Produced soil 2024 Eho increase Rokunou brewery. Happy New Year! The toast is, of course, to my favorite San-do sake, Hozasu Roku-no-zozo, which has been stored in ice temperature for six months before being uncorked. When we uncorked the bottle, we could hear a pleasant gas release sound, and we expected it to still be fresh. The nose has a mellow, melon and banana-like top note, with a pleasant gassy sensation. The strength of the wild Hozu rice is also evident in the sweetness of the rice. The layered depth of umami and overlapping, elegant acidity vividly linger on the palate. The taste is harmonious while showing a multifaceted expression of flamboyance, roughness, and freshness, and colored the beginning of the year in the best possible way!

Zenkichi Junmai Ginjo. Zenkichi is the sake brewed by Nakazen Shuzoten in Kiso, the most interesting sake brewery in 2025. It has a fresh aroma like muscat, soft on the palate, and despite being fire-aged, it has a freshness with a hint of gas. The mild sweetness and refreshing acidity give it a refreshing aftertaste. It was a perfect bottle to accompany a peaceful end of the year.

Abe Commemorative sake for the construction of the new brewery. This is a special sake brewed in the Hashira shochu brewing process using shochu produced by the company itself. It has an aroma of melon and pear, and a characteristic acidity on the palate. It has a complex umami flavor that is well drawn out, while the clean and crisp aftertaste expresses the goodness of the Hashira shochu brewing process. When served hot, it is also delicious as it is mellow and well-balanced after the corners are removed! I would like to visit the new brewery someday to see how the bottles are personalized!

Jikin Junmai Daiginjo Nabari. This is the flagship of Jikin, made from Yamadanishiki grown by contract farmers in Nabari, Mie Prefecture, the home of Kiyamasa Shuzo. Mie Prefecture has a reputation for its terroir, ranking 13th in terms of production but 3rd in terms of the percentage of premium rice in Japan. The blue and shiny Nabari characters on the bottle are stylish! The nose has a melon and strawberry-like nuance, and the palate is surprised by its smooth, clear texture without any cloying taste. The elegant sweetness of Yamada-Nishiki is brought out to the fullest. The impression of a well-defined flavor is due to the solid structure of the umami. The beautiful acidity and the astringent bitterness typical of Jikkoman give it a sharp edge. The taste is extremely complete and well-balanced, and is wonderful!

Sansho 2024 Yamadanishiki Shichinonoso. As a toast to Christmas Eve, we will be drinking the first release of Shichinonosai from San-do! In addition to rice grown in the Kikuchi River basin, sake brewed from a traditional sake yeast, no pesticides, no fertilizers, no wooden vats, and no added yeast, a new regulation has been added this time: shiori. Shiori is an ancient brew derived from the legend of the eight-forked serpent exterminating the eight-forked serpent in the Kojiki. It is said that Susano-no-mikoto used Yashioori sake to get the eight-forked serpent drunk and kill it. The Yashioori sake is brewed by changing part of the water into sake, a process that is worthy of the so-called "noble brew. It has a mellow, pear-like heady aroma, a thick texture on the palate, and a pleasant gaseous sensation that is sensual. It has a rich sweetness that is brought out in the mouth. It is notable for its multi-layered three-dimensional sense of umami, which is probably the result of the shiori manufacturing method. The elegant acidity brought out by the sake yeast is a perfect finishing touch. Shichinonoso has a wonderful taste!

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!

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.

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!

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!
