At the sake shop hanpukai. The sake rice is Yumeko, grown by the brewer's best friend since kindergarten. While there have been frequent problems with rice melting in many areas, this rice field is located at an altitude of 700 to 800 meters above sea level and has a good temperature difference, so the quality of the rice is fine. The aroma is sour and alcoholic and fruity. When you drink it, it has a raw pichiswa, and while the umami and sweetness come slowly, there is a bit of bitterness. Deep sweetness and astringency like grapes pass through to the nose, which is then tightened by the full-bodied flavor. There is a lingering acidity. Even after the bottle is opened, it does not become too sweet. It is not too sweet. When you think it might be sweet, it quickly pulls away just before becoming sweet, and then it disappears. The sweetness and flavor of the rice is gradually absorbed. This is a guy who can do it. The sake was designed to be sweet, but it was well balanced, not going all the way to the end and finishing nicely.

I was saving it carefully and then the 3rd one came out. I wanted to compare them, but I couldn't wait until winter, so I opened the bottle. The aroma was sour grapefruit. The first thing I noticed was the top clear liquid, which was a bit of rice. This is the taste of Sentori's shuwashuwa! Delicious rice soda. When mixed, the aroma is a fluffy sweetness of rice. As you drink it, the sweetness and umami increase, and while the liquid is in your mouth, along with the rice flavor, there is also a citrus acidity and bitterness, with a grapefruitiness to it. When swallowed, the sweetness of the rice passes through the nose, and the lingering umami flavor comes through slowly and finishes crisply without lingering too long. After the next day, it has a bit of apple flavor, but it is not fruity, just the umami of the rice. The bitterness may not be felt that much. There is sourness, a little bitterness, and the sweetness of the rice. It reminds me of 0.0 Dobrok, but I guess it would be different if I compared them. The taste was exactly what I expected.

We will take a look at the first appearance. The aroma is slightly pineapple fruity. When you drink it, it is a little chili, pineapple flavor sweetness, umami, and bitterness. It has a nice sharpness thanks to the lingering acidity. It was a bit sweet at first, perhaps because I was drinking it with Wajima Monogatari, which I posted one day ago, but it was not sticky, so I was able to enjoy it with my meal easily. As the day goes on, the pineapple might be less noticeable, surprisingly. Although it was a little sweet, I had the impression that it was sharp and relatively refreshing. I think it is nice that the sake has various "◯◯Sugata" names according to the season. The summer sake "yukata sugata" gives me a nostalgic feeling and makes me want to drink it.

It is still fresh in my mind that the other day, when the emergency earthquake alert went off at dawn, my heart ached for the Noto region...again. We will have it with gratitude that multiple breweries have connected their thoughts and have brought us here now. The aroma is clear, acidic, and rice. When you drink it, it is mild and fruity, with a hint of pear, nutty aroma, sweetness of rice, and umami. You can taste the grapefruit-like acidity and the umami of the rice. When swallowed, it disappears like water. There is a slight bitterness at the end. Even though it is dry, it has a gentle umami flavor and is delicious. It is hot, but we tried heating it up. When it is lukewarm, the aroma is of rice with a hint of sourness. When it is served warm, it has a soft sweetness of rice, a sourness and a bit of bitterness, and then it finishes with a sharp kick. When it is hot, the aroma is of rice, but it is also sweet and chestnut-like. It has a strong umami and sweetness of rice, and a slight bitterness at the end. It is also delicious warmed. There is not much I can do, but I will never stop thinking about what I can do. I wish for the return of normalcy as soon as possible..!

When I heard about Yamazan's summer sake, I immediately went to buy it. I was told that it is a 50% blend of Yamae-Nishiki and Hitogokochi sake, each brewed with a different type of sake. It was already confirmed to be delicious. The aroma was slightly sour, with a little alcohol? It also has a fruity flavor. When you drink it, it is a bit chili, sour, sweet, and umami. The sweetness and richness come in a subdued way, and then dissolve with a fresh aroma like that of a forest. After the next day, the chirichiri-ness gradually subsides, but it remains stable. I sipped it while thinking, "Ah, this is the aroma of Yamazan - I love it..." I thought it was sweet, but it was not. It is not too sweet, but not too sweet, not too much of umami, but not too blurred either. It is light but not too light, yet fresh and refreshing. It is fresh and refreshing, with a slight astringency accentuated by a crisp and refreshing taste. It has a perfect sense of transparency, and gives the impression of a forest that seems to emit negative ions. Even though it is a summer sake, it is a highly satisfying sake with a strong flavor. And at only 1,500 yen, it is a perfect match for your wallet.

