The seventh glass was "Shichiken"! It has a gorgeous aroma of muscat and green apple. Although it is a bit on the dry side, its softness and rice-like umami neutralize the flavor without making it too crisp, making it easy to drink! The dry astringent sharpness at the end pulls it up quickly and comfortably ✨.

In search of cooler weather, the sixth cup was a "Kunimare" from Hokkaido! Mellow banana aroma. The aroma is clear and crisp, with grain and banana flavors. However, it is not too assertive, and the minerality rounds it out nicely, so it was a great taste to reset ✨. The way I was feeling the curiosity of sake from Hokkaido and Kyushu was like watching myself when I was first getting into sake 👍.

For the fifth cup, we talked about "something crisp and refreshing for summer," so I selected "Bakuren! It was sharp with a light dry taste. It was light, dry, and sharp, with a hint of muscat flavor. The crisp sharpness was perfect with a meal, and it was so delicious that I could drink it without hesitation ✨. It went well with pork shabu-shabu and chilled tofu, and I was surprised by the super-hot taste for a short while. ✌️

The fourth cup was a "Sentoku" in connection with Southern Kyushu! The aroma is mild and slightly tropical fruitiness. The taste is full-bodied with a balance between a refreshing, yet moderate sweetness and a flexible acidity and astringency. However, it was delicious and perfect during a meal as it fades away while retaining its initial lightness ✨.

The third glass went to "Tenshi"! Fresh fruity apple-like aroma. Pure apple-like sweetness coming out of bright and clear + concentrated sweet, spicy, acidic astringent flavor on the palate. The clean aftertaste was as delicious as ever ✨. Remembering my trip to Kagoshima and Miyazaki just a year ago. I got a lot of recommendations for places to go during our travel talk, so I hope to go back👍.

The second glass was a "Houou Mita"! Melon-like aroma. Contrast between the supple sweetness and light acidity and astringency. The fresh mouthfeel was also a quintessential taste! One of my friend's favorite brand. It was worth recommending it to him.

Yesterday, for the first time in several years, I went to Summerland! It was a beautiful sunny summer day. I enjoyed myself to my heart's content, returning to my childhood with water slides and flowing pools, and returning to adulthood with 🍺 in between. ☀️ In the evening, we had a sake time with friends. We had all the Otter Sake we could drink and since it was unopened, we had to have it freshly opened ✨. Berry aroma. The smooth and clear mouthfeel with minerality and fruity flavors such as kiwi and strawberry. The astringent aftertaste comes later. It's a pure Dai, but it's delicious on its own or with food!

I bought a cup of sake that was an unfamiliar brand. Sometimes I stop by a liquor store and while I'm browsing, I see a new brand of sake, so I tend to stop by ✨. When you open the bottle, the aroma is mellow and fragrant, like grains and caramel. The mouthfeel is slippery, but the thick flavor of aged sake spreads out in a flash. The punchy, spicy acidity is interspersed with sweetness like grains and bitter chocolate. The overall taste is classical. The bitter astringency and acidity linger on the palate while the finish is refreshing. It is a delicious and crisp taste against the flavor ✨. I had heard of this brewery somewhere, but it was the oldest and most famous brewery in Japan, wasn't it? Thanks for the precious cup 😋.

Obtained in Nahari as a souvenir from Kochi! I will enjoy it with the utsubo (moray eel), another Kochi souvenir, while thinking back on the scenery of Muroto and local delicacies! When you open the bottle and pour it, the aroma is crisp and gorgeous, like green apples. The palate is smooth and dry with a light, refreshing taste. The rice flavor spreads out from within. The light, not too assertive taste of sweet and sour astringency is perfect for eating! It has a light sharpness that connects well with the light and fluffy flavor of moray eel and eel ✨. It is a bit drier than "Minami", but it shows off its capabilities as a food sake without regret! Eel from Shizuoka and moray eel from Kochi! I'm smacking my lips over the top 😋!

I got it at the right time because it is a rare four-part bottle type! I was looking forward to this bottle since it is the first Akita Sake Komachi version since "Tasake"👍. When I opened the bottle and poured it, the aroma was of honeyed apples, pears, and vanilla. The palate is a paradise of smooth, dense sweetness. The elegant sweetness and flavor of ripe fruits like white peaches and apples with honey makes you smile 😋. The beautiful acidity and slightly astringent accent that comes out from the soft taste. It is truly a beautiful sake! The lingering astringent aftertaste is lifted up with a crispness. This is a gem that warns against drinking too much ✨. A moment to be healed by the sweet and tasty taste. It is the No. 1 brand that we hope will be available in more variations of Yongo bottles 🙏.

Good evening, ma-ki! Not just sweet, but elegant is the quintessential "Hanayuup" ✨. I just hope they will expand their lineup as it is different from "Suiyu" and "Ryoseki" as well...!

New spring and summer appearances 🐶. I've been buying this series every year since its debut, and each year it changes in composition and flavor, making me want to keep up with it ✨. When you open the bottle and pour it, it has a fresh green apple aroma. The mouthfeel is light and gaseous and refreshing. It has a lightness that makes it hard to believe that it is an unfiltered, unpasteurized sake. It has a slight sweetness and a touch of a splash, making it almost cider-like in flavor! Of course, it also has a freshness that is typical of nama sake, with a melon-like overtone. It has a freshness that is typical of nama sake, with a melon-like overtone.

The cool taste and sharpness are typical of "Akagisan" even when unfiltered. The scenery of Akagisan (⛰️) in summer, which is called a natural refrigerator, seems to come to mind!

We obtained it at a point in western Japan! I was troubled by the variety from Hokuriku to Kyushu, but this time I selected a pure large type of "Katano Sakura" which is rarely seen in the market. I will enjoy it while reminiscing about the scenery of my trip to Kansai 🍶. When I opened the bottle and poured it, the aroma was gentle, clear, elegant, and reserved. The mouthfeel is pure and clean. As you savor it, the sweetness and umami of Yamadanishiki, which gives the impression of grain and freshly cooked rice, spreads gently. The mellow, concentrated taste of spicy, acidic and astringent aroma emerges. However, it is not too assertive, and the lingering astringent taste is left behind as it is quickly lifted up! It has the richness of flavor typical of Osaka sake. The richness of flavor typical of Osaka sake and the elegance typical of Jun Dai sake. It is a delicious taste with a pleasant power balance ✨. We also got Fukuoka's famous sweets at the same time! I'll be steadily saving up for another trip 🔥.

Personally, I like the "Dragon God" series better than the Ozeyuki series. He is the one who makes me want to get my hands on it on a regular basis👍. When you open the bottle and pour it, the aroma is fruity and refreshing, like muscat and melon. The mouthfeel is light and fresh. The taste is bright and pure sweetness like melon and the astringent taste slowly spreads. The finish is crisp and clear. A slightly astringent aftertaste. The mouthfeel is perfect, and the cost is also perfect! The juicy fruitiness of Ozeyuki and the crispness typical of Gunma sake are a perfect duet! A gem not to be overdrunk ✨.

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 😋.

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 👐.
