Good evening, long time no see from Okinikura here 💁‍♂️ Kangiku Jushinmu 50 -Hazy Moon Orikagarami Unfiltered Nama Sake 2025 ✨🌙 I've had this sake at Eiko Fuji🗻, but it's been a long time since I've had it. ☺️ The bottle was opened cold without delay. When served from the top, the aroma is odorless to slightly chemically-intense. The flavor is a delicious attack of spicy rummy 🥤😋😋😋😋😋. It is also sweet and juicy like grape🍇, Japanese pear🍐, and lychee with a crisp aftertaste and is in demon repeat mode👹. It's even better with a little bit of lees on the lees to increase the bitterness and spiciness of the aftertaste👍

Good evening, I've been having hay fever of late? Yellow sand? A cold caused by the difference in temperature? I've been feeling a little better, but I'd like to work on cleaning alcohol 😆 (Alcohol is the natural enemy of hay fever 😂). AKABU SPARKLING RED EMBLEM 2024BY✨🫧. This is the first sparkling sake from Akabu since GALAXY, and since GALAXY is so delicious, my expectations are high. ⤴️ The bottle was opened easily, and it is Oragana Nama Sake, but from the top clearings. The aroma is almost odorless, but there is a very slight citrus lemon 🍋 The taste has a sweet umami of rice on the attack, but it soon takes on the bitter, spicy and astringent taste of lemon 🍋 like an adult lemon soda🥤 and is a confirmed winner. ‼️🥇🏆 The sake is so good that the cup keeps getting refilled, but strangely enough, the flavor is now fuller and deeper 😋😋😋😋😋😋😋. AKABU's SPARK was still an iron plate 😊.

Good evening, I've been a little behind on posting due to hay fever and a cold 🤧 but I'd like to wash my throat 🦠 with alcohol 🤣. Respect to Wind Forest ALPHA6 No. 6 2024 🌪️🌳❻ I've been wanting to drink A6 again this year so I'm buying it 👛. The standing aroma is the uli and aloe aroma that seems to be No. 6. The taste was cold at first and the water was very hard, so it had the flavor of a dry cider, but as the temperature rose, it became more nourishing, with a soft sweetness that was very tasty 😋😋😋😋. The harmony of the bitter, spicy, and astringent aftertaste and the lingering aftertaste were also very good and I enjoyed the Wind Forest style. ☺️

Good evening, I'm dropping another first series today. I'm curious about the new lineup of renewal breweries and loosened my purse strings here 😆💁‍♂️ Maison Aoi Untitled 01, 2025✨ I was going to put it in hibernation since it's the first lot of the anniversary series, but then I decided to drink it and open the bottle 🙌 It looks like it was made with Miyamanishiki. The aroma is fresh green apple, green banana, and cream-like sweetness. The attack is pretty and light, like a white wine made from Koshu grapes, but with a strong acidity in the middle and a crisp and sharp finish that is low in alcohol and easy to drink 😋😋😋😋. I think the flavor would have expanded with a little more temperature and I personally would have liked it with another degree of higher alcohol, but the first one was satisfying to start with 💮. Also, I can't help but wish they'd make an effort on the offer price if it sells well, 😅.

Good evening, Kirataso 😊. We have the first lot with paint waiting for us too, but even though we haven't drank it yet, it looks like there will be a third unfiltered draft and I'm wondering if I should buy Dora 😂 I wonder if it's a light nigori 🤔 I'm curious...

@Tsubu-chan Good morning ☀☀ I see that you are waiting for the first lot ‼️ I think it might be better if you let it sit for a while to get the best flavor since it is fire-added. I reserved it because 03 seems to be unfiltered nigori raw 😆.

Tonight, I'd like to drop my first series of major sake, which I haven't had much chance to drink except for this one: 💁‍♂️ Saku FLINT Junmai Ginjo 2024BY✨ It's finally here, Saku ZAKU, and from the look of it, the way it's wrapped in linen gives it a special feeling that it's not a mass-produced type 😆. It seems that this bottle is named after Yamatotakeru, the god of the gods. The aroma is not the usual characteristic of Yamada-Nishiki, but rather a grain-like aroma of rice, with a hint of chemi, and as the name suggests, a flint-like minerality. ☺️ The attack is soft with a sweet umami taste of rice, but the second half is sharp with a bitter taste and dryness of alcohol 😋😋😋😋😋. I'm going to try other brands from Saku ZAKU 🙌

