Bentenmusume生酛玉栄 H30BY 20番娘純米生酛
alt 1alt 2

寿梨庵
We were able to get some mackerel ripe sushi from Ota Sake Brewery, so we paired it with our stock of bentenmusume. First, cold... The nose has a standing aroma of brown sugar, rice wine, and tanned leather. On the palate, the acidity is quite strong and intense 😯. However, the mouthfeel is round and the aftertaste is gentle and quite dry. ⚡️ All the daughters are massive, but not that heavyweight 😊. With the recommended hot sake... 🍶. The aroma is like freshly cooked rice 🍚. It's still dry, but the sweetness and umami of the rice has increased and the acidity is still prominent, but more rounded. It's a warm sphere: ⚪️ It's like a flattened sphere becoming a sphere. With ripe vinegar 🐟. Dip it in plenty of rice... the sticky mackerel has a lot of flavor and waits for the sake! There's no reason why it can't go with it 😋.

寿梨庵
For some reason, I got off the Shinkansen at Takasaki and when I got out of the ticket gate, I found a souvenir shop called Iroha and dropped by. 🚶‍➡️ It's a big store with a lot of old and new Jyoshu souvenirs, including products from the Miyashi Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Shop ✨. There is a sake corner at the far end of the shop, and the selection is quite good. And in one corner, there is an automatic tasting machine with two types of Tsuchida that are only available at the store. It seems to be for a limited time only, and the price is 100 yen per glass. It seems to be sold in a different way than usual... The one we chose was an elaborate sake, Bodai-Hashiwado and Yamahai-Hashiwado, aged for 5 years, and quite expensive ✨. This is a pretty good deal 😆. It tastes exactly like Tsuchida, but less peculiar and smoother than the sake I've had so far 〰︎ It has a strong acidity, fruity and sweetness, but the body is rather light and refreshing 😌. Thank you for the drink!

OosakazukiART DECO 純米吟醸 NOUVEAU純米吟醸

寿梨庵
The naming of this drink is 🫨. The name is ART DECO, but the label has the word NOUVEAU in large letters💧. What, not Art Deco but Art Nouveau❔. I think NOUVEAU probably means new wine, but it's really confusing😅. The label is designed like an art deco sake cup... So where is the art deco expressed in this sake 🤔? Pear, cream-like aroma Fresh, fine effervescence, like a refreshing cream soda 🫧. This is rather NOUVEAU isn't it 😆. The punch of the new wine is understated and easy to drink 🙂 🙂. The finish is clean and cool ❔.

It is a valuable sake. As the label on the back says, the sake that survived the earthquake was unavoidably? As the label on the back says, this sake is made by blending sake that survived the earthquake. That is why it is called Honjozo+. When one thinks of its painful origins, one is reminded of the following... Although it is a honjozo (+ junmai), it has a ginjo-like aroma. It has a gentle sweetness like pineapple, and the mouthfeel is soft and refreshing like water. Yet it is rich in flavor and overflowing with gentle rice flavor. The body is soft and full. I took the liberty of imagining a different sake quality, but it caught me by surprise... It was a charming, lovely, and hopeful sake. ☺️

This is the only fresh-pressed version for this time of year✨. By the way, "Shiboritate" is my favorite word related to sake 😆. There was a milky lactic aroma when opened, but it calmed down and became a banana 🌿 with an herbal-like aroma that quickly passed through the nose. More fruity ❔ when fresh packed. But not much difference 🤔. Watery mouthfeel, no unpleasant taste. Mellowness and rice flavor as the temperature rises 🌾. The whole thing flows with a positive atmosphere typical of Shizuoka sake: ☀️ I paired it with red tuna, and it was still perfect👍! I can feel the taste of alcohol, but I can't say whether it is there or not 😤. I left it at the entrance, which is the coldest place this time of year🚪. It's nice to have one open after all! It's always a pleasure to have it there: ☺️

Good evening, Jurian. This sake was very good! I drank it on New Year's Day and finished it right away. I am planning to buy the next (next year's) Shiboritate.

