Kozaemon純米吟醸 備前雄町 パイルドライバー

Kozaemon Junmai Ginjo Bizen Omachi Pile Driver Kozaemon, from Gifu Prefecture, is a draft sake! After much thought about how to bottle the sake They say it's called "Pile Driver". (Please look up the details.) Slightly effervescent, with a strong aroma. More sweetness than acidity. The sharpness is good, but the sweetness remains a little. It is very good to drink immediately after opening the bottle. I wonder if it changes a little if you drink it again after a day. I expect it will become an interesting drink after the freshness of micro-foaming is gone... Such a good sake! Kozaemon, a good sake from Gifu, Japan

Kihon Crane I love it, Kifeng Crane Kihotsuru is a very low-polished, out-of-spec Yamadanishiki grape variety. The aroma is strong, almost grape-like. More acidity and umami than sweetness. The taste is broad and sharp, with a sense of rice. A little astringency is also felt. It is an interesting and good sake!

Kikumori Junmai Genmai Taxi Driver, No.6 Kikumori from Iwate Cab Driver is a famous(?) brand with impact. It is a well-known representative brand. It is said that the specs change with each brewing... This is brewing No.6 Rice is Kakehashi, Yeast is Kyokai No.6 The yeast is "Reimei Hiraizumi". Reimei Hiraizumi is... a unique koji mold in Iwate. The taste is well-balanced. Aroma is fresh, sweetness and acidity are good. And it finishes well. Sake that you will never get tired of drinking! It's like a good sake that you never get tired of drinking! I think it is better to drink it at room temperature rather than chilled to feel 120% of its full potential. I love Kikumori!

Mutsu Hachisen Houjyun Chou-Harai Special Junmai Sake Hi-ire Mutsu Hachisen, Aomori's delicious sake! Mutsu Hachisen's "mellow, super-harsh" sake is exactly what it sounds like! From the strong aroma... Slightly tangy and slightly effervescent, with more acidity than sweetness. Then, it gets sharp at once, and the astringency lingers in the aftertaste. I like it, the aroma is strong, but the taste doesn't drag so much, so it doesn't taste sluggish. It was a good sake.

Shoryu Horai Kimoto Jungin Omachi 60 R1BY Mellow, dry taste, Sake meter value +13 Omachi from Okayama Prefecture is used. It is delicious! I drank it at room temperature, and the aroma of the rice swelled up. Aroma of maturity, not old fragrance. When you put it in your mouth, it is a mass of goodness that mingles together. The aroma and taste are deep, but it has a very good pull. From chilled to room temperature to warmed. This sake changes its taste depending on the temperature range. Sake that can be enjoyed like Shinkame Shoryu Horai, Kanagawa Good sake.

Senzuke Junmai Ginjo ORIGARUMI Unfiltered Nama-shu Junmai Ginjo made with Senzuke from Hyogo and Yamadanishiki from Hyogo The mouthfeel starts with a slight effervescence, and the aroma is gorgeous. Sweetness and acidity spread on the palate. The aroma is strong, as you would expect from unfiltered, unpasteurized sake. I prefer to drink it after mixing with orikashi rather than drinking only the supernatant. The sweetness doesn't drag on, and it goes away with a little bit of astringency. It is a good sake that is not sluggish.

Naohiko Noguchi Laboratory Junmai Ginjo Unfiltered Nama Sake 2019 Vintage This is another fun sake... Junmai Ginjo Unfiltered Nama Nama Sake with a little bit of aging. It has a slight aroma that is typical of aging. The taste is well-balanced between umami and Hikariki, without being weirdly unpleasant. It is good at room temperature after being chilled, but it makes you wonder if you should go as far as heating up the sake. Is this the end of the line, or can it be expanded? It leaves the choice to the drinker. That's what I felt. This is the most enjoyable drink I've ever had

Junmai Ginjo Hirabayashi This sake is produced in Yamanashi by a company called Manya Jozo, which makes a sake called Haruyingtsuyuen in Yamanashi. Hirabayashi is a sake that preserves the terraced rice paddies in the Hirabayashi area of Fujikawa-cho and carries on the local sake brewing tradition. Hirabayashi" is a sake that values such culture. It's very well-balanced. Acidity comes from the aroma, sweetness, sharpness, and astringency. It goes straight into the mouth.

