Fusano Kankiku電照菊純米大吟醸原酒生酒無濾過おりがらみ

まさし
Satisfaction: ★★★★★ I always buy the red one of Kangiku. When the bottle is opened, it has a fruity aroma that is typical of Kangiku. When you put it in your mouth, the apple-like aroma and mango-like sweetness pops out, followed by sourness, and it wears off quickly. There is no sawdust smell. The bubbles are so strong that they stick to the inside of the sake cup, yet there is almost no bitterness. It is wonderfully delicious. And you will never get tired of drinking it. It can be used as a food sake without any problem. However, it has a stronger umami than the food, so it tastes as good as the food.

Satisfaction level ★★★☆☆☆☆ I usually drink junmai or junmai ginjo, but I tried the highly reputed Genmai honjozo. When the bottle is opened, the aroma is typical of Kawanakajima Genmai. However, it is much milder than the junmai ginjos we have had. In the mouth, the mild aroma of Genmai is followed by a slight bitterness and a sharp sharp finish. The taste is not strong but light. It is also dry. It is suitable for people who have enjoyed sake for a long time. I still prefer Kawanakajima Genmai to Junmai Unfiltered Genshu. Maybe I should have bought the Omachi. However, for the price, it is quite tasty and the best value for money. Again, we went to Yamazakiya in Eifukucho.

Satisfaction: ★★★★☆ Little aroma on opening the bottle. Some sawdust smell makes me a little uneasy. When you put it in your mouth, it is sweet and sour. The aroma of apple and sweetness is strong and rich. The acidity gives it a nice sharpness. There is almost no bitterness. It is honestly delicious. The sawdust smell is not bothersome when drinking. When used as a food sake, the bitterness can be felt a little, but it is not bothersome. It is attractive for its good balance that you can drink it alone without getting tired of it.

Fusano KankikuIdentity2024 総の舞 うすにごり純米大吟醸原酒生酒無濾過

まさし
Satisfaction level ★★★☆☆☆☆ I tried Kangiku which I bought a while ago. The aroma that rises when the bottle is opened is subdued. It has a cloudy white color and strong effervescence. When you sip it, you will feel a moderate sweetness, a strong sourness, and a strong bitterness, and it will be sharp. The acidity and bitterness are so strong that it is like lemon squash. It is not clear whether the bitterness comes from the sake or the foam. The sweetness and umami are modest for a Kangiku, and it falls short of expectations. It is a completely different direction from Silver Lining, which is made from the same sake rice.

まさし
Satisfaction: ★★★★☆ I went to Kamoshita Sake Shop in Fuchu City, which I had been curious about for a while. There were so many liquors I had never seen before. I was so impressed by the sake I had received from a person in Kyoto before that I decided to buy it. The last time I had a bottle was KOCHI, but this time I went for Aizan. When the bottle was opened, it had a sweet apple-like aroma. The mouthfeel was smooth and clean after the strong sweetness and umami. There is no sourness or bitterness. It is sweet, but not too sweet. It is like a low acidity chrysanthemum. The umami is complex and delicious. It is better as an aperitif than as a mid-meal drink because of its bitterness. The label is cool, and the taste is likely to be popular with everyone. It has none of the sawdust smell that is common in Kansai-style sake. I wonder how many kinds of sake there are in the Kanzou lineup alone. I can't try all of them, and I am looking forward to visiting Kamoshita to try some sake I haven't had yet. It seems they also have a kaku-uchi (corner bar), but unfortunately I have to go there by car.

Satisfaction: ★★★★★ Sweet aroma upon opening the bottle. In the mouth, it has a strong sweetness, and it finishes with a hint of sourness and bitterness, but the umami flavor remains on the tongue. There is no sawdust smell. It is delicious as a food sake and does not interfere with meals. It has enough sweetness, but not too much. It is exquisitely delicious. It had been recommended on the Sake-no-wa app for a long time, but I could not find a bottle of No. 4 and missed out on buying it. I had expected to like this sake because it is made from Miyamanishiki in Nagano Prefecture, but it tastes even better than I expected. I would recommend it even to sake beginners.

