I happened to have a bottle of Yamazan, which I had been curious about but had never had a chance to drink. The label is stylish. It is a Yamada-Nishiki, unfiltered, unpasteurized sake with delicious specs. The first impression I had was of apples. The orangey citrus flavor was mixed in with the apple flavor, making it quite a refreshing bottle. The flavor is just right, not too thick or too thin. It is sweet, yet refreshing. If it tastes this good, I would like to try another spec.

I have recently noticed that Hidakami is delicious and I get it quite often. This is a year-round sake. I believe that sake brewers are the most enthusiastic about year-round sake. If you are going to do it with fish..." is the catchphrase. I have the impression that this sake has a high degree of perfection as a sake and is good both on its own and with a meal. It claims to be dry, and I think it has low sugar content, but the fruity taste is probably due to the good aroma. It has a fresh feeling like strawberries or pears. The fact that it is not mild and refreshing is probably due to its dryness. It is a bottle that I would like to pair with simple dishes. It seems to go well with sashimi.

Chiba is one of Kanzaki Shuzo brewery's bottles, and it is a raw sake made with Association 77 yeast, which is a high malic acid producing yeast. The use of white malted rice also shows a commitment to apples. Liquid-wise, it is cloudy white. Perhaps because it had not been opened long, it has a shwashy feeling. It has the richness and acidity typical of nama sake, and is just like juicy apples. It is slightly sweet and very drinkable. It is like an apple squash, and it goes down well. I think it would go well with light white fish tempura with a dash of salt.

Cute apple on the label. It is an unfiltered unpasteurized sake made with multi-acidic yeast No.77. 12% low alcohol type. The taste is definitely green apple, but it is not too sweet or strong, and can be drunk easily. It is a supporting role that complements a meal. It is surprisingly good with ice and soda.

Sagata is a famous sake from Tochigi. As for Yukata Sagata, I remember that until the previous year it was labeled with the kanji character for "figure" like the others, but this time it is labeled with a cool goldfish. When I drank it, I found it to be less acidic than I expected and characterized by umami and sweetness. It tastes like melon or chestnut? Maybe chestnut? But the aftertaste is rather refreshing and summer sake-like. I think it would go well with red meat fish sashimi.

Hello, Moyomoyo 😃. Yes, it is! The label changed this year and it's cooler 🎐😌 It's delicious and not too sweet for its figure 😋 I think I paired it with sashimi 🧐 but I forgot if it was red or white meat😅.

Hi Jay & Nobby! The figure is getting better and better every year. The labels have also become more fashionable with each series, and I can sense their ambition to improve. The yukata (light cotton kimono) style is a nice touch, and I like the way it is refreshing and easy to drink!

It is an Aichi sake brewery. This bottle is made from Yume-Ginko, a rice suitable for sake brewing in Aichi. The label reads, "Recommended at room temperature, warmed or lukewarm. This time, it was served cold. The first impression of the taste is sweetness and umami with a graininess. It is not too rich, but rather light and easy to drink. It also has a bitterness that makes it easy to pair with food. It may be interesting to warm it up a little to accentuate the sweetness.

This bottle is produced by the Ichinoya Sake Brewery in Nagano. It is said to be brewed using water from the underground streams of the Northern Alps, and is also unique in that it is brewed by a female toji. The fireworks here are said to be made from 100% Omachi. It has a refreshing grapefruit-like aroma and acidity. The sweetness is restrained. While fruity, it is also good as a food sake.

This is a famous sake from Fushimi, Sawaya Matsumoto's Moriwari. This area has soft water and seems to be the area that was called "Fushimi no Onnazake" (women's sake of Fushimi) for a long time. The taste is quite refreshing, with a slight sourness like grapefruit. Not too sweet, but very tasty. Perhaps because it was just opened, it was a little tangy. I think it has a little rice flavor. The low sweetness and citrusy flavor makes it easy to pair with meals. It can be used with everything from sashimi to fried food.

Huayouyoku is a brewery in Saitama, Japan, and is quite difficult to enter due to its characteristic fruity nature. The brewing volume to begin with is about 100 koku, or perhaps 10,000 bottles on a per bottle basis. I happened to be able to have some. This one is as gorgeous as the label says. It has an apple-like flavor with a tangy sourness, and is truly a pineapple. It is similar to the pineapple-like taste of Kameizumi cel24. It is a good sake if you enjoy the gorgeousness of the sake on its own. If you want to enjoy it with a meal, it might go well with sweet-and-sour pork.

This sake is brewed mainly with Dewa Sanzu from Musical Instrument Masamune. It is brewed using the mixed brewing method, in which 77% Dewa Sanzu is mixed with other varieties in order to bring out the best in the sake. It is unfiltered and unpasteurized to take full advantage of its flavor. When you drink it, you will find it to be a refreshing, slightly sweet sake that is typical of the instrumental style. The aroma and sweetness are like the honey of flowers. In terms of flavor, it reminds me of peach, melon, and apple. This is what I imagine instrumental Masamune to be like. I think it would go well with a slightly sweet and salty meal.

Takachidai's 59% rice polishing ratio series. This time, Aizan and Ipponshime are used. Ipponshime is mainly produced in Niigata, and seems to be a cross between Gohyakumangoku and Toyobai. Since it is a Takachidai unadjusted raw sake, it has a creamy, bachi-bachi feeling, and together with the acidity, it has a Calpis-like taste. Is it the color of the label? It has a refreshing feeling of grapes and apples mixed together. Delicious without being too sweet!