寿梨庵
Thanks for your comment, Maruwa 😊. Of course the regular Honjozo is good, but the fresh-packaged version, which is only available at this time of year, has a special feel to it - I repeat it quite often👍.

寿梨庵
It is labeled as a sake for the competition and is a Junmai Daiginjo with 40% Yamadanishiki polished rice ✨. I put it down for a long time for a reason (I didn't think it was raw 💧). Once it cooled down... The standing aroma is faint. The aroma is like water, and the noble scent of the ginjo aroma appeals to the nose 💫. Ripe melon 🍈. But there is nothing showy or luxurious about it, it is rather tranquil and fine😌. It was 2022BY😥. But I couldn't detect any matured aroma, and I didn't feel any oldness, but rather freshness 😋.

It's my first time to land in Oita. Speaking of landing, I have a strong memory of landing❔ in a hovercraft from Oita Airport. ✈️ I heard it's gone now... 😢. A souvenir from a friend who traveled to Saiki. 3 deci🙇‍♂️ I make love to you classic I was a little concerned about the bran-like aroma, but when I sipped it, it had a nice ginjo aroma like Japanese pear ✨. It has a firm rice flavor and sweetness 🌾. It has a firm structure and is very Jungin-like 😋.

Good morning, Jurian 😃. Congratulations on your Oita embed㊗️🎉! Landing in a hovercraft is going to be memorable‼️ I wonder what the ride is like!

I bought the jackets without a second thought😍. This visual has several points that tickle my sake heart... I love the green bottle, the retro label (♡♡♡) and the "生" sticker 🟢. I don't think I've ever seen so many green bottles in one place. Cool and stylish✨ Only the shoulder label is not so good 😅. Uzumi is... Lactic acid drink on top, also smells like dead ferns 🌿. Quite bitter and dry lemon squash on the palate 🍋 cool and refreshing 😆. Mixed with... I felt fine particles, sweetness, bitterness, and other flavors 😋. Still dry, refreshing and easy to drink👍 I should have bought a square of this 😞. I want to go gulp it down with a glass: ⤴️ And I'd love to see a bottle of this visual ❕.

Shinomineうすにごり純米原酒生酒無濾過
alt 1alt 2

寿梨庵
It is my favorite Junmai Unfiltered Nama-shu from Shinomine! It has a faint lactic acid beverage on the top. It has a nice crispness and liveliness, but it has a slight effervescence 🫧. The aroma is like rumney, melon, banana, etc. 🍈. Good sharpness, but enough flavor. Fresh and pleasant to drink 😌. However, the lingering bitterness is quite strong and may not be to everyone's taste 🤔. My impression of Shinomine so far is a well balanced (in a very good way) and moderate sake✨. Casual but with a touch of hare 👍 This one has a slightly different flavor profile, but it's a nice, spunky, unpretentious sake 😋.
Japanese>English
ジェイ&ノビィ
Good evening, Jurian 😃. Shinomine! I bought the wrong Shigemasu 😅I've only had one bottle yet 🥲 but I'd like to try some Rokumaru too 😋.
Japanese>English
寿梨庵
Hi Jay & Nobby 😊 Shigemasu ❕It sure looks like it 😆. I think all Shinomine sakes (except the Daiginjo class) are very useful and suitable for both stand-alone and during meals 😋❕ Please give them a try ❕.

Ya-ya's cup sake corner I found it tucked away on a very bottom shelf 👀. I didn't recognize it and lovingly rescued it: ☺️ I don't think "Shiboritate" is a common name for freshly stored sake... It's fresh, but not too fresh. Flavors like peach and melon 🍑🍈. A little bit of seme flavor Flows beautifully like a daiginjo, with a sharp and bitter taste. Overall, I have the impression that it's a major flavor, but it has a local sake feel that I don't get much else ❔, which I think is pretty good 🤔.

