Takejaku Nama Hashiroshi Junmai Nigori 2023 Not a light nigori, but a very clear nigori. In addition to the firm aroma of the raw rice, it has a powerful aroma reminiscent of matured cheese, which is typical of the traditional sake making process. Impressive acidity and strong bitterness. The mouthfeel is smooth and smooth. The umami is not as thick as the specs suggest, and the taste is not as harsh as one might think. Alc is indicated as 15-16, but it seems higher than the number. As the label says, it has a food-friendly finish and is a little heavy on the palate when served chilled. It has the nostalgic depth to accept strong-flavored food, so it is best enjoyed as a food wine.

Shinsei Flax Cat Spark The aroma of raw materials, ranging from white dumplings to cooked rice, is gentle but clearly perceptible. Fruity aroma has a hint of lychee and melon. The acidity is about the same or slightly richer than other cuvées, and is not a prominent characteristic of the white yeast rice. Despite its low alcohol content (11%), it is full of flavor and does not have a hollow feeling on the palate. There is a gentle sweetness on the attack. The gentle aroma of raw ingredients lingers in the aftertaste for a long time. Flax cat bubbles The wine has a lower alcohol content than the other cuvees, but the flavor is as good as the still, and it is still cohesive.

Shinsei Sangdo 2022 Clear and colorless Mainly whey, fruit is mild and white peach-like The aroma is relatively mild in tone among the Colors series, with the raw rice and fruit aromas being subdued. As a result, the wooden vat seems to be more forward than in other cuvées. The acidity is mild compared to the other cuvées in the series. On the other hand, the bitterness is quite strong, even stronger than that of the originally strong Ko-ken Shinkou Cosmos. However, it does not impair the balance of the flavor, and is only one of the elements that create a character with a low center of gravity. Rikuu No. 132 Cuvee from the Colors series It has a sturdy taste within the series and the brewery's lineup, and has a sense of weight that is hard to believe for a 13% sake in bulk. However, it has a Shinsei-like character, and this is only a matter of comparison. The price is a little high for a sake in the series, but it is an ambitious sake that is well worth the price.

Shinsei Flax cat spark Mild raw material aroma reminiscent of cooked rice and a clear, fresh aroma derived from white malted rice. The wooden vat is surprisingly modest and the whey is strong Sweetness on the attack with an acidity that reminds one of biting into a lemon. The bitterness spreads slowly and lasts for a long time, and tightens up the flavor. The nose has a sweet fruity aroma like that of white peaches. Flax Cat Spark 2021 The aroma is more like a sake made from rice cooking, and the sweetness is moderate.

akabu mountain2023 Clear and colorless with silver tints. The raw material aroma is a little heavy for Akabu. On the other hand, the fruity aroma is moderate. Mild but perceptible acidity and slightly more robust umami than other products. Akabu's late summer products As one of the breweries that releases limited products on a monthly basis, it is worth following, but there is a clear difference from the mid-summer products, which is interesting. The axis has been fine-tuned without changing.

Wind Forest alpha6 Respect for No. 6 Clear and colorless with a slight haze Clear effervescence Various fruity aromas ranging from sweet aromas of white peaches and melon to citrus fruits with orange-like acidity and sweetness. The raw material aroma is mild and white dumpling. The attack is surprisingly dry. The texture is one of the tightest among Kaze no Mori wines. The texture is one of the tighter ones in Kaze no Mori, and the umami is also moderate for a sake from the same brewery, probably due to the acidity. A collaboration product brewed with the No. 6 yeast that Kaze no Mori acquired from Niimasa. It comes with a tag depicting a flax cat, which is also brewed with white malted rice. The taste is dry and tight compared to both Kaze no Mori and Shinsei, and it is very well made as a food sake. While more and more breweries like Sancho are releasing products that follow Shinsei, and even though not as many as Jyushiyo, a loose Shinsei alliance has been formed, it is a clear collaboration product, but it is a feat for Aburacho to be able to emphasize the characteristics of their own brewery. The small size of the bottle (500ml) makes it a bottle to be enjoyed with a light meal, and to be enjoyed while thinking about the background of the brewery and enjoying the wonder of its production.

Wind Forest Future Projection 1: Five Types of Microorganisms Colorless and transparent Mild raw material aroma Fruity aroma of white peach, with a not very long aftertaste. The nose is not aggressive, but there is a slight freshness in the nose. Vibrant acidity. There is a hint of sweetness on the attack, but it is on the drier side of Kaze no Mori. The umami is robust, and the mouthfeel is grippy despite the low alcohol content. This is the first product of the anniversary of Kaze no Mori. Priced slightly higher than other products at around 3,000 yen The specs and backstory are interesting, and the absolute evaluation is good enough, but the other products are so cheap that it seems relatively overpriced.

