Purchased at Sake-no-Nabe-dana. It is freshly squeezed and unfiltered raw sake, but as is typical of Izumo Fuji, it is not overwhelmed by the volume of sweetness, but rather is a smartly cored sake.

This is a new sake that I bought at the Take-no-Rose Sake Brewery. It has the cleanliness of Shiroushu Tarusyu, but it is a raw sake with a sweeter flavor that makes it the most delicious sake.

This year's Risshun morning pressing is for Nishi-no-Seki in Oita. Unlike the standard special junmai, it is not particularly rich, but rather rather light.

I remember buying it at Kasuga-ya in Abiko for about 1,200 yen. After stirring, the color was dark and cloudy, makgeolli-like. It looks fine as a cloudy sake and does not seem to have any graininess. The aroma is like sake lees or koji-like amazake, dairy products...thinner than yakult, like pilkul, or like ponzu or popcorn due to the koji-like taste. The flavor is tangy but dry, like Calpis, with a texture of amazake that is not too thick, like the Shirakami sake drunk at the Hinamatsuri Festival, but slightly tangy, stimulating, and dry. It is a smooth muddy sake with a smooth acidity that blends smoothly with the yamahai style. If you drink only the Uzuwami, it seems a little sweeter. The low price is also attractive. This mellowness is actually more like a Hinamatsuri Shirakamizake than a harsh winter sake, and would be good for early spring. It can be served with dry food, such as hot pot, or on its own in summer.

Sake from Niigata is said to have a sweet taste. In fact, Echigoji's sake has a sweet atmosphere, but compared to sake from other regions, even the unpasteurized sake is still light and dry, especially the lightness can be felt. However, the final taste is slightly sweeter than other Echigo-ji sake. There is also a slight alcohol stimulation sensation, and when I looked at the label, I saw that it was alky. The alcohol content is as high as 20, but it gives the impression of being a little lighter, which may be because it is made with a good balance.

Haneya Jungin Ginkgo The color is clear crystal silver with a very slight pale greenish tint through the kikichiko. The aroma is apple cider vinegar, strong white bean flour, weak sake lees, lotus root honey, and selfeil, The taste is dry, the acidity is lively, and it also retains the tangy sensation that is typical of nama-shu. It is not sweet and sluggish, but rather tightened and balanced by the acidity. Although it is a nama sake, it goes well with Toyama fish such as white shrimp and firefly squid. The former would be a better match than the oily type such as yellowtail.

The aroma has a hint of sweets, not sake lees, Ponkashi, or cotton candy, red apple, and Kamishinko (a type of flour). The taste is close to medium for a sake, with acidity and a very pleasant bitterness in the back.
