Sweet and sour like Calpis, then bitter and umami!
I don't know about the previous year, but the complexity of this nigori is different from other active nigoris because it has a strong sense of "sake yeast".
It has sweetness, but it is not as sweet as the thicker Calpis one usually gets from nigori.

The freshness of new sake is in full bloom!
This balance of sweet and sour is the best!
A little bit of umami in the back end, but it's understated and light.
I like it very much!

This is the first Tenbi, but is it dry?
It has a gentle sweet and sour taste with a good sharpness.
As I am a sweet-tasting person, I am looking forward to drinking other Tenmis!
It can be drunk by itself or with strong flavored food.

Fresh, gassy, and rummy!
This is the second Akabu I've tasted after Jade, and I can't believe how good it tastes!
The balance between the solid umami and a little bitterness is very pleasant!
The cost performance is excellent, I wish they had a 4-pack set up so I could drink it at home!

It starts with a slight acidity and a strong flavor typical of Omachi.
However, it disappears in a flash, and the light finish makes it easy to gobble up!
It is amazing that Omachi can express such modernity!

Purchased a drinkable size of Tenpyo Junmai from Kagoshima, which has not been checked in yet.
The aroma is mild but modern!
The acidity is a little pronounced, but it is well balanced with sweetness and flavor, and the aftertaste is light!
It has a light aftertaste and is very cost-effective.
This is the best size and I don't get tired of drinking it!
Kagoshima is not to be underestimated!

The first No. 6 is the N-type, which was lucky enough to win the lottery.
The mouthfeel is still very acidic like kiwifruit, a characteristic of Shinsei.
Muscat, white wine-like taste.
The aftertaste is made up of sweetness and a slight astringency, and has a three-dimensional taste like that of wasanbon and marmalade.
I like it better than Cosmos and Flax Cat in the way the umami is expressed.
Delicious, delicious, but expensive...

First PRIVATE LAB...
Like the Cosmos, it has a strong acidity like kiwifruit.
However, I have the impression that the acidity here is more in harmony with the sweetness, and I prefer it!
The label also said it had a plum aroma, and it certainly does...
The half umami is also well felt, and the aftertaste is very light as well!

First Shinsei is cosmos.
The aroma is quite mild.
Fresh acidity that jumps into the mouth
Kiwi fruitiness.
The aftertaste is very light, and the sweetness is moderate.
Anyway, the impression of acidity and lightness.
Delicious, but I think my expectations were too high.
Is this the kind of wine that needs to be left to mature?

The nose is very mild
Light on the palate, with a refreshing sweetness and acidity, reminiscent of strawberries.
It has less miscellaneous taste than the Honjozo Nakatori (the rice polishing ratio of Kake rice is 70 to 60), and it is dangerous because it has no alcohol feeling from start to finish.
It is still the best in terms of cost performance!

Then here's another one.
The original recipe reproduction I mentioned earlier had only a slightly sparkling taste despite being fire-brewed, but this one has the same taste,
The aroma of this one is like Kaze no Mori at first!
The balance of bitterness, sweetness, and sourness in the mouth is exactly like Kaze no Mori!
Then the flavor and softness of Okunoto's Shirakiku was added to it,
It doesn't have as much body as Kaze no Mori, but that's good!

Noto's sake, don't stop!
The year 2025 starts here with a thought for Noto.
First, the original recipe reproduction sake
Soft and gentle aroma
Gentle on the palate, with a gentle sweetness and acidity.
The finish is slightly bitter and astringent, but with a light aftertaste.
I have not had the original Junmai Daiginjo yet, but I can't wait to drink it again!

A balance of umami and acidity0
The entry is heavy for a jun-daigin, but the back palate is light with only a hint of acidity.
Although it is fire-aged, I would like to see a little more youthfulness that is typical of new sake.
For this price, I would choose Masanochi Nakadori.

The fine sweetness typical of Yamadanishiki is well expressed and well balanced with acidity and umami.
It has a light aftertaste, but I prefer New Moon.

Slightly effervescent, with a slight acidity and a young astringency.
After that, a little sweetness and umami.
Compared to the Yoshikawa Yamadanishiki Jun Daigin, it is more refreshing.
