Yamazan Junmai Daiginjyo Yamae-Nishiki 40%5% Light Nigori Nama-Shu Rating 4.4 The taste is a "light nigori" with a slight effervescence that gives the impression that the rice has been thoroughly dissolved in water, and is characterized by a very deep freshness that is typical of this brewery. The fruity flavor starts with a refreshing taste of "mint," which is unique to the rice used to make it, and continues with a deep "melon" flavor. The balance between roundness and freshness is good, but the convergence may be a little bitter.

Koei Kiku Twilight Orange Hi-iri Rating 4.3-4.4 Rice : Domestic, Polishing ratio : Undisclosed, Alcohol content : 13%. This year, "Tasogare Orange", which has a citrusy taste like orange peel or grapefruit, is available again. The crisp and resilient extract of Kouei Kiku is best matched with a citrus aroma and a fresh, shwashy feeling! Toji's comment The nose is reminiscent of passion fruit. The nose is reminiscent of passion fruit, and the strong saccharification of the sake during unrefining gives it a dark citrus flavor, like 100% orange juice when you close your eyes. After the sweetness, a pleasant bitterness and grapefruit-like acidity round out the lingering taste. Light and easy to drink, but with a production date of 2025.3, it has been aged for some time, and because of the low alcohol content, it has a slightly rundown feel. Lactic acidity is also slightly noticeable. When lukewarm, the tartness fades and the passion orange flavor comes through nicely.

O-Mine 3 grains Hiyashi Oroshi Yamadanishiki Rating 4.5-4.4 Rice: Yamadanishiki, Polishing: 60%, B.A.: 14.5 After one summer of aging, it has gained roundness and umami in flavor. It has an impressive aroma of sweet and sour Muscat-like fresh freesia, with a full flavor and acidity derived from the rice, and a silky smooth texture. In addition, the minerality derived from the brewing water brings a lingering finish with depth and profundity. It has a nice roundness and mellowness. A slight sense of freshness is also felt despite the maturity of the wine. The juicy dryness of the convergence is also favorable. After a few hours, it becomes more rounded. In that case, it can be easily matched with slightly heavier dishes.

Fresh and fruity despite being fire-aged. The aroma is sweet strawberry-like, with a hint of pineapple. The mouthfeel is full of minerality and a sense of transparency. There is a gaseous feeling typical of new sake, and it finishes dry and crisp. I wonder if the flavor has been further enhanced by letting it sit for a while.
