A little bit of luxury on a regular night. This is a bottle that perfectly fits the concept of "a little richness. The fresh and pleasant mouthfeel with a fresh and comfortable mouthfeel. The gentle fruity aroma of lychee and muscat fruits wafts softly in the air, and the elegant sweetness of the Yamadanishiki malted rice and the soft acidity of the Yume-no-Kou combine exquisitely. The freshness and gassiness of CSW's limited-edition, directly pumped, raw sake bursts on the tongue, giving a very fresh impression from the first sip. It is in the price range for everyday use, but the taste is truly "a little bit better. It is a bottle with such a presence that it enriches your regular evening drinks.

This year, too, I like the taste! From the first sip, you can't help but nod your head and say, "Ah, Machida's Omachi, this is it! The juicy sweetness and umami wrapped in a tight gassiness. The juicy sweetness and umami wrapped in a tight, gassy texture fills your mouth with a soft, fluffy, Omachi-like flavor. However, the Machida brewery's amazing feature is that the aftertaste is pleasant and refreshing. It has the freshness and transparency that can only come from direct pumping, and it is a bottle that makes us glad we were able to drink it again this year. The acidity is firm but rounded, giving the impression of being gently wrapped around the entire bottle. It has a good balance of sweetness, acidity, and umami, giving a sense of security. I would like to continue to drink Machida Shuzo's "Direct Kumi" series.

Golden Tenmei" is a bottle that makes you think it is special after all. From the moment you take a sip, the clear sweetness and soft acidity spread out as if a light is shining through. The taste is not heavy, but has depth and gently expands. The lingering aftertaste is very beautiful, and the pleasant feeling continues for a while after drinking. This sake, made with 37% polished "Yume-no-Ko" from Aizu Sakashita and brewed with all of the brewery's technology, seems to embody Tenmei's theme of "a sake that goes well with meals. Each element is not too showy, yet there is a core, and all the flavors are in gentle harmony. The smoothness of the koji, carefully made using the "Nakabako method," is evident in the gentle mouthfeel, and the attention to detail is evident. This sake is not only "just delicious," but also gentle and refined enough to "fit in at the dining table and remain in one's memory. It is no wonder that this sake has gone from a seasonal product to a standard item. I think this is the culmination of Tenmei's uniqueness.

The first sip of this sake made me honestly feel that it was carefully crafted. The toji himself uses the Gohyakumangoku grapes he grows himself, and the careful processes he goes through one by one, such as small brewing, medium fermentation, unfiltered filtration, and bottle-hosing, are evident in the flavor. The aroma is soft, like ripe pears, with a hint of white flowers. In the mouth, a natural and mild sweetness spreads slowly, and the moderate juicy acidity nicely regulates the flavor. It is not flashy, but has no cloying taste, and has a clear, transparent flavor that seems to soak in. Both the aroma and taste are somehow gentle, yet have a solid core. It is a bottle that conveys the feeling that "from the rice to the sake, we have done everything we wanted to do. It has a natural charm that will accompany your daily meals. The impressive label is actually a design of the sake's "flavor image. The design team that created "Kumamon" was responsible for the design. The design team created "Kumamon" and other sake brands. Both seem to be naturally linked to each other.

This sake has a Sake meter of -62. When I first saw this number, I did a double-take. It is "extremely sweet" beyond my imagination, but it is not just sweet. It has a core and depth as a sake, and above all, it has a surprisingly refreshing aftertaste. In the mouth, it has a thick and dense texture. It is like a perfectly ripe white peach or pear preserved in honey. The slight acidity beautifully rounds out the flavor, giving it a richness reminiscent of a noble rot wine. It is often said to have a "glycerin-derived sweetness," but it really is velvety and mild. The sweetness is not sharp, but spreads softly on the tongue and quietly melts away. The dense and elegant sweetness is unique to kijoshu, which uses part of the sake as brewing water. It would be a perfect after-dinner dessert sake, or even better with chocolate or blue cheese. We heartily recommend this bottle to those who want to taste a "new world of sweetness. This is not so much a "drinking sweet" as it is a "drinking luxury.

The first new sake from Machida Sake Brewery, and it's a direct pumping. Already, that alone is enough to make me excited ♡. The refreshing aroma of rum and lychee is softly fragrant. In the mouth, the freshness is accentuated by the slightly sparkling gaseous taste, while it is accompanied by the clean, refreshing taste that is typical of Gohyakumangoku. The clear sake has a moderate sweetness and gentle acidity. A hint of bitterness tightens the flavor and keeps it clean and cohesive until the end. It is not too flashy, but the more you drink it, the more addictive it becomes. This is a juicy, light new sake directly drawn from the bottle that is full of Machida's "character. This freshness can only be enjoyed now, and we hope you will enjoy this bottle chilled.

As the label of cherry blossoms dancing on a white background suggests, this bottle has a fluffy, gorgeous, and clean taste. The fruit nuances are understated, but gently fragrant like a spring breeze. It has a slight hint of banana and a hint of melon. In the mouth, it has a smoothness typical of Hakurakusei. It has a slightly thicker flavor, as if it were intended for in-flight drinking, with a "core that will not be defeated by atmospheric pressure". After passing through the throat, a slight astringency appears, like the lingering taste of cherry blossoms, fleeting but sure to linger. This sake was a new aspect of Hakurakusei's springtime style, with all three elements of gorgeousness, gracefulness, and gentleness.

