カチカチ山
I found a "Tasake" that I once wanted to try, bought it as a reward for myself at the end of the year, and finally opened the bottle. The aroma is mild and not very pleasant. When you put it in your mouth, a slight gasiness, sourness, and umami spread in your mouth, and the aroma is pleasant and fluffy on the nose. When it goes down the throat, it gently leaves a bitter taste. I felt it was a well-balanced sake that I kept pouring one more and one more.

I brought this sake to a friend's house as a toast. At 5.5%, it is refreshing and easy to drink, tasting more like juice than sake, but with a certain amount of umami. The sake is sparkling, so you can feel the gaseous sensation, but it disappears smoothly down your throat with just the right amount of acidity. If you are looking for sake-like characteristics, you cannot deny that it is lacking, but as a toast, it is perfect.

Sake purchased on a visit to Awaji Island. It is a sake from a small sake brewery that can only be purchased on Awaji Island. The name "Shibaemon" refers to a "raccoon dog" that used to live on Awaji Island. I had the impression that another brand was easy to drink before, but this one was also easy to drink and tasted like sake. The aroma was mild, the taste was smooth and smooth, and it disappeared quickly with a mild flavor, just like traditional sake. It is a sake that makes you feel like you are drinking sake. Some people may find it lacking, but for me personally, it is a taste that makes me feel at ease.

I chose this sake as a gift to bring to a friend and her husband's house. We had it together. This sake has a pleasant citrus aroma and gassy taste with a pleasant acidity. My friend and her husband seemed to like it, and it ran out quickly.

カチカチ山
The New Year is a month away, and I opened this bottle a month late. There is not much of an aroma before drinking. It has a slight pear-like aroma, a gentle mouthfeel, sweetness, and a good amount of gas. The sweetness and moderate gassiness are followed gently by the umami and acidity, and the finish is pleasant, leaving a moderate lingering aftertaste. Today we had it with ehoumaki and mizutaki, but it is a gentle sake that will go well with almost anything. The "Ni-Rabbit" has come in the form of "Niwu" (Aizan) and the zodiac label (Manzai), so next time I would like to try an Omachi.

Today I went back to my hometown and had a relaxing drink with my wife. I brought a 300 ml "Saku" with me so that it would be easy to take with me. I remember that when I drank IMPRESSION "M" before, it was very gassy, so I went for the regular type this time. The aroma is typical of sake, and the mouthfeel is smooth. The sweetness and umami of the rice spread in the mouth, and with a soft acidity, the sake slides easily down the throat, making it easy to drink. This is really delicious. I drank it with rice crackers, and it went very well with them.

Good evening, Jay & Nobby. ⭐️ We started drinking together last year after we were both swamped at a sake event, and now we have more conversations in common: ⭕️ We have different tastes, so we buy two bottles when we buy 😅.

I bought this sake when I visited Ise at the end of last year. It was brewed by Imanishi Shuzo, the brewer of "Mimuro Sugi", to be presented to the Ise Shrine. It is a cloudy sake, so I stirred it before opening the bottle slowly. The mouthfeel is silky like a lactobacillus drink, with a pleasant slightly carbonated gaseous sensation. Then the umami flavor follows, and it goes down your throat with just the right amount of acidity. It is very easy to drink, and you can drink more and more of it. I am looking forward to seeing if it will become an umami type sake once the gas is released.

Recommended by an acquaintance. From the elegant melon-like aroma to the slight petiteness, the umami spreads in the mouth. The sourness follows the spread of the umami, and it disappears in the throat leaving a lingering aftertaste. Umami -> sourness -> fluffy This is the kind of sake that goes well with Japanese food. It seems to go well with Japanese food. It is a good sake to be heated up.

The second bottle of the year was this one, which I bought as a label at the end of the year. I don't remember drinking nigori very often, so I opened the bottle looking forward to it. From the gorgeous aroma reminiscent of pineapple, a slight sweetness spreads to the palate with a slightly effervescent, fizzy, and acidic taste. After that, the bitterness lingers in the mouth, leaving a lingering aftertaste as it slides down the throat with a crisp finish. A dry, addictive sake with a sweet aroma that is followed by a bitter taste.

