Sake-no-Wa review, the first to go? I think Yamada Nishiki and Effervescente were, too... I didn't pre-order this product, but I just bought it at my usual place. Now I have the complete set of the three Sandozis! At the moment it's Yamadanishiki ＞＞＞＞ Effervescente, so I'm hoping it will surpass Yamadanishiki. The color of the water is a light muddy yellow. The aroma on the rise is still pear. On the palate, it is not as gassy as the Yamadanishiki, but there is a sense of gas, and it is full of freshness. The same pear-like sweetness is still present as in the aroma, which I like very much. It is quite similar to the Yamadanishiki. But the aftertaste is a little different. It is not as sweet as the Yamada Nishiki, but rather the bitterness in the center of the pear has been increased. In short, the aftertaste was tighter than that of Yamadanishiki, and it was easier to match with meals. This is delicious.... It has more ups and downs than Yamadanishiki, which I like. Hommasu > Yamadanishiki > > Effervescente. Sorry, Effervescente. However, am I the only one who feels that the way it is priced is regrettable? If Yamadanishiki was priced at 1,650 yen and Homasu at 2,200 yen, it might be more likely to be chosen. Still, there is no doubt that it is outstandingly delicious in the same price range.

I took off the black thing on the lid, and was looking for the remote control to turn on the light, when suddenly, it shot !!!! And then suddenly, it shot up to the ceiling. Where did the lid go, I can't find it. The water color was clear. The water was clear and bubbly. The aroma is sweet, like apples and pears. When I put it in my mouth, it was so bubbly I thought it was carbonated juice, and I instantly recognized the flavor of this sake. It's a pear. As soon as I thought I was biting into a pear, the taste disappeared and only a slight astringency from swallowing the pear remained. It's so schmaltzy, you'd think it was a chewy drink. Hmmm... at this point, the Sando Yamadanishiki seems to be more well-rounded. This crispness is not bad, but it's a bit disappointing. I think it's better to let it sit for a couple of days to get a better sense of the flavor, so I decided to let it sit for a while. Day 2: The sizzle settled down and I could taste it, but the taste was a little lighter and the citrusy orange nuance was stronger. It's not so bad because it's lightly nigori but it's refreshing.

I bought it first thing in the morning at a famous liquor store. I bought a bottle for the first time. There were almost 30 people in line, though I guess they were all looking for this. It feels good to be the first in line. Yamaenishiki is a relatively new type of sake rice from Nagano. Many people said that this Shinshu Kameari was the best, so I was curious about it. I took it out of the refrigerator and let it sit for a while before opening the package. The color of the water is a little yellow. The initial aroma was of melon and berries. When I put it in my mouth, I felt a crackle of fresh gas. Just as I thought my mouth was filled with the rich flavor of rice, a melon-like sweet and sour bomb exploded! As you swallow, the sweetness, umami, and acidity come out in perfect unity, and the juicy melon and strawberry sensation occupies your mouth. And after finishing, a slight alcohol-derived astringency lingers on the tongue, making it astringent and refreshing. The sweetness remains, though. What the heck, this is really good.... It's sweet and juicy (I don't actually like that expression), but it's also very crisp... It was hard for me to buy a bottle, but many people said that they drank the whole bottle in an instant, so it was a good decision to choose a bottle. This is a great sake to have on hand. I would like to enjoy it on the second day and beyond, as well as how it changes with temperature.

I knew it was a rare brand, but I got it by chance, so I was excited. It's a small brewery in Niigata, and the specs are not disclosed. That's okay. I can't drink information. The color of the water is yellowish green. The initial aroma has a hint of muscat. When I swallowed it, I could smell the low acidity of apple and muscat, and only the elegant sugar-like sweetness remained on my tongue. The taste of wasanbon is a strange thing to say, but the mouthfeel also has the atmosphere of wasanbon sweets. In terms of sharpness, it is a little weak, but it is interesting that the sweetness can be expressed so beautifully. When acidity is added to this wine, the impression is that it will be a sweet white wine (like Mosel). The second day. Oh, it's starting to open up. A little bit of acidity came out, and I could see the white wine feeling. On the first day, the wine was very sweet, so it was better to leave it for a while.

The staff at Isego Honten recommended this to me. The etiquette is cute, and it's also the first sake from Saitama. The water color is clean and clear. The aroma on the nose is a thick melon aroma. In the mouth, a sweet liquid spreads, and a little bit of ramune, a cheap sweetness like sugar candy, goes through the nose. It's a little sweet and dull. It doesn't go well with sushi, of course, but it does go well with gari and other acidic foods. So, when I paired it with kimchi, it went well. The spiciness of the hemp and the sourness of the fermented food adjusts the parometer to the sweetness. It's sweet and easy for women to drink, but I don't think I would want to drink it by itself. The second day. The impression of sweetness doesn't change that much, but if you ask me if it's dull, the sourness is coming out and it's starting to look like a flax cat. I can easily drink it by itself, and I'm not getting tired of drinking it. You can also decant it. I'm not sure if this is a good idea, but I'd recommend it.

