Kawanakajima Genmai Junmai Daiginjo HARMONIC EDITION. This is the first time we have had the opportunity to taste Kawanakajima Genmai! The HARMONIC EDITION is a 1:9 crossbreed of Miyamanishiki (49% milled rice) and Yamadanishiki (35% milled rice), and aged at a low temperature for 6 months without filtration to achieve a harmonious flavor. It has a yellowish color, a honey-like nuance on the nose, and a silky touch on the palate, with a rich sweetness that is beautifully extracted. The palate is silky with a rich sweetness that is beautifully extracted, yet the aftertaste is fading. The elegant sweetness of Yamadanishiki and the crispness of Miyamanishiki are in perfect harmony, and this exquisite balance is a first for us!

Kamo Nishiki BRILLIANCE Koshi-tanrei. From Kamo Nishiki BRILLIANCE, this bottle is made from Koshitanrei, a cross between Yamadanishiki and Gohyakumangoku, developed with the prestige of Niigata Prefecture. We have already had a repeat of this season with another bottle. When the bottle is chilled and uncorked, it has an elegant top aroma reminiscent of melon and pear, and even after about two months from the lot production date, you can still taste the gasiness. The first impression is clear, clean, and light, but with a fullness of flavor and elegant acidity. Combined with the low alcohol content of 13 degrees and the elegant sake quality, it is somewhat reminiscent of the days of the sun. This is a bottle that achieves the ultimate in refinement and perfection, and is one that impresses with Kamo Nishiki's skill!

Misuzu Shinshu Secret Sake Hanpukai 2025 Gold Course. This year's Misuzu is an ambitious blend of Miyamanishiki and Omachi unfiltered raw sake! It has an apple-like nose with a strong impression of acidity along with a robust flavor spread by Omachi. The crisp and refreshing aftertaste is typical of Miyamanishiki. It is an interesting discovery that Miyamanishiki and Omachi, two sake rice varieties at opposite ends of the spectrum, are surprisingly in harmony with each other!

This time, the challenge is a Junmai Daiginjo made entirely from Yamae-Nishiki produced in Nagano Prefecture and polished to 49%. It has a gorgeous nose reminiscent of peaches and muscats. It has a smooth texture with no cloying taste, a refreshing spread of sweetness, a mild umami and a beautiful acidity with a smooth, mildly bitter aftertaste. Compared to last year's hanpukai, this wine is much tastier! A week after the bottle is uncorked, the flavor is more lively, and the umami and crisp acidity are even more pronounced!

Aozora Special Junmai Omachi. I went to Kyoto on a business trip. I was looking for a place nearby where I could have dinner alone, but I changed my mind and bought some Kyoto sake at the basement of Kyoto Isetan and drank it in the room. I found Souzora, a 500 ml bottle that was just right. I chose an unfiltered, unfiltered, unfiltered, unfiltered, unfiltered sake from Omachi in Akaban, which is only available seasonally. The aroma was slightly peachy on the nose, and the palate had a soft and smooth texture with a hint of freshness, although it did not have much gasiness. The firm body is the essence of Omachi, and the acidity is assertive along with the spread of umami. It went well with grilled yuba and mackerel sushi, both of which were also purchased at a department store!

This Bodai Hashiro x Nama Hashiro was brewed only once as a tribute to the fantastic Bodai Hashiro x Yamahai Hashiro that was brewed for 3 years starting in 2008 B.Y. This Bodai Hashiro x Nama Hashiro was brewed for one time only. It was released after one year of aging in the brewery! Rich aroma of almonds and roasted nuts, The rich aroma of almonds and roasted nuts, the full-bodied sweetness, and the complex flavor spread out. It has a dry impression, yet the acidity is well drawn out. The aftertaste is strangely light, perhaps due to the sharpness of the acidity. It is a unique sake design that is typical of Tsuchida. It is served with Camembert cheese made from raw milk produced in Tone Numata. The characteristic acidity went well with the fresh Camembert!

Yamasan Yamasumi 2022BY Junmai Daiginjo Yamae Nishiki light nigori. Yamasan, which I received for the first time the other day, was so delicious that I acquired this gem, which is a two-year aged first vintage from the year 2023, the year of the restart. The aroma is like a ripe melon, and when you put it in your mouth, you will be surprised that even though it has been aged for 2 years, you can still feel the gas and the freshness has not been lost. On the other hand, the mellow texture on the tongue and the lactic acidity of the umami taste that you feel at the end of it give you a sense of maturity, and the balance is miraculous!

