The aroma of white wine spreads softly as soon as the glass is tipped. As this impression remains, a gentle sweetness spreads softly in the mouth, followed soon after by a tight acidity. The acidity does not play too much of a leading role, but is balanced by the sweetness, making the drink refreshing and light, just like a fruit wine. Its appeal is even more pronounced when served well chilled. This is a bottle that truly represents "the challenge that is typical of Azumatsuru. The Higashitsuru Brewery, which has been in business for more than 200 years in Taku, Saga, has been rebranding itself since the current brewer, Mr. Komatsu took over, and succeeded in obtaining soft water more suitable for sake brewing by digging a new well 100 meters down. With this water and new facilities, the quality of sake has been refined and the expression of acidity and clarity has been refined. This junmai-shu made with wine yeast is one such challenge. By daring to use wine yeast instead of the usual sake yeast, we were able to achieve a different acidity and aroma from conventional sake. Especially this year, the koji has been finished well, giving the sake an even more translucent appearance. This is a slightly strange, yet very pleasant sake that makes you think, "Sake can be like this. It is recommended for sake beginners.

The fresh aroma of citrus fruits and muscat reminds one of citrus fruits and muscat. Behind the light and transparent aroma, there are gentle and sweet fruit nuances. In the mouth, the wine is light and refreshing, with a cider-like freshness and juicy acidity, and it is very clean until the lingering aftertaste that quickly and comfortably fades away. This sake rice called "Yume Kanae" is a low-glutelin rice developed in Chiba Prefecture. Its low protein content prevents the formation of a cloying taste and makes it easy to achieve a clear sake quality. By carefully developing the method of making koji and the amount used, the sweetness and umami are carefully extracted while the production of amino acids is suppressed, resulting in a delicate and pure flavor. Furthermore, the presence of "4MMP" - an aromatic ingredient that has been attracting attention in recent years and is responsible for the lychee and muscat-like aroma - may also have something to do with this sake's gorgeous aroma. The elegant and juicy aroma produced by this sake seems to embody the light and enjoyable spirit that is typical of modern sake. It can be served chilled and crisp, or slightly warmed to enjoy the fullness of its aroma. We recommend this sake for a wide range of people, from beginners to experienced sake drinkers.

It has a gorgeous, yet calm, atmosphere that does not interfere with the meal, and is recommended as a toast for special occasions.

ROOM" was a luxurious bottle of CSW limited edition, tobin-torikuri, ogara-mi nama-shu, and was one of the most delicate bottles in the series, with a sense of gentleness and depth. When poured into a glass, it had a slightly hazy appearance and an elegant, sweet and sour aroma of green apples and peaches. In the mouth, a slightly bubbly, gaseous sensation bursts forth, and the mildness that only ogara-mi can provide gently spreads over the tongue. The supple quality of the tobin-tori sake is combined with the creamy flavor of ori, giving it roundness and depth of flavor. The addition of a sharp acidity gives the sake a tight and well-balanced flavor. The alcohol is light, with a slight citrusy bitter aftertaste. It is not only gentle, but also has an accent that lingers in the mind. It is easy to drink, yet each sip makes you want to stop. It is such a bottle that is gradually addictive. It has a presence that gently accompanies you when you are alone on weekends. It is a drink with an impressive quiet aftertaste that lives up to its name, ROOM.

The aroma that rises from the bottle is soft and gentle, with a fruity aroma. The elegance of the aroma, which is not too gorgeous, but easily blends into your mind, is impressive. The mouthfeel is gentle and smooth, and the robust umami spreads gradually. After a moderate sweetness, a light astringency and bitterness gently tightens the taste, and a sense of quiet balance pervades the entire wine. Compared to the "Sake Mirai" unpasteurized sake from the same brewery, this one is more subdued and gives a sense of solidity. The aroma is also subdued and does not ruin the aftertaste of the meal, giving the impression of a gentle accompaniment. It is a pleasant sake with a lingering aftertaste that gradually conveys the quality of careful sake brewing, rather than being flashy.

The soft and fluffy mouthfeel is followed by a subdued tone that gradually spreads the umami of the rice. As is typical of CSW limited edition sake, the fresh gassiness of the freshly pressed sake is pleasant and adds a light impression to the flavor. It has a clean and crisp aftertaste, and is a perfect accompaniment to meals. The fullness of the flavor is more vibrant when drunk at a temperature slightly closer to room temperature, and not too cold. It is not flashy, but it is of the "sober flavor" type that seems to seep in gradually. The quiet and sincere taste of this gentle bottle shows the brewery's serious attitude toward sake brewing.

The soft aroma of the first sip is inviting, and the umami of rice spreads softly, with a light and refreshing aftertaste. It has a gorgeous yet calm taste, and the balance between aroma and flavor is so well balanced that it is so easy to drink that you will naturally want another sip. Elegant and friendly are the perfect words to describe this sake. It is brewed by Tohei Shuzo in Kimitsu City, Chiba Prefecture. It is a small brewery in Kururi, Kamiaso, known for its famous water, where a small group of three brothers and sisters carefully brew sake. The "Kururi's famous water" used in the brewing process produces a soft and mellow sake, and the gentleness of the water is clearly expressed in this sake. This signature product of Fukushuku is made from 50% Yamadanishiki from Hyogo Prefecture and brewed slowly with the famous water. It is a bottle that will gently accompany your dining table, yet still have a strong presence. You can enjoy its gentle flavor not only cold, but also at room temperature or lukewarm. The gentle but core flavor made me feel at ease.

