At the end of the year, I visited Joyo Sake Brewery in Yamashiro, Kyoto. I purchased a limited edition sake that was sold by measure from a barrel filled directly after brewing 🍶. Although the rice polishing ratio is undisclosed, it is said to be Junmai Daiginjo-grade polish, which makes it even more special ✨. As you would expect from a Daiginjo class sake, it is fruity. The mouthfeel is smooth, and the umami taste is also present but not strong. The taste itself is not too sweet, but the fruity aroma makes it feel slightly sweet and easy to drink. A good sake at the end of the year. ☺️

The third drink at an all-you-can-drink sake bar. I was delighted to find that it was the newest sake from Tobiroki, a new draft sake! Compared to the Jikin and Jyushiyo before it, it was surprisingly refreshing 😃. The aroma is mild both on the nose and in the mouth. Compared to the previous two cups, which were full of fruitiness, it was more umami-centric, but not thick. It is as refreshing as water and has no peculiarities.

Second glass of sake at an all-you-can-drink restaurant. Jikin's and Aizan is too extravagant ✨. Aroma like strawberries. It has just the right amount of sweetness and acidity to give it a freshness. Compared to the first cup of Jyushiyo, the fruitiness is milder and a bit more umami. Naturally, it is clean with no cloying taste. Since the sake is as good as Jijikin, I would compare it to Jyushiyo, but I was more impressed with the more fruity Jyushiyo, and felt that Jyushiyo was a little stiffer. But of course both were delicious cups😊.

Although our Christmas is not Champagne, we opened a bottle of a new wine from a gaseous producing region just to get in the mood 🍾. The nose is mild, with a lactic acid aroma. In the mouth, it has a sour and fruity aroma reminiscent of plums, and is a bit like plum wine with soda. The gaseous sensation is more subdued than in previous years. The taste is moderately umami and moderately sweet, as is usual with Sanzu. It has a fruity and cool taste like Japanese pear. It was fresher than usual, which is only possible with new sake. ☺️

We went to an all-you-can-drink sake store. I was told that I could have one glass of Jyushiyo, so I decided to order it before I got drunk! I ordered it first. I was amazed at how delicious it was from the first sip, even without any preconceived notions! I was in awe with my friend who went with me ✨. From the first sip to the finish, it was fruity, reminiscent of white grapes and green apples, and disappeared cleanly without any cloying taste at all... Now they say the concept is affordable and with brewing alcohol. Unbelievable😇

This is the first time I purchased Ariiso sake. I had seen it at liquor stores frequently, so I bought it 🍶. It seems to be a Hokuriku sake, especially from Niigata and Toyama! I got the impression that it is typical of Hokuriku, especially Niigata and Toyama. So called "light and dry" 🌾. I think it is better to drink it with food rather than just by itself. It has a smooth mouthfeel and the umami spreads quickly, but it has a nice sharpness. The strong umami has a strong impact, but the alcohol does not linger in the aftertaste for a 17% alcohol content.

I don't usually buy this brand even though I know it's good. Because it has a lower alcohol content 😂 lol Sure enough, it's very good! But is it sake? It's more like a liqueur. Even though it is made with red yeast, I have to take my hat off to the rice and malted rice for giving this strawberry flavor that reminds me of the sweetness and sourness of eating strawberries 🍓 I even thought there was no need for strawberry liqueur. I even thought that there was no need for strawberry liqueur. I have tried other brands of sake made with red yeast, but among them, this is the best so far in terms of its clear and fruity taste!

My mentor mentioned the red label Mazan, aka Akamazan, ⚔️, as the most delicious sake he had ever tasted when he was a student. I thought it was hard to find it, but I happened to find it and bought it. According to the liquor store, of the freshly pressed new sake, only the portion that is ordered is sold as red, and the rest is fired and made into regular black Mazan. The aroma is mild despite being a ginjo, but the mouthfeel is fruity and sweet. The sweetness is quickly followed by umami, and there is a lingering alcohol taste. Not an unusual taste in the evolution of sake in recent years, but certainly a sensation that I would have been surprised if it had been served at a student drinking party (and decades ago) 😄... I am glad I had the chance to taste it!

I thought I hadn't seen him at my first Yamasan🍶 Nagano, and then I heard that he is a revived brewer. The brewer is a young master brewer in his 30s who trained in Kyoto! The aroma is sweet and gorgeous, and the mouthfeel is sweet as well. The umami is not strong. It is crisp and clean, but I felt a strong sense of alcohol on the finish. It has a greenish-yellow vegetable flavor and a kiwi-like fruitiness that is typical of Yamae Nishiki. I couldn't tell. I was told that both the brewer and the brewer's staff are growing, but this sake had a sense of refinement. I had high expectations for the future 😄.

This is the second craft sake 🍶 I have purchased recently to expand my knowledge 🍶 after the Shozora I drank last month, and the second one in my life. This one is a pioneer(?) in craft sake. Rice and agave flower style, the mixture other than rice is also hops 🌾 here. Sweet on the palate, refreshing and light feeling makes it easy to drink, and even though it's 14 degrees, it's a nice problem to slurp up on its own sake 😂. However, maybe due to my lack of experience, I may not be able to tell the difference in taste from the first Shozora I drank 🤔Popular pricing cosa Fat! <Details The body is no different than a typical light nigori sake. The taste is sweet and refreshing, the aroma and taste are fruity but not too strong. If you ask me if it is a Sauvignon Blanc aroma, I can't really pinpoint it. There is a hint of bitterness peculiar to hops, but it is not bothersome, and like beer, it is refreshing and good.

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.

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.