Akamu Jade Clear and colorless Fruit aroma very mild, slightly banana Ingredient aroma like white dumplings. Compared to the seasonal Akamu, the tone of the aroma itself is milder, with a slightly stronger raw material aroma and a weaker fruit aroma. The sweetness of the attack is surprisingly mild. The acidity is a little strong. A sharp bitterness develops from the mid-palate, and quickly fades away. Akabu Summer Sake As the bottle suggests, it is a low-alcohol, refreshing sake with a tight acidity and bitterness. Refreshing like non-flavored soda water, not citrusy like Senkou Kabutomushi

Senkou Organic Naturals X2023 Clearly cloudy white Powdery raw material aroma that is hard to believe it is 90% polished. The aroma is like white dumplings, with melon-like fruit aroma, whey aroma, and Sengkyo's usual aroma. The aroma extends slightly to banana and tropical fruits, giving it a sweeter impression. The gas is clear, as it is claimed to be sparkling. The acidity is reasonably tight, but not outstanding for a sake made from the traditional sake yeast. Sweetness on the attack, but drier than the aroma suggests. The persistent bitterness that is typical of sake is gracefully suppressed, and while it is extremely crisp, it still retains the complexity of the sake's traditional sake yeast. Sentori Organic Naturals Bubbles As a person from a wine culture, I was not a fan of the bitterness of sake that slowly spread to sparkling sake. However, this wine, while it is less bitter and more fruity, still makes the best use of the complexity of the sake's raw yeast and wooden vat origin, and I felt it had everything I was looking for in a sparkling sake. I have never seen a bubbly sake with such a wine-like finish that still retains its sake-like character. This is one of the best examples of SENKYO's sake.

Senkori UA Sakura Blizzard Very pale salmon pink Aroma of Sentori, which is different from other products with a red yeast, but still a regular operation. Aroma: clear, sweet and fruity, with a hint of iso like white peach and melon. The aroma of the ingredients is quite restrained even though it is 60%. Slightly sweet on the attack. Tight acidity tightens the texture, followed slowly by a bitterness that is slightly thicker than that of other Senkou wines. The aftertaste is short, with no strong fruit sweetness. Sentori UA Collaboration Spring The 60% fast brewing is light and refreshing. At 3,000 yen, it is frankly not a good value for money, but as a limited-edition seasonal, I would go so far as to suppress it. The specs say it is a rare bottle of Sengoku with red yeast, so I feel it is worth drinking at least once!

Senkori Green Naturals Colorless and transparent Clearly different aroma from ordinary sake The raw material aroma is very light, somewhere between that of white dumplings and cooked rice. There are some iso-ish sweet fruity aromas such as white peach and lychee, which are typical of Sentori. The attack is slightly sweet. Mild bitterness that spreads slowly. The texture is flat, neither tight nor full, and seems to be flowing. This wine is brewed by reusing the sake lees left over from the preparation of Senkyoku's Organic Naturals. Technically, it is similar to Ripasso, but the difference between Amarone and Ripasso is incomparably different. The lack of density on the palate is particularly impressive, with a texture that makes you feel as if you are drinking a distilled spirit. While I appreciate the concept, which is in line with current trends and an interesting attempt to introduce wine techniques, it is not a sake that should be considered a sake, and I would not be inclined to repeat the experience. Nevertheless, it is probably the only sake repasso that is worth purchasing as an educational tool.

Sansho 2022 Yamadanishiki non-wooden vat Mild raw material aroma like white dumplings Sweet aroma reminiscent of melon, with a hint of iso There is no scent of old age. There is a clear effervescence. The attack is drier than the aroma suggests, but there is a lingering sweetness. Bitterness is mild and very sharp. Yamadanishiki that is not produced in wooden vats Texture seems slimmer than that of the wooden vat brewing. In addition, the sweetness is moderate, and the sake is very easy to drink. If I had to use a strong analogy, it tastes like a Sengoku Kabutomushi with the sweetness subtracted and the effervescence added. It is a refreshing summer sake, perfect for an aperitif.

reprint of the Senkori UA collaboration Colorless and transparent The aroma is a little on the powdery side, between the white dumpling and cooked rice. The aroma is clear, which is hard to believe for a 90% polished rice, but compared to the Organic Naturals series or the Modern series, it is closer to that of the rice used to make it. Mild but sweet fruity aroma with hints of white peach, lychee, and apple. Well-integrated umami and mild acidity. Sweetness and slight bitterness on the attack. The bitterness is restrained even in Sentori. The first reissue of SENKYO's ua collaboration. Probably fast brewed and lighter than the one brewed with the original yeast. The price is a little lower than other ua collaborations, which are often difficult to find a good balance between quality and price.

