Yamagata Masamune Amontillado 2017. A rich aroma of nuts and caramel produced by aging in sherry casks. A true Western wine. The wood vat feel is great too. There is also a vanilla feel and the sake goes with the cake like it's already a lie. It's delicious! Specs Brand Name: Yamagata Masamune Barrel Sake Amontillado 2017 Sake Brewer: Mitobe Sake Brewery Co. Here's what's great about it! The 2017 vintage means that the components of the barrels and the sake have become perfectly integrated over the years. Pairing suggestion: as you said, it goes great with gateau chocolates and cheesecake! Other luxurious ways to enjoy this sake are with nuts and, surprisingly, "a few drops on vanilla ice cream," which will bring out the full potential of this sake.

This season, it would also be great with fatty fish with a strong squeeze of lemon.

Transparency like water and sweetness like honey. Jyushidai Tokutei Omachi Shizukutori. The extremely polished and beautiful mouthfeel is overwhelmed by the mellow sweetness and dignified acidity that is typical of Omachi. It has no unwanted taste, which is only possible with "Shizukutori" pressed by gravity alone. It is delicious! Specifications Brand Name: Jyushiyo Tokutei Omachi Shizukutori, Doubottobirai, Ookyokami Morohaku Sake Brewer : Takagi Shuzo (Murayama City, Yamagata Prefecture) This place is great! The brewer uses 100% "Tokkodo Omachi" produced in Okayama Prefecture. The sake is then divided into 18-liter bottles called "tobin" and matured. Characteristics: It has the complex and powerful flavor typical of Omachi, but has been sublimated to a "water-like clarity" through Jyushiyo's unique techniques. Pairing Suggestion: For this beautiful sweetness and acidity, the best pairing would be "sweet shrimp sashimi" with its delicate sweetness, or "raw oysters (with a squeeze of lemon)" with its minerality. Since the sake is too beautiful, the best luxury is to keep the seasoning to a minimum!

Jyushidai Nakadori Chogoku. Pocari for adults. It goes in more smoothly than water, but the fruity sourness that comes afterwards is amazing. It is so easy to drink that 720ml of it disappears in an instant. Specifications Brand name: Jyushiyo Nakadori Junmai Daiginjo Chogoku Sake Brewer : Takagi Shuzo (Murayama City, Yamagata Prefecture) This place is amazing! This is a gem of a sake made from "Yamadanishiki" produced in the special A district of Hyogo Prefecture and polished to 35%. Among the "Nakadori", the "Chogoku" is made from carefully selected portions that ferment particularly vigorously. The unique sterilization and storage techniques used to produce this sake allow it to have both the freshness of a draft sake and the elegance of a daiginjo. Pairing suggestion: To take advantage of this "fruity acidity," scallop carpaccio or cold vegetables with a little fruit (peach or pear) would be an interesting combination. The potential of the sake itself is so high that it is a work of art that is complete on its own without any snacks!

The intense sweet-sourness of the Muscat class rushes in, but in the second half, a sharpness like a flash sweeps everything away. This gap between "dense flavor" and "super-fast withdrawal" is the quintessence of Jikin. Once you drink it, you will never go back. Specifications Brand name: Jikon Special Junmai Orikagarami Nama Sake Brewer : Kiyamasa Shuzo (Nabari City, Mie Prefecture) Here is what makes it so special! This is a super-fresh bottle, manufactured in December 2025. The rice composition is 80% Gohyakumangoku and 20% Yamadanishiki. The gorgeousness of Yamadanishiki and sharpness of Ihyakumangoku are perfectly combined by "ori". Pairing Suggestion: This "strong sharpness" is best served with dishes that have a slightly salty or mineral flavor. Oysters marinated in oil, crab miso, or, from the atmosphere of the snacks in the photo, saikyo-yaki grilled white fish, would pair perfectly with the sweetness of the oriki!

The red sashimi with a little drizzle of soy sauce also enhances the honey-like sweetness.

Motosaka Brewery's Talkin' Loud is too shocking. From the watery, ultra-clear entry, it bursts with a "bombastic" level of acidity that is hard to believe it is 13 degrees Celsius.

Shinsei Cosmos 2024. this "gentle sweetness and acidity" is the true essence of Kensho Shinko. It is not flashy, but has an overwhelming elegance. There is also a sense of pokari.

