A bottle purchased for New Year's Day and not opened until April 12, when the groundbreaking ceremony was celebrated. The sweetness and umami spread clearly. The effort of the brewery is evident in this bottle of Kaiun.

Fukushima's "Tsukiyumi" was recommended as the second sake at the sake school, and was a little spicier than the first sake, "Koshi". We were able to experience the variation of the dishes and Tomomi Nama sake.

Iwate Homare Special Junmai Sake" opened after returning from Mizusawa. One of the wonderful things about the sake culture is that it allows us to dig up the ties and memories of a place without leaving it. The taste is clean and refreshing with no falsehoods. This famous sake reminds us of the sky of Mizusawa.

Manufactured in January 2025. We were sent this freshly squeezed sake from Echizen-cho, Fukui Prefecture, just in time for the New Year. It has a wonderful sweetness like amazake with a slight effervescence. We were thrilled by the fresh taste, the origin of sake!

I was impressed with "Ona" from Tochigi, which I met last year, and its sake production evokes the water and atmosphere of Nasu. This time, I had a bottle of the raw sake. It was as wonderful as I had expected. The sweetness bloomed quickly and gorgeously.

Full, gentle, watery flavor. The sweetness comes in easily. I wondered if "Hanamizuki" was the name of the sake, but it turns out that there is a beautiful place called "Hanamizuki. It is sold by Noto Hanamizuki, an agricultural cooperative in Noto Town. Looking back on 2024, which was a year of hardship for his region. I pray that next year the Noto Peninsula will be restored and its industries will regain even more strength.
