From Kikusui Shuzo, Niigata Prefecture... Kikusui Nigorizake (Gorohachi) The label has been completely renewed this season! Gorohachi" is a white, cloudy sake with a bold yet somewhat simple flavor that lets you taste the whole flavor of the rice. The rice is grainy and the taste is rich and full! The mouthfeel is gentle, and the mellow flavor slowly permeates the body. Because of its mild taste and mildness, it has many female fans, but be careful not to drink too much, as it has an alcohol content of "21 degrees". If you think it is a little too strong, or if you are a woman, we recommend drinking it on the rocks or with milk! It goes well with pot dishes using seasonal ingredients, as well as with strong flavored and spicy dishes. The best combination is "Kimchi nabe + Gorohachi" ‼︎ Another easy and recommended combination is "kimchi with cream cheese" ‼︎ Ingredients・・・・・ 100% Niigata rice Polishing ratio・・・・70 Sake degree・・・・-19 (full-bodied sweet) Alcohol content・21度

From Kinryo Nishino in Kagawa Prefecture... Kinryo Chitose Midori Tokubetsu Junmai Genshu Kinryo" has its roots in indigo. During the Edo period, Kaemon Nishino, the 15th generation, spread the beauty of indigo dyeing throughout Japan. The traditional colors of Japan, including indigo, are full of the unique culture and natural beauty of the four seasons. We would like to pass on the traditions that have been handed down from generation to generation. With this in mind, Kinryo sake has a series of labels decorated with traditional Japanese colors (crimson, chitose green, moon white, and dark indigo). The October issue is the "Chitose-green" sake ver! Deep green like the green of pine leaves. This is a special junmai sake brewed with "Oceto" from Kagawa Prefecture, polished to 58%! The aroma is mild and slightly matured. Smooth on the palate, with a strong sense of umami that is typical of "Oceto" (**I understand`*). The mildness of the sake is well matured like the aroma, and while you can feel the strength of the original sake, the pleasant acidity and astringency with a full-bodied yet umami taste makes it go down your throat clean and clear. It is also good when cooled or lukewarmly heated. Rice: ・・・・ 100% Ooseto from Kagawa Prefecture Rice polishing ratio・・・58%. Alcohol content: 17 to 18 degrees Celsius

From Hyogo Prefecture [Tomikunishiki Co. Junsei Short-stalked Boat, Junmai, Wooden Oke Brewing R4BY Wooden bucket brewing requires a lot of time and effort for maintenance and quality control of the sake brewing process! This sake is brewed in such wooden vats using contract-cultivated, super-soft sake rice called "Short-stalked Watabune (Watabune No. 2)" produced in Kasai City, Hyogo Prefecture, and soft water nurtured by the topography of Banshu, using the "Namo Hashiwazukuri" method, which has been handed down since the Edo period, to "nurture lactic acid bacteria that live in the brewery and brew"! This is a junmai sake brewed in the "ikuhashi-zukuri" method! This is a sake that can only be made with today's "Fukyu-Nishiki". Some people may get the impression that the aroma is strong like that of sake made in a barrel, but it is not a new barrel, so you can only feel the gentle texture of the sake. The impression is sharp, crisp, and dry, with a full-bodied calmness and concentrated rice flavor, perhaps due to the wooden vat brewing process! It is well-balanced with a pleasantly light acidity, and can be enjoyed chilled, at room temperature, or warmed, making it perfect as a mealtime sake. Rice - Watafune No. 2 from Kasai City Rice polishing ratio: 60 Sake degree: +9.0 (very dry) Acidity: ・・・・1.7 Alcohol content: 16%.

Yamatan Masamune Junmai-shu Hiyoroshi This season's Hiyaoroshi is a junmai-shu brewed with 100% rice (edible rice) from Ehime Prefecture polished to 60% and brewed using the "mizu-hashiroshi method"! Mizu-Hashiwake Brewing = A brewing method established in the Muromachi period (1336-1573), in which raw rice and steamed rice are soaked in water to produce "soya water" in which lactic acid bacteria are propagated, and this water is used as the brewing water to make the sake mother. The aroma of rice is mild and has a good sense of maturity. The smooth mouthfeel is typical of "Yamatan Masamune," and while it still retains some freshness, you can sense a sense of mild maturity after a summer's drinking. At first, it gives the impression of being dry and refreshing, but as you drink more and more, you can sense the complex umami and acidity that only mizu-hashimoto can provide. It is easy to drink when chilled, but as the temperature rises, the deep umami spreads and becomes more and more intense...especially when warmed to lukewarm.... Personally, I prefer it to be drunk the next day or the day after the opening of the bottle, as it has a fuller flavor. I'm looking forward to seeing how it will mature when the autumn season deepens!
