Hirotogawa Junmai Nigori. We managed to get a bottle of Hirotogawa nigori again this year! First, we had the supernatant. The top nose has a pleasant aroma of muscat and peach, and the secondary fermentation in the bottle gives it a pleasant gaseous sensation. The fruity sweetness is typical of Yume-no-Ko, and despite being nigori sake, it has a mild texture on the tongue, with a beautiful acidity and a firm bitterness to tighten the finish. When mixed with ori, the impression of umami is enhanced and the balance is further improved. This exquisite balance is still the best!

Oosawawa Junmai Ginjyo Nama Genjyo. One year after the fire at the end of last year, Furuya Sake Brewery released this Osawa Wawa in collaboration with Osawa Sake Brewery in order to rebuild the brewery. The last time we had this sake was brewed with Aizan, which survived the fire, but this time it is brewed with Miyamanishiki from Nagano Prefecture. It has a gorgeous heady aroma with strawberry and muscat nuances, and a fresh, chili-like flavor that can only be achieved with nama-shu. The mild sweetness and umami, along with a refreshing acidity, are refreshingly followed by a citrus-like nuanced bitterness. This is a bottle that shows signs of a steady revival.

Daishinshu Tank-filling Junmai Daiginjo Tamboshibori Nama. It is an unfiltered, unpasteurized, raw sake made from the 2025 harvest of new rice Hitogochi. It is the first new sake from Daishinshu, brewed with 49% polished Hitogokochi rice. How will it turn out this year? It has a gorgeous muscat-like aroma and a freshly pressed gasiness. The silky touch, carefully squeezed in a vat, expands its fruity sweetness and mellow flavor. It is consistently fresh, even down to the refreshing bitterness of the aftertaste. This year, too, the taste is unmistakably delicious!

Tasake Tokubetsu Junmai Nama. We will have a new Tasake sake, special junmai namaeshu for the year 2025. Last year we had it at SAKE PARK @ Miyashita Park, but this year we will enjoy it carefully at home. It has a fresh aroma like green apples, and on the palate, you can feel a fresh and gaseous sensation. The fruity sweetness of the rice spreads, and the finish is crisp and clean with a pleasant bitterness. It is full of freshness and full of the freshness of nama-zake, and it is delicious!

Kuraku Junmai Ginjo Yoshikawa Yamadanishiki. It is grown in Yoshikawa town, Miki city, Hyogo prefecture. The first attack is a mild, fruity sweetness. As you continue drinking, the vivid contrast between the deep, robust umami and elegant acidity is superb. When served hot, the umami and acidity are even more pronounced, making it outstandingly delicious!

Kuraku Junmai Ginjo Tojo Yamadanishiki. It is made from Yamadanishiki produced in Tojo area, Kato-shi, Hyogo prefecture. It has a gorgeous nose with nuances of banana and peach, and the mouthfeel is mellow. The impression of sweetness is milder than last year. On the other hand, the impression of elegant acidity is even more pronounced than last year, and it finishes crisp and clean with a bitter aftertaste. The gorgeous and graceful taste is just like Pinot Noir. We enjoyed it this year as well!

Nichinichi Yamadanishiki, 5th brewing period, No. 1. The first delivery of Nichinichi Fifth Sake Brewing Period has arrived! It has a gentle, slightly greenish, melon-like heady aroma with a fresh gasiness. The texture is smooth on the tongue, but the pleasant acidity follows the spread of the mineral and delicate flavor. The light lingering aftertaste keeps the cup flowing, and the Daigo Shuzo season does not disappoint!

Shichihon-yari Muyari 80, raw yeast, wooden vat brewing. Muyari 80 is made with pesticide-free Tamaei grapes in collaboration with a local farmer in Nagahama City, and has evolved since its release in 2010 to be made with a low milling ratio of 80%. The liquid color is slightly yellowish, and the top-fragrance has a hint of wooden vat nuance. The mellow mouthfeel is followed by a complex umami flavor. The lactic acidity gives it a clean finish. When served warm, the richness and strength of Tamaei stands out, making it an even better sake!

Mimuro Cedar Wooden Oke Bodhi yeast SPARKLING. This is a collaboration of the Bodai Hashiro method, which originated in the 1400s at Shoryakuji Temple in Bodaiyama, Nara Prefecture, and the Champagne method, which originated in the 1600s at a monastery in the Champagne region! The nose has a subtle banana-like nuance and a strong bubbly sensation that makes it hard to believe that this is a second fermentation in bottle, and is truly reminiscent of Champagne. The extremely dry mouthfeel, the layered flavor brought out by the Bodai yeast and the sharp acidity add to the smooth aftertaste.

Tetorigawa Junmai Daiginjyo -Myaku We will have a bottle of Tedorigawa from the 5-bottle set purchased at UTAGE, a Junmai Daiginjo made with Yamadanishiki from Hyogo Prefecture and brewed in Yamahai as a precursor to the planned evolution to all Yamahai brewing starting in spring 2027. It has a mellow heady aroma like ripe bananas or melons, and a deep flavor that permeates every corner of the bottle like the veins of a leaf that bears the name of the bottle. The natural acidity and firm bitterness brought out by the Yamahai process are quickly snapped off. The vector of evolution that Tedorigawa-u continues to show can be fully felt, and we are looking forward to the full-scale conversion to Yamahai!

