I bought the electric chrysanthemum (the yellow one) again this year 🍶 This is the third year in a row as far as I can remember. It has a sweet taste on the palate, and the umami spreads and thickens as it goes along. The ginjo aroma overflows from the glass as it is an unfiltered raw daiginjo-shu. This quality is the same every year. However, I dare say that it is not a sake that is too rich and makes you drink more and more 🤔It may be good if you don't get drunk too much.

Tasake's special pure rice, Akita Sake Komachi, with Yamagata's sweet potato stew 🥢. I've had many opportunities to drink Yamadanishiki of the same specs, but this is my first time to drink Akita Sakekomachi. It is fruity and has a moderate sweetness. It retains the umami that is typical of tasake, but is more refreshing and easier to drink than other brands! I think this may be my favorite of all the Tasake 😊 and once again I was impressed with the good production!

大嶺のこの季節に発売する生酒、去年からハマって購入しています✨ こちらの雄町は去年から値段据え置きの税抜2,000円ですが、同じ値段で一番好きだった山田錦の生酒が今年はなんと500円も値上げ😭ちょっと普段飲みでは手の出し辛いお酒となってしまいました… 気を取り直して、雄町を堪能！ バラのような華やかさと甘さを兼ねた香り。味は大嶺らしく、マスカットのような甘さと酸味。加えて、雄町の旨味が後から追いかけてきて、日本酒らしさもある。 特に最後は滓が結構含まれていて、より旨味が強くなる感覚。

I went to Kochi for the first time on a business trip. Since I was going to the trouble, I wanted to drink local sake, so I went to a supermarket near my hotel. It was not a sake shop, so I found a lineup of famous brands from all over the country. I was surprised to see that Hamakawa Shoten also makes liqueurs and fruit wine in addition to sake, but I decided to buy a bottle of nama-zake (raw sake)! I bought it 🍶 and when I got home and looked at it closely, I realized it was sparkling. The specs were Junmai Daiginjo, but the aroma was subdued, with a hint of koji. It is sweet, gaseous, and easy to drink. The umami is moderate, which is good for those who do not like sake. The bitter aftertaste is also a characteristic of sparkling sake.

It's been a little while since I've had an instrumental Masamune, a craft saké mixed with hops. I think it's great that a brewery with a long history is taking on a new challenge. It's nice to see a craft saké that is instrumental and affordable ✨. It has a ginjo aroma that is typical of sake, but also a fruity sweet aroma that is unique to craft saké. Lychee, citrus. You'd think it would have a bitter taste when you hear hops, but it's almost unnoticeable, rather sweet, tart and grapefruit-like. Light. As always, it's hard to rate craft saké, but I'm sure it's delicious: ☺️

San-no-kozo brewery that has been too carefully cared for and left to sit for a year and a half since its production. Although it had been kept in refrigeration for a long time, the quality was questionable... The sweet and sour taste is still there and it is drinkable, but it is more acidic than usual San-no-tsu. There is also a slight bitterness in the aftertaste. There is almost no top-fragrance aroma, perhaps due to the long-term storage. The more valuable the sake is, the more likely you are to miss the right moment to try it 😅 Drink it right away to avoid feeling like you are wasting it.

This is my first time drinking Ibuki. It is a relatively new brand that was launched in 2011 by the ninth-generation head brewer of a historic sake brewery founded in Tempo. In my experience, I have the impression that Fukushima sake has a strong umami flavor, and this Ibuki is just as strong as that impression. The sake is full-bodied with a clear alcohol taste, which is also due to the fact that it is a pure sake. It is not the type of sake that can be drunk easily on its own.

Purchased at a supermarket in Hiroshima station on a business trip. Only on the label, it is listed as either Honshu Ichiban or Honshu Ichiban, which is a mystery as to which is more accurate 😄. It has a strong, fruity, melon-like flavor, as is typical of the original sake. The smooth mouthfeel and clear structure are excellent. It gets a little tiring as you keep drinking it.

I bought a bottle of Morai on my way back from a trip to Aomori. It is a brand that has been gaining popularity in recent years among the locals. I like the concept of low alcohol sake brewed with Aomori ingredients✨. It has a sweet and sour aroma, comes in clear and modern with just the right amount of sweetness. Slightly bitter as you continue drinking.

