Gangiノ壱純米原酒生酒無濾過

I was looking forward to drinking "Ganki" for the first time in a long time and bought it immediately when I saw the 300 type on sale! It's been 3 years and my heart is dancing🔥. When I opened the bottle and poured it, there was a fruity and calm aroma of grapes and reddish purple fruits. The mouthfeel is smooth and slippery. The taste is moist and round. It has a fruity flavor with sweetness like apple or pear and astringent acidity like grapefruit, while exuding a delicate air. The dryness of the spiciness and the rice-like umami come to the surface. It's a beautifully arranged lineup that flows smoothly and harmoniously ✨. The quality of Ganki is "ah...this and that"! It is a brand that I have a lot of feelings for, as it was posted on the second day of the start of Sake no Wa 😌.

I was unexpectedly thrilled to see that it was the last one and the words "Dry +25". This is the kind of sake I was looking for...! When I opened the bottle and poured it, the aroma was a combination of lactic acid and fruit, like apple yogurt. The aroma has a presence and thickness as if a wall of sake is rushing toward you. The mouthfeel is mild and soft, wrapping the tongue. It has a hard taste with the acidity of Yamahai and a full-bodied rice flavor. It is punchy and deliciously dry with grain and caramel-type sweetness and astringency. It also has a texture like fermented seasonings such as soy sauce, and is a deliciously deep taste! And the sharpness of the spiciness that comes at the end is the quintessence. It is a flash of light, a sharp dryness that transcends the rest ✨. It is a level that makes Akagisan feel sweet! A cup of spirit. It is truly unbearable👍

It is also the first Omachi type sake in the history of Akagisan, and a limited edition sake for the challenge project...! It's "Sake Day" and today is all about the special treats! When opened and poured, the nose is clean yet aromatic, with apple and pear aromas, plus a yogurt-like lactic acidity. The mouthfeel is round yet light. The clear and transparent flavor of Oumachi spreads through the palate. The taste is condensed and beautiful, with no sharp sweet and spicy astringency. There is a slight sourness and a sharpness that quickly fades away. It has a cohesive and elegant taste! The assertiveness is modest, but it has a gorgeous aroma of melon, pear, and black honey. The balance of these flavors makes it easy to drink ✨. We toasted with our favorite "Akagisan" and the sake of the "god of sake brewing"! I am looking forward to next season's sake 😋.

This is a bottle that we had been saving since we got it on our trip to Hokuriku! We are now ready to open the bottle with the afterglow of our trip to Kagoshima👍. When you open the bottle and pour it, the aroma is like nuts, Shaoxing wine, bitter chocolate, and rape blossoms. The mouthfeel is gentle and clean. The rounded flavor gradually spreads. The pure freshness derived from organic rice, as described in the description at the time of purchase. The rich taste and lingering aftertaste still spread with aromas of bitter chocolate, custard, sesame, and tofu with a sense of maturity. Lighter than the Yamahai series we had in Kanazawa, but the profound umami and vivid acidity are quintessential ✨. Contrast between youthfulness and maturity! The unwavering presence is mesmerizing 😋.

Another Jungin type while adding Shochu "Kojika" in between. Slightly apple and muscat aroma. It also has a lactic acidic roundness, but gradually it becomes clear like a minerality. It has a beautiful flow that leads to a sharp finish. The beautiful acidity makes it easy to pair with chicken sashimi or yellowtail tataki! On the second day, we took a side trip to the Ogawa Falls and then to Cape Sata, the southernmost point on the mainland! Finally...! The feeling of deep emotion and excitement at the southernmost point of the mainland will be a memory I will cherish forever. ☺️ Soaking in the afterglow, we headed to the Tarumi area, where two natural hot springs were so comfortable that our skin felt smooth and soft! The famous yellowtail and kanpachi (yellowtail and kanpachi are famous for their fatty taste, and the kabuto-nimono and kaisen-don (seafood on top of a bowl of rice topped with vegetables and fish) are to die for. On the way back, we finished the trip with Yamagata-ya yakisoba and a long-sought-after Morizo while enjoying the view of Sakurajima. It was indeed a heartwarming two days ✨.

