Takasago松喰鶴　山田錦　火入れ

3/30/2025, 2:59:09 PM

It is another brand of Kiyamasa Shuzo, the brewer of Jikin, and although I knew the name, this is the first time I have actually been able to get a bottle of it! I have the impression that it is much rarer than Jikin, which is actually very well known in bars and restaurants. When it was corked, it sounded a little gassy, but in reality, it was almost imperceptible. The aroma is relatively mild, with a modest ginjo aroma like white grapes. The aroma in the mouth is fruity and easy to drink, yet it is a sake that leaves a strong umami impression rather than sweetness. The slight bitterness and astringency in the latter half of the taste is not so strong due to its sharpness, and I think it will be accepted by those who like sweet sake. 720, about 3300 yen

I heard that this sake is quite sweet, so I bought it this time. Although the aroma does not give a strong impression of sweetness, the sweetness is quite strong from the beginning, and gradually acidity appears, reminding me of the sweet and sour taste of strawberries. However, since it is quite sweet, it has a slightly different atmosphere from the juicy sweet and sour type of sake. In the latter half of the bottle, there was a subtle aroma of shaved ice syrup. Combined with the low alcohol content, it is a dangerous sake that those who like sweet sake may drink it one after another. 720, about 2000

Although the aroma does not give the impression of outstanding sweetness, from the moment you take a sip, your mouth is filled with sweetness. It was recommended to me by a liquor store because it is a kijoshu made from old sake, but I was a little wary of it because I am not a fan of the aroma and taste of old sake and aged sake! It has a rich honey-like sweetness that is typical of kijoshu, but at the end of drinking it tastes bitter like the caramel sauce in pudding and finishes off nicely. I highly recommend this sake for those with a sweet tooth! 720, about 2300

I had drunk all three types of reborn Sentori at the store, but I bought them at home so that I could see them from a cooler perspective. The aroma was mild but sweet, and I wondered what kind of aroma it was. I was a little confused about what it was, but personally, it reminded me of peaches and pears. The taste is sweet and sour with a little bit of acidity. It is more acidic than juicy and balanced. However, it is a sweet and sour type of sake, so even those who do not like sourness can enjoy drinking it. Even if it is reborn, it is still my favorite type of sake! I think it was about 720 or 2200 yen.

Hi YU 😃 I'm a fan of the renewed Sentori! I knew you'd like to savor it at home 🤗. We also liked the Retro the best 😋 We like acidity, so we felt like the renewal made it less acidic overall 🤔.

Japanese>English

Good evening, thank you for your comment. I can enjoy drinking outside, but my impression is blurred because of drunkenness, so I want to taste delicious sake at home.

I was working on a lot of things during the year-end and New Year's holidays, but I was too busy to write them down at all Kisora's Winter Seasonal Products The aroma of the just-opened bottle smelled like faint pears and ramune. It is a new sake, so it has a fresh flavor and a strong acidity that stands out. I think it can be enjoyed in the summer as well. 720, about 1600

I had never had the regular product, but this was my first time to try Wakanami's raw sake, which is a seasonal product. It has a green apple aroma, good acidity, a slight bitterness, and a sharp juicy taste. Right after opening the bottle, there was a slight gassy feeling and I couldn't help but drink too much! It is not a particularly sweet sake, but it has a good aroma and a good balance of acidity, and I have the impression that even those who like sweet sake will like it. 720, about 1900 yen

I had been interested in this wine for a long time, but I had never had a chance to drink it. To sum up, it was a little different from the image I had imagined, and I did not like it very much. The aroma is mild, there is almost no sweetness, and it's like a neat and clean sake, not that it's not tasty, but as I prefer to drink only sake without any guesses, I wanted a clear and distinct sake aroma and rice flavor. I felt it was too strong and carbonated... I felt as if I was drinking sparkling wine. I have an image that people who are not familiar with sake or who are not very good at it will be very pleased with it. 720, about 2300 yen

It seems like I've been slacking off so much that it's been a while, but I'm still going to write down the drinks I've had. Not the new Sentori, but the Organic Naturals! The aroma is like peach or pear, mild but sweet! It is a juicy type with a good balance of sweetness and sourness. Although it is not a very sweet wine, it is not bitter and has a hint of acidity, so I think that people who like sweet wine will like it. 720, about 2200

Cell 24 rice difference, once a year? It seems to be a limited edition once a year. I had a chance to compare it with the regular one at the store before I bought it, and I felt it was a little more acidic than the regular one. The sweetness of the regular one was a bit stronger than the sourness of the regular one, which gave it a juicier impression than the Cell 24. I wrote that I thought it had a strong acidity, but this was only a comparison, and I didn't get the impression that it was a particularly acidic sake. When I drank this sake by itself at home, I could not tell the difference, but it is still sweet and stable, so if you like Kameizumi's Cell 24, you will enjoy this sake. 720, about 2400

It's getting hotter and hotter and it's getting harder to reach for sake, so I bought this one, which I thought would be refreshing to drink. It took me a long time to open the bottle because the gas didn't escape from the bottle due to the higher temperature than when I opened the Kuroshio Active Nigori from Kurumasaka in the winter. The aroma and taste are sweet and sour like a lactic acid drink, and you can drink it easily without feeling the spiciness of alcohol! The strong carbonation is especially nice this time of year. However, the alcohol content is slightly high at 17%, so if you get carried away and drink too much, it will come back to you later... 720, about 2100 Yen

