Izumo Fuji Akumo Junmai Hiyadori The color is slightly yellowish. The aroma and the hints of aroma are exquisitely difficult to describe, and while the aroma is of calm grain and cheese, the degree of these gives the impression of a work in progress, with a future still to come. However, considering the release timing of the brewery, this is probably the best decision, and the balance that exists at this moment is certainly precious. If I were to speculate, I would say that the timing of the release was calculated backwards from the price. On the other hand, if it is said that the release was timed at a certain point, I have no choice but to believe it. There is a long way to go, but this balance is only available now, and this balance has a value that will not be found before or after, so it is a bottle that is easy to find the meaning of trying. And needless to say, it is simply delicious!

appearance Jungin Nama black impact The total amount of raw material aroma is mild, but it has a sweet, gritty, grain aroma that is typical of nama-ginbara. The aroma does not spread to fruits, but is in the range of grains. Gentle sweetness on the attack. The slight bitterness that slowly spreads and persists is another point that reminds us that this wine is also made by Namaohara. A cuvée with a fresh appearance. The taste is as expected, not betraying or exceeding the specifications.

Mitsuo Yamakawa Aki 2025 Colorless and transparent The aroma is very mild and the raw material aroma is hardly assertive. The structure of the aroma has a mild base with a floral element that was popular a while ago. Dry from the attack. The bitterness is thin and develops widely. There is a glimpse of sweet fruitiness like white peaches in the nose. Autumn from the Mitsuo Yamakawa series For a sake called "Autumn", the floral ginjo-shu elements are quite prominent, and it is surprisingly friendly. Nevertheless, the overall flavor of this sake is calm and relaxed, and it may be a perfect match for a long autumn evening, but not too tiring to drink.

sparklers colorless and transparent Raw material incense is very mild, powdery like white dumplings Slight sweetness on the attack The acidity is not as strong as one might expect. The texture is full and full with umami. The bitterness, which spreads slowly from early on, is a little thicker than other Senkyoku, and lasts for a long time. The nose has a hint of tropical fruit. This is a bottle released at the end of summer. It is an autumn sake and more drinkable than I expected.

Clear and colorless Slightly effervescent Mild raw material aroma with an intermediate level of powderiness and graininess, like that of white dumplings. Sweet aroma reminiscent of honeysuckle and white peach. The attack is drier than the aroma suggests. There is a clear acidity. The umami is well balanced with a firmness that is typical of Kaze no Mori. Compared to the Yamadanishiki cuvée, the collaboration of acidity, dryness, and hardness results in a very sharp taste. Kaze no Mori event commemorative sake Aiyama version The sweet aroma, low alcohol and sharp taste are quite impressive! When you put the elements together, it is like an elegant Purinee, and compared to the Yamadanishiki version, it is a bottle that stands out for its elegance. Personally, I highly appreciate the quality of this sake, and if more and more sake can be made with this kind of combination of elements, the wine population will be attracted to it.

colorless and transparent Aroma is firm for a recent rice polishing ratio of 55%, as if the rice were cooked. Slightly fruity aroma of white peach, but more pronounced aroma of robust tropical fruit and ripe aroma of processed cheese. The attack is dry with a hint of sweetness. The texture is "thin" rather than tight, with a clear acidity. The palate and nose show the richness of aged fruit and grain, but the body is noticeably thin. The lineage is similar to that of Akamu's Amber, but it is also thinner (in a positive sense) than that. The last bottle of Kangiku's ocean99 series. It is a delicious hiyaoroshi sake, and although it is 15 degrees Celsius, it can be easily drunk. It seems to be fast-growing, and I would like to stock up on bottles, avoiding those that have been uncorked for a few days at an izakaya.

Clear and colorless Slightly powdery raw material aroma reminiscent of white dumplings Gentle ginjo aroma of sweet fruits such as lychee and white peach. In general, it gives a strong impression of richness. Vibrant acidity The attack is drier than expected, and even for a Kaze no Mori sake, it gives the impression of being on the dry side. The bitterness that spreads slowly is also stronger than expected for a Kaze no Mori sake. Is this a promotional item for a Kaze no Mori event? This is a product for advertising Kaze no Mori events. I have never tasted Yamadanishiki cuvée from the same brewery, so I can't compare it, but it has a grippy bitterness and a robust texture compared to other varietal cuvées such as Rohafu, which has more power for this type of sake. It has a depth of flavor that can accept food that is a bit heavy on the palate, giving the impression that it is more food-friendly than other cuvées. The price is always reasonable at less than 2,000 yen excluding tax, and the cost performance is as high as ever.

