外飲み部

Mmmm producing soil, too complex. The aroma is mild, but fresh and melon-like. The mouthfeel is fizzy, and after the chili chili feeling is gone, what emerges is a unique and deep flavor that can be felt only in San-do, which is both spicy and woody. This taste is so complex and intertwined with several elements that it is impossible to describe. It is a taste that leaves one at a loss for vocabulary! 5.00

The wine has a freshness that is hard to believe it is fire-roasted, and just the right amount of sweetness and acidity. The depth of flavor that can be enjoyed on its own, but with a pleasant aftertaste that can be paired with any meal. Mimuro cedar always amazes me! 4.50

(Right photo) I was a little prepared for this sake because it is a "nama-hashiroshi" aged sake, but it has a beautifully concentrated flavor with a calm sweetness and light acidity, as is typical of Nagano and Kinmon-nishiki. The aroma is gorgeous, like apples or white peaches. This is Junmai Daiginjo! 4.50

(Left photo) Mild aroma Soft on the palate, with a strong spread of umami. There is little sweetness, but the moderate acidity brings it all together, and the mild umami acidity continues through to the finish. A bottle that stands out for its well-balanced taste, just like a food sake. 4.25

KAGOYA (籠屋仙川店)

A mellow, umami-kuchi sake quality that is new to Kouei Kiku. The sweetness is quite strong and robust. Yet, it is not too heavy, and the freshness typical of nama-zake brings this strong sweetness together nicely. The lactic acidity and the bitterness that tightens the aftertaste are also good accents. 4.25

KAGOYA (籠屋仙川店)

Compared to the normal Abe+, the sweet and tasty acidity is more pronounced, and the acidity is particularly strong, with an aroma like ripe grapes. Its atmosphere is somewhat similar to that of Yonotori. There is absolutely no hint of a tangy taste. This may be due to the combination of Hashira shochu brewing and high refining. The sweetness and umami are cut off quickly in the aftertaste, and the acidity remains pleasantly smooth. 5.00

家飲み部

I happened to be able to purchase a bottle of Yonotori that had been aged for about a year, so I opened the bottle before it was ready to drink! The aroma was a little sweeter than I expected, but it was surprisingly subdued, with a little graininess typical of sake, and a heavy aroma reminiscent of a mellow dry sake. The first impact on the palate is a purple grape-like acidity typical of Shinsei. Once swallowed, it has a fleeting aftertaste, but upon closer inspection, it has a fine balance of sweetness and acidity in a thickened, honey-like texture. At the end, you can also taste a crisp, pleasant bitterness and astringency, perhaps from the wooden vat... Without preconceptions 5.00 But I don't think it can be compared to other sake Lot: 23PHT08

KAGOYA (籠屋仙川店)

Refreshing and gorgeous mouthfeel It has a floral, Aizan-like flavor, but it is more like Kaze-no-mori than a floral, Aizan-like flavor. The sweetness is not that strong, with a slight sweetness and acidity that lasts for a long time, followed by the minerality that is typical of hard water. Naturally, it has a light aftertaste and is, well, dense! 4.75

It has a soft taste with a firm sweet and umami flavor, but it is much lighter than other Toyobai jungin. The umami taste lingers in the aftertaste, but it disappears gently and is not heavy at all. The overall quality of the sake is quite beautiful, as is typical of the Shizukutori variety. The aroma is peachy. There is no label on the bottle, but some people on social networking sites say it is a pure sake, but I wonder if that is true. There is a very slight sense of effervescence. 4.75 I want to drink Nakano's Bikini Musume next season!

It has a modern sweetness typical of Miyakanbai, but also has a well-balanced flavor typical of autumn sake. However, it has a light sweet taste. The overall impression is refreshingly sour and fruity, with a light and refreshing taste from the first sip to the last. If anything, it is a fresh hiyaoroshi. 4.50

While it has the freshness of a nama-shu, the sweetness is quite strong on the palate. Combined with the umami, the fullness typical of Omachi is well expressed. The aftertaste, however, is not heavy and light. The mild acidity also serves as an accent, supporting the overall balance. However, I think I have seen FLYING BIRD at a certain sacred place, but is it no longer limited to restaurants? 4.25

I'm not sure if I've ever had a ginjo Icchorai, but this must be my first jungin! Neither light nor mellow, a beautiful dry sake in between. It has a strong umami flavor, but it is not heavy. It is also light with acidity. A little sweetness appears in the back of the mouth, but the umami is pleasant throughout. 4.25

The back end of the mouth has a delicious flavor for a red wine, but the acidity is strong from the beginning to the end. It is a light-bodied wine that you would like to drink in midsummer if you want. But it has a nice thick aftertaste. The taste is a little citrusy, but in the end it's just a little bit of rummy, and Akabu tastes like Akabu. 4.50

The first autumn sake of the season Light on the palate The taste is full and mellow sweetness typical of Yamadanishiki. The flavor has a hint of hiyaoroshi, or "cold sake" flavor. The mild acidity lingers from the mid-palate to the back of the mouth. This hiyaoroshi is just right for this lingering summer heat! 4.75

(Right photo) For a sake like Amefall, which is known for having a clear concept for each sake, I am not sure what kind of concept it is. First, there is a rice-like umami, followed by a slightly strong tropical fruit-like acidity, with a little lactic acidity (typical of mizu-hashiroshi) coming later... The sweetness is quite low, and the acidity disappears in the aftertaste, leaving only the umami typical of mellow, dry sake. Hmmm... I wonder if it's a bit raw... 3.25

First Jyushiyo here. Very mild aroma. In contrast, the taste has a pineapple-like mouthfeel with a hint of hana-hyo-yaki, with a good balance of sweet and sour flavors. The umami almost disappears with the sweetness and acidity before it appears. Beautifully balanced, but not too much so. I like Shinshu Kamerei better if it's from the same family. Maybe it's not good to start with Ginsen. If I were to give it an absolute rating, I would give it 5.00, 4.75

家飲み部

Slightly fruity, typical of Shinshu Kamerei. The aroma is reminiscent of apple and muscat, but the taste is clearer and more beautiful than Miyamanishiki (perhaps due to the difference in the raw hi-ire). On the other hand, it is more floral than Hitogokochi, and has a little more acidity, but of course the balance of sweet and sour is very good! The finish is crisp, with a bit of bitterness and a beautiful tightness. 5.00
