Soku夏純米7号かすみ酒純米

KAGOYA (籠屋 仙川店)

Summer sake with a strong umami flavor The aftertaste is light, but from the beginning to the middle of the bottle, it is so full of umami that it feels quite heavy for a summer sake. The sweetness spreads and tastes better at room temperature. 4.00

Yum! It's the first time in a long time that I've been so impressed with the taste! From the aroma that wafts through the air when the bottle is first opened, it's amazing! The fruity aroma of citrus fruits and tropical fruits wafts through the nose, and what remains on the tongue is the fresh, chiri-chiri-yaki sensation that is typical of nama-shu (unpasteurized sake). The taste is soft and beautifully sweet, and while it expands greatly, after swallowing it, the taste is fleeting and crisp. I get the impression that the sweetness is better balanced with the overall flavor than Denshogiku or Aizan, and everything about it is beautiful! This is a definite repeat for next season! It's been a while since I've had a Kanjiku, but I'm going to try a few more! 5.00

Distinctive taste, not the freshness and lightness of a summer liquor like Jade or SEA, which is like a rummy summer liquor, but a gentle sourness on the palate, followed by a sweet flavor with depth. The citrusy acidity is impressive and good for an akabu. 4.50

It has a sweet taste like Abe's, but it is less sweet than Abe's, and the sweetness and acidity are well balanced. It has a lighter and gentler impression than Blue (although Blue has a more refreshing (summery) taste). It is a little different from the quality of sake I expect from Abe. 4.00

Fruity, light and sweet like Fukushima sake The body is lighter than Collage in general But it has a long sweet aftertaste. It's a beautiful and stable sake, but it's not very special. To be honest, the Honjozo of Masamune is enough for me... 4.25

Fruity and beautiful aroma A perfectly balanced sake with a pleasant sweetness and acidity that is expressed in a light body, just like a food sake. The sweetness is a little stronger than the Jungin Hitogokotchi, which was quite refreshing. It is different from the juicy taste of Miyamanishiki, including acidity and umami. I can only say that this is a great sake for 1,400 yen plus tax nowadays! Next time, I'll buy a bottle (if I can afford it). 5.00

No bitterness. But it has a mellow sweet taste and a pineapple flavor that is typical of Kahanayo. Compared to Yamadanishiki, the sweetness is much more subdued, while the umami lingers on. It is not bad, but I prefer Yamadanishiki which has a better balance of sweetness and umami. I prefer it to Omachi. 5.00

The appearance may be mellow and sweet, but it is still an amai! Syrupy sweetness The aftertaste is not too heavy, but it does not have a summery sake feel to it. I'd rather drink this sake when it gets a little chilly. 4.00

Very refreshing and fruity sake It has no harsh taste at all, and it goes in and out quickly, yet it has this fruity taste! It's just as well that it's promoted so prominently in the holy land! More of a food sake than a stand-alone sake. 4.50

(Left photo) More fruity and sour than Urakasestyle This one has more impact. However, the aftertaste is not as strong as the impact, and there is a slight sweet and sour aftertaste, but it finishes nicely. The sweetness of Urakasumi is surprisingly stronger than Urakasumi. I think I prefer Hakurakusei though. 4.25

(Right photo) Generally, this sake is like water, but with a mild sweetness and flavor. Rather than being a refreshing sake, as one might expect from Urakasumi, it is more of an assembly of flavors that can be enjoyed on its own. Sweet and delicious with a firm body on the back end. This sweet/tart taste is also common with Hakurakusei style. 4.00

Floral but mellow aroma with a strong umami. Sweet and delicious as is typical of Shinshu Kamerei, but with a rich Yamadanishiki-like flavor that is distinctly different from other sake rice from Nagano. It is expressed without sacrificing any of the Shinshu Kamerei character. How light the aftertaste is! We would love to have a bottle at our house next year! 4.75 But what a luxurious day!

The acidity that I have felt in Shinmasa so far is quite restrained, giving the impression of beautiful sweetness. + Too clean to be considered a locally brewed sake, too good to be enjoyed alone as a food sake. (No, it can't be called a locally brewed sake with a rice polishing ratio of 30%, can it? However, I never thought I would be able to drink Sato Ubei at a time like this! 4.75

(Right photo) The yoghurt-like acidity typical of mizu-hashiroshi precedes the taste, and it is not as floral as expected for Aizan. It has more umami than Shunyo, and the aftertaste is also more typical of sake, but it is still a bit lacking for Aizan. I guess Amefall is basically a refreshing fruity type of sake. 4.25

(Left photo) Nigori sake with a fresh, muscat-like acidity. The mild sweetness that remains from start to finish enhances the lingering acidity that gradually disappears after the rather strong sourness at the entrance. A truly refreshing yet satisfying sake, good to drink during this hot season! Highly recommended! 4.75

(Left photo) Beautiful, gentle, fruity aroma and gentle taste, just like a high quality sake. Beautiful sweetness, and a smooth taste. As the temperature rises, a firm umami flavor also comes from the depths. But when I looked at the price, my eyeballs jumped out of my head! (Thank you for trying it at a reasonable price) 4.00

(Right photo) Sweet and juicy, but with Omachi-like richness and bitterness. Therefore, the pineapple flavor is less pronounced than Yamadanishiki. I personally rate it lower than Yamadanishiki because I don't like the Omachi-like feeling, but it still has no heaviness at all! The aftertaste is wonderful, with the bitterness giving it a sharp edge. 4.50

(Left photo) This wine also has an Akabu flavor, but it has a relatively gentle sweetness and a refreshing aftertaste. The accent is still on the acidity, which is calm but has a peachy feel. It is fresher than Aizan. I personally preferred Sake Mirai to Aizan. 4.50
