Kame-no-o Polishing 50%.
Fruity flavor. It has a unique aroma that lingers in the nose. Personally, I prefer "Hiran Nikomaru Queen" because I drank unfiltered raw sake one after the other.
Yamadanishiki 20%, 60% polished rice
Nikomaru 80%, 25% polished rice
This is an unfiltered, unfiltered, raw sake, and you can really taste the umami and sweetness of the rice. The moderate gasiness combined with the apple-like flavor makes it easy to drink, JoOusama!
Akaban Omachi 50% polished rice
A limited edition that is only released in years when the customer is satisfied with the quality. The palate is clean with a gentle sweetness. Yet it has a crisp aftertaste.
It is said that it is recommended to be aged for a long time, but I couldn't resist and opened it here. If I can get another bottle, I would like to age it.
At my parents' house for New Year's.
This is...peculiar!
It tastes exactly like a Shine Muscat. It's not sweet, but this is almost like a dessert wine anymore. I thought it was amazing that sake could remove so much of the sake feeling. A sake to remember.
Ulla-la-la-la-la-la-la.
This was the last sake I chose for 2024.
Kame-no-o Polishing 40%.
The sweet, sour, and fruity aroma spreads to the palate from the slightly carbonated, tingling texture. It has some quirks, but I like it.
It was a good end to the year.

Yamadanishiki, 35% polished rice
This is a seriously good wine! It has a sweet taste on the palate, but the rice flavor slowly comes out towards the end. It has a little bit of a quirk, but the taste is deep. I really want to drink this again.
The transition from sweetness to rice flavor is sophisticated. I don't know if I'm expressing it correctly.

Yamadanishiki, 38% polished rice
Mild on the palate, with a sweet but clean and smart aftertaste. It has almost no habits, but it has a refreshing, clean feeling on the nose. Definitely delicious.
I got a hard-to-find sake and drank it at home.
It is totally different from Māka! It has no habits at all and has a very beautiful taste. Personally, I like Māka so much that I deify it too much. It is the tastiest and cleanest sake I have ever tasted.
Hyogo Tokushu A Yamadanishiki, 29% polished rice
Gentle on the palate, refreshing, fruity, and beautiful. It has no strong character or personality, making it ideal as a food sake. It is extremely tasty.