The aroma is sweet and sour, with a bit of cream cheese-like milky lactic acidity. When you take a sip, it is chili-chili-shuwa, with a Yakult-like acidity and a rich sweetness that spreads. There is also a slight bitterness. There is a bit of bitterness, and the next day it is still there. It is creamy, moist, and sweet, with a lactic acid drink type acidity that spreads slowly but is still sharp. I imagined it would have a clean taste, but it has a pretty strong flavor. Maybe I left it too long? As the day goes by, the chili flavor settles down, and it becomes a mildly sweet flavor with a bit of sourness. It was good, but a little sweet for my taste. I tried a mango salad paired with a sour fruity sake recommended by another sake brewer, and it was delicious and refreshing. (Thaw frozen mangoes, toss with olive oil, and sprinkle with a little Parmigiano-Reggiano) The 3rd-4th pictures are Kangiku's Sakekasu Smoothie Ale that I had before. It is a sweet and refreshing tropical with mandarin oranges + pineapple, but it also has a crisp, dry bitterness that makes it refreshing and tasty without being too sweet. There are many flavors available, so I would like to buy another one if I see one I like.

Summer has already come and gone in terms of Omine, but I will drink. The aroma is muscat. The first thing you notice is the sweetness of the grapes. The lingering taste is full-bodied and acidic, which makes you want to drink the next saké. When mixed, there is a slight bitterness? The next day and after that, the schwash is still there. The bitterness comes at the end. I guess it is grape. As the day goes by, the fizziness disappears and the rice flavor increases a little. After the grape taste, the sweetness of the rice lingers in the mouth. I thought it might become sweeter as the fizz disappears, but the freshly opened one has a deeper sweetness, and the latter half of the bottle went in the direction of a crisp and clean aftertaste. I enjoyed it on its own and during dinner.

At the sake shop, my eyes met with this smiling face. I didn't hesitate to buy it because of the parade of power words. The aroma was slightly sour and fruity. When you sip it, you can feel its freshness and sweetness. It has a deep sweetness and richness like grapes, but at the same time it has a freshness like apples. Sweet but not too sweet, it is easy to pair with food. After the next day, the aroma is a bit like that of Nara pickles. There is a slight alcohol taste. When you drink it, you can taste the soft sweetness and the bitterness in the aftertaste. It is easy to drink with strong-flavored snacks. As is typical of Shinshu sake, it has a strong flavor and umami, but it also has a nice sharpness, making it a delicious drink.

I wandered around the liquor store and bought it because I wanted a dry sake, it was Yamae-Nishiki, and the label was cool. I wanted something spicy after a long day of mellow and sweet sake, so I opened the bottle. The aroma was slightly citrusy and sour. When you drink it, you can feel the alcohol, sourness, and umami. There is a slight bitterness in the aftertaste. It is crisp and easy to drink. After opening the bottle, the overall impression may not change significantly. The umami and acidity seem to increase. It is a perfect food wine, and is best served with light meals. It is a perfect match for light simmered dishes, and goes very well with them.

It was purchased on the recommendation of a liquor store. I think it was indeed reasonably priced for a 40% polished sake. The aroma is sour and fruity. When you drink it, it is rich and full-bodied. The sweet aroma of dark muscats and cotton candy comes in a rush, followed by sweetness and sourness. Then the sweetness and the sourness come and go... and then they disappear. Finally, there is a slight bitterness. It is quite sweet, but the acidity makes it easy to drink. I would like to sip it with snacks. After the next day, it surprisingly tends toward sharpness rather than sweetness. The sweetness is offset by the strong taste, so it goes well with strong food. It is not sticky sweet at all, and has a nice sharpness, so it can be used even during a meal. Personally, I prefer it with snacks rather than on its own. Although I left it for a long time, the mixture of the rough runner and the blamed one was well-balanced and tasty.

