Sharaku純米吟醸 なごしざけ

Nagoshi Zake seems to be a sake classified between Natsuzake and Hiyaoroshi. It has a mellow aroma like melon - magic. It tastes fruity with a hint of acidity. The aftertaste is slightly alcoholic, but the sweetness is light and refreshing, making it the perfect sake for a meal. The snack is handmade oden. Oyster sauce is the secret flavor. Personal rating -> B

Matsumoto's local sake Dai Shinshu at a pub in Matsumoto. When you take a sip, it is as refreshing and easy to drink as water. After that, it goes through the nose. This was a stable sake. The dish: Shinshu Shirakaba beef tataki. We had it with three kinds of miso: wasabi, yuzu kosho, and shichimi miso. Personal rating -> A

The first Jyushiro in two years. And it's unfiltered, which I like best. The aroma is like a pear. It goes down smoothly and the sweetness spreads afterwards. I felt the difference from the Masamune without feeling the alcohol. It's not fair that it has such a strong taste. Moreover, one cup is 700 yen. The dish is deep-fried chicken tempura. It was really delicious and I couldn't stop drinking. Personal rating -> S

We had a drink in Matsumoto City today. They are very particular about their sake, and it's only 700 yen a glass. I was looking at the menu with excitement. The aroma is subdued and goes down the throat smoothly without resistance. Then, after a slight bitterness, sweetness spreads to the mouth. It was really easy to drink because it was clean and refreshing. The snack was Shinshu salmon. Personal rating -> A+

This is also my first Tobiroki. The impression I got from drinking it was that it was refreshing and irresistible, and in a good way it had a watery thirst with a deep dark taste at the end. There was no fruity taste. Personal rating -> B

This is a Junmai Daiginjo from the highly rare Hanayo-Yoku. The aroma is melon-like. There was information that it was fruity, but when I took a sip, it was different from the fruity sake I've had before. It has a deep melon and pineapple-like flavor, and is really easy to drink. The aftertaste was also refreshing and went well with the food. Personal rating -> A+

This time, we drank at a restaurant after a long time. I had Masumi which I was interested in before. It had a honey-like flavor and a mellow, deep impression. A specialty, the sashimi platter. It was a bold restaurant with this for two people. Personal rating -> A

This is the first Hououmida. It has a peachy fruity aroma. The taste is thick and juicy. When it was cold, it had a slight bitterness and an angular impression, but as the temperature dropped, the sweetness increased and it became mellower. It seems that the taste changes after opening the bottle, so it will be a bottle that you can enjoy for a long time. [Postscript] When I drank it two days after opening the bottle, the sweetness and depth increased and it was like a different kind of alcohol. It's not bad to drink it slowly like this!

Good evening, yoko-san. I missed to buy this Houou label because it is a little bit expensive, so I hesitated to buy it and it was gone.

This is the Shinsei I've been longing for. It has a rich taste and a good acidity. The aftertaste is complex with a good balance of bitterness and sweetness. You will feel satisfied as if you are drinking multiple alcoholic beverages in one bottle. It is not too light and not too deep, so it is easy to drink and can be drunk many times. Personal rating -> S

I was lucky enough to get this Senkou Akatombo. Following Kabutomushi and Senko Hanabi, this is my third Senkou, and one of my favorite breweries. When you put it in your mouth, it's juicy and mild with acidity, just like Senkou. My first impression was the same as Kabutomushi and Senko Hanabi, but the aftertaste was a little bitter and I thought it was autumn sake. I'm completely captivated by Senkou. Personal rating -> A

In winter, they serve a nigorizake called Yukidaruma, which is highly recommended!

My long awaited instrument Masamune! The sake here is, in a word, cosmopolitan! It's a Honjo sake, so the price is an amazing little over 1000 yen for a 4-gallon flight. Even so, the taste is very juicy with an aroma and flavor like a pear. The taste is also rich and reminds me of the Jyushiyo I drank a long time ago. The aftertaste was a little bitter and the alcohol was a little disappointing, but overall it was a well balanced and wonderful sake. I would like to try the Junmai next. Personal rating -> A

An alcoholic drink I found by chance. It has a low alcohol content of 6%. The sake is cloudy and the aroma is sweet and sour like yogurt. It is refreshing in the mouth. It has a sour taste, and then a little sweetness remains. The sake was originally made to go with Kagawa's famous bone-in chicken, so we had garlic steak with chicken thighs as a snack. After eating oily meat, pouring this sake in neutralizes the oil, and you can enjoy an endless loop of meat and sake. I was very satisfied with this unusual sake. Personal rating: B+.

This is the third Kaze no Mori. This time it is the standard alpha type. The aroma is fruity and moderately alcoholic, just like Kaze no Mori. When I put it in my mouth, it is very delicious with the combination of gas and sweetness. The aftertaste was a bit dry, but it was light enough to go well with western style snacks. Personal rating -> A

I was lucky enough to get a bottle of Senkou's Sparkler. This is Senkou's autumn sake, whose stock has been rising rapidly since the last Kabutomushi was right up my alley. It has a clean and fruity aroma, and when you take a sip, the sweetness and acidity come rushing in. It is similar to Kabutomushi and has a light impression, but it is still an autumn sake and the juiciness is much different. The aftertaste is also different from Kabutomushi, which is refreshing, and it leaves a little bitterness, just like the sparklers at the end of summer. The accompaniment was spinach, Chinese cabbage, chicken thigh meat, and cod. The soup stock is just boiled with sake and kombu, and kombu ponzu. There is no doubt that sake advances. Personal rating -> A+

Color tone→Transparent Aroma → Light citrus aroma Impression: It is light. It's refreshing, but the sweetness and low alcohol content make it easier to drink than refreshing. Kaze no Mori's greatest feature is its slight carbonation, which makes it easy to drink as if it were water. Personally, I have the impression of Senkou Beetle - refreshing and sweet. It is a perfect sake for aperitifs. I want to drink it again. Personal rating -> S

I've been longing for a kabuto bug! I missed buying it this year and had to give up, but miraculously I found it🍉! It's low in alcohol and has a sweet and sour, refreshing taste that goes perfectly with summer! I can drink this as much as I want. I can't wait until next year. Personal rating -> S

Color → Almost transparent, with a slight yellow component Aroma → Not so strong, but a faint melon aroma Taste→First impression is strong taste! Mild and slightly sweet. When it passes through the throat, it is clear and sharp. This is a summer sake of the newly released Kutouryuu brand (Koryu Shuzo). It is made to be enjoyed on the rocks as well. I personally am very satisfied with it, as I prefer fruity flavors. I thought the taste was close to Sharaku. Best of all, the name "Ice Yashi Sake", the bottle, and the label were all right up my alley! Personal rating -> B+
