KAGOYA (籠屋 仙川店)

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

AKABU琥珀純米吟醸

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

(Left photo) Gentle and refreshing on the palate, but the spreading gorgeousness, sweetness in the mid-palate, and umami in the back palate are all just right. Challenging as rainfall! It is rare to find a sake that sharpens the senses to such a degree. 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

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

Mellow, sweet taste that spreads sweetness. The fruity taste is more refreshing than floral. The finish is light and refreshing, despite the sweetness and flavor intensity of the first half of the bottle. 4.50

KAGOYA (籠屋 仙川店)

The aroma is very typical of Japanese sake. Compared to the two Hana-Shoimi varieties I drank before, it is much lighter and has a beautiful sweetness. Then a slight acidity, until the aftertaste. It has some umami from the mid-palate, and is well balanced, but not very distinctive. The price is reasonable. 4.00

The refreshing citrusy mouthfeel is followed by a firm sweet sweet and sour like sweet lemonade. The aftertaste is sweet and delicious with a melon-like melon sensation. Mineral taste, also vegetable-like... 4.00

It has a mellow, banana-like mouthfeel that is typical of Collage. It's a bit of a shame, because it has a nice sweetness to it. It's a bit of a shame, because the middle part of the bottle is very typical of the future of sake. As the temperature rises, the sweetness from the mid-palate is well blended with the sweetness from the mid-palate. Overall satisfaction is high, but... I prefer Aizan and Yamadanishiki! 4.25

Beautiful aroma reminiscent of Muscat and apple, and sweet and sour taste. It is not a strong sake, but rather a beautiful sake, which is not typical of Omachi. However, the richness of the aftertaste is due to the omachi. It has no heaviness at all, and is quite likeable, cost-effective, and highly satisfying! 4.75

Fresh mouthfeel, with a sourness that is typical of summer sake. A little sweetness in the mid-palate, with a more robust umami, which I feel is a good representation of the concept of being between summer and autumn sake. The aftertaste is quite alcoholic, but the flavor is very sharp. 4.75

Quite juicy, mellow and sweet. It leaves a heavy aftertaste. The acidity is less than I expected, and I think it is heavy for a summer sake. However, the mild umami and richness that is typical of rice is deeply impressive, and is typical of Shirakiku from Okunoto. 4.00

A simple, refreshing taste typical of summer sake. It has a moderate sweetness and a refreshing acidity, but the umami in the back end is a little strong for drinking on a hot day. 4.00

The aroma is mellow and evokes a beautiful sweetness. In the mouth, the first touch is sweet, then it fades away and the aroma of cedar is in the air, followed by a little acidity. The back palate has a gradual umami flavor, and the wooden vat feeling lingers for a long time, making it very pleasant. The taste is not that flashy, but the lingering impression is on a different level. It was so good that I bought some for drinking at home! 5.00

Firm sweetness It is full of a very gorgeous sweetness that can be found in tropical fruits such as pineapple and berries such as strawberries. Mild acidity comes in afterwards, and it brings the whole thing together nicely. It is a wonder that such sweetness does not leave a heavy aftertaste. It has a nice sharpness, so it is good as a food sake, but personally, I prefer to enjoy it by itself. 4.75

The most refreshing and fruity Omachi sake I have ever tasted. It has a gorgeous sweet flavor, but it is not too light, and has a very high level of flavor with a good balance. The umami has the fullness typical of Omachi, but it is not heavy and the aftertaste is rather light. The good parts of Yumachi are well hidden and the bad parts of Yumachi are pushed out. If Kagoya didn't carry Amabuki, I might never have drunk it. This is quite good. 5.00

Light young fruity sweet and sour flavor. Not too assertive, but very pleasant sake that leaves a strong impression of beautiful sweetness and mildly lingering acidity. Not too fresh, well balanced and very tasty! 4.50