The nose has a hint of grapefruit and woody nuances. So this is a wooden vat. When you drink it, it is still quite shwashy. It is refreshing, but the flavor is more intense than expected, with citrus acidity and a lingering, strong rice umami. I can't remember the last time I had this, so I can't tell the difference between this and the standard Yamadanishiki... regrettably. It's good, so I guess it's ok... I thought that the taste might have changed considerably based on my previous experience, but the change was about the same as I had imagined. However, when I took it out of the refrigerator to drink it and left it for a few minutes, the cork popped by itself and went to the ceiling...! and it went to the ceiling...it still seems to be in good health. When I drank it, the robust flavor remained the same, but the overall taste had become more acclimated and went more smoothly. As it was, I thought it was getting quite sweet...but when I paired it with the snacks, I didn't feel the sweetness as much, and personally, it was easy to drink. I enjoyed it both during the meal and on its own.

The nose has a hint of sourness and a slight alcoholiness. When you drink it, it is gentle, shiny, and shwashy. Then the umami of the rice is gradually released. It does not come with a bang, but the umami is strong, and there is almost no sweetness that directly appeals to the tongue, but that does not mean that it is dry. But overall, it has a soft sweetness and is not too spicy. It's really easy to drink." The taste is true to the concept of "sake you can drink a bottle of in the dining room. After the next day, the schwashiness diminishes. There is a grapefruit feel to it. The taste is not sweet, but it is somehow slightly sweet and gentle. It also seems to be a little snappier. I appreciate that it doesn't roll over into sweetness as the day goes on. It is not the type of sake whose characteristics are immediately apparent upon drinking, but it is a delicious sake that accompanies daily meals and makes you want to drink it anytime.

Test rice brewed sake part 2 I bought it right after it went on sale, thinking that I had to try it because (1) was so good. The bottle was opened with a pop! A nice sound when the bottle was opened. The aroma was slightly sour. When you take a sip, you can feel it sizzling. The sweetness comes in softly, and the umami spreads with a hint of sourness! The sourness finishes with a lingering aftertaste. It makes your throat feel warm. I have a feeling that this will be easy to drink the next day. After the next day, it becomes much rounder, mellower, and calmer. The freshness continues. The acidity at the end is present (though not strong). I think it is a little sweeter than (1)... I can't remember for sure... Anyway, Zenkichi is delicious. If it were available, I would want to buy it.

I bought it because I was curious about the spring-like light-colored label... but before I could open it, it was summer-like temperatures. The aroma is pear and sour. When you take a sip, it's so soft and sweet, like grapes, on the nose. The rich umami and sweetness came with a bang! The taste is soft and lingering, with a slight bitterness in the aftertaste. There is also a freshness that is somewhat herbal, but it is not clingy. When mixed, it does not change that much, probably because there is not so much lees. The bitterness and sharpness have increased a little. The next day, it seems easier to drink than the day before. A little sourness may have arrived. It is easier to drink after some time has passed than the impression of the first day, and it is easier to drink with food. The bitterness in the aftertaste is a little bothersome, but perhaps that is a good thing? As the day goes by, the sweetness settles down and becomes a balanced type of rice flavor. It is not sticky by any means and has a refreshing taste, so I enjoyed it with my meal. It was also delicious on its own.

I'll take this one, which reminds me of Jojo (especially part 5) every time I see the name. The aroma is a bit herbal? Sour and fruity. When you take a sip of it, you get a sizzling, sour taste, and then the sweetness of the rice escapes into your nose. The sweetness of the rice escapes through the nose, and there is a slight bitterness at the end. After swallowing, a lingering umami flavor lingers in the mouth. It is delicious. It also has a rummy-like taste, and at 13 degrees Celsius, you can't help but gobble it up. The next day, there is still a bit of fizziness, and it is still a bit shuffling. The aroma is strongly fruity, like grape or pear. The sweetness and umami spread out, and the acidity comes through at the end, making it easy to drink. The amount of the bottle was so small that it was gone in no time at all. It was so fast that I thought it might have been too little, but it was di molto bene.

