Soft and weak sweetness and umami mixed in there.
Towards the latter half of the bottle, it seems to have a more robust Oumachi umami 😊.

I ordered Masayo to drink after a long time and it was sealed 🤗.
It came with a weak sweetness and a strong acidity, and the end was sharp too 😎.
It has a really slight bitterness throughout with a solid bottom and a delicious aftertaste.
It is a complex flavor 🤔.
Combined with the microcarbonation, it was a refreshing high-calorie taste ✨.

There was a line of Kamonishiki with some kind of expensive atmosphere 😲.
If it's a glass of store-bought sake, I can manage... let's drink it 🍶.
It has a sweetness and aroma similar to the usual sake 😚.
But the sweetness is refreshing and clean to the aftertaste 😙.
I can't help but to keep sipping it 😅.
Kamo Nishiki really doesn't betray us 🥰.

Good evening, Hiro-san.
Is it the best Kamo Nishiki? I guess it must be delicious 🥹❣️Hiro-san's pace is also amazing💖.

Maybe the best one 🥹? I don't know the details 🙄.

It has a clear, mature sweetness that reminds me of ripe fruit or cotton candy 😊.
It is balanced by a slight bitterness at the end, and the sweetness is not all-encompassing, which is typical of Jikkoman. ☺️

Yonokotori, which was also raised by Ahuio.
There was also Kalora with it.
I've never had both so I got them 🤗.
⚫︎Karora
They use a type of koji mold called kumonosukabi 🤔.
When they say "kabi", it makes me go "mmmm ❗️" 😅.
Now, as for the taste, it has a lemon-like sourness and a slight sweetness 🍋.
A little bit of the usual wooden vat aroma.
It's more refreshing than the usual Shinsei 😁.
⚫︎Yonono Kotori
The bottle is thicker 🧐.
I didn't know they had such a size 🧐.
As for the taste, it's less sweet than the Yonokotori, and the carbonation is stronger and shuffling 🫧.
The strength of the carbonation distracted me and I thought I couldn't face the sake 🙄.
...and I'm going to comment on one thing 😆.
Japanese>English

Good evening, Hiro 😌.
Hi, Hiro-san! I see you also drank the Hanpukai Shinsei 🍶.
I think the new one was a bit more carbonated this time 🤔.
I was able to drink it in large gulps because it was not alcoholic and had a weak sweetness 😋.
Japanese>English
ヒロ
Good morning, Afuio 😃.
I would drink it if it was called a hanpukai 😇
It's true that it's highly carbonated, but the alcohol content is low so it's easy to drink 😋.
Too bad it's a trial version 🥲I hope they continue to release it 😆.
Japanese>English
ヒロ
☀️
They say it's a test brew 🧐.
I would love to drink this 🤗.
It has a mineral aroma 🤔.
It has a weak, clear sweetness and slight acidity with a bitter finish.
It was a slightly different type of Niigata-like sake from the previous Den-emon 🍶.

Now it reads 📕 "どこんじょう".
I got it with warmed sake ♨️ 😋.
Thin sweetness and a slight hackles 😙.

Heated sake goes well with warm food. ♨️

This sake has been hard to find since I had it at an event in Nagano 😐.
But I came across it when I was in Osaka for the Masamune Hunt ✨.
Opened the bottle after a short viewing period 🍶.
Light minerality 🤔.
Very slight acidity and even more slight sweetness.
It is sweet like cherries 🍒.
At the end, there is a hackberry-like ginjo aroma that comes through to the nose with a crisp, clear and refined impression 🤗.

Masamune hunters go today 🍶.
The original family can't be outdone 💕
At a yakitori restaurant, we will have Yamagata Masamune, a representative of the orthodox Masamune 😋.
It has a good balance of banana🍌-like sweetness and rice flavor.
While the flavor is satisfying and lasting, it goes down your throat clean and easily 💕.
The grilled chicken with sauce and "Road" by "The Tiger Dragon" playing in the restaurant soak into your body and soul 🥹.
Hunter suddenly thinks.
"What seems like an ordinary sake, I think it was Masamune."
...I'm going home🏠.
Nice Masamune👍

Echino Yukitsubaki is well-known, but we have chosen "Yukitsubaki". I wonder if they inherited the jinx of "Hiragana ni Hazurenai nashi" ❣️
And then there is the much-talked-about "Koshitanrei" 🌾.
I repeat, it is not "super pale" 🙄.
The flavor of the rice is very strong 🌾.
Where's the "light" flavor? I'm not sure 🙄.
It has a simple taste with a thin citrusy sweetness.
I thought it would be more light but it was surprisingly robust 🤗.

Clean and refreshing, like a clear stream.

It was a gentle sweetness that lingered until the aftertaste 😚.

I hear it's wine yeast brewed, so expect a different Glorious Fuji 😁.
When I open the bottle, I smell a light cemedine smell.
I think "mmmm 🤨", but then I feel an angular texture on the palate.
It tastes like white wine with an astringent aftertaste and a crispness that flows easily 😎.
I think it's a bit strong on the palate 🤔.
I have a hunch that this is the cue for the "Special Reizen Shuffle🔀" technique I learned with the Liqueur Masamune 🤩.
Close the lid and turn it over 3 times to wait for 3 minutes 😌.
(See my post on "Liquefied Rice Shochu" for more info)
Then the corners are removed and it becomes milder😊.
The astringency is now less astringent, less angular, and easier to drink 🤗.

Here's another one to compare 🤗
This sake is from the year 2008 and seems to be a home-aged sake of the liquor store, with "Aged Sake" on the back label 👀.
I wonder if it's a self seal 😆.
⚫︎ room temperature
It has a solid amber color 🟡.
It has a nice sharpness to it with a dark sweetness that is typical of aged sake, with a hint of sourness, making it easy to drink for a matured sake 😋.
⚫︎ warmed sake
The sense of maturity has weakened.
The sweetness has lessened and there is a slight hint of hackles.
Went perfectly with grilled pork skewers 🐷.

Comparison of room temperature and warmed sake 🤗.
⚫︎ room temperature
It has a faint sweet aroma.
It is a thin sweetness level accompanied by a sense of hackles 😚.
⚫︎Hot sake
Compared to room temperature, the fragrance is more spread out.
The soft sweetness and the sense of hakka remain and the sake is soft to drink even when warmed 😚.
The name "Dry Otoko Shu" made me imagine a harsh sake, but it was easy to drink as a warmed sake 🍶.

In early October, my father was hospitalized for a checkup and spent three days in the hospital.
After that, he was discharged from the hospital and was forced to stay sober for a while🈲.
He was ready to start drinking the day after he got out of the hospital, but the doctor told him that he had to stay sober for two weeks ❗️. He was shocked, but he kept his word.
When the period of sobriety finally ended, I told him he could drink whatever he wanted, and he chose this one 😆 The reason was "because it looks expensive" 🤣.
The reason was "because it looks expensive" 🤣.
He's so smart 🤣🤣.
So we opened the bottle 🍶.
Day 1
A faint sweet aroma.
The clear sweetness is a special sweetness right after opening the seal.
Soft apple taste combined with elegant acidity 🍎.
Not much aroma of wooden vat 🤔...
2nd day.
Sweeter and more pronounced sweetness and acidity 🤗.
The flavor is getting deeper 🤗
Day 3
...there was no such thing as leftovers 😑.
I don't think I drank much myself, but I guess that's just my imagination 🙄.
Well, it's good to know that you were happy with it 😆.
