Hokko-Masamune Kinmon-Nishiki Daiginjo 4500Days,. This is a truly treasured sake that has been stored in ice temperature for over 4,500 days since it was first bottled on February 25, 2011! It has a slightly thickened texture and a soft, mellow mouthfeel that is extremely well rounded, with no sense of maturity. It has a slightly thickened texture, with an extremely rounded, soft, mellow mouthfeel, and no sense of aging at all. It has a mild sweetness and a clear, transparent taste, and it finishes crisp and clean with a beautiful acidity. I am not a big fan of the sense of maturity, but I welcome such a beautiful secret sake!

Kaze no Mori Yamadanishiki 507, picked in the middle, available only at Kaze no Mori WEEKS venues. I happened to find Kaze no Mori WEEKS at Daimaru Shinsaibashi when I stopped by on a business trip to Osaka. I got this T-shirt and a cooler bag, which were limited to the venue! It has a fresh, fresh top nose of strawberries and a hint of green apple, a refreshing gasiness, harmonious and mild sweetness and umami, and finishes dry with beautiful acidity and bitterness. The dry and acidic impression is very strong, so it was a good match for oily Chinese dishes!

Toyoka Junmai Daiginjo. Toyoshimaya in Okaya City, Nagano Prefecture, a brewery with a history of over 150 years, is famous for its Kamito brand, but this Toyoka is a limited distribution product. The top aroma is reminiscent of strawberries, and in the mouth you can feel a slight gassy sensation, while the sweetness that seems to melt away spreads elegantly. The clear, mineral acidity adds a touch of color. This is the first time I have had this wine, and it is a very delicious bottle!

Kangiku Occasional Ken-Aizan 50 Chronicle Ultra-Limited Unfiltered Unrefined Nama-shu Nakadori Lot: No.8 (R6BY). The rice used for this sake is "Ken-Aiyama", which is produced in Mima City, Tokushima Prefecture from the seed of Aiyama. The rice is produced in Mima City, Tokushima Prefecture, using the rare Ken-Aiyama rice. The Kaburaku is the second brewery in Japan to use this rare Ken-Aizan, and the only one in the country to produce a raw sake version! The mellow aroma, reminiscent of muscat and lychee, the deep sweetness and umami, and the clear and refreshing taste bring out the charm of Ken-Aizan. The elegant acidity and the lingering aftertaste are beautifully colored. This wine is even more complete than last year's. It is delicious!

Shinshu Kamerei Junmai Ginjo Yamae Nishiki from Ueda City, Nagano Prefecture. Yamae-Nishiki was selected by the Nagano Prefectural Agricultural Experiment Station with the aim of producing an original sake brewing rice comparable to Yamada-Nishiki, based on analysis of koji cultivated by focusing not on the appearance of the rice, such as the percentage of heart white, but on the koji making process. It has a gentle aroma of muscat-like aroma. In the mouth, although it is fire-brewed, it has a very fresh impression with a hint of chili. The sweetness reminds one of white peaches, while the beautiful acidity and refreshing bitterness add to the impression of the aftertaste. This is quintessential Shinshu Kamerei, and we enjoyed it very much!

Water end 1355✕ Bodhizan Shoraiji Temple. Bozan Shoryakuji Temple in Nara Prefecture is the birthplace of Japanese sake. It is brewed in the Kyoho Brewery using dewy leaf wind grown there, and is bottled in a large bottle with a capacity of three koku. It is served in special Minoyaki sake cups to match the lapis lazuli-colored ceramic bottles. The fermented aroma is like cheese, and the complex sweetness and umami taste unique to Rohafu spread out. The most distinctive feature of this sake is its lactic acidity and sharp, clean aftertaste!

Katsuyama ICE VALLEY. The autumnal weather is gone for a while, and the heat is back, so on a depressing night, this is the place to go. As recommended, I tried it on the rocks, chilled. It has a slight citrus aroma, but once in the mouth, the sweetness disappears and you can enjoy the clean, dry flavor.

