Obtained on the way back from a recent trip to Tochigi. It is a rare sake rice + sake store original. My luggage was full of Tochigi souvenirs, but I couldn't resist picking it up. When I opened the bottle and poured it, the aroma was clear and gentle, like melon, pear, and white peach. The palate is clear and clean. It melts and seeps through the mouth. It has a purity as if it were breathing mountain air. In the middle of it, there is a soft and coherent sweet, sour, and astringent flavor like melon and pear, and a sense of rice. It has a refined taste that disappears like a haze, and you find yourself emptying your sake cup! It has a high level of clarity and pleasant umami that reminds me of the "Sora" of "Houraisen" that I had before ✨. Kudo quality! Thank you for this precious encounter 😋.

Good evening, stst 😃. That is a very unusual rice. I've never seen the red label either 😅. The review makes it sound like a classy sake 🧐I'd like to try this one 😆.

I got it at an antenna store in Shiga before! I had been looking forward to this occasion, as I had not been able to find "Furoizumi" in sake stores even though they carry it. When I opened the bottle and poured it, I found a mildly fruity aroma of pears, yellow peaches, and apricots. The mouthfeel is dense, and the full-bodied flavor of rice comes through in a rush. It is rich, but still has a freshness and punch that is typical of nama sake. After a round sweetness like mitarashi or kuromitsu, spiciness and acidity flow into a bitter taste with a strong astringency. However, the astringent taste is quickly and smoothly taken over by the astringent taste. The powerful, concentrated flavor and the bright sharpness that seems to contradict it. It is a delicious wine that will have you falling into a swamp before you know it! It has a depth like the "Laughing Four Seasons" Junmai that I drank before. The punch without showiness is unbearable...!

Got this as a Fukui souvenir on a trip to Hokuriku! Enjoy this Fukui souvenir set along with Eiheiji's black sesame tofu✨. When opened and poured, the nose has a freshness like apple and muscat, with a mild sweet and sour fruit yogurt-like aroma. The palate is clear and light with a mineral feel. Pure, light sweetness like peaches with a bright acidity and astringency that follows. There is a roundness with a slightly mature taste, but it is a fresh and delicious wine with no habits at all! It is truly a glossy, smooth taste! It is rich but not cloying, and goes perfectly with elegant black sesame tofu 😋.

This is a local brand that I got as a Tochigi souvenir! I was looking forward to seeing the difference between this bottle and the "Houou Mita" ✨. When I opened the bottle and poured it, the aroma was very reminiscent of "Hououmida", with a hint of muscat and pear, albeit discreetly. The mouthfeel is light and soft. It has a light and crisp sweetness of lychee and white grapes, and a chili acidity. The astringency and spiciness gradually come in towards the end of the palate. It is moderately well-balanced and suitable for mid-meal, but the astringent, green, gourd-like taste is delicious and addictive! The light sharpness gives it a crispness, and I have the impression that it lives up to "Houou Mita" as well. It has a daily taste that is typical for the local market! I'm just curious about the Junmai type I saw at the same time👍.

Yesterday, I was in Tochigi, Japan for a trip to Kinugawa & Utsunomiya ✨. I came to Tochigi again this year! From the Spacia to Kinugawa Onsen, Nikko Maitake mushrooms, Utsunomiya Gyoza.... We have been enjoying our trip every year 👍. And this time, we had "Kibuna" with gyoza again. It has a good sweetness and richness with a touch of sugarcane, and a refreshing dry sharpness. It was an excellent combination that synchronized and reset the flavor of the gyoza! It was a bit of a downpour, but it was also fun to enjoy the hot spring while listening to the sound of the rain. We are also looking forward to the souvenir sake we got..!

You don't see it very often, but when I do, I always pick up a bottle of "Murasaki Uchu"! This is one that makes my heart flutter, as it is the first bottle since my trip to Iwate last year + the first in the series to be brewed with flower yeast! When you open the bottle and pour it, you can smell strawberries, aromas, and floral aromas. The mouthfeel is smooth and clean, while the round & gorgeous sweetness spreads out. The flavor is pleasantly rich with strawberries and berries. However, the sweetness is not persistent, and the balance of acidity and astringency is crisp. After the sweetness is gone, you can also taste the mild umami of rice. It is a soothing cup with a gentle flavor that allows you to drink it calmly. The aroma, umami, and the end of the story are all beautiful and delicious ✨. Brilliant" indeed! A true "purple space"!