まさし
Satisfaction: ★★★★☆ Sweet aroma upon opening the bottle. When you put it in your mouth, you will feel fresh and vigorous sweetness, acidity, and a little bitterness that will finish you off. It has a heavy sweetness like tropical fruits and a rough aftertaste. The freshness is different from both Yamadanishiki and Omachi. It has a complex umami. What is good is good. But why do I feel something is missing? When used as a food sake, the bitterness is a bit bothersome.

まさし
Satisfaction: ★★★★☆ I had a glass of Akamu's Sake Mirai, which I had purchased some time ago. When the bottle is opened, the aroma is sweet and tropical. In the mouth, the tropical aroma, thickening, and clear sweet flavor spread, followed by a soft acidity and finally a rough bitterness that quickly dissipates. It reminds me a little of Jyushiyo and is delicious. It is also good as an aperitif, but it has a bit too much umami and interferes a bit with the meal, and it has a rough aftertaste, so it gets one point less. I have had Sake Mirai from many different breweries, and all of them are delicious. Once again, Sake Mirai may be great.

Satisfaction: ★★★★★ We had a bottle of Yamadanishiki that we bought at Yamazakiya in Eifukucho a while ago. When the bottle was opened, the aroma of fruitiness wafted through the air. The moment it enters the mouth, the sweetness and umami spread, and the acidity and slight bitterness finish it off. There is no sawdust smell. The sweetness and flavor and aroma are like ripe grapes. It is delicious! I said out loud. The Omachi I drank before this was a little difficult to taste, but this Yamada-Nishiki is easy to understand. It tastes a little bitter when used as a food sake, but it is not strong. I would recommend it to anyone.

Satisfaction: ★★★★★ We had a bottle of Kawanakajima Genmai Omachi, which impressed us the most last year. Melon aroma upon opening the bottle. The sweetness and complex strong umami rush into the mouth, and it finishes with acidity. It is delicious with complex umami! I said out loud. It had been a while since I had tasted Genmai, but it was as delicious as ever. It is good to drink as an aperitif. It would be better to drink it as an aperitif. This time, I bought three kinds of sake rice at the same time: Omachi, Yamadanishiki, and Miyamanishiki, so I am looking forward to comparing their tastes. I am worried about my physical exam on the 16th, though.

Satisfaction: ★★★★☆ There was a warning about the lid flying off when opening the bottle, but I didn't feel any force pushing the stopper, probably because it was chilled to a crisp. The aroma was not very strong at the start. When you put it in your mouth, you are hit with a strong acidity along with a fruity aroma. The sweetness and umami followed, and then a slight smell of sawdust made the wine finish. It has a strong acidity and an emerald green image. It has a mild aroma like Suitama. The bitterness and sawdust smell are a bit bothersome when used as a food sake, but it is not a bad match. It is not boring to drink, and I have the impression that it is rather suitable as a food sake.

まさし
Satisfaction: ★★★★☆ I was wondering if I would like it because it is similar to Kangiku, and I was curious about Seishuzo. I have had Short-stalked Watabune before, but Shiga Watabune was the first rice I had ever had. When the bottle was opened, it had a fruity aroma, but I think it was weaker than that of Kangiku. It was so fresh that the inside of the sake cup was covered with bubbles. In the mouth, there is a moderate sweetness, followed by a moderate acidity. The flavor is complex and delicious. It is like an Omachi sake. It is the type of sake that can be drunk with gusto. When used as a food sake, it tastes a little bitter, but not so much that it bothers you. It is a delicious sake that has been the talk of the town recently. It certainly has umami and sweetness, and is a little like Kangiku. It is said to be from a different lineage from Short-stalked Boat, but it has a complex flavor like the Omachi lineage, and it never gets old. Koyama Shoten's Sei Shuzo has so many varieties on tap that it is very difficult to choose which one to drink. Of course, I could ask the staff, but even if I don't like it, I want to test my intuition.

まさし
Satisfaction: ★★★★★ A fruit aroma typical of chrysanthemum. It has a sweet citrus aroma like Kiyomi. The fine bubbles on the inside of the sake cup are also typical of Kangiku. The sweetness, sourness, and umami continue in the mouth, followed by a sharp finish with no bitterness. It is so delicious that there is nothing more to say. The image is not tropical, but sweet citrus. It is not too sweet, but has a good umami and moderate acidity. It is probably best as an aperitif, as it tastes a little bitter when served with food. Silver Lining" means "a ray of hope in the midst of adversity. It is a very nice sake.