寿梨庵
I drank Gunma Izumi the other day to celebrate Maebashi Ikuei's ⚽️ victory ㊗️🎉. Ota is a long way from Maebashi... I've had this sake every year in recent years since I was a student in Gunma ✨They specialize in Yamahai, but this one is a fast brew 🌾. I think it used to have more lees🤔. Koji, lactic acid, cream stew... and fruity aroma of apple, pear, etc. in it 🍏. Slightly effervescent, fresh, pear-like fruitiness. Good rice flavor, strong bitterness in the second half, alcoholic 😋. It's a crisp, wintery, windy taste: ❄️ I have felt in recent years that it is gentler or smoother to drink than before 😌.

This is a sake from a brewery in Fuchu that has been revived after 38 years ✨. When you open the bottle, the aroma of slightly sweet brown sugar and caramel rises up. There is also a banana aroma 🍌. The sweetness is light and the acidity stands out 😮. Finishes with a sharp, subtle astringency and bitterness. I can feel many elements, but they seem to be a bit inconsistent... It has a mixture of freshness and mature taste 🤔. I will try again in two days 🤲. The acidity is the same, but the flavors are more cohesive: ⤴️ The bitterness has increased and tightened up, and it has a clicky, jungin-like feel to it 😋.

Kubota百寿特別本醸造

寿梨庵
I remember when Kubota was born, Senju was a honjozo and Hyakusyu was a regular sake 🤔. Now Senju is Ginjo and Hyakusyu is Tokubon. After the Sanbai boom led by Kanbai, a major brand that has led Niigata's sake ⭐️ Just got a bottle of Hyakusyu... I hadn't had it in a while 😆. The entrée was homemade royal fern stew + simmered fu from Takano Supermarket @ my hometown, and the Uonuma kikkoshi pickles👍, a treat this time of year! Aroma of rice with a beautiful, uncluttered taste 🌾. It's a typical Niigata honjozo, but it has the perfect balance of sharpness and fullness, and it's also very drinkable 😋. It is a perfect balance of sharpness and fullness, yet it is also very drinkable 😋 It blends in like water when paired with local products like this 😌.
Japanese>English
ヒラッチョ
Kubota is a popular sake that has come of age, It has no peculiarities, and it is especially good with Japanese food. Homemade Zenmai-ni and Kuruma-fu are my favorites, too. It's a local delicacy👍.
Japanese>English
寿梨庵
Hiraccio, good evening 🌙 Hyakusyu was a special bottle. So it is now on par with my favorite Hakkaisan Tokubon 🤔... I felt it was more refreshing than before, but still has the characteristics of Kubota 😊.

Happy New Year to all of you in Sakewa 🎍. My first revue of the new year is a sake given to me by a colleague as a gift for my promotion: 🙇‍♂️ If you don't open it now, when will you open it😅 It's a very expensive sake in a paulownia box and has a special atmosphere 🌟. The aroma is slightly grapey 🍇❔. Slightly effervescent on the palate with discreet fruitiness like grape, orange and apricot. Flows nicely and smoothly like water, light bodied and crisp ⚔️ A lingering bitterness slowly and slowly rushes in 😌. Fresh, but at the same time, a hint of maturity... the acidity is moderate... I felt more "Niigata" than usual Abbey 🌾. I associate it with 🌾. There is a definite essence of Abé there 🙂. The theme is the ultimate Niigata food sake or ⁉️🤔

Happy New Year to you, Jurian🎍. I look forward to working with you again this year 🙇🙇 Congratulations on your promotion! Congratulations on your promotion 🎉. Beautiful bottle, looks so refreshing and delicious✨ Abe would love to try this sake someday 😊.

Happy New Year, Jurian 🌅New Year's greetings to you too🙇🏻🙇🏻‍♀️ The ultimate food sake that you can feel Niigata: ‼️Click here. It was recommended to me at a liquor store before, but when I heard the price 😨 I politely declined 😆 It was the one I should drink now 🤗.

