A drink to celebrate the new year of 2022. It was recommended to me by a liquor store I know at the end of the year. The label is a cute picture of a tiger by Kutani-yaki potter Keigo Kamide. It tastes like a well-balanced junmai ginjo sake with a clean and delicious taste, which is typical of Fukumitsuya.

Nanbu Bijin, given to me as a gift from a friend. It's a classic Nanbu Bijin sake that has won international awards and is designed to be the "ultimate sake for food. When I was in Tokyo on a business trip, I enjoyed a bottle of Nanbu Bijin at an izakaya. I was looking forward to opening the bottle.

I chose "Ichiro" by Dewazakura for my first sake of the New Year because the name fits my New Year's state of mind perfectly. This sake has won various awards and has been featured in the media, and is easy to drink and has a gorgeous feel to it. It's the perfect sake to drink on New Year's Day. It's a good start to the year (^^)

This is one of the Comcept Workers Selection. The name "Kamikimoto" is also in the dot style. The name "Kamikimoto" is also in the style of dots. The naming is said to be a straightforward way of saying "I want everyone to smile when they drink this sake. The sake is made from Kitashizuku, a sake rice produced in Hokkaido, and as expected of a sake brewery that makes full use of a variety of sake rice! Overall, the balance of taste is good (≧∇≦) When we bought this sake, the liquor store owner introduced it to us saying, "It has a fruity taste typical of Kamikimoto, but it has a good tangy taste when you put it in your mouth. When you take a sip, the first thing you taste is just like "sake! The first thing that comes to your mouth is the taste of sake, followed by a fruity taste.

The Yoshida warehouse. Modern Yamahai Terroir Less than 13% alcohol content (undiluted sake) Yoshida kura u" brand name was newly started with the keyword I've been curious about it for a while, but I finally got around to buying it! There were two versions of sake rice Gohyakumangoku and Hyakumangoku no Shiro, but I chose this one as I guess Hyakumangoku no Shiro (^^) Clear and light taste. It might be good to match it with the dish with strong taste. It goes down the throat easily.

I heard that this is a Junmai made from the same Tsannen Omachi that I enjoyed drinking before, so I bought it at a liquor store I know. The candidate I was supporting in yesterday's general election for the House of Representatives was elected, so I wished him to shine brilliantly, and I also wanted to have a personal toast. It's not too sweet, not too spicy, just the right balance, and it's delicious! I heard that it goes well with sour food, so I drank it with a dish of shirasu with ponzu sauce and lotus root kinpira.

The first time I fell in love with Toyo Bijin was with the "ippo" series before "Jyodo Ichidou", which was made with "Sakemai" sake rice. So when I found this sake at my local liquor store, I bought it on impulse (lol). It's still the same Toyo Bijin quality. This sake is in my personal hall of fame. The balance of the taste is not too sweet and not too spicy, and I love it! I want to drink this series again(^^)

This sake is made by mixing the original sake of various tanks of Daiginjo from Kamikimoto. It is Junmai Daiginjo, and it is 1200 yen (excluding tax). It was released in the summer, and I wanted to drink it, so I finally had a chance to buy it. I heard that they are selling this kind of sake to free up the tank of the original sake because the number of sake is not reduced as much as usual by the Corona disaster. It's nice that they named it "Together..." in the hope that everyone will get over the Corona disaster together, and the day will come when we can drink together again. It's also nice that they named it "Together. It tastes more bitter than the other Junmai Daiginjos from Kamikimoto. But, as expected of Kamikimoto. When you finish drinking it, you can't help but think how delicious it is. I drank it with oden, and it's good as a food sake. When I was drinking it while talking with my companion, one or two cups were gone in no time (^^)

Ikegatsu is made from "Hyakumangoku no Shiro", a sake rice developed by Ishikawa Prefecture. The logo of Hyakumangoku no Shiro is printed on the label. It is a little spicier than other sake breweries that use Hyakumangoku no Shiro. The spiciness comes first, but it goes away quickly. Delicious🎵!

The illustration of the cat on the label looks cute, so I bought the jacket. The explanation on the back says "People who like cats and sake are all good people" (^^) It's fruity, but the aftertaste is refreshing. Easy to drink! I drank too much of it! By the way, I'm a dog person. Maybe I'm not a nice person lol.