This is the 5th bottle of this year's Maikaze series! It's been a while since I've had a "Kantou no Hana", but this is the first Maikaze type, so it's one I've been looking forward to👍. When I opened the bottle and poured it, it was clear and had a slightly fruity aroma. It has a crisp mouthfeel and a gaseous feel, making it refreshing and sharp. I was surprised at the dry taste, which is outstanding among the Maikaze series and other sake from the same brewery that I have had! However, it is not only spicy, but also has the mild sweetness and umami of "Maikaze". The freshness of the lush, raw sake and the bright astringency are also present in this well-proportioned taste ✨. The aftertaste is also refreshing. The aftertaste is also refreshing, similar to that of a Ramune or cider! I was surprised at how different it was from the "Sei", "Meiho Akagi", and "Hizirizm" I have had in the past! But the interesting thing is that I can feel the same atmosphere at the core 👐.

Summer yokohama harvested with beetles! It was last year too, but we are so grateful to have them with us if the timing is right. ☀️ Calm and fresh aroma of pear and green apple type. The palate is clear and light. It is pleasant to drink, flowing cleanly and vividly. When tasted, it has a soft and aromatic tropical fruit, melon, and pear-like juicy sweetness and roundness. The refreshing acidity and spiciness flow through it and finish it off crisply. It has the flavor of tropical fruits and a cool, refreshing feeling like a clear blue sky. It is a delicious taste that brings everlasting summer islands to mind. 🏝️ The same refreshing taste, but different from that of beetle...! I hope to get it again next year ✨

The heat is no longer at a level where the sun hurts😇. It's a little early, but it's time for the beetles that we were lucky enough to harvest again this year! When opened and poured, the nose has a refreshing citrus and white grape aroma. The mouthfeel is cool and refreshing as expected! However, perhaps because it is an Edo-style wine, the balance of acidity and astringency is less sweet and more elegant than the last time I drank it. The lemon squash and citrus sensations are still present, but it also has a delicious white grape and lychee-like beauty! The lightness of the wine disappears quickly with a lingering astringent taste that gradually fades away. The same goes for the caution against overdrinking ✨. The acidic combination with the "wreckage"! I want to get over the heat in the "sky" (impossible 🌞).

Among the Maikaze series, I have long been curious about the Maikaze sake from the Takamusume Brewery. I was so excited to try this one, which is different from "Sakiyami" and "Takamusume"...! The bottle was opened with the lid flying off like a rocket. The aroma is sweet and fresh, with hints of white peaches, apples, and melon. The mouthfeel is refreshing with a solid gasiness. The combination of Maikaze's beautiful sweetness, gasiness, and light acidity gives it a clear, fruity taste. After the fruitiness passes, the minerality and the rich flavor of the rice spread out! The wine is crisp and clear, with a light astringency and spiciness that finishes off the palate. It's a quintessential taste ✨. It reminds me of "Sakiyami" in terms of drinking comfort! I think I will buy this again next year 😋.

The Maikaze from Yuu, which was delicious last year. It is one of the bottles we look forward to drinking, as it is unfiltered, raw, and bagged! When opened and poured, it has a fresh and fruity aroma of banana, melon, and pear. The mouthfeel is smooth and clean. The taste is clear and sharp with a slight astringency. The wine has a refreshing flavor with sweet and sour fruit and rummy notes. The brightness disappears without any change. It still has a hard feeling, but just like last year, it will surely blossom with a change of taste ✨. It has a graceful lightness that is hard to believe it is unfiltered junmai. I would like to try the seasonal version of the "Yuu" series 👍.

Today is a party with friends, with a few days off from drinking! We'll open a bottle of the special one who is not ashamed to be the star of the show✨. The aroma is gorgeous and sparkling, like high-end Muscat or La France, yet calm and elegant. Gorgeous on the palate! The palate is clean and smooth, with a slight gasiness that makes it fresh and pleasant. The taste is full of luscious and elegant fruitiness that is truly worthy of the finest. The taste is accented with a mature accent of acidity and astringency, and it flows beautifully. The taste is so artistically beautiful that words are unnecessary to describe the 14 Worlds! I am so grateful to have been able to obtain it 👏.

Sushi time! It's hot, so we'll start with 🍺 and then we'll have a big bowl of sake 🍶. Mineral and light on the palate. The clear dry taste has a core of umami from the rice. The crispness of the sake is unobtrusive, hard but fresh. It is a perfect accompaniment to sushi, as it does not interfere with the sushi, but is in tune with it with its umami and resets it with its kirei, making it a delicious and perfectly salted accompaniment during a meal. Freshly deconstructed red meat and toro. Freshly deconstructed red meat and toro, seasonal sea bream, kibinago, scallops, striped horse mackerel, and more.... It's a time when your taste buds will not be able to stop smacking their lips!

