Gakki Masamune Kozo Kozo Omachi I was so worried about the bottle I bought at Hasegawa Sake Brewery in the basement of Tokyo Station that I had to choose one. The No.1 wine of 2025 was decided at New Year's this year! The soft taste of rice, sweetness, and gaseousness that is typical of musical instruments gradually spread from the soft mouthfeel to the palate. Delicious👍!

Lajomon Kazanzan-zosen Tokubetsu Junmai Sake This is the second year of Kazanazumi. Like last year, it is easy to drink and has a good acidity that goes well with any meal. It has a white wine-like fruitiness from the white malted rice and a banana-like flavor from the iso type yeast No. 6, making it extremely delicious. I like this year's version better!

Arikato Junmai Daiginjo This is a limited edition sake from the Fuji Shuzo brewery of our favorite Eiko-Fuji. It doesn't have the gassiness of Eiko-Fuji, so the sweetness stands out a bit, but it's still juicy and gorgeous. It's delicious 😊Arikatou!

Snow Storage Daiginjo A senior colleague of mine gave me a bottle of a sake he's been into lately to try. As the description says, the tank was buried in the snow to mellow the flavor, the ginjo aroma is subdued and the taste is mild with strong acidity. On the second day, the acidity settled down and it became even mellower.

Hakurakusei Aravai Junmai Daiginjo 2025 I wonder if a month has already passed... I remember how much fun I had at ARATSU... and I'll try this year's Hakurakusei x ARATSU 🍶. It has a subtle sweetness, freshness, green apple flavor, moderate acidity, and a sharp finish. It has a moderate sweetness and is perfect as a food sake 👍.

Tasyu Junmai Daiginjo 40%5 Momota Tasake can given as a souvenir by a customer from Aomori Well, it's just as they say! The aroma of ginjo really spreads the moment you open the can. The juicy fruity aroma of Tasake is combined with the gorgeousness of Daiginjo, and I finished the 180ml in no time at all. Delicious 😫👍

Aizu Musume Jo Tokuhisa 114 Junmai Ginjo-shu "Yutaka" series (brewed from rice harvested from a single rice paddy) The first Tokuhisa has a freshness with a moderate sweetness and an elegant ginjo aroma with a dry finish. The taste of each rice field is different, even for the same rice called "Gohyakumangoku"...

Suirou Ginjyo Super Dry The first "Suiroku" given to me by a relative. It is not so dry as to be called "super dry" and is not so gorgeous as a ginjo, but it has a good balance of subtle amino acid derived umami and a nose-pleasing aroma that makes it easy to drink. This kind of sake is good sometimes 😊.

Tenbi Junmai Ginjo Hotaruten After much agonizing and worrying at the Hasegawa Sake Shop in Gransta, Tokyo Station, I purchased a bottle of Tenbi summer sake and went to Izakaya Shinkansen 🍶. It has a juicy sweetness reminiscent of La France with just the right amount of chili, and the low alcohol content (13%) makes it very easy to drink, making it a true summer sake. It is very easy to drink at a low alcohol content of 13% and is a true summer sake.

ROMAN Junmai Ginjo Ippatsu Hiiryu ARABAKI ROCK FEST.25 | April 26 (Sat) - 27 (Sun), 2025 "Eco Camp Michinoku", Michinoku Park North District This year again, we drank sake while listening to live music in the luxury of a tent 🍶. The representative year-round sake of the Loman series. The four-stage glutinous rice brewing process gives it a sweet, umami taste with a clean, crisp aftertaste, and it's easy to drink, so it's perfect for a mealtime drink. And a high-cost sake 🙌.

Toyo Bijin Jundo Ittou Limited Junmai Ginjo Saito no Shizuku It's been a while since I've had a Toyo Bijin. It is full of juiciness reminiscent of apples and pineapples, a bit sweet, but the bitterness at the end gives it a good overall balance. I heard that the fourth generation Sumikawa brewer trained at Takagi Sake Brewery when he was a student! It is strange that it feels like Jyushiyo when I hear that 🍶.

It has a freshness of new sake, a drinkability of 19 degrees Celsius, and a rich and thick taste, with a modest slightly cloudy gaseous taste. It was also priced at a high CP of 1,300 yen 🙌.

Kakuemon Tokubetsu Junmai Sokkaku Sokkaku Sokkaku Zume" (Kakuemon special junmai) Kakuemon with a spring-like pink label 🍶. It is a fresh, capsule type sake. The label and the color of the sake made me think of sweet and tasty schwarz, but the pineapple-lingo after bitterness is impressive. It tastes good and you won't get tired of drinking it.

Sei Junmai Ginjo Yamadanishiki Nama Shu The other day, I bought a bottle of Sei with an austere label from Lajomon. This is the right capsule type sake. It has a gorgeousness that makes you think this is the right capsule type, mango-pineapple fruitiness, a nice gassy feeling, good acidity, and a good dryness. It's good to have something like this once in a while👍.
