Hououmida, which celebrates its 150th anniversary this year, has completed a new brewery, Hishoukura. To commemorate the anniversary, a limited number of bottles of the new Hououmida brewed in the new brewery were delivered to the customer ahead of time 😊. The rice used, milling ratio, etc. are not disclosed this time, so my impressions will also be kept private 😉.

This is the commemorative first brew from the new brewery, which marks the end of his days of training as a master brewer after resigning from the previous brewery. It has a light mouthfeel with a tangy gasiness and a sweet, pleasant fruity aroma. The aroma of luscious and pleasant fruit, and the gentle woody aroma that quickly passes through the nose. It was a sake that made my anticipation grow and grow 😊.

Tsukkoshi is a special filtration technique that was used during the Edo period (1603-1868). The sake is not exposed to air, but is allowed to ooze out slowly and naturally. The bottle arrived vacuum-packed as is 😊. The sake is not pressed, but only the part that seeps out under its own weight is extracted, so it is gentle on the palate and very easy to drink, but it is said that very little is extracted as a liquid. The subtle bubbles and round, full flavor made me feel luxurious and happy 🤗. Of course, due to its rarity, the quantity is limited, so I can only be thankful that I was able to drink it this year 😭.

The aroma is a melon-like ginjo aroma, and in the mouth, the juicy sweetness and richness of Omachi spreads out, while the lingering aftertaste is converged with a fine acidity.

The finish gave a sense of the depth of flavor that has been achieved over the summer 😊. The robust flavor was complemented by a crisp, cool taste that complemented the meal. It has been a while since I have had sake from Kochi, but I thought I had to change my image 🤗.

Brewed and distilled with great care using water and rice grown in the magnificent nature of Nikko. Precious oak barrels from Nikko were milled and created exclusively for this product. J-sake, a craft spirit, is born after six years of slow aging in these special barrels until it reaches the desired flavor. The mysterious aroma, reminiscent of sandalwood and kyara, gives way to a profound and profound flavor with a delicate aftertaste. It is a drink that can be a savior for whisky lovers who lament the shortage of original whiskey.

To preserve the original flavor of hiyaoroshi sake, this sake is stored in tanks, unlike normal sake 😊. The sweetness and rice flavor brought out from the aging process spreads with a gentle aroma reminiscent of grapes. It is a real pleasure to take it out of the refrigerator and enjoy the change in flavor due to the change in temperature along with the autumnal flavors, which is only possible on a long autumn night 😋.

This sexy ripe sake is made by slowly maturing it in a refrigerator over a long period of time and letting it sit just like a fruit to bring out its sweetness. It is a slightly ripe, sexy, and lustrous sake that will recharge your body with sugar during the summer months when your body craves it. The mellow flavor that can only be achieved by maturing sake is a taste that we have been able to enjoy while regretting the passing of the summer.

Ippaku Suisei Premium is brewed with the best sake rice of the year, which is selected by the brewery from among the sake rice grown by farmers belonging to the Gojome-machi Sake Rice Study Group, which is engaged in sake rice production in Gojome-machi, the home town of Fukurokuju Sake Brewery. It has a clear acidity and rice flavor, and although it is a junmai daiginjo, it is not too clean and has a pleasant volume. Although it is a Junmai Daiginjo-grade sake made with 45% polished rice, it is a sake to be drunk with a hearty spirit without any description 😊.

This sake was created with the concept of making a Yamahai that can be drunk cold in the hot summer 😊. It has a sweetness similar to melon at first, followed by a sourness, and then a moderate bitterness, but it has a nice sharpness that makes it easy to drink 😋.

NEW BORN, a new sake brew made from Aizan, a rare premium sake rice produced in Hyogo Prefecture. It retains a freshness and sweetness reminiscent of white peaches, and the soft taste and aroma typical of Aizan gently spread across the palate 😊.

