It has been a long time since I posted this. As usual, I bought it at my favorite liquor store and had it cold. My first impression was that it was well-balanced (somehow nicely put together)! After that, it was the umami of the rice. Delicious! At 18% alcohol by volume, it is very drinkable, but as expected from Yamahai, the umami prevails and there is no sense of alcohol. Perhaps due to the high alcohol content, it finishes with a dry finish. The sharpness is so good that the acidity is not noticeable. The rice polishing ratio is said to be 80%. This sake is very well-balanced and I can enjoy the flavor of rice that I like. It is easy to drink and I recommend it! I have not tried it yet, but I think it is also good heated.

It has been a while since I bought this at my favorite liquor store. Drink it cold. Fresh, juicy, and above all, acidic! I have personally pursued sake with an emphasis on umami, but I now realize how wonderful acidity can be.

As usual, we purchased it at our favorite liquor store. We had our first Nabeshima. I drank it cold and it is delicious! It is delicious and sweet, but the gasiness and acidity make it refreshing and terribly easy to drink. The acidity in particular is exquisite. It was a very tasty sake, with the rice flavor prevailing over the fruity flavor. After drinking this sake, there won't be anyone who doesn't like sake, will there?

Purchased at my favorite liquor store. This week, I chose a Shizuoka sake, Kaiun's unfiltered Junmai. I had it cold and it was delicious! Sweet! Sweet! It was a perfect triumvirate of deliciousness, sweetness, and dryness. It has a delicious rice flavor and fruity (melon or banana?) sweetness. It has a fruity sweetness and rice flavor, and finishes dry, so it is not cloying. The slight numbness on the tongue due to the fact that it is a draft sake is also good and refreshing for me personally! It is well-balanced and goes well with any food 😋. Very easy to drink and highly recommended ✨.

Purchased at a favorite liquor store. I was attracted by the aggressive words "extremely spicy junmai" and "alcohol 20 degrees," so I chose it. I first tried it warmed up, but the spiciness and alcohol was beyond my expectations and made me choke a little lol. I thought, "Is cold sake the right choice? I thought it was right to drink it cold, so I drank it cold next time, but something didn't click with me, so I decided to let the rest of it age for a while 🤣. Does anyone know how to drink it well? 🤔 I like it dry, but maybe it's just not for me when it gets to the extremely dry level 😅. I'll let it rest and round out a bit lol.

Purchased at my favorite liquor store. The label indicates what year it was brewed and in what tank it was made. It was served cold, and the first thing I noticed was that it was very gassy, It has a great gassy feeling. Refreshing! After that, the rice and fruity sweetness comes in a big rush. Personally, the fruity taste is much stronger and sweeter than the rice taste. Therefore, the schwash played a very good role and was a well-balanced gem. I recommend drinking it as soon as possible after opening the bottle so that the schwashiness does not disappear ✨.

Zubari is a shocking taste. If you like sharp junmai, please try it. When I drank it on the first day, I didn't think it was tasty because it had too many peculiarities to be frank, but two weeks after opening the bottle, I thought, "Oh, isn't it pretty good? But after two weeks from opening the bottle, I thought, "Isn't this wine pretty tasty?" After two weeks of drinking, however, the taste has changed. After 2 weeks, the peculiarity became less and I thought it was easy to drink, but this time, the assertion of umami and heaviness was stronger and I had the feeling that "It's soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo good! I had the feeling that it was "soppy! It is not actually salty. It is such a strong umami of rice. As recommended by the brewer, it is best at room temperature. Apparently, it is made in the same way as in the Edo period. I am a pervert, and I can't get enough 🤣. It goes well with cheese and other strong-flavored snacks.

Purchased at my favorite liquor store. They had a shipment of Hakuryu unfiltered unpasteurized sake in stock, so I bought two kinds to compare. Both are rare, and the production number is handwritten on the lower right corner of the label. The blue label is Gohyakumangoku with 55% polished rice, The white label is Yamadanishiki with 70% polished rice The blue label is slightly more refreshing and easier to drink, but it is hard to say which is which. I drank them both cold, and while they both have a strong umami of rice, they are not cloying, and you can't stop drinking them. I could feel the rice rather than the fruity flavor. This is a brand that ranks high on my personal cold sake list. The slight carbonation and the slight petitiveness are also refreshing, probably because the yeast is still alive after bottling!

Purchased at a local liquor store. Personally, I enjoy it lukewarm. The umami and acidity are well balanced and refreshing. I thought it was easy to match with food as it is not too assertive. Delicious ✨

I had enjoyed the Sairyu (Namahashime Jungin) at a store in Asakusabashi, so I bought a bottle of Namahashime Junmai for home at a sake shop in Ningyocho, Tokyo. Personally, I think this sake is at its best when it is warmed up to lukewarm. It has a very umami taste, and the lingering, unique rice aroma at the end is very addictive. *The label on the back says it has been aged for almost 10 years.
