Kudokijozu超辛口吟醸　生詰　白ばくれん純米吟醸生詰酒

An sake brewed not with Yamada Nishiki, as one might expect, but with Yamada Ho rice. I purchased this for a family member who loves extra dry sake. Recently, even Japanese sake that is advertised as karakuchi often has a noticeable sweetness to it (though I understand that "sharpness" does not necessarily equate to "dryness"). This one, for the first time in a while, gave me a straightforward "this is dry" feeling.

This brand is a delicious sake that is affordable and easily available (around here). This specific hiya-oroshi isn't even listed on their official website. I wonder if it's a limited edition? It's mellow and rich, but not too sweet or too acidic, and it paired perfectly with buri-daikon.

The story behind this sake is that the moromi was played Mozart. I had it with oden, but its flavor was quite bold and full-bodied, similar to a Yamahai. I realize now I should have matched it with a much richer meal.

Don't be fooled by the term extra dry. You might expect a sharp, crisp finish, but this sake surprised me with the lovely scent of apple and a touch of sweetness in the first sip.

A low-polish Japanese sake, which has recently become popular, made with 100% Aiyama rice. While the note mentioned a dry and sharp finish,but I was most impressed by its fruity aroma and sweetness.

Crafted using Gorobei rice, a well-known local brand. The taste is a superb fusion of modern and classic styles.

​I finally got to try Mutsu Hassen—I'd never had it before. ​This is their standard Junmai sake. ​It's crisp, with a clean finish and great balance!

With a pinecone on the label, this is a perfectly autumnal sake. While you might anticipate it being fruity and sweet, it delivers excellent crispness, acidity, and umami.

A Sake made with rice from the Obasute Rice Terraces, an area designated as one of "Japan's Top 100 Rice Terraces". It offered a wonderful combination of a sharp, dry taste and a mellow mouthfeel—truly delicious!

A beautiful, refined brew that has the mellow acidity characteristic of the Yamahai method, with a pleasant sense of maturity.

Freshly opened, it has a crisp flavor, like a clear autumn sky. As the temperature rises slightly, the aroma opens up and you can start to taste the umami.

A refreshing fizz, just the right amount of acidity, and a nice fruity flavor. It was a sake I could drink all night without getting tired of it.

Trying a sake made with Senbon-Nishiki for the first time. The rich umami of this hiyaoroshi and its grape-like scent really make me feel like autumn is here.

This "highly polished" sake, made with Aiyama rice, was specially crafted for the event. Right after opening it, a gassy, fruity sweetness stood out. As it warmed up, the finish became sharper and cleaner, which was absolutely delicious!

This is the recovery sake from the Furuya Sake Brewery, after they were devastated by a fire. They made 2,000 bottles with "Hitogokochi" rice they were just able to get from the local area. For me, it wasn't about the taste; I drank it as a local showing my support. ( It was delicious, of course!)

I'll drink it with an open mind. It has a neutral aroma, but a fruity and rich flavor. This would likely pair well with dishes that complement sparkling wine.