Opened a bottle of CEL-24, a well-known pineapple juice, pink label Tosa Urara version. The aroma is pineapple, just as it is reputed to be. When you include it, it becomes a little bit thicker, and the sweetness spreads softly without that much raw schwippiness, probably because it has been around for a long time. While it tastes firmly of pineapple juice, the aroma in the nose as you swallow it seems to be the sweetness of rice. Finally, the sourness comes with a Jun... and ends with a little lingering taste. After the next day, the pineapple settles down a bit. ...No, the pineapple is still there, but the acidity seems to increase a little. The final acidity tightens things up, so it may not be as sweet as I thought. I enjoyed this pineapple juice that did not tingle my upper jaw. Maybe it is better to drink it when the mood and the food matches with this drink.

The aroma is slightly sweet, with a slight sourness. When you include it, you feel a thick texture on the tongue and a chili like freshness. It seems to be rich sweet and umami, but it disappears with a lingering umami and mild acidity. There is also a slight bitterness in the aftertaste? As was the case with Akaban Omachi, the balance is not lost even a few days after opening the bottle, and the sense of transparency remains unchanged. While the umami of the rice is present, the sweetness and acidity are not overly assertive, making it easy to drink. It is amazing that there is absolutely no unnecessary tugging on the alcohol or anything else as it goes down the throat. As a spring sake, it has a slightly more sparkling impression than the Omachi, which was also delicious.

It's a pink Abe now that I have a line of Abe's in the fridge. The aroma is sweet and refreshing? It smells different from the yellow one I got before. I thought there was a pineapple-like flavor in it, and when I looked at it, I found that it is the only caproon type in the Abe series. The top layer is a bit sour, but then the rich sweetness comes in. Finally, the acidity kicks in again at the end. When mixed, it becomes a little more bitter and a little drier. But what passes through the nose is sweet rice, delicious. After a few days, the pineapple aroma subsides a bit. The aroma is soft and sweet like rice. A little bitter at the end. The sizzle is just right, and it's low in alcohol, so I drank more and more.

I didn't hesitate to buy it because I had liked the taste of the previous red wings. The aroma is a little sweet fruity, quite ooey gooey. When you include it, there is a slight piquancy on the tongue. The sweetness comes, but then the richness is felt and the flavor of the rice spreads softly. Finally, the sourness comes and disappears. The next day, the taste remains the same, but the aroma seems to have changed somehow. I wonder what this aroma is...it is a little like the aroma of Morishima's comet.... Furthermore, the next day, did I get used to the scent? Did it return? I was no longer bothered by it and enjoyed the taste of the rice. I knew it would be delicious, but it was still delicious.

A few years ago, when I first started enjoying sake, a clerk at an antenna store in Shimane told me that he personally recommended a Shimane sake called Ohroku, which is not available here, so I looked for a distributor and bought some. I don't remember what it tasted like, but I do remember thinking that it was some kind of samurai-like sake.... Although it is a Jokai brand name, I bought it for the first time in several years due to the liquor store's strong recommendation. They released a little bit of the 2017 vintage that was ready to drink. The aroma is full-bodied and nutty, like nuts and avocado. On the palate, hmmm? What is this... sweet... or so I thought... but it is not sweet... the savory, aged-like richness comes with a gulp and quickly disappears with a strong acidity, sh.... It's a sensation I've never had before, and it's delicious. After opening the bottle, it rounds out and softens. There may be a slight bitterness in the aftertaste. The fullness and umami are still there, but the mouthfeel becomes gentler and easier to drink. I didn't get the impression that it was particularly like a samurai, but I would like to try a Super-Oroku or something like it again. It may be difficult to age a sake at this level, but I hope to encounter it again when my taste buds have grown up.

Good morning, Kotaro 😃. The presence of the King's Rake is very samurai-like 😊. I didn't know about Jodi 😅 2017 vintage! The name Takemichi made me think of Timelapse ⁉️ 😆 Tasteful rice is easy to understand!
