最近は日本酒の深さを改めて感じてます♪生酒原酒やうす濁酒、山廃作り、発酵が進化する泡物、一回火通し、精米度数、等々体調や心理状態にもより変わるフルーティな味👅を家飲みで、女房の料理で楽しく研究中です。ですが年一回の生産とか限定などの謳い文句に弱く飲み過ぎ、単なる備忘録になってます。皆さんのコメントを参考にしてこれから頑張ります。私なりの飲み感を伝えて行きま〜す。宜しくお願いします🙇

We obtained a bottle of Jikin, which is known as a difficult brand to obtain, at a point of sale. This sake is derived from the words of Dogen, the founder of the Soto sect of Buddhism, "Live this moment carefully," which are written on the label, but they were gone in an instant. The aroma is mellow and fresh, characteristic of Yamada-Nishiki. The aroma is gorgeous and sometimes smells like cooked rice. It is fruity and has a perfect balance of sweetness and acidity. Even when it is a fire-aged sake, it has a freshness like that of a freshly brewed sake. The aftertaste of sweetness is wonderful without getting tired of drinking! The taste is clear and irreplaceable. It was a great moment...delicious 😋.

Yokoyama Goju Junmai Daiginjo Aizan Unfiltered Unrefined Nama Sake is apparently a special sake produced by the Shigeke Shuzo brewery on Iki Island, Nagasaki Prefecture. It is brewed using groundwater from Iki Island and has a fresh, juicy flavor. It has a good balance of sweetness, umami, acidity, and bitterness, and a fruity flavor. Although sweet, it has a sharp impression, and the slight bitterness seems to tighten the overall flavor. It is a good match for any dish, whether Japanese or Western. I was lured to purchase this sake by the label that read "Next Challenge Sake" made by Shigeke Shuzo over a period of five years, taking advantage of the nature and traditions of Iki Island. This is my first sake from Nagasaki Prefecture. A bottle full of charm, this is delicious😋.

The name of this sake, "Utashiro Zuika" is a Japanese word meaning "snowflake," and as stated on the label, the theme of this sake seems to be to enjoy quiet and elegant moments like snowflakes. Personally, I feel that this naming sense makes me want to enjoy its theme and taste yukkyoku. When opened, the aroma is more gentle and subdued than other Gagakuyo. It has a slightly thickened, mildly light sweetness and a slight sourness. It has sweetness, but the aftertaste is refreshing without being overpowering. I think you can spend time with this sake alone as a mealtime sake. Delicious 😋.

This sake is brewed to the standard for sake competitions as a special order sake for Yajima Sake Bespoke. It is recommended to drink at 10-15℃. It is best to drink it at 10 to 15℃, and if it is cold, bring it back to room temperature and let it air dry. It is not only gorgeous but also elegant. The smooth sweetness, lingering taste, and sharpness are perfect. It goes well with standard sashimi and well-seasoned simmered dishes. It has a fresh, gorgeous aroma and pure flavor, perhaps because only the first part of the pressing, which is unique to arabashiri, is used. Its umami, sweetness, and strength are well expressed. It is a high quality special edition sake that is entered in the sake competition, and the fact that it is a special order from a sake store gives it a special feel. In the end, I drank it with light Japanese food, white fish sashimi, and salty dishes to enjoy the delicate flavor of this sake rather than strong flavored food. We planned to drink it slowly while letting it air out, but we drank it at a pace that people said it was already gone. This is delicious 😋.

When I asked the female clerk at the liquor store for a recommendation, she told me that it had recently arrived but in small numbers, so I purchased it. The unique ukiyoe-style label design is eye-catching. The fruity and gorgeous ginjo aroma has a sweet aroma. The mouthfeel is mildly thick and sweet. Overall, it is a high-class sake with a clear flavor with little cloying taste and leaves a powerful impression. It was perfect with sukiyaki. Delicious 😋.

I bought it immediately because it has the perfect visual for this time of year and because it is a Sentori. The aroma is refreshing, reminiscent of juicy sweetness and freshness. The mouthfeel is smooth and creamy, perhaps due to the slight orization. A refreshing acidity spreads in the mouth, and the soft sweetness of light nigori, well-balanced umami, and slight astringency. The last few days have been cold and "Hanakairoe no Nihonshu" is delicious 😋.