SAKE HUNDRED TEN RAIN Clear and colorless Very concentrated aroma of sweet tropical fruits. The aroma is of fresh rice powder and highly polished rice. The attack has a hint of sweetness and bitterness. The bitterness is grippy and firm, but does not persist for long, and then it converges. There is a slight acidity, and despite the richness of the aroma, there is little looseness in the texture. Sakehandled raw cuvee. Well balanced and high scoring rather than showing any outstanding personality. The aroma is clear and sweet with no hint of ageing, yet the concentration is like that of a Kalichal, which is a result of the technique. The quality of the wine is extremely easy to understand, and the effort to increase the price is evident. I felt that this was a very good concept for an entry-level sake that would help high-income earners and tourists to avoid getting stuck before enjoying the complexity of sake. On the other hand, I imagine that it is the opposite of the so-called "aged Grand Vin", which is a drink of great taste, and is targeted at a very narrow demographic.

Clearly nigorigo and effervescence. For Sentori, the aroma from the wooden vat is strong, and the raw rice and fruits are a bit pushed out. The rice aroma is like cooked rice, but it is moderate, and there is a robust grain aroma like barley. The sweetness of the attack is moderate. Then, rough tannins and bitterness from the wooden vat. The rough tannins and bitterness from the wooden vat come out next, and the taste is complex, as if it is holed up. Compared to other cuvées, this wine does not hide its roughness but shows it straight. A new cuvée from Senkyoku's Organic Naturals series has been released! This cuvée is a very different from the snowball cuvée, which is a cloudy wine, and is powerful from the aroma to the taste! Sentori has a unique product design such as wooden vats and low-alcohol raw sake, but each of them is a beautifully finished product and it is difficult to capture the characteristics of each one, but this one is clearly out of the ordinary! The price is also kept low, so this is a good opportunity to enjoy unadjusted Sentori.

akabu snow2023 Hazy. Rich fruity aroma with a hint of pineapple with iso leanings. The raw material aroma is mild, like a fresh powder. There is a clear sense of gas. The attack is slightly drier and less sweet than the aroma suggests. The main elements are a gentle bitterness that fades out quickly and a slight umami flavor, and the low alcohol content helps the wine to drink smoothly. The superb Kiriya Soul no Daigyo is very slender and delicate, with classic sake-like characteristics scattered throughout, and has an imposing style that could be called a "grand saké" (not a grand vin). The clear taste of this low-alcoholic raw sake, which does not seem to have aged at all, shows the high level of skill. Although it is a seasonal product and difficult to obtain, we felt that it is a bottle with something to see that is typical of Akabu.

Senkori Risshun Morning Pressing Junmai Ginjyo Nama-Genshu Slightly effervescent. The aroma is sweet and has a slight aged feel to it, as is typical of nama-shu. The aroma is the usual SENKYO with a raw material aroma like white dumplings and a melon aroma that tends toward iso. There is a slight sweetness on the attack. The bitterness is present at the same time, and both development and convergence are rapid. Although it is a fast brewing, there is a slight acidity, and the texture is cohesive. Senkori Risshun Asashibori The character of SENKOKU is the same as usual, although we thought it was a fast brew and for the Risshun Asashibori. The fast brewing process makes for a short aftertaste, and the flavors develop and converge quickly, so it is easy to drink with a wash effect.

Nichinichi Yamadanishiki Clear bubbles when poured into a glass Mild melon and white peach aroma with a hint of isoeyness. The raw material aroma is as mild as that of white dumplings. The aroma is like that of a modern sake brewer's yeast, like whey. Hinoki (Japanese cypress), which is like a wooden vat, is also in the nose. There is a hint of sweetness on the attack. The taste is well integrated with a slight tight acidity. The bitterness converges quickly and fades out crisply. Nichinichi's standard line 13% alc, sake yeast, wooden vat? The style is similar to Sengoku and Hananokosan-do, which are said to have exchanges with Nichinichi's standard line. It has a lot in common with Senkou, especially in terms of the sharpness of bitterness and the elegance of the taste due to the cohesiveness of the taste by acidity.

Fudo 2001 Brewing Honjozo Genshu Goldish yellow A solid aged aroma with everything from shiitake mushrooms and beeswax to burnt soy sauce and chocolate Round and very mellow texture. Fairly dry attack. Slightly tongue-tingling with a touch of brewer's alcohol. The nose has a hint of raw rice, which slowly fades away. Unmovable 01vt The relentlessly dry taste and the sense of maturity that even the burnt soy sauce comes out. The 18% alc. is not too hidden, and it is similar to a fortified wine like sherry. Personally, this is a bottle right in the middle of my favorites, but since you can enjoy this for less than 2,000 yen, there is still a lot of room for development in the old sake culture of Japan.
