寒菊OCEAN99 橙海Arrival
alt 1alt 2

あお
The wine has subtle bubbles and distinct flavors of honeydew melon and green apple. The label, like Akabu's "Amber," has an orange-yellow visual design that makes you look forward to the coming fall and the maple leaves on the mountains. The tagline also depicts the tranquility of an airplane landing after flying over the 99-mile coast in the setting sun.

It's true that you have to write a review as soon as you finish the wine or you forget some of the subtle flavors... This one is cheesy and lingers in your mouth with a sticky feeling after you drink it, which is rather distinctive.

This is brewed using red rice koji, and the color of the sake is a special slightly reddish color, so to show off its beautiful color, it is sold in Japan in a clear bottle. With 65% rice koji and an alcohol content of 10, it is very easy to drink, and tastes like a sweet apple cider without the bubbles.

This is a sake that uses 100% of Ishikawamon's rice, and it is added to the third step of the brewing process called "Sanshiki". The sake has a strong sense of effervescence, and with an alcohol level of only 11 degrees, it is easy to drink, but the flavor is very rich. It has a very strong flavor of honeydew melon and bubblegum right after pouring, and in the mouth there is also a clear fruity acidity. In addition, the label has a couple of beautiful swallows on it, and overall it's a very good wine!

As the name suggests, this wine gives a refreshing and brilliant feeling, like a girl playing in the water on a summer beach, very sweet

Love Glory Fuji so much, almost all the flavors I love. This one has a bright honeydew melon flavor and a sweetness from the rice that's very pleasant

Soma Brewery switched brewing to Okazaki Brewery in Nagano because of the Noto disaster, and the resulting bamboo leaves were expected to be in the style of Shinshu's Kamehameha, but they were unexpectedly quite distinctive in their own way.

Akabu's usual sweet style, with only 13 degrees of alcohol, very easy to drink; 60% of refined rice step, which can show a relatively rich flavor

Fantastic flavor. Smells grassy, drinks with a light grapefruit aroma and grain fermentation (soy sauce flavor), overall flavor is muted, not a big fan personally

A more pronounced fruit acidity and rice sweetness can be felt on net, but it seems a bit underpowered and feels muted when paired with a meal.

Why is it that Kudoki's first sakes all have a higher alcohol content... it emphasizes the richness of the sake, but it also makes you drunk faster. The future of this sake is 17-18 degrees of alcohol, so don't drink too much of it.

This is a sake brewed with wine yeast and the rice is 100% Yamada Nishiki. There was a light sourness, but nothing special to drink, and a somewhat heavy alcohol sensation that lingered in the throat. The use of wine yeast is more experimental than practical in my opinion, and it's worthwhile in exploring more possibilities for sake.

Shinshu Kamehameha never disappoints me. Using Yamada Nishiki from Kasai City, Hyogo Prefecture, this 15-alcohol sake has a high fruity aroma, a flavor similar to green apple and loquat; plus the right amount of acidity and effervescence. I didn't pair it with a meal, but this wine must be good with a meal to boost the appetite.

The refreshing light blue color of the label gives a cool feeling. This Daiginjo has a bubblegum flavor that is sweet and lovely. The back label also has a lot of keywords that go well with this sake, such as white wine, straw hats, cicadas, bathing suits, marshmallows, and water balloons, all of which are typical summer imagery yet.

This is a sake that the guest next to me shared with me. It's 35% refined rice step and 18% abv. It's easy to drink and easy to get drunk when you drink it. Doobashira is a traditional pressing method in which the mash is suspended by a cloth bag at the final pressing stage of brewing, so that the sake drips and filters into the doobashira below. The sake pressed in this way is also known as shizuku-shu (雫酒).