Thank you, ma-ki, and I look forward to working with you again this year. 🙇‍♂️ I was once asked by a coworker who is not familiar with Japanese sake what I would recommend, and I answered "Abe" if it's in the prefecture. And he replied 😅

寿梨庵
Jay & Nobby, thank you for your support this year as well: 🙇‍♂️ I think Hi-Gan is probably aiming for the ultimate food sake, and I felt this sake has something in common with it... That's just my opinion 😅

I forgot to say hello to you, so here's another one 🍶. I saw someone's review and felt like having a drink for the first time in a while 😊. The aroma of koji is familiar... Calpis <Yakult or ❔. It's so thick that you can feel the particles, but it's light and crisp, and has a lingering aftertaste that you would find in an advanced sake that you wouldn't find in a regular nigori 😌. This area is the result of special A district Yamada Nishiki ❔. I haven't had it in a while, but it's good👍. Great price for a premium rice Yamahai ✨. This is my 68th review this year! I think this is what I'll drink 😅 Thank you to everyone at Sake no Wa for your support this year 🙇‍♂️ Have a drunken New Year 🎍.

I've had the Ihyakumangoku version many times in the past 🌾. Again, very fresh and pleasantly slightly effervescent 👍very slightly oily 🌫️ This time, I feel the fruitiness like grapes and it is the lightest and cleanest ever 🤔... I can't help but want to try the other sake rice versions of 24BY 😆. Now, I tried to match it with the yellowtail sashimi + kiriboshi daikon alternatives yellowtail daikon 🐟. It was surprisingly crisp for me as the fat from the yellowtail has become too much for me, and it was a better snack 😋. It has a great texture and I highly recommend it ✨.

I thought about how it would be for oden🍢 but I couldn't help myself because I wanted to drink it😅. It's a very Shinshu Kamerei style, but it's very light and refreshing. I told myself that there is no problem with the compatibility when it is very refreshing 🤭. It has a solid ginjo aroma with a tropical apple flavor 🍏. It has a nice sharpness and a strong bitterness at the end.... I guess they are all delicious 😋.

I went to Nagano City for a day trip to attend the funeral of a friend from college. I had some time to kill, so I went to the supermarket. Along with Masumi, Nanasho, Keiryu, etc., I found this cup of sake that I had been curious about. Is it popular in Nagano? I went home and offered sake. The two-piece tongue for opening the bottle is cute (reminiscent of the lid of a cup noodle). (It reminds me of the lid of a cup noodle!) It gives the impression of being a Nagano sake. It seems to have some nuance of plants and trees. It has a delicious taste, goes with everything, and you don't get tired of drinking it. It seems to be good for outdoor activities. A man who liked motorcycles, mountains, skiing, etc. I thought to myself, "It's just like this label. I muttered to myself, "DIESECKEY" and.... It was just like my friend's name 😢.

Thank you for your laborious words, ma-ki-. I know this sake may be familiar to people in Nagano, but I never thought I would come across the sake I was interested in at this time... I wish I could have had a drink with him 😢.

New line of Kikusui ❔. Everyone loves Funaguchi Kikusui, which is an alsobeji line (honjo, ginjo), and this one is junmai, which I guess differentiates it ❔. I'm attached to that visual, and it gives me a sense of security. The atmosphere is very different 🟢. The aroma of the other one is more subtle and sweet. The other one has a big impact on me. The taste also gives the same impression, perhaps due to the lower alcohol content (still 17.5°), which makes it less punchy🤜. But that makes it easier to drink and more versatile 😊. It seems to go well with a wide range of foods, including Japanese and Chinese, but it's still the one for barbecues: ☝️ I wonder if there will be more releases in the future ❔. As the originator of sake in cans, I look forward to more developments👍

Very freshly squeezed sake✨. Fresh, rummy, and the overused term "adult soft drink". It's so isotonic that you'd never guess it's isotonic ❔. And the flavor that overflows gradually 🌾. The cool, clear taste reminded me of the morning air in the swamps of Akagi Mountain when I was a student 🍃. And looking at the label, Kurohinoki in the middle... I climbed it... ⛰️... I could drink it really pleasantly while recalling such things 😌. This refreshing feeling is like a summer sake, but good this time of year too👍. And it's a great value for money 🏆.
