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.

Higashitsuru is a brewery that I personally highly recommend. It has a sweet, yet refreshing taste, and is never a disappointment. This time, a bottle was made using rice called Shunyo. Shunyo is a low-protein rice that produces a light sake. When you open the bottle, you can feel the healthy carbonation, but when you drink it, you can taste the refreshing sweetness of lychee and muscat. However, it is a refreshing drink without being too sweet. Maybe it goes well with white fish or other refreshing dishes. Among the recent sakes I have had, this one is my favorite.

Sake from Sado Island. This sake was given to me as a recommendation from Niigata. Thanks. I heard that it was picked up by the media and became famous. But it must have spread quite a bit among the public because it tastes solidly delicious. This is a fire-brewed sake, and you can really taste the flavor of the rice. It tastes a little melon-like, but the rice flavor prevails. It tastes better warmed than chilled. It seems to go well with takoyaki or okonomiyaki-like sauces.

When it comes to Aizan, I had no choice but to buy it. It is definitely a delicious sake. What would happen if Omine, which has a fruity flavor at its core, used Aizan? Taste-wise, there is an impression of rich sweetness, acidity, and sourness. A grape-like sweetness might fit the impression. There is also a sense of rice. The fruity taste is a bit different from the impression of Omine, which usually has a refreshing sweetness and acidity. It is delicious even when served cold, but if you raise the temperature a little, the impression will change. In any case, it was a delicious sake.

The Hiragana Takachiyo series does not include any specifications such as the type of rice or the degree of grinding. The concept is that the color of the label is the image of the flavor, not the specifications. How does this pink one really look? The color gives a sense of spring. It is a rich sake with a little bit of orizumi, and has a rich sweetness with little acidity. In my opinion, it tastes like peaches. It is sweet, but not too sweet. It is a dangerous sake that is very easy to drink. This is a dessert. You want to pair it with fruit.

It is Nabeshima's spring sake, Blossom Moon. The label is also a spring pink color. I have the impression that Nabeshima's seasonal sake is very popular and runs out quickly at liquor stores. We were lucky to get it. When opened, the sake is so vigorous that the lid pops off. It has a slightly citrusy acidity and a peachy juiciness, but it is not too sweet and is very refreshing. Maybe it is because of the minute carbonation. Since it is a refreshing sake, it would go well with sashimi.

This is a spring sake from Tedorigawa. It is a light nigori sake. Tedorigawa has a variety of sake with different tastes. It has a refreshing and crisp spring-like taste. It has a citrus and apple-like acidity with a little carbonation. It has a dry yet sweet atmosphere. It seems to go well with any kind of food. It might go well with dashi (Japanese soup stock) stews. It is like a modern dry wine.

Gin-no-sei is said to be a sake brewing rice produced in Akita, Japan. I was told that Isshaku Suisei's Gin no Sei Nama Shu was being reissued for the first time in 10 years, so I grabbed it and bought it. I was lucky to get it. As for the taste, it is as balanced as ever. I found it slightly more sour than the others, and the sweetness and bitterness combined to give it an orange peel-like taste. I somehow think it would go well with white meat fish sashimi. I think it would have a different feel if it were served at room temperature. It was delicious!

Kouzen Josui is a sake that I used to drink long ago when I was not so interested in sake. I think it has a solid sake quality despite its easy-to-obtain distribution volume and price range. I bought it because it was available in 1-gou cans for convenience stores. The cans are less affected by light, etc., and I have the impression that they are suitable for a wide distribution volume of sake. This alone somehow gives a good impression. I drank it cold, and the aroma was sweet, and the taste was clean with a hint of umami and sweetness. It is not fruity or anything like that. It is not fruity. I think it goes well with Japanese food. The website says it goes well with dashimaki and tempura. It seems to go well with soup stock.

Yuki no Mayu was recently rebranded from Brewing Forest. I noticed that the label combines three "yu" characters rotated 90 degrees. We chose a junmai daiginjo, a rare sake that is served in a single-stage brewing process, which we had never tried before. The taste was sour like yogurt juice. It was like a one-stage brewing process, right? I also felt an apple-like sourness. It is sweet but refreshing. Beginners will be surprised that it tastes like juice. I think it would go well with a pizza with cheese and honey. It was very tasty.

This is a recent draft of Gakki Masamune, which I have been enjoying a lot. The Honjozo, which is a year-round sake, is always very tasty, but this one is a fresh-brewed sake, so I wonder if it is more fruity than the others. This one, however, is a fresh-brewed sake, so it is more fruity than that. It has a nice aroma when you open the bottle, and when you drink it, it is refreshing and not too sweet. It is a little bit between melon and peach. It is easy to enjoy. It seems like it would go well with sashimi or something. I haven't tried it, but it might be good at room temperature.

Tatenokawa's Mu-Ga is composed of six Mu's. No filtration, no water added, no heat, no bubbles, and no intervals, which means it is immediately packed, no self. The red bottle is my favorite snow goddess, and this is one I was going to try once it was released. It is such a lively sake that the lid pops vigorously for two or three days after opening the bottle. It has a fresh aroma. As for the taste, it is quite refreshing. You don't feel the alcohol taste and it has a pleasant acidity. It is a sake that can be drunk smoothly, feeling like a sports drink without anything else. I did not drink it with anything in particular, but I think it is a delicious sake when served cold, so I think it would go well with sashimi or sushi. It is also versatile enough to be paired with white sauces and other strong flavored dishes.

Good evening, Kotaro. Muga is refreshingly fruity and not too sweet, which I think is the latest trend. I quite liked the type. I would like to try other rice lineups.
