Yatagarasu today. Honjozo. Sake from Yoshino, Nara. It was served lentil and heated. Yatagarasu is a beautiful golden crow. It is said that Emperor Jinmu guided him on his way from Kumano to Yamato, and that he is the incarnation of the sun. It is also called the god of guidance, etc. It is very auspicious. Surprisingly, it is like a hot rice juice alcohol-infused with an elegant sweetness that is not overpowering. It is quite tasty among one-cup drinks. I liked it so much that I looked up a lot about Yatagarasu and the brewery, and found some unfortunate news. It's a good omen for a good sake. I know it must be hard to run a business, but I hope they will change their mind and do their best.

Sawaya Matsumoto today. Yamada Nishiki of Moriboshi. The other day, ㊗️ Matsumoto Hitoshi is back, so? I will have Sawaya Matsumoto. It has a light dry type aroma, and although it is fire-aged, it has a rather decent gasiness. It's good. Matsumo~ro~ is delicious!

Morimasu the other day. Junmai Daiginjo. I am guessing that it is the number 1 Junmai Daiginjo of 2025. Good luck, Kanagawa! This time, it was well conditioned and tasted good. However, perhaps it is my tongue, but I feel the bitterness in the aftertaste quite strongly (I don't dislike it).

Kido today. Muryozan Junmai Ginjo. Kido Muryozan Junmai Ginjo won the "Champion Sake" award, the highest award in the SAKE category at the IWC (International Wine Challenge) 2020, where only one brand is selected. In short, it became the best sake in the world in 2020🥇. I drank it in 2025 (2024 vintage), so it is not 2020 itself, but it is definitely delicious. I thought it was mellow, harmonious, and very complete sake. Delicious 👏✨

Jinling the other day. PUR means "pure" in French. It is said to be a sake with an aroma reminiscent of young apples, harmonized with the refreshing acidity and sweetness of citric acid derived from white malted rice. Exactly. Green apple flavor. A well integrated taste with no strange peculiarities. The sake rice, Oceto, is a variety often used in Kagawa. It has been used in Kagawa since 1980, so it must have been of the Matsuzaka generation. The resulting sake is described as having a mellow aroma and a clean, crisp taste.

Otters the other day. The first time I drank it, it was a tanba kumi. It is an elegant and very well-balanced sake that is not sweet and tasty, covered with a slight wildness due to the unfiltered raw sake. I like that Otters are designed to be easy to open.

Sentori the other day. This is my first time to try organic naturals. When poured into a glass, it is beautiful, a little amber with a cloudy white color. The first sip is a perfect melon juice 🍈 delicious.

A recent birthplace. The highest peak of this season. Shichinonoso, the Yamadanishiki one. All natural. Lactic acid bacteria drink. Rice champagne. And yet so simple. Light and penetrating. I was thinking and savoring the complexity of the elusive and the elusive, and before I knew it, it was gone 👏. Beautiful label design.

Today's last is the moon after the rain. Junmai Daiginjo is Hakutsuru Nishiki. Hakutsuru Shuzo's own Hakutsuru Nishiki? It is a quintessential Junmai Daiginjo of Amego no Tsuki. It is a recent orthodox daiginjo.

Today is the first day of the year. Golden glowing beauty. Polishing ratio 85%! The rice is matured well, but has not lost its freshness, just like an autumn breeze. The fact that no yeast is added is also interesting. It is also very elegant for the rice polishing ratio. I would like to drink it with autumnal salmon, salmon roe, or even with grilled fish or matsutake mushrooms steamed in an earthen jar! Delicious, I like it!

Today is Wakamusume. It is called Tsukigusa, special junmai, nama-zake. My favorite Hachitan-Nishiki. Polishing ratio is 60%. Sake from this September. It was served in less than half of a bottle, so it may have been losing some of its freshness. It's sweet and delicious, but I didn't get the banana feeling that it claims to have.

Mountain well the other day. I drank 60 According to the Aizu Sake Brewery's website, Aizu Sake Brewery is located in Minamiaizu Town in the southwestern part of Fukushima Prefecture and has a very long history, having been founded in the Genroku Period. According to the website, the brewery has a very long history, having been established in the town of Minamiaizu in the southwestern part of Fukushima since the Genroku era (1688-1704). It was delicious. It seems that the brand will be renewed this summer and Yamanoi 60 will no longer be a standard sake, or it will be called Yamanoi Seika.
