Fusano KankikuLimited Edition 五百万石50 中取り直汲み純米大吟醸原酒生酒中取り無濾過
alt 1
39
SALON
Sharp sweetness and soft acidity. The sharpened aroma expands in the mouth. This is my favorite brewery, but I prefer the richer taste of Kankiku.

KudokijozuJr.の稲と水と俺 播州たかね錦44%純米大吟醸

SALON
It is light and bouncy. Bitterness mixed with acidity with less sweetness. Bitterness is also good. The fragrant aftertaste lasts long. It is a delicate type of sake. It would be good paired with dishes that are not too rich.

abe★シリーズ SIRIUS 2020原酒生酒発泡

SALON
The 2020 is a smaller size (500ml) and is a good size for overnight use. The only problem is that it spilled and I lost almost 100mi. 😿 The lactic acidity is intertwined with a good amount of sweetness, and the strong fizzy feeling is irresistible. This one should be called a sake sparkling. It's the kind of sake you want to drink in the daytime. I recommended it to my friends.

Fukuda純米吟醸 Alc.13純米吟醸原酒

27
SALON
I'm having a bowl of rice topped with green pepper paste this evening. I looked in the fridge and found a bottle that I thought would go well with it. But I've never had it before, so I'm just guessing. It is like a plum wine. You can feel the sweetness and umami, and also enjoy the acidity. Maybe it's because it's made with wine yeast, but when you taste it for a moment, you can't get used to it. Aroma? It is not a bad taste. It's not a bad taste, but it's unique. It was the first Fukuda, but it was the sake that made me expect to drink other. By the way, it may have been a bit sweet for our green pepper paste. 😋

SALON
A repeat since I had it at the beginning of the year. The aroma of melon is pervasive. It's also sweet, moderately tart, and swoony. There's a bittersweet aftertaste at the end, like a bitter lemon squash. It's 🍋really delicious. #1 on my personal list of the first 10 best sake of the year.

SALON
Low sweetness. Good acidity. Light and dry. I enjoyed it both cold and at room temperature, but the second day at room temperature was more rounded and tasty. I thought it would be good with grilled chicken or salty dishes.

Gakki Masamune2021 sessions3特別純米原酒無濾過
alt 1
60
SALON
The label says "gorgeous strawberry and apple fruit flavors", but I can smell Muscat and peachy notes. The sweetness is restrained and there is a slight swooshiness. It has a light acidity and a sharpness. It is low in alcohol, so you can drink it easily. For me, it is better suited as an aperitif than an aperitif. It doesn't overlap with the intentions of its creator...

Fusano KankikuBlue Sapphire 青玉純米大吟醸原酒生酒無濾過槽しぼり

SALON
Remove the gasket, leave it on, and pop! The lid flies off. This just doubles the flavor. When you pour it, it's clear and small bubbles stick around the glass. Swoopy! You can feel the acidity and it's clean, but you can also enjoy the aroma and have a sweet and bitter feeling. As a sweet drinker, I thought it was a summer bottle among the recent Kanchiku.

SALON
When you open the bottle, you can smell a fluffy sweet and sour aroma. It is very light, and the sweetness, acidity, and bitterness are randomly felt in the mouth. It's a beautiful sake, and beautiful is the perfect word to describe it. Packing sake is really delicious. 😋 I've been enjoying Tsuchida's wildly rich brews for a while now, so this was a more delicate drink.

TsuchidaTsuchida 99純米生酛
alt 1
39
SALON
Tsuchida Week. A hint of acidity invites you to approach the mouth. Dark and sweet toro. A full, rich and full-bodied sake. The longer you hold it in your mouth, the more you can enjoy the flavor. 99 is my preference over 12. Both are sakes I would like to repeat again.

Tsuchida稲とアガベ PROTOTYPE 04純米生酛

SALON
This is one of the sake I wanted to try. It has a clear, umeshu-like acidity, and the sweetness that follows has a certain elegance. Very tasty. 😋 Very delicate compared to Shin Tschida. I've only had 04, but I think it's my favorite. I hope they continue this taste in Akita. 🙏

Tsuchidaシン・ツチダ純米生酛
alt 1
41
SALON
I've been enjoying Tsuchida for the past few days. This is a natural brewery that does not use any yeast or lactic acid. They use rice with a milling ratio of 90%. Furthermore, it was a sake that I was too curious about: it was a native-production sake, and it was fire-hardened at room temperature. There is not much of an upfront aroma, and the taste is matte, heavy, and acidic. Powerful. The next day it seemed a little rounder, and I'd like to try it at room temperature a week later and warmed next time. Compared to the rice and agave, the sweetness and acidity were both wild.

SALON
Actually, the Tsuchida 12 was so good that I repeated it. I finished drinking it without taking a picture or leaving a review. It has a soft lactic acidity and a gentle sweetness despite its alcohol content of 12. The sake has a nice flavor and is easy to drink. I really like it. The white koji type is also good!👍

SALON
It has a muscat-like aroma, and while it has a sweetness, it also has a sharp acidity. I've been enjoying sweet and savory sake for a while now, so this sake really opened my eyes. I thought this type of sake was fresh and tasty once in a while.

abe★シリーズ FOMALHAUT 2020
alt 1
30
SALON
Comparing FOMALHAUT's 2019 and 2020. This sake has sweetness, umami, and acidity all concentrated. 2019 has sweetness with a hint of bitterness, while 2020 has sweetness with a hint of acidity. The 2019 is bitter-sweet with a touch of acidity, while the 2020 is sweet with a touch of acidity. The 2020 is fresher and tastes more like Abeno Silver packed into a bottle. It's been a year since I started drinking sake. I'm thankful that I found Abe so quickly.

abe夏酒 (通称ブルー)純米生詰酒
alt 1

SALON
It's light, with gentle acidity and a gentle sweetness, with a slight bitterness. It dances in your mouth with a swoosh at the end. I thought it was the most elegant of all the Abes I drank this year. I wonder if this is partly because the rice polishing ratio has been increased by 5% since the original plan? The label says it's a food sake, but it's so delicate that it's great with simple dishes, but it's also great with sweets. 😋

Sanuki Cloudy讃岐くらうでぃ本醸造

SALON
The lowest alcohol sake I have ever had. It has a sweetness and a malted rice taste like a mixture of lemonade and doburoku. It's not something you can drink easily, but more like a small sip. It was a very special taste. It's a bit extravagant, but it will be delicious if you boil it in Kakuni.

RyozekiRz50 五百万石 Sweet Emotion純米吟醸生酒

SALON
Too soft on the palate, a type of flavor that slowly builds up. The sweetness is felt after the acidity is felt. The impression is that it is light and smooth. It was a slow sweet emotion sake. PS: The second day was more fragrant, and the sweetness and acidity seemed to have become one.

SALON
This is my first Hanzo. The acidity, sweetness, and bitterness all come together to create an aroma that is soft and pleasant on the palate, just like the pink label. 💕.

Fusano Kankiku雄町50 True Red原酒生酒無濾過おりがらみ

SALON
The yogurt-like sourness saves the sweetness well, and it is less sweet and bitter than True White, which is a good balance for my taste. If I had to choose between white and red, I'd go for the red. Well, I enjoyed both of them.
