Kudokijozu新酒　しぼりたて純米大吟醸生酒

2/20/2025, 10:34:39 AM

Kudoki-ue's new sake, Junmai Daiginjo. The ginjo aroma is cloaked in the sweetness of nama-shu. It is full of gorgeous honey-like sweetness and juicy acidity. The aftertaste is refreshing and the sake goes down smoothly. I bought it at New Year's when it was at its best. I would like to have it as an accompaniment for happy occasions.

Retro labeled Amego no Tsuki, unfiltered unpasteurized sake made with No. 9 yeast. The refreshing aroma and sweetness are fruity, and the astringency and sourness that spread together resemble the taste of biting into an apple. It is highly satisfying due to its umami flavor and alcohol content, with a clean aftertaste that makes it easy to pair with food. It is delicious in a different direction from Jusan-no-Yoru.

This sake is from Fushimi, Japan. They use only Yamadanishiki from designated farms. It has a sweet aroma like melon. It has a mild taste with a moist sweetness and a moderate but fresh acidity. The juicy flavor and the alcohol content, which is unique to the original sake, make it very satisfying to drink. It goes well with stir-fried beef burdock.

The bottle was opened with the nagging desire for good things to happen. This is an unfiltered sake. The aroma is mild and melon-like. The mild sweetness adds depth to the acidity, and the rich umami overlaps to create a robust flavor. The aftertaste is slight. The entrées are herring sashimi, octopus sashimi, and fried burdock root, all of which are delicious. All are delicious. A good thing happened.

All Omachi sake is brewed with raw rice and soyashi water. Cold, room temperature. No particular aroma. It has the same dry mouthfeel and refreshing acidity as the sake we are used to, but the umami and core bitterness come through clearly. The aftertaste is hard, with a hint of natto (fermented soybeans). When heated, it has a rich sweet and sour aroma and a robust drinking experience, with a lingering, gradual umami aftertaste. I don't know what's going on here, but it's amazing.

Try the famous series of sake. Considerable care is put into the sake, such as no additives, wooden vats for brewing, etc. Aroma of red grapes. What the heck is that? A hint of sweetness spreads quickly, with a firm acidity and astringency reminiscent of red wine. I drank it after dinner, but it would be good with both Japanese and Western dishes. I don't remember the taste, but it must be a different type from No. 6.

Seikai (Sky) in Koueikiku. Is it the sea or the sky... A faintly sweet aroma. The carbonation on the tongue and the mild sweetness spread gently, and the citrusy acidity is a refreshing accent that boosts the flavor. It is not only fruity, but also very good.

Read "kokosen". Is it so-called Nada sake? It has a beautiful aroma that is understated, and a crisp aftertaste that retains the rich sweetness of nama-shu. It is the type of sake that complements food well.

Sake with a vigorous label. It reads "Yamato Gokoro." At room temperature. Grain aroma with sweetness. It has a mild, mature sweetness and a crisp umami flavor with a lingering aftertaste that lingers gradually, creating a relaxing aftertaste. When heated, it has a rich, mellow aroma and a sweet, umami taste that will make you smile. A perfect accompaniment on a cold day.

The other brand from the famous Kuraku brewery. It is chilled. It has a sweet aroma of banana in the back. The balance of soft sweetness, refreshing acidity and full-bodied flavor is exquisite, with a hint of bitterness in the aftertaste. Since none of the elements are too strong, the taste is elegant and complements the food. It is a good sake that does not disappoint.

Junmai Ginjo, a natural sake. A luxurious sake made by grinding rice without pesticides and chemical fertilizers. At room temperature. Sour rice aroma with a sense of fermentation. The clean sweetness and acidity are combined with a rich and mellow sourness. The juiciness increases when it is heated up. The mildness of the sake was enhanced when paired with Shibazuke.

Suwa's raw sake, which reads "Houka". P1 means "plus one more step". Refreshing aroma. It has a mild sweetness, but a juicy flavor combined with a hint of carbonation and a light acidity. It has a rather robust mouthfeel, and seems to go well with boiled pork.

The Hachitan-Nishiki used is a variety developed locally in Hiroshima and is, of course, locally produced. The koji making process is original, and the sake is directly pumped. This sake is made with a lot of attention to detail. The aroma is slightly sweet and banana-like. As soon as you take a sip, you will be immediately hit with a crisp carbonation and a full-bodied sweetness, which is complicated by a beautiful acidity and umami. It has a light aftertaste and can be enjoyed with a meal or on its own. I chose a small cup so as not to drink too much and poured a second glass.

Loman is famous, but this is an active nigori of the Hanazono brand. It is said that only rice grown in Aizu is used. If you look closely, the label is very assertive. The aroma is fresh and sweet, like a Ramune. It is a light, yogurt-flavored Ramune, or perhaps I should say it is a light, yogurt-flavored Ramune, with a deliciously tangy, sweet and sour taste. It is also very tasty, and yet it can be enjoyed with dashimaki tamago (rolled egg) without any sense of discomfort. If you include nigori, you can enjoy the lingering taste of full-bodied sweetness. It is the magic of rice.

I finally found the instrument Masamune, which I was curious about. I guess it's a draft sake. The brewery is "Oki Daikichi". Soft, sweet aroma like ramune. A very mild sweetness spreads without you knowing it, and a gassy, acidic freshness comes gradually. The aftertaste is on the low side, and the overall taste is light. It is best enjoyed on its own, but it is also surprisingly (?) delicious with food. It is also delicious with food. Fukushima sake is rich and wonderful.

Sake made on Sado Island. Slightly sweet aroma. It has a crisp texture and elegant koji flavor sweetness, with a refreshing acidity and a subdued umami flavor creating the flavor profile. The aftertaste is clean. Refined is an appropriate word to describe it. This is good.

Sake with a label like sunrise. If it were Tottori, it would be more like sunset. It looks like it is for New Year's Day, but I was curious, so I opened the bottle. The aroma is mellow and pineapple-like. The fruity sweet and sourness spreads throughout the bottle, and a lingering sweetness with a hint of astringency can be enjoyed. It seems to be good as an aperitif when served chilled, but it also goes well with a variety of dishes.

Laughing season that seems to be particular about raw materials. A limited edition product with a New Year's feeling. The aroma is clean and apple-like. It has a dry mouthfeel with a light acidity, which settles into a bitter umami flavor. It is a type of wine that complements food and seems to go well with a variety of dishes. I am happy to finish my work rather than the New Year's holiday.

Shin Tsuchida's re-finished sake. The process is said to be similar to the ancient "shiori" method. Cold but at room temperature. The aroma is mildly banana-like. The taste is robust and rich, yet it does not cling to the tongue, and it does not lose when served with yellowtail zuke. It would be better to serve it a little warmer to emphasize the sweetness. I would like to let it mature for about a year, but I am not confident that I have any bottles of No. 4 left.
