The liquor store told me that it really blows, so I should chill it well and open it in the sink... I opened the bottle with trepidation, but when I opened the bottle a little, it opened with a bang! It opened with a great sound, but it didn't blow at all, thank God. The aroma was slightly sour. When you take a sip, it's a bit bitter and sweet! It tastes like a rather bitter, not sweet grapefruit, and is quite dry. As the temperature rises, you can taste a little sweetness. When mixed, it mellows out a bit and the peariness increases. The next day, the fizz is still a little less fizzy, but not microcarbonated, just regular carbonation🫧. Sour and dry, with a slight lingering sweetness of rice in the aftertaste. Yukiwatari Masayo is refreshing and perfect for a mid-meal drink, with a gentle umami on the dry side.

On a recent trip to Shinshu, I bought a new Yamae-Nishiki sake at a brewery, so I suddenly opened a bottle of this one that I didn't know when to open. I wondered what the difference was between the brewery's limited edition and the commercial version. I wondered if it means that it is not sold anywhere else at that time of the year. The aroma is sweet and refreshingly fruity. I had a feeling it would be delicious. When you taste it, it is fresh and crisp like a meadow, and the delicious taste of rice comes in a fluffy way, followed by a little bitterness. Even after a few days, it is still chili, a little sweet, and refreshingly fruity. This is the kind of wine that makes you want to drink it all the time. After a little more time, the apple and grape-like sweetness increases, but it remains refreshing. It was sweeter than the Hitogokochi, but it was as good as you would expect. It will be a while before I open the brewery's limited edition, so I'll let you know about my visit. It was my first visit to this place and the atmosphere was very nice. I saw someone taking 📷 pictures with the brewery staff, but later I wondered if it was the brewer and the toji's wife. In the neighborhood, I bought walnut bread at a bakery called Levain, which was delicious 🍞. I dragged my friend, who doesn't care much for sake, with me, and when we got back, we almost couldn't afford it! It's delicious! I told him and he bought it with me, so I'm waiting for him to come to the swamp.

The aroma is grape, then pear? When the supernatant is included, it is still grape and pear. It is sweet but not cloying. When mixed, the aroma does not change much, but the koji-like taste increases a little. When you drink it, it is fizzy but also mild. It has a fine, silky mouthfeel with a fluffy sweetness and umami. However, it does not spread out too much, and it quickly tightens up. As the temperature rises, it has a slightly pineapple-like flavor, which disappears with a slight bitterness at the end. Since it is a nigori (nigori in winter), I tried heating it up. The aroma is of rice with a hint of sweet sake. When you drink it, it has an atmosphere similar to that of Hanaizumi, but with a gentle sweetness. Warming: ♨️ At the end of the nigori, there is a little bit of the rice bump left, and you can also taste the flavor of the rice. This is the kind of nigori taste that is good in winter. ❄️ It has a dusty and gentle sweetness like amazake, and a softness like snow melting, like the image on the etiquettes. As the label on the back says, fluffy snow is piling up and even though it's late at night, it's bright with snow........ I thought the concept of this sake was clear when I drank it. It was just right for when I wanted a soft, sweet, gentle nigori, and I enjoyed it.

I saw a review of it at Sake-no-Wa and went looking for it, but Hirotogawa's Nigorigo was also in stock, so I bought it as well. At the cash register, the clerk said, "Oh, this is Shi-Deshi, isn't it? She told me that Mr. Matsuzaki had gone to study at Hoshi-san's place in Hanaizumi. So, I'll take it from the master. There are 4-5 cm of lees! This is exciting. The aroma is peach? Grapes? Muscat? When you drink the supernatant, you will feel the sweet rice and fruity flavor, but they converge surprisingly quickly. After mixing, the sweetness increases a bit, and the rice flavor is soft and fluffy. It disappears with a little bitterness along with the carbonation, so it is not at all persistent. It has a nice sharpness and is delicious! I saw somewhere that it is also delicious warmed up, so I gave it a try. The aroma is of dusty, cooked rice or gohan (rice). When you drink it, it is soft and sweet, almost like amazake. The taste is dusty, sweet, and soothing, with the richness and sourness of koji. The final taste is crisp with a touch of alcohol and sourness. When lukewarm, it still has a fruity and sweet taste with a fizzy atmosphere, and it is as sharp as ever. It is also delicious heated. ♨️ Overall, this sake has a sweetness, but it has a crispness to it that makes it easy to drink in a good rhythm. It's great with darker dishes!

