New Year's Day (3) I found this at a ryokan, so I ordered it without much expectation and hit the jackpot! There was no mention of it being a draft sake or anything, but I could feel the gas and it was very fruity. As expected of Nabeshima. I have not bought much of it so far, although my local liquor store carries it, but I will be more proactive in buying it from now on!

New Year's Day memorabilia (2) Fukushima sake bought in Kagoshima. We had given up buying it this year because of bad timing, but we found it at a liquor store where we went to buy sweetpotato shochu during our trip to Kagoshima. When I found it, I bought it and opened the bottle immediately. It is still delicious!

The aroma of the wooden vat is almost non-existent. Drier than expected, and soggy. Seems to go well with meals.

I like Huayouyu better when it has been laid down for 6 months to a year to reduce bitterness, but this one, as a result of being laid down for a year, has less bitterness but also less tropical fruitiness, so it is a bit lacking. It also has less acidity, so it doesn't have much of a pineapple feel to it.

The difference with Alpha is that when it is fresh out of the refrigerator, it has less acidity and more sweetness. As it nears room temperature, it is just as tart as Alpha. The biggest difference is that there is a slight bitterness at all temperatures, and the juniper berry aroma that matches the α is less pronounced. In general, I would say that I prefer Alpha.

I tried to buy Alpha, Beta, and SAZANAMI all at once, but was surprised when I checked the price! They were all over 3,000 yen! I know it can't be helped because of the rising price of rice itself, but I didn't want to buy SAZANAMI because it would be too much for my wallet. This is the second time for me to taste Alpha, but I can feel more juniper berries than the last time. The acidity is also quite strong, which I like a lot. I look forward to comparing it with the beta.

I noticed that the quality assurance expiration date had passed, so I opened the bottle. It had been a long time since it took me more than 10 minutes to open the bottle. Sour and sweet like grapefruit sprinkled with sugar. No bitterness, and it drinks smoothly.

I posted a picture but it disappeared for some reason, so I reposted it. I posted a picture of the front side of the bottle, but it gave me an error when I checked in, so I only posted the label on the back. This sake is a rare sake, which is a kijoshu, muddy, and unpasteurized sake. Unlike recent modern kijoshu, it has a classical atmosphere with low acidity, but with the addition of muddiness and shuwashuwa, it has a new sensation! It is a new sensation!

Huh? It tastes better than the Ginhai? I thought the cloudy one was better value for money, and this year was the first time I bought Ginhai, but the lack of creaminess from the cloudy one makes the sweetness and acidity more apparent. It has a good amount of gassiness, and it tastes amazing. I will buy it again next year!

This time of year, I really want to drink a shuwashu nigori-gori. I haven't had a normal Snowball for a few years, but it is drier than I expected.

After a few days sober due to the flu, I opened a bottle of Abeno REGULUS as a rehabilitation. The nose is still not in its full swing, so the aroma is not fully detectable, but it has a strong acidity that penetrates through the stuffy nose. The price has been raised by 500 yen, so the cost performance has become much worse, but I still buy this sake because I like it very much!

The first new sake Nigori of the year. Very tasty as last year. It has a sour taste among Kangiku, and as a lover of sourness, I like it best in Kangiku.

I am not a big fan of Senkou, but I bought it because I heard that it is not that sweet and refreshing even though it is a kijo sake. It has a gluey aroma like Kaze no Mori, but not as sweet and clean. I haven't bought Yukidaruma in a few years, but it was good enough that I would consider buying it again!

It's time for new sake, so I opened it to clear out the fridge. It had been sitting for 2 years since I bought it, but the gassy feeling was still there! Highly acidic, with a white wine-like muscateliness. It could have been aged longer.

Juicy and soft. Including the sweet and sour taste, it may be a bit similar to Yuki no Mayu.

Muscat juice with the aroma of wooden vats! The only sake with this much muscat flavor is unique!

A little light, perhaps due to the influence of CEL-19. But the strong influence of CEL-24 makes it a refreshing tropical pineapple juice! It was so good that I think it should become a regular!

There are more places to buy them these days, aren't there? I was surprised to see it sold at a regular Bic Camera. It tastes sweet and sour and you can drink as much as you want.
