SILVER7 15 degrees Yamadanishiki.
It is light and has a delicious flavor that quickly escapes. It goes well with fried mackerel, a special dish at the restaurant!
Miyamanishiki. This year's hiyaoroshi.
It has a good flavor and harmony. Of course, it was delicious! As expected of Honkin-san. It's better in the fall than in the raw sake!
2025 Jungin Yumachirokuju Namaishu 16%.
Mellow drunken whale. You can feel the rice very much. Slightly carbonated, but a little sweet, so add some ice.
I would like to drink Junmai of Yumachi with hi-ire.
It becomes just right and light from the third day. It goes well with chocolate.
Yamae Nishiki. 16 degrees. It's like I knew it from the beginning!
It comes in so easily that it makes you want to back up the back number or totsukkomi!
This is 16 degrees. The first touch.
What happens after that?
Although it gets a little thicker, it has a good mouthfeel and smoothness. It is like a good fireworks display in summer. Yamae Nishiki here is the best.
Japanese rice wine ultimate.
I'm drinking it at 14 degrees.
I think I'll drink it with hiya, which is rare.
2024BY: A nice, easy drinking sake, 16.5 degrees, but goes in rather smoothly. Sake degree -9, acidity 3.2.
It has a colorful taste! The acidity rises with meals. Is it the taste of the unique house yeast? It has a different taste when served with rice. It becomes rounded. This can be enjoyed with meals!
They say the taste changes every year because of the natural yeast attached to the house. So you should try it. This year's is also available and I want to buy it this week to compare. Interesting!
This was the first hiyaoroshi of 2025. This sake represents Kiso🍶. Miyamanishiki from Nagano Prefecture. What a surprise! This is Nanasho!
And as time goes by, the mellowness and umami fuse together. Thick, spicy and delicious! This is another one!
Shirakaba-Nishiki 17%, 59% polished rice
Jungin. It is soft. Junmai is more enjoyable at first. It is sweet, not strong, and breaks easily in the mouth. It may be good with a meal. Junmai is still better. I'm glad I went for the small bottle. I will try Junmai at an izakaya next time.
Junmai Daiginjo is served in first class on airplanes.
Junmai sake is full-bodied and sweet, with a savory flavor that comes later. It is not my favorite in terms of balance, but it is more alive with umami and saltiness than vinegar.
100% Koshi-tanrei sake rice from Ojiya, Uonuma Prefecture
16%, fire-brewed
Good, nourishing and well-balanced dryness, with a softness that is typical of Niigata.
This is my first drink! It is so smooth and easy to drink. It's dry but smooth, and there's nothing stuck to it. Before you know it, you'll be dreaming about it.
The name comes from a poem by Rui Yoshida: "Tosa sake is blue, drunkenness is straight. Very good balance after the second day. The balance is very good after the second day, and the way it breaks down is good.
I want to taste it again!
Good sake. A little sweet. When paired with meat and potatoes, it becomes even more crumbly. It also has a spiciness. I used to drink Jungin a lot. Junmai is also good!
Sake from Shiojiri, Nagano Prefecture.
Unique taste. A little hard for a single person.
It may be hard to find a meal that goes well with it.
I'm glad I didn't buy a bottle.
