W赤磐雄町50 純米無濾過生原酒

The shiny, cool label at first glance makes it hard to believe it is sake. The aroma is like that of honeyed apples, and the mouthfeel is soft. The gasiness that quietly spreads to the palate, along with a gentle, fruity sweetness, is complemented by acidity and a deep umami flavor. Sourness and a deep umami flavor are added, and in the latter half, it fades away with a slight astringency as an accent. It was a delicious sake with not only fruity sweetness but also volume and complex flavor. ***

The aroma is mild, and the fresh mouthfeel has a slight gassy feeling. After the refreshing acidity comes a mellow sweetness typical of Shinshu Kamerei. In the latter half, it disappears smoothly with a little graininess. Compared to the Kamerei we have had so far, the sweetness is restrained, and it is a delicious sake with a beautiful sake quality. ***

Nice rainbow-colored label. The aroma is subdued, and the mouthfeel is round and gassy with a hint of chilli. While the gasiness was light, the sweetness was mellow, like slightly ripe fruit. It was a delicious sake with freshness and juicy sweetness. ***

This is a small bottle that I received. The aroma is sweet, with a hint of sweetness and greenish melon. In the mouth, it has a clear and transparent texture with a fresh acidity. The gentle sweetness mellows out the acidity, and the aftertaste disappears easily. It was a delicious sake that can be easily matched with meals with its impressive gentle sweetness. ***

I had no reservations, but thankfully I came across it again this year. The aroma is gorgeous, with personal notes of pineapple and rum. In the mouth, it has a soft mouthfeel with a slight gasiness. The sweetness and umami spread gently, and in the second half, a grapefruit-like bitterness appears and disappears lightly. It is a delicious sake with a beautiful flavor typical of brewer Kuheiji, the mildness of nigori, and the freshness of nama-zake. *****

Although this sake is often associated with spring, I have never had it before, and this year was the first time I purchased it. The aroma is fruity with a little acidity. It certainly has a strawberry flavor. When you put it in your mouth, you will feel the tangy gas and the refreshing fruity acidity. The sweetness and acidity, which is best described as the most "exciting" ever, disappear unexpectedly in the latter half of the bottle. I had it with strawberry caprese based on the reference from SakeLabo, and it was indeed a wonderful marriage. *****

We opened the bottle late, but we had it again this year, Risshun Asa Shibori. The aroma is gorgeous, and can be smelled even from a short distance away. It has a mild mouthfeel with a slight gasiness and acidity. The sweetness is moderate, and the second half finishes with a light bitterness. The "Daikichi" on the back of the label is also a nice touch, making it a fresh and delicious sake. ***

I forgot to include this directly pumped Gohyakumangoku from Machida Shuzo. It has a rich sweetness with a crisp gasiness. It was fresh and fruity, and rather than pairing it with a meal, it was a delicious sake on its own. **

The light blue label and old-fashioned typeface are so cool that I bought this sake in a jackpot without a second thought. If you look closely, you can see a snowflake motif on the label. The aroma is mild, and the smooth mouthfeel has a strong impact. I learned after drinking that the alcohol content is 18%. However, the smoothness, clarity, and sharp sharpness in the second half make it very easy to drink, and there is no unpleasant twang. It was a delicious sake with excellent sharpness yet easy to drink. ***

Gorgeous aroma like pear. In the mouth, a sense of chili gas, freshness, and mellow umami spreads. The umami of the first half quickly fades away in the second half, and the wine finishes dry. It is a delicious sake that can be enjoyed lightly with a dry aftertaste while still feeling the gorgeousness and umami of Yamada-Nishiki. ****

The aroma is clean and fruity. The mouthfeel is dry with a chiri-chiri-chiri-gassiness, and the umami flavor comes out smoothly. The dryness of the wine, with a hint of acidity, is immediately apparent. It is a delicious dry sake that is both fresh and gentle and can be enjoyed neatly. ****This sake was fresh, gentle, dry, and tasty.

When the cork is opened, gopo-gopo and ori at the bottom of the bottle start to boil, and the bottle is opened over time. When you put it in your mouth, you can hear the sound of bubbles popping, and the sweetness of the rice gradually spreads. Contrary to the appearance of a lot of oli, the taste is surprisingly refreshing and light without feeling heavy. It was a delicious sake that quickly drained away the heaviness of thicker dishes and fried foods, and showed the charm of active nigori. **

The aroma is mild, with fresh acidity and a sense of rancidness. In the mouth, the mellow mouthfeel is followed by a gaseous sensation that gradually gives way to a gentle sweetness that is typical of nigori. The nigorigo is so thick that the ori can harden if not shaken well, and while it is voluminous, it has a light aftertaste with just the right amount of acidity and bitterness. It is a delicious sake with a freshness and the mellowness and density of nigori can be lightly tasted. ***

The aroma is subdued, sweet and slightly pear-like. In the mouth, there is a slight gassy sensation with a slightly thickened mouthfeel. The gentle but mellow sweetness spreads gradually, and in the latter half, it disappears easily with a slight bitterness. It was a delicious sake soaked with gentle sake quality and low alcohol. ***

The aroma is mellow and sweet, and the slightly thickened mouthfeel is followed by a gentle umami. Then, fresh acidity follows and disappears as it seeps into the back of the throat. It was a delicious sake with a good balance of moderate sweetness, gentle umami and acidity, and an aftertaste that leaves umami but disappears dryly. ***