Tonight is a national holiday 🎌 and I'm cheering for Japan's national soccer team ⚽️🇯🇵 to make it to the World Cup with this drink 🙌 Koshizai M-Falcon Unrefined Nama-shu 2024BY✨. Echigo Tsurukame's new lineup is taking on a modern challenge. Also, the name of this sake is very appealing to those who love STAR WARS 😁. The specs are: Junmai orikarumi nama sake, Gohyakumangoku, 10 degrees alcohol by volume (very low alcohol content) 🍶. The aroma is a little bit too much for my liking, but I've seen the description on the back jacket 😅 It has a refreshing juicy citrus aroma (summer tangerine). (Summer tangerine). It tastes like an adult Fanta Orange 🍊 with a certain amount of gas, but it's bitter and spicy, but I can't help but drink it like a juice 🍹😋😋😋😋😋😋. I had high expectations, but this is one I'd like to repeat 💮.

Both the aroma and taste are light and easy to drink with a refreshing aroma of pink grapefruit hops, acidity and bitterness as the main flavors 😋😋😋😋😋. The rice flavor and sharpness in the aftertaste will linger in your nostrils while you enjoy the lingering aftertaste 😙. I remember that the normal Hanakaze had a fuller and more voluminous taste, but this one is also nice and refreshing 😃.

Tonight, we're opening a bottle of this season's brand here: 💁‍♂️ Abe Silver, draft, 2024BY✨. Lot: vol.1-3 From this season? Did they lose the Junmai or Jungin name and went to Black or Silver? Well, either one is fine, 😆. Well, here is this season's Silver: ☺️ It's like an ogara-mi nama-shu, so my expectations are high: ⤴️ From the nose, there's the expected muskmelon flesh and pear tropicality, but the taste is like an adult cider, tonic water, or potpourri with chili gasses and a bitter dry aftertaste, sharpness, and lingering aftertaste. I really like the taste 😋😋😋😋😋😋. It has a translucent light cloudy color when the lees are involved. but the taste does not change much 😊. This season's Silver is also a satisfying bottle 💮.

Tonight, I'm after a workout 🏋️ and I'm going to be a kitchen drunker early 😅 I'm thirsty and wanted to drink something with some schwash stimulation, so I pulled this out 💁‍♂️ San-do Hozu Gonoho 2023 Special summer edition kawamatsuri ✨ I haven't checked the specs properly, but is kawamatsuri made any differently? The aroma is different from the usual HOMASA, with an Oronamin C type energy drink aroma and the thick lactic acid extract and sweet aroma of undiluted Calpis 🤩 The taste is still gaseous, but it has a clear and refreshing grenfre and lemon citrus flavor that is bitter and spicy. I can feel that it was made to be drinkable on a hot summer day 😀. This is delicious 😋, but I personally prefer the usual Hozu. (Please forgive my stupid tongue if the brewing hasn't changed at all 🤣)

Tonight, I just drank a retro one the other day, but to release the stock, I'm going to drink the one I put down for 2 years at the end of the year and reflected on it for a little over a year 😅. Senkou Ichikou Oirigarami 2023BY✨ This is a custom made orikagarami 😊. When I opened the bottle and poured it into the sake cup, there were some gas bubbles at the rim and I was expecting it to be strong against old age, but the aroma was a fresh melon cream soda 🥤 😁 When I drank the very light nigori top clear, it was an adult cider with a moderate sweetness, but with a rice flavor and a slightly matured bitter umami. The finish is also very sharp and invites you to go into the devil's repeat mode 😋😋😋😋😋😋. After a bit of a dry fermentation, the full-bodied flavor increases and it's a knockout 🥊. It will be empty in a second😅.

Taste is tangy and gassy on the tongue, sour to citrus lemon🍋 and greffle bitterness and freshness 😋😋😋😋. It's a hop saké that's almost juice-like at 7 degrees low al but not too light and has a lingering aftertaste: ☺️

Tonight, I'm opening this bottle to a nice tired feeling on my return from a business trip in Japan: 💁‍♂️ Tsuchida99 Active Nigori Nama UA ver. 2024BY✨ Tsuchida99 is a UA collaboration of UA brewer Tsuchida Shuzo, who is exploring metamorphic sake brewing in a respectful and complimentary way. 99% koji, No.6 yeast, natural yeast, active nigori, unfiltered unpasteurized sake, 13% alcohol, yellow malted rice, white malted rice used. The aroma is sour lactic acid and citrus lemon 🍋. The taste is also very interesting. Although it is called "active", there is almost no gasiness, and in a word, it is an "adult bitter lemon yogurt sake". ⁉️ It has some nuances similar to Niimasa's Okame-san🐢, but it is completely in the category of craft saké. It is a sake, but strangely easy to drink and delicious.

