Gunma Sake Machida Shuzo Junmai Ginjo 55 Yamadanishiki Machida Shuzo is a sake brewery that I often hear about these days. I happened to find a store that sold it, so I bought it. It has a sake level of -1 and an alcohol content of 16 degrees. The aroma is citrusy, with more acidity than sweet and sour. The bitterness that comes after drinking seems to go well with various dishes as a food sake. Is the strong acidity similar to that of modern Senkou?　After drinking various kinds of sake, I have come to realize that I may not like sake with strong acidity and a tangy taste.

Ibaraki Sake Sakura Sho Junmai Daiginjo This is "Sakura Sho" made by Urasato Sake Brewery. Usually sake is made from rice dedicated to sake (Omachi or Yamadanishiki), but this sake is made from Milky Queen edible rice produced in Ami, Ibaraki Prefecture. The yeast is a flower yeast isolated from "Princess Michiko. This sake is unusual for Urasato Sake Brewery, which mainly uses Ogawa yeast. The aroma is gorgeous because of the flower yeast. It has a gentle sweetness and a sourness that comes from the sweetness. Even though it is made from edible rice, there is no cloying taste at all and it disappears nicely. It is delicious! It is a limited edition, so it is hard to find, but I hope you will try it. Degree of liking 10/10

Akita Sake Hanamaru Rikuwada Nama Sake This is Hanamup, as always. Kai-san of SakeLabo ranked it 10th on his list of hard-to-find sake, and I am happy that there is a distributor near me. This year, my goal is to complete the entire Hanamup series, so I went to buy some as soon as I checked the SNS. Hanayu is only sold in 1-sho bottles, so it's hard to store them. Sometimes they offer four-pack bottles, so I buy them when I find them. The sake rice, Rikuwada, was cultivated by the chairman of Jyushiyo, Mr. Takagi, and is grown in small quantities. It is precious. The sake level is drier than the other Hanayuup varieties, with a gorgeous sweetness that is quickly followed by a sourness. While the sourness is still in the mouth, the sweetness doubles when you take another sip of Hanayuup. It is a sake that makes you feel that it is delicious. Degree of liking 10/10

Sake from Iwate SHISORA Junmai Ginjo Hatsushibori Gohyakumangoku This is a sake from Iwate. It is a limited brand of Japanese sake launched in 2021 by Shiwa Shuzo, a brewery in Shiwa Town, and is not well known, but it is a modern sake. This sake is made with Iwate yeast "Giovanni no Chikusa" and rice "Gohyakumangoku. As a Kenji Miyazawa lover, the name "Giovanni no Chosasen" is perfect. After I bought it, I noticed that this sake was made in February 2022. It has aged quite well at the liquor store. So please use this sake's rating only as a reference. When you open the package, you will find a gentle fruit aroma. It tastes slightly sweet and sour in the mouth. The sweetness is stronger than the sourness. The yeast called "Giovanni's Research" does not seem to produce much sourness, and it may be like the "Ogawa Yeast" from Ibaraki Prefecture. It has a good mouthfeel and disappears quickly, which may be similar to Raifuku or Urasato. It is not gorgeous, but it is easy to drink because it is not alcoholic and has a gentle mouthfeel. It is delicious! Next time, I would like to try the new sake. Degree of liking 10/10

Ibaraki Sake Hikoichi Arago Unfiltered Nama This sake is made by the Tsuki no I Sake Brewery in Oarai-cho, Ibaraki Prefecture. Recently, Getsui Sake Brewery was featured on NHK (Japan Broadcasting Corporation) and became well known. All the sake rice is made in Oarai. The aroma is only slightly fresh. It is fresh, but has a traditional bitterness and alcohol taste. This is not my favorite sake. I tried heating it up with some freshly bought chirori. The freshness and the alcohol feeling disappeared, and the taste became more rounded. It seems to go well with strong flavored snacks. I was going to drink it at a camping trip with a friend who likes dry sake, but it was postponed. Too bad. Degree of liking 6/10

I was interested in this sake because Tenryohai Sake Brewery was featured in a DANCYU sake book. When I drank it, I found a subtle ginjo aroma and a gentle sweetness. It has a strong acidity and is refreshing. I had been drinking Hanayu, Hououmida, and Eikoufuji, all of which have a fruity flavor, so this kind of light and refreshing sake was new to me. The alcohol content is 14.5 degrees, so it is easy to drink as a food sake. It is similar to Morishima, a sake produced in Ibaraki. It is recommended for those who prefer dry sake.