Zanko Hourai Tokubetsu Junmai Namazake Zancho Horai by Oyataka Shuzo in Kanagawa Shirokushiki" means "Shiro" in white malted rice. Because it is made with white koji, the acidity is very strong. The aroma is moderate and the aftertaste is refreshing. Sake with a refreshing sharpness that lingers in the mouth. I think it is more enjoyable in a glass than in a cup. It is the kind of sake that refreshes you on a slightly hot and humid day. It is a good sake!

Hanaboe 4-dan light nigori (unpasteurized) sake Sake brewing that liberates acidity. Miyoshino Brewery brews such a sake, Hanaboe I really like the pleasantness of this acidity. Usually sake is made in a three-stage brewing process. This is a four-stage brewing process. The sweetness comes out more strongly. It has a mild aroma, sweetness and acidity, and a wide range of umami from the sweetness of the four-stage brewing process. It has a richness that reminds one of brown sugar. The taste may be far from "sake-like", but it is a sake with different vectors of goodness that are well matched. It has sweetness and acidity. But you will never get bored of it! Hanaboe 4-step brewing It's a good sake.

Shinkame Junmai-shu GAMERA -Rebirth The label is so cool... I'm in love with the label... I'm in love with Shinkame's sake! This Gamera Shinkame is a blend of two types of aged sake I drank it from chilled to warmed temperature. As I thought, the goodness of Shinkame is released much more when it is warmed up! The aroma, sweetness, umami, and sharpness overflows! The sweetness is strong and gives the impression of "freshly cooked rice". Such a Gamera Kamikame! It is good to be sharp without pulling the sweetness out of it. As always, you can feel the depth of sake! It is a good sake!

Naohiko Noguchi Research Institute Kannon Shita This sake is called "Mature Sake" by Naohiko Noguchi Laboratory. According to the specs, it is a fire-aged version of Honjozo unfiltered unpasteurized sake. The aroma is a little less intense, and the sweetness, umami, and alcohol content are higher than the acidity. It's very good, and with this potential, it tastes like it won't fall apart even if it's heated up. A bottle that can be enjoyed cold or hot. It has a good balance of umami and sharpness, so please enjoy it in different ways depending on who you drink it with. It is such a good sake!

Naohiko Noguchi Institute Honjozo Unfiltered Nama Sake I was looking forward to drinking this sake from Naohiko Noguchi Laboratory. I thought it would be Junmai ......, but in a twist, I chose Honjozo Unfiltered Nama-shu! Honjozo Unfiltered Nama Sake by Mr. Noguchi! Is there any sake more exciting than this? The strong aroma and acidity are typical of unfiltered unpasteurized sake, while the sweetness is moderate. The sweetness is moderate. You can also feel the sharpness of the sake, which is typical of honjozo. And here, the "umami" is still there. From the image of a light, refreshing, everyday sake, it has become a very elegant sake. That's how it tastes! Honjozo sake that should be savored thoroughly. Interesting! It's a good sake.

Morai Junmai Shu Aomori sake. Mouthfeel with "strong slight effervescence", although there is a contradiction in the word. Good aroma and a noticeable acidity. And yet, the pull here is good. The fizziness and acidity are left on the tongue as it recedes.... This is addictive! Sake that is not "sweet and sour" but "slightly acidic How can I say, I want to enjoy another glass! That's the kind of sake I want to enjoy! Aomori no Morai It's a good sake!

Sogen Junmai Yamadanishiki Nama Shuzake Sogen Sake Brewery, you had a disaster, didn't you? We are still making sake in spite of all the hardships. I am filled with gratitude! I was expecting a strong aroma from the sake, but it wasn't like that. It had a fresh aroma and a good sweetness and umami. I learned that there is a difference between unfiltered nama-shu and nama-shu. This Sogen is good! It has a good balance, and although the sweetness may be strong, it has a good umami and a nice sharpness. This is a good sake! I want to enjoy this Sogen forever!

Seikagami "Takehara" Junmai-shu Sake from Hiroshima, Seikagami I like Hiroshima sake. Not strong aroma, loose sweetness and umami. Sake with a nice sharpness that does not drag. It's also great warmed up. This sake has the most potential at room temperature or slightly hotter than chilled. Good Hiroshima sake! There are many different kinds of sake to enjoy in Hiroshima! It's fun!