The freshly opened aroma has a melon-like ginjo aroma. In the mouth, it has a mild sweetness, but it finishes with a tangy dryness towards the end. It has a rounded texture on the tongue, similar to that of Hakkaisan's snow cellar storage. I had thought that the long storage time would give it that kind of texture, but I could feel a similar sensation in this Gobashi, so I wonder if there is some other element that makes it different. 4 gou, about 3900

I heard that Intense had been released under the same name a few years ago, but recently it has been changed in various ways, so I picked it up. I was torn between peach and grape, but to be honest, I could not imagine grape with the aroma of sake, so I chose peach for stability this time. The current version is a juicy type with just the right amount of sweetness and sourness. As the temperature rises, the bitterness in the aftertaste becomes stronger, so I would like to cool it down and enjoy it while it is still cold. 720,2100 yen

It is said to be a 333rd anniversary commemorative label, but the contents are said to be the same as Junmai Daiginjo Bizen Omachi 48. The aroma of the just-opened bottle is just amazing. It is not a particularly strong aroma like peach or cherry, but even so, the aroma is very strong and raises expectations for the taste before drinking. As for my impression after drinking it, it was not so sweet as I imagined from the aroma, not so much in spite of the gaseous feeling when the bottle was opened. Although it was different from my expectation before drinking it, it was juicy, and the sweetness and umami spread gradually, and it was delicious enough to meet my expectation of finishing with a refreshing acidity. Although I had been curious about this sake for a long time, this was my first time drinking Ni-Toshi, and I found it to be a type of sake that I liked even more than I had expected. 720 yen, about 2100 yen

The aroma upon opening the package was a rather mild ginjo aroma. I got the impression that the flavor was more upfront than sweetness, and that it was relatively dry among the packaged bottles. I am not usually a dry wine drinker, but I poured another glass one after another because of its sharpness without any cloying taste. It is getting hotter and hotter, and the temperature of sake rises quickly while drinking. 720, 2300 or so

The aroma when you open the bottle gives you the image of a ramune! The mouthfeel is just like the aroma of the rum, and even though I have had many different types of sake, this is the first time I have been shocked by this type of sake! I didn't know rice could also produce such aroma and taste! Combined with a slight gaseous sensation, it was as if the sake had been mixed with Ramune! I opened this one after finishing the remaining 2 gou of sake that I had opened before, but because of its low alcohol content, it was so easy to drink that I let my guard down and drank it in gulps.... 720, about 1700 yen

The first thing I felt in my mouth was the lack of corners, or rather, the soft mouthfeel like a sake that has been aged for a long time. It has an impression of a strong, rich sweetness that gives way to an umami flavor, and while drinking it, it is surprisingly crisp, despite its image of lingering in the mouth. The sweetness is not a straight sweetness, but rather a complex sweetness that is a combination of various sweetnesses. I feel a depth of flavor that my inexperienced tongue cannot express well. On the other hand, I can feel the sweetness even when I get drunk and my impression of the taste is a little fuzzy. About 720,000 yen.

Fresh and juicy type of sake From the moment it enters the mouth, you can feel the umami and sweetness. I didn't notice it when I opened the bottle, but there is a slight gasiness to it... The second half of the bottle has a subtle acidity, but the lingering umami and sweetness is strong and you can taste the sweetness throughout the entire bottle. I always try to find a bottle with a flavor that I like, but I can never find it... About 720, 2000

Refreshing sweetness that can be felt even from the aroma stage. After taking a sip, it has a firm sweetness with a slight bitterness and acidity that is refreshingly crisp and clean. Although it is a sweet sake, it does not have a stale taste, so you can enjoy it during a meal. Does the image of Amabuki change considerably depending on the yeast? The one I had a long time ago (I don't remember which one...) left a strong impression with a very banana-like aroma, but this time the impression was completely different and I felt like trying other kinds of sake as well! I often want to look at the back of the labels when I look back at them, so I decided to take a picture of the back of the labels from this time on. 720, 1760

It's been a while since I picked up a Laughing Shiki theater type. As well as the mild aroma, the taste is a smooth sake with a slight bitterness and umami that gradually lingers. The sweetness and acidity are both kept in check, so there is not much to choose between likes and dislikes, but it did not leave a strong impression on me. I wrote a somewhat negative impression following the last Cold Front, but I like this brewery and I love the more aggressive sakes such as Monsoon and Takeshima Jiken, so I look forward to more of them! 720,1700 or so

Yuki no Mayu (Kamosu Mori)純米吟醸　生酒

苗場酒造 Niigata

3/22/2023, 2:53:12 PM

I have seen this sake around recently and have been curious about it, but it seems to be a relatively new sake. I opened the bottle without any prior knowledge, so I turned the bottle upside down several times to mix the lees, but it seemed to be a very effervescent sake, and when I opened the bottle, the gas leaked out vigorously and the bottle became very foamy... The aroma has a sweet and sour green apple aroma. The fruity aroma gave the impression of a sweet sake, but the actual taste gave the impression of an umami type sake with a firm sweetness and a stronger umami of rice than that. At the end of drinking, there is a slightly lactic sweet and sour taste due to the lees. The sake I drank recently was the closest in lineage to Kurumazaka and Kuroshio Akkeshi Nigori-Nagari. The gasiness of the sake is quite strong and the finish is refreshing, making it very easy to drink! This sake is also more delicious than its price and easy to drink, so it is the type of sake that you can't help but drink at a faster pace. We were told that the impression of the sake changes considerably depending on whether it is hi-ire or nama-ai, so it was a delicious sake that we would like to try other types in the future. 720, 1650
