Sono Kangiku 2024 Discovery Series - Blue Sapphire - light nigori - Yamadanishiki 20 x Gohyakumangoku 80 - unfiltered unpasteurized sake 720ML Rice:Yamadanishiki, Gohyakumangoku Rice polishing ratio: 50 Alcohol percentage: 14 Two bottles of 2024 so far peaked out😭 I opened the bottle with no expectation that this would be another one. Oh? Shupon and rather vigorously ^ ^. My wife just heard the sound and said, "Today's is this year's, isn't it? Well, I didn't reveal 2024 to her. Oh, it's sweet! It's light, sweet, and has a slight bubbling. This is delicious! Yamadanishiki and Gohyakumangoku are a tolerant combination 😄. By the way, I just read the Jyukyu Brewery Blog. The price of sake rice has skyrocketed and they don't have enough money to buy it, so they can't secure the same amount of sake rice as last year. I guess we have no choice but to support them by drinking.

Hi @Mizuhashi 🐦. I see that the sake rice makes a big difference 😳I guess you could say it's like an east-west Yokozuna 😊. There was a brewery in Shiga that could only produce a third of the rice. Even with the heat wave, the rice is still very scarce 😢.
Japanese>English
@水橋
Good evening, Pon-chan 🌆. Indeed, a quintessential yokozuna! I am a yokozuna! I was thinking that the high price of sake rice should be passed on to the price, but it's not that easy 🥲 even the most popular sake breweries have thought about going out of business 😢.

It was lightly spooned. What's that? I thought it wasn't shwashy, but after a while, I saw fine bubbles 😃. I knew it was this one 😁.

2024 Sono Kangiku Discovery Series Adapt Light nigori Fusakogane 50 Unfiltered Nama-shu 720ML Rice:Fusa-Kogane Rice polishing ratio: 50 Alcohol content: 14 This is the next bottle of Fusakogane, which has been stored at home in ice temperature for a year. Yes, it is a very light nigori, but it is not too light. The light nigori is still there, but it's a languid cider 😭. I made the last glass on the rocks. Yeah👍this is delicious😋. I'll open a bottle of 2025 today...

Sono Kangiku Discovery Series Identity 2025 light nigori Sono no Mai 50 unfiltered unpasteurized sake 720ML Rice:Sonomai Rice polishing ratio: 50 Alcohol content: 14 It arrived last month together with Sake Mirai. We let the 2024 and 2023 sit for a while, but we wanted to keep the 2025 fresh. The bottle was opened with a light puff, and the gas was shimmering like white steam. I had a feeling that it would be fresh and delicious 😃. When I poured it into a bowl, I could feel the gas. It is totally different from yesterday's 2024. I definitely prefer the younger one😍. I have three more 2024 and 2025 and I kinda feel like the same result 😅.

Good evening, @Mizuhashi😃 I misread "I definitely prefer the younger ones" as "I definitely prefer the younger ones ❤️" 😇My mind is dirty🤣Fresh Kangiku seems to be better not to be laid 🤔Very valuable drinking comparison repo, very informative 🙏.

@水橋
Good evening, Hiro-san 🌇. I think it tastes better when it's aged, but I prefer not to age the active nigori type as it loses its fizziness and piquancy 😍. But the aged Kikuhime is delicious with a sense of dead leaves 😊.

Sono Kangiku Discovery Series Identity 2024 light nigori Sono no Mai 50 unfiltered unpasteurized sake 720ML Rice:Sonomai Rice polishing ratio: 50 Alcohol content: 14 This bottle was opened from 2024 that was stored in ice temperature at home for a year. It was not intended to be aged, but since it was a Lemacom, I thought it would be okay and put it off. I opened the bottle as soon as I pulled it out. The fizzy sensation subsided, so I left about 1 gong for Sunday and finished it. The next day, I opened a bottle of 2025.

