Doburoku purchased in Shirakawa-go, famous for its gassho-zukuri architecture. It has a thick texture, sweetness and richness, and is like an alcoholic sweet sake.
Degree of preference: ★★★★☆
A muddy, cloudy sake that is strained through a colander. It has a soft and silky texture. It has a slightly dry taste and goes well with seafood.
Taste ★★★☆☆☆☆
The second sake at Yonago was Hiokizakura's Seisui Midoriyama. The aroma is modest and does not interfere with the food, making it a perfect mid-meal sake.
Taste level ★★☆☆☆☆☆
It is delicious with a gentle and elegant aroma and a calm taste! Goes well with Yonago mosa shrimp and white squid sashimi.
Degree of preference ★★★★☆
Cinta-Cachillo's Type A has a distinctive deep red label. It has a pleasant sweet and fresh aroma, just like freshly picked apples and peaches.
The taste is also great and easy to drink with a perfect balance of sweetness and acidity, just as you would imagine.
Degree of preference: ★★★★★
We had it with sushi in Kanazawa. I asked for an omakase, an easy-drinking sake, and what came out was Lion's Village Mukuji.
I had never heard of this sake before, but it was very tasty and wine-like! The sushi was delicious, and it was great to learn about a new delicious sake.
Degree of preference: ★★★★★
Toyobai's newest snow, with plenty of tailings, is tangled in the bottom of the four-quart bottle. If you are careful not to blow the tailings, they turn white like snow.
The mouthfeel is silky and smooth without being too thick. It goes well with hot nabe dishes.
Preference: ★★★★☆
I had previously enjoyed a bottle of Aruzoe's Instrument Masamune so much that I decided to buy Aizan's Junmai Ginjo this time.
It was slightly sweet but had a nice sharpness to it. Above all, the aroma was very gorgeous and elegant.
Degree of preference: ★★★★☆
Daimine 3-grain winter arrival. It has a beautifully cloudy color and a refreshing sweet and sour aroma. The flavor has a delicious taste of rice, but it is also easy to drink with a refreshing muscat-like sensation.
Degree of preference: ★★★★☆
I like ogara-mi, and this Sharaku's ogara-mi is the best of all.
When you taste only the supernatant, the taste is refreshing, but when you mix it with ori, it becomes cloudy and the round sweetness spreads, but it is still refreshing. It was the best orikara!
My favorite degree: ★★★★★
The year 2024 started with Kangiku's Ginkai. It was my favorite type of sake with freshness, acidity, and slight effervescence.

Toyobai Junmai Shiboritate was the sake that made me fall in love with sake. I have been looking for it for a long time and finally was able to reopen it.
The aroma filled the glass, it was fresh, the rice was rich, and although there may be some memory correction, it was very delicious.
Degree of preference: ★★★★★
Mutsu Hachisen Nouveau Direct Kumi was so delicious that I got another Nouveau I wanted to drink, Orikarami, over two years later.
The aroma is very gorgeous. When I first put the supernatant in my mouth, it was clear but slightly alcoholic.
This orikagarami has a small amount of ori (the first picture shows the top clear and the second picture shows the ori mixed in), but when the ori is mixed in, the alcohol feeling mysteriously disappears and the wine becomes round, refreshing and very tasty.
Degree of preference: ★★★★☆
This year's first new sake was my favorite, Toyobai's directly brewed nama sake! I have been looking forward to this new sake season ever since I found a direct seller of Toyobai near me.
The aroma, a mixture of sweetness and sourness like apples, lifted my spirits. The taste is a little tangy, as I had imagined, and while the freshness stands out, it also has a depth that makes it the most delicious.
I also bought another bottle of Toyobai Shiboritate Nama, so I am looking forward to drinking that as well.
My favorite: ★★★★★
Kenaiyama, which seems to be distributed only in Fukushima Prefecture. It is a delicious sake that is slightly sweet but melts in the mouth without leaving a lingering aftertaste.
Today I paired it with Kabako crab and yellowtail shabu-shabu and enjoyed it very much.
Degree of preference: ★★★★☆
I bought it at a sake brewery in Kanazawa after tasting various kinds of sake. The aroma is mellow and just like a banana. It has a really nice aroma.
The taste is a little sharp with a straight alcohol taste.
Taste level ★☆☆☆☆☆☆
We will be served rice wine made from rare Kojonishiki, which is said to be used only at Nishida Sake Brewery.
The aroma is subtle, and the taste is complex and multifaceted. It is not microbubbly, but there is a slight tingling sensation on the tongue.
We enjoyed it very much.
Degree of preference: ★★★★☆
I had this cup at a small restaurant nearby when I visited Kenninji Temple in Kyoto. It is infused with a micro-foam, and when you take it into your mouth, it is a little tangy, yet refreshingly sweet and tart.
The aroma is fresh and very easy to drink.
Taste level: ★★★★★