I'm looking forward to drinking it in summer every year. I was able to buy it again this year (^^). As the name suggests, when you pour it into a cup, it has a fizzy feeling and it is sizzling. The name makes me think that it is quite sweet. The taste is just the right balance of slightly sweet, making you think that it is. Delicious as always❗. Personally, I can't start the summer without drinking this (>_<)

The label of a small devil and the moon, and "Hakurosuishu" in the display are fairy-tale. The year before last, I bought the sake because the label and the product name "fairy" were cute and the sake rice "Yukigami" caught my interest, and I became a fan after drinking it (>_<) Last year, I couldn't buy it because it didn't fit the timing of the line at the liquor store I usually go to, but this year I was able to buy it❗. I thought it would be sweet from the name and the label, but it was refreshing and a little spicy. It's just the right flavor for me personally, and I can't stop tipping my cup. The feeling that captivates the drinker is truly a little devil (lol) I want to buy it again next year.

Tedorigawa's Junmai Daiginjo Namazake made with "Hyakumangoku no Shiro", a sake rice developed by Ishikawa Prefecture. We drank it last year, but this year, too, it has a good balance of spiciness, acidity, and fruity taste! It feels like it goes down your throat easily. Of all the sake made from Hyakumangoku no Shiro, Tedorigawa is the one that suits my taste best. I had it with the meat tofu with shichimi pepper (^^) delicious🎵!

I ran to the liquor store in March to buy the unfiltered, unpasteurized sake from Kamikimoto, the same company that produces "Sakewachi" and "Yone Label", which I look forward to every year. We opened the bottle with full expectation. The sweetness and umami of the rice lingered on my tongue for a while, and the ginjo aroma that came through the nose combined to create a really nice aftertaste and lingering taste! It's just like it's called "full-bodied". I'm becoming more and more a fan of Kamikimoto (^^)

This sake is brewed with natural lactobacillus acidophilus and brewer's yeast using a method called "Mizutakamoto" which was established in the Muromachi period. I bought it because of the sake degree -40. ...Yeah, it's like honey juice (lol). It's very sweet, but it's not too strong and tasty❗ According to the explanation of the liquor store where I bought it, it has enough sourness to be understood even if you say it's wine, so it goes well with sour dishes such as firefly squid with vinegared miso. So it goes well with sour dishes like firefly squid with vinegared miso. It's true, even if they say it's a sweet wine, you might believe it. It has a big impact when you drink it...(^^)

I drank it last spring and became a fan of Takeha's "Okunoto". I like the slightly sweet yogurt-like flavor that comes through the nose (^^) This sake is made with rice from Noto and yeast from seaweed from Noto. It was awarded the highest gold medal in the "Delicious sake in a wine glass award 2020". IWC (International Wine Challenge) 2020 Gold Medal in the category of Junmai-shu in the SAKE category. In addition, it was awarded the Regional Trophy for the best sake in the category. It has been highly evaluated in many places. Oh, it's delicious no matter how many times I drink it! It goes down my throat so easily!

This is the No.6 yeast version of the sake made by the same process with a different yeast from Yamamoto. It has a very simple label. It's been a while since I've had a sake from Akita Prefecture. Why is that? It's not really my hometown, but all the sake from Akita suits my taste (^^) And if it's the yeast of my personal hall of fame brand "Shinsei", I can't help but buy it (lol). It has a softer, sweeter, gentler taste in the mouth than other brands of sake, and I really like the flavor and taste.

No added yeast (brewer's yeast) Wood bucket brewing (new wood bucket) Sake mother Raw, unfiltered sake ...and 90% polished rice sake made using the same method as in the Edo period. The characteristic feature of this sake is that there is a hole in the lid to release gas. The lees are settled, so we drank both the supernatant as it is and the lees mixed in. Other people have described it as "rice juice", but well... Well... yeah, it's definitely juice. The one mixed with lees especially looks and tastes like "Carus Soda" (lol), but it's really easy to drink. I thought the rice was polished to 90% and that it would have a lot of miscellaneous flavors, but it tastes better than a bad Junmai Ginjo❗. I usually drink only one bottle of sake per night, but tonight is an exception. But tonight was an exception, because it was so delicious that the bottle was empty in less than five minutes.

It was named after the story of a flower blooming on a dead tree, with the hope that the harsh days will pass and the day when we can meet everyone with a smile will come soon (^^). I thought it would be quite dry because it has the highest sake content among the Yuho I've drunk so far, but the fruity feeling comes first, and afterwards, the clean spiciness goes through the nose. Just the right balance! I'm going to let it sit in the fridge for a bit and see if the taste changes.

The first sake of the new year was Junmai Daiginjo of Toyo Bijin. I was looking forward to opening the bottle from the end of the year (^^) It has a gorgeous fruity aftertaste. And the price is good. I think Toyo Bijin is a brand that belongs in my personal hall of fame.