Kaze no Mori: Future Prospective Sake I. "Five Types of Microorganisms". Kaze no Mori's 25th anniversary sake is an experimental sake brewed in anticipation of the future 25 years from now. In addition to the yeast, yellow yeast, and lactic acid bacteria normally used for modern sake, five types of microorganisms (Pichia and white yeast) are used to create a multilayered aroma and taste that would have been present in pre-medieval sake brewing. It is stored in ice temperature for one year before being uncorked. The gassiness has subsided, but the freshness is still there. The expansive aroma derived from the Pichia fungus has banana nuances. The citric acid-like acidity derived from lactic acid bacteria and white yeast mold spreads in layers, giving it a complex yet harmonious taste. The depth of the umami and the bitterness of the aftertaste are more firmly felt. It is still outstandingly delicious! We have another bottle in stock and are looking forward to opening it after more time!

TAMESHI OKE series 012 Rice, Agave and Tsuchida Hops This is a series of test vats for the experimental sake line of Rice and Agave. This time, the brewery originally planned to brew Bodo sake in collaboration with Tsuchida Sake Brewery, but due to numerous difficulties, the brewery finally decided to commercialize the product by adding hops to the brewery's lineup. When the bottle was opened, it gushed out vigorously. It has a wonderful effervescence! The lime-like citrus aroma, the fizz, the sweet and sour mouthfeel, and the strong lactic acidity are definitely reminiscent of calpis. Nevertheless, the bitterness derived from hops firmly tightens the impression. It was an interesting bottle of a lifetime!

Tsuchida Shin Tsuchida Princess Sally. Shin Tsuchida Princess Sally was given to us at the Young Dawn event last fall. It is brewed using indica rice, not sake rice or japonica rice. We found this maniacal gem at Seijo Ishii! I tried it with curry, which was not possible at the event, and found that its rich sweetness and refreshing acidity were the best match with spicy curry!

Fuyutsu no Tsuki Aotsuki - Second fermentation in bottle Junmai Ginjyo Nigori Sake. It uses Okayama Hakuto yeast extracted from the rind of Okayama's famous white peaches, and it certainly has an upfront aroma reminiscent of white peaches. As with the second fermentation in the bottle, it has a strong "shwashu" feeling. The acidity and bitterness give it a clean aftertaste. As you drink it, the light nigorigo color becomes more familiar and the impression of sweetness increases.

San-do Ho-Masu Shi-no-Kozo. Tenshudo, a company owned by Sumiyoshi Sake Sales, which is located in Hakata, Japan, advocates sake bowls, which are suitable for modern sake with low alcohol content and a light, delicate taste that corresponds to the global trend toward modern cuisine. I stopped by Tenshudo Aoyama Gallery during my summer vacation and came across a piece by Katsunori Sawa, a potter from Shigaraki, Koka City. The greenish-brown color of the natural glaze is exactly the color of Hozasu, so I chose the Sanshudo Hozasu for my first cup! After a togi-shiru (water from the Kame-no-o rice we had received the day before) was added to stop the glaze, it was ready to be served. Up until now, when enjoying San-do, I have always enjoyed the sharp contours of the wine glass in order to fully enjoy the fizzy sensation, but San-do served in a sake bowl gives a completely different impression by emphasizing the mellowness and the three-dimensional spread of umami flavor! I am now looking forward to enjoying sanshoku with my dinner.

Aizu Musume Jo Junmai Ginjo Tsuchiya Kame no O. Aizumusume Jo was sold as part of the UTAGE project in February. The Yutaka series is brewed using only rice produced in specific fields under the concept of "Hitoden Ichibrew". This sake is brewed with Kame-no-o rice grown at Tsuchiya Farm in Inawashiro using natural farming methods without pesticides! It has a mild peachy aroma on the nose, and on the palate, it has a freshness with a slight chili sensation despite being fire-brewed. Combined with a light nigori nuance, you can fully enjoy the rich and extended flavor of Kame-no-o rice. The cooked Kame-no-o rice is bright white with a full aroma, and the more you chew it, the sweeter it becomes, making it a stand-alone snack!

Jyuseki Shuku Junmai Ginjo Namaishu. Matsuyama Shuzo, a brewery with over 100 years of sake brewing history in Kyoto, took a year off to brew the much talked about Jyuseki for the first time, using only Kyoto ingredients such as Fushimi water, sake rice, yeast and bean sprouts. Brewed with Kyoto-grown rice suitable for sake brewing, it has a green apple-like aroma, a fruity sweetness, and a rich umami flavor, yet a firm acidity keeps the impression tight. It is a well-balanced and enjoyable bottle!
