大嶺3粒　火入れ　山田錦

10/20/2025, 1:21:58 PM

I've been seeing a lot of these lately and have been curious about them, but this is the first time I've picked one up! The aroma is like muscat, but it does not have a strong sweetness. When I put it in my mouth, I felt a moderate sweetness, a slight sourness, and a bitter taste that ends with a bitter taste. Although it is not a strong sweetness, the pace of drinking tends to be fast because there is almost no pungency of alcohol. The bottle is transparent, so when I took a picture after drinking it, I could hardly see the print on the back... I didn't pay much attention to it before drinking it, but I guess it would have been easier to see if the bottle had been filled. 720, about 2500 yen

I have been curious about this sake for a long time, but this is the first time I have tried it. The aroma is slightly sour with a hint of green apple and rummy. There was a slight gassy feeling when the bottle was opened, and it almost disappeared on the second day, but on the first day I enjoyed a light bubbly sensation. In my layman's imagination, Yamahanaku is supposed to have a thick, robust flavor, but this one is clear and light, and you can gobble it up in gulps. Even though it is called "kijoshu", it does not have a harsh sweetness, but rather a nice balance of acidity, which gives it a refreshing image. If you like Sancho, Mimuro Sugi, Senkyoku, etc., you will especially enjoy this sake! 720, about 2400 yen

I picked this one up this time from a few more that I bought as the fall sake lineup is gradually coming in. Anyway, the aroma is to my liking, and it has a nice scent that reminds me of ramune or melon. The taste is not sharp, but rather a sweetness and sourness that gives it a depth and depth that is typical of autumn sakes, and leaves a gentle aftertaste at the end of drinking. It is too good to enjoy this taste at this price! 720, about 2000 yen

I've been drinking a little bit in the heat, but I've been too lazy to write it down, so I haven't been able to record it at all. Bizen Omachi is my personal favorite among the kafuda. The aroma is moderate, and there is a slight impression of acidity, like apples. It is a sweet sake with a clear sweetness at the moment of drinking, but the impression of sweetness and umami from the rice is strong, and it finishes with a slight sourness and bitterness. There are many varieties of Kafuda, some of which I have not tried yet, but among the many I have tried, Bizen Omachi is my favorite! 720, about 2300 yen

A flower eup that is only seen once in a while, I was lucky enough to come across it and bought it. The aroma is mild, like a peach. The taste is not too sweet, but you can feel the rich sweetness. The sharpness is so good that you can hardly feel any bitterness or sourness, so even if you pour it one after another, you won't feel the weight of it. The impression of this sake is different when you open the bottle at home than when you drink it at a restaurant, and since this sake has a clear sweetness, I felt that the best way to drink it was to savor it with a bottle of sake rather than drinking it with a variety of other liquors. 720, about 1900 yen

I tasted it at an event and was attracted by its taste, so I bought it. I didn't notice it when I was drinking it at the event, but when I poured it into a glass, it looked a little yellowish in color. The aroma gives the impression of being similar to a white wine, with no strong sweetness, but when you drink it, you will find that it has a good balance of sweetness and moderate acidity, with a crisp, clean finish that makes it easy to drink in the summer as well. Recently, we have seen more and more low-polishing sake, but I was surprised to see that 90% rice can produce such a taste. The price is reasonable, and if it were easier to find, I would buy this sake more often for everyday drinking. 720, about 2000 yen

I often buy San-do when I see it, but this was the first time I had ever tasted Yamadanishiki Rokunosai. The aroma is of green apples and lactic acid, with a slight bubbly sensation. It is my favorite type of sake. It is juicy and full of sweetness, with a hint of acidity afterwards. It is easy to drink, so be careful not to drink too much! In terms of taste, it was similar to the Impression H sake! Unfortunately, my inexperienced taste buds could not detect much difference between this and the Ninonozo, and I guess the difference in price is due to the amount of time and effort required, but I had higher expectations when the price went up... I wonder if I could tell the difference if I actually compare the two side by side... 720, about 3800 yen

It is from a company called Concept Workers? It seems that the main sake brewer is Takagi Sake Brewery of Toyonoume! Various breweries seem to be participating in this project, but I didn't know much about the intricacies, so I picked up the sake from my favorite brewery for the time being. The aroma was of apples and pineapples with a strong acidity. It is a sweet and sour juicy type of sake with no hint of alcohol, which makes it easy to drink. It is a sweet and juicy type of sake with a strong acidity that does not feel like alcohol. 720 yen, about 1800 yen

I had a chance to drink some sake from a new brewery in Kochi, and I bought it because it was my favorite strain. Personally, I had high expectations for this sake because it comes from Kameizumi. When cold, the aroma was rather subdued, and as the temperature rose, I could detect a pineapple-like aroma, which is typical of Seru. It is a sweet and sour type of sake with both sweetness and sourness coming out strongly, and the sourness leaves a stronger impression than the very sweet type. The sourness that lingers in the mouth leaves a strong impression, and the sake finishes relatively nicely, giving the impression of a dry sake. 720, about 2400 yen

