Nichinichi Akitsu Yamadanishiki In-house rice field Third brewing period. We will be serving our rice field, the culmination of the third brewing season of Nichinichi Brewery. It is brewed using the finest Yamadanishiki harvested in our own rice field located in Nishido, Tojo Akitsu district, Hyogo prefecture, which is a special A district for Yamadanishiki. It has a mild Muscat-like aroma on the nose and a pleasant gaseous sensation on the palate. The clean, smooth texture is still present, but the elegant acidity is more pronounced than in the second brewing period. It maintains an impression of refinement even as the temperature rises, and is a bottle that can be enjoyed for its good balance and high degree of perfection!

Ni-Rabbit Junmai Satin. This eye-catching bright blue bottle is a summer sake from Ni-Utsuri, made from the historic Manzai rice that was once offered at the 1915 Otameshi Festival, which has been restored to its original form. It has a refreshing citrus-like heady aroma, an elegant and smooth texture like silk satin as its name suggests, and a light mouthfeel due to its low alcohol content of 13ºC. The balance of grapefruit-like sweet and sourness and bitterness, which turns into a refreshingly sharp taste, is exquisite!

Fukkai Yamadanishiki, pesticide-free. Fukuda, brewed by Fukuda Shuzo, the westernmost sake brewery in Japan, located on Hirado Island, Hirado City, Nagasaki Prefecture, facing Shikibi Bay, which holds the sacred mountain Mt. The concept is "sake that expresses the sea," a return to sake brewing rooted in the local community. The nose is mild, with a lactic acidity derived from the sake brewing process. Although it is hi-ire, it has a fresh impression with a slightly chili flavor. It is made from Yamada-Nishiki grown without pesticides in the company's own rice paddies, and its carefully nurtured mild sweetness spreads out. It has a creamy taste typical of a sake yeast yeast yeast, yet it has a clean and crisp aftertaste.

Good evening, YSTJ 😃. Mr. Fukkai! It's a brand you'll want to follow: ‼️ Compared to the raw Yamadanishiki we drank, the label on this one is like a night sea 🤔. I'd love to drink it 🤗

Good evening, Jay & Nobby. Yes, I am! I have been curious about you since the time of Fukuda, but anyway, I really want to support you in your sincere and honest search for your own ideal sake through trial and error 😆.

Kangiku Occasional True White Junmai Daiginjo Omachi 50 Unfiltered Nama-shu. Occasional is a limited series of sake brewed only once a year by Kangiku, and the first out-of-prefecture limited edition True White was released as the starting point of the series. It has a fruity nose with a hint of citrus like lime and tropical fruit like pineapple, and on the palate it has a subtle hint of chili. The palate is full and sweet, and the robust flavor of Omachi is expressed beautifully in a broad range of flavors. This is delicious!

Wa-Wa-Wa. This is the first time I have tasted Wawa, brewed by the Furuya Sake Brewery in Saku, with the hope that it will make you feel relaxed and at peace with the Japanese spirit. It has a muscat-like aroma, and when you put it in your mouth, you can feel a slight chilliness, which is pleasant, despite the fact that it is fire-aged. It has a mild sweetness and umami, and its characteristic feature is an elegant acidity, which together with bitterness, tightens the aftertaste and makes it delicious!

Packaged sake Sake Mirai Junmai Daiginjo. Tank No. 183. Brewed using Sake Mirai, which is a rice suitable for sake brewing and owned by the Takagi Shuzo Brewery, this is a different light style of sake this year. It has a fresh, pear-like nose, a hint of gas, and a mild sweetness that spreads with umami and finishes refreshingly. The refreshing taste is different from the standard Niigata sake "Tanrei," and the sake quality design is in line with the aim of "Tanrei Fresh!

Shinanotsuru The first bottle for May in the Shinshu Secret Hanpukai is Shinanotsuru. The label is stubborn, but it is a blend of Junmai Daiginjo and Junmai Ginjo. Shinanotsuru, which is originally from Inadani, a major production area of Miyamanishiki and specializes in Miyamanishiki, brewed this wine while keeping the rice used secret. It has a light flavor with a smooth lingering aftertaste. This is the first time I have tasted this sake, and I enjoyed its elegant and gentle taste, which is typical of Shinshu sake!

HIRAN's Mile 2024. It has been 3 years since HIRAN Nikomaru was launched on March 22, 2021, and this bottle was released to mark a milestone in its growth. It is limited to 322 sets. It has a refreshing grapefruit-like aroma on the nose, a slight hint of chili, and the lightness of the original 14% alcohol makes for a refreshing impression. The mild sweetness, and the mild acidity and bitterness with a touch of citrus give it a refreshing sharpness. This is a bottle that makes us look forward to the further evolution of Hiran Nikomaru in the future!

Hello YSTJ! Is that a good sake with a good balance of Hiran Mile? I couldn't afford it because it's too expensive for me lol I'm too jealous that you can drink that kind of alcohol 😳. I'm looking forward to more of your future posts 😆.