First time in Abe. I've always been curious about Kashiwazaki, Niigata, as I have some connection to the area. I tried the Regulus from the Star Series. There was also a raw version, but many people preferred the fire-roasted version, so I went with the fire-roasted version. The water color was slightly yellow. The initial aroma was citrusy, with a hint of grapefruit. In the mouth, what the heck is this? It's like a white wine with sweetness and acidity. It has a grapefruit taste that makes my mouth feel fresh and crisp. The low alcohol content also gave me the impression of a clean mouthfeel without carbonation, like a lemon sour. There is no complexity, the taste is monotonous and simple. The taste is simple and monotonous. I don't understand why people call it post-flax cat. It has a white wine feel, but it doesn't have the ups and downs of the flavor, like Monado, which has a nice sweet and sour flavor that brings out the flavor of the rice, and then astringency comes in. However, it may be the perfect sake for those who have just started drinking sake or for those who don't like to drink sake.

The first sake of the year from Kankiku, the company that helped fuel my sake boom last year, is here. Nagi, from the Ocean99 series. Probably the first Nagi review at Sake no Wa (in 2022). It is a lightly nigori unfiltered undiluted sake, which reminds me of Denshogiku from the specs. The water color is origarashi, which makes it look like freshly squeezed pear juice. The aroma on the rise is melon and pear. Very fresh. You can tell from the aroma alone that this is delicious. When I put it in my mouth, a pleasant carbonation crackles. It has a strong nuance of sweet and juicy pears, just like when I sipped on a bottle of Sando Yamadanishiki! The slight bittersweetness after it goes down your throat gives it an astringent quality, so you won't get tired of drinking it. I personally didn't like the last Ginkai that much, but this Nagi is the embodiment of a beehive of Denshogiku-like flavor and cost effectiveness. It is true that this sake would go well with wild vegetables and other dishes. I would like to try pairing it with spring ingredients and dishes that have a mixture of sweet and bitter. Shungiku is really strong.... Especially when it comes to Omachi, it's the best. It's a good match for Sando Yamadanishiki.

This is my standard Hououmita. Yamada Nishiki. It's a blend of sake from the first step of the shibori process, Ararunushi, and the last step of the shibori process, Oshikiri. The Nakadori Junmai Daiginjo is a good price, but this blended sake is a horrible child that costs less than 2,000 yen. The water color is clear. The aroma on the rise is a gorgeous apple, typical of Bida. On the palate, the round and gentle rice flavor comes in lumps. The sake is more beautiful than I imagined. The rice is polished to a very high level, so it is not surprising that there is almost no miscellaneous flavor. It's really clear. When you swallow it, there is a sharpness that comes from the high alcohol content, but it is not unpleasant. The aftertaste is also slightly sweet and not unpleasant, like after drinking only good rice. It's a good blend! Isn't the price of this beautiful sake under 2,000 yen too good to be true? But I guess it's because it's an honorable type of Hououmida, which has its own quirks. The more quirks, the more interesting it is, but it tends to be tiring to drink. However, this one makes me suddenly think, "I want to take it out of the refrigerator and drink it. It would be a relief to have a bottle on hand at all times, but it is difficult to do so because the production volume is so small. If you see it, please buy it and give it a try.

This was my first visit to the Juhachimori Sake Brewery. The fact that it's a sake brewery in Okayama is also a novelty for me. I've often heard of sake breweries where the rice is grown, but... I don't know enough about it. It was sold at the liquor store in my home town, and word of mouth said that it looked a little bit like Zijin, so I was curious and bought it. The liquor store also said that it was their top recommendation. It's a Junmai Daiginjo made with Asahi rice. The vivid etiquette and the green bottle are also very unique. The water color is clear. The aroma on the nose is quite fruity, with a rich green apple flavor. There is a hint of Jikin in the background. On the palate, there is just a hint of gas, and a thick, sweet apple nuance that sizzles on the palate. Anyway, the aroma is awesome! It goes down the throat smoothly and fills the mouth with fruity and juicy patterns, and the aftertaste fades away easily. The alcoholiness is almost imperceptible, yet it's rather sharp. The taste is clear, not hazy. It can be served with meals. It's been a while since I've hit the jackpot. I can't help but wonder if this is as good as Jikin. I really can't help but wonder if this is as good as Jikoma. No, there's no need to compare. It is quite delicious. My favorite. This is a definite repeat customer. It's only about 1,500 yen. The cost is so good that it's crazy (a compliment). If you see it, please give it a try.

