The bright fruity aroma of muscat-like fruit rises softly, and when you take it into your mouth, the deep umami flavor spreads quietly along with the dignified dry outline of the taste. It is such a sake. Ise-nishiki" is the mother of "Yamada-nishiki," the rice associated with the Ise Jingu Shrine and the mother of "Ise-nishiki.

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. HIRAN HY2, a CSW limited edition, is impressive for its mellowness derived from Nikkomaru and the natural sweetness and acidity from the brewer's yeast. The freshness is enhanced by a gentle gassiness, and the bittersweet grapefruit-like fruitiness spreads softly in the mouth. The mouthfeel is very smooth. 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.

It was a bottle that would easily fit in as a toast or during a meal, and would lift one's spirits.

The aroma was soft and refreshing, reminiscent of green apple, pear, and a hint of peach. In the mouth, a touch of bubbles and a gentle sweetness and sourness spread out, truly tickling all five senses.

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

The cool label of this summer Kuroryu, inspired by the flow of the Kuzuryu River in early summer, is impressive.

Both "Ginpu" (spring) and "Gohyakumangoku" (summer) have the refinement typical of Kuroryu, Both of them are elegant like Kuroryu, but their taste vectors are distinctly different. Ginkaze" has a soft and gentle impression reminiscent of spring. The slightly sweet, round and gentle taste continues gently. Gohyakumangoku, on the other hand, tastes fresh and smart.

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. In the mouth, the fresh, youthful flavor spreads, and the soft sweetness and acidity are in gentle harmony. The calmness of Tengumai and the core flavor of Da Kei blend together in a well-balanced manner, making it easy to drink but leaving a lasting impression. What we can do now to create the future" - this thought was quietly conveyed to us. This sake quietly conveys that sentiment.

First of all, I was surprised at the sizzling, slightly carbonated bubbles in my mouth. The bubbles are finer and gentler than I had imagined. It is not carbonation, but rather a sensation as if air bubbles are popping. The aroma is mild, but it has a slight impression of La France and white flowers. The taste is light, but not thin. It has a pleasant sharpness that quickly fades away. The acidity is just right, and it balances the overall taste nicely. The lingering aftertaste is clean and leaves a sense of clarity after swallowing. I was deeply impressed by the fact that this is exactly the kind of sake that "I can drink as many cups as I want". It has a special feeling, but at the same time it is gentle and relaxing, It was a bottle that made me glad to have had it at CSW.

This is "the future of tradition. This is the challenge named "Zero" to be passed on to the next generation, based on the foundation of "Yamahai brewing," the starting point of Tengumai. It is impressive that the tengu on the label hides its face, It seems to speak to the drinker with such a message as "Only those who drink it will see its true face. The specifications are undisclosed. But that is why it reaches the drinker's senses. The aroma is subdued and quiet. The first sip is surprisingly soft, The sweetness and umami spread gradually and disappear gently. The "ZERO-like" refreshing acidity follows, bringing the whole thing together. The overall impression is delicate, despite the firm outline of the Yamahai style. The lack of hookiness is at a dangerous level. Even if you think, "Let's drink slowly," you will find yourself sipping the sake. It is a bottle with a quiet awesomeness where "gentleness" and "depth" coexist. This sake was brewed by Tengumai, which has a 200-year history, with the intention of starting from "zero" once again. While respecting tradition, the young brewer's attitude toward the challenges of the future is evident in the taste. The name "Zero" seems to be a starting point for the future.

This is already "pure green Oumachi. The aroma of fruits reminiscent of Muscat and berries rises in the mouth, and the palate is surprisingly clear and light. In the mouth, it is surprisingly clear and light, with a powerful umami and juicy core that only Omachi can deliver. It is light and clear, yet has a full flavor. The lingering aftertaste is clean and crisp, and the impression is as if a breeze is blowing through the mouth. It was truly a "challenging" bottle that is typical of JAM SESSION. It has both Omachi-like character and lightness. It has a surprise that makes you want to say, "It's quicker to drink it than to explain it in words. I recommend it to those who are looking for a "fruity but not too sweet" sake, a new type of Omachi. This is "FUZZY GREEN," and it was a refreshing experience that truly fits the name.

Here is the last one for today! The moment you approach the glass, you can sense the calm ginjo aroma. The aroma is not too assertive, but it is a gentle yet elegant aroma that makes even the pause before the first sip pleasant. In the mouth, there is a mildness that is typical of light nigori, and soft, sweet overtones like melon and pear. Then, a lovely sourness like cherries spreads softly, and it finishes off smoothly. The sweetness, umami, and acidity are in perfect harmony, and the overall impression is simply "beautiful.

It has a freshness that makes it hard to believe it is fire-aged, and a carefully designed lightness in the aftertaste.

This is a bottle that will change your image of "light". Despite the surprising lightness of the 10.5% alcohol content, the first sip of this wine made me say, "Yum...! I could not help but let out a squeal of delight. The aroma is subdued, with gentle nuances of melon, watermelon, and white peach-like fruit. The moment you take a sip, the soft sweetness extends smoothly, and the acidity quietly accompanies it. The aroma spreads like a pleasant summer breeze. And yet, there is a core that is unmistakably Garakudai. It is not too sweet, not too thin, and leaves a lingering aftertaste. It is light, yet satisfying. This exquisite balance is truly a miracle. The greatness of Nanpu also lies in the fact that the brewing itself is a challenge. Even though white malted rice is used, it is not too acidic, and the coexistence of sweetness and sharpness is achieved. It is a hybrid challenge that combines Nichiwa's production method with Hana Akari's knowledge of white koji, It beautifully clears the difficult task of producing a sake with a strength in the 10 degree range. I thought, "This is not just a summer sake, this is the future of Gagakuyo. This is not just any summer sake, this is the future of Gagakuyo. This is definitely a bottle I would like to recommend for this summer.

The aroma is like a rich mix of fruits, which rises up as soon as you put the glass close to it. In addition to white peach, apple, and muscat, there are slight citrus and melon nuances. The layers of aroma are smoothly layered, which cannot be achieved with a single yeast, and the bouquet is as full as a fruit bouquet. It had a fresh and elegant aroma that made me want to keep smelling it. In the mouth, the sweetness spread quickly at first, followed by a light acidity. The freshness that is typical of nama-zake and the umami that makes it so good to drink. The balance between the two is exquisite, and it finishes with a smooth and refreshing finish. The sweetness is present, but overall it is light and does not make you tired of drinking it on a hot day. The impression is that it is a bit on the dry side. The most appealing feature of this "Ni-shiki" is its unique "four-stage evolutionary sake mother" method. The third stage uses Association 18 yeast, which is characterized by its gorgeous aroma, and the fourth stage uses Association 7 yeast, which has a strong vitality. The fourth stage uses AJBA No. 7 yeast, which has a strong vitality. The addition of the moto in a separate brewing process, which is a very time-consuming process, brings out the complexity of the aroma and flavor. This time, some of the koji mold has also been changed, and the freshness created by this change adds a very nice accent.