Loman Junmai Daiginjyo Nama-Nagara Sake. The rice, water, brewer, yeast, and production are all made in Minamiaizu, Fukushima Prefecture, and this is the first sake we have had from the same tank as the one scheduled to be entered in the sake competition! The rice used in this sake is Fukunoka, a rice developed by Fukushima Prefecture for sake brewing, and Himenomochi, a glutinous rice produced in Minamiaizu, polished to 35%. It has a citrusy, lemon-like nuance on the top nose, and the contrast between the expansive sweetness and clean acidity is superb!

Jikin Junmai Ginjo Mie Yamadanishiki Nama. I finally got a bottle of this January's GUITO from IMADEYA's hanpukai. It has a mellow, banana-like heady aroma and a soft mouthfeel, with a slight gassy sensation as the sweetness and umami spread out with depth. Sharp acidity and moderate bitterness round out the finish. The sense of balance and perfection is superb!

GOZ - Gozu - Nama-zake. Echigo Den'emon is a microbrewery and a revived brewery, and the brewery's toji, Kohoi Kato, was featured in dancyu's sake feature as a next generation sake. Following Tamakihar and Mishaguchi, the third sake we had was GOZ. The name of this sake, which is made from Gohyakumangoku rice, comes from the fact that it is made from 50% Gohyakumangoku rice and is 5 parts per 5 kilos, or from Mt. It has a refreshing top nose with a hint of lime, and a flavor so expansive that it is hard to believe it is Ihyakumangoku, but the characteristic astringency gives it a crispness. The cool sake quality that is said to be there is expressed well.

SENKOKU Hello World by SAKELABO TOKYO. This is the second stage of Hello World, brewed by Kai of Sakelabo in collaboration with Sengoku, following last year's Hello World. SENKYO's activated nigori sake is known as "Yukidaruma," but this is a unique activated nigori sake brewed with the aim of surpassing it. It has a fresh apple-like aroma and a refreshing gaseous sensation in the mouth that pleasantly stimulates the throat. This year's Snowball had a strong impression of dryness, but this one has a firm sweetness from the supernatant stage. It has a catchy taste with a strong sense of both umami and acidity! When the ori is mixed well, it becomes mellow and more umami, further balancing the taste. This is a masterpiece nigori sake!

Ryusei Hachitan Nishiki In House Yeast. IMADEYA's GUITO! for April is the first sake brewed with wild yeast cultivated from the brewery's own wild yeast, Ryusei, which is brewed by Fujii Shuzo in Hiroshima Prefecture. The aroma is mild, with a lactic acidity derived from the sake yeast, and a slight muscat nuance that may be derived from this yeast. The taste is full, with a beautiful acidity and a bitter and astringent aftertaste. When we heated it up, which was a little out of season, the rich umami spread even further, and it blossomed into an even more wonderful flavor!

Kouriu Akebana Unfiltered. Takachiyo Shuzo spent 5 years to create this new standard sake. It is aluminium-sweetened in pursuit of high cost-performance. It has a blue fruit-like aroma like pear or melon, a smooth mouthfeel, and a full sweetness with a good sharpness, making it an excellent choice as a regular sake. It is a bottle that will perform superbly as a regular sake, just as it was conceived!

HANAHODAYUKU THE PREMIUM Hachitan-Nishiki Junmai Daiginjo, 40% Polishing, Unfiltered Nama-shu. I drank a bottle of this special one to shake off the last vestiges of the last day of GW. The aroma that rises from the moment it is poured into the glass is a pineapple-like tropical fruitiness that is typical of Hanaoyokyu. The clear, juicy sweetness fills the mouth with a sense of chili, while the light, crisp finish, typical of Hachitan-Nishiki, ensures that the sweetness does not linger. Nanyo Shuzo and Hachitan Nishiki may be the strongest combination!

SENKYO × UNITED ARROWS UA Sakura Fubuki. The bright cherry-red color is brought out by using red yeast and brewing at the temperature range of red wine brewing instead of low-temperature fermentation, which is the basic brewing method for sake (not using red yeast, according to the company). （The red yeast is not used in the brewing of red wine.) The strawberry-like aroma and sweet and sour nuances are unique to Senkyoku. The dry bitterness expresses the cleanliness at the end of the season (although we are not sure if it does or not), and the lingering taste is tightened up. Although it was not ready in time for the cherry blossom season, we enjoyed it with fresh green leafy cherry blossoms!

Kaze no Mori Yamadanishiki 807, mid-sake. Sake from Nara is also served at Nara's Miwa Somen specialty restaurant, so we had a set of Kaze no Mori sake to compare. Next was the Yamada-Nishiki Shinchu Sake. The rice is polished to 80%, and as I looked at the yellowish color, I suddenly realized that I have not had many low-polished Yamada-Nishiki. The balance of the flavor, which is not cloying and yet has some complexity, is superb.