The one I went looking for because I saw your review and it looked so good (all those things). The aroma is grain-based. I think there might be a hint of muscat-like fruity behind the rice and grains. I think there might be some muscat-like fruity flavor behind the rice and grains. When you take it in, you feel a tingling on your tongue. While the aroma of rice spreads out, it ends with a grapefruit-like acidity and a bitter taste at the end. The gap between the robust umami-like flavor that one would expect from the aroma and the chili-fresh greefiness that one gets when drinking it is very interesting! I have never tasted anything like it. The next day, the chile-chile flavor remains and becomes more mellow. The supernatant has fruity acidity and rice. The rice is sweet and tasty, but the overall flavor is clean! When mixed, it starts out as muscat, then the rice slowly permeates through, and before it spreads too far, it is cut off quickly with a touch of alcohol. The bitter taste comes in at the end. Fruity, umami, and clear on the palate. When heated up, the aroma is of rice, and the rice is a little more relaxed. When you drink it, the fruity flavor remains, but after the sweetness of the rice is felt, it gradually disappears, leaving a lingering aftertaste. This was a delicious dish to be served with a warm winter menu. ♨️

Mr. Gyve always raises delicious reviews and once I wanted to drink Hakugaku Sen🍶 Arasugi will be released in time for the Echizen Crab ban. The aroma is sour, rummy. When you include it, you get a firm sense of chili and arabesque. Then grapefruit-like bitter acidity, followed by the aroma and umami of rice in the back, and a lingering aftertaste that lingers slowly after swallowing. Delicious! There was no crab, but I paired it with seafood, including scallops from Betsukai and lobsters that I got that day. The next day, the apple flavor was very sweet. It was delicious, yet refreshing and made me want to drink it again and again. It is a combination of modern and classic. As time goes by and the chilli becomes a little less, you can taste more of the citrus and muscat-like acidity. The acidity on the tongue and the flavor on the swallow. Honey at the back? It also has a richness like honey in the back. I enjoyed it, thinking that sake from a place where seafood is delicious goes perfectly with seafood.

When I saw that a new sake had been released, I was excited and went to buy it. I heard they changed the specs from last year's 40% to 50-50. The aroma is sour and rancid, with a hint of grassy blue. On the palate, it was chili-swirling, with mild pear? and sourness. The sourness comes with a juicy acidity and the richness of rice, and when swallowed, a forest-like aroma of mountain san (🌳). Then it finishes with a light bitterness. Maybe drier than imagined? But it is delicious! The next day, the chiri-shuwa settles down a bit. I like the fact that it has a good flavor, but it is on the refreshing line and is not converted to sweetness. The next day, it became a little more sour and dry. I don't think I have ever felt this change in Yamazan before. The chirichiri is about the same. The aftertaste is refreshing while lingering. It is still mellow and full of flavor, but it also retains its freshness. I am looking forward to another season.

There are still quite a few warm days, but now that it's December, I'm going to open a lovely bottle of winter's doom. The aroma is sour, alcoholic, and pear flavored. When you drink it, it is sizzling, citrusy and sour, and sour pears. It finishes with a slight alcohol taste. Delicious. Pear schwarz after some time! Clear pear soda when just the top clear, mellows out when mixed. It seems to be more...well...blended and flavorful than when just opened. I think I prefer it when the balance of the flavor is more robust and refreshing with time. It was so delicious that I kept drinking it both with food and by itself 🍶.

The senior members of Sake-no-wa were all saying that it was delicious! I was so curious that I went to a liquor store a little farther away. I was glad I could still buy it! The aroma is melon-like sourness. It's a little fluffy. When you drink it, it has a soft and mild mouthfeel, with a soft sweetness and umami flavor. The mild aroma of melon, soft acidity, and richness make the taste tightened. Delicious, this is the kind of wine that you drink slowly! After a few days, the balance remains stable, with the mildness of peaches and melon and the full-bodied acidity increasing. It also has a crisp aftertaste that goes well with meals. I was able to enjoy the Maroromai Hirotogawa. Delicious sake is selling out rapidly 🥲.

