禊萩(自生)
The year ends in a few hours. The last drinking session. The last drink of the year was a trophy from the Shinetsu Roadside Station Tour: Murayusuke, the main brand of Niigata Prefecture's Murayusuke Sake Brewery. We found and purchased it at a special distributor in Nagaoka City. The store told us it was a ginjo. Misogi Hagi, the greatest result of the roadside station tour. The aroma is a nutty ginjo aroma with a strong sense of rice. The palate has a strong, refreshing acidity, followed by a moderate sweetness. The aftertaste is also refreshing. We are grateful to have encountered a good sake. Have a happy New Year!

禊萩(自生)
Today is the last day of the year 2025. Today is also the last day for drinking. Gyokusendo Shuzo's main brand, Liyuisen, is located in Yoro-machi. Last week, when I toured sake breweries in Ogaki City, I went to Yoro Town and visited Gyokusendo Brewery. However, since Liyuisen and Mukaze are sold by a special distributor, I bought them at a local liquor store. The one I bought was Lanjatai. By the way, I bought this one from a store in Mugegawa Onsen. It seems that the supplier is a distributor. The aroma is a feeling close to the nut with a strong grain feeling. The palate starts with rice flavor and bitterness, and ends with a light sweetness and acidity. We are grateful to have encountered a good sake.

One more bottle. A bottle of Hourai doburoku by Watanabe Shuzo in Furukawa, Hida City. Purchased at a supermarket in Takayama City. The aroma is a melon type ginjo aroma with a strong rice flavor. The top clear taste is dry with a strong umami flavor. When it is mixed with muddy water, a rich sweetness is added. It can be called a dry doburoku.

Furthermore, it is a drinking gruel for the Western Army of Sekigahara in the decisive battle. The label is Mitsunari Ishida, the general of the Western Army. The aroma is a pineapple-type ginjo aroma with a hint of sourness. There is more lees than in the East. The bitter taste comes first, followed by umami. It is drier than Togun. If you drink it after the honjozo, the honjozo will taste sweeter, and vice versa, the bitterness will disappear and only the umami will remain. The difference in taste between the East and the West is due to the distinct characteristics of the sake rice and yeast. This kind of drinking comparison is also fun.

As I declared yesterday, I drink Grui for the Eastern Army in the decisive battle of Sekigahara. The label is Tokugawa Ieyasu, the general of the eastern army. The aroma is a melon-type ginjo aroma. The mouthfeel has a rich umami flavor with a refreshing acidity, from which comes the sweetness of the rice. If you drink the honjozo after drinking this one, the alcohol taste will be emphasized, and vice versa, the sweetness will be thicker. An easy-drinking bottle.

Today we will drink Gifu Prefecture's sake. Miwa Sake Brewery's brand name is Kessen Sekigahara. We bought a set of three bottles at a roadside station in Ono-cho. This is the middle sake. Today, we visited the brewery. We bought several bottles of sake and sake lees. Kessen Sekigahara consists of three bottles: a Junmai Daiginjo East Army, a Junmai Daiginjo West Army, and a Junmai Honjozo in the middle. The Honjozo was served first. The aroma has a strong alcohol-like scent. The mouthfeel is slightly sweet from umami and bitterness without acidity. It is not a distinctive taste, but it is a basic taste that one should try the East and the West based on this. I decided to leave half of it and drink the eastern and western varieties tomorrow.

A light bottle of Grui before going to bed. A sparkling sake, Utakata, by Gekkeikan of Fushimi, Kyoto. Purchased at a supercenter in Mino City. It is a bottle of sake for a mealtime drink, but I tried it on its own. The aroma is yogurt-like with a strong sourness. The taste is a good match between the acidity and carbonation, which enhances the sweetness of the sake. The fruity flavor is asserted, so it could be called a fruit cider. This kind of cider is also interesting.

Today, too, we are going to drink Gifu Prefecture's sake. Continuing from yesterday, we had Mutsuitori ancient rice sake, the main brand of Matsuiya Sake Brewery in Tomika Town. It is a rare product made from black rice, an ancient rice produced in Tomika Town. Purchased at the brewery. The aroma is an apple-like ginjo aroma. The mouthfeel has a light sweetness to the rice flavor with a refreshing acidity. The price is appropriate because of the rarity of the rice, but it is a kind of romanticism when you think that it comes from the oldest family register in Japan, the Hanburi family register.
