Bekkaeshin Kuheiji Bekkaeshin 2023 Act 1: The Blessings of the Earth The first Kuheiji vintage was opened 🍶. It has the same gaseous sensation that is typical of Kuheiji, but with the umami sweetness of the vintage Yamadanishiki rice. It's so good! I'm going to like it again.

Shinmasa Aki-Sakura (Cosmos) Koroshin-ko, Wooden Oke Junmai" (Japanese sake) I opened a bottle of Cosmos 2024 as a reward for myself after a long day at work 🍶. I love the green floral and lactic acidity derived from the cedar vat 😫. The sweetness is moderate and the balance of bitterness and acidity is good. It's really good 👍!

Odayaka Junmai Ginjo Light Nigori Nama Fukushima Prefecture connection: NIIDASENSHU Ginjo aroma like fresh apple, peach-like sweetness, natural rice flavor, and a good amount of gas from the second fermentation in the bottle. It's spring 🌸😊. (I love light nigori)

Miyazumi Junmai Ginjo Miyamanishiki Nama Sake I bought the red label when I was back home in Aizu. The red label with gold lettering is just like the gorgeous image of the label: apple fruity, peachy sweetness, well balanced with a touch of bitterness, and no unpleasant gassiness. It is also delicious! (I am still an Aizu lover lol).

Junrei Tama Label Shiboritate Nama-nama Sake I bought a bottle of Bikuyo's Shiboritate after drinking it at an izakaya the other day and liking it so much. It has a really nice balance of bitterness to contrast the sweetness. I liked the pineapple flavor of CEL-24, but this one is good too.

Miyakanbai Junmai Ginjo SPRING TIME My favorite Shiki TIME series🍶. It has a soft mouthfeel, gorgeous aroma, and a pleasant gaseous taste, which is typical of Miyakanbai. However, I think it is a little too sweet for me... If you like sweet and easy-drinking sake, this is for you.

Wataya Junmai Daiginjo Yamadanishiki 45 Polish I received this bottle as a year-end gift, but could not open it for a long time, so I opened it with a friend 🍶. The ginjo aroma of a daiginjo is subdued, but the flavor of Yamadanishiki is well balanced with sweetness and acidity. I drank the whole bottle in one go 💦.

Yuki no Mayu Junmai Ginjo Last year, they rebranded from "Sake Forest" to "Yukinomayu" (I didn't know that 💦 I liked the label of "Sake Forest"). (I didn't know that 💦 I liked the label on the Josu-Mori label...) The freshness and lychee flavor of the raw sake, the moderate sweetness and acidity from the single-stage brewing, and the good dryness. This would go well with any tsumami 😊. Delicious.

No.6 X-type We had a lot of hardships today, so we opened a bottle of our special X-type with the meaning of exorcising evil spirits. The first impression is that it has a wooden vat and lactic acidity. It's not too sweet, and the balance of acidity makes it incredibly easy to drink. Shinsei is so good that it makes me smile. I love it 😫!
