Meikyoshu, Tarui, Tank Shibori July 29, 2023 Kagataya Sake Shop 2750 yen I thought it was a limited edition, but was surprised to see it as a regular product. Yamadanishiki Junmai Sake from Meikagyojimizu, Nagano. It has a sweet and sour sake-like aroma with a hint of caramel. The sweetness and umami spread on the palate, followed by the acidity. A versatile local sake that can be drunk slowly over a long period of time and can also be served warm.

Hououmida Junmai Daiginjo Asahi 40% Polishing, Aragusu Oshikiri Merger Kasumi Hon Nama Sake October 1, 2023 Asahiya Sake Shop 3300 yen Hououmida, which I asked them to hold on reserve. As I am an instant buyer of Japanese paper labels, I was surprised to find a lot of it still in stock, so I had to repeat my purchase. This is the first Asahi rice for this brand. When poured, it smells of grapes and strawberries, and as the temperature rises, it has a sweet and sour aroma like apples, with a touch of alcohol. It has a soft, slightly creamy mouthfeel, and the sweet and sour taste spreads over the palate. The Asahi rice from Okayama, which is used for rice, is surprising in its flavor and length of aftertaste.

Ohmine Akirei Kasumi Ikume Yumachi 3grain September 16, 2023 Kagataya Sake Shop 3,630 yen The cork pops open, and the aroma of muscat and rum is wafting through the air. The rich aroma of raisins and melon flavor as the temperature rises. The light carbonation, juicy sweet flavor, and pleasant aroma wafts into the nose. The sweetness spreads on the palate, and the aftertaste is elegant. The sweetness overlaps with that of Jyushiyo. In the latter half, the taste becomes thicker as the oriel gets involved, and the moist sweetness is to our liking.

Hououmida Junmai Daiginjyo Aizan 40%-5% Polishing, Aragusu Oshikiri Merger, Unfiltered Nama Sake July 29, 2023 Kagataya Sake Shop 3750 yen Gorgeous, rich, sweet and sour aroma spreads with a bang. On the other hand, there are also grain flavors. Gradually, pineapple, berries, and fruity acidity spreads lushly in the mouth. Although the acidity precedes the taste, the elegant sweetness follows it up firmly, and when the wine is swallowed down, a sense of fruitiness passes through the nose. The finish is crisp and refreshing. It is hard to imagine what the middle distillate would be like, but for me, this is enough.
