After having had it once at a bar, I always wanted to drink it, but could not find it. I bought it at Yamada, a sake shop in Shinjuku. It is sweeter than I remember and has a mild taste.
There was a significant snowfall over the weekend and it piled up. We were able to enjoy the inorganic, yet mellow and deep flavor of Shinsei. It was a taste that went down your throat easily and felt right at home.

Second fermentation in bottle using purple-black rice. It has a beautiful rosé color with dark skin tones. It lost a lot when the bottle was opened due to the strong sense of effervescence. It is a dry sparkling sake with a tight taste.
I was able to drink it for the third year in a row. New sake brewed with Gohyakumangoku. The cloudy mixture when the bottle is opened is beautiful. The sweetness and acidity are well balanced, making it an easy-drinking sake.
At 9% low al, it's nice to be able to drink it all and not get drunk. The fizz and light niggles are exquisite and beautiful to look at. The price is high, but it makes me feel good and is worth it.
This sake has an indescribable, unctuous clarity. It has a sweet and elegant aroma, and a soft, refreshing and clear acidity that penetrates through.
★★★
We will have it for the first time. A low-polishing junmai sake made from 88% polished rice of Sakekomachi. It has a strong effervescence and a fresh, uncluttered taste.
It has a mild aroma and you can feel the gas when you open the bottle. It is not too sweet, and while it has the freshness of new sake, you can also feel the umami of the rice.
★★★★★
Purchased at Wakaba Sake Shop. A pesticide-free, fertilizer-free, additive-free natural sake. Mild and fruity aroma, with a tangy bitterness at the end of the sweetness. The sake was easy to drink but gave the impression of having a strong core.

It is said to be aged at low temperature for two years. The sake rice is Yamae Nishiki, which is new to me. The light cloudiness is exquisite and the aroma is elegant. The taste is rich with acidity.

A new sake from Murasaki Uchu, which we want everyone to taste more, is now available. It was fresh and lush, with a mix of sweetness and acidity that made it easy to drink.

I had the same impression as last year, but it tasted better. Was the over-resting the wine a success? The fizziness with a firm flavor and acidity is wonderful. It would have been better if I had drunk it in summer.
