Wada Ryutosui Shinshu Secret Sake Hanpukai 2025 Gold Course. The second bottle of the Shinshu Secret Sake Hanpukai for May is a special blended sake from Wada Ryutosui, a first-time customer. The sake is usually unfiltered, unfiltered, and unadulterated, but they dared to fire-brew it. It has a mild aroma with a hint of roasted nuts and a soft mouthfeel with a rich alcohol content that is hard to believe it is 16%. You can enjoy the rich depth of flavor. It is a taste that is not normally associated with drinking, but it is an exquisite marriage with the acidity of uzaku!

Hakugakusen Aged Junmai Daiginjo GAKU. This is the first Hakugakusen from the series I received as a farewell gift. The Yasumoto Sake Brewery is located in Yasuhara-cho, Fukui City, Fukui Prefecture, and is proud of its long history, with the 47th generation of the Yasumoto family being in charge of the brewery. The name "GAKU" comes from Lord Matsudaira Harutake, the 16th head of the Fukui domain, also known as the "Four Wise Lords" at the end of the Edo period. 100% Gin-no-Sato produced in Fukui Prefecture is used, and the package is wrapped in Fukui's famous habutae furoshiki, or wrapping cloth. The slightly tinted color of the sake and the ripe, banana-like aroma on the nose led one to imagine a matured taste, but the taste on the palate defied expectations in a good way, with a refreshing acidity and crisp, clear, and clean flavor. As the concept of "dancing acidity" suggests, we were able to enjoy a light taste even after aging!

Hello YSTJ, ☀☀☀☀. Thank you for trying my sake "Hakugaku Sen" 🙇. I hadn't drunk it yet because of the high price and another spec I was after, but I made up my mind after reading your review 🥰 I'll go buy it 🤣.

Hi Jive! This was the first Hakugakusen I've had, and it was a delicious sake, and I can see why you've made it your sake of choice 😆 I'll definitely try the rest of your lineup 🫡.

Inokashira: Unfiltered unpasteurized sake. The first bottle of May in the Shinshu Secret Sake Hanpukai 2025 Gold Course is Inogashira by Kasuga Shuzo. It is a challenge sake from Inogashira, which is known for its delicious food sake. It is fresh with an apple-like heady aroma and a hint of gas. It has a mild sweetness, a rich umami, a beautiful acidity, and a firm bitterness that finishes with a refreshing aftertaste.

Drunken Whale TYPE25. The image of drunken whales is dry, but this is an ambitious bottle with the theme of "a drunken whale that surpasses all previous drunken whales". Specifically, it is said to pursue the freshness of the freshly squeezed juice, and I was looking forward to drinking this bottle. It has a mild banana and apple aroma on the nose and a pleasant gaseous sensation in the mouth, even though it is bottle-warmed and fired. The mild sweetness of Asahi rice produced in Okayama Prefecture spreads, and it finishes crisp and clean with a fresh acidity. As intended, it is a fresh bottle that overrides the conventional impression of drunken whales!

Kuroryu Junmai Daiginjo Mizumoto. This series was a farewell gift. This is the first original sake from Kuroryu Shuzo, created in collaboration with Mizumoto Sake Shop, and is available only at the Kurufu Fukui Station branch of Mizumoto Sake Shop! The sake is made from Sakahomare, a variety developed in Fukui Prefecture, and is deeply rooted in Fukui, including its sales channels. It has a slightly yellowish color, a nose reminiscent of melon and pear, and a rich umami flavor that spreads from a smooth touch on the palate. The elegant acidity adds color to the lingering aftertaste, and it quickly finishes. It is a wonderful gem that is full of Kuroryu's character!

Kamo Nishiki Shagafuda Sake Tojo Yamadanishiki Junmai Ookoshu. Yamadanishiki produced in the Tojo district of Hyogo Prefecture, a special A district for Yamadanishiki, is considered to have soil and sake characteristics that can withstand long-term aging, and is a gem that has been aged in ice temperatures for five years. What does a fresh sake aged at ice temperature really taste like? It has a fresh aroma with hints of pear, lychee, and peach, and the mouthfeel is soft, rounded, and extremely mellow. It has a gentle, elegant sweetness, concentrated flavor, and above all, an elegant acidity that adds to its elegant aftertaste. Although it has been aged for a long time, the wine has a light and impressive taste without a sense of maturity!

Houou Mida Anniversary 2025 [Snake] Limited Edition Unfiltered Honkai. The Anniversary series is released once a year in a new attempt, and the specs information is not disclosed and is confirmed by a secret tasting sheet. It has a slightly yellowish color and a muscat-like aroma on the nose. In the mouth, it has a silky touch and a rich, mellow sweetness. In contrast, a crisp acidity with a sense of lactic acidity colors the lingering aftertaste. After about five days after being uncorked, it mellows out and the acidity mellows out a bit, allowing the umami to show through. When served warm, the mildness is enhanced and the sweetness expands, giving it a completely different and interesting appearance!