The rice used for this sake is "Ken-Aiyama", which is produced in Mima City, Tokushima Prefecture from Aiyama seeds. The rare Ken-Aizan is used in the brewery Miyazumi Meikozo, and this year it is only available at Yajima Sake Brewery! This year, it is available only at Yajima Sake Brewery. It has an aroma of muscat, lychee, and a slight citrus nuance on the nose, and a firm gassy sensation that pleasantly stimulates the throat. The elegant sweetness and deep umami spread out with a clean taste, bringing out the full flavor of Kenaiyama. The rich sweetness and subtle bitterness of the ogara-mi accentuate the wild impression of this year's wine. We enjoyed it again this year!

Tobiroki Junmai Daiginjo. After a very busy week, I rewarded myself with a bottle of Tobiroki Junmai Daiginjo. The nose has a banana-like top note, and the full sweetness of the rice is clearly perceptible. The concentrated umami is extended, but it is also refreshingly clean with an elegant acidity.

The sake opener I purchased with support from Kurafan has arrived, so I immediately put it to use and pulled the bottle open. The nose has a refreshing top note with citrus nuances such as lychee and grapefruit, and a slight chili sensation at the back of the throat. The taste is discreetly sweet, but with a sense of concentration. The characteristic fruity sweet and sour, refreshing acidity and firm bitterness create a sharp aftertaste. What is the result?

Hououmida Akaban Junmai Daiginjo, bottle warmed and fired. This Junmai Daiginjo Akaban is made from Yamada-Nishiki harvested in the contracted areas stretching from the Sha district to Yoshida and Mizuo in the Special A district of Hyogo Prefecture, polished to 40%. Among the special A districts, the Sha district is less affected by the soil and is considered to have the best flavor of Yamada-Nishiki as a variety. This time, we will have the bottle-warmed, flame-ignited version. The aroma has a muscat-like aroma that is typical of Hououmida, and when you take a sip, the sensual silky touch leads you to a full spread of mellow sweetness. The lingering aftertaste is colored by a concentrated umami and elegant acidity. It is a wonderful taste that fully expresses the character of Hououmida!

The mild sweetness is accompanied by a wild Kame-no-o flavor that spreads with depth. The clear acidity and bitterness give it a refreshing aftertaste. We tip our hat to Kame-no-o's skill in taming its roughness and expressing it in a refreshing manner!

Yamazan Shinshu Secret Sake Hanpukai 2025 Gold Course. Yamae-Nishiki unfiltered unpasteurized sake, fire-ignited. Yamazan has been a hot topic of conversation, and we finally had the opportunity to try it for the first time in the Shinshu Secret Sake Hanpukai! Founded in 1867, Yamazan Sake Brewery in Ueda City, Nagano Prefecture, has been practically dormant since 2015, but in 2023 it will restart under a new organization after taking over the business. The deep indigo-colored label logo, carefully printed by letterpress, was specially colored for this hanpukai. The nose has a fresh, apple-like aroma, and on the palate, it is fire-aged, but you can sense a freshness with a slight hint of chili. The dry impression of the body is juicy and delicious. The beautiful acidity and refreshing bitterness add to the long, lingering finish. The best temperature is when it is cooled by snow, and when it is cooled down, you can feel its mysteriously more concentrated flavor.

Wakanami Junmai Ginjo Yamadanishiki / 2024 Tojo Yamadanishiki. This is the third and final season of Junmai Ginjo Tojo Yamadanishiki, which is released as a limited edition sake on July 3, Wakanami Day, to commemorate the brewery's 100th anniversary. We were able to get a bottle in time and brought it to my in-laws' house in Kagoshima to be uncorked. It has a refreshing aroma like muscat, and when you take a sip, the fruity and powerful sweetness typical of Tojo Yamada-Nishiki surges in like a powerful ocean wave label. On the other hand, the aftertaste has a nice bitterness that gives it a sharp edge. This is a delicious bottle that truly expresses the push of the flavor and the pull of the lingering aftertaste that the brewery is known for!