I was in Kagoshima from the day before yesterday to yesterday! This time we traveled from Kirishima to the Osumi Peninsula. On the first day, I visited Kirishima Jingu Shrine for the first time in a year and Kanoya for the first time. The sacred and solemn atmosphere of the shrine, and the many weighty exhibits at the Kanoya Aviation Museum. The navy curry and pork cutlets at Take-Tei were excellent. After such a day, we went to "Satsushu Masamune" for a drink with the locals at the hotel! We started with Junmai. The aroma is a mixture of yogurt and sugarcane. The mouthfeel is round and beautiful. It has a classical acidity and a grain-like moist sweetness. There is a rice-like umami flavor that flows smoothly into the palate. It was a delicious daily drink with a somewhat shochu-like structure ✨.

It's a medium looking one that's been torn to shreds from condensation when I bought it and when I brought it home😇. I will enjoy it with a future pair of sake with Kangiku! When you open the bottle and pour it, you can smell the aroma of matured citrus, tropical fruits, and oshiruko (?) in the beautiful, slender bottle. The aroma is smooth and herbal on the palate. The mouthfeel is smooth and herbal and refreshing. The taste is mild and elegant, with a hint of kiwi. The refreshing acidity and astringency flow like that of kiwi. The clear taste disappears while leaving a slight astringent aftertaste. It is smart, elegant, and delicious from start to finish! The same sake future but a totally different view of the world to enjoy ✨. This is the 10th round in Japan, excluding Okinawa where the brewery is closed! Like this "Tensei", there are many patterns that I have seen but never drank before, so I will continue my journey 💪.

Since I have been drinking a lot of seasonal sake and honjozo, I sometimes enjoy a special honjozo, which is also a standard type of sake! As usual, the costuming is outstanding👍! When you open the bottle and pour it, the aroma is sharp with a hint of rice sweetness. The mouthfeel is clean, but more rounded than normal honjozo, with a light acidity and astringency, and a delicious taste. However, it flows like the wind, and its characteristic purity and dry sharpness are still there. This was the first special version in a long time, but the flavor of this one is also unbearably delicious ✨. I don't often get to compare the two at the same time, so it was very stimulating! I'm still getting excited about it 🔥.

It is more rare than Junmai in Wakamatsu City. I had been saving it since my trip to Aizu last year, but I was able to buy it again, so I will open the bottle 🔥. When the bottle is opened and poured, the aroma is classic, yet gentle and calm. It is soft on the palate. It has a glossy touch like "Kinmon Aizu" from the same Aizu region or Fushimi-shu from Kyoto, Japan. It has a rounded brown sugar-like sweetness and a pleasant astringency like caramel. The acidity is quickly washed away and the wine is beautifully lifted. The taste is gentle and nostalgic! The basic characteristics of the junmai type, such as the rice polishing ratio, are the same, but the richness is moderate and the alcohol content is a little high. It has a deep flavor with the core strength of THE sake ✨. I have a Jungin that is more than 10 years old lying on my Buddhist altar. It is a brand that I want to continue to support in the future👍.

I didn't post this because of sleepiness, but I was having a steady Akagisan time last night! The last bottle of 300ml stock. It has a clear, light and pleasant mouthfeel with a light sweetness and umami of rice. It has a light sweetness and umami of rice flavor in a clear, light, pleasant mouthfeel with a dry, light, crisp sharpness! It's a delicious taste that will sink in after a hard day's work ✨. I'm so excited to receive the Wakamatsu souvenirs! It's hard to decide what to open first 👐.

I got it on a previous side trip to the Holy Land! It's been a year since I've had a Kangiku and a few months since I've had a Sake Mirai type, so by all means. I will enjoy it to my heart's content 🔥. When I opened the bottle and poured it, the aroma was fruity and refreshing, with hints of apples, pears, grapes, and tropical fruits. The palate is so clear that the words "pure and innocent" come to mind. The floral and aromatic aroma is accompanied by a thick, almost sugary sweetness. However, it is not too sweet, and the lightness of the gasiness and acidity, and the sharp cut-off of the dry astringency is even beautiful! It is a true gem, no less than the Kenaiyama we had last year ✨. This is one that I picked up after having a hard time deciding between other brands. I was looking for this beauty...!

Kirifuri" I buy on every trip to Tochigi. This time it was my first Jungin type! I'm going to enjoy it with a set of Tochigi souvenirs as I open my "Kakeru Gyoza" (dumplings to pour) 🥟. When you open the bottle and pour it, you will notice a glossy aroma of apples and pears. The mouthfeel is crisp with a hint of gas. It has a fresh sweetness and a bit of astringency. There is also a refreshing acidity, and a juicy flavor with the feeling of freshly picked green fruit. However, the freshness is balanced with a good sense of rice flavor. It is a delicious wine that can be enjoyed both during the meal and on its own! It is a solid Sengoku quality...! I would like to buy the special pure type next to it on my next trip to Tochigi.

