九平次　別設　第三幕　閃光の種 2024 Kuheiji Betsushitsurae Daisanmaki Senkou no Shu 2024 原料米　兵庫県山田錦100% 精米歩合　不明 アルコール　15 Rice 100% Yamadanishiki from Hyogo Seimaibuai undisclosed Alcohol 15% Slightly effervescent. Faint greenish hue Overall The flavor is delicious. We love Kuheiji, so we are biased. The initial flavor had a sudden Koji / yeasty flavor but the flavor mellowed in subsequent sips with a lip-smacking umami richness. This Kuheiji develops some citrus flavors as it approached room temperature

Hakuba no Kishi Junmai Daiginjo Nama Hakuba no Kishi Junmai Daiginjo Nama Nigori Polishing ratio 50%. Alcohol 15 Seimaibuai 50% Alcohol 15 The first sip reminds one of a mild fruitiness like banana or melon. The sweetness of koji goes well with white rice. Sushi, onigiri, chazuke (rice with green tea), etc. would be good. Thick mouth feel, really sticks to your teeth & tongue Flavor is like melon or unripe banana. Rather sweet as we approach the bottom of the bottle. Goes well with fresh peach slices and Nagano Purple grapes. Purchased @ Otaru Takano on 2025/09/18

Sake degree +5 Seimaibuai 70% Alcohol 14 Nihonshudo +5 It has been a long time since I have had this sake, but it is as stable as if I had returned to my old home. It goes well with cream cheese with bonito flakes on it. Dry, with crisp tangy grassy finish and a bit of an alcohol flavored punch. Good pairing with sashimi Too strong for anago tempura, maybe not well suited for the batter Pretty good with "oyster Yuba ponzu jelly" Oyster Yuba ponzu jelly Good pairing with sashimi Too strong for anago tempura, maybe not well suited for the batter Pretty good with "oyster Yuba ponzu jelly" Oyster Yuba ponzu jelly 2025/09/17 Rakuten Rakuten Hokkaido Otaru

Yeast used: Kyokai No.701 Koji used: Yellow Koji for Shochu, Shiraya Kimoto Seimaibuai 90 Alcohol 14 Yeast used: Kyoukai #701 Koji used: Yellow Shochu Koji Byakuya It is indeed an interesting sake. It can be described as a dessert sake, and it seems to go well with Western food. For example, grilled beef with balsamic sauce would be a good match for its sweet and sour taste. Strong distinct flavor, Very unlike any regular sake. Tangy, like drinking whey separated from yogurt. This is far too acidic to drink with sushi or sashimi. We tried it with seafood Ahijo and some garlicky cheese spread on a baguette

I think it could go well with a meat dish, like shogayaki or sukiyaki or maybe a cheeseburger.

Highly unusual sake but very compelling to drink. Maybe it’s a good source for probiotics? Ha ha.
