I went back to my father's parents' house in Ise. I asked him if he could buy some Jijima for me, and he bought a bottle for me. By the way, people tend to misunderstand that it's easy to get it in Mie, but people in the prefecture don't know about Jijima. (Even my parents don't know about it). There is only one shop in the prefecture that specializes in this product, so it's difficult to get it. Now, the first aroma is full of green apples. When you put it in your mouth, you can feel some gas because it is raw. The sweetness is there, but it's not so sweet that it's strong. It was too luxurious to accompany Matsuzaka beef sukiyaki.

This sake is limited to 800 bottles nationwide and comes in a wonderful sake glass set custom made by Sugawara Glass. I usually drink only in Riedel glasses and avoid even Guchinomi and Ochoko, but when it comes to glasses of this size, I suddenly became interested and pre-ordered. The price is high at about 11,000 yen including tax, but the price of the glasses is actually quite reasonable, and the sake is brewed in a very interesting way for being treated as an extra, so I opened the package. The water color is clear and clean. The stem of the glass looks like it's bubbling because it was inspired by the gaseous feeling of Kankiku. There is a little foam on the stem. It has a strong melon aroma that is typical of Kanchiku. When you put it in your mouth, it stimulates your mouth with the gas feeling and the light melon sweetness rushes to the back of your throat like a laser beam, and it disappears leaving a little bit of sourness and light melon aroma at the back of your throat. It has a refreshing aftertaste, so it's good for resetting your palate. But I've never seen a sake like this before. Is this the kind of ups and downs you get when you cross polished Yamadanishiki with Aizan? It has such an interesting taste. It is a little lacking in taste, but...

I've attended Namafest two days in a row, so I'll apologize ahead of time for the fact that there may be more posts about that in the future. By the way, I'm not very satisfied with the event itself. It was a good experience to be able to drink some special sake, but it was a very stressful festival, with high prices, a small number of tastings, and poor arrangements. Well, we had the main drink of the festival, Dizan Noel, first. The water color is a cloudy white. It has a gorgeous sourness that is typical of Shinsei, but nothing particularly new. It also has a hint of green apple and pear. When you put it in your mouth, the sweetness and sourness of a green apple come quickly. The aftertaste is a little sour and astringent, but the taste is monotonous. It is a sparkling wine, so it is like a sweet cider. It's like a sweet cider. I'm not sure if it's necessary to go this far with sake. It's a bit of a let down. If you ask me if I want to keep drinking it, I'd say not really. The packaging is more stylish than the etiquette, but if you're going to pay almost 6,000 yen for this, you might as well just buy sparkling wine.

This is the Betsuraue Zissho that I've been keeping for a long time. In fact, it is not Junmai, but Daiginjo. It's a 5,500 yen honjozo (35% polished rice) made with lavishly polished Yamada Nishiki from Hyogo's special A district. Actually, I noticed it after I bought it. It's not pure rice, and it costs 5,500 yen? Are you serious? The color of the water is a little yellow. The aroma is full of melon nuance. However, it is not overdone and has a good elegance. It is nicely integrated. When you put it in your mouth, you will feel the concentrated flavor of the rice pouring down on your taste buds like an incendiary bomb, and then you will feel the alcohol nicely in the aftertaste, with a little bitterness and a cute acidity, so it is not just a sweet sake. The sweetness is followed by astringency, so it comes together nicely. You can tell that it is not pure rice. It has what is called "sharpness". The depth of this sake is amazing. Because the sake rice used is different, the taste is different from the Gold Phoenix in the same price range. It is a special sake that Hououmita exhibits at the National New Sake Competition, and it is a gem that can express the gorgeousness of Hououmita brilliantly. However, I personally prefer Gold Phoenix.

Yesterday, when I went to Utsunomiya where I lived before because of an errand, I bought it at a certain store. It seemed to be able to buy many bottles, but here is only one. The color of the water is just a little yellow. The aroma is gorgeous and it seems to be a yeast No.6. It has a green apple feeling like Shinsei. When you put it in your mouth, you can feel a little gas and a little woodiness from the wooden bucket brewing. There is an orange-like acidity, but the flavor of the rice also spreads softly and moistly. Is it the improved Shinko that makes this so? The aftertaste is refreshing, and it goes down easy. I think I like this one the best out of all the Colors I've had. (I haven't had the Ecru yet, but I have another bottle in the fridge...) I'll buy it as soon as I find it. (I haven't had the Ecru yet, but I have a bottle in the fridge...) I'll buy it as soon as I find it.