Although there was a warning on the bottle, it had been sitting for a while after purchase, so it opened with no problems, although it did feel a little brisk. The lees didn't mix well because it was chilled a little too much... I couldn't wait for it to adjust to room temperature, so I drank the supernatant for the time being. While drinking the supernatant, the aroma was pear-like, but after mixing and pouring, the aroma was slightly acidic, like that of ramune and apples. The moderate sweetness and exquisite acidity combined with the fresh and refreshing impression, the lactic acidity was not so strong and there was a slight gassy feeling right after opening the bottle. Surprisingly, there is a bitter aftertaste. 720, about 1700

Hi yu 😃 I'm really interested in this new Kochira Koei Chrysanthemum! I'm really curious about it, but I'm afraid I'm late to the party and can't afford it 😨. I'd love to try it 😋 fresh and refreshing ‼️

Good evening, I heard that the store I frequent restocked at the beginning of this week, so maybe some stores have them. I hope you can find it safely!

The aroma is modest, but the sweetness comes through from the moment it enters the mouth, and from the middle to the end of drinking, the sweetness with a slightly strong acidity lingers gradually. However, if the wine is chilled too much, the acidity will stand out in the foreground for a few sips until it adjusts to room temperature. This type of alcohol is often drunk more and more due to its low alcohol content and ease of drinking, but you can gobble it down without worry because it is quite low in alcohol content. You can gobble it down with no worries! A little slim 500ml, about 1300 yen

It seems to have a slight gassy feeling and feels a little vigorous when opening. The nose is clean and clear with a melon-like aroma. Immediately after taking a sip, the sweetness and umami taste is gradually felt, but soon after, the acidity gradually rises up. There is so much difference between the aroma before and after taking a sip and the imagined sweetness that you may be confused for a moment, thinking that the sweetness is just pulled by the aroma and that there is actually almost no sweetness at all.... The sweetness is so exquisite that you may be confused for a moment. As I drank it the next day and the day after that, I felt that the sweetness stood out thanks to the acidity that had settled down, or maybe it was just a matter of me getting used to it, but I felt that I could feel a firm sweetness. The finish is clean and refreshing, and it seems to be a good sake for a meal. 720, about 1900 yen

Was it super-limited before? I had a very limited edition before. I drank a bottle of the "Super Limited Edition" at a store and liked the taste, so I picked it up for the first time. The aroma is very nice, like muscat, and it gives you the expectation of sweetness. However, my actual impression was that there was almost no sweetness, but rather a dry sake that starts with umami and finishes with bitterness and acidity. It is crisp, clear, and has no habits, so it is a perfect food sake. As someone who only wants to enjoy sake on its own, my impression was that it was a little different from what I was looking for. 720, about 1800 yen

When the bottle was opened, a slight gas was felt. The aroma was rather subdued, with an image of graininess rather than a ginjo aroma. It has a soft mouthfeel with a hint of sweetness and a strong umami flavor. I have only had a few Morishima at stores, and this is the first time I have actually seen it for sale, but the store where I bought it this time had a large variety of Morishima, so I would like to explore it a little more. 720, about 2100 yen

The aroma is mild and slightly peachy. There is a slight gassy feeling immediately after opening the bottle. I had drunk it at a restaurant before, but when I actually drank it at home, I thought it tasted more sour than I had expected. The next day, however, the sourness had eased up and the balance of sweetness and flavor was just right. It is a fresh sweet-umami type, and the sweetness gradually lingers after the end of drinking. Personally, it was my second favorite sake after Bizen Omachi. 720, about 2500 yen

Musical instrument Masamune, which is hard to find, I saw it for a long time and bought it without hesitation. The aroma is slightly subdued, like that of pears. There is almost no gassiness, and it is sweet, but by the time you finish it, it is juicy and refreshing with a slight bitterness that finishes nicely. This is the first time I've had this one, and I always wish it were easier to find... I always wish it were easier to find... 720, about 1600, really cheap...

Since I liked Ouroboros, I have been drinking Tenryohai Sake brewery's sake more and more often. The aroma is moderate, but it has a hint of sweetness like peaches. The sweetness is quite strong and the acidity is moderate. Although it is sweet, it has a good sharpness, so it is not too sweet and you will not get tired of drinking it even if you keep drinking it, so be careful not to drink too much! 720, about 2400 yen

Good evening, Mr. YU! Tenryohaii Sake Brewery's Ouroboros is delicious 😋. I remember my first Ouroboros from Tenryohai Sake Brewery was also very good ✨. I'm curious about Masayo's Zuika, which I haven't had yet so be careful not to drink too much 😁✨.

Ouroboros is so delicious! It's not as sweet as the other ones, but it's very refreshing and tasty!

Takasago松喰鶴　山田錦　火入れ

Kiyasho Shuzojo Mie

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
