The delicate and clean taste has an elegant finish with a hint of glamour. Aruga Brewery, which brews this sake, is a long-established brewery with a 250-year history in Shirakawa, Fukushima.

The brewery's aspirations and techniques are certainly reflected in the gentle yet core flavor of its sake.

The aroma is fresh and melon-like, and the first sip of this wine makes you say, "It's beautiful. Fruity but not too sweet, with a gentle minerality and core flavor that lingers in the aftertaste. It is not overly clear, as is often the case with daiginjos, but rather, it gently retains its sake-like character, It is impressive in its subtlety with a firm thickness and lingering aftertaste.

When you put your face close to the glass, you can smell the gorgeous ginjo aroma. A lovely, sweet aroma reminiscent of strawberries and white peaches wafts through the air. However, when you put it in your mouth, it is surprisingly mild and the tone is more subdued than the aroma. It gives the impression of being both lovely and elegant. The taste has a freshness that is typical of freshly squeezed sake, with a full body and umami. A gentle acidity envelops the entire bottle, and the aftertaste is softly spreading sweetness with a slightly long, gentle aftertaste. This wine is light, yet leaves a strong impression.

I look forward to Melon 3.33 every year. It was a shame I missed buying it this year, but I was really happy to see it again at the event. It has a gentle, straightforward flavor of a sake made with a "sake yeast" (生酛) brewing process & no added yeast. It has a soft aroma reminiscent of ripe melon, and the balance of plump sweetness and natural acidity is very pleasant and light on the palate, making it easy to drink. As the name "3.33," meaning "1/3 step" of the four-step brewing process, suggests, the sweetness is moderate and refreshing. It has the juiciness of unfiltered sake, but with a natural finish that makes one feel relaxed. It was a bottle that reminded us once again of the appeal of natural sake.

When we visited the brewery in March, the blue was still fermenting in the tanks. I had been looking forward to a bottle ever since I saw it bubbling and bubbling, and finally got a glass. The aroma is subdued, with just a hint of green apple and grapefruit. In the mouth, a light gaseous sensation bursts forth, followed by a clean umami and a refreshing acidity. While the freshness of the sake stands out, the quality of the sake is sharp and clean, with an impressive crisp summery finish. It has a refreshing taste that will reset your palate after a meal with fat, such as grilled meat. It is a perfect summer sake to be enjoyed chilled in the refrigerator.

Aizan" was specially served at the event. The freshness of the just-opened bottle was pleasant, and the moment it hit the palate, I was drawn in by its bouncy freshness and sweet aroma. The rounded sweetness typical of Aizan gently spreads, and the refreshing acidity reminiscent of muscat or green apple tightens the whole. While being light, it also has a firm umami flavor typical of ICHIHAKUSUISEI and a sense of three-dimensionality created by the five tastes. It was a gorgeous and charming sake that captured my heart from the first cup. It is a once-in-a-lifetime sake that is perfect for special occasions such as events. The charm of this sake is even more apparent when it is served chilled.

We had a special chance to drink this sake, which is only available in Minamisoma City, at the "Konsai Festival"! This bottle is full of our commitment to additive-free and wooden vat brewing. When you put it in your mouth, a gentle sweetness spreads softly, and it has a very smooth, smooth texture. It is not flashy, but the umami of rice and the soft acidity spread gradually, and it has a gentle taste that seems to soak into the body easily. The acidity is very mild, and the lactic acidity is moderate. There is no heaviness or peculiarity that is often found in doburoku, and the overall impression is very clean. The aroma of banana and muscat aromas also rose faintly, and the natural fermentation-derived aroma gently passed through the nose each time the sake was drunk. It has a good balance of umami, sweetness, and aroma, and has a relaxing taste somewhat like Japanese sweets. This was a special opportunity to experience the "taste of Minamisoma" using local rice, water, and air at an event. The simple and honest production of this doburoku reached straight to our hearts.

This bottle was brewed using Nara Prefecture's "Nanarrow," a rice suitable for sake brewing, in the traditional Bodemoto brewing method that originated in Nara. It was an ambitious work that challenged us to see how far we could bring out the character of a new sake rice using an ancient brewing method. The moment I took a sip, I was struck by its clear, smooth acidity and soft, natural sweetness. The taste was familiar and refreshing, somewhat reminiscent of rum and white peaches, and was light yet juicy. Along with the acidity typical of sake yeast yeast, a "gentle wildness" characteristic of bodied yeast is faintly felt, and the layers of flavor spread out like a watercolor painting. While Nanarrow 657 from Kaze no Mori, which is made from the same Nanarrow, has a clear purity with a gaseous and sweet taste, Mimuro Sugi has a lightness with a slight complexity and a supple sense of balance. Both are "sake rice that will grow up in the future," and we could feel the difference in expression by each sake brewer. The character of Nanadoro itself is still unknown, but this was a gentle and gorgeous cup that gave us a glimpse of its potential. This sake can be enjoyed either cold or at room temperature, and I look forward to its future in Nara.
