Alcohol content: 16%. Bizen Omachi Rice polishing ratio: 55 It is slightly cloudy because it is orikara-mi.

Alcohol content: 16 Dewa Tsanzan Rice polishing ratio: 40 This is a limited edition sake from Chiyotoshi, a company that produces many dry sake. The moment it enters the mouth, sweetness and fruity flavors fill the mouth, and the finish is clean and dry with a clean cut. This was very tasty.

Alcohol content: 15 Shinnosuke Rice polishing ratio: 70 At a sake meeting in Tokyo. The sake rice is Shinnosuke, a well-known Niigata brand rice. It was so delicious when I had tasted it before that I had purchased it for home use. I was intrigued by the fact that this sake was brewed with Shinnosuke rice. The aroma is not so strong. The aroma is not so strong. On the other hand, the taste was rich with a predominance of sweetness. Yet the alcohol content was zero, and it was delicious. I felt that good rice makes good sake.

Alcohol content: 13%. Akita Sake Komachi, Sake (Yamahai Junmai Sake) Rice polishing ratio: 50% (Koji rice), 60% (Kake rice) At a sake meeting in Tokyo. The sake was thought to be extremely sweet with a sake strength of -43, but it matched very well with the apple-like acidity. It was highly praised for its moderate acidity, which made it easy to drink. It also has an impression of yogurt and generally has a refreshing taste.

Alcohol content: 16%. Omachi Rice polishing ratio: 70 At a sake meeting in Tokyo. This is a series of sake competitions in which sake brewed with the same conditions (rice polishing ratio, yeast) other than rice are compared. The March sake was Kame-no-o. The taste is clean and dry, with a bitter flavor dominated by acidity and bitterness. When we previously drank July's Omachi, it was a food sake with a fruity sweetness and acidity, while still having a strong alcohol taste.

Alcohol content: 15 Sake Mirai: 80%, other sake rice: 20%. Rice polishing ratio: 40 I wondered what to drink for the 333rd check-in, but decided on Asahitaka, which I drank for the first time. At a sake meeting in Tokyo. Although it is an Asahitaka, it is a Junmai Daiginjo-shu, not an arugine-shu. The main rice used is Sake Mirai, and the rice polishing ratio is 40%, so it is practically equivalent to a high class Jyushidai. I tried to search for it on Sake-no-wa, but there was only one other post about it, so it is a rare sake. It was supposed to be exhibited at a sake event in Yamagata, but due to the Corona disaster, it was cancelled and a small amount was released to the market. The mouthfeel is slightly carbonated. This may be due to the fact that it is a fresh sake. The aroma is of peach, pear, muscat, and vanilla. The taste is very fruity and juicy just like the aroma, and the balance of sweet and sour is very good. There is no sense of alcohol at all. It was one of the five best sake I have ever tasted. It is a pity that I will not be able to encounter it again.

Alcohol content: 14.5%. Gohyakumangoku Rice polishing ratio: undisclosed At a sake meeting in Tokyo. Sashu is a different name for Sado Island in the Edo period. It is a valuable sake available only on Sado Island. The aroma is subdued and not very perceptible. It has a slightly carbonated gaseous sensation, which only makes the tip of the tongue chili. The taste is clear and dry with a predominance of acidity. There is a slight bitterness in the aftertaste. The impression is that it is a light food sake.

Alcohol content: 15 Akitsuho Rice polishing ratio: 50 At a sake meeting in Tokyo. Kaze no Mori is a sake brewery that does not use specific names such as Junmai Ginjo for all of its sake. It is the same as Sentori. As the name "petit" suggests, this sake is small in size (375ml). The price is less than 1,000 yen, making it easy to buy. The contents are the same as Kaze no Mori Akitsuho 507. It is smooth on the palate and slightly acidic. It is a delicious sake that is easy to drink but also has a strong umami flavor.

Alcohol content: 15 Hakutsuru Nishiki Polishing ratio: 50 At a sake meeting in Tokyo. Hakutsuru-Nishiki was the main sake of the day. The aroma is a beautiful ginjo aroma with a fruity flavor. The sweetness is still dominant, but it is lighter and fresher than other sake brewed with Hakutsuru Nishiki. This may be due to the acidity that follows the sweetness and the clear aftertaste. Among the other sakes we drank that day, it is suitable as a mid-meal drink.

Alcohol content: 14%. Saga no Hana Rice polishing ratio:undisclosed At a sake meeting in Tokyo. Koei Kiku is often seen at sake shops these days. The aroma is closest to grapefruit. As the name suggests, the taste is citrusy with a predominance of acidity, such as green apple and lime. The next taste is sweet and umami, and in general, it is a refreshing and easy-drinking sake.

Alcohol content: 15.5%. Hakutsuru Nishiki Rice polishing ratio: 45 At a sake meeting in Tokyo. Hakutsuru-Nishiki was the main sake of the day. The aroma is fruity and gorgeous. The mouthfeel is smooth, and the impression is that sweetness prevails among the well-balanced Jikin. This sweetness seems to be a characteristic of Hakutsuru-nishiki. As I like sweet sake, Hakutsuru-nishiki sake is my favorite. Since Jikin has a good balance of sweetness, acidity, and bitterness, it was interesting that it seemed less sweet than other Hakutsuru-nishiki sake.

Alcohol content: 15 Hakutsuru-Nishiki: 80%, other sake rice: 20%. Rice Polishing Ratio: 40% (Koji rice), 50% (Kake rice) At a sake meeting in Tokyo. Hakutsuru-nishiki was the main sake. Jyundo Ittou is my favorite series, and Hakutsuru Nishiki is new to me. The sweetness is quite prominent among the Jyundo Ittou series. There was not much acidity and no bitterness at all. I like this sake very much with its sweetness and umami. This is delicious.

Alcohol content: 15.5%. Yamadanishiki, Kami no Ho Rice polishing ratio: 55 At an izakaya in Ise, Mie Prefecture, on a business trip. This is a limited edition sake created by blending Sashi's Junmai Ginjo (Yamadanishiki) and Junmai Ginjo (Kami no Hoto). Since this sake was created by something that is not usually done at home, I ordered it out of curiosity. I could feel the smoothness of the mouthfeel, but I still felt that it lost some of its characteristics. It is easy to drink, so I think it is good to drink it as such rather than enjoying the difference in taste.

Alcohol content: 15.5%. Gohyakumangoku: 80%, Yamadanishiki: 20%. Polishing ratio: 60 At an izakaya in Ise, Mie Prefecture, on a business trip. This is a freshly pressed new sake of Jikin. I have had the hi-iru sake several times, but this was my first time to drink the unpasteurized type. The aroma is like that of green apples, but it is moderate. It is a delicious sake with pleasant acidity and bitterness, and a strong umami flavor. I would like to compare it with the hi-iru type someday.
