Miyamanishiki 100%, Polishing ratio 65 Alcohol content 15%. A clear sake with a moderate aroma. It has a moderate acidity and a slightly gaseous taste. This white-labeled Miyamanishiki is the only Junmai sake from Morishima. Nama-shu and hi-ire sake have the same label, and junmai ginjo, which is also Miyamanishiki, has a gold label. At this time of the year, we look forward to the gold-labeled Shiboritate, but unfortunately, due to the poor Miyamanishiki harvest, it is not available this year 😢.

Polishing ratio 50%. Alcohol content 15 degrees There seems to be just a little bit of color. Soft aroma from the bowl, sweetness and sourness. I was worried that it might be twisted but it was fine 😅. I had an image that Taiheikai had a strong aroma and flavor, but this sake was crisp. Or rather, I feel that this was the case for all sake produced in the summer this year. I wonder if it is because the summer heat lasted for a long period of time or something?

100% Miyamanishiki, Polishing ratio 55 Alcohol content 15%. The aroma is subdued and clear. It has a fruity sweetness with a little gas left in it and can be enjoyed as an in-dinner drink with no worries 😆. For some time now, we have heard that the Miyamanishiki harvest has been so low that many breweries have decided not to make this sake, or have given up brewing. Normally, this gold-labeled Miyamanishiki "Shiboritate" would be available, but it may be difficult this year...

Alcohol content 20 Ice cold storage Slightly colored and aroma is not good. Sourness and sweetness are strong. It is a little tangy on the tip of the tongue. I usually warm it up in a pot with a thermometer in my hand, but today I'd rather have it this way 😅. A gift from an acquaintance who doesn't drink much sake. I think he cared for me because he and his wife drink sake. But I'm sorry to say that I had low expectations from the moment they gave it to me because I was told it was a draft sake and stored at room temperature 🙏 but it was an experience 🆙 because I got to drink a sake that I wouldn't have bought myself ✨.

50% polished rice Alcohol content 16%. The aroma from the cup is subdued. When you take a sip, it is fruity with a sour taste and the aroma is strong through the nose. When you swallow it, the flavor disappears from your mouth. After agonizing over what to drink on Sake Day, I decided on this one, which spent a long summer in the back of the fridge waiting for its turn to appear. I'm happy to toast to another year of delicious sake✨. I hope one day Ibaraki's sake will be as famous as "NEXT5" 😆.

100% Omachi, Polishing ratio 50%. Alcohol content 15%. No. 14 yeast When the bottle is opened, it has a soft and gentle aroma. There is also a slight tangy gasiness. Morishima's 14 yeast is a limited edition ✨I wouldn't have noticed if I hadn't recorded it in Sake-no-Wawa, but this was the first time it was fire-aged, although it is usually a draft sake. Somehow, I'm happy with it, not only because it's easy to drink, but also because it seems a little stronger 😆.

The drinkability common to Morishima and the slightly pungent, refreshing feel typical of the hard rice of Hitachi-Nishiki ✨. It was perfect for the late summer heat when you want a clear summer sake that is well chilled 👍.

Rice polishing ratio 48 Alcohol content 16%. As soon as the bottle is opened, the sweet aroma comes out softly. When poured into a vessel, it is a little cloudy, which makes you think that it contains fruit juice. It tastes thick, sweet, juicy, and gassy. The liquor store I usually go to has a hard time getting Hiragana "Takachiyo" and I was envious of your post, but during my summer vacation I went a little far and bought the only bottle left at a well-stocked liquor store I had been to once before 😁. It tasted just like the label said it would 🍍 ripe pineapple 😆.

Organic rice produced in Ibaraki, Polishing ratio 6(%) Alcohol content 16%. One of the four brands selected for the Ibaraki Prefecture "Sake Young Sake Brewer Activation Project" ✨. Sparkling by Ishikawa Toji. When I peeled off the outer packaging, there was plenty of slightly grayish colored ooze at the bottom of the bottle. It got a little mixed up, but when I first tried the top clear liquid, I was surprised at how powerful the aroma, bubbles, and taste all were, and how different it was from the sparkling sake I've had in the past, with no sweetness. When I turned the bottle upside down and muddled it, I thought it was easy to drink because of the coarse koji mixture, but it didn't suit my husband who doesn't like amazake. With a capacity of 500 ml, it is the highest priced in the project. I was told by the liquor store that it is a good sparkling wine even after the carbonation is gone, so I will keep half and enjoy it at a later date 😆.

Rice polishing ratio 70%. Alcohol content 14%. One of the four brands selected for the Ibaraki Prefecture "Sake Young Sake Breweries Revitalization Project" ✨. This is the "Sugi" version of "Ibafore", which you can taste your favorite keg-style sake by adding "Sugi" or "Hinoki" sticks. I bought a 300ml bottle of this one, so I decided to add a stick without tasting it, assuming that the sake would be the same as the "Hinoki". 1 day, the aroma was slightly woody with a strong sour impression, 3 days, the aroma was stronger and more refreshing, and on the 6th day, a slight astringency seemed to have been added. It tastes completely different from "Hinoki", maybe not only the stick but also the sake was different? It makes me think😅.

