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!

YSTJ, good evening 🌜I am jealous because I would like to drink Wakanami! Kagoshima is a shochu area, so people tend to think that people don't drink sake, but if you bring sake, they will be very happy 😌.

Good evening, Termat😌. My father-in-law is exactly the kind of person who grew up with potato shochu, so he was happy to enjoy the sake that I drink from time to time! Wakanami is a delicious sake that is very drinkable 😆 Please give it a try!

Tenpyo Junmai Ginjo. I procured a bottle of Kagoshima sake to bring with me on my return trip to my in-laws' home in Kagoshima. Brewed by Nishi Shuzo, famous for its Hozan series of shochu, Tenpyo is the first Kagoshima sake I have had! It has a melon- and peach-like top-shelf aroma, and the sweetness of Yamada-Nishiki is brought out well. The creamy, full-bodied flavor comes from the lactic acidity. The aftertaste is taken over by a refreshing acidity and bitterness. We enjoyed it with grilled bonito and plenty of savory vegetables!

Koei Kiku Harujion. At SENTI.U, a house Italian restaurant in Kanoya, Kagoshima, Japan. The Italian cuisine served at the restaurant, which is listed on Gault et Millau, is based on local gastronomy and uses ingredients from the Oosumi Peninsula. Harujion is made from Shunyo, a low-protein rice that is noted for its high aromatic content. It has a refreshing heady aroma with hints of lychee and muscat, The mild sweetness is followed by a refreshing acidity that tastes like white wine. The first dish paired with this dish is a meichi-dai (sea bream) from Furue, served with a pesto of mullet, okahijiki, jasmine rice and basil. The sticky texture of the perfectly cooked meichidai and the viscosity of the pesto were a perfect marriage with the acidity of the koei chrysanthemum! The next dish was a crispy skinned sweetfish from Shibushi, served with passion fruit along with Sakurajima hijiki and white corn. Again, the acidic flavors were a perfect match!

SANDSO 2024 HOMASEN ROKUNO Brewery. Today is a brief summer vacation, and on the first night, we took the plunge and popped a bottle of San-do Hozasu Rokunosake! It is made from Hozasu grown in the Kikuchi River basin with no pesticides or fertilizers, and brewed in a wooden vat with no yeast added. It has a banana-like aroma on the nose with nuances derived from the wooden vat brewing process. It has a thick texture, balanced with a pleasant gaseous sensation, and a rich, layered flavor. This year's characteristic bitterness finishes off the lingering aftertaste. It was a great start to the summer vacation!

Tasake Special Junmai Sake. We have had it outside, but it had been a long time since we had it at home. It has an apple-like aroma and a fresh chili sensation in the back of the throat, which I guess is due to the fire-roasting process. The full flavor of Hanafukietsu spreads out, and it finishes crisp and clean with a bitter aftertaste. It has a great stability that allows you to drink it with peace of mind. The last half gou of sake is served hot. The acidity is more pronounced and the spread of umami is more balanced. Hot sake is also good in midsummer!

Houou Mida ASSEMBLAGE 2024. IMADEYA's hanpukai GUITO! The July delivery was an unexpected assemblage from Houou Mita, a bottle created by an encounter with the god of assemblage in France. The first sip of this wine has a mild muscat-like aroma and a mellow sweetness that fills the mouth. The first sip is full of mellow sweetness, followed by a deep, full flavor spread and elegant acidity. We enjoyed the new frontier that Houou Mita has opened up!

It has a mellow, apple-like heady aroma, a soft mouthfeel, and a well-balanced harmony of juicy sweetness and full flavor. The beautiful acidity and pleasant bitterness firmly control the impression of the aftertaste. It is a well-balanced bottle that brings out the characteristics of Kojo-nishiki without regret!

Mimuro Sugi Romain Series Junmai Ginjo Yamadanishiki. We will be receiving a Junmai Ginjo of Yamadanishiki from Imanishi Shuzo Mimuro Sugi, which has a brewery in Miwa, Sakurai City, Nara Prefecture, the birthplace of Japanese sake. The refreshing, cool, apple-like aroma on the nose is followed by the mild sweetness of Yamadanishiki, and then the umami spreads out. The clear, fresh acidity finishes off the crisp finish. Today, we served this sake with Miwa Somen, the birthplace of Somen, which is made from the same brewing water as Mimuro Sengen. The sourness of the ume-flavored dipping sauce is a perfect match!