Yamagata Sake Eikofuji Sake Mirai Junmai Daiginjo Unfiltered Nama-shu This is a sake from Yamagata. I can't find Eikoufuji anywhere near me, so I go to a liquor store about 50 km away to buy it. Sake Mirai is the name of the rice used to make sake, which is produced in Yamagata. There is a version made from Sake Mirai in Hanamamu as well. Eikoufuji has many versions, and most of them are made in a very labor-intensive way: unfiltered raw sake. The taste of Eikoufuji's Sake Mirai is refreshingly sweet, like strawberry, and it disappears easily without any cloying taste. Even though it has a sake level of -10 degrees, there is no dullness to the sweetness. It is light and easy to continue drinking. This is the first time I have had Eiko Fuji, and it tastes great. I would like to drink the various versions that come out each month. Degree of liking 10/10

Sake from Wakayama, Japan Kido Nigori Sake Nama Junmai Ginjo Kido's Junmai Daiginjo is a very tasty sake that can be purchased for the first half of 3,000 yen for a bottle. The fruity ginjo aroma and the delicious rice flavor are outstanding, and it disappears quickly and easily. I bought a bottle of nigorizake nama because it is my favorite sake. When I opened the bottle, it blew up if I wasn't careful. It has that much of a shwashy feeling. When I drank it, I felt the sourness and bitterness spreading through the carbonation. Huh? I don't really feel the sweetness that I felt with Kido's Daiginjo. The sweetness appears a little after the drink is over. This feeling is similar to Takeyuki's nigori sake. Other people's reviews say it is fresh, sweet and sour, so maybe my taste buds are not right. Degree of liking 7/10

Fukushima Sake Kasumi Romain Light Nigori Nama ROMAN" is a sake made from water, rice, koji, and toji all produced in Fukushima prefecture. When I drank a fire-brewed junmai ginjo before, I didn't feel so much sweetness, but this "Kasumi Romain" is very juicy and sweet. But this "Kasumi Romain" is very juicy with a strong sweetness. Yet, the lightness of the mouthfeel makes it easy to drink. The sourness that comes afterwards is also nice. I think it is similar to Ocean99, which I drank the other day. I looked it up and found out that it is the sweetest sake in the "Romain" series. It was so delicious that I would like to buy a bottle if I have room in my fridge. But I still have a lot of sake I want to buy... Degree of liking 10/10

Nagasaki Sake HIRAN Nikkomaru Unfiltered Nama This is the first Nagasaki sake. It is Hiran from Mori Sake Brewery. The first is that this sake is made not from rice specially used for sake (Yamada-Nishiki, Omachi, etc.), but from edible rice (Nikkomaru), which is eaten in Nagasaki. The second is that the sake is made using the traditional method of sake brewing that has been used since the Edo period (1603-1868), which is a very time-consuming process using lactic acid bacteria that have existed in the brewery for centuries, without the use of yeast, etc. Recently, the NHK broadcast of the Tsukishioi Sake Brewery also introduced the process of making sake using the traditional sake yeast. I would like to try Japanese moon someday. HIRAN's Nikkomaru has a grapefruit-like aroma and a lactic sweet and sour taste in the mouth. It tastes like the grapefruit flavor of Calpis. The alcohol content is 14%, so you can drink it like a juice without feeling alcohol. Wow, it's delicious! It is not easy to find it sold in many places, but if I find it, I will buy it immediately.