Hoku-Shinryu Junmai Nama-Nama-Shu 720ml Rice polishing ratio: 59 Alcohol content: 18%. This is the sake we had with us last week at Okubo-san. I had never had a chance to try it before, although I had seen it before. Although it starts out easy to drink, it has quite a lot of body. I guess it has a different strength from the atmosphere of Obuse. My wife returned it a bit, saying it was just barely okay. I heard they have a lot of unique sake, so let's try something different next time 😄.

Sawanohana Junmai Daiginjo Sarayuki Unfiltered Nama-shu 720ml Rice:100% Miyamanishiki (Nagano Prefecture) Rice Polishing Ratio: 50 Alcohol content: 16%. On the way home from Saku, I dropped by Okazaki-san, Okubo-san and Miyajima-san and bought milk agar at Tsuruya. When I got home, I remembered that I had some Saku sake in the fridge, so I opened a bottle. It was supposed to be a new sake from the end of last year, but I brought it to you in August? As a result, it was hiya oroshi, or "hiya oroshi". The taste is soft but has body and is very drinkable 😄.

Mikotsuru Junmai Ginjo Activated Nigori Namaeshiki 720ml Rice used: 100% Yamae-Nishiki Polishing ratio 50%. Alcohol 15%. On the second day at the inn in Saku, we opened the bottle of Miko-chan Activated Nigori. Outside on the terrace, looking at the stars 🌟. I opened and closed it about 5 times, so it's a fairly healthy one. I finally found it this season 😘. There were 3 of us so it was about 2 glasses per person 😋. I also bought a bottle of Yamazan sparkling, but I didn't open it and took it home... â

Tsukiyoshino Junmai Ginjo Sora Rice used: 100% Miyamanishiki produced in Nagano Prefecture Rice polishing ratio: 55 Alcohol content: 15%. This was the third bottle we had at the inn in Saku, and although the three of us had emptied two bottles, my friend still wanted to drink more sake. We opened an empty bottle. It was delicious with a good body, and I felt like I could drink as much as I wanted 😅. Next time, I'll have to take him for a cup of tsukimi!

@Mizuhashi, Shimizuya in Saku, and many others. I have never been to the sake brewery in Tsukiyoshino and would like to go there someday. I know it is close to Matsumoto, but have you been there?

@水橋
Hi Harry 😃. It is located near Bessho onsen 🍶. It's about 30 minutes from Ueda and about an hour from Matsumoto 🚙. Please drop by 😄.

Zenkichi Junmai Ginjo 13 thirteen 720ml Ingredients : Miyamanishiki produced in Nagano Rice polishing ratio : 59 Alcohol content : 13%. We were attracted by the pop-up saying "Shimizuya, the president of Shimizuya, recently drank the No.1 wine" and took it with us. It has a deep flavor that is hard to believe it is 13%, and the moderate acidity is perfect for the hot summer. My friends gave it high marks. It is fun to encounter such a delicious sake.

Meikyojimizu Junmai Taruhi Unfiltered Nama-shu 100% Yamadanishiki rice produced in Hyogo Prefecture Rice polishing ratio 65 Alcohol 17%. We are staying in the mountain going to Tateshina from Saku. I went to Shimizuya, 30 minutes to the town! Stylish and cool store 😃. Since it was after the Obon vacation, some of the sake I was looking for were sold out, but they had a quantity of Meikyojo-Tomizui Himuro Special, so I opened a bottle at the inn right away. It was a delicious sake with just the right amount of maturity and freshness 😊.

@Mizuhashi Good evening ^ ^ The other day I was returning to Shizuoka from Ueda via Komi and passed the main store. I didn't stop by because I had already bought a lot of sake, but when I looked it up later, it seems to be a famous store 🧐. I regret it a little...

Good morning, ellie 🌞. I really wanted to visit Tsuchiya Sake Brewery 😅. Please drop by next time 🍶.

