Junmai Ginjo Summer Sake with Goldfish Label At first glance, the label is pure white with only the name of the sake. However, if you turn the bottle around and look through the back, you will see a school of goldfish swimming in the sake. What a stylish presentation. I came across this sake when I was just starting out in the world of sake, and that was the end of my luck. Every summer, I buy a bottle to relive the excitement I felt when I looked at the label from the back. The taste is also nothing to write home about, of course. It is sharp and slightly dry. The taste is cool and refreshing, just like a goldfish swaying in the cool air. It tastes as if the image of summer sake has been extracted directly from the bottle, and with each sip, memories of summer seem to flow directly from the taste buds into the brain. As usual, the brewery produces sake that is old-fashioned and honest rather than so-called modern, yet not outdated.

Junmai Daiginjo Sanmai Hashi Read as "sanmai hashi". It is said to be a sake brewed by combining three different types of rice to produce eight different tastes. It is a delicious sake made by Miyakanbai, one of my favorite sake brewers in Miyagi Prefecture. It has a very elegant taste, which is due to the fact that it has been polished. It has a solid sweetness in its base, which keeps the overall flavor from being diffused. Naturally, the sweetness is not overpowering and does not detract from the elegance of Junmai Daiginjo, but the taste is deep and fragrant, and the aftertaste is full of the umami of the rice. The complexity and strangeness of the flavor is truly a masterpiece, just as the name "eight delicious flavors" suggests. Oh, our Miyakanbai. Praise be to Miyakanme.

Junmai Ginjo Betsujikomi Everyone who loves cats and sake is a good person! The Hagi no Tsuru cat label series is a no-brainer purchase, whether it's the jacket or the brand name. All of you instagrammers are welcome to try them. It is often sweet, but this time it is less sweet and slightly more sour. It is not as fragrant and has a mild aftertaste. However, if you taste it carefully, you will realize that it is like a precise glasswork, and that all the tastes are combined in a perfect balance without excesses or deficiencies to create this flavor. The charm of this sake, which is not flashy but can be enjoyed for as long as you like, may be similar to the sound of a wind chime, which is pleasantly yet surely echoing in the cool breeze.

SEASON II episode II Haginotsuru style This is a project in which seven breweries in Miyagi Prefecture collaborate once a year to brew sake. The leader brewery changes every year, and this year's production, the ninth year of the project, has a total of two bottles, with Yamawa Shuzo and Hagino Shuzo each serving as leader. This is Hagino Shuzo's version. The Yamawa Shuzo version was very tasty, but I usually drink Haginotsuru more than the Yamawa version. Therefore, we had higher expectations for this one. The taste was so good that it could not be better than this. Based on the usual Hagi no Tsuru, the flavor is extended in all directions, and yet the overall balance is perfect. It has a sweet and gorgeous aroma and mouthfeel. The body is full of freshness and richness. The outer frame has a hint of acidity and a pleasant umami aftertaste that spreads gently. The taste, which shifts from beginning to end with sweetness at its core, without becoming boring or clingy, scores 500 billion points out of a perfect score of 100. I could not help but smile at the taste, which was right in the middle of my tastes, not to mention the perfection of the sake itself. Can such a delicious liquid really exist? Is it not a dream? I am just grateful for the encounter.

SEASONⅡ episodeⅡ YAMAWA style This is a project in which seven breweries in Miyagi Prefecture collaborate once a year to brew sake. The leader brewery changes every year, and this year's project, the ninth year of the project, has a total of two breweries, each led by the Yamawa Shuzo and Hagino Shuzo breweries. This is Yamawa Shuzo's version. Every year a very high level of sake is brewed, and since seven of our favorite breweries are gathered here, we already know that it is delicious, and the question is how delicious it is. The taste of this sake is so perfect that it easily surpasses such high expectations. It has a slightly refreshing aroma and a soft taste. While the mouthfeel is sharp, it is not what is called a sharp taste, but rather a flavor that is very important. It is followed by a refreshing bitterness and acidity reminiscent of citrus peel, and leaves a gentle aftertaste of umami with a hint of sweetness. While based on the usual Yamawa flavor, the taste has been extended in the direction of the gorgeous and rich umami that I like. It is a versatile sake that can be enjoyed with food or just with sake and water. I am deeply humbled by the efforts of the sake brewers in my hometown of Miyagi, and I am proud to be a member of my hometown, and I am happy to drink this sake again tonight.

