Shichiken一番しぼり 純米吟醸 生純米吟醸生酒

I was impressed with the new Shichiken sake I drank just a year ago. I have purchased it again this year 🍶. It was tasty and cosmetically pleasing, but my sense is that I was not as impressed as I was when I drank it last year. I think it is probably a matter of my senses (physical condition and influence of other brands I drank most recently) rather than the sake itself😇. <Details The aroma reminds me of green apples, and the mouthfeel is smooth. However, this year I found it to be a bit sharp and strong in an alcoholic way. I would have preferred a more rounded impression.

My first Koshi. A sake that I had never happened to taste, although I had heard of its reputation for sweetness. The sake shop owner recommended a bottle 🍶 in response to my question, "Which sake is similar to the Omine that impressed me the other day? The liquor store owner recommended this bottle to me in response to my question. It is sweet on the palate, and the freshness is close to my liking. It also has a tangy gasiness, just like the name "Thunderbolt". However, if I were to rate it based on high expectations, I would say that there is a slight bitterness and a tangy aftertaste, but the clarity is a minus point. The best! I thought it was a delicious sake as recommended, if not the best, and I would actively order it if it were available at an izakaya. ☺️

This is my first craft saké in my life. I had been daring to stay away from it, but in order to have my own stance on it, I took the plunge and bought it 🍶 The liquor store told me that craft saké with hops is a good introduction to it, so I chose this one. I was surprised by its purplish body! The taste was also unique, neither sake nor any other sake, but it is a good sake in that it is easy to drink. ☺️ <Details Grapes in both aroma and appearance. It has the sense of a kyoho grape with a strong upper aroma and a little bit of cemedine smell mixed in. Contrary to the mellow aroma, the taste is watery. Although there is no sense of the 14% alcohol content, it felt like a new genre of sake, neither sake nor any other type of sake.

The other day I drank an unfiltered, raw sake called Omine that was so delicious that I immediately bought another brand of the same Omine 🍶 This one is made with Omachi 🌾. I preferred the unfiltered Yamadanishiki sake because of its sweetness, but this Omine is also really delicious! By the time I took the photo for publication, it was almost gone... You may think that I'm not into the well-known Omine at this point, but I wanted to keep all the seasonal ones in check this RY 😊. <Details The fruit aroma reminds me of melon 🍈This may be the first time I've ever thought so clearly that it is melon! I think this might be the first time I've ever thought "melon" so clearly. There is a slight sense of gas. The taste is clear with minerality and soft sweetness, and although it is Omachi, the umami is strong and moderate. Compared to the unfiltered raw Yamadanishiki sake, the sweetness is lessened and the sensation is more refreshing. It also has a slightly stronger umami.

I received this Aki-shika from my father-in-law. I have only had Aki-shika in a cup, so I am interested to see what the unfiltered, unfiltered sake tastes like, which tends to bring out the true flavor of the sake 🧐. It was well-balanced and gave the impression of a traditional sake, and although it had 17% alcohol content, it was not extremely strong and not difficult to drink, but if you kept drinking it, the bitterness would stick to your tongue, so I drank it in small sips.

My first outside drinking post in a while. I wasn't that familiar with Yamama, as it doesn't happen to be handled very well at the liquor store near me, but I was under the impression that it was a good, in-order sake 🍶. There were several brands on the menu, but I ordered this one, partly because the others were brands I've had most of the time. Since this Niigata sake claims to be "dry," I had imagined it to be a traditional sake with no sweetness and a nice sharp taste, but in a good way, it disappointed my expectations! The yellow Oni Yamama seems to be a slightly odd brand among the Yamamas, but we enjoyed it very much. ☺️ <Details It has a muscat-like aroma, fruity sweetness, and tartness, as it is made with No. 6 yeast. Refreshing, not like something that has been aged in autumn. The spiciness from the umami and alcohol is interestingly intertwined there. Although it is indeed dry, the fruity aroma and taste, combined with the sharpness, made me end up drinking a lot of it!

