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 an easygoing and enjoyable film that will allow you to relax and relax. This junmai ginjo-shu is made from Yamadanishiki and Ginbuki, both grown in Ryuoh Town, Shiga, and carefully handcrafted in the manner typical of Matsunozushi. The alcohol content is slightly low and the aroma is mild. It has a gentle aroma with a hint of ripe fruit, and is impressive for its smooth mouthfeel. The soft sweetness and umami of the rice spread gradually on the tongue, with a beautiful lingering aftertaste that seems to fade away quickly at the end. It can be enjoyed cold or warmed, and has a well-balanced flavor that is perfect to accompany a meal. As the name suggests, the flavor is "easygoing and enjoyable" and will accompany you at your table every day. It is not glamorous, but gentle and reassuring. It is a classic of Matsu-no-ji that you will never get tired of drinking and will want to pick it up again and again.

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 is not flashy, but it has a solid core, and the more you drink it, the more its goodness oozes out. The koji rice is Yamadanishiki and the kake rice is Yumenokou. It is a summer 寫樂 with the freshness and transparency of a light nigori sake. It is also an excellent food sake, a bottle that will gently accompany you during a peaceful time of the day. It has a freshness that makes it hard to believe it is fire-aged, and a carefully designed lightness in the aftertaste. It has a quiet tone with a definite presence, making us think, "This is 寫樂 after all.

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.

The aroma is quiet and calm for a YAMORI, and the moment you take a sip, you can feel the chili pepper and the slight bubbles spreading in your mouth. The quiet burst and the quick, clean flow of the bubbles are simply beautiful. The juiciness that is typical of Yamori is maintained, but the summery freshness shines through. The balance between the voluminous umami and cool acidity is exquisite. It also has sweetness, but the overall impression is surprisingly dry. It is easy to drink, and the sake goes down the drain. The blue bottle is also cool, and the delicate, sparkling aftertaste lingers in the mind until the end. It is easy to drink, even though it has a strong gaseous taste.

The moment you drink it, you quietly think, "Oh, this is a delicious sake. It is a beautiful blend of the gentleness that is typical of Aozora and the strength that is typical of Omachi, It is not flashy, but it has a strong presence. The aroma is gentle, elegant, and sweet, reminiscent of white peaches. The palate is silky and smooth, and the umami spreads as if it were melting into the mouth. It is well-balanced with a gradual resonance of acidity, and a lingering aftertaste lingers on after swallowing. Aozora usually finishes its wines lightly by adding water, However, this Omachi is specially made as "unfiltered raw sake" and has a core flavor. It has strength in its lightness and is well-balanced, making me want to say, "This is Japanese sake. It can be served cold or lukewarm. It is amazing that it tastes good at any temperature.

I never thought that Ippakusuisei would produce a kijoshu...! I was excited when I saw the name, and even more surprised when I tried it. This is truly an "unpredictable" sake. Named after the golf term "Moving Saturday," it is a sake that is rough (?) in a good sense, just like a Saturday when the score is moving around a lot. It is a sake that is rough in a good way, just like a Saturday when the score is very high. The sweetness comes with a bang, but there is something beautiful and light about it! It has a sweetness that comes with a bang, yet it is somehow clean and light. In the mouth, the smooth texture and gorgeous sweetness spreads at once, and at the end, the firm acidity, typical of kijozo sake, tightens the whole. The raw material is Miso Nishiki from Akita Prefecture, and the rice polishing ratio is 50%. The luxurious setting is typical of kijoshu, but it is also playful and fun, making you think, "What? It is a super sweet sake, but it is also saturated. It is super sweet, but it is well-balanced enough to be enjoyed all the way through without getting tired of it. The brewer's enjoyment of taking on a challenge was evident, and it was an exciting drink to sip!

This is a summer sake with an exquisite balance between a tropical fruit-like aroma and a beautiful sharpness! It has a sweet aroma like pineapple or lychee, but once in the mouth, the light umami and light spiciness spread out, and it finishes cool and refreshing. It is a refreshing and elegant bottle that I would like to call "the definitive fruity dry summer sake. The aroma and flavor become more full when the temperature rises a little. It would be great with refreshing side dishes such as chilled shabu-shabu (cold shabu-shabu), shio-tataki (bonito with salt), marinated summer vegetables, and so on. The beautiful Japanese-style Nishikigoi label is also cool and adds a seasonal touch just by serving it on the table! This is a bottle that can be enjoyed either in a cold sake glass or a wine glass and should become a summer staple.

A sake that is too free to try, encountered at Craft Sake Week. It was a bottle full of surprise and fun. It was a bottle full of surprise and fun. The aroma is grapefruit, lemongrass, and a hint of lychee. It is refreshing, like a white wine or IPA, and when you put it in your mouth, the aroma of hops spreads softly over the sweet rice flavor. The bitterness of the hops is quite gently suppressed, and the "lightness that is typical of Masamune" takes center stage. The low alcohol content (12%) makes it easy to drink, but the lingering crisp lemon-like freshness is pleasant. I was told that this is a test brew using C-type hops (Centennial and Cascade), It was such an exciting taste that I could see a new saké future. It made me think, "This is what craft saké is all about!" This is what craft saké is all about!