Hello @Mizuhashi 🐦. I'm glad you were able to visit the liquor store and had a lot of empties with you guys at the inn 😆. It's nice to be able to drink something you're not used to seeing when you're there 🐨.
Japanese>English
@水橋
Good evening, Pon-chan 🌆. I went to buy sake only for myself from the inn. The rice fields around here are beautifully tended. The underground water is also delicious and I thought there is a reason why the sake is so good. Tsuchiya Sake Brewery will be my next stop 😊.

Good morning, ma-ki-san ☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀. Ding is a hard sake to find in some areas because there are only a few distributors 🍶. Yesterday, I went down to the town center and went to Shimizu-ya to stock up on a lot of sake 🥰.

Tazake Tokubetsu Junmai-shu Yamahai-brewed 1800ml Rice used: Hanabukiyuki Rice polishing ratio: 55 Alcohol content: 16%. As I recall, it has been kept in my refrigerator since the end of the year. It is not a green apple, but it is a slightly fruity sake with a good balance of umami and acidity. I paired it with bitter gourd stir-fry on Thursday and with Donk's bucket and cheese on Friday. On Saturday, I served it with meat and potatoes.

Matsuo Togakushi Junmai Ginjo Limited Order Production 720ml Rice used: 100% Sanke Nishiki from Nagano Prefecture Rice polishing ratio 59 Alcohol content 15.5 Manufactured on April 22, 2024 Purchased and kept in the refrigerator at home for one year, opened the bottle ^ ^. It is mild and not flashy, but it is soft and honestly delicious. Kikusen, Katsuma, Hirotogawa, Wakanami, etc. It is the sense of the store owner. I will be in Saku next Monday for two nights. But since we are staying overnight in the mountains, we will only have a chance to visit sake shops early Monday morning or Wednesday evening. And all the famous liquor stores are closed on Wednesdays😭.

Hi @Mizuhashi 🐦. I see you are going to Saku! There are many sake breweries, so there seems to be a variety of sake available, but are you working? Your schedule seems quite difficult 🥺I hope you will have some encounters even in such a situation 🙏.

Thank you, Pon 😭 I had to work this week, so I'm going to shift it around and my bad friend invited me to a golf course sleepover during summer vacation: ⛳️ It looks like it's pretty deep in the mountains, but I'll take my chances and try to get into town 😆.

Masumi Yamahai Junmai Ginjo Hiyahoroshi 720ml Sera Masumi Limited Rice polishing ratio 55 Alcohol content 15%. We opened a bottle of Hiyaoroshi over two summers, which we purchased at the brewery's store last year, as well as Hiyaoroshi over one summer and three summers in our refrigerator at home. It has a nice roundness with a bitter matured taste. It started to get a little bit of color and on the second day it opened up even more and the flavor increased. Aged sake is delicious 😋. I wonder if it will be available again this year in September after two summers?

Hi @Mizuhashi 😃 You have matured it over three summers! I can't do it in my house due to lack of space. I guess it's like a gateway to old wine

@水橋
Hello Harry 😃. The proprietress of Masumi once told me that sake tastes better when it is matured, but that it is difficult to control the temperature and if the temperature is too low, the sake will not mature well. She said that they have a storage place for maturing sake.

Kangiku Silver Lining Unfiltered Nama-shu Junmai Daiginjo So no Mai 29 720ml Rice : So no Mai Rice polishing ratio : 29 Alcohol content : 15%. Pulled from Lemacom. The price is 2,750 yen for a bottle reduced to 29%! It is too cosy. But I guess the price will go up significantly next year. I dread the new sake at the end of the year 😢. By the way, the sake is quintessentially highly refined! It was clear, refreshing, slightly sweet and great 😊.

It tastes different from the Hitogokochi of the previous day. You can feel the acidity as well as the spread of umami. Of course both are delicious 😋. It looks like the hi-ire is laid down for a few years. Next time I would like to have the aged hi-ire 😉.

The first sip is sweet, but it has an elegant sweetness that does not linger. It is not flashy, but it is a clear and luxurious sake.