Now, I'm looking forward to seeing how much I can drink at the Shinsei Namahage festival this weekend.

Speaking of Kafuda, I had my first bottle of Dewa Sanzu at a sake bar in Fukuoka, and I still remember how sweet and delicious it was. My favorite liquor store started selling it, so I bought my first bottle. The aroma is a little bit bitter and alcoholic, but it smells like green apples and green melons. High expectations. The water color is clear and clean. A little sourness comes in the mouth, but soon the melon-like sweetness spreads, and then the whole taste is rounded up as if to turn them over, and the sourness remains on the tongue a little. The aftertaste and lingering aftertaste disappears in a swoosh, leaving the mouth feeling refreshed. It has a completely different atmosphere from Dewa Tsannzu or Nama-shu. It has a sweetness, but it is also light and refreshing, and it shows a glimpse of Kamonishiki's ability as a brewery. This is a very good sake for a meal. It matches well with oily dishes such as Chinese food. It overturned the notion that katsufuda means only sweet sake. I hope to see more variety from the brewery in the future.

I got into the spirit of things and took a picture with the Leica Q2. I'm embarrassed to admit that I've never had Hananoka Sake Brewery's sake, but I've been looking forward to it because of the great PR at my favorite liquor store. It was released today, so I rushed to buy it. The paisley-like geometric pattern on the etiquette gives it an unknown feel. The moment I peeled off the sticker and applied a little force to the large head of the sake lid, the lid flew open like a champagne bottle, and smoke of flavor silently rose from my mouth. A little bit of cork and a cloudy water color. Small bubbles live on the inside of the glass. The aroma is fruity, like pears, with a hint of calpis from the natural yeast. At this point, I was convinced that this was a delicious sake. In the mouth, fresh gas stimulates the oral cavity in a good rhythm. This is not a sparkling sake! After that, a slight bitterness and a refined sweetness rush in and then pass away. Yes, it tastes exactly like a pear. Or rather, it is the very nuance of a pear itself. It's right up my alley. This is too good to be true. It's so good that it's going to be hard to find. I'm honored to be there on the birthday of my favorite sake.

First Hirotogawa. I found it at a liquor store I've been going to recently, so I finally bought it. At this time of the year when "Usu-nigori" is a hot topic, I dared to buy Junmai Ginjo. The water color is beautiful and clear. There is no yellowish feeling. The aroma is banana after a long time. It is the vinegar iso. Faint gas feeling in the mouth. The aroma and taste of fruity banana spreads nicely in the mouth and passes through easily. The inky feeling, or alcohol feeling, can be felt moistly. The aftertaste is rough, with a slight sweetness like a fallen goose lingering on the tongue, and the alcohol feeling makes it sharp. It's delicious on its own, but it's a little light on the palate, so it's not quite enough. It is suitable for sipping. The price was around 2,000 yen, but it was a safe and tasty drink, so it may not be interesting. I'm looking forward to the release of the sake I have reserved tomorrow. I'm not sure if it's my good luck or bad luck (wallet-wise) that I'm into sake at this time of year, but I have to be thankful for it.

It's a repeat, so I won't say much about it. In fact, this may be my first repeat of a sake. It has a tropical taste, a sweetness, a smooth throat, and a solid body with a high mineral content. This is a high level for 2200 yen. I've been drinking sake since November, and Kankiku never ceases to amaze me.

From a friend's wedding, I was enjoying champagne in a 2.4 million yen a night room and before I knew it, it was Tuesday. I also drank some sake, but forgot to post it. So, here's the rumored sake. The rice polishing ratio is 90%, and the sake rice is not sake brewing rice, but rice. The sake rice is not rice suitable for sake brewing, but rice. It is said that sake that has been aged for a week or two has a better flavor than sake that has just been opened. Geeks write the opening date on the etiquette and store several bottles at different dates to compare them. The color of the water is a deep yellow. It's been a long time since I've seen sake with this color. The aroma is like a ripe persimmon. When you hold it in your mouth, the highly viscous liquid sticks to the inside of your mouth and gives off a sweet aroma. Rather than an apple or a melon, it is more like a persimmon as the aroma suggests. The aftertaste is a little sour, and I feel like I'm eating more fruit. However, the sweetness is stronger than I imagined, and rather than gulping it down, it's more like a whiskey. They want you to drink it like you eat rice, so I'll have it with a side dish next time.

