出雲富士 特別純米一回火入 國平米雄町
2024年11月29日
籠屋下高井戸店
3410円
國平氏が赤磐で作る雄町米を使って出雲富士が醸す籠屋オリジナル純米酒を生と火入の飲み比べ。
冷えた時は生酒と香りの違いが分からなかったが、温度が上がると米の風味を感じる。口にすると穏やかな酸味、後口に僅かに苦味とコクを感じる。冷たいと味わいが薄く感じたが温めたら雰囲気が変わるかも。

Izumo Fuji Tokubetsu Junmai Nama Kunihiraume Omachi
November 29, 2024
Kagoya Shimotakaido
3410 yen
A comparison of two of Kagoya's original junmai sake brewed by Izumo Fuji using Omachi rice produced in Akaban by Kunihira.
The raw sake has a mild aroma with a hint of sourness. The sourness spreads softly on the palate like plums. The taste is light, but the lingering acidity is followed by a candy-like sweetness.

Tasted at a new sake tasting. More fruity aroma than expected. Carbonated mouthfeel, with sweetness preceding and sourness following. After tasting other new sake, the taste left a lasting impression. This is a great taste for the price. I bought it immediately after the tasting.

November 16, 2024
Kagataya Sake Shop New Sake Tasting
This one also has a milky aroma typical of new sake. The mouthfeel is soft, with a hint of acidity followed by a full-bodied, well-balanced taste. While it was well balanced, it did not have the impact of new sake.

November 16, 2024
Kagataya Sake Shop New Sake Tasting
Heki-ban has a good impression every year. The fruity aroma is typical of Hououmida. The acidity on the palate has impact. The scale of taste is larger than that of Hatsushibori, which we compared. It is full-bodied and has a bitterness typical of new sake.

My favorite new sake from Hououmida. Fruity aroma typical of this brewery. The taste is mildly acidic, with a moderate sweetness and a full-bodied flavor. While it was tasty, the impact of new sake was not so strong.

Fruity ginjo aroma. On the palate, the acidity is preceded by a soft sweetness. Refreshing taste. Highly aromatic, it gives the impression of a model of jun-dai flavor, but it does not have much impact among new sakes.

November 16, 2024

I bought this Garden Uguisu five years ago after liking it at a sake tasting. Milky aroma that I felt the last time I drank it. Mellow and full-bodied without feeling like new sake on the palate.

Gikyo ORIGARUMI Junmai Nama-zake
November 16, 2024
Kagataya Sake Shop new sake tasting.
Both the aroma and taste had a strong rice flavor, and the lingering full-bodied aftertaste had a strong impact on the palate.
The taste was robust as one would expect from Gikyo, but when tasting the opening of the mouth, a carbonation was felt and the light mouthfeel was unexpected. I wonder if it is coming closer to the flavor of today.

Kagatuya Sake Shop

I liked the taste of the Honjozo at the tasting event, so I rekindled my disappointment when I missed out on buying it the other day because it was sold out at another liquor store...
After the tasting, I looked in the store and happily found the restocked Akabu Junmai! I bought it immediately. The aroma was sweet and fruity, like greenish apples. It is delicious with a slight carbonation and a refreshing sweetness that spreads in the mouth.

Akabu F NEW BORN
November 16, 2024
Kagatuya Brewery New Sake Tasting
I was going to buy the first lot of Akabu's new sake but couldn't because it was sold out. I was glad to come across it at the tasting.
The pleasant aroma, the carbonation felt on the palate and the bitterness on the back end made a big impact. The taste of this new sake, which is a honjozo, gives us a great impression of what to expect from this season.

Northwest Shuzo Prototype Honjozo Nama Sake
November 9, 2024
Isego Honten
2400 yen
This is an original Prototype from Isego Honten, which we had a good impression of when we drank it in June.
In addition to the yogurt-like aroma of Sairai, it has a sweet aroma with a hint of viscosity. The production date indicates that it has been aged for about half a year.
After the carbonation on the palate, the sweetness spreads, and the bitterness tightens up. I wonder if it will tighten up a little more when the temperature drops. In any case, the taste is satisfactory for the price.

Iraka Iraka Gin Kuro Birth Sake
November 16, 2024
Kagataya Sake Shop
First new sake tasting in 5 years. The first was a new brewery started by a toji from Oshinshu who took over a 350 year old brewery in Nagano Prefecture.
It has a fruity aroma with a hint of sourness, a carbonated mouthfeel, and a refreshing finish. It has a modern taste, but the full-bodied flavor comes off too quickly and gives a thin impression. I feel that the quality of the sake is what you would expect from a modern sake, but at this price, I would not buy it.

I had avoided it since the last time I tasted it because I did not like the flavor, but since I was able to taste it, I bought it to confirm the flavor. It was my first Hiroshima sake in a long time, and it was delicious.

Chokaizan Bespoke Junmai Daiginjo Unfiltered Nama Sake

Kagataya Sake Shop

Just by opening the bottle and pouring it, you can smell the fruity aroma. It has a juicy flavor with a milky aroma. When you open the bottle, you feel a slight carbonation, but when you sip it, you can directly feel the sweet and sour taste, and when you swallow it down, you can feel the sourness and richness, but it cuts through quickly. The slight bitterness in the finish resets the palate. It is a well-balanced and delicious sake, and the saké goes on and on.