I bought this black bottle of Oumine🍚 unfiltered unpasteurized sake because it is rare to find such a rare and precious sake. I was so impressed with this sake that I thought, "This is the most impressive sake I have tasted this year! It is so much to my liking 😊. This was the kind of encounter that makes me think twice about my daily sake selection, and I need to buy a variety of brands without pretending to know what I'm talking about ✨. <Details Fruity aroma reminiscent of muscat and melon. You can clearly feel the piquancy and gasiness. The taste is sweet and sour, but the umami is not so strong. It is sweet, but the acidity and minerality make it refreshing. Perhaps because it is an unfiltered, unpasteurized sake, it tastes best right after opening the bottle, and after some time, perhaps due to the loss of gas, it tastes a little alcoholic, but it is still delicious. In terms of type, it was similar to the higher-priced Colors model of Shinmasa, and for the first time in a long time, I felt the same kind of excitement I felt when I first drank Shinmasa.

Wishing for a bright and illuminating year on his birthday. We opened a bottle of Denshogiku (Oriagarami), our first or second favorite brand of Kangiku 🍶. It is still consistently delicious. A good start to the year. ☺️ <Details There is a gas in the mouth. The flavor and sweetness typical of Kangiku can be felt more strongly, but it is not harsh and wears off easily. The bottom of the bottle is cloudy and thick like amazake, with some bitterness.

This is the second bottle of local sake from Numazu on my trip to Shizuoka. While most Shizuoka sake is refreshing, the liquor store said it has a strong umami flavor, so I bought this Hakuin Masamune as the second bottle of a different type of sake. I have to admit that I was afraid of buying a sake with a strong umami taste, since it is distributed mainly in my hometown, but this one was quite a good quality sake! In fact, the umami was not so strong, and the sake was well balanced.

I went on a short trip to Shizuoka. I wanted to try a sake from Shizuoka that I had never had before, so I bought Garyubai, which I purchased after researching its reputation beforehand🍶. The sake had a good online reputation, plus it was awarded [1st place] in the Junmai Sake category [1st place] and [Special Jury Award] at Kura Master 2019. I was surprised by the different peculiarities of this sake, which is not typical of Shizuoka sake. Maybe it was due to too high expectations and preconceptions, but it was not my favorite sake 🥲. <Details Slightly yellowish body. On the label, it doesn't seem to be an autumn-aged sake, but the taste also reminds me of an aged sake, with a peculiar aroma and taste, like a mixture of Shaoxing wine. It was different from the image of a fresh and refreshing sake, which is the image in Shizuoka and the image I was told by the liquor store. The taste was not bad, and it did not have a bad aftertaste, so it did not seem to be a problem with the sake's production or storage.

This is the 2nd Mikumari I drank on Sake Day 🍶 after a delay. It is said that the first version has been brushed up and has a wider range of the best temperature range to protect. The first version was delicious, so I bought it with high expectations 🍶. This is delicious, despite my high expectations! It was one of the first bottles that I could find: ☺️ In a short period of time, just a few months after the first version, there was a feeling of perfection as declared, and I take my hat off to them. <Details It has a strong gassy feeling, with a level of bubbles that are still firmly in the glass two days after opening. However, the bubbles are not mouth-watering like soda water, and the natural, high-quality tongue feel is pleasant. As with the first bottle, there is a sweetness on the palate, but the sweetness is not the only thing that precedes it, and there is a good balance of umami and bitterness. The first version had a slightly pronounced bitterness that became more apparent as it warmed up, but this did not bother me with the second version.

When was the last time you drank Huayouyoku? I have not had a chance to see Huayoukou, even though it is one of my favorite brands 🍶. This time, my brother served it to me at my parents' house🌸. I was surprised to find that the taste has changed compared to the past, but for me, it was still delicious from the very first sip 😊! I could feel it from the first sip 😊. It is often described as pineapple, but in terms of fruits, I think it had a white peach-like aroma. <Details It has sweetness on the palate, but is smooth and refreshing. The chili-like gassiness also accentuates the freshness. In the mouth, it has a fruity aroma like white peaches and a malted rice aroma. As is typical of Hachitan Nishiki (my personal impression of sake rice), it is generally flat with little of the robust flavor and flamboyance of Yamadanishiki, but instead is refreshing.