Sangdo Shinpyo Limited "Hananoka x Shiroito" (Flower Scent x White Thread) 2025. This is a collaboration between Hananaka Shuzo, which brews Sanchi, and Shiraito Shuzo, which brews Tanaka Rokuugo, and is a limited edition Sanchi Shinen sake brewed at Hananaka Shuzo using koji made at Shiraito Shuzo from Yamadanishiki produced in Itoshima! It has a fresh, fresh nose with a strong lactic acidity and lychee-like nuances. In the mouth, the strong gaseous sensation is pleasant, and the thick texture on the tongue is reminiscent of Hana-no-Kou. The robust sweetness of Yamadanishiki produced in Itoshima fills the mouth, while a refreshing bitterness and a smooth aftertaste can be enjoyed. It is an exquisite collaboration that combines the individualities of both breweries!

Q/A QA Labs Reluctantly. IMADEYA's first installment for April in their GUITO! hanpukai is a Q/A from Miyake Shuzo, a brewery in Kasai City, Hyogo Prefecture. This sake is brewed with Yamada Nishiki from Kue, Kasai City, Hyogo Prefecture, and groundwater from the Manganji River system. The name "Question & Answer" is a reflection of this philosophy. When poured into a glass, it has a slight cloudy ooze with a hint of muscat and banana nuances on the top nose. In the mouth, a gentle sweetness of Yamadanishiki spreads from a soft touch. It should be noted that the astringency that bears the name is not a cloying taste, but rather a component that adds a nice accent to the flavor. The aftertaste is also a baton from astringency to bitterness, which tightens the impression. A new sense of balance with earthy nourishment, delicious!

Haneya Summer Junmai Ginjo. It is already the season to encounter sake that claims to be a summer sake. We pull out a bottle of this ice-cold sake in search of a refreshing taste that will relieve fatigue on the way home from a business trip. From the initial aroma, you can feel the freshness of muscat. The clear sake quality gives it a clear outline while inviting a refreshing gas sensation. The mild sweetness and umami are followed by a light acidity and pleasant bitterness, resulting in a very light aftertaste. It is a bottle that is refreshing to the end!

Nakanori-san/Zenkichi. The second bottle from the Shinshu Secret Sake Hanpukai 2025 comes from Nakazen Sake Brewery. Nakanori was my personal favorite from last year's hanpukai, so how is it this year? According to the brewer's comment, it tastes great at room temperature, so we dared to drink it at room temperature. When the bottle is uncorked, it has a fresh aroma like muscat, and the mouthfeel is very round and soft. It has an elegant sweetness reminiscent of fruit, a deep flavor, and a superb balance of beautiful acidity! It has a long, happy aftertaste in the mouth. More complete than last year, this is delicious!

Kangiku Occasional Silver Lining. Junmai Daiginjo So no Mai 29 Unfiltered Nama-shu. The rice produced in Chiba Prefecture is polished to 29% Sounomai. The tropical, pineapple-like aroma and gaseous sensation on the top of the palate give it a refreshing impression. It has a clear and refreshing sake quality, but is rich in sweetness with a berry-like flavor, providing an interesting contrast.

Kurosawa's own rice, Yamae-Nishiki. The Shinshu Secret Sake Hanpukai has started again this year! The first item is a Kurosawa brewed with Yamae-Nishiki rice grown in-house and directly pumped by the toji himself. It has a mellow aroma like a ripe banana and a thick texture on the palate with a honey-like sweetness. It has a dense umami and firm acidity with a clean finish. When served warm, the umami spreads further and the depth of flavor increases! It is an ambitious work with a freshness and a light aftertaste rather than the Kurosawa gravity that one might imagine.

San-do Hozasu Go-no Brewery. Following the Hozasu 4-nouzou, we sampled the Go-nouzou and compared them! In addition to the standard San-do brew, which is made from rice grown in the Kikuchi River basin and is a "live" brew, the Hozu standard is made without pesticides or fertilizers, and the Go-No-Brew is brewed in a wooden vat. I noticed for the first time that the upper right portion of the label is casually designed with the characters "4", "伍" and "伍" in large letters! and "4" and "5" on the upper right part of the label! It has the same banana and melon-like aroma as the Four Farmer's Brewery, with a slight smoky nuance. Compared to the Shi-No-Brew, the wildness nuance is a little milder and the taste is more mellow, and the elegant expression stands out. A more refined Hoso, it is also the best!

Katsuyama Densen Junmai Daiginjo. This series was given to us as a farewell gift. We will be serving Katsuyama, the pride of Sendai, to go with the Date no Shintan that we bought on our trip to Sendai. The highest quality Yamada-Nishiki produced in Mirai, Hyogo Prefecture, is polished to 35% and slowly pressed in bags before being stored in ice. It has a clean, clean, clean sake quality with an aroma of apples and muscats, but it also has a thick texture that wraps around the tongue and a rich umami flavor. It has a good balance without losing out to the umami-filled cores!
