Okunokami純米中取り　直汲み　生　ブルーボトル純米吟醸生酒中取り
Toshimaya ShuzoTokyo

mana
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.

IppakusuiseiMoving Saturday純米大吟醸貴醸酒

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.

A bottle that is truly a cross between the passions of "expressionist and brewer". This is the second collaboration sake by dancer Yuta Nakamitsu and young master brewer Ryunosuke Furudate! This year again, Nakamitsu actually entered the brewery and participated in the entire process, from rice washing to pressing. This is a bottle of sake that conveys the message from the bottle, "We are not just lending our name to you. The rice used is "Ginginga," locally grown in Morioka. In the mouth, the clear, supple sweetness that is typical of Akabu spreads gently, By the time it slides down the throat, it has a sharp sharp sharpness and an elegant lingering taste. The aroma is soft and gentle, and even first-timers can easily get used to it. It is a sake that lives up to our wish of "bringing sake to those who are new to the market. The deep lapis lazuli-colored bottle bears the dignified brush strokes of "Nakamitsu" and "AKABU. It is a beauty that should be displayed rather than consumed. It was a soulful collaboration sake, perfect as a gift or as a reward for yourself.

Refreshing and juicy like the summer breeze of Iki Island! A tropical aroma like melon and banana wafts up, and you feel like you are in an everlasting summer mode. The taste is light and refreshing. The fruity sweetness is perfectly balanced with a sourness that spreads slowly and finishes with a crisp finish. The slight bitterness that lingers in the aftertaste is also refreshing and addictive! This is the perfect summer sake for those who are looking for a sake that is "not too sweet, but still has a strong umami flavor. It is also a perfect match for grilled horse mackerel and summer vegetable dip, and if served chilled and served in a wine glass, it is perfect. I would love to drink it on a terrace with a view of the ocean, with the wind blowing in the breeze.

As the name suggests, it was like dreaming. From the moment it was poured into the glass, the aroma of white peaches and flowers spread softly, and I was already entranced.... In the mouth, it was delicate and soft. The gentle and elegant sweetness spreads quickly, then quietly disappears with a clear aftertaste. This is Masumi's top of the line Junmai Daiginjo, with only the best drops from the Fukuro-brewing process collected. Polished to 35% Yamada-Nishiki and carefully brewed with Nanago-Yeast, this sake is truly a bottle worthy of the word "exquisite. It has a dignified dignity amidst its gorgeousness, and is smooth to the last degree. It was the kind of sake that quietly accompanies you on anniversaries and special evenings. Thank you for a beautiful time, worthy of the name "Yumedono".

It is soft and sweet, just like cotton candy. But strangely, the aftertaste is not sticky and goes away smoothly. The sweetness is reminiscent of gentle and lovely Japanese sweets, such as wasanbon or shiratama flour. The soft and fluffy texture, which is typical of glutinous rice, is also pleasant and addictive. The story of how the brand name "Sakuragawa," which was popular in the Taisho era (1912-1926), was revived in the modern age is also fascinating. The name "Shu" comes from the scene of cherry petals flowing down the river. The sake itself seems to be imbued with the same gentle feeling as the scenery.

A "great value for money" long loved by the locals. It has a gorgeous aroma and a refreshing taste. It has a pleasantly elegant sweetness, and the saké goes down smoothly. It has a freshness that is typical of fresh sake, and the sharpness is even more pronounced when it is slightly chilled.

It is a reliable "local friend" filled with the charm of cold sake.

This is already a "Japanese Muscat Sparkling! It has an exquisite balance of light sweetness and a lightness that makes it hard to believe that it has a sake content of minus 8. The bubbles are fun to pop in the mouth due to the presence of naturally fermented gas. The sweetness is subdued, and the aftertaste is surprisingly dry. The clear bitterness and acidity without any clutter give it a sharpness that is truly refreshing. This is a non-sweet sparkling wine that can be confidently recommended to those who prefer a dry taste. It was a very energetic sake, which explains the caution to open the bottle! It is perfect for those who "don't like sweets but want to try a sparkling wine!

As the pink label and name suggest, this bottle is full of gorgeousness. The sweet and elegant aroma invites you in, and the fruity flavor spreads quickly in the mouth. The crisp acidity that follows nicely rounds out the whole package and finishes refreshingly without any lingering sweetness. The gentle sweetness that is typical of Hitogokochi and the richness of the unfiltered flavor are impressive. It is perfect when you are in the mood for an aromatic sake. The pink label is also pretty and looks like a flower blooming on the table.