Satisfaction: ★★★★★ We went to Sake Masaruya in Machida to try Miyakanbai, which Sakewa recommends as similar to Jyushidai. When the bottle is opened, it has a sweet aroma. In the mouth, strong sweetness, umami, and sourness rush in, and it is crisp without bitterness. It is delicious! Even when used as a food sake, it is delicious with food and sake without bitterness or other unpleasant tastes. Is it like a Jyushidai? I have a slightly different impression. Jyushidai is a bit more emerald-like or greenish melon-like, but this Miyakanbai is not melon-like. It shares the same sweet and sour taste with Jyushiro, but I think this sweet and sour taste is more similar to Kangiku's. It is sweet but sour. It is sweet but has a sourness that keeps you from getting tired of drinking it. The price of 3300 yen including tax for a jun-dai of this quality is a great value. It is a pity that I could not find it in Sendai even though I have been there many times.

まさし
Satisfaction level ★★★☆☆☆☆ Sake-no-wa app recommended this wine, so I went to "Sake-no-Masaruya" in Machida to buy it. When the bottle is opened, it has a light sweet aroma and a slightly bitter flavor. In the mouth, it has a light sweetness, strong umami, strong acidity, and bitterness, and it finishes quickly. It is like a ripe ruby grapefruit without the aftertaste. The umami is strong and crisp with a strong flavor. The impression does not change at all even if it is served as a food wine. It is delicious. However, there is something a little lacking. If it is meant to be drunk as a mealtime drink rather than as a stand-alone sake, would it be a good match for Nagasaki food? I've never had it before, so I don't know what Nagasaki's seasoning is.

Satisfaction: ★★★★☆ It is sweet and sour like Kamerei. The sweetness and umami are sufficient, and the acidity is strong and does not linger. It has a ginjo aroma, but I can't think what kind of fruit it is. It tastes a little bitter when used as a food sake, but it is not bothersome. As always, Shinshu Kamerei is beautiful and delicious. The aftertaste is refreshing considering the strength of the sweetness and acidity, and it may be a little lacking for those who love sweet and sour tastes, but it is recommended for everyone.

Satisfaction: ★★★★☆ This is a white malted rice sake which we had last year. It has a sweet aroma when the bottle is opened. When you put it in your mouth, it is sweet and the sourness comes and goes. It has a slightly rough texture and the aroma of koji goes into the nose. The aroma of white koji is faintly felt. It is delicious. It tastes like calpis with white koji. It tastes a little bitter when used as a food sake, but it is delicious. The label, which has never been seen before, is a bit disappointing. I hope to see a label like a diary like the ones we have seen so far.

Satisfaction: ★★★★☆ When the bottle is opened, it has a sweet fruit aroma. It has a strong sweetness and umami, moderate acidity, and a slight bitterness. The sweetness is strong, but the strong effervescence makes it feel light without leaving a sticky residue. The sweetness is not as clear and distinct as that of Kangiku, but rather moderate, as if it was intended to be a food sake. As usual, Abe-san never fails to deliver. The last time I had the pink one was in 2021, but it seemed to be a little different.

Fusano Kankiku愛山50-Red Diamond-純米大吟醸原酒生酒無濾過

まさし
Satisfaction: ★★★★★ This is the first Red Diamond in two years, and the label is red like the Girls' Festival. When the bottle is opened, it has a fruity aroma like Kangiku. The sake has a small bubble on the top of the bottle. When you sip it, the strong sweetness is followed by sourness, which is quickly cut off. The balance of aroma, sweetness and acidity is strawberry-like. It is like strawberry juice, but it has a nice sharpness, so you can't help but drink it in gulps. I don't know if the flavor is different depending on the year or the lot, but it tastes like strawberry, not apple as it did three years ago. When used as a food sake, it has a bitter aftertaste. It seems to be best as an aperitif, which is unusual for Kangiku. Whether it is Denshogiku or True Red, he seems to prefer red labels. I know without a doubt that they are delicious, so I try sake that I don't know even if it is off the beaten path, but sometimes I want to go back to Kangiku. I find myself drinking Kangiku the most because it is available at Koyama Shoten.