Clear and colorless with a very slight yellowish tinge The barrel sake element is at the forefront, with an overwhelming aroma of cypress. The other elements are quite backward and difficult to detect, but there are glimpses of raw material aroma in the background, similar to that of the Junmai Namakaho sake from the same brewery. The acidity is lively and makes you think it is a pure sake brewed from the same brewery. From the attack, the taste is clearly dry and seems to be a sake made for cask sake. The elegant bitterness typical of Daishichi spreads slowly and lingers for a long time like an aged whiskey. A barrel sake limited to some of Daishichi's liquor stores. The price is very aggressive for a Daishichi sake of nearly 3,000 yen. The quality is unquestionable, but considering that the oaky aroma is too strong and it is difficult to enjoy the refined Daishichi aroma, it is not convincing that it is positioned on the same level as Rakutenmei and a little below Minowamon. However, Daishichi's barrel sake is rare and not at all a sake to be talked about in terms of cost performance.

Pale yellow A rich aged aroma, as it is BY24 (2012). Reminiscent of beeswax and aged cheese, but not up to shiitake mushrooms and burnt soy sauce. Extremely long finish. The attack is dry. Slight acid residue. A robust bitterness develops and lingers for a long time. Aged Junmai from Izumihashi Yamahai and Junmai 70, the specs for aging potential are undeniably high. While the finish responds well to this, and you can enjoy a rich sense of maturity, the storage temperature is not so high, so it does not feel like it has been fully matured, and it is dry and easy to pair with meals. I had the impression that the brewery releases even young sake after letting it settle down relatively well, and I thought that they would go ahead and release a product with a signboard of aged sake, but this was a surprise. It is a little over 2,000 yen, so its cost performance is as high as it can be.

Mild raw material aroma like white dumplings typical of Mimuro cedar and sweet fruits like white peaches with a faint aroma. Gentle sweetness on the attack. The acidity is strong and tightens the flavor. Surprisingly, there is a slight volatility of alcohol in the nose, despite the low alcohol content. Slowly and lightly accompanied by a persistent bitterness.

Mimuro cedar Otomi Yamada Nishiki Bodhi yeast clear and colorless Very powdery, with a raw material aroma like Kamishinko (powdery rice powder). There is little fruitiness. There is a strong whey flavor similar to that of sake yeast yeast, with a hint of cheese. Alc.13, but you can feel the alcohol. On the attack, there is a gentle sweetness and a clear acidity. There is a good amount of umami on the palate. The full-bodied taste centered on sweetness and acidity makes it drinkable in spite of its low alcohol content. Mimuro cedar's limited edition zodiac sake The style is as expected from Mimuro Sugi's low-alcohol series, but the density and fineness of the taste give it a higher quality for the price.

Colorless and transparent with a yellowish hue, quite different from the standard Junmai-Nikahime The aroma is powdery, reminiscent of shiratama dumplings, and has the lightness of a Jungin-rated cuvée in the higher price range of Daishichi's range. It is mild with a graininess and little fruit. The aroma is more like cheese than whey, and there are faint glimpses of cheese. Sharp acidity Mild, crisp bitterness and umami that is quite light for a Daishichi. It is a fresh taste that is the opposite of Daishichi's character of robust umami and well spread bitterness, but it is a classic, modern and clean sake that has a lot in common with Daishichi.

Clear nigorigo Mild raw material aroma with white dumplings Clean, unpasteurized sake with no hineyness. Bodai yeast, but the aroma is slightly reminiscent of the milkiness of a traditional sake yeast yeast yeast. The aroma of the wooden vat is moderate, but clearly noticeable. Slightly effervescent Gentle sweetness on the attack with moderate umami. The alcohol is well controlled, and the finish does not make you tired of drinking. One of the Mimuro cedar wood vat Bodaihashi series The wood vat is relatively strong compared to other cuvées due to the mild and light aroma of the slightly effervescent nigari.

Daishichi Snow Shibori Slightly sparkling Nama Hashimoto Brewing One of Daishichi's two new sake cuvées Light natto whey with a raw material aroma like white dumplings Soft sweetness on the attack. Bitterness typical of al-soke and slightly milder acidity than the specs suggest. The aftertaste is sweet with a hint of white fruit like lychee. Daishichi's new sake Daishichi is a brewery where beautiful sake is concentrated in the high price range, and products in the low to mid price range are lined up to enjoy the robust flavor and aged aroma. While it has a low-alcohol finish that makes it easy to drink, it has a surprisingly heavy raw material aroma and the light sake yeast aroma that has been the trend for the past few years, and it is a testament to the wide range of Daishichi's sake qualities. Although I was a little concerned about the honjozo, the alkaloidsiness is well controlled, so this is not a negative point. This is a good sake, which is not to be avoided because of the sake's specific name.

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.