It has an elegant sweetness and a clear, clean mouthfeel, and is made with Yamada-Nishiki, the king of sake rice. Since it is a NEW BORN sake, you can also enjoy the slight gassy and juicy taste of new sake.

SKY blue, reminding one of the blue sky. It has a slightly squashy taste and no heaviness from the tailings. It is a refreshing and easy-to-drink rumune for adults 😊. No indication of rice used, rice polishing ratio, sake degree, or acidity. It also doesn't say junmai, junmai ginjo, or junmai daiginjo. That's the kind of sake it is 🤗.

This junmai ginjo is an unfiltered, unpasteurized sake made from 100% organic, completely pesticide-free Yuyamanishiki rice grown by Mr. Yoshi Fujita, one of Japan's leading organic farmers. As it is allowed to air slowly, the flavor swells and the tenderness of the rice, natural sweetness, and ginjo aroma follow, conveying the excellence of the sake along with its texture😊.

SNOW, a limited brew, has been improved and powered up as SNOW Xmas. The improvement is in the cage. It is also a pleasure to enjoy its subtle acidity and refreshing sweetness on a hot summer day, when it should normally be drunk at Christmas time 😋.

The new sake is bottled directly from the rare Akaban Omachi rice, which is like a drop of rice that has been harvested in a sack. This sake is full of fresh, fruity flavor with a hint of the dregs from the sack 😊. It was an adult grapefruit juice with a banana aroma that swells and yet cuts through at the end 😋.

After arriving at Centrair on a late-night flight from Singapore, my friend from Korea said he would be arriving in two hours, so we decided to meet at Maruya's main restaurant to have Hitsujimabushi together. I was skeptical about whether it was still available, but I asked the manager if they had any of that stuff. I asked him if he had any of the rare Junmai Daiginjo (a rare sake at this time of the year when the season is closed). So, let's toast to our long-awaited reunion and to each other's health and safety 🥂 Gulp. Gulp...this is the bad stuff! A faint aroma of wood from the barrel and ginjo aroma escaped from the nose, and it was cut off leaving a light fruity aftertaste, while still elegantly brewing the flavor of rice 😊. The conversation went on and on with umaki, uzakaki, and gizzard roast, and we ended up drinking 6 gou of sake together in the daytime😅. I can only thank the manager for having such a wonderful sake on reserve 😭.

Purchased during a visit to Tsuyama. The absence of activated carbon gives the junmai sake its original bright yamabuki color, and the slightly acidic flavor of Omachi is brought out. The full-bodied taste of Omachi was brought out by the lack of active carbonation, and the full-bodied throat finish left a rich lingering aftertaste. We drank it cold, but it would have been nice to drink it lukewarm on a long autumn night.

Chiebijin's highest grade "Yamadanishiki 35 Chiebijin is brewed by Atsuyuki Nakano, a promising star of Oita Prefecture. The highest quality sake rice, Yamada-Nishiki, is polished to 35%, and is unquestionably Chiebijin's finest product. The brewery brews only 600 kilograms of pure rice. It is brewed with the utmost care using the Daiginjo-style brewing process, which requires only 30 days of cold brewing. It has a hint of aroma typical of daiginjos, and the juiciness is complemented by a firm balance of acidity. A glass of wine is recommended 😊.

This is a new, ultra-limited product that focuses on unfiltered, unfiltered sake brewed only once a year. So-no-Mai" rice produced in Chiba Prefecture is a variety with a large heart white that is suitable for high rice polishing. The label is inspired by the image of infinity beyond the horizon of Kujukuri. It is a bottle of the toji's best effort in pursuit of texture from the attack to the finish. We aim to create a well-balanced fusion of both a juicy, fruity flavor that does not seem to be highly refined in a good sense at first glance and the lack of cloying taste that only highly refined sake can have, and to create a sake that will be chosen in the new era under the theme of light sake. It is a certain kind of bad sake that you can't help but drink when you notice it is empty 🤗.