I've been drinking a four-pack almost every day, so I figured I should take care of my body, so I took a three-day break. Just when I thought I didn't have to drink for a week, I decided to take a break from Black Phoenix. It's only 2,200 yen and it's a junmai ginjo made from Aizan, so I couldn't help but buy it when I saw the gorgeous phoenix flapping its wings on the etiquette. The water color is rather transparent but slightly yellow. The ageing is a little high. The initial aroma is of ripe melon. You can tell by the aroma, this is a good one. When you put it in your mouth, you can feel the beautiful and sweet melon rolling on your tongue. I don't like to use the word, but juicy is the perfect word. When you swallow it, you get a little bit of acidity and bitterness, but it's not just a simple sweetness. I think it is a representative brand that expresses the character of Hououmida. I want to keep this kind of secretary in my right hand. It is similar to the Riesling that I picked up when I was studying in Germany because I wanted to drink sake. It made me strongly recognize that Hououmita x Aizan is an important position for me.

This time, it is Gold Phoenix, which is the most expensive brand of Hououmita. 5500 yen, and in the same price range, it is equal to Hououmita Betsuraue Tsushiko and White Phoenix (approximate calculation based on the price of a 4-gallon bottle). It is made by polishing Aizan to 45% and taking drops. The bottle used is a spumante bottle made by Monterossa in Italy, which is quite gorgeous. The water color is transparent. There is almost no turbidity. The aroma is very sweet. Amazing. It smells like a mangosteen or a muscat. It also has a bit of a green mango feel to it. When you put it in your mouth, the fruity sweetness of the rice quickly seeps into your tongue, and although it is tangy for a moment, it is quickly absorbed into your throat. What the heck is this, what a delicious sake! The cool feeling after it goes down your throat. The ultimate in juiciness, as if you've been given the finest water. The aftertaste is fresh like a pear. It feels easy to match with meals. The single item is also luxurious. I heard a rumor that it goes well with red bean paste sweets, so I tried it with Hakata dorimon (my favorite confectionary in Japan), which I just had on hand. They are not in conflict with each other, they are in harmony. It caused an inflation of flavor and filled my mouth with happiness. A dangerous combination.

In fact, the first sake I bought at a liquor store when I first got into sake was from Kankiku Meijo. So I have a lot of feelings for it, and when this brand was released at the end of the year, I bought it right away! The name of the sake is "Thank you" (39), which means "Thank you for one year", and the Omachi is also a luxurious 39% polished rice. Don't underestimate it as a "story". The color of the water is slightly yellow. The color of the water is slightly yellow, but it is clear without any sense of discomfort. The aroma on the rise is like a muskmelon. It is a so-called vinegared iso-kin. When you put it in your mouth, you can feel a little gas. Since Kankiku is brewed with hard water with a lot of minerals, the gas comes out easily and I like it a lot. A bomb of sweetness with a bit of sourness spreads in your mouth at once. It's so good! In the aftertaste, you can feel the gas and minerals, and the deliciousness is enhanced. 39% polishing, so the complexity of Omachi? The complexity of Omachi doesn't come out as much as it should, but the nuances can be felt. I think it's because it's an Omachi that it has this quality. If this were sold regularly, I would add it to my stock. It's only 2,200 yen, so if it were less than 2,000 yen, it would definitely be a winner. It's the kind of sake that will make even a debutant of Sanguiku understand the quality of Sanguiku. If you find it, please buy it.

I bought a bottle of Lapis that had been aged for a year and a half at the brewery and a year at the liquor store. In fact, I wanted to buy the one which is not aged, but it is not easy to get Lapis. (Because Lapis will not be sold from next year.) The light blue is only a little yellow. But it is almost transparent and beautiful. The aroma on the top of the bottle is a fresh green apple that is typical of Shinsei, but you can also feel the thickness. In the mouth, even though it's been two and a half years since it was matured, you can feel a sense of gas because of the strong acidity. Thanks to this, the freshness continues all the time, and it cleanses the inside of the mouth. This is a sake for eating. In fact, this is the sake that got me hooked on sake, and I had it with the best sushi at the time, so I have that image in mind. My image of sake completely changed when I drank Shinsei in October, and since November I've been drinking a lot of different kinds of sake, so I honestly feel that there's no need to stick with Shinsei Lapis. Because there are many other good sake.... I think Cosmos is definitely stronger in terms of umami than any other Shinsei. It's good to know that I've grown as a person. However, it still tastes like a Shinsei, so I think it has a great sense of uniqueness. It tastes different from Yukino Bijin, which uses the same 6-gou yeast...

