shitakkeIt is limited to about 1,000 pieces, so I recommend purchasing it if you see it! It is a direct match for my taste after a long time. ♩First of all, the aroma is very elegant. If I had to say more, I would say it tastes like melon. However, it is very clear and has a beautiful and natural sweetness. It also has acidity, so it has a nice sharpness. But the aftertaste is full of elegance in the mouth. It has a very nice aftertaste. ♩I liked this so much that I would buy it again if I could find it at a liquor store! This is a must buy! Low milled rice for such a beautiful flavor. In short, it is a sake where the rice is not "so" polished. It is really just amazing! The percentage is not stated, but it feels at least as good as the ginjo specs. Furthermore, according to the back of the label, the rice polishing ratio is equivalent to that of edible rice! The brand seems to have been started in 2028, but it is a new sake, and yet it is still a rebecher! After one day, the perfection that I felt right after opening the bottle (just my personal opinion) seems to have disappeared. Well, it happens as it does. Still, it tastes good enough.

shitakkeHi Jay & Nobby! I'm also curious about the 3rd flavor, I've read your feedback on the 3rd and it doesn't sound like it's that far off from the 4th ♩ It has become my favorite drink too!

shitakkeSake with fullness and freshness. The aroma includes acidity, and of course there is acidity and sharpness. In addition to the sweetness of the rice, there is also a rich nuance of bitterness, although it is excessive to call it bitterness. It would be a good choice as a food sake. This sake was not what I expected from Tenmei. No wonder they named it "Aozora" (blue sky). Personally, I would say it is like a sunny day in midsummer with just a hint of humidity.

shitakkeIt is juicy yet flavorful! It's fruity and tastes melon-like in flavor, if I may use an analogy. I think there is some acidity that is light but similar to real fruit. I don't think it is a sense of maturity, but it has a strong umami flavor! It's a bit like it's not sake. This is an interesting twist on sake, and the specs are kept under wraps. The system is to find out by reading the QR code on the back of the label. There are two levels, beginner and advanced, with four questions each. The beginner's level is just the right level of difficulty, and I made a mistake on the rice used item. In the advanced level, I answered one question correctly with a Yamakan. This one was difficult!

shitakkeApple sensation, definitely there! Fruity acidity in the aftertaste. I think it is connected to the appleiness. Very fizzy mouthfeel. The taste has umami, or depth. I wonder if this is the effect of brewing in wooden vats. If I were to introduce this sake simply, it would be a delicious apple cider vinegar that can be guzzled down. The rice used is 100% Omachi.

shitakkeGreen apple" has a refreshing sour taste. The sourness remains until the aftertaste. The acidity is effective, and although it is not dry, the sweetness is restrained. The impression of freshness and freshness is strong. It is light and easy to drink, and I don't think you will get tired of drinking it. I remember drinking "Red Apple Chan" a few years ago, which tasted more like malic acid and reminded me of apples. I thought it was scary drinkable, but the alcohol content is 12 degrees. No wonder it is easy to drink.

shitakkeA beautiful yet full-bodied sake. The sweetness itself is elegant. The aftertaste can be described as bittersweet. It is complex and delicious. It is also nice that it lightly stimulates the tongue. It diverges a little from the image of Miyamanishiki that I have in mind, but the refinement is still consistent. Two years ago I had a junmai sake from the same rice used. Looking back at my past postings, I see that although there is a difference in polish between junmai and junmai ginjo, the flavor direction is also generally the same. I feel that the rice is polished and the peculiarities are still suppressed. My impression after one day was a simple, mild sweetness while retaining a complex flavor. It is very tasty. The acidity is not stimulating, and the mouthfeel is mellow.

shitakkeClear sake with a "hard" image. It has a bittersweetness, but also a gorgeousness that opens up in the mouth. Therefore, the sweetness is extremely restrained. The acidity may also contribute to the "hard" image. There is also a slight sense of alcohol. The specs are once-fired, but it doesn't seem as fresh as I thought it would be. I prefer it after a day. It seems to have more flavor!

shitakkeThis sake claims to be the ultimate food sake. As a whole, the acidity stands out. There is also a light sweet nuance on the palate, but the bitter impression that follows is stronger. It is a sake with few peculiarities, and has a sharpness that resets the palate. This seems to complement food well.