100% Hitanishiki produced in Ibaraki Prefecture Polishing ratio 55 Alcohol content 14 Marufuku Moyashi" Koji mold produced in Ibaraki One of four brands selected for the Ibaraki Prefecture "Sake Young Sake Brewer Activation Project"✨. It has a fresh taste with a little gasiness with a popping sound when it opens. It doesn't have as much aroma as the fizzy version I had the other day, and the first sip seems sweet, but as you drink it, you can feel the spiciness. I noticed a lot of bubbles in the bowl. It is unusual that the koji used is indicated on the label, and I wondered what "Marufuku-mojiru" was all about. I looked it up and learned that the seed koji is called "bean sprouts" 💡, so it is not made from bean sprouts. I recently got a folding bike, but I'm enjoying it while feeling guilty that I haven't made my debut😅.

Takeyuki's Bicyce🚲 Foam version I poured it gently at first because I saw some oriki at the bottom of the bottle, but since it is a sparkling sake, the oriki floated as soon as I opened the bottle 😅It made a pitter-patter sound when I poured it into a bowl, and when I put it in my mouth, it was sweet and shwashy, but I also felt spiciness right away. After drinking it for a while, I slowly turned the bottle upside down and mixed the oriki and drank it, it became even more cloudy white and the sweetness and koji aroma became stronger 😆. When I go back home for summer vacation, my nephew and niece can drink this next to me while I'm drinking calpis and they won't even notice 😁.

Rice polishing ratio 70%. Alcohol content 14%. One of the four brands selected for Ibaraki Prefecture's "Sake Young Sake Breweries Revitalization Project. This is the "Hinoki" version of "Ibafore," a sake made with either "Sugi" (Japanese cedar) or "Hinoki" (Japanese cypress) sticks, allowing you to enjoy your favorite barrel-style sake. Tasting the opened bottle, the taste is clear with no peculiarities. On the first day after putting the stick in, it smelled like drinking from a Masu, and on the third day, I took the stick out, feeling that it was completely barrel sake. I wish I could have tried it for a few more days 😁, although my husband is not a big fan of wood-scented sake, so that's not an option.

100% Omachi, Polishing ratio ... 50%. Alcohol content: 15%. It is clear and colorless, with a moderate aroma. It has a gaseous taste even though it is hi-ire, and it has sweetness and acidity while being crisp due to the cold temperatures, so it is easy to drink while eating 😆. The first time I went out for a drink last month, I went to a restaurant that had Morishima and the picture on the menu was a silver lapel (it was a little early for this Omachi Hi-Katsuki to be available, and the draft sake was six months old), so I asked the waiter about the label color when I ordered. I asked the waiter, "Are you related to a sake shop or something like that?

100% Miyamanishiki produced in Hitachiota Polishing ratio 55 15% alcohol by volume One of the four brands selected for the Ibaraki Prefecture "Sake Young Sake Brewer Revitalization Project" ✨. Now that we've taken pictures of all four brands, we can finally open the bottle 😆. This one is made from sake rice and rice malt produced in Hitachiota, where the brewery is located, and the finished sake is said to have been submerged in the local tourist spot, Ryujin Gorge🐲. It is clear in color and sweet in the mouth at first, but as you swallow it, the aroma escapes your nose and it is a strong sake with a spicy taste. The content is only 300ml. Not enough for two people😅.

At the beginning, it has a gaseous sweetness even though it is hi-ire, and as you continue drinking, bubbles and a little spiciness and acidity appear in the vessel. We will start drinking the fire-roasted version here again this year! But this one was made in May, so I'm much later to taste it compared to last year😅. Due to family reasons, I'm drinking less, but so far I've been able to enjoy Morishima every month without fail 😆.

100% Miyamanishiki produced in Nagano Prefecture Polishing ratio 50%. Alcohol content: 15° to 16° C Acidity 1.4 Sake meter degree +3 It has a clear, acidic and refreshing taste. There seems to be a bit of bitterness or other miscellaneous flavors that were not there before, but I wonder if the brewing process has been changed. This is the fifth year for this summer sake, which is sold exclusively at our favorite (lol) liquor store. Every year there is a number somewhere on the label indicating what year it is, but this year it was too obvious😅.

Polishing ratio 50%. Alcohol content 15 Utsukushima dream yeast The aroma is subdued and the color is clear and colorless. The moderate acidity makes it fruity and easy to drink. It has been a favorite brand of Romain for a long time. I have not missed out on Nanaroman in recent years. Just looking at the cool, sparkling light blue label, I can't help but feel excited that it's that time of year again! and I get excited: ☺️ Unfortunately, this year's version doesn't have the same great rummy taste of a few years ago, but it's still a consistently tasty sake without a doubt✨. Personally, I like Nanaroman served cold 🐧.

The first sip is fruity with a gassy, slightly sweet taste. As you continue drinking, it becomes thicker and more powerful, and there are many small bubbles in the vessel. You probably can't read the brand name of this sake if you've never had it before 😁This is a sake called "Chichin Puipui" ✨.

Alcohol content 14 degrees Celsius. The rice polishing ratio is not indicated, so it is called Junmai-shu for now. It is made by brewers who all wear glasses. It has no color and a sweet aroma. It has a sweet aroma, a bit of gasiness, sweetness, and acidity, and is very fruity. I don't wear glasses or contact lenses, but my husband is a good (?) glasses wearer. I didn't have glasses, but my husband is a very short-sighted person who needs to go to a glasses shop to get lenses that are compatible with his glasses, so I wanted to give him this sake as a gift. The description at the liquor store suggested a rather acidic taste, but it was just right for me 👍I really liked the taste 😆.
