HANAOYAKU THE PREMIUM Junmai Daiginjo Yamadanishiki Shine 40%, unfiltered raw sake, orikigarami, shizuku-harvesting. The 28th January bottling is a very fine example, carefully pressed in the orikarumi or "shizuku" method! The top aroma is gorgeous with a maximum pineapple flavor, which is typical of Kahayo Yaki. In addition, the overtone aroma also continues to have a pineapple flavor. It has a very mild texture on the tongue, with a hint of chili in the back of the throat. It has a fruity sweetness and umami flavor with a bitter aftertaste that finishes crisp and clean. It has an interesting balance of a gorgeous aroma and a light flavor!

Kuroryu Junmai Daiginjo Hachi-Nao Kuroryu Shuzo celebrates 220 years in business in 2024. To commemorate the 220th anniversary, three supreme bottles were brewed to represent the three generations of "Kuroryu" from the Showa period to 2024. The sixth generation built the foundation of the brewery as a ginjo brewery. The seventh generation established the Kuroryu brand. The eighth generation promoted further value creation of sake. The three original bottles are silhouetted in the same black color, which is typical of Kuroryu. The box features the "three claws" mark of Kuroryu, which is said to have been used since the days of the Mizuno Sake Brewery of Yoshitaro Mizuno VI, and the labels are decorated with the exorcism [harai] brush strokes that represent each era. (The above is quoted from the special website commemorating the 220th anniversary of the brewing of Kuroryu Sake) Today's sake is named after Mr. Naoto Mizuno, the eighth generation of the brewery, who has taken over from his predecessor and continues to promote the fusion of tradition and innovation. The aroma is rich banana with a hint of almond, and when you put it in your mouth, it is moist and mild on the tongue, with a rich sweetness and a thick umami flavor. The contrast with the firm bitterness adds color to the complex flavor. I drank a bottle for a slightly delayed birthday celebration and found it to be my favorite of the three wines!

Yoshida Kurau Ishikawamon Nama Sake. Following the recent Hyakumangoku No Shiro, we will also have a glass of Ishikawa-mon Nama-shu. The fresh, slightly citrusy nose with a pleasant gasiness enhances the impression of freshness. The soft texture on the tongue is followed by a gentle sweetness that spreads gently. A refreshing acidity and moderate bitterness add to the aftertaste. Soft, fresh, and slightly effervescent, this is a happy sake that can only be enjoyed in early spring!

Kagatobi Junmai Daiginjo Sennichi-Iraoi Nishiki-e label. The team celebrated my birthday! This is the sake that they brought to us to celebrate and to match with Indian food, a difficult task. The Nishikie used on the label is based on Kawatake Mokuami's masterpiece "Megura Nagaya Umegakatobi," which was first performed by Onoe Kikugoro V in 1887. The gorgeous nishiki-e ensures its prestige as a celebratory sake. The texture is extremely mellow on the tongue due to low-temperature long-term aging. The strength of Yamada-Nishiki, grown by contract farmers in Hyogo Prefecture and characterized by its elegant sweetness, is beautifully brought out. It is no match for Indian cuisine, especially spicy tandoori! Thank you once again to the team for the 100-point choice!

Takashi no Tsukasa -frontier-. Kou no Tsukasa is a sake brewery with a long history, founded in 1830 in Okazaki City, Aichi Prefecture. The brewery uses "Kanzui," a spring water with a hardness of 0.2, which has a reputation for its clean, clean, delicate, and deep flavor! IMADEYA's challenge this time with GUITO is to use all of their own Yumesansui rice for the milling process. This is an attempt to compensate for the lack of minerals due to the soft water. It has a refreshing aroma with a hint of muscat. It has a mild texture on the palate, which is the result of the super soft water. The sweetness of the rice is abundant, and the flavor is full of umami. There is almost no bitterness, and a refreshing aftertaste follows. I feel very happy when I like the first sake I encounter in the hanpukai!

Yoshida Kurau Hyakumangoku No Shiro Nama Sake. The nose is mainly apple and lychee nuanced with a slight woody aroma, which I have never heard of being made in a wooden vat. A fresh and soft sweetness spreads on the palate with a sense of chili. The clear, transparent taste finishes with a refreshing acidity. It is still a delicious Yoshida Kurau, though it has been a while since I have had it!

Senkori Hello World 4th by Sakaelabo Tokyo. This is the 4th collaboration between SENKYO and SAKELABO TOKYO. The popularity of this bottle has been increasing each time and we had half given up on getting it this time, but miraculously we were able to obtain a buffer of it. This is the first collaboration after SENKYO's return to Edo, and we are looking forward to seeing what kind of direction the flavor will take. It has a sweet and sour apple-like top aroma, and although we were told that the secondary fermentation in the bottle was strong, the fermentation was surprisingly calm. The sake is very light in mouthfeel, coupled with the low alcohol content of 13% in the original bottle. It is quite light, clear, and refreshing in a good way, without feeling like a sake yeast yeast yeast. It tastes even better if you stir in the ori, which balances the umami!

Occasional Aizan 50 Red Diamond Junmai Daiginjo Unfiltered Nama-shu. From Kangiku's Occasional series, this one made from 100% ASK Aizan from Hyogo Prefecture has a jewel motif as the concept color is red, which is reminiscent of Aizan, and it produces an elegant sweetness. We will be having it again as last year! The top aroma is sweet and sour like strawberry with tropical fruit nuances like pineapple. In the mouth, the elegant sweetness fills the palate with a sense of chili pepper gas. Elegant acidity, together with a refreshing bitterness, tightens the impression and finishes it off. The aroma and sweetness are more berry than when we tasted it last year, and it has a taste that foreshadows the arrival of spring!

