When I heard that there was a special Kangiku sake that is only released once every four years, I had to buy it 🍶! Not only is it rare, but it's also special in that it's an unfiltered raw sake with a milled rice ratio of 29% ✨. Gohyakumangoku is a personal favorite of mine, so I was happy to see how well it matched 😊. I took it all the way out on my annual trip and opened the bottle at the hotel where I was staying 🍾. The aroma is gorgeous, sweet and fruity, like white peaches. The mouthfeel is soft and gentle, sweet but refreshing. No bitterness, which is also a characteristic of this polish. The overall impression was fragrant, fruity, yet clear and transparent. Of course it was delicious, but it was too refreshing, and there was a sense that the alcohol taste was a little noticeable. As a drinker who is usually concerned about the cost, I may prefer Denshogikiku (even if I am in the mood for it) if we are drinking the same nigori sake. But it was a special memory for me, including the fact that I drank it during my trip ✨.

It has been a little while since I bought a standard sake from Sairai. A distinct yogurt smell. It is thick and smooth on the palate, with sweetness being the main taste. Yet, it has a nice acidity and sharpness in the mouth. A few days after opening the bottle, a slight bitterness and miscellaneous tastes became noticeable. It may be best when freshly opened. It was as hassle-free and delicious as expected! Sake prices have been going up steadily, so it's nice to be able to purchase this spec for around 1,500 yen. ☺️

This is my first time drinking Kaygetsu, but CEL24 is my favorite sake, including Kameizumi, so I opened the bottle with high expectations 🍶. The aroma is like ginjo aroma and cooked rice, and as one would expect from a junmai daiginjo, it is gorgeous. The body is slightly yellowish, Since it is CEL24, I thought it would have a refreshingly sweet taste, but surprisingly, it also has a strong umami flavor. The taste is well-balanced without being too rich. It is great to be able to enjoy this level of Junmai Daiginjo for less than 2,000 yen 😆 I would like to try more brands without having too many preconceptions because it is CEL24.

Kikuhime is the pioneer of Yamahai. I had never tasted it before, perhaps because it is available at any supermarket, but my brother recommended it to me and I bought it 🍶. Yamabuki-colored body. The aroma is sweet and sour and mellow, like a mixture of brown sugar and yogurt, which is typical of Yamahai. The taste is rich, yet refreshing, with the sweetness of the rice and a strong acidity. It is similar to that of white wine. With a taste like this in an easily available sake, it certainly makes you want to repeat the experience. ☺️This is indeed the sake that is said to have sparked the boom ✨.

The aroma is sweet and gorgeous. The mouthfeel is sweet, but the taste is full, as is typical of Omachi, and the overall flavor is mellow and mild. It is the kind of sake I had envisioned for Gozenshu, and it did not disappoint. ☺️ Even though the rice is out of the top grade, it is made from 50% polished Omachi rice from Okayama Prefecture, but it can be purchased for less than 2,000 yen, which is a great cosmetic feature.

We were able to purchase this year's production and opened the bottle immediately 🍾. When the bottle is opened, it has an aroma of green apple and muscat fruits, and on the palate, in addition to the fruit aroma, there are also notes of rice and yogurt. It is less sweet and drier than last year's, and therefore a little alcoholic. After two days after opening the bottle, I drank it again and found it to be mellower than when the bottle was opened, and the sweetness and fruitiness were more apparent. It's definitely a delicious sake in my opinion, so it's nice to see it change every year: ☺️

Drinking dinner at a hotel in Hakata on a business trip. It was the first time for me to buy Ko-Imari. I was looking at it and thought it was very reasonable, but I didn't intend to be extravagant, so I thought it was just right and bought it. After I bought it, I realized that it was a four-pack bottle, but it was 900ml! I thought it was a four-pack bottle, but it was 900ml! I can taste the sweetness. It is sweet like brown sugar, but not sticky. Because it contains brewer's alcohol, there is some bitterness in the aftertaste, but not so much that it is unpleasant. Since there was 900ml of it, I couldn't drink it in one night, so I drank it again the next night.

A friend recommended Gazanryu to me after a long time 🍶 He said it was especially good back here. Unfinished unfiltered pure sake of Honjozo is rare even among my regular drinking. It has the image of a dry brand, and it is indeed dry with no sweetness. On the other hand, the aroma is fruity and rich, sweet and juicy like muscat 🍇, perhaps because it is a nama-shu.

Kawanakajima Genmai Namaishu. I bought it and brought it to my parents' house for dinner with my father 🍶. The first time I tasted it, it was more powerful and a little more alcoholic than the same ginjo-style hi-ire sake. It is more powerful and a little alcoholic than the same ginjo-hikka, but it was well received by my father as it added just the right amount of sake character to the already gentle taste of Genmai. The aroma was subdued, and like Genmai, it had a sweetness and not a strong umami. After two days of drinking, the sharpness mellowed and it became easier to drink. It was one of the good memories with my family. ☺️

I was so impressed with the CEL-24 light nigori I received last year that I bought it again this year 🍶I'm glad I didn't miss out since it's only available seasonally ✨. It has a clear aroma of rice and a clean, sweet taste typical of CEL-24, but even in the supernatant portion, the aroma of rice is strong, so it has a delicious sake-like flavor. The nigori portion in the latter half of the bottle has a more umami flavor, but it is not dull, and I was able to drink it all the way through without getting tired of drinking it. The aroma of rice was more distinct than last year's, and it was not simply a refreshing sweet sake, but I enjoyed it for what it was 😊.

