This is a sake that was given to me. I have never seen this brand before, and the label gives a classic impression. The wording on the back says that it is a dry sake that goes well with fish. Although there is no description on the label, the rice polishing ratio indicates that it is a junmai ginjo hi-ire-shu, and the specs certainly seem dry. Upon opening the bottle, the aroma was not as classic as I had imagined, with a light melon flavor. The taste is also quite refreshing, with a light melon flavor without the alcohol tang. It is designed to accompany a meal, so you can hardly taste any sweetness. It is certainly a good bottle that goes well with all kinds of food. We served it at room temperature, but it might be tasty warmed up as well.

I personally think that Tobiran is a rising star in the sake world. We were given a limited edition sake shop version of it. The rice used was Nikomaru, a local food rice, and the brewery aims to create a one-of-a-kind sake that can only be enjoyed at this brewery. All of the sake we have had so far have been delicious, so we had high expectations for this one as well. It tasted like a refreshing melon, with not so much acidity. However, there is also a gentle lactic acidity, and it tastes a bit like a loquat. It was not too sweet, but not too sweet for a meal. In any case, it is not too sweet, and I think it is a modern bottle that goes well with meals. It was enough to make me look forward to the future of the sake from Hiran. I am looking forward to more!

This is a special order item for the sake shops of Higashitsuru, a company we have been serving a lot recently. This one is made with Saga no Hana (flower of Saga) and is bottle warmed and hi-seasoned to preserve its fruity flavor. We have high expectations. It has a melon-like sweetness, but it is not too sweet and the aroma is not too strong, so it is quite refreshing. It may be the type that is popular these days. It can be enjoyed by itself or with food. Higashi-Tsuru is a family-owned business, and I don't think the production volume was that large. However, they have pursued the pursuit of flavor by deepening the well and are a brewery that I would like to continue to patronize in the future.

I bought this bottle because the phrase "recommended by the young master of the liquor store" piqued my interest. It is a liquor store that I trust, so there is no doubt about it. The brewery is Ichinoya in Nagano, and they dug a well 200 meters deep with a local mineral water maker to use as brewing water. They have recently renovated their facilities, so you can expect great things from them. When opened, it has a slightly carbonated taste, and when you drink it, it has a grapefruit-like sourness and a slightly bitter taste. It is also sweet, with a hint of melon. Yes, this is the kind of flavor that is popular these days. It is not too sweet, so it seems to go well with a variety of foods. I think it would go well with a refreshing cheese or white sauce with white fish. I thought I had somehow heard of Ryusuisen, but it was a sake I had tasted long ago. However, the label has changed a lot. I heard that the female toji (master brewer) has been experimenting with everything from taste to labeling. I want to support breweries that are run by young people.

Hello, Mr. Moyomoyo😃 I have a theory that you can't go wrong with a recommendation from a trusted liquor store 🤗Ryusuisen, which is not too sweet! I'll give it a try when I see it 😋.

@Jay & Nobby. Asking a sake professional is a definite choice. I've never been off in my experience lol. Ryusuisen is a modern bottle, but definitely one of the higher level ones. You won't regret it!

Shanshu No. 4 is the name of the rice. It is also known as "Jade Miao". It is the parent of the famous Sake Mirai rice developed by Jyushiyo. What kind of sake will it be? It has a softness that is typical of Kudokido-Ute, and while it retains its sweetness and mildness, it does not lose its sweetness. It still has a peachy taste, but it also has a melon-like taste. It is not too sweet and seems to go well with various meals. The latest trend is to have fresh sake with a high acidity, but Kudoi Ue is somehow modern even though it has a low acidity. With 15% alcohol by volume, it also has a light feeling. I would like to pair it with simmered dishes.

This is a series that I end up getting every year. Akabu is a sake that is becoming increasingly well known for its taste. The Nakadori (raw) sake is a sake that has to be good. It is very juicy, just like its reputation for being peachy. However, I also think that Akabu has the characteristic of not being too sweet and can be drunk smoothly. That is also possible. It is sweet and fruity without being too heavy, and my impression is that it is between peach and apple. It can be served with nuts or cheese as the main ingredient, or it may go well with slightly lighter sashimi or simmered dishes. It has a modern taste and can be enjoyed by beginners. It is a modern drink that can be enjoyed by beginners, but even those who are used to drinking it will be satisfied with its deliciousness.

This one with a stylish label is said to be the first bottle brewed by Kirakucho under the theme of sake. The alcohol content is 15%, which is a little on the low side. It has a creamy sweetness to it. Gentle like cotton candy. As for the taste, it is fruity with a bit of sourness. Pear-like would be a good description. It's an easy-drinking drink, and it's probably good with slightly stronger flavors.

The image of this sake is that of a standard Oita sake, the style of Yokozuna. The production volume is probably quite large, and I have an image that it is available at supermarkets in Oita Prefecture. I have not checked recently. As the label says, it has a classic flavor. However, it is easy to drink with sweetness and no alcohol taste. Other comments mentioned something like "Shaoxing wine" or "slight banana," and that is exactly what it tastes like. It is a relaxing and easy to drink sake. I think it would go well with strong dishes, such as Chinese food. Raising the temperature a little from room temperature will bring out its goodness even more. It is a good classic sake that is easy to drink.