This is a reprint of Kinuhikari, which was discontinued in 2017. This is also rice rice, not sake rice. The water color is clear with a slight topaz. The aroma on the nose is pear. When you put it in your mouth, you can feel the gas going around and around. This is a stable Kaze no Mori. I thought it would have a strong sweetness, but it turned out to have a round acidity and an unexpected astringency. I wondered if it was because it was rice, not sake, that it had this flavor, even though the rice was polished to 45%. This is a different nuance from Akitsuho. I think the fruity taste is suppressed, but the berry sweetness that is typical of Kaze no Mori pervades slowly. The impression is that the Akitsuho 657 has more complexity. It's not monotonous, so you won't get bored. I'll let it sit for a day.

Sparkling sake is almost always a minefield for me, so I don't really like it, but I had to try the Sando's Effervescente, which has been doing well in PR lately, so I pre-ordered it. The water color is yellowish. The aroma is of nuts, butter, and cheese. As a sparkling wine, the flavor is light. The sourness of the tangerine disappears and the sweetness hits you with a bang. The butter taste comes later. After that, a little bitterness remains in the finish. To be honest, I thought it was a bit expensive. But then, when I brought it back to room temperature, the taste became thicker and the excessive gas settled down. When it was too cold, the flavor flowed away with the fizziness, making it difficult to understand, but as the temperature got higher, the rich buttery flavor came through. Have you ever heard of BREAD & BUTTER, a white wine that was served at the lunch meeting of the US President? It has an amazing buttery aroma and taste. This is close to that. It's interesting to see how far the genre of sake can go. But I don't think I'll be repeating it. I was hoping for a level of perfection as high as that of Sando Yamadanishiki, but this is about as good as it gets. If you want to drink champagne, drink champagne, so you don't have to imitate me, I thought.

I bought it at a liquor store at the beginning of the year. The color of the water is slightly yellow. The aroma on the nose is a fresh green apple, typical of Shinsei. In the mouth, there is a fizzy feeling. After that, it is round and gentle, and the acidity is a little strong in terms of sweet and sour, so the nuance of young apples comes to the fore. The taste is unique to Shinsei. It makes me think that this is the only one of its kind. Yes, it is delicious. The aftertaste is clean as I imagined, and turns into grapefruit. The acidity is strong, but it's not angular, so it settles nicely. I can see why sparks are derived from this. I've conquered all of the Colors, and if you look at the minor differences, I like Aki-sakura, but I think Shinsei is Shinsei no matter how far it goes. (In a good way, of course). However, I'm starting to get bored and feel boring drinking only Shinsei, so I'm branching out to different kinds of sake. I'd be happy to hear your comments if you have any suggestions for the best sake 🕊️.

I found a fresh bottle of Edo Kaijo in a gift bag at a certain liquor store. I've heard that the raw version is hard to find, but I'd like to know more about it. The brewery is located in the heart of the city, near Tamachi. That means it's a Tokyo sake. So, how good can sake brewed in Tokyo be? I'm getting excited. The color of the water is a bit cloudy and whitish. The aroma on the rise is quite fruity! It smells like pears and bananas. Vinegar isotope. In the mouth, a fizzy feeling comes. Puchi-puchi. Fresh sake quality. The aroma lingers strongly on the palate, but the flavor and sweetness do not come through as much. It is as if you are drinking flavored tea. It may not have much body. At the end, there is a little bit of a cute bitterness. It's like drinking a beautiful pear drink. I wish it had a little more sweetness... But then my tongue remembered the taste of the Hououmida, so I reset the taste with some water. Then I could feel the sweetness! It's a rather refreshing yet beautiful sake. I was honestly impressed that a sake brewed in the heart of the city could do so well. You might be surprised if you try it for yourself. Just because it's made in Tokyo. And the quality of the sake. If you see it, please take a look.

The name is derived from Mr. Yoshi Fujita who established the organic cultivation method. This is the first time I've had a Hououmita since the "Betsuraue" supreme. I want to try the White Phoenix next.... I want it to be sold in 4-pack bottles, but it's not.... Now, the color of this product is a little yellow. The upfront aroma is a gorgeous pineapple nuance. When I put it in my mouth, a little bit of bitter melon comes to my mouth, but after that, the taste like a lump of deliciousness fills my mouth. At the end, the bitterness comes again a little, making it astringent. The soft atmosphere that touches the tongue is like a warm room that gets even warmer. This is one that would go well with Chinese food or sweet-and-sour pork. I knew Hououmita was delicious. I've heard that there is a Premium version of this, which is probably the most expensive Hououmita, but it's hard to find. If I see it, I'll buy it.