On a tired day, I open my favorite Mimuro Cedar. The aroma is sour? Quite faint. There is also a peachy fruity flavor. When you take a sip, you get a bit of chili, and then the typical Mimuro Cedar rummy feeling. When swallowed, it has a honey-like richness, and the taste is sweet, but it doesn't linger. It is delicious. The taste is both strong and refreshing, and is a taste that you would expect from Mimuro Cedar! The balance is good even after a few days. It is not particularly effervescent, but has the flavor of carbonated rum... It is sweet, but also has a light sourness, clear and refreshing. I can't believe this Watership No. 2 is now sold out...it's so good! Looking forward to new products✨

Extra. I don't usually put up outside drinking because I can't keep track of it well myself, but your episodes and travelogues look like fun, so I'll try to post an outside drinking post once in a while: 🗒️ A drink comparison 🍶 that I got at a hot spring hotel on a recent trip to Shinshu. ❄️ Akane Sasu The aroma is fruity. When you drink it, it has a mild sweetness and umami, but not too sweet, with plenty of juicy pineapple. There is no fizz, but you can also feel the chili freshness. ❄️ Tenryo Honor The aroma is mildly fruity, with hints of pear and melon. When you drink it, it is not sweet, but refreshingly light and tasty with pear. It goes well with meals. ❄️ Turtle Sea Hosoyuki The aroma is clear pineapple. When you drink it, you can feel the slight carbonation! Maybe it is freshly opened? Sour pineapple fruity, and the end is cut off by the sourness and alcohol. I chose what I wanted to drink and Tsuchiya Sake Brewery was 2/3.... They were all delicious! Since we were in Nagano, I dragged my friend, who is not so familiar with sake, to visit Okazaki Sake Brewery and get some of their new sake. The surrounding streets and stores had a great atmosphere and I wandered around with a lot of excitement. By the way, I like hot springs myself, and a trip to a hot spring is one of my favorite things to do in winter. If you have a favorite hot spring resort, please let me know: ♨️

I wonder how sour triple acid is! I was curious about the one I bought. The aroma is fruity, apple-like sourness. When I took a sip, I was surprised to find a mild acidity. I thought it would be more sour! And I thought it would be sweeter, as I imagined from the sake degree (-9)! When both are high, it is surprisingly balanced in terms of sweet and sour. Interesting. When I roll it around, I feel a mild sweetness in the middle of my tongue, and a sourness on the sides. Oh, this is triple acidity! There is also a thick honey-like taste behind the acidity. The balance is not lost even after a few hours, and there is nothing that makes it difficult to drink. It was a delicious sake with just the right amount of acidity to make it light and easy to drink.

The series that I gave up on but came across. When I opened the bottle, it came up with a "sizzle" for a moment! I was in a hurry, but I let the air out once and opened the bottle safely. The aroma was slightly apple? and malted rice? When I drank it, I felt a sizzle at first! The carbonation is rough and strong, probably because it is gas-filled. It is not so much "sizzling" as "sizzling" level. As I roll it around, feeling the stimulation of the carbonation on my tongue, I feel a gentle sweetness, and a fruity, apple-like aroma passes through my nose. It feels fizzy and dry, but upon closer inspection, you can tell that the base has a strong sweetness and flavor. Swallowing it with a sense of fullness, it finishes with a bit of bitterness. I thought that it might be good even without the carbonation, so I let it sit for a bit. When I took a sip, I felt a little carbonation and the umami gradually increased, and the gentle sweetness of the rice passed through my nose before ending with a mild acidity. The flavor is well expressed, and the real work begins after the carbonation has been removed. I think it tastes better after the carbonation! I think I like it better after a few hours. This is finally 200 in🍶. My taste buds and expression are not growing at all, but I want to drink it well.

We will have the first Omachi of the year as it is the only Hakurakusei sake. The aroma is of rice with a hint of sweetness. When you drink it, it is soooo good. Oh, this is a hypotonic beverage type sometimes! (?). It goes down smoothly, without any sticking point. The beautiful sweetness spreads, but before it spreads too much, it converges and disappears. I wanted to savor it for a long time, so I kept asking for another glass. After the next day, you may feel a little bitterness, but the balance is not lost. The next day, I think I might taste a bit of bitterness, but the balance is still there. As usual, it is full of a sense of transparency, and the soft sweetness and umami come in softly and disappear quickly. When paired with light Japanese food, the umami flavor rally and amplify, but it still maintains a beautiful mouthfeel, making it a delicious sake that can be drunk for a long time. It is indeed the ultimate food sake.

Gokotsuru has a colorful retro-style label. The aroma is sour-ish, not sweet. When you drink it, it is chili-swirling and slowly sweet? A little apple-like. A deep sweet aroma of rice passes through the nose and ends crisply. It seems sweet, but surprisingly, the spread of umami seems to be classic dry. I think it has been a long time since I have had this type of sake. A little after opening the bottle, the richness and mildness of Gokotsuru-like flavor comes out more strongly. The moment it enters the mouth, the citrus-like acidity passes through the nose, the sweet umami spreads slowly, the umami comes quickly, and it is cut off by the spiciness of the alcohol. It is full of Mikotsuru flavor and was delicious with a meal.

