This is a daiginjo from Hakutsuru, a very large sake brewery in Hyogo Prefecture. Even though it is a Daiginjo, it is a bottle that is easy on the wallet and can be bought for less than 1,000 yen. It has a little bit of an "aluzoe" feel to it, but considering the price, I think it's a good bottle. You can taste the flavor of the rice from the mellow attack and full flavor. Although it is not as good as a modern sake like Senkou, you can also feel the basic ginjo aroma on your tongue. Mochi, bamboo, walnut, violet ・Overall 64 points (aroma 2 points, mouthfeel 3.5 points, taste 2.5 points, aftertaste 3.5 points, concept 3 points, cosmetic correction +3, availability +3)

We will have Organic Natur 2021, a noble sake from Senkou. The rice is polished to a 90% polish ratio! The attack on the palate is mild and fruity. The mouthfeel is mild and fruity, with a strong ginjo aroma and a sweetness that is the result of concentrating the flavor of the rice, which can only be experienced with Organic Naturals. It is the sweetest and most elegant sake I have ever had. If I had to guess, I'd say it's close to the sweetness of Akatake. I think it would be perfect as an aperitif or dessert. This is a sake ver. of "Godfather", which is a representative of Moscato sparring or sweet high concentration cocktail. ・Warabimochi, rose, violet, cotton candy, muscat General evaluation 90 points (3.5 points for aroma, 5 points for mouthfeel, 4 points for taste, 5 points for aftertaste, 5 points for concept)

KABUTOMUSHI" is a summer specialty from Senkou. It has always been a famous summer sake, but with its cute rainbow-colored beetle label and clear bottle design that makes you want to drink it on a cool summer night, it has high visual points and can be enjoyed by beginners. The sweet and fruity aroma has a ginjo feel to it, but it doesn't have a high quality feel to it, and it makes you want to gulp it down in a good way. The slight carbonation in the attack is very subtle and adds a cool feeling to the fruity flavor. The aftertaste is edgy and sharp, like the bitterness of a lychee. It's a wine that doesn't need any accompaniments and is more than enjoyable on its own. Looking forward to next year... Green apple, Muscat, Lychee, Banana, Mozzarella cheese General comment 90 points (aroma 4 points, mouthfeel 5 points, taste 5 points, aftertaste 3.5 points, concept 5 points)

Continuing on from the other day's Drinking Comparison Series! This one is a Junmai Ginjo-shu brewed with the precious Aizan from Hyogo prefecture and limited to June. The bitterness that comes from nowhere intertwines with the flavor of the rice to create an elegant flavor not found in junmai-shu. It is completely different from the standard Junmai-shu and has its own goodness ♫. It has a refreshing yet hearty flavor, so it's the kind of sake you'd like to drink with namero, iburi gakko, or other appetizers that have a lot of strong flavors. The pink label is also charming lol.

Fruity aroma and mouthfeel. On the contrary, the taste is crisp and the aftertaste is just like sake! The aftertaste creates a feeling of "This is sake!

The color is almost transparent, but has a slight yellowish tint. Refreshing aroma. It has a strong ginjo aroma with muscat aromas. The aftertaste is dry and crisp.

Hakuto Shuzo's Ichiken is located in Itoshima City, Fukuoka Prefecture, which is famous as a tourist destination rich in nature. From the jet-black bottle, you can expect the sake to have a modern atmosphere. As soon as you put it on your palate, the flavor of the rice spreads like a fluff. The aroma is creamy but refreshing. The taste is clean and sweet. It will go well with light dishes such as fugu sashimi. The alcohol content is low, so you can drink it easily!

One more bottle from Mimurosugi. A summer-only junmai sake. When you compare different sake of the same brand, you can get to know the concept of the whole brand. This one is a limited time only sake, so it has a colorful feel to it, and makes a great bottle to drink on a midsummer's day. The aroma is refreshing. Green apple, melon. The flavor of the rice is dry and petite and melts into the incredibly sweet fruitiness. Watermelon, melon, green apple, muscat. The sweetness continues with a refreshing aftertaste. While the standard Junmai Ginjo is characterized by a freshness reminiscent of early summer, this one is reminiscent of a midsummer day with wind chimes ringing and glaring sunlight reflecting off the water. ・Overall evaluation 88 points (3 points for aroma, 5 points for mouthfeel, 4.5 points for taste, 4.5 points for aftertaste, 5 points for concept)

I had a Junmai Ginjo from the standard line of Imanishi Shuzo's main brand "Mimurosugi" in Nara prefecture. It is characterized by its sweet aroma and strong flavor. It can be enjoyed on its own as an aperitif, or with light dishes such as shiso, myoga and squid. The aroma is a little sweet, with sweetness of rice, mascarpone and banana. The mouthfeel is light. The fruitiness increases as you taste and drink it, but it is not like white wine and has a characteristic sweetness unique to sake.

When you want to drink warm sake with gusto, packaged sake is surprisingly good, isn't it? I love Hakutsuru because it's not too spicy and refreshing ♫. It has a mild mouthfeel and a sweet taste. Daifuku, honey, lychee. The aftertaste is sharp but disappears quickly, leaving no residue in a good sense. It leaves no trace. Just like Hakutsuru! The alcohol aroma becomes stronger when heated, but it's good at lukewarm levels.

 Isn't this a wine? A sake so fruity and refreshing you'd think it was! But it's 100% Yamada Nishiki! By the way, it seems that this sake brewery makes wine in Burgundy! Burgundy is the pinnacle of wine, and it's a very difficult place to make wine. If you're going to drink it, definitely drink it in a wine glass! This is super delicious! The aroma is of white grapes. The aroma is of white grapes, like a Chardonnay, with an acidic wine-like flavor. The mouthfeel is refreshing and cool. The slight foam is also nice. As you taste it, the sweetness of the fruit like Muscat gradually increases. A slight lime and citrus acidity accents the palate.

This is Sensuke's second bottle! Unlike the first bottle, which was a special junmai, this one is a junmai daiginjo.