We started the New Year with a toast with "Shosetsu" Tenmanguki, which the wife tasted and fell in love with. The aroma is gorgeous, almost banana-like. The mouthfeel is gentle and fruity, but the deliciousness of the rice is still there. The acidity comes later and freshens up the palate, and the lingering aroma leaves a pleasant aftertaste that goes down the throat smoothly. I am happy to welcome the New Year with a delicious sake. May you have a good sake drinking experience this year as well. And may you all be happy and prosperous.

I bought it after a friendly toji recommended it to me at an event. I was able to finish my work safely, so I opened the bottle. The fruity aroma spreads in the mouth with the delicious flavor of rice and a gorgeous aroma. The taste is smooth and crisp, as is typical of Yamadanishiki. With a rice polishing ratio of 35%, it is a refreshing sake that can be drunk as much as you like.

Purchased after being allowed to taste it. The aroma is subdued and light on the palate, with a spreading umami flavor and little acidity. The finish is gentle and crisp, and the lingering aroma is rich and unique to Omachi. Speaking of Omachi, the aroma, umami and complex flavor spread from the moment it enters the mouth, giving it a different taste.

I was curious about this sake in addition to the one I was looking for, so I purchased it through a mail order from a liquor store. From the sweet fruity aroma, it has a pleasant sweetness and a hint of gas in the mouth. After the sweetness, there is also a sourness, and it goes down the throat gently and smoothly. There is little aftertaste. With a slightly low alcohol content of 14%, it is a delicious sake that is easy to drink and makes you want to drink it. Overall, it is a gentle sake, so we served it with hot pot, and it went well with it without getting in the way.

Half interest in Ni-Rabbit, half buying the label. The theme is different every year, and this year's is a low-polished, 80% Aizan rice. The aroma is slightly sweet, and on the palate, there is an initial sweetness, followed quickly by a rather firm acidity and a slight bitterness. It has a sharp taste and lingering aftertaste. The 80% milled rice ratio may be one of the reasons for the overall flavor, but it is delicious in its own way. I drank it with a meal, and it matched well with miso soup, which is a little thicker. It seems to go well with darker foods.

I knew it was the ultimate food sake, and since I was looking for a food sake, I did not hesitate to buy it. There is not much aroma, but a subtle sake-like aroma. In the mouth, it is gentle but has a strong umami and a gentle acidity, and it goes down the throat quickly and refreshes the palate. It has a lingering aftertaste that is very pleasant. It is the ultimate food sake, making you want to eat and drink again.

I thought I would try something other than sake for a change, so I went with Hououmida's Umeshu (plum wine). When drunk without shaking, the sake aroma comes in a flurry, followed by the sourness of the plums and a lingering aftertaste. After shaking it a little, the freshness of the plums and the firm acidity spread in the mouth, and the sake finishes it off nicely with a lingering aftertaste. It is delicious and you can drink more and more. I have not yet had a sake Hououmida, so my expectations for sake Hououmida have increased.

I purchased this bottle after being allowed to taste it. The aroma is just a hint of sourness. It is smooth in the mouth, with a hint of sourness and umami, and cuts crisply through the throat. It is a dry sake with little lingering aroma or in-mouth flavor. It is very easy to drink, and I personally like to keep a bottle of it on hand.

I was interested in buying it because I heard it was fresh and didn't feel like it was fire-roasted. When I opened the bottle, I was careless and the cork flew open. The aroma was a little like old sake? In the mouth, it has a gassy, sweet, and fruity taste reminiscent of slightly carbonated water, followed by a sour taste. It goes down the throat smoothly, but the lingering taste through the nose is very strong and makes you think you are drinking sake. The overall flavor is firm, so this is a good sake that leaves you with a sense of satisfaction.

He wanted to try Gagakuyo, so he consulted with the liquor store about which one would be good, and bought this one. From its sweet, fruit-like aroma, it has a pleasant feeling of moderate gasiness and sweetness in the mouth. It goes down the throat nicely, and at that moment, the gentle aroma of sake lingers behind the nose in a fluffy way, which is very pleasant. Overall, the sake is gentle and unobtrusive, so you can drink as much as you want, and it seems to go well with any meal and will gently accompany it.