Special Junmai Sake Matsubara-source This sake is made by the Kinai Shuzo brewery in Kurihara City, Miyagi Prefecture, and is brewed using hot spring water from Naruko Onsen, one of the three most famous hot springs in Oshu, also in Miyagi Prefecture. It has a mild sweetness and a slightly sour aftertaste. It is not flashy, but has a noble taste. The most notable feature of this sake is its smoothness. I am not sure if it is the effect of onsen water brewing, but it is different from ordinary water and has a soft and smooth texture that is enjoyable to the palate. This is a sake that you can savor at a leisurely pace, letting yourself feel as comfortable as if you were soaking in a hot spring. It is good.

Junmai Daiginjo Extra Fine Sake that soaks into your soul Miyakanbai First of all, it has a very smooth texture. And it has a strong flavor. To be more precise, it has a dense flavor. From the moment you take a sip to the moment you swallow it, it demands that you face the sake without pausing for breath. The taste buds are appealed by the translucent sweetness. The ginjo aroma that passes through the nose. The flavor is neither too strong nor too light, and leaves you immersed in a pleasant aftertaste. The harmony of these flavors is even beautiful. The trouble is that every moment of this flavor is so delicious that you can't stop tipping your sake cup, and the sake cup becomes empty. The sake is so delicious that you can't stop drinking and the sake cup becomes empty. I must not buy it even if I see it, and I must not drink it. I will collect such dangerous goods, so please send them back to me.

Junmai Daiginjo Ginsei 40 Suminoe is a junmai daiginjo made with Gin-no-Iroha, a sake rice recently developed by Miyagi Prefecture. I won't bore you with the details, but Miyagi sake tastes very good when made with this rice. It is a beautiful harmony of the florality of Junmai Daiginjo and the full flavor of Gin-no-Iroha. In a word, this is all there is to it, but I wonder how many other sakes in the world can immerse you in such a deep flavor while maintaining such a noble taste. Thank you for the happiness of encountering this sake.

Junmai Ginjo Hitonatsu no Koi This is a sake that appears every year at this time of the year, but every time I see it, I buy it and end up emptying a quart in a day, which is very annoying. It doesn't bother me. I wish they would sell it all year round. Maybe this feeling is love. The usual Hakurakusei direction is maintained, but it is slightly more gorgeous and has a fresh taste like a summer sake. A hint of sweet and sourness peeks out from the back of the bottle, which is the taste of love. The stylish label makes this sake suitable for both personal use and as a gift, and it can be enjoyed by one or two people. We hope you will try it when you see it.

Quarteto This sake is made by the Kanmei Brewery in Osaki City, Miyagi Prefecture, the same city as Miyakanme. The first sip gives the impression of being watery. However, if you take the time to taste it, you will find that it has a complex and complex flavor with a sweetness on the outside. The sake is not flashy, so you will find your cup empty before you know it, and you will realize that it is a very dangerous sake. It may not look spectacular, but it is there. As the name suggests, it is a sake like the voice of a Japanese bush warbler echoing in the fresh green.

Junmai Daiginjo Limited Nama Sake Jyunrei Junka Miyakanbai is my favorite sake in the universe. It was a stroke of luck that I found a liquor store in Tokyo that sold this sake, and I am sure that I will be going back to this store for a long time to get Miyakanbai. It has a rich sweetness with a slight astringency and bitterness that keeps you going no matter how much you drink. Perhaps it is because it is a fresh sake, but it seems to be fresher than usual. The sweetness and bitterness are in perfect harmony, creating a beautiful flavor reminiscent of exquisite faceted work. It is a supreme sake that makes one's soul tremble.

Treasure Ship Nani no Oto Junmai Ginjo Gin no Iroha Yuri is another brand of the same brewery, located in Yuriage, Miyagi Prefecture, famous for its red clams. Gin-no-Iroha is a recently developed sake rice produced in Miyagi, and it is a good match for Miyagi sake breweries, regardless of the details. I think it is a good match for Miyagi sake breweries. This sake is ranked first (according to my research) in the list of Miyagi Prefecture's best hidden sake. The attack is a bit rough, but the aftertaste is clean, leaving only a slight bitterness and sweetness without leaving a bad taste, and the way it washes away your taste buds is reminiscent of a wave, just like its name. The brewery is located in Yuriage. It is a perfect match for seafood, especially shellfish and sea squirts.