I was originally going to buy Tokachi at a certain liquor store in Tokyo, but they told me that there was a slightly rare Tokachi sake in the grab bag, so I bought it. I was told that Comet itself is not widely available, but especially the raw sake version is hard to find in Tokyo. I was excited to finally be able to drink sake from Hokkaido, using Comet, a local rice. I was excited. The aroma was fruity and melon-like. The color was clear and clean with almost no cloudiness. When I put it in my mouth, the complexity of the taste touched my tongue and I was scared. This is delicious...! First of all, the sweetness of the rice comes first, like a comet (not the sake rice), and fills the mouth with its aroma. After that, a cute bitterness comes and finishes the whole taste. The melon aroma and taste catches up with it. It is a wonderful sake. There is only a hint of gas. The acidity is well-balanced, and you can't help but keep drinking it. I think Tokachi's Junmai is also reasonably priced, so I'll buy it next time I see it. I'm also curious about the other sake from Kamikawa Daisetsu Brewery, so maybe I'll take a weekend trip to Hokkaido again... (I went to Hokkaido for 10 weekends last year...)

It is the unfiltered raw series of Impression. I'm going with M this time. The aroma is green apple and a little blue melon. There are small bubbles on the glass. When you put it in your mouth, you feel a super fresh petite texture. As for the flow of the taste, the sweetness of the rice comes first, and then the sourness and a little bitterness come on top of it. The taste itself is generally green apple. In the aftertaste, the sourness and bitterness continue to linger on the tongue. Delicious. And around 1700 for this deliciousness is too good a price! I'd like to try all of this Impression series. I didn't buy it because I wanted to drink it when I went back to my parents' house in Ise, but when I went back home at the end of the year and got some new sake, I was hooked. What a good sake brewery with a good price and good production! That's why this sake will be in my Hall of Fame. This sake brewery was chosen as the toast of the Ise-Shima Summit. My father's parents live in Mie, and I want to continue to support them. (Although I was born and raised in Singapore)

I bought it because it was recommended by my home liquor store. I feel it's good for the cost, about 3,000 yen, even though it's a high specification Yamada Nishiki polished to 35%. It is only in the specification. The aroma is calm lychee, melon, and alcohol in the back. When you put it in your mouth, it is petite. Fresh. A yogurt-like sourness spreads in the mouth, and the ups and downs of the flavor (sweet, slightly astringent) come with a pear nuance. The gasiness of the Yamadanishiki is suppressed and the taste does not spread to the end. It finishes elegantly. The aftertaste is calm and only a hint of sweetness remains. This is delicious. It's delicious! It's delicious, but I've drunk a lot of sake, and I feel that the cost of this flavor is not that great. It was polished up to 35, but the taste was not at the level I was expecting it to be. I wonder if it was too good of a product to compare. The etiquette is fashionable Washi, and it is one of the most expensive Senkou, so it may be good for answering questions.

Purchased in Toba. It's an interesting drink that has won a medal at an international wine competition. At first I didn't know how to open the cap, so I used a sommelier knife to turn it, but then I realized that I could just twist it normally. (Or rather, I couldn't open it because it was too hard even if I twisted it, so I forced it...) The aroma is white wine, like Eiswein, with a great white grape feel. There's a fruity note lurking in the back with just a hint of alcohol. The spread of the aroma is really amazing when you spin the glass. In the mouth, the sourness and bitterness come to the fore first, but then the rich rice aroma typical of sake spreads. It also has a banana-like flavor. The atmosphere is more like a white wine. When I was in Germany, I used to drink Riesling as a substitute when I had a craving for sake. I think this atmosphere can be called the wine of rice. It's not simply a sake made with wine yeast. To be honest, it's much better than a certain A-Masa. It's a little pricey, but it's the best sake you can get. Although the alcohol content should be high, the aftertaste is rather light, so it is easy to drink. The aftertaste doesn't get in the way, so it's easy to pair. I finished it in one day...

Happy New Year! Since my parents' house is near Ise Jingu Shrine, I went to the Morishita Sake Shop (Ise Jingu Store) at 3 o'clock in the morning. Even though it was early in the morning, they were having a corner bar. I tried to be in a good mood, but it's only been eight years since I could drink, so I had to restrain myself from smelling like an old man. What I got at the beginning of the new year was Jikin. I was already in the mood for the new year, and it was just delicious. I think the fruity taste was increased because it was fresh. So I'm going to drink it all the time...
