Moon after rain New Moon
We decided to find a sake that we like among junmai and honjozo sake, and so far we have ranked it first!
Amego 2420 is too cosy
Mizuo 2190 is in second place
Kame no Kai Junmai Ginjo Nama Low 13% alcohol
I prefer Kame no Kai to the year-round type I had before.
I think most of the low alcohol types have a similar fruity taste, like apples with a sourness.
Murayu Junmai Daiginjo
The previous Murasuke was Junmai, so we compared the two.
This one is also made with wasanbon (Japanese sugar), or is it? It tastes elegant but too sweet...
The next day and every day after that, I drank it with a sake cup, and after a week, it became easier to drink as it lost its sweetness.
I honestly think many people don't like it if they only taste it for one day. I thought it would be better to drink it while enjoying the change little by little every day 🤔.
Ding Tokubetsu Junmai Unfiltered and Hiiryuu Polishing rice 59%.
The first time I saw Ding's Special Junmai
This is a sake that can be easily enjoyed at room temperature, and we had a little bit of it every day!
It's not very glamorous, but I could enjoy it for a long time among the special junmai.
Buy it if you can find it!
Mizuo Dry Sake
Hitogokochi Polishing rice Kake rice 70% Koji rice 59
I bought it at a store in Nagano for a limited one bottle per person offer.
It was a jackpot, the best I've ever had!
It is a so-called sake, but it is 100% Hitogochiki, which means it is made in Nagano, so the taste is full, round and delicious!
The taste is full, round and delicious!
Kaiun Doi Shuzojo Akaban Omachi
Nigori sake 55% unfiltered
I wanted to try Kaiun.
There are many varieties, but I chose my favorite, Omachi, and although I didn't compare them, this was delicious!
It is nigori, but has a very good bubbling (almost none on the second day), very fruity and to my liking!
Good souvenir for a friend, and good value for money!
I would buy it again!
Suiro Shiboritate Junmai Ginjo
Miyamanishiki 59% unfiltered raw sake
The first Maaihime's Suiro.
Not so distinctive, but delicious!
The first one I bought from the brewer should not be unfiltered draft.
Shoshu Shichiken Junmai Namaishu 70%
Shichiken's Shichiken series, limited to new breweries during the new sake season
It is easy to buy at a reasonable price, and the fact that it is a pure sake gives it a clean and fruity taste.
This one is a little spicier with more acidity than the Takayasu, but I'm tired of drinking fruity sake these days (luxury), so I like to drink it occasionally.
I think my taste has changed to slightly dry.
Shichiken Hikasu Junmai Ginjyo Nama Shu 57%.
Nanaken's Nanaken series, limited to new breweries during the new sake season
Thank goodness it's easy to purchase at a reasonable price.
This next one will be much more expensive.
There are many Shichiken brands that I like, but this one is also very fruity and very tasty!
I hope to drink it again next year!
Hououmida Hongin Namazume 55
Already a candidate for this year's Cospa winner...
It's delicious and cheap enough to drink every day!
But unfortunately I can't do that due to my health...
I think I like it a little better than Masamune...
Oze no Yukidoke Junmai Daiginjo 50%
Light Nigori Nama-zake
I drank Oze's pink Junmai Daiginjo at the end of the year, but I prefer this light nigori for its freshness.
This light nigori may be the most outstanding among Oze's.
Kagutsu Masamune Tokubetsu Junmai
Polishing 60% Yume-no-Ko Alcohol 12
The classic Gakki Masamune.
Low alcohol is expected as it is the first time!
You can drink it gulpingly, gulpingly, gulpingly, gulpingly, gulpingly, gulpingly, gulpingly, gulpingly. Dangerously delicious. ✨️
The highest fruity, less bitterness, less alcohol, very easy to drink and delicious!
I will definitely repeat it again!
Houou Mita Mikumari Junmai Daiginjo
Tochigi Prefecture rice 50% polished rice
It has been a long time since we have had a Houou, Junmai Daiginjo, so we expected it to be delicious!
First of all, I was surprised by the slight bubbles, and the fruity taste was of the highest rank, so I could drink it as much as I wanted... delicious!
The second and third days, when the slight bubbles become weaker, the Daiginjo's deliciousness, especially the strong aroma, the sweetness like muscat and the clean aftertaste is also delicious!
I was very impressed with the taste for the price, and I will repeat it again!
Hello, Yamanashi ponzu lover!
Mikumari is really impressive delicious ⤴️
I had some the other day and it was really too good ✨.
I wish more people could drink it 😊.
Bunraku Kitanishi Shuzo
Junmai Ginjo 50% polished rice
I was looking forward to drinking it for the first time...
But it was left at room temperature for 3 months in the summer...
It's not a regular taste, so I'll use it for my record.
It tasted plump and dry!
Hirotogawa Special Junmai
Matsuzaki Shuzo Brewery 55
Hirotogawa after a long time!
It has become popular recently!
It's a reasonably priced special junmai, but it's calm and delicious!
You can drink it forever, and I'm sure you'll come back for more!
I've never had anything other than Toku Junmai.
I'd like to try the others!
Tanushimaru Junmai Ginjo
Wakatakeya Sake Brewery, 60% polished rice
This is my first drink.
The flavor is particularly sharp and gradually deepens.
The back of the bottle says it has a high quality acidity, but I don't think it has much acidity, bitterness or alcohol...
Personally, I'd like to see a little more sweetness...
I would like to try another brand from this brewery.
I feel it has potential for the future.
Kitajima Sake Brewing - Undiluted
MIZUKAGAMI Nama
First Kitajima recommended at the store.
To be honest, I had never heard of it, but...
Delicious, fruity and full of juiciness✨
The flavor is a bit thicker, but it has a mellowness to it that keeps you coming back for more!
The price is so reasonable that I thought it would be a great buy. I added it to my list of brands to buy as soon as I found it: ☀️
Asamai Shuzo Amado Junmai Ginjo
Land of Water Nama
55% Miyamanishiki
The first Amado, a summer sake with a refreshing label!
The acidity is moderate and the Miyamanishiki flavor comes through well.
It is easy to drink, perhaps because it has no corners, and the overall taste is round.
It has no strong characteristics, but it is a delicious sake that can be served at the dinner table or as a stand-alone sake.