Mikotsuru Shinshu Secret Sake Hanpukai 2025 Gold Course Special Limited Edition Miyamanishiki Unoigarami Nama-shu. The last sake of the 2025 Hanpukai will be from last year's Grand Prix winner Mikotsuru. It has an aroma of apple and muscat with a hint of citrus nuance, and on the palate, you can feel a faint gasiness. The texture is mellow, and the deep sweetness and umami with a hint of oriki (rice cake) spread out generously. The aftertaste is clean and crisp with pleasant bitterness and acidity. The freshness and the moderate sense of maturity from ice storage are well balanced and harmonized!

The first bottle of November in the Shinshu Secret Sake Hanpukai is a first-time brew from the Shigaizumi Shuzo brewery, ICHIDOTSUNAIDARITAKE. It is a junmai daiginjo-unfiltered, unpasteurized sake made from Yamadanishiki grown in Nakano City, Nagano Prefecture, and shipped cold. It has a strawberry-like nuance on the nose and a fresh sweetness that fills the mouth with a smooth and mellow taste. The umami and acidity are harmoniously balanced on the finish. The carefully brewed, well-balanced flavor is delicious!

Jyushidai Nakadori Kamimoroshiro, Banshu Yamadanishiki. I will drink a bottle of the best Jyushidai as a reward to myself for having passed a big hurdle in my work! The aroma of muscat and white peach rises from the glass, and even after about a year of aging, it still has a fresh, chili-like flavor. The palate is filled with a refined sweetness like that of fine Wasanbon, which is clear and transparent without any cloying taste, and while it has a concentrated, thick flavor, it is surprisingly crisp and clean with elegant acidity. After about a week of drinking, the impression of elegant sweetness became even more pronounced, and the contrast with the acidity became more vivid. I was healed by this sense of completed balance and supreme taste!

Banshu Ikkyo Daiginjo Yoshikawa Yamadanishiki 40 JSP Limited Nama . Today we will have Banshu Ikkyo from the set of 5 bottles purchased at the renewal announcement session of UTAGE. Taking advantage of its location in Hyogo Prefecture, the brewery polishes the Yamadanishiki produced in Yoshikawa in the Special A district to 40% polished rice, and uses a gravity system that takes advantage of the difference in elevation in the brewery to ensure a stress-free process from top-bottling to bottling by gravity alone after the vatting process. This time, it will be served freshly pressed. It has a muscat-like aroma, and its sweetness and umami are elegantly balanced. The aftertaste is beautifully clean and crisp. I think this is the first time I have had a fresh Daiginjo, but the harmony of freshness and balanced flavor was fresh and fresh!

Daimine 3 grains, the advent of winter. We have finally been able to receive the most popular nigori sake, which is becoming more and more difficult to obtain as the popularity of nigori sake increases each year! It has a mellow aroma with hints of muscat and melon, and a fruity sweetness that rushes into the mouth with fresh gas. The milky umami flavor is quickly and easily quenched, just like light snowfall. I would like to drink this every year as a regular winter sake!

Hiraizumi Yamahai Junmai Sake Marutobi Misato Nishiki Hi-ire. We will start with a bottle of Tobirazumi, one of the five bottles in the set that was sold at the time of UTAGE's announcement of the major renewal of UTAGE. This one is made from 60% polished Misato Nishiki and brewed in the Yamahai method. It has a slight yellowish-brown color, a nose with nuances of lime and lemongrass, sweet and sour acidity, and a slightly bitter aftertaste that is refreshing and crisp. When paired with oily Chinese food, the acidity reset the palate and made for a good marriage!

Hououomida Heki-ban Junmai Ginjyo Genjyo Unrefined Hon Nama. I love Hououmida Heki-ban. I thought it had been a while since I had had a chance to try it, so I looked it up and found that it had been two years since I had had a chance to drink it. It has a gorgeous muscat-like aroma on the nose and a silky touch on the palate with a fresh chili sensation. The fruity sweetness is spread out, with plenty of umami and crisp acidity, and this balance is achieved by blending unrefined sake. We were able to immerse ourselves in this flavor for the first time in a long time!

Shino 荔枝 (紫乃荔枝). We received this bottle as a gift from a colleague from Kumamoto. As the name suggests, it has a fresh scent of lychee and lactic acidity. In the mouth, it tastes sweet and sour like lychee. The alcohol content is low at 12 degrees Celsius, so it was refreshing to drink!

It has a fruity, apple-like aroma on the nose and a smooth, mellow, time-honored taste on the palate. It has a gentle, mild sweetness and a full flavor that spreads and finishes with a pleasant bitterness. It can be enjoyed at any time of the day in a well-balanced manner!

Kuraku Junmai Ginjo Nagosozake Hashu Honor. The best autumn sake of Collage is the pride of Collage, and it is my personal favorite autumn sake! It has a melon and banana-like aroma on the top of the nose, and when you put it in your mouth, it has a rounded and rounded texture with a broad spread of umami and a beautiful acidity. The crisp aftertaste is a specialty of Hazhu Honor. The exquisite balance of mellowness and crispness is different from other chilled grated sake. We enjoyed it again this year!