It was so good, I couldn't help but have another. It was refreshing, but not just light. It was just the right balance to make me naturally want to drink it again. When you put it in your mouth, the soft sweetness and gentle acidity spread quickly, and it disappears smoothly down your throat like light snow. However, there is a slight bitterness and astringency in the aftertaste, and that is what I feel is typical of Yukino Kayasha. It is well balanced, yet has depth. It has such a mysterious charm. The fact that it is a fire-aged sake that retains its freshness is also very good, and the finish gives it a freshness that is similar to that of a fresh sake. If you ask me, "What kind of sake is Snow Kayasha? I would recommend this one first...it was such a royal road junmai ginjo.

There were almost no photos from 4/29💦. There should be a lot of 28~! I picked up this bottle because of the name "Snow Goddess". It is a junmai daiginjo produced by Dewazakura, which has been polished to 35% Yuki-No-Majin. The word "supreme" is a perfect description of this sake, which is both beautiful and delicate. When poured into a glass, a subdued and elegant aroma rose up. In the mouth, a gentle umami flavor spreads softly from the clean, clear mouthfeel. It is not flashy, but it is very smooth and has a beautiful lingering aftertaste. It gives the impression of a quiet and peaceful mind after drinking. I felt that this sake was the reason why Yamagata is called the "Ginjo Kingdom. The suppleness and core charm of the carefully nurtured "Snow Goddess" sake rice was carefully expressed with the elegance typical of Dewazakura.

There was a picture! 💦 This is a very special bottle that you can rarely find. It is a junmai daiginjo brewed to be entered in a national sake competition, and bottled with only a small amount of "shizuku" (drop) collected by bag suspension. As the name suggests, this sake was truly worthy of the "Ohtori" celebration. When you put the glass close to the bottle, the gorgeous aroma spreads out in a flurry. It was beautiful, reminiscent of white flowers or ripe fruit, and the aroma alone was enough to make me happy. The mouthfeel is soft and transparent, and the umami that spreads from there is mellow and delicate. It finishes with a smooth and elegant aftertaste. The top-grade Yamada-Nishiki from Hyogo Prefecture is polished to 35%. This is the pinnacle of Hououmida, with its materials and techniques polished to the utmost. It is a perfect gift and a perfect "personal favorite," a true gem of a bottle.

It was great to see the chairman for the first time in about a year! I was looking forward to this event since it was a pre-sale, and it did not disappoint. The aroma was softly fruity and elegant. When I took a sip, the delicious taste of rice gradually spread out, and I couldn't help but murmur in my mind, "This is definitely the one! I couldn't help but murmur in my mind, "It's a sure thing! I felt that the sake has been further refined since the replacement, and I sensed the underlying strength of Aizu sake. Among the Genzai series with the theme of "brewing Aizu, This "Tokujo" is gentle and clean, with a taste that easily permeates the body.

I was a sake taster staff again this year, but I didn't drink much 💦. I don't remember because I didn't take any pictures 💦. BLUE PHOENIX", which we met at last year's CRAFT SAKE WEEK, has been powered up over the past year! The sparkling ver., which can be called the second chapter, was a bottle that delivered the charm of rare sake rice "Aizan" in a shwarmingly elegant way. The moment it was poured into the glass, a sweet and full aroma rose along with the bubbles. The mouthfeel is soft and the acidity is strong. In the bubbly rhythm of the bubbles, the depth and gentleness typical of Aizan can be clearly felt, and the lingering aftertaste that slowly unfolds is truly luxurious. Starting with a cold sip, I enjoyed the gradual change in flavor as the temperature of the wine changed, The gap between "sparkling and deep" is also very appealing. It is a perfect toast for celebrations or as a reward for yourself.

This year, too, a bottle as light as the "wind" arrived from a small brewery in Katsuura. As the name suggests, it has a pleasantly clear and refreshing taste, like a summer breeze blowing through the air from the moment you hold the glass in your hand. The aroma is soft and elegant, with a freshness like that of pears and white flowers. The acidity, which is unique to the sake's "ikuhashimoto" brewing method, is at the core, and the balance between the gentle sweetness and sharpness is exquisite. It also has a bubbly feeling that can only be achieved by direct bottling, and the gas that bursts with energy helps to reset your mind. While it has the quiet and beautiful outline typical of Narumi, this year's finish gives it a greater sense of depth. It is not simply a "summer sake," but a bottle that conveys the brewer's care and will.

It is softly cool and slightly hazy, with a gentle nigori. The first sip is a slightly gaseous, bubbly sensation and a refreshing aroma. The first sip is soft on the palate with a refreshing aroma and a slight effervescence. The first sip is soft on the palate and refreshing on the throat, but there is a core of umami that is typical of "Oku" sake. It is not flashy, but the more you drink it, the more the umami and mellowness that swells up softly are pleasant, and it goes very well with meals. It is a perfect "early summer drink. All of the rice used for this sake is "Yumesansui," grown locally in Okumikawa under contract. Polishing and pressing are carefully adjusted to bring out the full flavor of the rice, and you can sense the down-to-earth and careful craftsmanship of the brewery. It is cool and refreshing, but not too light. It is a summer light nigori that quietly and gradually lingers in the mind. It is a bottle to be enjoyed slowly and chilled.

As a GANKI promoter, I recommend this bottle with all my might. This unfiltered, unpasteurized sake is "alive" because it is bottled as it is pressed. In the mouth, the green apple-like aroma spreads softly, and the transparent mouthfeel is followed by mellow umami, light acidity, and a slight bitterness that come together three-dimensionally. One sip and you are hooked, and before you know it, you can't stop yourself from having "one more cup". What is especially wonderful is the beauty of the lingering aftertaste. Even after swallowing, the aroma lingers gently, as if it is being spoken to you. It is a sake that resonates with the soul, and is the true essence of GANKI.
