寿梨庵
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 😌.

寿梨庵
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👍.

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 😅

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 😢.

Good evening, Jurian. The news of your friend's passing must have been painful for you both mentally and physically. I would like to make a drink in memory of your friend. I hope you are not too tired and that you can spend your time drinking slowly.

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 😢.

Kikusuiしぼりたて純米原酒生酒

寿梨庵
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 🏆.

寿梨庵
I was curious about this newly released 3-decibel sake, and when I found it at a nearby supermarket, I couldn't help but buy it â It's a pretty good price at 900 yen 😅. The poster at the store said in large letters that it was a seasonal product 👀"Seasonal" is not a word I'm familiar with, but I wonder if it will be released during this season in the future ❔. The taste is clean, but more rounded and mildly umami than sharp. It has a sweet taste for a Hakkaizan. As the temperature rises, the flavor becomes richer, with an apple-like ginjo aroma and a sharp, astringent taste 😋. It is different from the Hachikaisan I know ❔ and when I checked it out, I found that Miyamanishiki, which is probably not used very often, was used for the premium rice 🌾. Not like Niigata sake 🤔. It's not very fancy or luxurious, but it's a good sake for a fancy dinner ✨.

Collaboration sake with disk union and amaido✨ Amamido seems to be a hideout store in Nishi-Azabu 🌙I didn't know that 💦. disk union is a long-established record store that has been dealing in Western vinyl for a long time 🎶. What a collaboration ❕ with DJ President Takashima 🎧! disk union was a great help to me when I was young, so I couldn't pass it up 😆. I had it sent to me from a store I'm familiar with, but I checked and it's available at disk union's online shop👍. Shaoxing wine, molasses soy sauce, nutty, dead fern-like aroma, with a hint of herbs on the nose 🌿. The mouthfeel is soft, but it has a terrific sharpness and wakes you up to the acidity ⚡️ The taste is rich and hard to describe for my stupid tongue😅. It's not a heavy wine, but a graceful one 💫. Naturally I have a feeling it will warm up 🍶. I tried it all the way up to warmed up, but I think lukewarm is the best 🥇. The flavors are in harmony, the acidity is round and pleasantly spicy 😋. The cheese went really well with the sharply heated sake 🧀. When I used to go to disk union, I liked sharp music... so it was a soothing sake, different from my first impression 😌😌.

Many people reviewed the Echigo Kenshin SAKE Festival held last month, and a friend of mine who attended the festival bought the sake that I was visually overwhelmed by 🎶Thank you so much 🎶. I've never seen such artistic ❔ labels here, so why the camouflage... ❔? I think it's a rather typical Niigata Nama sake, but it's very smooth and elegant without being angular, while still being slightly effervescent and rough ✨. The sweetness is very Joetsu-like and the banana-like fruitiness is pleasant 😌. But I'm still curious about the concept of the label... why a white sweetfish on a camouflaged water surface ❔🫨?

Here's the real deal on the drinks prepared for visitors 😏. Compared to the surprisingly modern taste of Tatomo, this was such a classic ❔😮. Slowly sipping... It didn't change my opinion that this sake is one of Niigata's best 😌. This refinement is not so ✨

Me too, The Jun of Shibari-zuru feels more classic and lighter than the impression I had when I drank it a long time ago. Definitely a great Niigata sake 👍.

I bought this for a guest from Tokyo. The Tatyu series is made entirely from Koshitanrei sake grown locally in Ojiya ✨. I was looking forward to it myself as I missed out on the Hiyayogoroshi which was very well received 😊. The nose has a slightly matured rice aroma 🌾. The sweet and sour aroma hit me unexpectedly 😆. Fruitiness like Japanese pear, slight ripeness, and acidity like a sake yeast yeast 🤔. I could feel the full flavor of rice and the potential of Koshitanrei, and I think the good points of special junmai are fully expressed 😋. I haven't had this kind of sake in a while... I can recommend this as a local sake: ✌️
Japanese>English
ヒラッチョ
Tatomo, it's getting pretty good, isn't it? This special junmai has reached a very good level. Even though I am a Choshamori fan, I am a Choshamori fan, but the evolution of Takai's sake is not to be missed.

I like a bottle wrapped in wrapping paper. The contents are usually a grade higher (old first class or special grade) and are a nice ✨souvenir✨. I've been in liquor stores for years and they have them on the shelf... "I'll take my time, I'll take my time... I lift the bottle and feel like a hard-boiled man as portrayed by Masayuki Izumi 😏. Yes, wearing a trench coat 🧥. I also imagine that the sake will be delivered naked (how naughty 😅), but when the sake is packaged, my spine goes up 🫡. This sake is also a regular sake, but it's beautifully packaged and looks classic 🍶. I also like the labels that look like public bath art: ♨️ The taste is one rank above the rest and is perfectly fine for everyday use and is a versatile player 🏆. It tastes smooth like water and slightly sweet, but in the second half, it has a bitter and astringent taste 😌. I am reminded of the similarity between Shizuoka sake and Niigata sake at this level 🤔. But Shizuoka sake is lighter and more floral💫. Positive feeling 🔆.

It was the kind of "hiyaoroshi" sake I envisioned. Basically, it has a classic firm sake quality. The acidity was present for a moment along with a banana-like fruitiness, leading to a gentle aftertaste. 〰︎〰︎ Freshness and maturity coexist (in a very good way), similar to Niigata sake, giving the impression that it is a hiyaoroshi from Hokuriku: ☺️ While some hiyaoroshi can be harsh, it goes well with food and you don't get tired of drinking it. I was going to warm it up, but I drank it 💦. I'll enjoy it next season 🍁.

Limited edition sake purchased during a visit to the brewery in early spring. It has a ripe apple-like aroma, and the mouthfeel is as gentle as water. It has a strong acidity, but the aroma of the wooden vat is pleasantly familiar and soothing: 〰︎〰︎ The sake is understated in its raw yeastiness, which is in keeping with this very gentle ginjo style of sake: ☺️ I'm looking for a quirk❔ or twist❔ that is typical of Tsuchida, but without being too assertive.... I felt its character was the essence 😊. A strange matching, but a perfect balance✨

I think I'm drinking more hiyaoroshi this year than usual, but I don't know why... 🤔 This is the one I reserved a while ago... Melon aroma rising softly 🍈. A classic taste of the royal road with a solid Jungin-like structure ✨. I thought it was relatively light for a moment, but in the second half, the aroma came on strong and I could feel the maturity in the nose 😌😌. This sake also has dignity 😊.