Every year, at a nearby liquor store, delicious! Cheap! Quick (to sell out)! The Machida Brewery's ✨? As advertised, I have not been able to buy it, but this year I was able to bring it home with me at the right time ✨. The aroma is mild. Still, the fruity aroma spreads in the mouth and is pleasant. The mouthfeel is sweet but refreshing, and a good umami flavor follows. It also has a nice sharpness. In addition, there is a small amount of gas that accentuates the crispness. I thought Machida Brewery's sake was delicious, but was it because of the cosmetics? Or is it because of the undisclosed specs and being able to drink it without preconceived notions? Perhaps it was the fact that it was very tasty: ☺️

Junmai Daiginjo made with Kenaiyama, once fired. There are only two sake breweries in Japan that use Kenaiyama. Kangiku is one of the brands that I tend to buy, and I am really interested in how they make sake that is not only delicious but also interesting, such as this Kenaiyama. It has a sweet mouthfeel that is typical of Kangiku and Aizan. The aroma is subdued. Compared to Hyogo's Aizan, the umami is not too strong, giving the impression of a refreshing taste. However, the more one continues to drink it, the more the umami is firmly added. There is no gassiness, and the overall impression is clear and free of any cloying flavors. I felt that I preferred it to Kangiku's Aizan brand Red diamond. ☺️ I felt that it would be good if the production of Ken Aizan increased so that we could try other brands as well!

A new brand of Houou Mita. The prototype is said to be made with 50% polished rice from Tochigi Prefecture and carefully brewed with Nikko's gojinsui. It is a junmai-daiginjo-namaishu, a very high-cost sake, priced at a little over 1,500 yen! Slightly carbonated, with a tangy gassy feeling when opened. The aroma is subdued, sweet and refreshing. The taste is light and refreshing. In addition to moderate sweetness, it has acidity and a good sharpness. The umami taste is followed by a touch of bitterness. You can enjoy complex flavors, but they are all subtle and you will not get tired of drinking it. ☺️ However, I recommend drinking it as soon as possible after opening the bottle, because it was the freshest and gassiest when it was just opened.

Here is a review of Yamaye Nishiki from a drinking comparison at my parents' house. It is a junmai ginjo-shu with a rice polishing ratio of 55%. This time, Yamae-Nishiki had a lower milling ratio than Hitogochi, but it had a bit of a quirkiness to it that made me prefer Hitogochi. It has more umami than Hitokogochi, with a slightly heavier sensation in the middle (for a Shinshu Kamerei). It is also fire-aged, but has a slight gassy feeling when opened.

During this year's Obon vacation, I did a Shinshu Kamerei sake drinking comparison at my parents' house. This review is a pure rice sake with 100% Hitogochi from Nagano Prefecture and 70% polished rice for the premium rice. I did not notice the difference in specs until I looked at the label, but I prefer Hitogokochi despite its higher milling ratio. It has a fresh, understated aroma and a light mouthfeel with a hint of sweetness. It has umami, but is crisp and free of cloying flavors. Although it is fire-aged, there is a slight feeling of gas when the bottle is first opened. Perhaps because it was a hot summer day, our family members seemed to prefer the more refreshing Hitokotchi 😄.

Toyo Bijin's Sake Mirai. Impressed by the cosiness of the ginjo sake I drank last time, I bought Sake Mirai this time. Fruity, refreshing aroma like white peaches. Lightly sweet and soft on the palate, the umami spreads out. The flavor is well balanced, sharp and crisp with a firm umami like Sake Mirai. It was as cosy as ever!

Perhaps because it has been aged for a relatively short period of time (3 years), it is a bit lighter than other old wines I have had.

Kamikigen's Sake Wachi. Hard to type in the brand name 😂. Bought it for the gassy feeling from the fermentation in the bottle. It is not as gassy as the name suggests, almost like a normal nigori sake. I wonder if the storage conditions were bad... It has a refreshing taste. The umami is restrained for a Kamikigen, and it is refreshing and easy to drink without getting tired. It is a junmai ginjo, so it has a refined taste. It didn't have the gassiness I was looking for, but it was reasonably priced and I am satisfied with it 😄.