The soft sweetness derived from Akita Sake Komachi is perfectly led by the dignified acidity unique to the sake brewing process. The lightness of the low 13° alcohol content and the depth of the wooden vat coexist, and this is truly the standard and masterpiece of Shinmasa. Specifications Brand name: Aramasa Colors Ecru 2024 Sake Brewer : Shinmasa Shuzo Co. This is the best part! Aramasa uses Akita sake rice "Akita Sake Komachi" and brews it with the brewery's original "Rokugo-yeast", which embodies the philosophy of Aramasa. The traditional "sake yeast" and "wooden vat" brewing process, which does not add any acid, produces a complex, three-dimensional acidity. Pairing suggestion: This moderate acidity is an excellent match not only with Japanese food, but also with French and Italian food. Especially when paired with dishes with a little acidity, such as "Octopus Carpaccio" or "Chicken Sasami wrapped in Umeshiso (plum and shiso)," the sweetness of the sake will be enhanced!

Ultimate, delicious water. Yamagata Masamune's Akaban Omachi 2024 is amazing. The moment you take a sip, it is so clear that it gives the illusion that it is water. The moment you take a sip, you may think, "Is this water? Yet, as it fades away, the delicious flavor of the rice rushes in. This "sharpness like water" and "Omachi's underlying strength" co-star. Hats off to this sharp Japanese sword-like perfection. Specifications Brand name: Yamagata Masamune Junmai Ginjo Akaban Omachi 2024 Sake Brewer : Mitoobe Sake Brewing Company (Tendo City, Yamagata Prefecture) This is great! ： 100% "Akaban Omachi" produced in Akaban City, Okayama Prefecture, which is considered the finest of all Omachi varieties, is used. The "sharp sharpness" that is synonymous with the brewery is due to the use of mineral-rich hard water, and the freshness of the 2024 vintage is in perfect harmony with the complex flavor of Omachi. Pairing suggestion: Omachi's rich flavor goes well with fatty "teriyaki yellowtail" or "cold shabu pork with sesame sauce.

This is the "dynamite of flavor". This is a rare sake, "Ibi" Gin-sen, which is very difficult to obtain. The aroma is so intense that it seems to pierce through the nose. The overwhelming sense of concentration in the mouth is quickly followed by a burst of acidity and umami that is irresistible. The sense of unity is unique despite the gravity of 17 degrees Celsius. Specifications Brand name: Ibi Gin-Sen Unfiltered Nama-Shu BY7 Sake Brewer : Sugihara Shuzo (Ono-cho, Ibi-gun, Gifu) This is the best part! Ibi-no-Homare, a rice developed in-house, is used. It is said to be the smallest sake brewery in Japan, and is one of the "hardest to find sake in Japan" due to its extremely small production. The "cemedine taste" is due to an aroma component called "isoamyl ester" in technical terms. When it is strong, the aroma is sweet and punchy, like banana or melon. Imi has a prodigious balance between this aroma and a profound umami flavor. Pairing suggestion: Because the energy of the sake is so strong, it will not be overpowered by dishes with strong flavors. It pairs best with peculiar fermented foods such as saikyo yaki silverfish and blue cheese!

The finest Calpis soda for adults. Snowball, a collaboration between Sentori and UA, is again this year with a foul taste. It has a fresh gaseous sensation and a milky sweet and sour taste unique to nigori sake. The low alcohol content (13 degrees) makes it easy to drink, but the sharpness of the aftertaste is a quintessential Sentori. The bottle and the taste are both a mass of sense. If you find it, buy it immediately. Specifications Brand name: SENKIN by UNITED ARROWS "UA Snowman Sake Brewer: SENKIN Co. This place is amazing! ： Based on SENKIN's popular winter product "Yukidaruma", UNITED ARROWS, an apparel brand, was involved in the assemblage of this special model. It is extremely difficult to achieve this "clear sweet and sour taste" using low-polishing (95%) Yamadanishiki rice and the sake is made using the "nama-hashiroku" method. Pairing suggestion: Because of the good balance between nigori and acidity, this wine goes well with sweet and spicy Chinese dishes such as shrimp chili, or surprisingly, with junk snacks such as potato chips (Shiawase Bata~flavor)!

Asahi Sake Brewery's treasure, "Senshin". The lack of impurities is extraordinary, as the "Takananishiki" is polished to 28%. The attack has a slight yeast-derived aroma, or rather, the breath of fermentation. From there, it quickly shifts to a watery texture. The difference between the two is amazing. The ultimate highlight is the hint of aroma. In the transparency, a fresh fruitiness like lychee appears clearly, and it finishes brightly. This is a masterpiece that gives a sense of modernity that comes from the pursuit of "light and dry".
