Osawa Shinshu Secret Sake Hanpukai 2025 Gold Course. Aizan, which was held for the hanpukai by the Furuya Sake Brewery, which unfortunately suffered a fire late last year, is now brewed on consignment at the Osawa Sake Brewery, which also brews Meikyojimizu in Saku City. It has a muscat-like nuance on the nose, a spread of sweetness that is typical of Aizan, and a full flavor spread, while the acidity stands out and finishes crisply with a pleasant bitterness.

Hokko Masamune Shinshu Secret Sake Hanpukai 2025 Gold Course. The first impression is a citrusy nose reminiscent of Sauvignon Blanc, with a clean, clean sake quality and moderate sweetness. The full-bodied umami and acidity are followed by a firm bitterness in the finish that gives it a sharp edge. It is an interesting match for fermented foods such as natto (fermented soybeans), kimchi, and smoked cachocaballo!

Katsucoma Junmai-shu. This is the first Katsikoma I have ever had, and I was able to obtain it after winning the lottery for the Craft Sake Week 2025! It has a slight banana-like aroma, and when you take a sip, you can feel the clear and refreshing sweetness of carefully polished Gohyakumangoku on your soft tongue, and the umami gradually spreads in your mouth. The aftertaste is clean and smooth. When served warm, the umami opens up and spreads out dramatically, giving it a wonderful flavor!

Tasake Special Junmai Sake Koshiro Nishiki. This is our first attempt at Tasake's new Koshiro-Nishiki special junmai sake! Usually, special junmai sake is brewed with Hanafuki, but following Yamadanishiki, which will be sold once a year starting in 2021, Nishida Brewery has revived Koshiro Nishiki, which was developed as Aomori Prefecture's first rice suitable for sake brewing but had ceased to be produced. The purple title on the label gives a noble impression. The nose has an apple-like aroma, and when you put it in your mouth, you will be surprised by its freshness with a slight gaseous sensation, although you would expect it to be fire-aged. The fresh, fruity sweetness and full flavor spreads quickly throughout the mouth. The aftertaste is clean and refreshing, with beautiful acidity and pleasant bitterness. It has a good balance typical of Tasake's special junmai and is lighter than Hanafukuyuki, making it a perfect bottle for this time of year when the heat wave is approaching its hottest day!

Hana no Kaori Junmai Daiginjo 2024 Exhibit 9. Sake 9, which was sold exclusively at the Sanchoshin Banquet, is now on tap in celebration of Father's Day! The specs are appropriate for an exhibit sake with 35% polished Yamadanishiki from the Kikuchi River basin, but the fact that it can be tasted as a draft sake makes it very special and raises expectations. It has a fruity nose with hints of pear and lychee, and a smooth mouthfeel with a slight gassy sensation. It has an elegant sweetness and expansive flavor, with an impressive expression of acidity. A pleasant bitterness reminiscent of cherry blossoms colors the extended finish. It is a masterpiece that expresses the best taste with a completely different approach from that of its native region!

Izumikawa Daiginjo. The last in the series of farewell gifts is the first Izumikawa. It is another brand of Hiroki Shuzo, which brews the well-known Tobiroki. A former colleague of mine from Fukushima bought this for me when he went back to his home country. We are very grateful! We compared it with Tobiroki from the previous day. The ginjo aroma is reminiscent of pear and muscat, and the mouthfeel is very smooth. The mild sweetness, concentrated umami, beautiful acidity, and clear, uncluttered sake quality add to the crisp, clear taste. The balance of this sake is reminiscent of Tobiroki, but the umami is a little milder, giving the impression of being a versatile match.

Tobiroki Junmai Daiginjo. The bottle of Tobiroki has been aged in the cellar for less than two years! The color of the bottle is slightly yellow, probably due to its advanced maturity. It has a banana-like aroma, a smooth and mellow mouthfeel, the full sweetness of Yamadanishiki, a concentrated umami, and a refreshing acidity that spreads in a well-balanced manner, while the finish is crisp and clean with a touch of bitterness. The taste has evolved to be both well balanced and contrasting, with increased mellowness and bitterness!

Toyosaka -Toyosaka-. This is the first Toyosaka Echigo Den'emon we have had in a year, and it is made with Ginbukiyo (a cross between Yamadanishiki and Tamakoe). Here are the specs for the soft-water Yamahai Yamahai Tank Shiboribori Nama-nazake. It has a grape-like heady aroma and a fresh, rich, apple-like sweetness with a slight dustiness. The astringency of the aftertaste is still present, although it is a bit more subdued than Den-emon's, and it has a perfect balance of freshness and enjoyment during meals!

Light of the millennium SWEETEST. IMADEYA's hanpukai GUITO! In the heavy snowfall area of Myoko, where the brewery is located, a sweet evening sake has long been enjoyed to relieve the fatigue of heavy work such as clearing snow from the ground. The sake was an astonishing -70! It has a sweet top note with melon and strawberry nuances, and a rich sweetness that fills the mouth when you take a sip. With an alcohol content of only 8 degrees, it tastes like a dessert wine.

Urakasumi Junmai Daiginjo-Genshu, a limited edition sake for the Kura Matsuri, commemorating the 300th anniversary of the company's founding. We will be sampling this limited edition sake purchased at Urakasumi's Kura Matsuri. It is brewed with Manamusume rice from Miyagi Prefecture, which is edible rice, using Kyokai No. 12 yeast, which originated in Urakasumi. It has a muscat-like aroma on the nose, and a fresh berry-like aroma and sweetness spreads on the palate with a slightly chili-like flavor. The aftertaste is clean and refreshing with the beautiful acidity and firm bitterness typical of No. 12 yeast. We enjoyed it while reminiscing about the fun of the brewery festival!

Abe Silver Lot vol.1-3. Junmai ginjo orikigarami nama sake. This is the first lot of the new Junmai Ginjo Silver, and lots 1-3 are made with Gohyakumangoku produced by Mr. Tohei Yoshizawa, and have a slightly lower alcohol content of 13%. The top aroma is reminiscent of apples and pears, and as one can imagine from the fact that the cork flew open when the bottle was uncorked, there is a pleasant sense of shrieking gas. The supernatant is soft on the palate, with a clean sweetness and a broad umami flavor, combined with a firm acidity that gives the impression of dryness. The dryness is balanced out by the sweetness and umami that increases as the orikomi (a drier, more balanced taste) is added!

Nichinichi Akitsu Yamadanishiki In-house rice field 4th brewing season "our rice field". Our rice field, the highest line of Nichinichi, uses Yamadanishiki from our own rice field in "Saido," a special area of Akitsu in the former Tojo Town, Hyogo Prefecture. How will the fourth brewing season turn out? The aroma has a muscat flavor with a hint of melon, and a slight gaseous sensation that pleasantly moistens the throat. In addition to a full-bodied sweetness, it has an elegant acidity and a crisp aftertaste, and at 11% alcohol by volume, it is even lower in alcohol, but the drinking comfort is not compromised at all. This year's production was also excellent!

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! After a week of drinking, the taste becomes more rounded. When served warm, this is a great answer, and the mild and gentle flavor is spurred on!

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!

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!

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!
