こうたろう
Shin Takachiyo Sou N-TYPE Unfiltered Nama Sake The last souvenir I bought in Niigata was Shin Takachiyo🍶 with the theme of low-alcohol daytime drinking. It has a firm sweetness, LaFrance flavor, lactic acidity, and a sense of overflowing gas. The acidity brings it all together. I like it.

Kakuemon Super-fast Immediately Tsume Junmai Shiboritate Nama-Shu". I was surprised to find this new Kakuemon sake in my neighborhood. It has Kakuemon's typical acidity and strength, but with the freshness of being immediately packed. I found another good sake shop!

Hououmida Junmai Ginjo-shu Unrefined Hon Nama The standard of Hououmida 🍶. It has a Muscat flavor that is typical of Hououmida, but it also emphasizes umami. It has a certain amount of acidity and bitterness, so it is a sake that you want to drink slowly rather than as a food sake.

こうたろう
Okuroku Tokubetsu Junmai Shu Ikamishimo Classical The first Classical from Okuroku, which is expected to be a big hit this year. It is 90% low-polished, yet it is bursting with umami without any cloying taste. It has just the right amount of acidity and sharpness, making it classical but somehow modern. It is also delicious.

Eikofuji Junmai Daiginjo Sake Mirai The luxury of 50% pure sake mirai 💦. The sweetness that is typical of Eiko-Fuji, the overflowing melon, the moderate gasiness, the smooth mouthfeel, and the sharpness of the bitterness at the end. It's delicious. I love Eikoufuji after all.

Junmai Ginjyo Aizan" by Masamune Gakki My first Aizan from my favorite Musical Instrument Masamune 🍶. It's only January.... This is so good that it makes me want to shout ✨No.1 for 2025. The soft mouthfeel of the Aizan gradually spreads to the palate with its umami sweetness and instrumental-like slight effervescence. Too good 😫👍. I've never emptied a bottle so quickly 💦.

Jikin Tokubetsu Junmai Nigori Sake Nama Since it is New Year's Day, we had a nigori sake of Jikin. Sweet and delicious. This is already a Calpis sour for adults. Juicy, full of gas, and the final umami. Jikin is delicious this year, too! I love it!

Yamama Special Junmai Sake Unfiltered Unrefined Genshu I bought a bottle of Yamama in Niigata as a souvenir 🍶. The aroma is fragrant and gaseous due to the low-temperature bottle-firing process, yet the flavor is thick and rich. It is moderately dry with good acidity. Delicious 😊.

Futo Junmai Daiginjo Aizan 48 Fire A friend gave us a bottle of Ni-Utsuri as a gift for opening a new business. The taste is strange, with both heavy and light, sweet and spicy, just like the concept of Ni-Utsuri. I like both the freshness when the bottle is opened and the roundness on the third day 😫👍.

Kaze no Mori Akitsuho 657 Brought with mother at a hot spring 🍶. It has a balance of fresh gasiness, white grape-like fruitiness, and sweet and sour sharpness that is typical of Kaze no Mori. It's still very tasty. And it's cheap.

Good morning, Koutarou-san. Nice hot spring with your mother 😌♨️🍶. I'm sure your mother must be very happy ✨. I've never received much of the Kaze no Mori ALPHA unexpectedly, so I'm curious again 😊.
Japanese>English
こうたろう
Thank you ma-ki-😊 Sake after a bath and a hot spring meal is the best ✨. I often buy Akitsuho 657 because it's the cheapest sake in Kaze no Mori's lineup and yet it's so good 😆.

Tenmei Nakadori Ichigo Junmai Namaishu I returned to my hometown of Aizuwakamatsu, so I had to try a sake from Aizu. It is a standard sake that is truly Tenmei's mainstream, using Yamadanishiki for the koji rice and Gohyakumangoku for the kake rice. Anyway, it is sweet, tasty, fresh, lush, clean and transparent! I love it 👍

Abe Junmai Ginjo Silver Label I bought Abe-chan as a souvenir in Niigata 🍶. It has a dryness of sweetness and acidity with a hint of gas and bitterness that is typical of Abe Sake Brewery. It can be served with food or on its own. It's like Shinmasa, and it's still delicious. It is my favorite sake from Niigata.

Aizu Musume Jo Matsubara 8 Junmai Ginjo-shu "Jo" series 🍶, brewed with each rice harvested from a single rice paddy. It has the delicious flavor of Gohyakumangoku rice, elegant acidity, not too sweet and not too spicy, and excellent freshness. In fact, it is my favorite sake from my hometown Aizu. Delicious 😫. Love it 😫.

Yamadanishiki Ni-no-shiro" (Sannodo Yamadanishiki) I just finished a big job, so I had a bottle of my favorite San-do. It is simply delicious. It has just the right amount of sweetness, a moderate fruitiness and lactic acidity, the umami of Yamadanishiki, a thick mouthfeel, and a strong gaseous sensation. A model of modern sake 😫👍.