It's time to drink this again. Less lees than last year's 2? The aroma is pear-like. Juicy and refreshing Japanese pear🍐. First, including the supernatant, it is a delicious chili pear juice! Not sweet, but not sour, just a nice light sweet and sour. It's not sweet and sour, but it has a refreshing yet soft flavor. When mixed, the texture goes from slippery to fine, smooth and silky, and the sweetness seems to increase a little. It finishes with a light bitterness. It's a bit on the dry side, but not too dry. Maybe more mellow than last year's 2? After a few days, the aroma seems to have gone beyond pear and become more mucky. I like it when it's freshly opened and then mellows out a bit on the second or third day 👀. I wonder if there will be a 2nd one this time around? My memory is a little suspect, but last year's 2 was so good, I hope they come out with another one!

I've always been curious about Goshiki Saiun ☁️, a summer sake that uses white malted rice. The aroma is light citrus acidity, a little alcohol? When you drink it, it has a soft acidity and mild rice sweetness, accented by a bit of a kick of alcohol. A little muscat, too? Anyway, it is a slushy type. As the temperature rises a bit, it becomes rounder. The impression is that the acidity becomes a little more rice-like, mellow, and easier to drink. The aftertaste is clean and refreshing, and it is easy to pair with Western food.

When I opened the bottle, the liquid level was sizzling, and after opening and closing the bottle twice, the bottle was safely opened. The aroma is a bit sour, like Senkyoku. When you drink it, it is dry with a touch of sourness, acidity, and rice. It is quite light, but you can feel its richness. It is a comfortable wine that makes you want to drink it, and it lands right where you want it. The next day, the supernatant is light, acidic, but the rice atmosphere is fluffy. When mixed, the rice tastes richer and tastier. I like it better when mixed. At the end of the day, I think I can feel the wood, which I couldn't tell at first... it feels more like a wooden vat than at first? Overall, is it similar to 0.0 Dobrok? I thought it was, but I think it's quite different... my memory is what it is... this one is a little less sweet and feels relatively dry with a fluffy cooked rice feel. I'm looking forward to this year's Sengoku, which recently returned to Edo.

When I peeled off the metal cover, there was a yellowish sticky ingredient around the lid...had it been stored too long? I opened the bottle with a sense of excitement. (And it was as hard to open as the Purple Space.) The aroma is soy sauce...! When you take a sip, you can feel the bubbles, the soy sauce, and the burnt caramel-like aroma. The mouthfeel is sweet and...what is it...sweet, like mirin (sweet sake) or mitarashi (sweet sake). But the taste is surprisingly quick. It's like a "shuwashuwa, amajoishii ichisshuhu"! It's like that...(?) It's a little too strong because it is soy sauce based. Because it is soy sauce-based, it goes very well with foods that have a slightly strong soy sauce flavor. Is it originally this kind of flavor, or did we let it sit too long? The next day, when I drank the supernatant, I felt less soy sauce than the day before. The next day, I drank the supernatant and found it to be less soy saucey than the day before, with a savory but sour taste. When mixed, the mild soy sauce and rice flavor increases. When heated, it tastes like rice and sweet sake, but not as sweet as when chilled. As it cools, the sharpness improves. Furthermore, the next day, it becomes less soy-saucey. It became a mild sweet and sour nigori, leaving a slight savory flavor. I think I like it better when it is freshly opened because it has more impact. What the heck is this? I was surprised at how interesting this sake was!

It was Ryoma Sakamoto's birthday, so I opened a bottle of this sake. (I remembered it in the morning of the day and bought a bottle on the way home, thinking that it was a Tosa sake. ㊙️) The aroma is more fruity than I imagined. A little sourness. It is quite faint. When you drink it, the umami of the rice comes gradually, but it cuts off before it spreads too much. This is a nice dry sake 🍶 It is a classic dry sake for when you want a dry sake. I think I would like to pair it with bonito. It has no strange sweetness, so you can drink it with Japanese food for a long time. It was a sake that I enjoyed deeply. By the way, I was looking up Sakamoto Ryoma while drinking this sake, and found out that he died on the same day, November 15. (Both are on the lunar calendar).

Good morning, Kotaro 😃. I see that 11/15 is your birthday and the anniversary of your death 😳I've only had Funakakuhasaku outside 😅I understand why you would want to drink it with bonito 🤗It's a good food sake 😚.

Hi Jay & Nobby, ☀️ I was surprised to see that Ryoma's birth and death dates are both on November 15 👀. After all, Kochi's dry sake is bonito 👍It's like a middle-of-the-road food sake without the peculiarities, and it goes well with both sake and food: ☺️