This playful bottle was brewed with the image of a sponge cake. Yamada-Nishiki grown in the company's own rice paddies is carefully polished to 35%, fermented slowly using the "sake yeast" method, and then aged in oak barrels. The first thing that rises in the mouth is a slight oaky, rum-raisin-like sweet aroma. This is followed by a soft, rounded sweetness and a beautiful acidity that continues into a deep, yet light and elegant aftertaste. At first, I was a little surprised and thought, "Why would they age rice polished up to 35% in barrels? However, when I actually tried it, I realized that the elegant and soft sweetness, the sponge cake-like aroma, and the fluffy airiness of this sake could only be expressed by this sake. The way the aroma and flavor of the sake blended with the oak was still a little fresh, but it was pleasantly so, and the finish made us want to expect more aging in the future. The label design is nostalgic and cute, reminiscent of the famous sponge cake package. It is a piece where playfulness and tradition coexist. The pairing with the cream puffs served at the event was exquisite, with the richness of the cream and the savory sweetness of the sake melting together in the mouth.

From a sake brewery in Hirado, where the sea spreads out before your eyes, you can feel the "breath of the sea" in this bottle. It is bottled directly from the bottle after being pressed at the CSW only, and the freshness of the freshness is irresistible! The light aroma reminds one of green apples and white grapes, and the refreshing acidity bursts on the palate. The gasiness is exquisite, and the crisp finish is reminiscent of a sea breeze. The light body makes it easy to drink, but the umami of Yamadanishiki can be felt well, and one can sense the skill and passion of the brewery. The balance of aroma and sweetness is good, and lightness and depth coexist in the taste. The concept of sake that reminds one of the sea was perfectly realized in this sake, which was as gentle and pleasant as a spring haze.

When poured into a glass, it has a slightly cloudy milky white color. It has a hint of yellowish color, giving it a soft impression from the outside. The aroma is fresh with bluish muscat and lychee, overlapped by a lactic acid-derived tone that slightly reminds one of yogurt. When you take a sip, the first thing you feel is a burst of acidity. The acidity level is close to 4, which is quite high even for sake. The sharp acidity tightens up the entire taste while the sweet, milky flavor derived from lactic acid bacteria provides a firm support. It has a pleasantly light mouthfeel and moderate sweetness, with a crisp aftertaste designed to prevent fatigue. This exquisite balance of acidity and sweetness can only be achieved by the Flap method, a unique evolution of the Bodai yeast method. By taking advantage of lactic acid bacteria with high proteolytic capacity, the taste is surprisingly clean and free of any unwanted flavors despite the low white matter. The fruity taste of KURAMOTO SE and the sharpness of R1. It gives the impression of a perfect blend of the charms of each, and is one of the most complete in the KURAMOTO series. At 14% alcohol, it is easy to drink and tastes great both chilled and with ice, making it the definitive "sour light nigori.

When poured into a glass, a sweet and gentle fruity aroma reminiscent of white peaches and pears rises softly. The fresh, gaseous aroma, which is typical of unfiltered, freshly brewed wine, is pleasantly crisp and juicy, spreading with the aroma. In the mouth, there is a clear, beautiful sweetness and a hint of soft acidity. It is not too sweet and lightly integrated, so it is nice that it does not become heavy at all even if you continue drinking. There is also a slight bitter aftertaste, which is perfectly balanced with the sweetness. The combination of Ginga Ginga and Giovanni's Research, an Iwate-origin combination, is packed with local charm. Among the Purple Space series, the "gentleness" is especially upfront, and as the name suggests, I felt a warmth that enveloped my whole body. This is the perfect bottle for a spring evening when you want to softly loosen your mind. It was a heartwarming sake that seemed to send a slow, comforting feeling from the brewery in Shiwa-machi. It is the kind of sake you want to keep quietly in your refrigerator.

The first thing that catches your eye the moment you pour it into a glass is its color. It is a beautiful golden color, almost like amber. This color is truly surprising for a freshly brewed sake, not an aged sake. One sip and a rich, mild sweetness reminiscent of molasses, dried persimmons, or ripe dried fruits spreads out slowly. However, the aftertaste is not unpleasant, and it has a sharpness that seems to disappear without a trace. The gap between the two was impressive. Behind the sweetness, there is a firm acidity and umami, which tightens the overall flavor. In fact, this sake is a modern reproduction based on a production method described in the encyclopedia "Wakan sansai zue," an encyclopedia of the Edo period. The sake is made without yeast, lactic acid bacteria, or other additives, and the koji (malted rice) brewing process takes a whopping 72 hours, while the nama-moto (sake mother) brewing process takes nearly a month. With less brewing water, the hard, heavy mash is fermented slowly over a period of two months. It takes a lot of time and effort to even press the sake. Moreover, the only English toji in Japan, Philip Harper, took on this challenge. The fact that he seriously tried to recreate a 300-year-old recipe and ended up with a magical sake that tastes sweet but has a sharp kick... This is a bottle that makes you love the whole background of the sake.

It looks almost transparent with a slight smear of color. However, when you take it into your mouth, the "nigori" (a trickle of nigori) softly adds a mellow nuance. The first impression is a full taste with the umami of the rice. However, it is not too heavy, but rather well-balanced, clear, and elegant. The strength and delicacy of Yamadanishiki from Tojo, Hyogo Prefecture's special A district coexist, with a full-bodied, deep flavor. When you hear the word "ogara-mi," you may imagine it to be sweet, but this one has a slight sweetness with a sharpness that goes through it easily, giving it a pleasant feeling that you will never get tired of drinking it. It has the freshness of a new sake and the core flavor of a chivalrous man. There is nothing flashy about it, but it quietly conveys that it was brewed with care. It is a deeply delicious sake that you will want to enjoy slowly with a meal.

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.

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.
