bitterness, and it finishes quietly without any unnecessary unpleasant taste. The aroma is restrained. The flavor is more enjoyable at room temperature. It can be drunk at room temperature, but we recommend drinking it at room temperature.

Aromatic ginjo aroma and acidity burst in the mouth. The aftertaste is immediately clean and refreshing. It is more of a sour type of sake, but it is easier to drink than Abe-type sake. When heated, the sourness stands out, but the alcohol punch is just the right amount. Recommended for those who want to immerse themselves in the refreshing acidity reminiscent of citrus fruits.

Alcohol 18 degrees, probably ginjo. Obtained in a grab bag. Easy to drink, although the alcohol taste comes after the iso-type aroma. After a slight bitterness, it quickly becomes sharp. When heated to human body temperature, the iso-type aroma and alcohol taste become stronger and it turns dry. It is a sake that can be both mellow and dry. Interesting.

The ginjo aroma is mellow and easy to drink, which is hard to believe at 17%. A moderate acidity and a moderate bitterness fill the palate, leaving a sweet and sour aftertaste. Warming it to human body temperature will enhance the acidity and give it a different flavor.

COWBOY山廃純米吟醸原酒

A strange sake with "soy sauce and miso" appearing in front of your eyes when you smell it. When you take a sip, the miso-like aroma and the sweetness of ginjo litter the palate. The aftertaste is slightly bitter. The second day after opening the bottle, the flavor becomes more subdued, but the soy sauce and miso that would go well with meat still linger in the mind. This sake is the embodiment of the peculiar Yamahai style. When heated, the peculiarity disappears and the soy sauce and miso go away. The aftertaste is bitter, but it has a nice sharpness. Beginners will have a hard time with this sake, but intermediate and advanced drinkers will definitely enjoy it in many ways. I would recommend serving it at room temperature to feel the peculiarity.

After opening the bottle, the flavor is a bit thin. The ginjo aroma becomes prominent on the second day after opening. At room temperature, the isoamyl alcohol and capechi aroma is weak. When heated, the isoamyl alcohol and capaeti are intensified in the same ratio. At this price, it is a good value for the money.

This bottle has a dark iso-type flavor, yet it is one that slurps and drinks at a fast pace. All the sake made with Shuku is easy to drink at a leisurely pace. When heated, the iso-type flavor intensifies, and those who like it will love the taste.

When the bottle is opened, the aroma of ginjo, the thickened liquid, and a slight gassy sensation on the palate are followed by a sweetness and a ginjo aroma that comes through to the nose, enhancing the flavor. The aftertaste is bitter, but it quickly resets itself, leaving no trace. 720 ml is gone in a matter of minutes. And to my surprise, the sensation did not change even when the sake was heated up. Of course, the alcohol taste is stronger, but it really drinks as if it were at room temperature. A new sensation!
