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!

Hello, YSTJ! Good job on crossing the big mountain of work🍀. I'm sure the reward sake must have been sinking in your sense of accomplishment and relief 😋. Kuu~ Jyushiyo-san looks really delicious 🤤. Blissful drinking time is healing, isn't it?

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!

Kamo Nishiki Shagafuda Sake Kame-no-o 2024BY Aged in ice temperature. Just hearing the specs of this ice-aged Kame-no-o from my favorite shipper sake, I could already tell it was going to be delicious. The liner says that it is suitable for aging for years, but there is no way I can wait that long, so I uncorked the bottle! The nose is dry and mineral, with a gentle nose with a slight pear-like nuance, and a generous spread of flavor. The beautiful acidity and pleasant bitterness decorate the extended finish. It is a great balance of tamed and modernized wild Turtle Tail!

Shinsei Nenrei (ecru) 2023. It is the middle day of a three-day weekend, and I feel like drinking Shinmasa for the first time in a while, so I pull out a bottle of 2023 Ecru! According to the label, it was shipped in April 2024, so it has been stored in ice temperature for a year and a half. It is interesting to note the apricot-like top nose, and as the label states, there is indeed a hint of shiso as well. In the mouth, it has a smooth texture and has gained a mellow maturity through aging. The sweet and sour acidity extends and expands while the finish is clean and fades away, demonstrating the light and crisp characteristics of Akita Sakekomachi without regret. It is a delicious Ecru after all!

Jikin Junmai Ginjo Asahi. This is made from Asahi rice, which before the war was known as "Asahi of the West" and "Kame-no-o of the East", and was used as edible rice. It has a light and surprisingly fresh aroma with a slight citrus nuance like pear, and the mouthfeel is light, with a hint of chili even after aging. The first attack is fruity and sweet, with a three-dimensional flavor that dominates the palate. The aftertaste is clean and tight with a beautiful acidity and pleasant bitterness. This is a bottle in which you can feel the wonder of balance.

While listening to the live announcement of UTAGE's major renewal, we pull out a bottle of Tenmei's black label, which we had laid down after acquiring it at UTAGE three years ago. It has a melon-like aroma on the nose, a mild and silky texture on the tongue after aging, a fruity and soft sweetness, a firm umami from Yamadanishiki produced in Aizu, and a pleasant acidity that beautifully adorns the finish. The pleasant balance is delicious!

Wind Forest Future Sake III: "The Triad of Time Overlapping". This is the third in the series of "Future Prediction Sake," which commemorates the 25th anniversary of Kaze no Mori and predicts what the brewery will be like 25 years from now. The sake mother is made in a large jar in accordance with the traditional "mizuhata" method, and rice shochu "hinotori" (firebird), which has been aged for more than 10 years in oak barrels, is added to the fermentation process of the unrefined sake, along with sake "takacho", which has also been aged for more than 10 years. It has a rich aroma like a ripe banana, and when you put it in your mouth, you can taste the richness of the aroma. In the mouth, you will feel the concentrated sweetness and complex flavor without feeling the sense of maturity. Although it has a high alcohol content of 19%, it does not feel heavy, and the impression of beautiful acidity is followed by a lingering, smooth aftertaste. We are told that the quality of the sake is sufficient for long-term aging, so we are looking forward to aging another bottle!

Houken Junmai Ginjo Kure. Houken, which prefers to use Hachitan-Nishiki produced in Hiroshima Prefecture, has gone even further in localization and brewed this one with Hachitan-Nishiki produced in Kure. It has a soft, citrus-like aroma on the nose, The elegant acidity is impressive. The sharpness of the aftertaste is a quintessential Houken. A quail egg marinated in miso to complement the sweetness and umami is also a good match. The final dish is an autumn special, soba noodles with croquettes filled with mushrooms!

Toyoga Shinshu Secret Sake Hanpukai 2025 Gold Course. The second sake from the Shinshu Secret Sake Hanpukai for October is Toyoga from a very small brewery brewed by a female toji, Kayoko Takazawa, in Obuse. The first attack is a mellow, fruity sweetness that is like biting into a grape. The finish is clean and crisp with a beautiful acidity. Compared to last year's wine, it has a much stronger flavor and is outstandingly delicious!

The Shinshu Kouetsu Tank 2025 presented by Honkin, winner of the grand prize of the 2023 Shinshu Secret Sake Hanpukai, is made from Yumeshinano, an edible rice born in Nagano Prefecture, and is said to be a sustainable rice grown using compost from cows raised on sake lees. We previously had a draft sake, but this time it is a fire-aged version. It has a muscat-like aroma with a hint of mint. In the mouth, it has a freshness with a hint of chili even after being hi-ire. The mouthfeel is soft, with a deep flavor, and the lingering finish is colored by a good amount of bitterness. It is fresh, yet well balanced, and even more delicious than the raw version!

Nichinichi Hoho Increase. This is a gem of an encounter brewed in Kyoto using 100% Hozasu from the Kikuchi River basin in Kumamoto Prefecture, which was given to us by the Hanakoh Shuzo brewery as a result of our samurai training. It has a melon-like heady aroma, and a firm gaseous sensation, while the wild flavor that is typical of Homasu spreads. The sharp acidity adds to the crisp finish. The alcohol content is quite low at 11%, so it is very light. A good marriage of Nichinichi and Homasu!
