The second item of the day.
Aroma of some kind of fruit.
I can't describe it well, but it is like a sweet flower.
The balance of sourness and sweetness is good. As expected of AKABU.
It has a sense of stability.
Late to post, but here's what I drank on 2025/10/16.
Drinking at 48 Fishery Uchisaiwaicho again!
This sake has a smooth mouthfeel, but it tastes crisp after a while. It has a beautiful aroma like a ginjo even though it is junmai sake, and the acidity spreads at the end.
Polishing ratio: Koji rice: Yamadanishiki, Gohyakumangoku (Polishing ratio 50%), Kake rice: General rice (Polishing ratio 60%)
Yeast: Association #7 yeast
My first local Kanagawa Prefecture sake. I bought this after hearing a lot about Kanagawa Prefecture's sake at Mochizuki Shoten.
The label says "Nakazawa Shuzo" instead of Nakazawa Shuzo.
Aside from that, the brewer is said to be the 11th generation.
I felt that they really put a lot of thought into their products.
The malted rice is Yamadanishiki from Okayama! The fact that it was produced in Okayama is a bit interesting. And the kake rice is Miyamanishiki from Nagano!
The first sip is a bit jumpy. Then, it is mellow! The sweetness and acidity are all over the place. In a word, it is like that, but it is really delicious. It has depth and is addictive.
The second day was also good!
I recommend it! I became a fan.
The name sounds like an enka singer, but this is one I would buy again!
Drinking at Tanuki Sushi, a sushi restaurant in Nihonbashi. There is no indication on the label, but the label on the side indicates that it is aluzo-sweetened.
It has a sweet taste, but it is refreshing. The sweetness disappears quickly.
It goes well with nigirizushi (hand-formed sushi) and you can drink it in large gulps.
I got a bottle of Tazake yesterday that I am entitled to buy if I spend more than 3000 yen on another sake, so I'm drinking this one tonight!
This is a local specialty sake made with Aomori's "Hanabukiyuki" rice, which is suitable for sake brewing.
There is a momentary sweetness at first, but it quickly disappears, followed by a clean aroma and sharpness. It is well-balanced with just the right amount of spiciness.
Delicious!
Goes well with sushi!
Good evening, Bose Kota!
I also received some this week 🎵.
It's a delicious drink 😋.
I don't know when I can drink it again 😅
Sushi and sake is the best pairing 🤤.
Today, a friend took me to Mochizuki Shoten in Atsugi, where I was offered a bottle of Tasake special junmai sake for a purchase over 3,000 yen! (Purchased together with Matsumidori from Kanagawa Prefecture)
(Purchased with a bottle of Kanagawa Prefecture's Matsumidori.) It has a sour taste with an apple-like sweetness, and a sharpness after a sizzling sensation. This is really delicious.
Yesterday we had crab, and today we received a tax return gift from our hometown, so we drank it with crab as well. It goes well with crab.
I was told that if you drink it over a month or so, you can enjoy the change in taste, but I've already finished the four-pack.
I won the lottery at Koyama Shoten in Tama City! Tonight I will drink this with my 88 year old father!
It is rich and sweet, but not unpleasantly sweet. It smells like apples. It also has a nice sharpness with a momentary whiff. This may be the first time for Aizan sake rice, but it has a very full aroma and is really good. The lingering aftertaste after drinking is absolutely irresistible. It went well with crab! Thank you, Kiyamasa Shuzo!
Good evening, Bose Kota!
Congratulations on your win 🎉I am so jealous😍!
It's nice to have a drink with your father ✨.
The Jikin-sama is so delicious, even the aftertaste is irresistible 🤤.
ma-ki-, ichiro18, you will get a call when you win the drawing, if you don't buy it within 2 weeks, it will be released! I was lucky! I didn't win the Jyushiyo, but I'm thankful I won just for the Jyushiyo!
This "Saku Hi Hiyaoroshi" is an autumn sake brewed with Yamadanishiki and matured slowly over the summer.
It has a strong sweetness, with a moderate acidity immediately after drinking, and a rich, good aroma of rice. It has a nice aftertaste.
Went well with medium fatty tuna sashimi.
Today I drink a rare green label tasake that I got at the Masaruya Tsurukawa store two weekends ago!
This sake is made from "Akita Sake Komachi" and brewed in the old-fashioned Yamahai method.
As one would expect from a junmai ginjo brewed in the yamahai method. It is a rich and powerful sake with a sour taste. It has a rich aroma of rice and a well-balanced sweetness. It has a pear-like sweetness.
It seems to go well with a variety of meals. We had it with beef tongue. It was delicious!
The fifth and final type of today.
This one is a traditional tavern drink.
Selected sake rice is polished to 65% and used for the koji rice and the three-stage brewing process: Hatsuzoe (first stage) and Nakazoe (second stage), and for Tomezoe (third stage), Yamadanishiki from Hyogo Prefecture is used to enhance the quality of the sake. It is light and dry, as is typical of Isobojiman. It has a softness in the dryness.
It is a stable taste!
We enjoyed a variety of sake today!

The third type today.
This is the Ni-Utsuri series. I have been curious about it for a while and ordered Junmai this time.
It is neither too hot nor too sweet. It is mild and pleasant to the palate. It has a well-balanced Junmai taste. I like the aroma of grains.
I like it because I can feel the aroma of grains moderately.

Second kind today.
First sip. Aromatic and sweet. The sweetness rushes into the mouth at once. It smells like banana.
Second sip. The sweetness becomes a bit gentler, and the sharpness comes out, making it easier to drink.
Tonight we drink at a soba noodle restaurant in Shinyurigaoka!
My first Shinmasa NO.6.
The first sip gave me an aroma I had never tasted in sake before. Perhaps it is because it is made in a wooden vat.
It has a full flavor and a great sharpness!
The sweetness is peachy. The acidity is a bit strong.
The second sip is a little mellow.
The second sip is a little mellower and deeper. This is like a wine.
It is delicious. I want to try X-type next time!
I received this from a friend. Drink it in a wine glass!
The sound of gas escaping with a swoosh when the bottle is opened.
Wow! It's so shwashy!
It's rice champagne!
Pineapple-like sweetness with a crisp and tight taste.
It tastes like pineapple with a sweet and crisp taste. You can gobble it up.
I heard that if you let it sit for a day, you can feel the sweetness and umami of the rice wine
and umami as the day goes by,
I finished the four-pack bottle.
Thank you for the treat.

Hi Bose Kota!
Microbubble is delicious 😋.
The taste of the rice flavor that you can certainly taste in the shuwa is unmistakable 🤗.
You have a good relationship with your friend😊.
Hitomebore polished to 60% and brewed with Miyagi yeast to a sake degree of +11 degrees.
Although it is called "super-harakuchi," it does not feel that spicy.
It has a mild aroma, a moderate rice flavor and umami, followed by a clean and crisp taste.
It is also delicious!
