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.

As is typical of Shichiken, it is smooth, easy to drink, and goes down the throat well. The gasiness is not strong. In the latter half, the flavor of melted rice becomes stronger, but it is soft and gentle with a soft nigori.

This is the first time I've had anything other than the Sogaper Ephis No. 1 and No. 2 yeast brands, Ilya Thornton 🍶Numerosis, which is probably the most widely available: ☺️ I have the impression that it has the aroma and taste of traditional sake, as it is a more classic yeast among sogas. The sweetness is low and clear, and the alcoholiness is quite apparent. The acidity is effective right after taking a sip, and the umami spreads later. It has a long aftertaste. The classic, yet clean, taste-free structure is what you would expect from a popular sake 😄.

Shichida is an unfiltered, unpasteurized sake. Although I have had opportunities to drink Shichida itself at outside parties, I never had the impression that it was particularly delicious. But this orikarami nama is surprisingly delicious 😊. The balance of acidity and sweetness is just right for my taste, and the aroma is fruity, reminiscent of white peaches. It reminded me of Shinsei from a long time ago✨. I found a repeat every year!

Kabishin's raw sake. It appears to be a limited production, but what surprised me most was the price of 1,150 yen without tax! It is really nice to be able to try junmai ginjo nama-shu at this price. The aroma is of white peach, with a hint of sweetness in the ginjo aroma. Although it is a 16% sake, it is not alcoholic and does not have a cloying taste. This quality is surprising for the 1100 yen price range 🫢 Kamishin only gave me the impression of sweetness, but once again I felt the quality was much higher than that: ☺️

One of my colleagues recommended that I buy a bottle 🍶126, which he said should be read as doburoku. It has a refreshing sweetness, sourness, and fizz, so it is truly an adult's calpis soda! The rice is still there, so I guess it is a pulp(?) I think it's a Calpis soda with rice 😁. It's 5% alcohol, so there's almost no alcohol taste, and I can't stop drinking it... I'd drink it every day ✨.

Rainfall is now being lined up one after another at a nearby liquor store. From the reviews, it seems to be a modern type with a strong sweetness! I bought it 🍶The 🍶Kyohashirozukuri is also highly favorable ✨. The aroma is like yogurt with lactic acidity, which is typical for a sake made from the yeast yeast yeast. Very dry on the palate, the spreading taste is also clean and dry, with almost no sweetness or umami. The overall sensation is thin. The lingering aftertaste has no strong sake-like flavor. This was my first time drinking Amenuri, and I thought it was a distinctive brand that was different from other sake breweries, not too modern, yet not too old-fashioned either!