Sake in Chiba Kangiku Ocean99 Shiroginoumi Unfiltered Nama This is "Ocean99 Hakuginoumi" from Kangiku Meikozo located in Kujukuri-hama, Chiba Prefecture. It is very popular on SNS and Youtube. The alcohol content is 13 degrees, so it is quite light. The aroma is like sweet and sour apple. When you drink it, there is a bitter aftertaste after the sweet and sourness. This sake goes perfectly with food when drunk as a food sake. It seems like the sweetness increases if you let it sit for a few days, but I couldn't verify this because I emptied a four-pack in one day. I also feel that the flavor increases when the sake is lukewarm. I will verify this next year. It was a delicious sake that lived up to its reputation. Degree of liking 10/10

Tochigi Sake Hououmida Aragashiri Oshikiri Merger Junmai Daiginjo Hououmida is a sake that cannot be mistaken for anything else. There is a detailed explanation, but it is hard to read with my old eyes. It seems that "Arahashiri" is the cloudy part that comes out without pressure at the beginning of the squeezing process, and "oshikiri" is the part that is squeezed out at the end. Oshikiri is the part that is squeezed out at the end. In short, only the best parts of the sake are combined. But I think he also said that the middle part is also delicious? Whatever the case, it is Hououmida. It is a beautiful sake with high aroma and rich flavor. It is extremely delicious. Degree of liking 10/10 Sake

Sake from Miyagi Prefecture Miyakanbai Winter Time Junmai Ginjo Nigori Sake This is a nigori sake made by Miyakanbai. It has a light, snowy color and a fine carbonation that is quite strong. It has a fruity aroma, and when you drink it, the acidity comes on strong. After that comes the sweetness and umami that is typical of Miyakanume, and the sourness remains at the end. Compared to Miyakanme Ooragarami, the stronger carbonation makes the sourness more noticeable. After a few days, the carbonation disappears and the sourness settles down. Then the sweetness, umami, and sourness become mellow, and the taste becomes gentle, which is typical of Miyakanbai. It is not easy to find, but I would like to try Spring Time next time.

Ibaraki Sake Morishima Junmai Daiginjo Comet Morishima is a sake produced by Morishima Shuzo in Hitachi City, Ibaraki Prefecture. It is made from Hokkaido rice, Comet. Morishima is not easily available in Ibaraki. On the Sakelabo channel, Kai-san said, "I don't know where to find it," and it was a mystery even to the locals. I finally bought this sake after looking for it in various places. Incidentally, Morishima Sake Brewery is featured in the danchu Sake Special 2024. As mentioned in dan Chu, Comet is a sake that is only available in February, so I bought it as soon as it went on sale. The aroma is like ramune, but not so aromatic. There is almost no sweetness, and the refreshing flavor and acidity make it light and easy to drink. The sake is a daiginjo, but its sake level is -2, which means it goes perfectly with food as a food sake. It is like Romain or Hakurakusei, which I have had in the past. Morishima is a sake that is light and easy to drink without bitterness, with a sweetness that is kept to a minimum and a delicious taste of rice. This sake is a must-have. Degree of liking 9/10

In other words, if you can buy sake at any time, you can feel secure, and it is the perfect sake to drink regularly. Mutsu Hachisen New Year's Celebration Sake. It is an aromatic sake.

Sake from Fukushima Keiraku Junmai Ginjo Hi-ire This time of the year, the unfiltered junmai ginjo of 寫楽 goes on sale, and I can't go out to buy it until I consume it because the rest of the refrigerated bottles are already full. I'm sure it will be sold out before I can go out and buy it. Sake is a once in a lifetime thing, so I hope I can buy it the next time I find it when my fridge is empty. But I think I'll buy Hana Yokuyo when I find it. So, here it is, 寫楽 Junmai Ginjo, once-hired. Since it is fire-aged, the overall flavor is subdued. The rice flavor and sweetness are elegant. It has more acidity than Hanayuyuu. It is delicious. You can never go wrong with 寫楽. Degree of liking 10/10

Tochigi Sake Hououmida Akaban Special Activated Nigori Hououmida is a fragrant sake from Tochigi. Among them, Aka-han is a sake that can be drunk only at the end of the year. Although it is called "active nigori," it does not have much carbonation. When the cork is opened, the aroma that opens up at once has a luxurious feel. In the mouth, the smooth flavor of rice spreads. It disappears without a trace, leaving behind no unpleasant taste. It has a mellowness that is different from Hanayuup, and is very delicious. Hanayuup, 寫楽, and Hououmida are similar in their mellow, umami taste, but each has its own character and is very enjoyable. Degree of liking 10/10
