Here is a chart diagram for my own drinking comparison. Please let me know if you think it is wrong! Please let me know if you have any opinions. (My impression of the drink) It looks clear and colorless. The aroma is slightly sweet and calm. The first thing you notice on the palate is the acidity. Next, there is a fruity aroma reminiscent of sweet fruit, even though it is dry. The sake has a sharp taste. I compared it with Suitama at the same time, and found that Tobiroki has a more refreshing flavor. The dryness of Tobiroki remains the same even when the temperature rises to room temperature. Suitama has a stronger sweetness at room temperature. Suitama is a product where the umami of the rice can also be felt. Producer: Hiroki Sake Brewery (Sakashita-machi, Fukushima) Rice used: Gohyakumangoku Koji rice: Yamadanishiki produced in Kitakata Polishing ratio:55 Enzyme:Not disclosed Alcohol percentage: 16.8 Sake meter: +3.0 Acidity: 1.5 Amino acidity: Undisclosed Volume: 1,800ml Price: 3,190 yen (tax included)

Suiyaku" means "emerald." Producer: Ryoseki Shuzo (Yuzawa City, Akita Prefecture) Rice used: Dewasanbana from Yamagata Prefecture Rice polishing ratio: 50 Fermentation: In-house cultivation Alcohol percentage: 15 Sake meter: -6.8 Acidity: 1.3 Amino acidity: Not disclosed Volume: 1,800ml Price: 3,520 yen (tax included) (My impression after drinking it) There seem to be two types of sake: unfiltered and unfiltered. I drank the latter. It has a slight yellowish taste. The ginjo aroma is quite pleasant. In the mouth, there is an umami taste of rice, followed by a sweet and sour fruit flavor. What is it? It tastes slightly of lychee and white peach. It is not a dull taste. Hana Yuu is a more mellow sake from the same Ryogoku brewery, while Suitama has a more elegant taste that is more suited for a medium-bodied sake. As the temperature rises near room temperature, the sweetness becomes stronger. The sake level is -6.8. I was convinced.

I drank it heated. (My impression after drinking it) It has a clear yellowish taste. The aroma smells of alcohol. When you put it in your mouth, you are flooded with a strong acidity and the deep umami of rice unique to Shinkame. The rice flavor comes in afterwards. When heated, the depth of the full-bodied flavor becomes more pronounced, making it the most delicious sake. This is something else.

(My opinion after drinking it) Yuri" is brewed by the female toji of Aizu Nakasyo. I wanted to try this sake. It looks clear and colorless. It has a slight ginjo aroma.

Sawaya-Matsumoto's popular "Shuhari" and "Moribari Series" started with this sake. The root of the "Moribari Series" is "Moribari Junmai-shu", and Sawaya Matsumoto's signature product has been renewed! It has been reborn as "Moribari Gohyakumangoku! Here is a brief introduction to the term "Mori-Ba-Ri". Mamoru" = to protect tradition. Breaking" = to break with tradition and put into practice what one has learned from others. Ri" = to cherish both "Mamoru" and "Batsu", and to break away from them to create a new world. (My impressions after drinking it) This is my first time drinking Sawaya Matsumoto from Kyoto. It looks clear and colorless. No ginjo aroma. It is dry and crisp on the palate. There is not much acidity and it has a nice sharpness through the throat. Compared to Aizu Nakasyo's "Yuri," this one has more lingering sweetness.

Currently, Mami Wakabayashi, the second daughter of the Wakabayashi family, brews sake as the toji.

The mouthfeel is very soft. The palate is filled with a dense sweetness and fruity flavor, along with the gaseous sensation that only a freshly brewed sake can provide. The light acidity in the back of the mouth forms the outline of the flavor. The rich aftertaste lingers for a long time after the smooth, rounded sweetness and umami is swallowed, and it is truly superbly pleasant. Ingredients: Rice, rice malt Miyamanishiki" rice produced in Miyagi Prefecture Polishing ratio] 55 Alcohol content】15度 Sake meter] +1 Acidity] 1.5 Price】3,300 yen Miyakanbai is made using the "ginjo-zukuri" method, in which polished rice is fermented at a low temperature for a long time. Although the raw material is rice, it is the ginjo-zukuri method that gives the sake its fruity and gorgeous aroma. In addition, since the sake is not heat-treated at all, the fresh and fruity aroma inherent in the sake is preserved. This freshly squeezed orikarami sake has a sweet aroma like that of freshly ripened fruit. We recommend that you close your eyes and enjoy this mellow aroma slowly and intoxicatingly before drinking.

Rice: Miyamanishiki, Akita Sake Komachi Polishing ratio: 60 Sake meter degree: -18 Acidity: 3.2 Alcohol percentage: 14 Yeast used: Association No. 77 Storage method: Refrigeration required It was so good that I bought another bottle the next day. (My impression after drinking it) I remember that it is a brewery that stores sake in a closed mine. Tobirazumi is a sake brewery in Akita, I remember it is stored in a closed mine. The Tobirazumi I bought today is a nigori sake with a sake level of -15, which makes it a very sweet sake. When I opened the bottle and poured it into a glass, it smelled of citrus fruits. At first I thought it might be grapefruit. The taste in the mouth is sweet and sour and fruity. I realize it is not grapefruit, but apple sourness. I looked at the yeast and saw that it was Association 77 yeast. I was impressed that this is the yeast that produces malic acid. It tastes a bit pungent on the tongue. This is a delicious sake. It seems to be sold in limited quantities, so it is not a sake that can be drunk all year round. We are grateful for this new encounter! I mistakenly identified it as Kazuno Meishu K.K., a sake brewery in Kazuno that stores sake in the copper mine tunnels in Oosazawa.

Katsuyama ICE VALLEY is characterized by its dry and rich flavor, which is a far cry from the usual Katsuyama's gorgeous aroma and full-bodied sweetness.

Limited distribution, limited quantity A challenging sake brewed by going back to the basics of sake brewing! The rice is polished to 70% using Kame-no-o, which brings out the flavor of the rice and produces a dry, crisp Junmai sake. Sake Brewer : Matsuzaki Shuzo (Ten-ei-mura, Fukushima Prefecture) Alcohol content: 16%. Rice type : Kame-no-o Rice polishing ratio: 70%. Sake degree: +2.0 to +5.0 Acidity: 1.4 Amino Acid: Undisclosed Price : 720ml 1,575 yen (tax included) (My impression after drinking it) Slightly yellowish in appearance. The ginjo aroma has a fruity flavor even when cooled to the touch. In the mouth, the modest but firm umami of rice and acidity are fully assertive. The aroma of lychee-like fruit runs down the throat. It must be sweet. The umami of the rice is firm, but reserved, making it ideal as an in-meal sake. As one would expect from a junmai sake, it has no unpleasant taste.