Junmai Daiginjo Gin-no-Iroha Gin-no-Iroha is a sake rice that has recently been produced in Miyagi. It tends to have a strong umami aftertaste, which goes well with Miyagi sake. It is no wonder that the Shinzawa Brewery can produce such a delicious sake. From the first sip to the aftertaste, a clear and refreshing umami is consistently felt. Yet, it never gets boring because it retains its usual deep flavor. This is a masterpiece that brings out the best in both the characteristics of the sake rice and the flavor of the sake itself.

Junmai Ginjo Mild Nigori Nama Sake When you are about to buy a bottle of sake, you may have some doubts about what to do if it is not the right one, but if it is from a well-known brewery, there is no problem and you can throw it in the basket without thinking about it. Printed directly on the bottle, rather than on the label, are some very cute marine creatures. It seems to be based on the image of an aquarium, but there are no whales in an aquarium, right? It's fine, though. The flavor and aroma spread softly and then disappear as if melting, reminding one of light snow, and its quiet appearance gives the impression of wabi-sabi. The calmness of the flavor is indescribably appealing, as if it were suited for a mealtime drink, but it is also enjoyable on its own in order to confront its fading aftertaste. It is a drink to be enjoyed on a long, snowy night, and to be sipped alone, thinking how delicious it is. It is a drink that is suitable for such enjoyment.

Yamakan This is the second collaboration with Katsuyama Shuzo, also a Miyagi brewery, following last year. The collaboration is a blend of the sake made at each brewery, rather than a separation of processes as in DATE SEVEN. Abekan, who brews a less flashy sake, but one that is honestly focused on the rice, and Katsuyama, who brews a fragrant, bright, and elegant sake. The sake produced by these two breweries, which have a certain symmetry, like a beauty and a beast, is still a masterpiece. The sake produced by the two breweries is a masterpiece. It has a fresh aroma, a sharp, broad, yet gorgeous edge, and a full flavor. The perfect harmony of the two is a highly finished product. I had never thought about blending sake, but I guess it is not an easy task. It is not an easy task, especially when you are mixing two different types of sake. The technical skill required to achieve this level of perfection is no mean feat. It is a feat.

Junmai Omachi Hagi no Tsuru from the same brewery is light and refreshing, while Hiwada's famous sake is like a sake that demands serious effort from the drinker. It has a strange taste with no core. Not in a bad way, but a very soft taste that softly collapses like light snow and soaks up the umami on the tongue. The umami aftertaste is gradually stronger, and the flavor keeps shifting from beginning to end, making it very enjoyable. You may be a bit surprised to learn that this is a Miyagi sake and that it is made using the same yeast as the original, but we urge you to try it for yourself.

Isshaku Suisei. It is a matter of course that it is delicious. It is a sake that should be described how it tastes. However, it is difficult to describe its charm in detail. My taste buds and vocabulary are so overwhelmed by the harmony of the five tastes that are intertwined in the depths of my mind that I am unable to do anything but say how delicious it is. It is so noble that it would be impolite to speak of it in mere words, and yet so warm that it reminds me of the home of my soul. Or perhaps it is art in the form of sake.

Halloween-specific sake OZEYUKI seems to be releasing sake to coincide with any event. The label on the back of the bottle is full of hashtags. As the label says, it's pop, catchy, and tastes like a jolly good time. Sake! Water! Salt! It's not like "Sake! It tastes more like a carpaccio than sashimi. From the moment it enters the mouth to the moment it is swallowed down, the sweetness comes first, and the sweetness is the main aftertaste as well. However, it is supported by the gorgeousness of daiginjo, so it is not sticky but refreshingly sweet. This is a very good sake that not only looks flashy and is easy to drink, but also has an appeal that even sake lovers can appreciate.

Watari-bune No. 2 Every time I drink Isshuikusuisei, I truly feel glad to have found sake. The most delicious liquid in this world. The aroma is high, the flavor is deep, the acidity is pleasant, and the sweetness is gentle. The harmony of all these elements is the happiest thing in the world. If I were allowed to decide the taste of sake as I please, how many times would I be able to reach it? Everything is my ideal. Nothing to say.