Tonight, I opened a bottle of Choshu sake here, which I haven't had in a while: 💁‍♂️ Choyo Fukumusume Junmai Ginjo Yamadanishiki Yamaguchi 9E Limited Direct Kumi 2024BY✨ There are many sake breweries in this prefecture, which is one or two sake kingdoms in the western Japan area, but Iwasaki Shuzo's brewery is my personal favorite. ☺️ From the standing aroma, it has a clear, yet gorgeous ginjo aroma with a hint of cucumber. The taste has a slight chili chili gas feeling, but the structured acidity, rice flavor, and slight sweetness are extremely pleasant and immediately put me in heavy drinking mode 😋😋😋😋😋😋😋. Although the alcohol content is 16%, it is very easy to drink, yet the aftertaste is very sharp and enjoyable. It seems like it should be more popular (or is it already popular?). It is easy to drink and has a nice sharp finish 💮! This is just a selfish nomurae's soliloquy 🤣.

Tonight, a bottle of this one here 💁‍♂️ as a continuation of the muddy picks. Oroku Kei Junmai Nigori 2022BY✨ This is a junmai nigori unfiltered from Ohroku's Kei series. It's close to what I drank last time and a little gas rises when you open the bottle 😊🫧. From the top clear (light nigori). It has melon, dried grapes, plums, and a hint of creaminess. The taste has a tingling gas, acidity, and rice sweetness and flavor that I love, and the high alcohol content is full and dry 😋😋😋😋. I like the dryness and creaminess of the wine when the lees are fully agitated and the intoxication goes away faster 😆. Like last time, it's easy to drink but has a strange charm that makes it drinkable 🍶🍶.

I'm going to open a second bottle of this one tonight because I don't want to waste my Collage 💁. The second bottle is a Junmai Yamadanishiki 65 Fire 2024BY✨. I think it's been a while since Nito-san has had a bottle. The name sounds like Tanaka Sixty-five 😆. The aroma is not matured at all, but it has a strong matured aroma like caramel or tortoiseshell candy 😅 The taste also has a momentary acidity, but the sweetness of matured sake spreads and I was surprised that such a matured way of making sake was possible 😲. I think this sake is better to drink at room temperature or warmed up than cold sake. ☺️ In fact, when I warmed it up a little hot, the maturity disappeared and the rice flavor and acidity of junmai sake stood out, which is definitely my favorite flavor 😋. I'm going to enjoy the oxidation and temperature over the next few days 🙌

Good evening, I've been out drinking and my posting has stopped for a bit, but I'm back on track: ☺️ Today is an anniversary, so I'm opening a bottle of one of my favorites 💁. Collage Junmai Ginjo Banshu Aizan The first time I went to the store, I was surprised to find that the price of the bottle was $3.95 per bottle, which is a little over $3.99 per bottle. This one has been aged for a little more than half a year, but since it is fire-aged, the aroma has nuances of fresh strawberries, condensed milk, and white sugar, but it has a refined quality. The taste also has a juicy attack of strawberries and melon, but it is not at all cloying, and the acidity and sweetness are exquisite and definitely delicious 😋😋😋😋. The finish is long and pleasant with a strong rice flavor and dry crispness. I would say it has a magical taste that makes you want to drink more and more 👿. Considering the taste, price, and availability, I think this is a must-buy 💮.

The aroma is mainly sweet, with a chemically-intense aroma similar to Omachi, kumquat, and tangerine. The taste is also retro with moderate acidity and a sweet umami to bitter spiciness, and it has a modern classic/neo-classic quality that makes it versatile as a stand-alone sake or as a food sake 😋😋😋😋😋😋 Obviously the catch is modern and classic, but this one will be better liked by the experts. ☺️

The aroma is clear and sweet with a hint of white sugar, and the taste is quite sweet with acidity and umami following afterwards 🧐 The aftertaste is easy to drink, probably due to the low alcohol content, but there is no sharpness or tightness in the taste, giving a moderate impression overall 😢.

The aroma is a gentle, simple melon-auri aroma with a hint of Yamadanishiki and No. 6 yeast. The taste is also easy to drink like potassium with a little lactic acidity on the attack 😋😋😋😋, but as it nears the finish, it has a bitter taste and as the name suggests, a full flavor like tortoise shell candy, and the deliciousness is masked 😊.
