Shinmasa Ecru" "Namikyo Kiyoke Junmai I got this wine as a prize in a rock-paper-scissors-scissors tournament at a get-together held in Akita the other day! I served it to the people around me at that time and got the rest of the bottle and brought it back home with me. It has just the right amount of sweetness and acidity, overflowing juiciness, and a citrus peel-like bitterness. I can drink it forever. It's still delicious. Thank you!

Ni-Uto Junmai Ginjo Yamadanishiki Gojugo Ni-Utsuri purchased from Lajomon. The concept of Ni-Utsuri is still the same: a perfect balance of flavor and aroma, weight and lightness, sweetness and spiciness, and entry and sharpness. We can't stop 💦.

Hirotogawa Special Junmai Our favorite "Hirotogawa Special Junmai" 🍶. The flow and balance of the subtle sweetness, banana flavor, rice flavor, and the final sharpness. I think I'll just alternate between this and a bottle of the mid-pack of Masamune Gakki every night. I really like it.

Ayana Junmai Daiginjo This was the first HARE/SAKE that I received as a gift from a customer. I had never heard of this sake before, but it had just the right amount of sweetness and green apple flavor, and even though it was 35% polished rice, the Yamada-Nishiki flavor was very strong. I rushed to google it and found out it was a very expensive sake 💦. It was delicious! Thanks for the treat 🙏. Thank you 🙇‍♂️

Sharaku Junmai Shu My favorite normal Sharaku 🍶. It has a hint of sweetness, melon, rice flavor, and a nice sharpness. I wonder if it is really good at this price. It's still my favorite local sake. I love it 🙌.

Hanaizumi Shuzo Glutinous rice four-stage brewing special junmai It's been a long time since I've had a Hanazono sake. I remember how sweet and easy to drink sake was when I was young and couldn't drink sake because it was too spicy and smelled like drunkenness.

Hanamai Yuu Junmai Ginjo Omachi It's been a long time since we've had Hanamup. On the first day of opening the bottle, I thought it was a little harsh, but when I opened it a few days later, the taste settled down. The flavor of Omachi rice and the elegant, deliciously sweet mouthfeel are just like Jyushidai's. It's delicious!

Good evening, Koutarou-san! I enjoyed Hanamup's Omachi slowly because I was drinking a bottle at home, but I sure enjoyed the passage of days 😋. Hanamup-san's sake is delicious, isn't it 🤗.

Miyazumi Junmai Ginjo Comet Nigori Nama Rare BabyBlue label that I bought when I went back to Aizu 🍶. Is it suitable for a particular drinker? It was strong, sweet, and bitter, with enough gas to make the cork fly open if you put the bottle in the fridge after opening. It's also delicious 😫. (I'm still a fan of Aizu lol.)

The "Seikyuu Soma Dori Yume no Kou x Fukunoka" (The scent of Yume no Kou x Fukunoka) I bought a bottle of my favorite Ikki Sama as a souvenir when I went back home to Aizu 🍶. It has a soft sweetness, white peachiness, a hint of gas, and a sharp finish. It was perfect for the spicy hot bean curd. Delicious 😊.

Aizu Shikon Junmai Ginjo White Koji Brewing I bought a bottle of Aizu Shikon as a souvenir from my parents' home in Aizuwakamatsu. It is bitter and sharp, with a hint of gas, sweetness, and apple flavor. I feel the assertion of bitter rather than sweet and sour from white malted rice. For those who don't like sweet sake 👍

Tsukihaku no Tenmei Junmai Ginjo Hon Nama I came back to Aizu Wakamatsu, my hometown, so I had a chance to taste some Aizu sake. The sake has the delicious taste of 100% Yamadanishiki rice produced in Aizu, the freshness of the unpasteurized sake, and the lovely acidity and sweetness of malic acid, which is very popular nowadays. You can fully enjoy the lovely sourness and sweetness of malic acid. I really like the taste 😫👍 I love Aizu 🍶.

Junmai Ginjo Aoi" (Junmai Ginjo Aoi) A summer sake from Higashi Kaizakari, which impressed us when we first saw it at last year's sake meeting. First of all, it has a good summery gasiness. The first thing to notice is the moderate summery gasiness, with a hint of lactic acidity, white grape-like sweetness and Omachi umami. It is a perfect summer sake. Delicious👍.

Special Junmai Nama Shu (pure rice sake)". I bought this "Shouting to the Earth" after reading a POP saying it was "like biting into a white grape" at Lajomon. It was so juicy that I checked the label several times to see if there were really no white grapes in the ingredients. Too good 🍶. So far, 2025 No.1✨.

AKABU SEA 2025." AKABU SEA is my personal No. 1 sake in 2023 🍶. It is definitely one of the top 5 sake this year as well. Clear and easy to drink like the crystal-clear sea, with a refreshing aroma of early summer. The fresh sweetness and juiciness are just as good as it should be!

Tetorigawa Junmai Daiginjyo Nama-Nagara Sake Hyakumangoku No Shiro Tetorigawa after a long absence. The rice used for this sake is "Hyakumangoku No Shiro", a new sake rice from Ishikawa Prefecture. The quality of the sake is clear with low protein content. It is a bit sweet, but has a good amount of gas and a sharpness at the end. Good for an aperitif.
