比羅夫大吟醸 山田錦
へべれけしぎん
Fruity and gorgeous aroma
You will be surprised at the gap when you put it in your mouth with that impression.
After the "sake-like" sensation that pierces through to the nose, the dense and mellow richness and umami that is typical of low-temperature aging rises to the surface.
Personally, I am not a fan of ginjo-shu because I think the aroma and flavor are exaggerated, but this sake is beautifully matured and matured, and I honestly felt it was delicious.

へべれけしぎん
From the name, I had imagined a fluffy, dreamy, round taste like in a shoujo manga, but I was pleasantly surprised to find that I was wrong.
It has a clear, manly flavor profile.
It goes down the throat and has a nice sharpness.
It is the kind of sake that you can soak up while realizing that you are enjoying sake right now!

へべれけしぎん
The scent is a little peculiar.
(If I may describe it without fear of misinterpretation, my sense is that it is rubbery? Quaint and complex scent...)
The taste is also unique and strangely multi-layered.
It is quite punchy, like a bullet train running through the air, sprinkled with spicy, upper-range flavors.
I have the impression that this is a sake for advanced drinkers, and I'm not sure I'm ready for it, but it has a unique character that will stick with those who are into it!

へべれけしぎん
The discreet ginjo aroma gives the sake a bouncy mouthfeel that is hard to imagine, and a "sake-like" sensation that is clearly conveyed.
It is numbing and sharp!
The appearance of a workman who is unpretentious, but makes you feel comfortable and intoxicated.
Sake with a sense of cleanliness that makes you want to savor it with roasted squid as a snack.

Kokken純米吟醸 銅ラベル 本生
へべれけしぎん
Elegant and soft ginjo aroma
Mild in both mouthfeel and throatfeel, and usually a pleasant sipping experience.
Ibushigin type without extreme assertiveness.
(*I had an image of it being more stout and stubborn from the naming, but it was completely overturned.)
There is nothing outstanding about it, but it works well as a stand-alone sake or as a food sake, and is undeniably a "good sake" with a large capacity.

Hello.
Thank you for drinking sake from my hometown, Minamiaizu Town!

へべれけしぎん
Dear nabe
Hello.
Thank you for your comment.
I am proud to be a local with good sake! (We are from Akita).
I'm sure there are many more attractive sake in Aizu, so I'll have some in the future when I get the chance ✨.

へべれけしぎん
The gorgeous fragrance gives off a very naughty atmosphere.
(The bottle is also very expensive and uneven.)
The first impression is as rich as the aroma.
However, it seems to be soft, but then the spiciness comes in the last half of the bottle, and then it is surprisingly sharp and sharp.
It leaves an intense aftertaste.

Hohaiレインボー 純米大吟醸 生酒
へべれけしぎん
From the soft touch and gentle mouthfeel, the flavor expands and spreads at once.
The taste is complex and deep, without the freshness of a pure sake.
Strange!
What is it...if the sake we usually drink is like ordinary edamame, it is like tea beans...? (*Sendai citizen-like metaphor)
Like the reverberations of a fine hall, it slips away softly, leaving a lingering aftertaste.
Delicious!
The ranking has been updated 🤤.

Haginotsuru麹Mix 試験醸造酒 生原酒
へべれけしぎん
A sake brewed by exchanging rice malt with Koganezawa (Kawataka Shoten in Misato-machi, Toda-gun, Miyagi Prefecture), Haginotsuru is the main brewer of this sake.
It has a strong mouthfeel with a certain effervescence and a mysterious taste...
It is fun to sip while thinking about what kind of snacks it would be best to pair it with!

Chikuha純米吟醸 saved by 新澤醸造店
へべれけしぎん
This sake was produced by Ishikawa Prefecture's Kazuma Sake Brewery, which was commissioned by Miyagi Prefecture's Shinzawa Brewery (representative brands: Hakuboshi, Atago no Matsu, etc.) to brew sake following the Noto Peninsula earthquake disaster.
The sake was quite dry and, to be honest, I personally felt it was too thin and lacking in flavor...
However, I felt the taste was different when I drank it while thinking about the back story of the sake brewed from the moromi that two distant sake breweries worked hard to rescue.

閖しぼりたて生酒
へべれけしぎん
I would like to drink it again in mid-summer with a chilled glass.
Light and refreshing, but with a strong presence.

Ranman純米 ふなおろし生貯蔵酒
Takashimizu特別本醸造 生貯蔵酒
へべれけしぎん
I had to retry because I had to put it to sleep for nothing.
No peculiarities, pleasant sharpness and freshness typical of summer sake.
No strange spiciness that lingers.
Japanese>English
へべれけしぎん
Soft and fruity on the palate
Smooth and easy to drink with an unobtrusive sweetness
Japanese>English
へべれけしぎん
There is also "Kita-Akita (*hiragana)," which might be confusing.
It is a dry sake with a sharp, nostalgic taste.
Quite dry on the palate and throat.
A slight sweetness of rice wafts in afterwards.
Japanese>English
へべれけしぎん
Impression of both acidity and spiciness despite being a daiginjo
It has a sharpness.
It might have been better if it were warmed up, though it is a bit of a waste.

Kariho吟醸酒 六舟
へべれけしぎん
Tasted like an exaggerated alcohol content.
It was punchy and didn't work for me.
(Maybe I'm not a fan of brews)
