The acidity is noticeable, but the sake finishes cleanly. Apple flavor. It is a little far from my taste, but it is good for drinking at an izakaya.

The Yamahai style sake. Complex acidity with the flavor of a classic sake. Interesting. Nice.

千代壽純米辛口 しぼりたて生酒 直汲み おりがらみ

Fruity, with a bit of acidity and gas. A little bit of umami also comes through. Sake from Yamagata is also fun to dig out.
It's not so much dry as just plain delicious.

Tomorrow is my day off. So I will drink.
My usual store recommendation. Looks like strawberry yogurt from the color. It is milky, mild and creamy. But also a little bitter, sweet and bitter. This is the fun part of sake 🍶.

帰山純米大吟醸生原酒 直汲み ExtraEdition

Really refreshing and fruity. Pear, lychee? Then comes the sweetness, and it's clean and crisp. It's not full-bodied, but that's also good. When do you want a full-bodied wine? It is difficult.

津島屋純米吟醸無濾過生 八反錦おりがらみ
toudokougen
Tsushimaya at the usual restaurant. Peachy sweetness with a firm umami and full-bodied flavor, and a bit bitter and sharp. It has the stability typical of Tsushimaya.
The aroma and umami are stronger, perhaps because it is unfiltered Hachitan-Nishiki. 🙆♂️

Bunrakuリボーン 特別純米無濾過生原酒
toudokougen
Kitanishi Shuzo has been very active in Sairai recently. Bunraku is also very well made.
I thought it would be characterized by bitterness, but it has a strong acidity and umami flavor, with only the chocolate flavor lingering.
For children who do not like bitterness, this kind of sake is very favorable.

津島屋外伝 特別純米 無濾過生 「北の風」
toudokougen
I was exhausted from a series of meetings at work and went to my favorite izakaya.
I look at the lineup and see an unusual sake from Tsushimaya! I ordered it and found it was Ginpu! Yup, it's Ginpu!
The first sip had a strong lychee/grape type sweet and sour taste! It reminds me of "Beau Michel" in some way. But it is not that strong. And, unusually for Tsushimaya, there is a little lingering aftertaste. It is not too strong though. Tsushimaya's typical goodness shines through. I have become a fan of Tsushimaya recently.

The theory is that the 14yo is delicious, but not enough for me. I wonder what it is. The balance is very good, but I want something more peculiar. I'm in a troublesome old age.

This year's Soga has a good No. 1 yeast! I'm enjoying the unique flavor!

Oh, wow! This is another interesting sake. It has a rich muscat and lychee aroma and sweetness. It also has a certain umami flavor that lingers on the palate, but it's not quite sharp.
It is said to be made from 2022, so I'll be keeping an eye on it from here on out!

This is another unusual sake! Lychee type aroma, fruity sweetness and umami. There is gas. Nice and refreshing with no aftertaste. A little citrusy.

The first drink at hmc, which I have always wanted to visit, was a Yamawa.
The bitter taste was a little strong, but when the coldness disappeared a little, it became a mysterious apple-like full-bodied delicious taste. It is refreshing and clean. It is a mysterious sake.

Hanaabiさけ武蔵 純米大吟醸 無濾過生原酒
toudokougen
Sake Musashi" is a sake brewing rice produced in Saitama. It was only sold once this year.
What would happen if it was combined with Hanahayo? More than the aroma, there was a strong sense of sweetness and flavor, especially a moderate rice-derived sweetness that rode well. The aroma was also faintly pineapple. I think this is the best Hanahyangbau this year, and I also think that Hanahyangbau needs to be set aside for a while 😎.

Kametaya Shuzo, the same brewer as Alps Masamune. The alcohol content is as high as 21 degrees! Surprising! But it is not too strong, and I felt that the mildness of Alps Masamune was made crisp and clean by the alcohol content. It would go well with fish.

アルプス正宗無濾過純米生原酒

I thought it would be empty because of the snow, but it was more crowded than I expected!
A little creamy at first, but then the richness comes and it's clean and crisp. There is also a little acidity. If you check it carefully, you will find a hint of melon-like ginjo aroma. It is delicious.

It's a little rich, but it's like water. Maybe because I was tired, I couldn't taste much.

It sinks into your tired body. It's a little full-bodied, and the umami makes you feel the sake. I may have to keep some sake with a little punch at home for when I'm tired.

I was told it was made by the same brewery as Hanamup and similar, but it still lacked a little something! I miss the gutsy feeling of Hana Yuu. It's similar, but different.
