I thought it was modern, but it was dry. The impression changes depending on how long you taste it: fruity aroma when you swallow it right away, and classical aroma when you keep rolling it around in your mouth. The bottle is modern in design, but the brush strokes give it a classical element. It is truly a new wine from the past.

From the nose, one senses a gorgeous acidity. Along with a slight carbonation, the attack is sweet, with hints of peach, pineapple, and green apple. The sweetness of banana and honey mingles with a dry taste like bamboo grass leaves, and the flavor develops depth. The finish is concentrated with fruitiness and rice flavor.

Different aromas can be enjoyed in the nose, attack, taste, and finish. Overall, it is rich, not so much refreshing as is often the case with modern wines, and has a sense of heaviness that is typical of Jyushidai.

This is the first sake that tastes best when drunk in a wine glass. It has depth of flavor and you can sense the work of elaborate raw yeast production. It has a different approach from classic Sengoku, with a slightly more classic flavor from the base modern sake.

Aroma of cohesive rice flavor, reminiscent of honey and mushrooms. The mouthfeel is slightly sweet, with a pleasantly bubbly taste, yogurt, banana, cream cheese, and rice cakes. The crisp, dry flavor is centered on a freshness that can also be sensed.

The sake rice used for Naraman, "Sake Mirai," was transferred from Jyushiyo. The aroma is closer to classic, but the taste has a modern aroma. I would like to introduce it as a classic recommended to modern lovers.

It's the time of year when you can feel the arrival of spring. I would like to drink this bottle while watching the cherry blossoms at night!
Since I am at home, there are no cherry blossoms, but instead I would enjoy it with sakura mochi (rice cake with sakura blossoms).
The slight classic flavor that spreads behind the fruity aroma is impressive. (A characteristic of many of Kido's seasonal products, I know.)

The cool, refreshing aroma is reminiscent of melon, apple and muscat. The slight effervescence that accompanies this aroma is pleasant on the palate. The palate is light and dry, with hints of bamboo grove, lychee, and violets. The finish has a slight honey and rice flavor.

Kangiku has a strong image of a cool, melon-like aroma, and it is still alive and well this time.
The label expressing Aizan, known as the diamond of sake rice, is impressive.
Aiyama's own characteristic "sweet, rich and mellow" flavor can be felt from the middle to the finish.

Aromas of violets, peaches, and melon, and tastes of lemon, banana, and yuzu.
The aroma and taste are slightly different, so the moment you put it in your mouth, you will say, "Oh! I was surprised.
Along with the slightly bubbly sensation, you can also taste the slight umami of rice.
At the finish, all the aromas you have felt so far come together.

As with the white label, the sake is crystal clear and transparent.
The first sip is a shock, accompanied by a slight effervescence.
As the description says, "Sake with a sour taste like lemon," you can enjoy a taste that is different from the modern sake you are used to.
Because it is characterized by its acidic sweetness, it is difficult to match with sweet dishes such as fruits and sweets, or dishes with a strong flavor such as simmered dishes.
Best served with light dishes such as sushi.

The regular is a strong and light local sake, but the raw variety is cleaner. It's like a modern nama-zake made by a classic sake brewery. It has a strong ginjo aroma and can be served with sashimi and kaiseki dishes.

This sake is said to be inspired by the image of a key that opens the door to a new world of sake. It offers a light and refreshing taste with a strong acidity, while still retaining the umami of the rice. It is neither sweet nor dry, neither modern nor classic, like wine and sake added together and divided by two, it is truly a new world, or worse, an "evil way. This is a sake that I would like to introduce to my friends, including the story element.

The alcohol content of 18% is a bit high for a muddy sake, and it tastes dry, but perhaps because it is nigorizake, it is very easy to drink.

The melon aroma of the JAXA label I had previously received was impressive, so this time I had a draft sake brewed with a unique sake rice called "Hitanishiki" from Ibaraki Prefecture. The melon aroma is still present, and I was able to recognize that this aroma is the charm of the Ogawa yeast used in Urasato.

Muscat, LaFrance, grapefruit and melon. This is a new Masa that I was allowed to purchase specially at my favorite store. It has a cool and dry taste on the palate, with a moderately strong carbonation. It has a fine, delicate, champagne-like taste. The sharpness is also impressive, with a bitter citrus aftertaste. In a good sense, it is like tonic water and champagne added together and divided by two.

The aroma is especially shocking, no longer a high chu! (in a good way).
I thought it was purely amazing that this aroma was made from rice without using any flavoring agents. It is quite heavy for a modern type, which is exactly what Yamahai is! It's like "Yamahai".

Rice cake, butter, minerals, walnuts. It has a dry aroma with a twang on the nose. The mineral, light flavor is full of aromas of concentrated rice flavor. It is a little heavy, but not too heavy, and is good as an in-between-dinner drink.

Banana, rum, rice flavor, melon. The sweet taste is impressive from start to finish. The aroma gives a sharp sweetness with a twang, and as it enters the mouth, along with the tangy sweetness, the richness and bitterness of the concentrated rice flavor comes out and the taste is deep. The acidity is weak, but it is a modern type that is neither too heavy nor too spicy. It is a versatile sake that goes well with any food as a food sake.

Melon, muscat, aloe, young grass, and rice cake. A cool, fruity aroma. The elegant white cloudy color allows you to visually enjoy the taste. Weak fizziness with a long-lasting mouthfeel. While the coolness characteristic of kangiku can be felt, the sweetness is moderate and light. The rice flavor like rice cake remains in the finish.

This is just my personal opinion, but while the carbonation lasts a long time, by the time that carbonation wears off, you feel a miscellaneous sensuality, so you might want to pour it down your throat while the carbonation is still there. That way of drinking it would be 100 points.

Lychee, orange, pineapple and aloe. A fruity, refreshing aroma, with a low sweetness taste. Especially the weakly effervescent, shwashy mouthfeel will make you feel its charm once you take a sip. And the refined taste with high ginjo aroma and the refreshing taste of ramune are exquisitely blended, allowing you to enjoy a refreshing taste without feeling heavy.

Kangiku's once-a-year limited edition sake is an emerging force in modern sake and one that is unrivaled in popularity. It is also a pleasure to drink on a sunny day or during this rainy season. This is one of those special bottles that makes you look forward to summer.
