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.

Kyokko Summer Shiboritate Unfiltered Nama Sake August 27, 2023 Tsukii Sake Shop 1210 yen This is a summer-only sake from Tochigi Asahioki. It is freshly pressed on June 22nd with 50% polished rice. It has a fruity aroma like a Japanese pear. Compared to the aroma, the taste is mellow and sweet and sour. It also has a bitter taste, but with a clean aftertaste. A bottle with the best cost performance.

Collage Junmai Ginjo September 24, 2023 Soba shop sake for lunch on a holiday. It has a melon-like aroma and a slight sweetness on the palate supported by acidity. We enjoyed a leisurely sip.

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.

Yuho Junmai Nama Nama Shu Oragami SEXY Perfectly Mature Sake 2023 August 21, 2023 Kagataya Sake Shop 3,000 yen Youho is a sake that requires attention when opening the cork, and this time the cork really flew open. When poured, it was foamy and bubbly. It has a whisky-like oak aroma with hints of banana and grapes, and a sweet and sour aroma like yogurt. When sipped, the impactful carbonation is followed by a heavy aged aroma and sweetness. The sweetness and bitterness increase when mixed with nigori. The carbonation stimulates the aftertaste, and the sake has a sharp aftertaste, which is typical of Yuho. I think I will drink it with new sake next season.

Juichi Masamune Tsukii Sake Shop Original Special Junmai August 27, 2023 Nasu Tsukii Sake Brewery 1375 yen This original junmai is recommended at Tsukii Sake Shop, which we visited during our trip to Nasu. This custom-made junmai sake is brewed with contract-cultivated Gohyakumangoku, Shoninzawa spring water, Tochigi Prefecture yeast T-SSU & Akari No. 10 yeast. It has a banana-like aroma, a hint of alcohol, and a soft mouthfeel that the liquor store owner warns against drinking too much of. The acidity and sweetness are mild enough to keep you going for a long time, and the taste is what you would expect from a local sake. It is a pity that we could not buy a bottle.

Dear Drunkenness of a Lifetime of Style Thank you for your comment. We had only one bottle of raw sake left, and since we were on our way out, we had to give it up. There were many other great Tochigi sake brands, please visit us.
