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.

rice field levelled with miso and sake Ingredient aroma is mild and joshin powder Typical sake with a pleasant aroma The alcohol content of low-grade Tasake sake is not noticeable. Slightly acidic and tight. The umami flavor is well developed and the texture is full. Tasake canned sake The contents are on par with Jun Dai, which is also available in Yongo bottles It is hard to tell the characteristics of Momota, but the acidity comes out and the taste is a little tight.

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.

San-do Yamadanishiki Wooden Oke 2022 Clear and colorless with a slight haze. The bubbles are clearly visible not only when the bottle is uncorked, but also when served in a glass. Gentle aroma of raw ingredients like white dumplings. Sweet fruity aroma like white peaches, with a strong scent of wooden vats. The aroma has a sense of concentration that is typical of nama-shu, and is straightforward without any hint of aging. The attack has a gentle sweetness without being sticky. While there are clear bubbles, the acidity is restrained and the taste is not so tight. Bitterness spreads slowly and persists, but it is not strong and does not make one tired of drinking. The lingering finish is not very long, with hints of lychee and sweet white peaches. Wooden Oke Yamadanishiki A distinctive bottle that combines the low alcohol, raw and long-lasting trend elements with the classic wooden vat element. The soft sweetness and bitterness, the slight bubbles and very light mouthfeel with wine-like alcohol (13%), and a character that can also find its place in the wine scene. If we were to say so, it may be similar to Sengoku's fast brewing cuvée. It is a sake to be enjoyed with ease, but its availability is becoming quite difficult, so it is difficult to easily uncork it.

NIIDASHI ZENSHU Barrel Sake Nama Hashiroshi Ikume It has a distinct yellow tinge. The barrel-derived cypress-like aroma comes to the fore, followed by matured aromas such as matured cheese and beeswax. Ingredient aroma is raw rice. Slightly spicy aroma with a hint of black pepper. The attack is slightly sweet. Vibrant acidity and rich umami. I imagined a strong bitterness, but it persists but is not so strong. Soft oaky aroma lingers in the nose. NIIDASEN-SHU's barrels, nama yeast, and cask fermentation Nama-shu made in wooden casks has been seen recently, probably due to the influence of Shinmasa, but it is quite rare to find a sake made in barrels. The aroma is dominated by the barrels, and the taste is centered on the acidity and complexity of the namahashime, and it has all the elements you would expect from the specs. Even if you buy it with the back label, you won't be betrayed. The alcohol content is moderate at 15%, but the sake has a lot of flavor, so you will want a simple snack to accompany it. It is a sake that has a lot to offer for the reasonable price of 2,000 yen or so, so I would like to spend a lot of time with a bottle.

Nabeshima newmoon Clear and colorless Gorgeous aroma of typical sake The aroma is not too far from the image of 50 polished rice. Aroma of melon with a slight iso leaning, and the alcohol aroma is like that of young bamboo, even though it is junmai. Clear, with no hint of raw, aged flavor. There is a clear sense of gas. Slowly spreading and persistent bitterness and juicy umami. Although it is a seasonal product, the character of Nabeshima is strongly expressed. Nabeshima's freshly squeezed raw sake This is a Nabeshima-like bottle that combines the best of the modern and the classic, with a greenness and rawness that is not overly harsh, while at the same time not overpowering the raw material aroma. At 16%, it is slightly low in alcohol content for a draft sake, and has a firm, chewy structure that does not make you tired of drinking it.

Senkori Yukidaruma UA Collaboration The quality of this sake is very different from that of normal Yukidaruma The aroma is of rich white peaches, not quite tropical fruit, but still full-bodied. Dairy-like aroma has receded, and fruitiness prevails. Juicy sweetness and umami on the attack. The bitterness is milder than that of the normal Yukidaruma, but more complex, with a multi-layered taste. The bitterness develops slowly and is not sharp, but gradually fades away. UA collaboration Yukidaruma While the normal 50-60% polish is used, this one is 90%, which is the same polish as the Organic Naturals, and naturally has a very different taste. The main difference is that the fruity aroma is sweeter, the flavor is more complex, and it goes from dry to sweet. However, if you were to taste it blind, you would not even notice that it was 90% polished, and the sake is so clean that it shows off Senkou's technical capabilities. The normal version is food-friendly, but this one can be enjoyed on its own as a stand-alone option.

Senkou Yukidaruma Raw rice is mild and powdery Aroma of dairy products, slightly more cheese than whey Although it is not stated, there seems to be a woody aroma as if it were brewed in a wooden vat...? The bubbles are not strong enough to be considered coarse, but rather within the range of active nigori. Mild acidity and a surprisingly grippy bitterness, typical of Sentori, persist slowly. The attack is drier than most of Sentori's seasonal wines. It seems to go well not only with Japanese dishes such as Osechi-style dishes but also with a wide range of dishes with strong flavors. Despite its low alcohol content and unique characteristics, the flavor structure is surprisingly similar to that of classic sake, making it an interesting bottle. SENKYO's winter products While Kabutomushi in summer pursues a one-of-a-kind sake quality, this one, despite its superficially twisted specifications, is a classic sake, and seems to express the brewery's philosophy of traditional sake making and innovative taste. Although it is somewhat difficult to obtain, I must say that it is a good value for money when you can enjoy such an ambitious yet complete sake based on a unique world view for only a little over 2,000 yen.

Akabu Christmas 2022 Lightly cloudy with a hint of haze. Powdery, mild raw material aroma, slightly reminiscent of lychee Simple in terms of aroma with a subdued tone Gentle sweetness with acidity on the attack The taste is very light at 13% alc. with a slight sweetness and umami that is typical of Akabu and surprisingly fine lineage. The wine is a juicy sake, and the description that it is like a white wine is not true. Akabake's Nama Oorigarami for Christmas The greenish bottle with a red label and Christmas-like coloring is interesting in that it is not designed with wine in mind, and the taste is similar. The low-alcoholic, thin flavor is enhanced by the two elements of ogara-mi and nama, resulting in a light yet well-flavored sake. Although it is a seasonal product and somewhat rare and difficult to obtain, it is a cuvée that makes good use of Akabu's character and should be repeated!
