Shirakoh Junmai Nama Shochu Dry 4-Step Brewing March 17, 2024 Kagoya Shimotakaido Store The brewer came to the tasting. It has a fresh mouthfeel with a slight carbonation. The impression of heated sake I had in Hiroshima was dispelled. According to the brewer, it is a sweet and spicy sake. It has a melon-like flavor, with a rich sweet and sourness that spreads out, but has a nice sharpness. We bought a bottle of regular junmai for home use.

Collage Junmai Hatsu Shibori Unfiltered Nama Sake January 21, 2024 Isego Honten 2976 yen A basic junmai, unfiltered nama-shu only available at this time of the year. It has a fruity aroma beyond imagination. In addition to apples, it has a milky flavor. Fresh sweet and sourness spreads on the tongue. The richness is similar to hi-iru, but the lively acidity and aftertaste on the palate are unique to nama-shu. Regular junmai with this taste is the best.

Takeyuu Special Junmai Nigori March 3, 2024 Asahiya Sake Shop 3281 yen Purchased Takeyuki Nigori, which I gave up last time because I was confused with Kido's Nigori. The bottle was opened normally with a perforated stopper. The aroma was grape-like and the carbonation was stimulating. It has a robust drinking experience that is unique to Takeyoshi. More robust than Kido Nigori, it is delicious.

Mutsu Hachisen Bespoke Tokubetsu Junmai Nama-shu January 21, 2024 Sake-Noten Hayashi Hanpukai In addition to grapes, the nose has hints of tropical fruits like mango and coconut. It is reminiscent of a rich flavor, but the mouthfeel is soft and the acidity tightens up the almost dry taste. There is also a slight carbonation, and the aftertaste is clean, crisp, and refreshing. After opening the bottle, the sake gradually opens up to a sweet and sour taste.

Hououmida Junmai Daiginjo Yamadanishiki 40 Araoshi Merger January 21, 2024 Isego Honten 3,400 yen Just after opening the bottle, there is a fruity aroma. When poured into a glass, good aromas of strawberries and apples spread. The mouthfeel is calm, with a hint of sourness on the tongue and a light sweetness. The lingering acidity and umami after drinking are long. Even when lukewarm, the acidity stands up and the umami spreads in a mellow and delicious way. I still prefer the Araoshi merger and will buy more.

Hayaseura Bespoke Tokubetsu Junmai Nama Nama Sake November 19, 2023 Sake-no-Ten HAYASHI Hanpukai Directly pumped but mild both when opened and when poured. The nose is rich and viscous with hints of pear and alcohol. The acidity is prevalent and spreads quickly, and the sake seems to rush into the mouth like a big lump, and it is swallowed with great vigor. The lingering aftertaste on the nose is good, and the sharpness of the sake keeps you going with the next sip. The second half of the bottle is left at room temperature and drunk hot. As always with men's sake, it goes well with sashimi.

Kido Junmai Ginjo Nigori Sake Nama February 3, 2024 Asahiya Sake Shop 2750 yen We went to the sake shop for Kido Nigori, which we enjoyed last year. It was easy to open the bottle with a perforated stopper, and I had to drink it quickly before the shwash was gone. Even though it is mixed with nigori, it has a smooth taste, a grain and rice aroma, and a full-bodied mouthfeel. The carbonation is stimulating and the sourness is accented by the acidity. The sweetness is moderate and makes the drink go further.

Takayuu Junmai Daiginjo Shohei Otani Memorial Sake February 2, 2023 Junmai Daiginjo from Takayuu Tottori. We had a rare Shohei Otani commemorative sake. It has a broth-like aroma typical of Tottori sake and a gorgeous aroma. When served cold, the umami spreads slowly on the tongue, giving it a full-bodied flavor. As the temperature rises, the aroma and flavor open up and become full-bodied. It is a sake that you will want to warm up, which is different from a sake that is only gorgeous.

Kawanakajima Junmai Nigori December 17, 2023 Isego Honten 2400 yen I have a memory of receiving this sake from a female toji at a tasting before my child was born. It is a mellow, cloudy sake with a deliciously smooth finish that cuts right through the aftertaste. She recommended my wife to try it, but I still remember when she looked at my stomach and noticed it. Since then, it has become a popular brand and I have rarely seen it, but I bought it for the first time in a while. The second half is richer than the first half, so I enjoy it with soda.

Kamo Nishiki Shagafuda Sake Junmai Daiginjo Tankoba Kumi December 17, 2023 Isego Honten 2982 yen The second bottle for New Year's Day is my favorite shakufuda-shu. The bottle opens gently but there are bubbles in the glass. Good voluptuous aroma like strawberry ice cream reminiscent of Jikin Senbon Nishiki. Slight carbonation, light acidity, and strawberry sweetness spreads and disappears quickly in the aftertaste. It is still my favorite sake.

Koei Kiku Snow Cresent Yamadanishiki 2023 December 23, 2023 Sake-no-Ten Hayashi Koei-Kiku, popular in recent years, 2024 selected for New Year's sake. The cork popped with a loud noise and the bubbles came up to my mouth, so I hurried to avoid them in my glass. The bubbles were as zippy as champagne. The nose is clean with grapes and citrus fruits, and the sweetness follows the acidity on the tongue. The acidity appears on the tongue and is followed by sweetness.

The mouthfeel is soft and the acidity spreads slowly, followed by a light sweetness. The finish is refreshing, with a slight bitterness and astringency. When heated, both the aroma and taste are acidic, giving it a robust drinking experience.

Tamagawa Honjozo Shiboritate Nama-nama Sake December 3, 2023 Asahiya Sake Shop 2640 yen The fresh, melon-like aroma of Tamagawa Shiboritate was impressive. Although it is not junmai made, the roughness of the new sake and the impact of its flavor made a good impression. We like the sweet blue melon aroma, the bitterness and sharpness on the back end.

Senkori Snowman December 28, 2023 I had it with a mouthful for the last dinner of the work week. It has a nigori rice flavor with a sweet and sour aroma like calpis. The bottle has a hole in the top, but you can feel the carbonation. It is a light nigori sake with a dry taste contrary to the image of Sengoku.

Takeyu Junmai Ginjyo Shiboritate Nao Kumi Natsurofuki Nama Sake December 3, 2023 Asahiya Sake Shop 3130 yen Takeyuu has made a good impression recently. Although it is freshly pressed directly from the bottle, the opening of the bottle is gentle. Nice aroma reminiscent of ramune, with a slight carbonation and acidity leading the way. Melon and grape-like flavors can be detected, but the mouthfeel is gentle and refreshingly sweet, and the finish is sharp.

Gorgeous aroma of strawberries and grapes, with a hint of rice straw typical of Yamadanishiki. We are always surprised to find such an elegant aroma from a liquid brewed with rice. The mouthfeel is soft, with the acidity leading the way, followed by sweetness, and then the aroma passes through to the nose. It has a long aftertaste. Enjoy it warmed up a little. We are very satisfied with this sake.

The mouthfeel is soft, robust, sweet and sour. The back palate has a light acidity. The taste is satisfactory for a regular junmai that has good sharpness and can be served at any temperature.

Toyokoh Junmai Hatsu Shibori Unfiltered Nama Sake November 18, 2023 Asahiya Sake Shop 2530 yen After tasting, we decided on Toyooka as this year's new sake. 2020's new sake is also this sake, which is cosy and has a taste we like. When poured, it has fine bubbles with a hint of ori. The aroma is sweet, like grapes or candy. When you sip it, you get a light carbonation and the bitterness that is typical of new sake. The bitter and sour tastes are mixed wildly in the aftertaste.
