The Yamada-Nishiki version of Tazake, which is a standard sake with a refreshing, umakuchi taste that does not bore the drinker, is now available. The good, strong malted rice brings out the new flavor of Yamadanishiki, and the sake has a different taste from the standard Tasake Hanabukiyuki.

The product name "Nikomaru" is Nagasaki's representative edible rice, and the origin of the name is said to be "because the grains are large and delicious and make you smile when you eat it. This sake was created by Mr. Mori and the brewers who wanted to use Nikkomaru to make a standard sake that would bring a smile to people's faces. This time it was a seasonally limited orikarami unfiltered raw sake, and it certainly brought a smile to my face. ☺️

The theme for 2024 is "timeless sake brewing," and Mitsuo Yamakawa will travel back and forth between different eras. Otokoyama Shuzo, the brewery in charge of this year's brewing, will focus on 1998, the last year of the tenure of Shiro Sasaki, the Nanbu Touji who decided the direction of the brewery, and brew this sake by faithfully reproducing as much as possible the methods used by Touji Sasaki in the past, while the way of sake brewing has changed with time. The rice used is Yamagata Prefecture's sake rice, "Dewa Sanzu. It is the most familiar rice with a characteristic that stands out for its high whiteness, clean taste, and softness, and the sake was dry, aroma-less, elegant, and honest, just as Touji Sasaki likes it.

The 100% contract-grown local rice "Hitogokochi" is carefully polished in-house for a long time, and from brewing to storage and bottling, this Junmai Daiginjyo is the 15th brewed with the traditional techniques and wisdom of Daishinshu. The smooth taste and gorgeous aroma are like biting into a delicate apple. The toji and brewers put a lot of time and effort into making this sake, and it has a refined and elegant flavor.

The motif of the zodiac bottle for the year 2025, the year of the rising sun, is "the first sunrise and two snakes. The sky of the New Year, with the sun rising, is depicted in vivid colors of red and gold. Holographic snake and cloisonne patterns are placed among the clouds in the sky, creating a glamorous, stylish design that celebrates the start of a new year. Junmai Daiginjo-shu, brewed with "white malted rice" in the brewing process, has a unique sweetness and sourness that is distinctly different from the clear, usual Tatenogawa, with a mild aroma and sweetness reminiscent of dried persimmons. Then I felt the richness of 100% orange juice and a glossy acidity. The acidity gives it depth, and although it is not alcoholic, it is very drinkable, with a mouthfeel that lingers and a juicy flavor that makes you feel refreshed. The two snakes drawn in a spiral pattern are said to have been made to pray for strong vitality and prosperity.

The extra theme for the 2024 brewing year is brewing with the latest rice polishing technology "Shin Gin", The first batch was brewed with the latest rice polishing technology "Shin-Gin," and even though the fermentation went further than expected due to the climate during the brewing, it did not have the characteristic thin taste, and the rice melted well, resulting in a very well-balanced finish. It had a slightly citrus-like acidity and a delicious rice flavor, and the taste, which would be a bit heavier with 60% polished rice, was clear and smooth, making it a light and easy to drink 😁sake.

As you can see, "Takachiyo" in hiragana has no indication of junmai or junmai ginjo. There is no indication of the rice used, nor of the rice polishing ratio, nor of the sake and acidity levels. It is a sake to be drunk with sensitivity, not with a label, so drink it quietly... It says "Uonuma" on the label, so is that right? Or is it rich, mellow, and inexhaustible? I enjoyed the fresh and aromatic flavor without thinking about it 😊.

This sake is a noble sake, but instead of brewing water, naturals from last year's vintage were used to create a natural, unadulterated sake with a clear, realistic finish. It seems to go well with anko (red liver) and albacore ponzu. Although kijoshu has a strong image as an after-dinner drink, it could also be enjoyed as an aperitif by mixing it with carbonated water 😋.

Nabeshima" is brewed using only rice grown and harvested in "Yoshikawa," a special A district in Hyogo Prefecture. Rice of this good origin is usually used for daiginjo and other sake brewed with well-polished outer shells, but this is a special junmai, a rare and interesting sake, where the rice is not overly polished and the flavor of the rice itself is clearly evident. Nabeshima does a lot of things well.

This sake has a perfect balance of moderate sweetness and bright acidity, and the freshness of freshly squeezed fresh sake and the slight carbonation from the activation accelerate the pleasant and refreshing flavor. There was none of the thick, sake-lees-like feeling characteristic of nigori sake, and the smooth, elegant texture made it refreshing to drink, while the depth of flavor was still present.

Tenbi's highest ranking! We received a superb bottle from Tenbi, which continues to create a stir in the world of sake as a talented brewer that is even featured in First Class. The brewer uses 40% polished Yamadanishiki rice, brews it slowly and carefully at a low temperature, and uses yeast No. 901 in order to make a junmai daiginjo that is easy to drink and goes well with meals, as is typical of Tenbi. The sake has a perfect balance between a full-bodied sweetness and a clean, crisp aftertaste, making it a perfect complement to a meal.

Takahashi Katsunichi-no-mikoto is a sake brewing god who resides in Miwa, and is worshipped at Katsunichi-jinja Shrine as the oldest toji in existence, and is looked up to by sake brewers throughout Japan. Although it is a Daiginjo standard sake, it is not overly aromatic, but is the highest grade of Mimuro-Sugi sake, made with the concept of "mild aroma and fresh, clean flavor" firmly in mind. The aroma is fresh, with an elegant fruity aroma like white peaches, juicy as if you had just bitten into a freshly harvested fruit, with a beautiful acidity and long aftertaste on the finish. It was delicious 😋.

This Junmai Daiginjo "Black Hyouzu Bottle" is the ultimate example of the royalty of Hitakami. Since ancient times, the brush has been considered a good omen, and it is said that three together is good luck. It is said that three brushes are good luck charms and six brushes are good luck charms for good health (Roku Hyou). The highest quality sake rice, "Yamadanishiki from the Matsuzawa district of Tojo-machi, Hyogo Prefecture," is used 100%. The ginjo aroma, which is produced by Miyagi yeast, spreads elegantly in the mouth with a gorgeous and delicate aftertaste, and we thoroughly enjoyed this top-quality sake from Heiko Shuzo.

This is a special sake made by polishing up to 40% Yamada-Nishiki produced in Hyogo Prefecture, pressing the sake during the harsh winter months, and storing it in a refrigerator at -5°C. It has a rich volume of freshly pressed sake, but perhaps because it is aged in ice temperatures, it does not have much of a matured aroma.
