Houou Mita Mikumari FLY HIGH 2nd Junmai Daiginjo Nama-shu. Mikumari FLY HIGH debuted last year and has been very popular since its first appearance at the Craft Sake Week in Roppongi last year. It has a refreshing berry-like aroma on the nose, and on the palate it is even more gassy and gassy than last year's. It has a clear, transparent quality. The clear, transparent sake has a fresh acidity and a refreshing umami flavor, with a firm bitterness that finishes off the palate. As the temperature rises, the spread of sweetness increases and shows a different expression.

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!

Kuroryu Shizuku. This superb daiginjo-shu is made from 35% Yamadanishiki produced in Tojo, a special A district of Hyogo Prefecture, and carefully brewed at low temperature fermentation! 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. The elegant acidity takes over the lingering taste with a crisp finish. It has been a while since I have had a Daiginjo-shu, but it has a wonderful flavor that embodies classical delicious sake!

Nichinichi Kame-no-o 4th brewing period. This is the fourth time to brew at Kame-no-o in Sakura city, Tochigi prefecture, and is a summer sake type, a complete change from the previous AUTUMN version. It has a slight melon-like heady aroma, a fine gasiness, and a mild sweetness, while the wild Kame-no-o flavor spreads out. Although it is a pure sake, it has a low alcohol content of 11%, making it an excellent summer sake that can be enjoyed in a refreshing and light way!

Takasago Junmai Daiginjo Hi-ire. The Takasago brand was produced by Kiyamasa Shuzo, the brewer of Jikin, before the birth of Jikin. The gentle yet inviting top-fragrance aroma with nuances of pineapple and banana, and the rich umami flavor gradually permeates the palate. A beautiful acidity and a refreshing bitterness complete the aftertaste. As the concept suggests, this is a sake that is intended to be served during meals, and we were able to fully enjoy its penetrating deliciousness!

Hi, ma-ki-! Takasago is delicious, isn't it? I think I'm going to get addicted to it, because it has the feeling of Jikin, but it's another sake with a high degree of perfection 😆.

Iraka Ginmori. Iraka Sake Brewery was reborn from a more than 350-year-old sake brewery through succession of the business. The brewery is located in Matsukawa Village, Azumino County, surrounded by the 3,000-meter-high Northern Alps, and uses pesticide-free rice nurtured by the ultra-soft water that springs from the area. The rice is grown in the super soft water that springs from the area and is made without agricultural chemicals. When the bottle is first uncorked, it has a lush, fresh nose reminiscent of apples and apricots. In the mouth, it has an extremely soft texture, and the lactic acid-derived umami, which is strongly drawn out by the Yamahai method, and a fruity sweet and sour taste like apples fill the mouth. This is the first time I have tasted Iraka, and it is delicious!

It has a fruity sweetness like concentrated honey apple on the tongue with a thick texture, and on the other hand, it has a lactic acidity and umami that is typical of the sake's yeast. The aftertaste is pleasantly bitter with a lingering acidity that continues lightly. With its cool and light aftertaste, it is a new world of a perfect summer sake!

Nichinichi Improvement Communication. This series is brewed using rice produced in Akita Prefecture, which was given to Mr. Hidehiko Matsumoto by Shinmasa, a company that took care of him when he was training as a samurai. This one is brewed with Koukou-Shinko rice. Kaijoshinko is a secondary selection of Takananishiki rice, and is said to be descended from the Kame-no-o lineage. The elegant aroma of melon and banana is refreshingly gassy on the palate. The soft mouthfeel, mild sweetness, and the firm spread of umami taste are the result of the Kame-no-o lineage. The acidity in the aftertaste tightens the impression and adds color to the lingering aftertaste. We are suddenly looking forward to the Kame-no-o version to be released at the end of this week!

Produced soil 2024 Eho increase Rokunou brewery. Following on from the recent 2023, here is a bottle of Hozasu Roku Nozomi that we obtained at the Sansho Shinen. The label design has been slightly changed this season, and the character for "Riku" can be seen in the microorganisms! The nose has a strong cedar nuance derived from the wooden vat behind the banana and pineapple. In the mouth, the texture is thick and fresh gasses stimulate the throat pleasantly. The taste is accompanied by a full-bodied sweetness, and a wild flavor spreads out. The wine is complex yet harmonious, with an exquisite balance. The aftertaste is even more bitter than that of 2023, and finishes crisp and clean. It is the best Hozu yet!

Abe Summer Sake Tank #2. This is the first Abe summer sake we have had in two years. Tank No. 2 follows the original recipe for summer sake, using Gohyakumangoku for koji rice and Koshibuki for kakemai rice. It has a slightly yellowish hue that contrasts vividly with the refreshing light blue of the label. It has a refreshing heady aroma with citrus nuances, and its characteristic acidity stands out in comparison to the mild sweetness. The overall impression is dry, but this is enhanced by a firm bitterness on the finish. The acidity makes it an excellent match for fresh Camembert cheese!

Takihonmai Junmai Kamiho 80%. IMADEYA's hanpukai GUITO! Takihantan is located in the Iga Basin in Akame-cho, Nabari City, Mie Prefecture. As the name suggests, the brewery uses ultra-soft water from the Akame 48 Falls valley, which was selected as one of the top 100 waterfalls in Japan, as its brewing water. This time, the brewery uses 80% low-polished rice of Kami no Ho, which can be used only in Mie Prefecture, and brews it with home-brewed Mie yeast, making it a truly Mie-rooted sake. It has a mild almond-like aroma and a soft mouthfeel with a gentle sweetness. The full flavor with a graininess and refreshing acidity are impressive. It is delicious cold, but if you try warming it up, the umami will swell even more and it will be outstandingly delicious!

Produced soil 2023 Eho increase Rokunou brewery. This weekend was the release of the 2024 Hozasu Roku Nozomi, and we were lucky enough to get our hands on a bottle of last year's Hozasu Roku Nozomi to celebrate the occasion. The yeast-free Rokunoso sake is brewed with brewer's yeast, and it takes two months to complete the yeast yeast yeast. How is the taste brewed by the uncontrollable production process of brewing in a wooden vat and adding no yeast? It has a fresh aroma with nuances of melon and banana, and on the palate, even after a year of aging, there is still a sense of fresh gas. It has a thick texture characteristic of water from the Kikuchi River basin, and its powerful and wild flavor is brought out to the fullest. Expectations for the 2024 Rokunoso are growing even higher!

This one is brewed using Sakekomachi. It has a mild, yet slightly banana and muscat-like nuance on the nose, with a slight gassy sensation. The sweetness is restrained while the umami spreads gently. The clear acidity gives the impression of a clean and light aftertaste, which is probably due to the sake's character. Even unfamiliar sake rice is completely Nichinichi in the hands of Mr. Hinodehiko! The taste has a high degree of perfection despite its 11% alcohol content, and we are looking forward to the improved Nobukou version.

Katsucoma Junmai-shu. This is the first Katsikoma I have ever had, and I was able to obtain it after winning the lottery for the Craft Sake Week 2025! It has a slight banana-like aroma, and when you take a sip, you can feel the clear and refreshing sweetness of carefully polished Gohyakumangoku on your soft tongue, and the umami gradually spreads in your mouth. The aftertaste is clean and smooth. When served warm, the umami opens up and spreads out dramatically, giving it a wonderful flavor!
