Alcohol content: 16-17%. Gohyakumangoku, Takaneminori Rice polishing ratio: 55 This Aizu Nakasyo Hiyoroshi is available only from special dealers. The aroma is autumnal, with an image of pears and citrus fruits. The taste is refreshingly sweet with just the right amount of acidity. The acidity was just right, and the contrast was interesting, as I had had a more robust Hakkaisan just before. All in all, a delicious sake.

Alcohol content: 19 Yamadanishiki, Gohyakumangoku, brewing alcohol Rice polishing ratio: 60 This is the first Hakkaisan type I have seen. Apparently, it is sold only from November to March. The red label is a junmai ginjo, but this is a honjozo. The high alcohol content makes it very drinkable. It is dry like Hakkaisan, so the aftertaste is refreshing, unlike the strong attack on the palate.

Alcohol content: 15 Omachi, Yuki no Bijin Junmai Ginjo Omachi Polishing ratio: 55 Yuki no Bijin's Kijoshu. Yuki no Bijin Junmai Ginjo Omachi is used to make the sake. The image of kijo-zake is that it is extremely sweet and therefore suitable for an aperitif or dessert sake, but this one has a very high acidity. The alcohol content is higher than other kijo-zake, so I felt it could be enjoyed as a mid-meal sake, making the most of its acidity. It is a good match for crackers with cream cheese.

Alcohol content: 16 Hachitan Nishiki Rice polishing ratio: 48 Hachitan-Nishiki from Hanahayo. The aroma and taste are reminiscent of pineapple and passion fruit with a rich tropical fruit image. This sake is as delicious as ever. It can be enjoyed by itself as well as with food. If I may say so, I think it goes better with crisp dishes such as carpaccio rather than fried dishes.

Alcohol content: 14 Rice used:Undisclosed Rice polishing ratio:undisclosed This is Garakudai's spring sake. Although it does not have a name such as Junmai Ginjo, the aroma has a ginjo aroma with nuances such as rummy. There is a hint of sweetness, but it is basically a light, dry sake. It is generally refreshing and seems to go well with light fish dishes such as Spanish mackerel.

Alcohol content: 17 Rice: Undisclosed, Brewer's alcohol Rice polishing ratio: 60 In the vicinity of Fukushima station on a business trip. As I post this, I remember that I drank very much on 10/8. The last sake I drank. The aroma did not stand up that well and was not very perceptible. Almost no sweetness, extremely dry sake. Since I drank various delicious sakes that I felt were dry, such as Niwu, on that day, it did not leave much of an impression on me.

Alcohol content: 15 Yume-no-Ko Rice polishing ratio: 50 I was in the vicinity of Fukushima station on a business trip. The shopkeeper recommended this limited edition sake, which is only released once a year. The aroma was fresh and reminiscent of white peaches. The sweetness and umami are the first flavors that come through, with bitterness lingering in the aftertaste. It is a well-balanced sake with a gentle taste.

Alcohol content: 15.5 80% Hachitan-Nishiki, 20% Yamadanishiki Polishing ratio: 60 This sake was served near Fukushima station on a business trip. I had previously had a 100% Yamadanishiki special Junmai Hi-iri at a corner bar in Tokyo, but this is a blend of Hachitan-nishiki and Yamadanishiki. While the 100% Yamadanishiki version had a more fruity aroma, this one had a more floral aroma. As for the taste, the sweetness was more subdued than other Jikin, while the umami from the rice was more pronounced. In general, it was a dry Jikin with a very good, refreshing acidity. It was delicious.

Alcohol content: 13 Rice used:Undisclosed Rice polishing ratio:50%. At the vicinity of Fukushima station on a business trip. It is an autumn sake from Akabu. It is considered to be "hiyaoroshi" in terms of treatment. The aroma was dark with a hint of mango and other aromas. I thought it would have some color since it was labeled "amber," but it was a clear sake. The taste is sweet like mango and sour like pineapple, and the mouthfeel is a little torrid. It was delicious with a tropical impression. It would go well with carpaccio with citrus sauces.

Alcohol content: 15 80% Omachi from Okayama Prefecture, 20% other sake rice Rice polishing ratio: 50 At the Fukushima Station area on a business trip. I had previously had the nama-shu version. It too had a full aroma and no gassy feeling. The impression was of a heavy, dense sake with a strong sweetness. It is the opposite of a dry sake like Tsukihaku, which is also a sake made under wrappers. After all, each sake has its own character and is delicious.