Long time no see "Gunma Izumi". I was looking forward to this bottle to see the difference from the basic Yamahai as it is a precious raw Ginjo type 👐. When I opened the bottle and poured it, the aroma was slightly like grain, prunes, and rum raisins. The mouthfeel is surprisingly pale and slippery. However, when you taste it, you will find that it has a round and calm flavor. The flavor comes without being too assertive, and is sweet and austere, like a savory Western wine or jasmine tea. The acidity spreads slowly, and the umami has a plump, rice-like flavor. The taste is so delicious that you can't help but drink it without thinking it is gone ✨. It can be drunk on its own without being cloying or heavy. It has a clean and deep Gunma sake-like flavor 👍.

I had intended to take a day off from drinking, but I was defeated by the temptation of the new Akinatai fish and "Makari", a souvenir from Okayama. I will go back to Okayama with "Daisenji Shirakiku", also a souvenir from Okayama...! When the bottle is opened and poured, the aroma is elegant and calm, like melon or pear. The mouthfeel is round and moist. It has a rich and full flavor like grain, bread, and coconut. The soft and condensed sweet and sour astringent taste is a perfect combination with the sweet and crisp flavor of pickled makari! And the aftertaste is smooth and pleasant, so you won't get tired of drinking it ✨. It is a perfect match with the autumn swordfish! Maybe it's because it was fresh, but the guts have a round sweetness like sea urchin that is irresistible 😋.

The Maikaze version is the one that got me into the "Akagisan" series. I was able to secure it this year, so I have been saving it for a while 👍. When you open the bottle and pour it, it has a gentle and beautiful aroma of pears and white peaches. The mouthfeel is crisp and the slightly rounded flavor spreads. It is light and has a pleasantly pleasant flavor. The good flow from the supple and sharp sweet and sour astringency to the dry and dry sharpness is a clear and delicious taste that even makes you feel at ease ✨. It is a taste that reminds me of my first love. I'm still going after it...!

At last, the longed-for Yi Yu has arrived! The No.2 in the Oroku series after the ⭐5 type and the Jun Daigo. I will enjoy it to my heart's content 🔥. When opened and poured, it has a deep aroma of tropical fruits, plums, green apples, and cemedine. The palate is soft and smooth with oily and milky sensations. It has a unique flavor astringency and fullness like bitter chocolate and nutty. However, there is a crispness of gas and acidity, and a sweet apple and grapefruit sensation that comes gradually. It is complex and powerful, but also has a beautiful core! It is full of umami and has a slightly astringent aftertaste, but it has a good balance that does not linger. It is a standout in the series ✨. It's a cup that truly has a sense of mystery! I'd like to try the highest peak bag suspension someday...!

The last one is "Suehiro," an iron plate! Slightly banana and tropical fruit aroma. The taste is more fresh and clean than yesterday's Junmai, but the rich umami with acidity and astringency that is typical of Yamahai spreads gently in the depths, making it a great choice for Yamahai beginners ✨. The aftertaste is also crisp, and although it is Yamahai, it is not heavy, so you can enjoy it without getting tired of drinking it! This time, the Aizu trip and Aizu sake started and ended with "Suehiro". Aizu is a land of peaceful memories and ancestors, no matter what time of year you come. It was "Ah, I'm glad I came to Aizu.

The third and final group will close with the golden pair of "Isei Seishun" and "Suehiro"! Let's start with "Isei Seishun". Muscat and green apple aroma. The palate is clear and delicate. The palate is clear and delicate, with an elegant, tannic flavor, but with the fruitiness of a white wine.

The second round went to the "Izumikawa" and "Toyokuni" pair! I didn't buy "Izumikawa" this time because I got it on my last trip to Aizu, but I still want to drink it when I find it..! Let's start with "Izumikawa"! The nose has a green fruitiness with a hint of pear and melon. The mouthfeel is soft and light. It has a rounded, crisp sweetness and a light astringent taste with a neat flavor. It was a refined taste that is perfect during meals & can be enjoyed on a daily basis ✨. Accompanied by carp!