Morishima Hitanishiki Dry Junmai Ginjo Nama. Serve with soba noodles in the middle of a hot afternoon. The mild gasiness and restrained sweetness give way to a full flavor and refreshing acidity. The rich flavor of the pickled quail's egg in miso goes well with it. The salty natsumikan citrus fruits served cold with junsai (junsai with sweetened citrus fruits) as a finish is also an exquisite marriage!

It has an aroma of melon and pear, and a smooth mouthfeel with a good amount of gas at the back of the throat. The light flavor is followed by a fullness of umami and a dry acidity. As the temperature rises, the umami and acidity spread more and more, adding color to the flavor. This is the cutting edge of Niigata light sake as expressed by Kamo Nishiki!

Takaten Shinshu Secret Sake Hanpukai 2025 Gold Course First Take typeD. The second bottle for July in the Shinshu Secret Sake Hanpukai 2025 Gold Course is from Takaten. The challenge of this first take is that both are a cross between Yamae-Nishiki and Hitogokochi, both produced in Nagano Prefecture, and both use Alps yeast. The specs are: sake degree ±0, acidity 1.3, and alcohol 15.5. It has a fresh, honey-apple-like top aroma and a soft mouthfeel. The mild sweetness and refreshing acidity gradually spread the umami taste, and the aftertaste is clean and crisp. The light and refreshing flavor was a good match with simmered squid and daikon radish!

Kikumori Shinshu Secret Sake Hanpukai 2025 Gold Course. From the July Shinshu Secret Sake Hanpukai comes Kikumori from Shinshu Meizo. Shinshu Meizou, which has a brewery in the Ueda area, exhibits a freshly stored sake that has been aged in a thermal tank for two years at ice temperature. It is a 100% Miyamanishiki Junmai Daiginjo, with a Sake degree of -2 degrees, an acidity of 1.6, and an alcohol content of 16 degrees, making it a dark, mellow, sweet sake. It has an aroma of muscat and apple on the nose and a mellow sweetness on the palate. The extremely mellow and soft mouthfeel, which has lost its angularity due to aging, even gives the impression of lusciousness. The rich umami flavor spreads out firmly, and it finishes smoothly with a beautiful acidity. It is a rare opportunity to enjoy an aged sake that has been stored in its raw state, and the flavor is perfectly balanced and delicious!

Houou Mida Aikoku. This is an "Agricultural Revival Project" to revive "Aikoku No. 3," an ancient variety grown in Tochigi Prefecture in the Taisho era (1912-1926), and use it to make traditional Japanese sake. As part of this project, a collaboration between Senkou, which is located in Tochigi Prefecture, and Houou Mita. We are looking forward to seeing how much of the brewery's individuality will be expressed in this collaboration, which has in common the use of Aikoku, brewed in the "nama-hashime" style, and shipped by heating! Today's sake is Hououmida's version. It is brewed in the same way as Sengoku, which is brewed in the same way as Hououmida. It has a muscat-like aroma on the nose and in the mouth, unlike the Sengoku version, it does not have a gaseous feeling, and the soft, smooth, silky touch is strongly characteristic of Hououmida. The spread of sweetness, and the tight, concentrated and deep umami are felt in abundance. The lactic acidity, together with bitterness, produces a crisp and refreshing aftertaste. The characteristics of each brewery were fully demonstrated through Aikoku, and both were delicious!

It has a refreshing aroma of strawberries and apples, and in the mouth it has a fresh gasiness that you would not expect from a hi-iru sake, along with a sharp acidity. The body is dry and tight with a wild and rough flavor that is unique to ancient rice, while a firm bitterness tightens the aftertaste. The charm of ancient rice is expressed through the Sengoku character. We are now looking forward to the Houou Mita version!

The slightly greenish liquid color gives a sense of elegance. It has a fresh, pear-like heady aroma with a refreshing herbal nuance. The taste is clear and uncluttered.
