Purchased and stocked in May.
The balance of acidity and sweetness is super to my liking 😆.
I also like the fizzy feeling you get in the back of your mouth.

A bottle recommended by a liquor store owner
I liked the label, so I bought it!
The sweetness of the fruit, which is gentle but firmly concentrated, spreads throughout the mouth.
It also has a nice bitterness that lingers on the palate.
It was a bottle that I couldn't help but drink too much of😋.
A candidate for the top 10 in the second half of 2021

This is the nigori of Hirotogawa, which has been hiding in the back of the cellar for a long time. This is my first purchase of Hirotogawa.
It's very bubbly.
I thought I was going to get a mild rice flavor and sweetness, but surprisingly, I was able to finish it quickly 🤤.
I have to buy this again this year😳.
I checked with the store where I bought this, and they said they plan to have more of this in stock this year.
I can't wait to see it!

Bought right after release.
Waited about 2 months and opened the bottle on sake day.
Thought I'd watch the youtube livestream 🎇 but as expected I didn't make it 😅.
I've been drinking it for a while now and it's really good.
It's been a while since I've had a Kaze no Mori 😋.
After the sweetness, the spiciness gradually comes out while the sweetness remains.
I like the gradation of the sweetness to the spiciness slowly 🤤.
I want to drink more Aizu Nakasho!
Purchased in September 2021
I went to buy it right after it was released and finished it in no time because it was so good.
Immediately after you put it in your mouth, it has the usual sweet taste of Kankiku.
The second half is a little dry and tingly, so you can drink it quickly and easily.
It's the kind of thing you can drink quickly and easily. Recently, it's been sold out in Chiba Prefecture if you're not careful, so you need to secure it as soon as possible.

I bought this one after Takachiyo Halloween Label and Arigarami.
The sweetness is clean.
The bitterness is a little soft in the second half.
I prefer the origarami, but this one is good too 😋.

Isn't this a cat? A wolf?
I think it's a cat wearing a wolf's headdress.
I'm close to buying the label, but this is a great choice. I like it so much 😆.
I loved the oregano's soft sweetness.

There was also a hiyaoroshi made with the same Aizan koji, but there was also a nama-shu made in March, so I went for this one.
It has a great aroma and is gorgeous!
Just after opening the bottle, I thought it was melon-like freshness, but a few days after opening the bottle, the grapiness started to come out😳.
It has a sweetness to it, and a lingering dusty aftertaste that lingers a bit too long for my liking.

Vanilla-like sweetness⁉️🤔
If you like this sweetness, you'll be hooked.
Might be a bit out of my taste 😅.
I like the flavor of the rice though.

Spring deer in the fall that I chose after wondering about fall deer.
It's rich, mild, and sweet.
It's also tangy and bitter with a hint of bitterness.
The way you hold it in your mouth, the sweetness becomes stronger and the spiciness becomes more interesting😆.
It's simply delicious😋.
The sourness and the fizziness are like green apples🍏, and I finished it in no time😆.
The 375ml volume is just right, considering it's all you can drink!
Purchased in August 2021
This is my first brand.
Seems to be a small family brewery, saw it on a pop up in a liquor store and found myself taking it to the cashier 😅.
It's good cold, but it's also good hot.
It's more of a food drink than a drink by itself. Calms me down 🤤

If you were served it blindfolded, you probably wouldn't notice it was rice wine.
I wonder if it's the white koji that gives it the sour taste🤔.
It's interesting that they are trying different things😄.
Purchased in July 2021
I like the design including the hanging tag and the font.
Maybe it's also good that it's a small bottle😄.
It was hard right after opening the bottle, but after drinking it two weeks later, it became more round.
I think I like it better with a little time.
I️ still have some left, so I️ will leave it for a while.

The soft deliciousness combined with the chirpiness and the lingering, numbing bitterness makes me want to snack on it😅.
The label also has a nice autumnal image to it😄.

Anyway, it's cheap and amazing😳.
When you start drinking it, you'll feel a moment of fluffy sweetness, but soon after, the numbness will follow⚡️.
The lingering astringency is very much to my liking😋.
Refreshing sweetness and moderate acidity
You can feel the soft deliciousness.
I also bought a limited edition sake from Shankiku Meijo, so I'm looking forward to that too!
I'm glad there are sake breweries like this in the prefecture😆.