Sake brought over at a friend's house. It's been quite a while since I've had Otter itself, and this was my first sparkling 🍾. It is a nigori sake, but there is not much moromi, and it is so clear that you can clearly see the other side of the glass in which it is poured. It is clear enough that you can clearly see the other side of the glass when you pour it. It has some bubbles when you pour it, but it doesn't feel very tangy in the mouth. However, there is a refreshing sensation in the aftertaste. There is a hint of sweetness, but it is not that sweet, and the umami is not strong. There is a slight bitterness. In a good sense, it was a safe sake like Otters 😃.

Nabeshima Akaban Oumachi was brought to a banquet at a friend's house. I like Nabeshima, but I have an image of it being quite powerful, so I had never touched Nabeshima with Omachi, which is one of the most powerful sake rice. But if someone bought it for me, that's a different story 😂. When I drank it, it was indeed Nabeshima-like, yet with the volume of Oumachi. However, the aroma was refreshing, and the clear mouthfeel without any alcoholiness made it easy to drink without getting tired of drinking. It was a well-balanced and delicious sake. ☺️

I bought this sake after it was recommended to me at my favorite liquor store. I'm excited about the wintery label on this nigori sake⛄️ and the price, which is under 1,500 yen including tax ✨. I haven't had such a hard time opening a bottle of sake since the Flax Cat Spark... I personally like this event element. I finally opened the bottle after repeatedly opening and closing it a little. It is a nigori sake, but the umami is not too strong and it is surprisingly easy to drink. It has the texture and aroma of nigori rice, which is good. The sweetness is restrained, but there is no sense of alcohol, so you will not get tired of drinking it.

Sake from Kurume, Yaman no Kotobuki. I got hooked on Freaks and repeated Freaks 1 and 2 several times, but this is my first time to try the standard sake. From what I hear, it used to be distributed locally as Urayama-no Kotobuki, but has become a regular from this season🍶. The aroma is sweet and mellow, like nuts and cream. The aroma is sweet and mellow, like nuts and cream, but as the name suggests, there is no sweetness in the taste. Because the aroma is sweet, it is refreshing, but has a deep flavor. It can be enjoyed on its own, but it will not interfere with food. I am not a fan of traditional dry wine, so I was afraid to try a dry wine, even though it is from Yama no Kotobuki, but I thought I had hit the jackpot 😆. It does not have the gas and sweetness of the Freaks, but I think it is a sake that shows the character of Yamazato Kotobuki.

The sansho has been sitting in the fridge for a little while since last year. This year, I opened the bottle with the aspiration to drink more and more delicious sake 🍾. Steady and tasty, just the way I like it. The gas is just enough to make your tongue tingle, but combined with the clean taste, it is refreshing. The refreshing sweetness and plum aroma made it seem like an elegant plum wine without being sticky.

Sake from Nagano has unintentionally continued since the New Year's holiday. Today's sake is not Genmai but Kawanakajima. It is a special junmai sake with a rich aroma of freshly cooked rice mixed with a slightly fruity muscat-like flavor. The mouthfeel is smooth with little resistance, followed by a subtle sweetness and a clear umami. Perhaps because it is a nama-shu, it has a slight alcohol aftertaste, but in general it has a moderate assertiveness, giving the impression of being easy to drink. There is a lingering but subtle aftertaste. The overall clarity and the gentle drinking with a modest assertiveness are the same as Genshu Mai, but I also felt the powerfulness of the different brands 🍶 Even though Genshu Mai is rarely available, this sake was satisfying enough. ☺️

The first sake of the New Year was Hitogochi Junmai Ginjo from Shinshu Kamerei. It has a youthful, fresh sweetness like muscat. Despite being fire-aged, it has a gaseous feel that makes the tongue tingle. It has a clear aftertaste with no cloying taste. I was proud that I had drunk Kamerei many times before, but this was one that made me think again, "This is delicious! It was a bottle that made me think "This is delicious!

The 2023 closing drink was a Sogapale 🍶 my father-in-law received it from a friend to celebrate, which coincidentally I'm grateful for 😊. Typical sake with a sweet and acidic aroma on the nose. The mouthfeel has a strong acidity, as is typical of yeast #6, from which a slight bitterness and sweetness spread out and flow nicely. It has its quirks, but I like it ✨I opened a bottle of Sogapale to close out the year and it made me very happy: ☺️

Here is another sake I bought on my trip to Nagano, Kawanakajima Genmai. This is only the second time in my life I have had Genmai, and this time it was a ginjo-shu with brewing alcohol🍶. The aroma is subdued. Slightly sweet on the palate, fruity like a peach. The overall flavor is even and clear with no cloying taste. Good sharpness. I had the impression that the brewer's alcohol habit was almost imperceptible, yet still achieved a good sharpness ✨. Once again, I felt that Genmai is a sake that I can confidently recommend: ☺️

Shinshu Kamerei Honjozo Sake 🐢 which I purchased at a sake brewery during a trip to Ueda 🐢 The brand I usually see is only junmai sake, so it looks fresh🫙. The aroma is fruity, like young fruit, green apple or muscat, even though it is a honjozo sake. The taste is also somewhat sweet and easy to drink. Perhaps because it contains brewer's alcohol, it has a slightly bitter taste for a Shinshu Kamerei, but it is not so bad as to be bothersome. It has a nice sharpness. Although it is clear that there is a bias, the top aroma and flavor are still Shinshu Kamerei! It was a high-cost sake that made us think 🍶.