I got it at a sake brewery on my Manza Onsen trip last year: ♨️ I kept it for a year because I wanted to enjoy it paired with Akizakura. We are now ready to open the bottle 👍. When opened and poured, it has a bright yet aromatic aroma of prunes and kiwi. The mouthfeel is pure and clean, just like Gunma sake. Immediately after, there is a hint of shellfish? Tide? A fresh green feeling? The unique flavor of fresh greenery? Then comes the stimulation of a spicy and astringent taste. After the stimulation is gone, the round flavor of rice spreads out, although it is light and delicate. The bitter taste of caramelized sweetness in the depths, and the sharpness that rounds off the taste in a clear manner. The complex and deep flavors that emerge from the clarity are interesting and delicious! The "Higen" series from the same brewery is one of the sharpest in Gunma in terms of spiciness. While at its core it has the same atmosphere, the different worldview is impressive ✨.

Since it was 6/6, we opened a bottle of Shinmasa, which we had been saving for a year! It has been laid up for a year, so let's have a toast on the day of 6! When the bottle is opened and poured, it has a gentle aroma of white peaches and plums, as well as a fresh, green, fresh aroma. The mouthfeel is crisp, but soon after, the wood vat feeling spreads and makes its presence felt. As the woody flavor passes through, the taste is sweet, sour, and astringent, and refreshing. After the sweet, sour, and astringent taste, you can taste the flavor of the rice-like, light, improved Nobukou, and it finishes off in a clean and refreshing manner. It is a truly tiered lineup, a deliciousness beyond description ✨. I served it in a flax cat glass with my partner! We will enjoy it with the 66 pair of "Kaze no Mori" that we just opened 😋.

I had decided to open this one in June! Last year, it was the middle pick type, but this time we are going to use the normal version👍. When you open the bottle and pour it, the aroma is rich and deep with cemedine, berries, tropical fruits, etc. The mouthfeel is mineral and fresh. The mouthfeel is mineral and fresh. The palate has a fresh, citrusy feel with a touch of gas, but also a soft, berry-like flavor with body.

Tanigawadake" is my second favorite in the Maikaze series after "Akagisan"! This year, too, we were able to obtain a rare raw type of sake, and we are very happy about it! When the bottle is opened and poured, it has a crisp, fruity aroma of green melon and green apple. The mouthfeel is refreshing. It has a crisp and spicy lightness that is typical of Tanigawadake. There is a hint of sweetness with a refreshingly juicy apple flavor on top of the acidity. From there, the astringent taste tightens up the refreshing sensation. It is a two-fold deliciousness of coolness and juiciness ✨. Less lush and softer than Akagisan. As with every year, even with the same Maifu, they are all different and all good 👐. If I had tried this brand before "Akagisan" when I was new to Gunma sake, I might have woken up to this one. They are truly a two-top...!

The Maikaze series is something I look forward to every year! The first one is of course "Akagisan" (Mt. Akagi) 🔥. When the bottle is opened and poured, it has a mild aroma of white peaches and pears. The mouthfeel is fresh and clean. The astringent taste of green fruit comes first, followed by a light sweetness that is typical of "Maikaze" with its purity. The freshness of the freshness and the coolness that is typical of "Akagisan" (Mt. Akagi). Akagisan" and its vivid flavor reminds one of the fresh green Akagisan (⛰️)! On the other hand, as you savor it, the full-bodied flavor typical of nama-zake spreads like honey. The trinity of the sake, Akagisan, and Maikaze is well balanced and delicious ✨. Akagisan has finally reached the 90 CI! I'm having a hard time deciding what the 100 will be today 💪.

900 Check in ㊗️ I thought I might meet you at the destination, but I'm going to have a stable "Akagisan" this time too! All brewed in Gunma Prefecture, "Yamamurasaki"✨. When I opened the bottle and poured it, the aroma was slightly sweet, peachy and aromatic, beautiful and calm. The mouthfeel is clear and soft. It has a rounded and pleasant taste with a hint of pure sweetness. The crisp spiciness that is typical of Akagisan and the light flavor of the rice come together to create a refreshingly enjoyable taste! Then comes the astringent taste of kiwi and green fruits in between. This accent is also good, and the beautiful sharpness that disappears without a hitch keeps the sake flowing👍. Finally, the 1000th is in sight...! I'm going to relax and enjoy each and every encounter 🍶.