This is a summer sake version of Daimine, using Dewasanbara rice. Dewa Tsanzan is actually the first original Yamagata sake rice, and it is said to have been used for about 10 years. It is quite exciting that such rice is used in Yamaguchi Prefecture after going through the evaluation process. The specs are also Junmai Daiginjo specifications with a rice polishing ratio of 50%. As one might expect, all of Omine's sake is refreshing and easy to drink. The sake is not heavy, and the acidity is slightly suppressed. It tastes like peach and a hint of apple. It has just the right amount of sweetness. I wonder if the water from Akiyoshidai is low in hardness. It is not a strong type of water, so it may be easy to drink with sushi.

This is the white malted rice side of the Higashi Tsuru drinking comparison. This is an unusual sake, as sake is usually brewed with yellow malted rice, but this sake is brewed with black and white malted rice, respectively. The white malted rice has a sour, apple-like taste, and perhaps because the rice and milling ratio are the same, it has a very similar taste with a refreshing acidity and sweetness. The white malted rice is a bit more acidic and refreshing, but you may not notice it unless you are told. It is not a black-and-white comparison. Both are very tasty.

Higashitsuru is one of our recent favorites. It is a rare sake that is usually brewed with yellow malted rice, but this sake is brewed with black and white malted rice, respectively. We happened to be able to compare them at an izakaya, so we decided to give it a try. Both black and white malted rice sake have a sour, apple-like taste. It is very tasty, with a refreshing yet sour and sweet taste. It also has the freshness of a fresh sake. If I had to say, I would say that black malted rice is a little richer. You can't go wrong with Azumakizuru. It was very delicious.

This is Nabeshima's summer seasonal sake. This is a ginjo-shu made with Yamada-Nishiki and served with aluzuki. Nabeshima has many fruity flavors, but what about this one? When opened, it was energetic and slightly carbonated. It has a more robust rice flavor than I expected, but also has acidity. If it were a fruit, I would say it tastes like apples and oranges. It is a well-balanced combination of classic and modern flavors. It is good to drink it chilled, but I think the balance of sweetness and sourness is better when it is at room temperature. I think it would be good as a food sake.

It is a well-known Hikkami if you are going to do it with fish, but it is a delicious enough Hikkami even without fish involved. The flow chart label is Junmai Daiginjo Nakatori and the specs and obviously delicious specs, but the label is also pleasing to the eye. It is bottled and fired, so I guess it is bottle warmed and fired. The taste is clean, not too acidic, and tastes like pear and melon. There is not much sweetness, so it would go well with a meal. It also has a moderate alcohol content and is very tasty. I usually drink it chilled, but it is also delicious at room temperature. It seems to cover a wide range of dishes, not just fish.

This is Aizan main sake from one of my recent guesses, Masamune Instrument's Aizan. 80% or more of the sake is made from Aizan. Almost all Aiyama. It's the diamond of sake rice. The gentle feeling when you drink it is typical of Musical Instrument Masamune. It also has a white wine-like feeling, but the sweetness and a bit of floridness give it a strawberry-like flavor. I feel that these characteristics become stronger at room temperature. The alcohol content is 15%, and it can be drunk in a gentle way. It has a light fruity taste and is very easy to drink.

Higashitsuru is rapidly gaining popularity among my customers. This is a traditional sake made from the traditional sake yeast. The name "Namahashimoto" usually tends to give the impression of a classic sake, but what about this one? When opened, it is a bit vigorous and you can feel a bit of a tangy carbonation. The taste is quite refreshing, with a banana or pear nuance without much acidity. It is not too sweet, so it is easy to enjoy. At room temperature, it tastes a little like melon and is very tasty. It has a bit of a "sake yeast" character, but it is fruity and easy to drink. I wonder if it goes well with steak or heavy dishes. It was a delicious sake.

Nichinichi is a sake brewed by Hidetsuhiko Matsumoto, who used to brew Sawaya-Matsumoto, as an independent brewer. The brewery is located in Fushimi, Kyoto Prefecture, and all of the sake is made using the original brewing method. Normally, they brew with rice from their own rice paddies, but this one is a sake original and is made with Akita's Koudou-Shinkou. When you drink it, you will notice a weak carbonation and a refreshing sweetness. At 11% alcohol, it is low in alcohol and can be drunk quickly. The low alcohol content (11%) makes it easy to drink. It is not at all like a traditional sake, but rather a modern sake. It is a good choice for beginners because it is as light and low in alcohol content as it is rumored to be.

Hiragana Takachiyo has little information on the label. The stance is to drink and experience the label color. Dare to read on the label. Is the message of piquant grapiness from the words "unfiltered and unadjusted" and "SPARK" really true? When you drink it, it is easy to understand: fresh acidity, sweetness and aroma. The color image may be intended to "show the direction of the taste with the color". The taste is creamy with a sense of Kyoho grapes and rice. There is no complex weight, and it is easy to drink even for beginners. It is easy to understand why it is called "Fanta Grape. However, I am sure that the taste will reach sake lovers as well. It is simply refreshing and delicious, so you will want to pair it with junk food such as hamburgers and fried food. It is also delicious on its own.