Alcohol content: 15 Yamashu No.4 Rice polishing ratio: 50 This sake was brewed near Fukushima station on a business trip. The sake rice is Yamagata Prefecture's Yamashu No. 4. This is the first time I have heard of this sake rice. I had often seen this sake at Sake-no-Wa, so I was very curious about it. The aroma was fresh and fruity, like ripe pears. In the mouth, there is a slight effervescence, and the taste is also juicy, like a pear. Sweetness predominates, but there is a slight acidity in the aftertaste. Very tasty and I am glad I had the chance to try it.

I have had Jyushiyo's Junmai Daiginjo Sake Mirai before, and I certainly felt something close to it. Sweet fruity and very tasty. Hanamup is available at a reasonable price, so I will try to buy it when I see it.

Alcohol content: 15 Yumeko, Brewer's alcohol Rice polishing ratio: 43 On a business trip near Fukushima station. I compared it with a Junmai Ginjo by Masamune Kikki after drinking it. It has a gorgeous ginjo aroma and a fruity taste that is hard to believe it is an aruze. It starts out sweet, but the aftertaste is clean and crisp. There is a slight alcohol taste in the aftertaste, but it is not bothersome. I have the impression that Masamune Instrument is more famous for its aruze than for its junmai (pure rice), but it was just as delicious as one would expect. It went well with the well-seasoned potato salad.

Good evening, Mr. UM. Here it is, my first Gakki-sama and I'm holding it back in the cellar 😁✨✨. I'm trying to imagine if it's a sake that would go well with strong flavored food ⤴️ 🎵 I'm looking forward to it since I don't have much experience with alcoholic drinks.

Alcohol content: 15 Banshu Yamadanishiki Rice polishing ratio: 60 At the Fukushima station area on a business trip. Fruity and dry, the aroma is not so strong and reserved. It has a bitter aftertaste and is suitable for a mid-meal drink. The fact that it does not interfere with food was a favorable impression.

Alcohol content: 15 Aizan Rice polishing ratio: 80 I was in the vicinity of Fukushima station on a business trip. Since the 222 check-in was the first number in a row, I decided to try Erwu, which I had been curious about for some time. I thought it would have a strong umami flavor due to its low refining rate, but it was a very refreshing sake. Maybe because it has been a few days since it was opened? I could taste a little more flavor right after opening the mouth, but the impression I got was that it was super dry. It is hard to believe that the alcohol content is 15 degrees. The sensation is only about 7 degrees of alcohol. It was very easy to drink, but it was interesting to see the difference from the usual Ni-Rabbit.

Alcohol content: 13%. HOMASA Rice polishing ratio: undisclosed At the Fukushima Station area on a business trip. Gonouzai" refers to sake brewed under the five regulations listed below. The more "No-No-Brew" there are, the rarer the sake becomes, and this one is limited to only 5,000 bottles. Kikuchi River basin Hozu Nunobrewing Wooden vat brewing No fertilizer No fertilizers, No pesticides The aroma is like pear, apple and melon. The aroma was like pears, apples, and melons. The fizziness was just right even a few days after opening, which made me wonder if the mouth opening was highly carbonated, as is characteristic of sansho. I would think so. Personally, I enjoyed the melon soda feeling. I think it would go well with smoked salmon, etc., just like champagne or sparkling wine.

Alcohol content: 16 Yamadanishiki (Koji rice), Yumenokou (Kake rice) Polishing ratio: 50 At Fukushima station on a business trip. I drank Sharaku on the same day I drank Miyazumi. I thought it might be sweet because it is nigori sake. But it was clean and dry. Was it because it was a summer sake? It was not very sweet, but I could feel its fruity aroma and mouthfeel at the beginning of drinking. However, I personally prefer Miyazumi, which I drank for the first time.

Since I came all the way to Fukushima, I ordered it. Compared to Sharaku, Miyazumi has a fruity and rich flavor. I like fruity and rich sake, so I honestly think I prefer it to Sharaku. I am glad I had a chance to try it.

Alcohol content: 16 Gohyakumangoku Rice polishing ratio: 55 Brewed slowly at low temperature to bring out the flavor of the rice. It was brewed slowly at a low temperature to bring out the flavor of the rice. It is said to have been brewed slowly at a low temperature to bring out the flavor of the rice. The taste is heavy and rich in the mouth. It was defeated by white-meat fish sashimi. It is better to pair it with fried fish or other strong dishes that will not be defeated by this sake.
