Atagonomatsuささら純米吟醸ひやおろし

ジョナジョナ
Atago no Matsumatsu hiyaoroshi. The label has a beautiful hue that seems to be between summer and autumn. The light, sweet aroma wafts through the air. The sweetness that spreads over the tongue is mild, and the acidity and umami that follow are not assertive, but well-defined and delicious. When paired with food, the sweetness is enhanced and the flavor becomes richer, but the aftertaste remains refreshing. I wish I had bought a bottle of this wine.

Hiyoroshi Hanaboe. This may be the first time to drink hiyaoroshi Hanaboe. Chilled in the refrigerator. Sweet and sour aroma. The mouthfeel is mild, but after a pause, a moist sweetness and a concerted acidity overflows, leaving a refreshing aftertaste. The taste is comparable to that of a nama-shu, but with less hard acidity and a sense of calmness. I still like this sake. The entrée was dashimaki tamago (rolled egg) and roasted peanuts, just like in autumn.

Sake made from Hinohikari rice, an excellent rice rice. The aroma is fresh and gorgeous, with a slight soy sauce nuance. It has a wonderful honey-like sweetness and rich flavor. I think the fragrance comes out when it is near room temperature. The flavor is worthy of the label and name.

Unfiltered, unfiltered, raw sake with 88% flat polished rice. I kind of like this brewery's sake. Beautiful banana aroma. It is slightly sweet, and the acidity gives it a full-bodied flavor. It is easy to pair with food, and the dry aftertaste keeps you from getting bored.

Kido's summer sake. A clean, sweet aroma with a white grape-like flavor. It has a juicy sweet and sour taste with a pleasant sharpness. It is refreshing and perfect for hot and humid days like the rainy season.

ジョナジョナ
As the name suggests, this is a 2020BY aged sake. It is made with brewer's yeast and has a sake strength of +8 and an acidity of 2.8. It is recommended to be heated, but it was still hot, so I served it at room temperature. The aroma is refreshing, as is typical of a sake made from the traditional sake yeast. The mouthfeel is smooth and not harsh, with a hint of matured flavor. After that, umami and acidity gradually build up, slowly leaving a lingering aftertaste. It made me feel like I was a little ahead of the autumn season.

Kaze no Mori uses soft water for brewing and ultra-hard water for unrefining. I had never thought of that. The aroma is slightly chemical and banana-like. There is a mild sweetness, followed by a calm umami, acidity, and bitter accents. The aftertaste is rather dry and refreshing, helped by the sharp carbonation. It is strange, but I think it is well-balanced.

Sanko Tenpyo Yamahai. I drank a sake called "Namahashi" before, but how about this one? Freshness is combined with a grain-like aroma. It has a full flavor from a mild mouthfeel, a hard acidity, and a lingering aftertaste that lingers gradually. It would be good to drink with a solid snack. I'm sipping it with salted bonito (sakatobori).

ジョナジョナ
Summer but autumn deer, sleet-like. The activity is so high that gas is released the moment the aluminum seal is cut. The aroma is of refreshing rice. The sake itself is dry and strongly carbonated, but the addition of acidity and a hint of sweetness from nigori gives it complexity. In a good sense, the sake's Sake meter value of +12 is a little off the mark. The bottle is shrieking all the time, but I don't know when to put the lid back on...

ジョナジョナ
Read as "Asabiraki". It is a raw sake brewed with black malted rice. The label showed nothing without a flash. The aroma of this unpasteurized sake is a light peach-brown color, which I have not seen very often, and it seems somewhat sour. Light, fresh, sweet and juicy with a delicious acidity. The lingering finish was well-balanced and lingering. It seems to be a limited edition, but I hope it will become a regular item.

ジョナジョナ
Hiragana label that seems to have been recently released. The letters are written even unevenly and were clearly visible after condensation. The aroma is little but sweet. Pale sweet and sour when chilled, soft sweetness lingers gradually when near room temperature. Perhaps due to the hue of the label, one could sense grapes in the distance. As the label says that the pairing was carefully thought out, it can be matched with various dishes. The taste is a little different from Hakurakusei and Kurakusei.

ジョナジョナ
A sake with a somewhat Western-style label. There is a pineapple-type aroma only at first. It has a mild rice sweetness and a fluffy, grain-like throat, with a surprisingly rice-flavored taste. It is easy to drink as it is not that heavy.

ジョナジョナ
A raw sake from the sake mother. It's not like before, the amount of gas is not half as much, and it takes me so long to open it that I could drink a glass...or rather, I did. Light yeasty aroma. It has a pleasantly light, yet flavorful sweet and sour taste with a shwash-whisky carbonation. It was like a sweet wine-like beer made from rice. It was worth the effort.

Light Nigori, Nama-zake with a mild label. The embarrassed frog is cute. Strong carbonation and a faint sweet aroma of raw rice. It tastes like Calpis soda combined with a full-bodied sweetness. It does not linger too long, so you can drink it neatly. It is just right for a hot and humid day.

ジョナジョナ
Sake made for the dedication of Kagura. Why go all the way for that? I thought, but it makes sense since it is a Shinto ritual. It has a rich sweet aroma with a calm sweet and sour taste and a slightly hard aftertaste. It has a much lighter and more interesting mouthfeel than the aroma suggests.

Nama-shu Shiboritate from the famous drunken whale. The sweet aroma is subtle. It has a soft mouthfeel with the sweetness of pale nama-shu spreading quietly, and is different from mere dry or thin sake. Enjoy this sake with a meal, and before you know it, it will be gone.

Sake made with Manzai, a reintroduced rice. Sweet and sour aroma with a slight graininess. It has a juicy flavor with a piquant feel and maybe a bit of matured sweetness. It is indeed a good balance between a deep flavor and a clean aftertaste.

ジョナジョナ
Mikumari no Kami is said to be the god who controls the distribution of water. The phoenix is also said to be the god of water distribution. The ginjo aroma spreads with a strong bubbling. An honest sweetness lingers on the tongue, then carbonation and juicy acidity merge. The aroma and umami eventually linger on the palate, leaving a rich aftertaste. It is a sake that should be distributed so as not to cause a fight, or so it is meant to be.