Imanishi Junmai Ginjo Asahi. This is Imanishi, a limited distribution sake from Imanishi Shuzo, which brews Mimuro Sugi. Last year we received the unfiltered raw Junmai Ginjo Asahi, and this year we got the bottle heated and fired. It is made from Asahi rice grown in Okayama prefecture, which is edible rice but also highly suited for sake brewing. It has a banana and pear-like nuance on the top nose with a fresh sweetness. The characteristic rich and deep umami, firm bitterness, and beautiful acidity give it a sharp edge. It is a well-balanced and delicious sake!

It has a fresh, fresh aroma reminiscent of apples and pears, and a thick, sensual texture on the tongue. The elegant lingering aftertaste is made possible by the beautiful acidity, which lingers on the palate while the umami flavor is well defined.

Jikin Junmai Ginjo Mie Yamadanishiki Nama. We drank a bottle of Jigin Junmai Ginjyo to compare it with the Takasago we had the other day. It has a mellow top nose like banana or pineapple, and a pleasant gasiness that stimulates the back of the throat. The gentle and elegant sweetness of Yamada-Nishiki is brought out to the fullest, and is well balanced with a generous umami that clings to the entire tongue. The acidity and moderate bitterness elegantly linger on the palate. The freshness and gorgeous balance of the wine, while still being very drinkable, is a quintessential example of the "Takasago" style.

Takasago Matsukizuru Junmai Daiginjo Kimoto Unfiltered Nama. Takasago, brewed by Kiyamasa Shuzo, famous for Jikin, is a brand with a long history, originally brewed before the birth of the Jikin brand, but in recent years they have renewed the label and are continuing to take on new challenges in yeast and production methods. It is made from Yamada-Nishiki from Mie Prefecture, brewed with Kumamoto No. 9 yeast and a wooden vat, and served unfiltered and unpasteurized. The nose has a hint of apple and grape, with a touch of Jikin, perhaps due to the same water used for brewing. The taste is harmonious with mild sweetness, elegant acidity, and a deep umami flavor. I spent a moment immersed in happiness while chewing on the long-lasting aftertaste.

San-do 2023 Hozu Gonohozo Special Summer Limited Edition fuchinsai. This is the second summer limited edition following kawamatsuri. It is stored in ice temperature for six months before being bottled. The top nose has a melon-like fruitiness with a lactic acidity like fresh cheese. The gaseous sensation seems to have settled down after six months. It has a very dry impression, even drier than kawamatsuri, with a stronger lactic acidity. The acidity and gassiness are a perfect match not only with white meat sashimi, but also with tororo nabe, a dish of grated yam.

Kangiku Matsuo Boast -Re:make-. Junmai Ginjo Limited Shiboritate Unfiltered Nama-shu. This sake is named after Matsuo Town in Yamatake City, Chiba Prefecture, where Kangiku Namikozo is located, and is made entirely from rice grown in Chiba Prefecture and distributed only in Chiba Prefecture. Last year, it was served heated in a bottle, but this year it will be served on draft! The nose has a hint of muscat and lychee, and on the palate, you can feel the fresh gaseous sensation typical of nama-shu. The juicy sweetness and umami are followed by a refreshing acidity and a generous bitterness. Matsuo boasts of being fresh and even more delicious.

It has a well-balanced aroma with an apple-like overtone, mild sweetness, and elegant umami. The lingering aftertaste is supple and elongated with beautiful acidity. When heated up, it is refreshing, yet the spread of umami can be felt, a good balance!

Nichinichi Kame-no-o AUTUMN. 3rd brewing period. This is a limited edition brewed with special Kame-no-o from Sakura City, Tochigi Prefecture, which was given to us by Senkou. It was then stored in ice temperature for another 3 months before finally being corked. It has a gentle, melon-like heady aroma, and even after aging, it still has a gaseous feel to it. The flavor is well balanced by the aging process, and a three-dimensional flavor spreads through the bottle. The lactic acidity from the sake's raw yeast origins is slightly noticeable, but the elegant acidity takes over the aftertaste, while the umami lingers on the palate. It is recommended that this sake be warmed up, so we tried heating it up and found that the umami opened up vividly, and combined with the beautiful acidity, it was outstandingly delicious!

Shinshu Kamerei Junmai Ginjo Yamae Nishiki from Ueda City, Nagano Prefecture. Yamae-Nishiki was produced by the Nagano Prefectural Agricultural Experiment Station with the aim of cultivating Nagano's original sake brewing rice comparable to Yamada-Nishiki, and is made from rice grown in Ueda City, the home of the Okazaki Sake Brewery. It has a mellow, muscat-like top aroma and a fresh chili sensation on the palate that makes one wonder if it is truly fire-brewed. While the fruity sweetness spreads, the beautiful acidity and clean bitterness vividly take over the aftertaste with a crisp finish. It is still my very favorite Shinshu Kamerei!

The nose has a peach-like nuance, and while the fruity sweetness and umami spread out, the acidity tightens the impression of the aftertaste. When the ori is mixed with the sake, the bitterness increases and the aftertaste becomes even more refreshing. It has a different nuance from the "二" (2), and is delicious in any case!