shitakkeIt has a sense of transparency, but also a depth of flavor. I thought it could not be put away with just the words "clean" and "beautiful. The ginjo aroma rises from the glass. I felt it was a neutral sake, but I thought it might be because the acidity was a little emphasized. It has no peculiarities, so the cup goes down smoothly. It also has a slightly bitter aftertaste and is very sharp. As the temperature rises, it becomes a little softer on the palate. The difference between this wine and Romain is the acidity. According to the back of the label, it is "a summer romance with fruity freshness and a mild aroma. It certainly stands out as summery among the Romain series. ⁉︎ After a day of aging, the acidity has settled down and the umami has increased. This is close to the image of Romain.

shitakkeThe unctuous sweetness lingers in the mouth. I thought it would be more refreshing since it is an amami, but considering that it is a junmai daiginjo, it is very flavorful! Perhaps it is because of the gasiness, but the heaviness is not that strong, and I felt it was just the right mouthfeel. It has a delicious flavor, and I wonder if it has a little bit of a grain-like nuance.

shitakkeIt has a cool and dry taste, and the É acidity is perfect for summer! I would like to drink this sake especially on a hot and humid night. It is sweet in the mouth, but has a sharpness that reaffirms "Oh, it is dry after all. It has a perfect balance of acidity, sweetness, umami, and sharpness! Tedorigawa's Four Seasons series expresses spring, summer, fall, and winter with the same rice and the same rice polishing ratio. I was able to drink all of the Four Seasons series over the past two years. They are all at a high level! They are so delicious that I want to walk through the four seasons with Tedorigawa again and again.

shitakkeIt has a mildly sweet taste with no peculiarities! It has a light, tangy texture on the tongue, and seems to have a lactobacillus-like acidity. It also has a kind of "mineral" taste. It has a soft sweetness, perhaps derived from Miyamanishiki. Perhaps it is because it is a pure sake, but it gives the impression of being a young sake!

shitakkeA clear, clean, beautiful sake! At first I thought it was light and sweet, but the image has a slightly bitter and mature aftertaste. It has a light mouthfeel with acidity. É The rice polishing ratio is 50%, which is a daiginjo spec. Still, I wonder if the flavor is not cut down more than necessary. Still, Fukushima has many beautiful sake! Sasamasamune Shuzo was founded in 1818, but "Sasamune" has been the brand name since 2014. It seems to be a sake created by young successors joining forces with skilled brewers (from the back of the label).

shitakkeNo longer melon juice! Fruity sweetness, tartness and a little astringency. It was juicy with a ripe melon feel. Light and pithy. It is brewed with brewer's yeast, and it is interesting to see how the yeast, water, and rice can create such a flavor. It is quite drinkable. The taste is gorgeous. The name "3.33" is a reference to the three-stage brewing process plus 1/3 (0.33) of the amount of rice used in the fourth-stage brewing process, which was reduced to 1/3. It seems that Shizen Shu was originally brewed using the brewery's own "kumidashi 4-dan" method.

shitakkeA magical junmai sake! It has a tangy, light acidity and is basically neutral. It also seems to have umami and complexity. The specs are a pure rice sake with 80% rice polishing ratio, but it's a wonder it doesn't have any peculiarities. It doesn't seem to be tiring to drink or anything, but the alcohol content is high at 17.5%. I would be careful about drinking it in a fit state. It is such a drinkable sake! As the day goes by, the umami flavor takes over even more!

However, a slight bitterness and mild acidity lingers in the aftertaste. And although you would expect it to be a light sake, it has a heavy alcohol content of 16 degrees. As the temperature rises, the acidity rises. Surprisingly, the "weight" also increases.

shitakkeFrom a flashy sweetness to a light sourness! Maybe that's why the strawberry-ness came to mind a bit. Probably not at all lol. The taste is rich and lingers on. It has been a while since I drank a distinctly sweet sake, but this kind of sweet sake is also delicious. Eiko-Fuji is quick-tempered(?), and Nanasei seems to be a summer sake. This is the first summer sake "STARS"! I have the impression that as the temperature rises a little, the full-bodied flavor becomes stronger. The heaviness may come out a little.