It is a special liquor store order from Musical Instrument Masamune and is said to be inspired by the Sauvignon Blanc of wine. I was intrigued by this instrumental Masamune, which has been a big help to us since last year. After opening the bottle, there was a faint peachy aroma. The taste is definitely white wine-like, but this one has no peculiarities and is easier to drink than wine. It has a gentle sweetness with not too much acidity, like pears, grapes, and peaches. It's absurdly good. It is 13% alcohol, so it is easy to drink. I think it would go well with fresh cheese and crackers.

This sake is a special order item from a liquor store and is a spec that is not usually available on the market. This spec is a direct-drafted, unpasteurized sake, which gives it a fresh taste. The alcohol content is slightly low at 15%. It is said to be dry. The actual taste is refreshing and fruity. It has a sharp alcohol taste with little acidity. The flavor and aroma are similar to that of peaches and melon. I wonder if it would go well with lightly vinegared dishes. It was a very tasty bottle.

I found a label I had never seen before at Kangiku. Kotobukinmoku is the name of a rice whose father is Yamadanishiki, and it is made in Fukuoka Prefecture. How about at the spring moon viewing? The label commented, "How about at spring otsukimi? This sake is so energetic that it makes a noise when opened. It has a fruity flavor like apple, lychee, and pear, but very tasty without being too sweet. It has a silky mouthfeel due to the fact that it is orikara-mi. It would be delicious with white meat fish sashimi.

I remember Garden Uguisu being recommended by a liquor store as a "sweet and tasty sake". We had it at a tasting. This one is a spring sake. It is a refreshing type of sake, with a slight sourness and sweetness without much bitterness. It has a slight tartness and sweetness, with a slight tangerine taste and a banana taste while drinking. It is a fruity sake that goes down easy and is very tasty.

Takachiyo Hiragana Series. Although information is limited, the impression of the label is reflected in the taste. This one is called Strawberry Moon, so we expect it to taste strawberry-like. The actual taste is sour and sweet, giving a strawberry-like impression. And maybe because of the lactic acidity, it tastes like strawberry condensed milk. I don't feel any bitterness, so it is recommended for beginners. This is Hiragana Takachiyo in general. I think it goes well with salty sweets, for example rice crackers. It would also go well with Camembert cheese. After all, Takachiyo is a delicious sake!

Sanzo is a new brand of Hananaka Shuzo from 2022, and it is quite popular these days. This one is made from rice grown in the brewery's watershed, and is made with traditional sake brewing methods. The bottle I had was opened a little while ago, so I didn't notice much carbonation. The taste has a melon-like aroma with a vinegar-like sourness. It is quite distinctive. Surprisingly, it is easy to drink. It might go well with Chinese food such as sweet-and-sour pork.

Nishi Shuzo is famous for its Hozan-type shochu, but it has been making sake for a while now. The concept of Tenpyo is said to be a food sake. It tastes a bit like melon, but also has a lactic acidity, making it a refreshing sake. One person's tasting comment described it as a pear. I see what you mean...pear. As the concept suggests, this sake seems to go well with meals. I would like to drink it with tempura.

The more pink labels in liquor stores, the more springtime it feels. This sake is made from Misato Nishiki, Akita's rice suitable for sake brewing. Misato Nishiki is a rice that can be grown in Akita, a cold region, with Yamadanishiki as its father. It seems that there are rather few plantings of this rice. It does not have a piquant feeling when opened, but when you drink it, it has a juicy melon or peach flavor. The acidity is not very strong, but it is refreshing. It is a very tasty sake that is nicely integrated. If you want to match it with food, white-meat fish sashimi would be a good choice. Also, it would be good with oden or other dishes with kelp dashi. It is a good sake that seems to go well with a variety of dishes.

This sake is made by Tenryohai Sake Brewery, which is famous for Gagakuyo on Sado Island. I tried it because it is quite a rarity. For some reason, I have recently had a connection with Sado Island sake. It is more robust than fruity. It has the flavor of rice, but with a slightly apple-like fruity quality. It has a somewhat classic impression and seems to go well with meals. This flavor may fit the concept of an izakaya's sake that goes well with meals. It seems to go well with simmered dishes, fried dishes, and soy sauce-like dishes.

This sake is made from Kudoki-ue's Dewa Sanzu, and although it is a raw sake made by cutting the rice down to 33%, it is offered at a very low price. Dewa Sanzu is a rice developed in Yamagata and is said to be characterized by its high heart white generation rate. It has a sweetness that is typical of Kudo, with a mellow peach or melon taste and a clean finish. It is a very tasty sake. I would like to pair it with something sweet and spicy with soy sauce, such as sweet potato stew.

It is the newest sake brewery in Japan and started in 2024. The name "Iraka" was given to the sake as if the Japanese Alps were the ceiling of Japan. They make sake using only Nagano rice and water. This is a light nigori type, specially ordered by the liquor store. When opened, the bottle is vigorous and the lid makes a noise. The taste is silky from the rice and slightly fruity from the melon. Black means it is a balanced type that everyone loves. Certainly easy to drink. It would go well with white fish sashimi and the like. It was a very delicious sake.

Hana-no-Kou Sake Brewery is making a strong showing with their Sanchi, but this is a test brew, so they do not call themselves Sanchi. It is a raw sake that has been laid down at a low temperature for two years. It is so vigorous that the lid makes a noise when opened. As the previous reputation that it is vinegar-like, it is not sweet but has a sour taste. It also has a white wine-like taste, but maybe it is vinegar because it is not sweet. My impression is that it is a very interesting and sharp sake. They recommend it with strong-flavored Western food, such as Chinese food. I had it with a hamburger, which was junky, but that was okay.