I was attracted to the blue label 🩵. When poured into a glass, it has a white hazy liquid color, typical of nigori sake. The aroma of citrus fruits, like fresh grapefruit, is faintly present. The fresh and lush aroma makes you smile. In the mouth, the mellow nigori-like mouthfeel is complemented by the refreshing acidity characteristic of comets, which tightens the overall impression. Although it is rich, it is not heavy, but rather smooth. The mouthfeel is thick, but the aftertaste is refreshing. It is a bottle that embodies one of the ideals of nigori nama-zake: dark yet refreshing. Even those who do not like nigori should give it a try; it has a refined balance.

The moment it is poured into a glass, a gentle fruity aroma like ripe melon or mango spreads, and that alone is enough to raise expectations for this handsome wine. When you put it in your mouth, it has a mild sweetness that gradually spreads on your tongue. The acidity that adds a sharp outline to the wine is well balanced, giving it a full and clear impression. Anyway, the acidity is beautiful. It is not too assertive, but it has a core presence, and it seems to bring the entire flavor together. It has the transparency and gentleness that is typical of Koueikiku, but it also has an impression of going one step deeper than that, giving the impression that "this is how it's supposed to be! If I were to pair it with food, I would rather pair it with cured ham, cheese, or dishes with a bit of spice than with gentle Japanese cuisine. As the name suggests, this wine leaves a lingering aftertaste that quietly but firmly fills you up.

A special version made with brewer's yeast and directly pumped.

The aftertaste is clean and light, with a pleasant sense of balance that does not tire the drinker. HY2's character gently accompanies HIRAN's "juicy and crisp" style. It is refreshing and a little bit special.

The aroma was soft and refreshing, reminiscent of green apple, pear, and a hint of peach.

A modern form of Junmai sake from the "young Toichi.

A gentle, dignified springtime black dragon that gently accompanies the budding season. This Junmai Daiginjo is made from "Ginpu" sake rice produced in Hokkaido and carefully polished to 50%. This seasonal sake is only available at this time of year. The aroma is subdued and calm, with fruity nuances of banana, green apple, and melon. The aroma is not overly floral, but rather elegant and quiet. In the mouth, it is light and smooth. The sweetness is mild, and the crispness is easily felt. The mellowness is accented by a slight bitterness, and the more you drink, the more you will feel that this is a typical Kuroryu. It is delicate, has a core, and is gentle at the same time. This sake has such an appearance. The green color of the label reminded me of a mountain landscape in spring when new buds appear. I would like to enjoy this sake slowly with tempura of spring vegetables and white meat fish, feeling the season.

This is the quintessence of "Omachi x Kaze no Mori". The strength of 80% polished rice and the suppleness of mid-polishing are exquisitely matched in this bottle. The aroma is fresh, with hints of white peach, green banana, and muscat. In the mouth, the fresh gasiness typical of Kaze no Mori is accompanied by the full flavor of Omachi. The sweetness and acidity are well balanced, and while it is three-dimensional and voluptuous, it is also light enough not to tire one's palate. Above all, it has a nice sharpness! The second half of the bottle quickly recedes to reset the palate, so you can easily go on to the next one. The softness of the mid-palate and the deep flavor of Omachi. This exquisite balance is addictive...!

This is the second in the "kasu" series. This drink, made from wine pomace, gives a more subdued impression than the "lemonade. The color is a little deeper and the aroma is mellow. It has a slightly adult atmosphere, with a slight aroma of red grapes and cherries. In the mouth, there is a gentle sweetness of rice. The wine-derived acidity and a slight astringency combine to give it a deep flavor. The "wine aspect" and the "warmth of sake" are mixed together just right, It is not one or the other, but a strange and pleasant balance. The "sansho lemonade," with its bright burst of cardamom and sansho (Japanese pepper), is a perfect match for the "sansho" wine. If "sansho lemonade" is like "morning light" that refreshes you with its aroma of spice and lemon, "marc" is like the evening glow of dusk, marc" is a "quiet aftertaste" that makes you want to sip it quietly on the terrace at dusk. It is interesting to note that even the same "kasu" has a completely different character. It is hard to believe that both were created from "materials that were originally discarded, They were both full of discovery and deliciousness that is typical of haccoba.

You would never guess from the name "Kasu". But that is why it was such a shining sake. The sake is made from the lees of "Sansho Lemonade" produced by TANIGAKI restaurant in Tajima, Hyogo. In the past, this would have been treated as "something that has already served its purpose," but now it is being brought back to life once again. This is a bottle that is packed with haccoba's unique ideas and the potential of sake lees. The vivid aroma of green cardamom spreads as soon as you drink it. Nuances of lemon peel and Asakura pepper are combined with the acidity from the koji, and a freshness quickly spreads through the bottle. It is more like an aromatic drink than a sake. It can be enjoyed chilled, warmed, or on the rocks. It can be enjoyed in any style, which is also a characteristic of this sake. A new standard born from "kasu" (sake lees). It has a light, dignified taste that overturns the image of its name.

Noto Dakei x Tengumai Shintaro Sakurada, who is only 20 years old, and the young brewers of Tengumai joined hands to create this bottle, hoping for the revival of Sakurada Shuzo, a brewery in Noto that was hit by the disaster. Proceeds from the sale of the bottle will be used to support reconstruction efforts, so you can send a cheer by drinking it. The aroma of this sake is slightly refreshing.

What we can do now to create the future" - this thought was quietly conveyed to us. This sake quietly conveys that sentiment.
