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!

It was one of the brands featured prominently among the up-and-coming breweries in February's dancyu. This is the first time I have purchased this brewery, which is obsessed with Ogawa yeast. The aroma is not strong, but has a nice banana and melon aroma. The mouthfeel is round with a touch of sweetness. After that, the impression is clean and sharp, and the umami is not strong. The clean and light mouthfeel was a feeling that is typical of sake from Ibaraki Prefecture 😃I was told that Ogawa yeast is characterized by low acidity, but it was sharp enough and the ginjo aroma was well developed!

If you come on a trip to Shizuoka, today, February 23, happens to be the day of Mt. Fuji 🗻. Fuji, which was beautifully visible from the morning ✨. We got our evening drinks at a local liquor store. On a day like this, I thought I might buy a high spec of Isoboast. I was a little bit enthusiastic, but they only had a super high spec sake that cost over 10,000 yen for a 4-ounce bottle, so I gave up... But then, there was a very tempting freshly brewed sake on the bottom shelf! I hesitated for about 10 seconds before buying it and opened the bottle at the hotel. I had the impression that Isobojiman was clean and refreshing, but this one had a gorgeous aroma. The mouthfeel is smooth and mineral, with a moderate sweetness. The middle part of the bottle has a strong umami flavor, but it is rounded and not cloying, and it also contains sweetness here. Despite the alcohol content of 16-17%, the wine was not tiring to drink, nor did it have a harsh alcoholic taste, and it was enjoyable to continue drinking. My first Isobojiman draft sake was even better than I expected when I bought it😊It was such a nice sake that I even dared to come to Shizuoka at this time of the year to buy it, even if it is cold!

Sake from Fujieda City, which was given to me at a hotel on my trip to Shizuoka. When I heard it was a fruity sake, I ordered it 🍶. It has a fruity aroma but is clean and crisp. The clean yet gorgeous taste typical of Shizuoka was delicious, thanks to the travel effect!

I unintentionally let it sit in the fridge for a year...I opened it for myself for Valentine's Day 🍶. Strong aroma like a yeast yeast yeast yeast yeast. It might be getting old... However, it tastes good and maintains roughly what it was right after I bought it. Sweet and sour, refreshing. The old aroma has softened after a day of storage. The result was delicious, but I still felt that even if it was kept in the fridge, you should drink the sake as soon as possible 😄.

I've been trying out the Oumine I've seen since last year anyway 🍶I've been paying attention to certain brands, and as a result, I didn't know there were so many different types of sake rice! I've bought so many 😂. Among them, this time it's the special Aizan 🌾. The aroma is sweet and fruity like white peaches typical of Omine 🍑. The aroma is sweet and fruity, like white peaches 🍑! There is a slight bitterness in the aftertaste. However, on the day the bottle was opened, it was quite alcoholic and sharp, so the sipping did not go as far as I had expected. After a day of drinking, the taste became rounder and I could fully enjoy the deliciousness of Aizan. As a result, I enjoyed it very much, but so far I think I like Yamada-Nishiki unfiltered unpasteurized sake the best in Omine 🤔.

This is the first time I saw and purchased a sake called Fukuji🍶 I want to try a variety of new fresh sake. It is the only sake brewery in Kushiro. You can feel a little bit of alcohol, but it tastes somewhat cutesy, and the overall impression is gentle. There is a slight sweetness on the palate, a mineral and gradual umami in the middle, and a crisp and clean finish. Perhaps it is because I don't have many opportunities to drink sake from Hokkaido, but I felt that it had a slightly different taste from sake from anywhere else 😄.

It's been a really long time since I've seen Niida Zenshu🍶 out drinking so much. The aroma and taste are typical of a sake yeast yeast yeast, sweet and sour. Despite the 85% milled rice ratio, there is no strong sense of umami, no miscellaneous taste, and it is clean and refreshing. It has been a long time since I drank it, but it has the same characteristic flavor that makes you think, "Oh, it's Shizen-shu. I dare say that because of its uniqueness, you can't really tell the difference between brands 🤔.

An unfiltered unpasteurized sake that is only available in Omine for a limited time. This is the first Dewa Sanzu🌾 that I have tasted in Omine. I had bought a bottle of Yamadanishiki Hi-ire at the same time, so I dared to keep some for comparison 🍶. It has a gaseous feeling and a gorgeous aroma on the palate, which is typical of new unfiltered unpasteurized sake (☺️) Compared to Yamadanishiki, it has less sweetness and a more refreshing taste. It is very tasty on its own, but it is difficult to match it with food🤔I felt a bit of bitterness when I paired it with Japanese food.

I've been hooked on Omine since last year's unfiltered raw Yamadanishiki. I bought it again because I wanted to compare the hi-ire version with it. It doesn't have the gasiness and freshness of the raw sake, but it is still refreshingly sweet and fruity, even in the hi-ire version. ☺️ I prefer Omine's Yamadanishiki brand over other sake rice such as Omachi because it has a more pronounced sweetness ✨. Maybe because of the refreshing feeling, there was a bit of strong alcohol in the aftertaste.
