One more Onogawa. Little devil label. Slightly banana and pear type aroma. Sukkiri. Gentle and smooth on the palate. The color is slightly yellow. The next day it tastes better. It is dry, but it has umami and sweetness, and is easy to drink, so is it a little devil?

The pelican label was the reason I got to know Onogawa. At the time, there was only one bottle left, so I passed on it, but now I see it again~! The color is very yellow! The label doesn't say, but it is an unfiltered sake. The aroma is subdued. Junmai! It has a "Junmai" feeling. More rice flavor than fruity. It is light and dry. It blends well with food when drunk while eating. It's like a "food sake".

I'm uploading a new sake I had in February now 😅. The aroma is yogurt and cheese type acidity and faintly nutty. The aroma is yogurt or cheese-like acidity with a hint of nuttiness. Freshness that only new sake can have. After some time, the aroma also has a lychee or pear-like feel to it, with a bitter aftertaste.

I bought this at the end of the year as a collaboration between KOIKEYA and Drunken Whale. As if by chance, an advertisement for KOIKEYA came across my inbox, and I immediately snapped it up 🤪. The sake has a slightly sweet aroma when you open it. It doesn't last long. The aroma became more pronounced after some time had passed. Sweet & sour like soda. It has a clear, refreshing acidity and spiciness. There may be a little bit of nigorigo. The Potatoes have a bitter taste with yuzu and sakataki, and are thick and punchy. When eaten together, the light flavor of the sake stands out. The sake alone may be a little too light, and the potato chips may taste a little strong when eaten by themselves, but when combined with the sake, they come together nicely. As one would expect from KOIKEYA👍.

The aroma is cream soda type, but it also has a strong alcohol taste, probably because it has 17% alcohol content. Acid + bitterness + a little astringency. Little sweetness. There is a little gas. When I drank Tianqing before, I had an impression that it was more umami because it was a future sake... But it seems to have sweetness when exposed to air. As expected, the flavor increased the next day. Ah, it was orikara! I mixed it with orikara and it got more umami.

I didn't have the energy to go to my favorite liquor store, so I went to a nearby Ricaman and the only sake they had was comet 😅. They had a huge variety. The label doesn't say, but I'm pretty sure I chose the one made with Hachitan-nishiki... A little yellow. Like sweet rice. Not too acidic, refreshing and light. But it is thick.

Long time no see, Mr. Machida. It is directly pumped from Gohyakumangoku. The sweet & sour aroma is like cream soda. There is still some gas and it is slightly cloudy. Aroma of oli. The sweetness comes first, then there is a bitter taste and it is crisp and refreshing. It is like a bitter cream soda with a bit of lychee and pear added.

It's hiyaoroshi, but the one I got from my parents' house at the end of the year. I haven't had much sake from Hiroshima. This may be the first time I've had a long drink of it. It has a sweet pear-like aroma. It tastes sweet, too. But it also has a sharp and refreshing acidity. The aftertaste is clean and has a good bitterness. The taste does not change much even after a few days. The aroma and the sweetness lasts. Yummmm 😍!

It has been a while since I last saw Houou Mita. It uses rice called "Yume Sarara" grown with water from Nikko. It has a nice aroma, but it is more alcohole than the impression of the aroma. Maybe it is because the alcohol content is high at 16 to 17 degrees Celsius. It is refreshingly spicy with sweetness and acidity. It has a thickening effect, but it is light. The next day. The aroma is mild and banana-like, and the taste is mellow.

Junmai Ginjo of Suzukagawa from Saku no Kura. Sweet and sour aroma like calpis. The first sip is sweet and mild, like pear or banana. The aftertaste is sweet, but the acidity is like that of calpis. The next day. The aroma is more banana-like.

This one is also from Hokkaido. An ordinary Junmai Daiginjo. Lychee, pear, strong aroma. Nice aroma. ❤️ The first sip is sweet! The taste is also strong. But it quickly recedes and the spiciness and bitterness come in. Yum! A little gassy? A nice tingle on the tip of the tongue. Next day, the good aroma continues. The sweetness rounds out and the pungency is well balanced. Yum 😋.

This is another one I brought back from Hokkaido. The aroma is slightly elegant pear. Yum! ❤️ The acidity is more effective than I expected. Well-balanced dry taste. It has umami, but it's still refreshing. It's a little gassy, but it's still very fresh. The aroma is more like a later one. Banana and pear flavors come out, but the mouthfeel is clean.

I drank this during the year-end and New Year's holidays. When I went to Hokkaido in September, I went to Midorigaoka warehouse in Kamikawa-cho. I didn't have a chance to go there very often, so I brought back a bottle of expensive Junmai Daiginjo Shizukutori. When I opened it, it just smelled so good. Bananas, pears, sweet cream. Maybe a little cloudy. The first sip is sweet! But the aftertaste is clean and refreshing. There is no cloying taste, and the impression is clean. I think it's a little gassy. Yum! ❤️❤️ I drank half of it in my usual Riedel Daiginjo glass and took the rest to my parents' house. I drank it with a small sake cup while eating sukiyaki, and the impact of the first sip was not so much sweetness. It felt clear, clean and dry. The first sip of the wine changes depending on the snack and the glass. But the nice aroma lasts for a long time. It was so good 😍.

It says to be careful when opening the bottle, but it opened just fine. There is a little gas left. It is sweet! The sweetest I've had this year. Melon! Melon juice! The aftertaste is sweet too. It's good, but I wish it was a little less sweet. After a week or so, the noticeable sweetness has subsided.

Hosted by Otokoyama Shuzo. Aiming for traditional dry taste. The aroma is of yogurt or cheese. The color is quite yellow. Basically, it is dry with acidity, but it also has a strong umami and sweetness, so it is more umami than what I would consider traditional dry. After a week, the aroma became more banana-like and the flavor increased. The image of the taste has changed. Is it because my cold is gone?

I had this one in September, too, but I got in line with Fuyu. The host is Kojima So Honten. They use more koji as in the past. The aroma is rather acidic and yogurt-like. There is little sweetness. The taste is strong. I thought that more koji would increase the sweetness, but it has a strong acidity and umami. It is dry with umami. The sweetness and thickening comes the next day.
