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 😫!

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.

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.

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 💦.

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 😫👍.

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 👍