The sake junkie lady from the other day told me about a place where you can drink in the morning, so I went there right away. It's located in a market, so the seafood rice bowl is pretty tasty, and you can get it pretty cheap, but the sake is 440 yen per glass, including tax. I was impressed. We also chose Wakaha, which we hadn't had yet even though we were in Fukuoka. The water color was yellowish. The water color is yellowish, and it has a thick feeling. The initial aroma was a refreshing melon. When you put it in your mouth, a youthful taste like a refreshing Riesling comes to you quickly, and the sweetness is strong, but the acidity is also strong, so it doesn't feel stagnant. It is a wave of flavors and a wave of aftertaste. It has a strong melon nuance, so it is more like a wine to be sipped while eating. Even so, the pairing with Fukuoka's Kaisen-don (seafood rice bowl) is irresistible, and even though I was born in the Heisei era, I want to say it like a Showa era announcer. I used to drink beer at the airport lounge, but now that I know there's good sake waiting for me back home, I don't need to drink it. I'll just drink a few cups of tea until my flight.

I'm on a trip to Kyushu as I have to take a week off under the company's system. Today, while I'm settling in Hakata after starting in Yufuin, I'm in Fukuoka for the first time and I found the Mugen Tenkyo I wanted to drink at the liquor store, so I ignored the Tanaka Rokugo and Wakanami and bought it. (Actually, I had already experienced Tanaka at an Izakaya yesterday.) The color of the water is a little yellow and a little cloudy. The aroma is melon-like, but not that strong, and you can still read the alcohol. When you put it in your mouth, the acidity stimulates your mouth first, and then the fruity sweetness spreads quickly, and the acidity tightens up again. You can feel the melon taste from the aroma, but the tingling of the acid is so strong that the taste is a little unsettling. The aftertaste is rather persistent and can be felt in the back of the throat, probably because the acidity is strong. The flavor of the rice has been brought out to a great extent, but the impression is that it is not so much a sweet flavor as a slightly sweet flavor. If you continue to sip it, you will be surprised. The yogurt feeling comes out, and I can gulp more! Actually, it seems to go well with food. Thanks to the sourness.

My first Yukino Bijin. Akita Jozo brews it on the first floor of an apartment building just a 5 minute walk from Shinsei Shuzo. This sake was brewed with the 6-gou yeast from Shinsei. This is the first time for me to try Aizan. By the way, this is my first time to try Aizan. The color of the water is slightly yellow, but rather clear. The viscosity is a little strong. The aroma is banana-like and you can feel the alcohol. But it's not sharp, it smells like it's been rounded up and wrapped up. When you put it in your mouth, a wave of flavor comes in with a zing. This is the first time for me to taste Aizan, but this is delicious...! Aizan is something to be feared. And the way the flavor rides and the way the aroma spreads in the nostrils is just like Shinsei. I was reminded that this is the power of the 6-pack yeast. If you drink it continuously, you can feel a little bit of gas. Just by changing the way you drink it, the sourness becomes a little more prominent. It's delicious.

I've been hooked on Hououmita since I got the Nikko Yume-Sasara. This time, I bought the first Shibori. The water color is yellowish. The aroma is refreshing, with a hint of white grapes, but it also seems a little viscous. When you put it in your mouth, you can feel a light gassy feeling, but after that, the oriental flavor like longan overflows. The aftertaste is a little bitter. Well, lychee and longan are similar, but I personally prefer longan, so I guess I felt that way. It is a sake that you would like to taste on its own rather than while eating. Happy from the morning.

The color of the water is more transparent. The aroma is ⇛banana. When you put it in your mouth, the water with a gentle banana aroma reaches your throat easily. It gives the impression of very clean water. It's very easy to drink, but at first there's a strong alcoholic taste, which I'm sure some people don't like. But after a couple of days, it mellows out and I think I'm going to fall in love with it. Well, it's delicious. However, if you drink it by itself, it will be assertive and bother some people, but if you drink it with Japanese food, it might be good.
