Raifuku Sakura Yeast Junmai Usu Nigori Nama February 22, 2025 Kagataya Sake Brewery Spring Sake Tasting This brewery uses flower yeast. Selfishly, the name of the flower gives an impression of the flavor, which makes me avoid it. Tasted cold, the flavor was tight and the carbonation on the palate, as well as the sweetness and acidity, were both pleasant.

Ohmine Junmai Daiginjo Unfiltered Nama-shu Aizan February 15, 2025 Isego Honten 3960 yen Comparison with Ohmine Dewa Sanzan. The aroma has a nice flavor of rum and grapes, and the mouthfeel is slightly carbonated. The sweetness on the tongue is followed by an impressive acidity. The taste after drinking is well-balanced with acidity, sweetness and bitterness. Compared to Dewa Sanzan, it has a richness and a long sweet aftertaste. As the temperature rises a little, the aroma spreads with a bang and the flavor increases in volume, making it delicious.

Tomikunaga Spring Ususu Nigori Junmai Ginjyo Nao Kumi Nama Sake February 22, 2025 Kagataya Sake Shop Spring Sake Tasting Hiroshima sake with soft water, soft mouthfeel with sweetness. It has a sweet and soft mouthfeel, with a sour and bitter taste, making it a good mid-meal or everyday sake. It has little impact, but it is a good sake to drink slowly. The taste may change as the temperature drops.

Hououmida Heki-ban Junmai Ginjo Unfiltered Nama-shu January 2, 2025 A friend of mine in Oyama brought this Heki-ban to a New Year's party. We have already confirmed its deliciousness at the new sake tasting. It has a fruity aroma typical of Hououmida, and when you put it in your mouth, the sweetness spreads to a grape-like fruitiness. The soft sweetness and sourness is accompanied by the bitterness of new sake. We once again realized the deliciousness of Hououmida.

Tsuki no I Junmai Unfiltered Nama Sake Hitanishiki February 5, 2025 Drinks with friends in Kichijoji. We had a bottle of Ibaraki Tsuki no I, which was made by the toji Ishikawa, who moved from Hiroshima Taketsuru. It is an amber-colored sake that looks good warmed up, but it is easy to drink cold and goes well with tsumami. While it was easy to drink, I was surprised to see the alcohol content of 20%. I was tipsy in the cold.

Kamo Nishiki Shagafuda Sake Yellow Narcissus January 18, 2025 Isego Honten 3481 yen The nose has a citrus aroma with a slight bitterness like beer. The hard, carbonated mouthfeel is preceded by a sourness, which gradually gives way to sweetness and bitterness. It tastes like a rummy, and although the richness is modest, it is very drinkable without making you feel the low alcohol content. I always like this sake. Let's try the other specs.

Akirika Junmai Araogoshi Nama Sake January 18, 2025 Isego Honten 2695 yen Akishika is a crisp and sharp sake that looks great warmed up. This is a nigori sake that I wanted to try. The hole in the stopper makes it less shwashy, so we started with the light nigori-nigorizumi supernatant. It has a graininess of rice aroma and a full-bodied taste with a sharpness. The sweet-sourness and richness increase when the nigori is mixed, but the sharpness is still there. When heated, it has a sweet aroma like that of roasted sweet potatoes and chestnuts, and the flavor and acidity are sharp and crisp. I like this flavor of Akizuka.

Kudokibe Junmai Daiginjo Shiboritate December 31, 2024 Asahiya Sake Shop 3,520 yen Kudokibe is a sake that we have received in the hanpukai and have recognized as a delicious sake. This was the second bottle of Shiboritate I opened in the new year, and when I first learned that the brewery was 100 years old, I wanted to continue to support it. The aroma was fruity with sweetness and sourness like strawberries and pineapple. It has a sweet and sour mouthfeel with a slight carbonation and a fluffy sweetness. It has a robust mouthfeel with a full-bodied flavor that I like.

Toukishi Honjozo Nigori Activated Nama Sake December 21, 2024 Asahiya Sake Shop 2470 yen The supernatant had a fruity aroma, but when the nigori was mixed, it had a rich aroma of rice and sweet sake. Slight carbonation is felt in the mouthfeel, and sweetness and bitterness rush in. The acidity is mild and the aftertaste changes from sweetness to richness. It is the first real nigori in a long time. It would be good with soda.

Shinsei colors Cosmos December 31, 2024 Asahiya Sake Shop 2680 yen The first sake of 2025 is Shinsei. And I noticed it was 400 check-in.

The sourness lingers in the refreshing mouthfeel, but quickly disappears.

Houou Mita Red Edition Christmas SP Light Nigori December 21, 2024 Asahiya Sake Shop 3960 yen Strawberry aroma when the bottle is opened, and the good fruity aroma typical of Hououmida spreads with a bang in the glass. Flavors of apples and green grapes, the mouthfeel is sourness ahead in the supernatant, and sweetness when nigori is added. A fruity sweet-sourness spreads on the palate, leaving a robust richness as it is swallowed down. I had been satisfied with Jun Oyamadanishiki 40 with the back brand, Araoshi Merger, but the red version of the front brand was amazing.

Goho Kitashizuku 50-50 Nama Sake December 28, 2024 Sakuramoto Shoten 1980 yen First trip to Hokkaido in a while. Visited Sakuramoto Shoten, which I had seen on Instagram. It was a modern store, and the store was busy with people coming by car as it was the end of the year. There was a brand I wanted to drink, but I selected a stylish looking local sake from Hokkaido. Sweet aroma of melon and candy. In the mouth, it is fruity, but the sweetness is mild, accented by sourness, and the bitterness finishes the palate. Hakodate Brewery is the 14th sake brewery in Hokkaido, established in April 2021 for the first time in about 35 years. It is the only sake brewery in Hakodate and southern Hokkaido.

Genmai Honjozo November 9, 2024 Isego Honten 2500 yen The ginjo aroma is not flashy, but it has a melon-like ginjo aroma and a slight alcohol taste. It has a refreshing mouthfeel, but the sweetness gradually spreads as it is swallowed down. There is a slight bitterness in the aftertaste. A good brand for everyday drinking. When warmed up to lukewarm, it has a mild and clear flavor that you can drink all the time.
