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. Producer: Matsumoto Jyozo (Kyoto Prefecture) Rice used: 100% Gohyakumangoku Rice polishing ratio: 65 Fermentation: Undisclosed Alcohol content: 15%. Sake degree: +5.0 Acidity: Undisclosed Amino acidity: Undisclosed Volume: 720ml Price: 1,430 yen (tax included)

Introduction of Wakabayashi Brewery] Ueda City, Nagano Prefecture Founded in 1896, the brewery is located in Ueda City, Nagano Prefecture, and has a history of over 120 years. Currently, Mami Wakabayashi, the second daughter of the Wakabayashi family, brews sake as the toji. She decided to take over the brewery because she didn't want to lose the brewery she had loved since she was a child, so she studied and trained herself in sake brewing and started brewing sake in earnest in 2015. He is a promising young brewer with a bright future! Producer: Wakabayashi Jozo (Ueda City, Nagano Prefecture) Rice used: Miyamanishiki grown in Nagano Prefecture Rice polishing ratio: 55 Enzyme: Undisclosed Alcohol percentage: 16 Sake meter: -6.0 Acidity: 1.2 Amino acidity: 1.2 Volume: 720ml Price: 1,980 yen (tax included) (My impression after drinking it) It is said to be orikarami, but it is quite cloudy. It has a pineapple-like ginjo aroma. When you put it in your mouth, you will feel a slight tingling sensation on your tongue, and it tastes more like green apple than pineapple. A moderate bitterness lingers in the throat. It has the fruity, sweet and sour, low-alcohol taste that is so popular these days.

Junmai Hon Dry Brewing uses unique fermentation techniques to create a deep flavor with a refreshing crispness. It is crisp and tight when served chilled, and its flavor is even brighter when heated. It is a dry junmai sake with a good sharpness that will appeal to sake connoisseurs. The "makazashi" is a sharp little sword used mainly by fishermen in Sakata, Yamagata Prefecture. It is considered to be a good luck charm to ward off evil because it cuts off evil. It is also recommended as a sake for celebrating the New Year and to drive away evil spirits.

In the mouth, it is neutral in sweetness and spiciness, with a lingering sweetness and slight bitterness. According to the sake tasting master, the sake level should be +2 or +3.

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.

The taste in the mouth is also muscat. This sake has both the fruity and juicy characteristics that have become popular recently. The elegant fruity aroma is followed by the delicious taste of rice. There are no hints of other flavors. It is a sake that shows that it has been carefully produced. It is easy to understand why some places rate it No. 1 in the popularity ranking in Miyagi Prefecture.

Against the backdrop of Izumigaoka Hill, which towers over the northwestern edge of Sendai, cute seals and penguins welcome you! Katsuyama ICE VALLEY" is newly released by Katsuyama Shuzo, perfect for midsummer. 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. It has a strong flavor when chilled and drunk straight, and a light and refreshing flavor when drunk on the rocks with ice! (My impression after drinking it) It has a ginjo aroma even when chilled. It has a slight yellow tinge. In the mouth it has an elegant sweetness and bitterness. There is not much acidity. The alcohol content is low, so it is easy to drink. It is a summer sake brewed by Katsuyama, and is priced at 1,600 yen for 500 ml, which translates to 2,300 yen for a four-pack, so it is expensive.

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.

In the mouth it has a ginjo taste with a clear and elegant umami acidity. What is the aroma that lingers on the nose? Banana or muscat? No, it is not. The ginjo aroma is not that strong. That is why I described it as elegant on first impression. It is clean and dry, but leaves a slight sweetness in the aftertaste. I drank half of the bottle before I realized that. Anyway, the conclusion was that it was a delicious sake. As one would expect from Asahi Shuzo, the brewer of Kubota.

Fresh grapefruit and young grass-like aroma. The transparent sweetness of green apples is tightly controlled by the acidity of lime and other citrus fruits, and lightly moistens the throat.

A junmai sake with the words of an existing letter from Ryoma Sakamoto on the label. It is a very dry junmai sake brewed by Shibotan Shuzo. On the label are the words of a letter written by Ryoma Sakamoto to his sister, Otome, when he was the head of a naval academy under Kaishuu Katsu, which reads, "I want to make a fresh start in Japan. It is a light, dry junmai sake with a strong, robust flavor, but with a refreshing finish. Why don't you think about Ryoma's ambition while drinking this light and dry junmai sake, which is typical of Tosa's local sake?