I purchased this limited edition from Kangiku, described as a sake that expresses the full flavor of Yamadanishiki and the sharpness of Akaban Omachi. The naming also evokes a warm feeling of wanting to support all people. It has a richness that is typical of nama sake, but the aftertaste is clean. The refined sweetness and sharpness combined with a good balance of richness and delicate acidity. This is the quintessential Kangiku brewery! Delicious 😋.

Koei Kiku Gekko" was purchased with the explanation that it is an excellent variety of sake rice called Hachitan-Nishiki, which is on par with Yamadanishiki and Omachi, the most famous sake rice in Japan. Its freshness stands out immediately after opening the bottle, but as time goes by, the flavor of the sake becomes thicker. I drank it with steamed sea bream and it was fantastic. My first Saga sake 🍶 delicious 😋.

Sake brewed in the hope that it will warmly illuminate the hearts of those who drink it at each moment 🍶 A drop that creates a heartwarming connection! The "Te to Te Te Te to Te" series. You can feel the brewer's enthusiasm just by looking at it. Fresh, unpasteurized sake with a production date of March. The taste is light, yet refined and deep, with a fruity and umami flavor that comes later. Delicious 😋.

This is my first Meikyo Jyunsui. This sake was featured in the manga "Mishinbo". It is a Junmai Daiginjo made from Yamadanishiki and Miyamanishiki polished to 45%. It has a perfect balance of soft umami blended with a moderate fruity sensation on the palate. As the name implies, it has a clear and clean taste with no evil intentions. Delicious😋.

The store recommended it...I bought more after the bill was paid to try it because it was so well balanced and fizzy. Delicious 😋! It's the pinnacle of junmai sake. I hear it will be hard to find from now on, but I understand. If you see it, please try it. ‼️

The bright label and the thin tailing (ori) seem to create the image of melting snow. The fresh aroma is just as the image suggests. It is light on the palate, with just a hint of sweetness and sourness. Even for someone like me, this is a gem of a new spring sake flavor. Delicious 😋 Outside it is snowing ❄️ with the return of cold weather...

It is made from "Momota" rice from Akita Prefecture. The rice polishing ratio is 40% and the sake is brewed with "14 series yeast" as its base. It has a modest yet elegant fruity aroma. The aroma is not too fruity, but calm. The taste is relatively clear and refreshing, with sharp acidity and a moderate sweetness. The acidity tightens the aftertaste and gives it a crisp, clean finish. The taste is as expected of an exhibitor's specifications. It is a gem that retains the atmosphere of a trendy fruity, sweet, easy-drinking sake, but with a sense of depth. Delicious 😋.

It's a little photoshopped👎, but it is Shizuoka's Shoyuki. It is a junmai ginjo made with Aizan, and has a sourness and pear-like aroma. The sweetness and sharpness are well balanced and refreshing down the throat. It can be served with sashimi, of course, but also with Western food. I think it goes especially well with gratin in a glass of wine. Delicious 😋.

This is my first Huayangbao. It has a gorgeous aroma with a strong fruity flavor like pineapple and melon. It is rich, yet smooth on the palate with a good balance of sweetness and acidity. It is easy to see why it is so popular. Even my wife, who does not drink sake, thinks it is a dangerous sake. Delicious 😋.

I heard from the liquor store that they only make this once-a-year light cloudy sake for reservations, so I waited two months and got it today. I heard that this sake is of such high quality that it is even used in Michelin-starred restaurants, so even though I drink it at home, I drink it as if it were a champ. The aroma is fruity, slightly effervescent, and naturally fresh. The sweetness and acidity are well balanced, and the taste is refreshing yet deep. There is no cloying aftertaste, and it can go on forever. Delicious!

This sake is made from rare Aizan. The fresh aroma is as you would expect since it is unfiltered and unpasteurized sake. It has a strong sweet aroma and a firm umami flavor. The acidity also comes later. It leaves a pleasant and refreshing aftertaste. I was convinced when I heard that it is a very highly regarded brand. Delicious 😋.

I couldn't forget the taste of the last delicious OCEAN99 series, and this sake arrived on February 15 from Kangiku Meikozo. It has a wonderful balance of addictive aroma and refreshing flavor. I can see why it is a hot seller among recent home drinkers. It can be enjoyed by itself or with any dish, even sashimi or potato chips. It is ravingly delicious.

It is from the northernmost brewery in Hokkaido, and is a hard-water, clean-tasting sake with a hint of sweetness. It seems to be a special spring limited edition of Kunimare. It has a dark fruity taste of mango and banana somewhere. It is a sake that can be enjoyed slowly over a meal as its flavor increases with temperature.
