HasteI was looking forward to drinking spring sake, but it snowed from morning to evening. it has really snowed a lot since March. The rice is 50% polished Hyakushikai from Aomori Prefecture. It is elegant, sweet and soft to drink. The label is beautiful. I never get tired of looking at it.

KoeigikuSNOW CRESCENT原酒生酒無濾過

HasteI didn't read the warning carefully, but the stopper flew to the ceiling and the contents overflowed. It has a strong gassy sensation, and the taste is reminiscent of citrus liqueur. Not only is it tangy and fresh, but the lees are entwined to give it a mellow mouthfeel. Easy to drink.

HasteImmediately after opening the bottle, the sense of gas and stimulation on the tongue is impressive. The taste has a subtle sweetness and fruity sensation unique to Akabu, and the presence of Omachi can be felt. The balance is very good, and you feel that you have drunk Akabu.

abe僕たちの酒 vol.14 柱焼酎仕込
阿部酒造Niigata

HasteI am a fan of Abeno, but this is my first try. Hashira shochu infused...must be a challenging bottle, but it is clean, refreshing, and easy to drink. Instead of brewing alcohol, they add Kastori shochu distilled by their own company. There are various ways of making it. However, it is modest and does not have a strong impact, and we cannot deny that it is a little short on cosmetics.

HasteLight but not sweet. It is low-alcohol, lightly nigori (light nigori), and has a pleasant freshness of nama-shu. The image of melting snow in spring, I see, makes me feel good.

HasteThe taste is tangy and tight. It has a sharpness that makes it easy to drink as much as you want. I heard that this terroir is made with rice, yeast, and water from Fukushima. The cleanness and acidity are impressive.

HasteSAKURA, it snowed quite a bit when I was planning to drink spring sake. It is hard to take good pictures of dancing snow. It is light and easy to drink at 12°C alcohol. It is a sweet, gentle and spring-like sake. I also liked the sense of the bottle.

HasteWashio is a brewery that produces many dry sake with a robust flavor, but the first time I tried Hokumado Sanyu, it had a mellow, sweet flavor, but with a robust umami. The name Hokumado Sanyu is said to refer to the sake, qin, and poetry in a poem by Bai Juyi. 17.5° and unpasteurized, or so I thought.

HasteA muscat-like, intense aroma fills the glass. The mouthfeel is sweet and refreshing, but not sweet. I don't think it has much of a gassy feel. There is a lingering aftertaste after swallowing, but it disappears nicely. The flavor is firm without being too heavy.

Takachiyo ShuzoNiigata

HasteMy first impression was that the contours were blurred and the impression was thin for a Takachidai. However, when I drank it the next day, it exuded the fruitiness and elegance that is typical of Takachidai. It was sweet, but with a calm image that did not bore me to death. It is a mature Takachiyo, I guess. It is still my favorite brand.

HasteI guess this is a prototypical Purple Space. My wife was pleased with the low alcohol content of 9%, but the apple cider flavor left something to be desired. However, I support the line, and I hope they will continue to challenge themselves and make their individuality known to the world.

HasteThis was my first time drinking this brand; it has a robust flavor that is hard to believe at 12.5%. It is easy to drink, with a mild aroma and light sweetness. The next day, I got the impression that it became spicier and more balanced. It goes well with fish. Thank you for giving me a chance to think about Sado Island, which I have never been to.

HasteIt is sweeter than Sharaku. It is sweeter than Sharaku, but has a gorgeous taste with sourness and bitterness. It has a freshness that is typical of nama-zake, and is refreshing. However, the sweetness may be a bit of a drag. I heard that it is hard to find outside of Fukushima Prefecture, so I am lucky to be able to drink it for the first time.

HasteIt tastes better on the second day than on the day the bottle is opened. The cork opens vigorously and the fine bubbles are beautiful when poured into a clear glass. It has a fizzy mouthfeel and a mixture of sweet and sour flavors. The next day, the stimulating mouthfeel is calmed down and the texture becomes mellow and gentle, giving the impression of better balance. 80% polished rice, such clarity and drinkability is indeed impressive.

HasteHow organic is it that the rice is pesticide and fertilizer free and no yeast or lactic acid is added during the brewing process? How does it taste? I was worried, but it was delicious. Perhaps it was the taste of the rice, but it had a rich but soft flavor with a nice sharpness.
