I saw it on the line at Aeon Liquor and thought, oh, CEL yeast? I thought, and picked it up. I learned that CEL is a Kochi yeast that produces high levels of ethyl caproate...but I've never had it...I thought. So I bought it. Crystal silver in color with a hint of yellow. There is a gorgeous aroma of ethyl caproate, and a rich aroma of fruits such as honey apple, Japanese pear, white peach, and muscat. There are nuances of greens such as chervil and well-polished rice nuances of Kamishinko and Shiratama-dango (white dumpling). In the mouth, there is a mild sweetness, but the acidity is also nicely present and cuts through the sweetness. There may be a hint of carbonation (?). There may also be a hint of carbonation. The aftertaste is pleasantly bitter with a full-bodied bitterness, and the finish is bitter. I have the impression (or is it just an assumption?) that ethyl caproate will go away if it is left to stand. I had the impression that ethyl caproate-based beverages would not rise in the fall, but this one seemed to rise beautifully. Although it has a gorgeous aroma, it has a calming taste and is not bad as a food sake. The alcohol content is not too high at 15%, and it has a good balance. I think I will buy another bottle.

This may be the first time I've had hiyaoroshi from Kuroryu. This time of year, there are so many delicious hiyaoroshi that it is worth drinking (?). It's worth drinking!

The brewer Kuheiji is still delicious. The restaurant did not serve it for a while because they thought it was too bland, but now they are serving it again because it is still delicious... (laughs)

This is the first sake I have ever had. It was served in a wine glass from here. This one also has a ginjo aroma, which is mainly isoamyl acetate.

Tatenogawa hiyaoroshi. The ginjo aroma, which is mainly isoamyl acetate, comes out beautifully, and the sweetness and acidity are well balanced.

This time of year, I still want to drink hiyayogoshi! Crystal silver in color with a sense of transparency. Elegant rice aroma of Japanese pear with a hint of grapefruit and other citrus fruits, yogurt, koshinko and shiratama dango (white bean dumpling). Gentle green like selfeil. The mouthfeel is strong. The impression is that the alcohol is quite gusty, with little residual sugar, but there is sweetness from the alcohol and a strong attack. The acidity is firm and gives a sense of structure, and there is a full-bodied bitterness in the aftertaste. It has a nice hiyaoshi character.

Back to basics (?) and packaged sake. It comes up often at the Sommelier Association's seminars, and you will notice the high level of quality when you drink it blind. This "Tsuki" is the first time I have had it. Clear crystal silver color. Gentle fruit aroma like Japanese citrus, cooked rice, yogurt, a hint of green tone of selfeil and lime. The mouthfeel is gentle. Soft sweetness, acidity is gentle and mild, leaving a hint of bitterness in the aftertaste, while the acidity comes up and gives a weak but sharp taste. There is nothing outstanding, and the image is that of a sake that is closer to the classics, but the balance is excellent and you will never get tired of drinking it. You can sense the power of a major sake brewer.

It's been quite a while since I posted... Not that I hadn't been drinking, but because I didn't take a picture of the bottle. Crystal silver color with green tones. Fruits reminiscent of apples, pears and white peaches, chervil and cedar. Nuances of polished rice like white dumplings. There is a hint of sweetness, but it is mainly flavor sweetness, less sweet as a taste, and the acidity stands up and pushes the sweetness away, giving it a dry impression. There is a pleasant slightly strong bitterness in the aftertaste, and it seems to be good as a food sake. It is quite delicious.

Transparent crystal silver hue. Plenty of fruit, mainly apple and pear, melon, and a hint of banana. Sweet green nuances of chervil, and fresh powder. The wine has a sweet taste, but is sharp with a firm acidity. Full-bodied bitterness in the aftertaste. Very clear taste. My own favorite flavor.

Crystal silver color, with a blue reflection. Plenty of fruit ginjo aromas of apples, pears, melon, bananas. Kamishinko, white dumplings, and lime. Mellow sweetness and dense acidity, with a pleasant bitterness and a clean finish that retains the sweetness. I thought it tasted like a typical Fukushima ginjo-shu!

As the name suggests, it is dry. Dry without sweetness, with a firm acidity. It is not like Yamada-Nishiki. It is a refreshing drink, so it might be good for the first cup or as a finish. So we had it to finish!

It has been a long time since I have had Nabeshima. It has a good balance of fruit aroma, pleasant sweetness, and acidity. I think it is an excellent sake.

I decided to try Tobiroki for the first time in a while. I compared it with Junmai Ginjo and thought that since they are both made by the same company, the base flavor is the same. It has aromas of apple, melon, and a hint of banana, and both ethyl caproate and isoamyl acetate are present in a nice way.

I asked for a stag beetle, now I want a beetle (laughs). Aromas of pineapple and grapefruit. Characteristic taste like pineapple dissolved in clean water, dry and firm acidity.

I was curious about the name "giant stag beetle" and ordered it. I was asked "Do you taste like a stag beetle? I have never eaten a stag beetle (laugh). The color is a crystal silver with a sense of transparency. Apple, melon, a hint of banana, chervil, and joshin powder. There is a rich aroma of fruit, and perhaps insects are attracted to it because it looks so delicious? (Laughs) Pleasant sweetness and clean, extended acidity. Delicious.

Clear crystal hue. Fruit aromas of apple, pear, melon, and a hint of banana, with a hint of chervil and top-fruit. Pleasantly sweet, with smooth acidity and a slight bitterness in the finish. It has been a long time since I had a sip, but it is delicious!
