First ice breaker in two years. The thrill of coming home thinking this is in the fridge at home. It is just so good. Thank you, Phillip!

2025 new release from Koei Kiku. It seems to be made with Hokkaido Ginpu. I found it to be less acidic than most of Koei Kiku's. Light sweetness and overall freshness. I have a feeling the taste will change after a few days.

As a lover of melon flavor, this sake is not to be missed. I bought it in a bottle. Before I bought it, I had read everyone's comments on Sake-no-wa, so I was able to eliminate my excessive expectations of melon flavor beforehand.
When I drank it, I certainly didn't think it was melon. But it is very tasty with a good balance of flavors as a sake. It had punch and gentleness. It's good!

Whenever I travel to Tokyo on business, I always stop at a liquor store in a station. I delay my Shinkansen by two trains to make this stop. I always decide to buy a bento boxed lunch with a delicious fatty Spanish Iberian pork. On this day, I was so excited that I bought two of them, one with a shioumai bento from Sakiyo-ken. Having tried it, my impression is that one bento is better than the other.
I decided to try Sake Mirai's Houou Mita, pushing aside Omine's Summer Sake and Yokoyama's Summer Jungin from the many sake selections available. The taste impression is kind of thin. If you think this is thin, then you are under the illusion that I don't know what I am talking about, and I am being tested. However, if there is an expression that describes a generally easy-to-drink sake that lacks any punch or tanginess, this sake might be in the top ranks of that list. It drinks well, but it's not for me.

I came home from a business trip and had a bottle of this special one. The unique ginjo aroma of Hana-yoso came deep into my nose.
This time, I felt bitterness, which is a new sensation for this brand. It was a feeling that stimulated my entire tongue, so I took my time and sipped it little by little.

I bought a bottle of my favorite, this time a bottle. It tastes as good as I expected, and I will be happy to drink it after work for the next two weeks. I've been drinking it nonstop for the past two weeks, and it's making my salmon life more fulfilling. Thanks to the couple at the brewery.

I let it sit in the refrigerator and save it for when I want to drink it. One of my favorite things about winter is this sake. I have had several bottles of this sake every year for several years. This year, too, the taste is gentle and very satisfying.

I have been curious about this pin angle for a while. I was excited to buy it. I imagined from the jacket that it would have a strong sweetness and a little bit of umami, and started drinking it. However, it was not such a loose taste,
It was an authentic, refreshing and delicious sake.

Shinkame is a sake that is drunk with respect and gratitude. This time it was a pure Yamahai Junmai sake, which I have been avoiding. I imagined that it would be mellow, thick, strong, and drunken.
When I drank it, it was as I expected. I thought I was getting drunk too quickly, but then I realized it was 18.5 percent alcohol, and I was convinced that was right!

The taste changed on the fourth day. The strong taste of Yamahai was cut off and the flavor opened up with umami dominating. I thought this was good, but then I thought to myself, "If I like this, I shouldn't drink Shinkame's Yamahai.

After working overtime, I went to the nearest station and waited for my child to return home from cram school. 15 minutes before 10:00 p.m., I was standing outside the ticket gate. It was a bit tough, but I persevered for the sake of my child, who was studying hard.
Finally, we have a drink with dinner. I can't say anything except that it's delicious!

It starts and ends with sweetness. I thought it was a sake that only felt sweet. It had a gentleness to it that was perfect for an evening when I came home after a long day at work.

Yamada Nishiki from the old Yoneda Village, 12 per cent alcohol. A little gassy and clear sake. I have decided to keep supporting Nichinichi, and I enjoyed it as well. Thank you, Mr. Matsumoto.

At my usual liquor store, the lineup was not very decisive for me, as I am a jacket-buying type of person. In such a case, I was torn between Ichikyorai and Kutouryu Junmai, thinking that Kuroryu Kutouryu is a safe choice. I chose the Kutouryuu, hoping for a rummy taste. I finished it in a flash and was satisfied as expected.

When I was told again what is yamahoroshi, I googled what it is.
It is said to be the manual process of grinding steamed rice and koji in a vat, which is necessary to produce lactic acid from naturally occurring lactic acid bacteria in the air or on the ceiling of the brewery and to propagate yeast to make sake mother. It is said to be extremely hard labor. In other words, I understood that the term "yamahoroshi" is a paraphrase of the term "nama-hashiwazukuri.
I like Yuho very much because of its characteristic flavor. If I met it at an izakaya, I would drink the first one with a refreshing taste and order the second one with this. It is a drink that gets you in the right gear for drinking.
This sake is made from Notohikari and Gohyakumangoku sake produced in Ishikawa Prefecture at a brewery in Hakui, which was damaged by the Noto Peninsula earthquake.

Refreshingly clean, with light acidity and a lighter bitterness. I didn't find much sweetness. After work, I picked up the kids from cram school, listened to my wife complain about her friends at school, came home and listened to my wife tell me what happened today, and my turn to take a bath was still far away, so I drank a glass with pickles and felt it soak into my body in a state of total weakness.

Kouei Kiku's newest creation, a blended sake, is said to have a new taste.
The brewer recommended tasting it 2-3 days after opening the bottle.
I thought I would do so, but to my disappointment I drank it all the next day after opening the bottle. It was very tasty even before the taste change. It has a gorgeous flavor that opens up in the midst of moderate acidity. Even if you drink it blind, you will probably recognize it as Koei-Kiku, but you can tell from the sake that they are taking on a new challenge. It is a series that makes you want to support it!

I bought a car so I could go to the liquor store I wanted to go to on the weekends. Happy about this, I left home early for the dealer's one-month inspection and went to the liquor store. However, I had forgotten that the national highways are congested on weekends. After taking many loopholes, I arrived at the liquor store on time, just as my navigation system had predicted.
Since I was driving, I decided to drink a bottle of sake. I was torn between Sharaku and Jyuseki, but since I had decided to buy tasake today, I decided to go with this cosy bottle.
Every time I drink it, my impression of the flavor changes. This time it has a trompe l'oeil can and a strong alcohol taste. But the image of a beautiful sake remains the same. Expect the taste to change as the day goes by.

I bought it on a business trip to Toyama, and a senior staff member at the company recommended Hayashi, but I could not take it home because it was only available in one bottle. But I couldn't take it home because I only had a bottle of Hayashi. I felt lucky to have found a bottle of fresh sake.
I went home and drank it right away. I found it to be a beautiful sake with a strong ginjo aroma. The taste is not distinctive, so it goes well with food. It was delicious!

Omachi sake produced in Okayama. Purchased at a liquor store near Okayama Station on a business trip. I bought it without any prior information. The label reads "Since 1716. It seems that this sake brewery has been in business for over 300 years.
On the third day, the aroma and taste suddenly changed, and a gorgeous flavor opened up in the mouth. It is very tasty, with a strong rice flavor and a gentle sweetness at the same time. I found a good sake in Okayama.