I never had a chance to drink Koshino-Kanme because I see it so often. I found it at my parents' house as a gift, so I opened a bottle. According to what my family told me, Koshino-Kanbai was the first of Niigata's light sake, and at the time it was a very popular and hard-to-find sake. It is a junmai daiginjo, so it has a sweetness and a ginjo aroma on the palate. After that, it immediately has a sharpness accompanied by a sense of alcohol ← Is this light and dry? Even if the sweetness and aroma are gorgeous, if it is light and dry, you can't deny the feeling that it is a traditional sake with strong alcohol!

Sake received on a business trip to Okayama. It is a junmai sake made with Omachi, a specially grown rice in Tatebe-cho, Kita-ku, Okayama City, as part of the "Takeo 20 Project," a collaboration between agriculture, commerce, industry, and university students. It is named after Okayama because the prefecture has the most sunny days in Japan. Like its name, it has a clear and sunny sensation, a slight sweetness, and a delicious flavor. Sake with a nice sharpness.

Local sake served at the ryokan where we stayed. It is nice to be able to enjoy a variety of local sake from the place you are traveling. ☺️ The aroma is of rice and alcohol, typical of sake. It has a refreshing taste on the palate, with a surprisingly fruity aroma and sweetness in the middle! Then the spiciness and alcohol spread to the aftertaste. A little regrettable! It was a little too close to call.

Bought a bottle of Tasake in Aomori on a trip for the first time in a long time 🍶The hotel was dark, so the picture is also dark... Kojo-nishiki is the first sake rice variety developed by Aomori Prefecture and revived by Nishida Sake Brewery🌾. Full of umami, as is typical of tasake. It has a soft and full flavor, yet it has a beautiful impression with little alcohol content. It was a good choice to have it with local sushi!

Mixed fermentation of Soga Pale Ephis No. 1~6 yeast and natural fungi, Ria Sake Naturel. Sweet and sour ginjo aroma, as is typical of Soga. The palate is clean, with a slight sweetness that comes in easily, while the taste is quite robust for a sogasake, with a sense of umami and alcohol.

This is the Gin no Yume version of Kameizumi CEL-24. As a fan of the regular version Yamadanishiki (especially the light nigori), I bought this bottle as soon as it went on sale. The sweet and fruity characteristics of CEL-24 are still present. Compared to Yamada-Nishiki, it has a more robust umami and a heaviness at the center of the flavor. The aftertaste is refreshing.

Soga numerosis. I opened the package on the pretext of my wife's birthday 🍶. The acidity is very effective, as is typical of No. 6 yeast. It has a moderate sweetness on the palate, and the sweetness and acidity give the impression of a trendy sake. On the other hand, compared to Shinmasa, which is also made with No. 6 yeast, it has a little more sake-like character, or alcohol and umami. This tendency seems to become stronger after opening the bottle, so it is better to drink it as soon as possible.

La Maison La Maison Yamada Nishiki 🍶 I saw this at Seijo Ishii and decided I wanted to try a Kuheiji for the first time in a while, so I bought it. I didn't intend to, but La Maison is basically Omachi, and Yamada Nishiki from Kurodasho seems to be a bit rare 🌾. The impression is that it has a good balance of umami and acidity, and is easy to drink in a modern way, but still retains the sake-like flavor and alcohol. The aroma is citrusy, though not strong, and there is also some ginjo aroma at this price point.

It's time for the Kabuto-Mushi season again this year🍶. It is easy to drink with a slight sweetness on the palate, a flirtatious sweetness that is typical of Senkou. The aroma in the mouth reminds me of grapefruit, and the acidity is refreshing and crisp. As you continue drinking, you can taste a bit of bitterness, which is also grapefruit-like. There is no smell of alcohol. I am impressed every year! It's not my favorite, but it's still easy to drink, and it's a reminder that summer is approaching 😁.

Dewazakura Yamahai. The lingering, damp, vat-like aroma characteristic of Dewazakura has not been my favorite since I was young, but thanks to the added complexity of flavor from Yamahai, I did not mind this one 😄. The acidity is effective, but the umami is clean and not harsh. Good sharpness.
