AkabuSnow Xmas純米生酒おりがらみ

赤武酒造 Iwate

January 3, 2024

disryOpened a bottle of Xmas sake late in the season. The aroma is lactic acidic and choiseme type. The gasiness is quite weak this year. Both sweet and sour are strong, but the sourness is more impressive. It is very tight. The acidity is followed by umami at the end. The lingering aftertaste is full of acidity. Stable Akabu. The taste is as good as expected. If it had been more shwashy, it might have greatly exceeded my expectations. My expectations for Akabu are already inflated.

disryAfter 3 years of not being able to get it, I finally got it last year. I hesitated to open the bottle again, and now it is at this time of the year. She is a very tomboyish girl, and it was the most difficult sake to open this season (it took me 15 minutes...). It is such a gassy sake, but the sweetness is very impressive. The gentle apple aroma is also very nice. After the sweetness, a mild sourness arrives. The umami comes right after the acidity and finishes with a very happy feeling. It was worth the wait. Best & High ‼️ I used up all my points (200) for this one and missed out on the Christmas No. 6 (300), so I'm going to plan ahead and get both of them this year!

ジェイ&ノビィHi disry 😃 You have waited for 3 years to get Jigokin nigori! Congratulations 🎉I understand how you feel that it's too good to waste 😆 And it's worth the wait 😋.

disryGood evening, Jay & Nobby 🌠. Thank you 😊 I strongly felt after drinking that I must manage to get it again this year: ‼️ and this time, No.6 Xmas too... 😏.

AramasaNo.6 S-type Direct Path純米吟醸生酒

光屋

disryI opened the bottle a little after noon, and while I was drunk and out of it, I heard an emergency earthquake alarm. I sobered up at once by confirming the situation in my hometown of Hokuriku and the safety of my parents who live there. The damage in my hometown does not seem to be too serious, and both my parents are safe. I pray from the bottom of my heart for the safety of everyone affected by this cold winter. This No. 6 is one that I bought almost a year ago, but had failed to open. The aroma is just a little bit aged, but it has a nice scent of citrus and lactic acid. Surprisingly, the gasiness was still there. The sweetness is mild and the acidity is quite strong. After a quick kick, a gentle sweetness lingers in the aftertaste. It has been a long time since I had tasted No. 6, but I think it tastes even better when drunk before its expiration date. If only I could find the courage to open it.

Japanese>English

ジェイ&ノビィHappy New Year, DISRY 🌅 and best wishes for the new year 😌. I am glad that everyone in your family home is safe. I pray for the return of peace and quiet. No.6 home drinking is our dream 🤩.

disryHappy New Year, Jay & Nobby! 🎍 It's been a crazy New Year's. I can only endure it, but I hope I can at least support my parents. I wonder when I can drink No.6 next 😅...

December 27, 2023

disryOf the first tank of Sentori, I had had Nakadori before, but somehow I had the feeling that the arabashiri would sell out quickly, so I secured the arabashiri early this year. Surprisingly, it has a fruity aroma, which is rare for Sentori. Melon and lychee-like impression. The gasiness is so-so. The balance between sweetness and acidity is excellent. Today is the third day, and it is getting better and better. The sweetness and acidity finish pleasantly, and the wine finishes with a light bitterness. It was a bit hard on the first day, but after a little while, it came together very well and has a super nice balance. I will probably buy it again next year!

Japanese>English

ジェイ&ノビィGood morning, disry😃! Sentori's first tank series! They are delicious 😋. We took the plunge and bought 3 bottles together 🤗It seems this year's release is the last as it will be renewed next year 🥲.

disryHi Jay & Nobby 🌞. The food was better than expected 😵. I didn't realize that it will be renewed next year... we'll see how it goes: ⁉️

Hirotogawaにごり純米生酒にごり酒

December 24, 2023

disryNigo-1 Grand Prix (I'm watching the Loser's Revival!) The bottle was opened with Hirotogawa, a candidate for the winner of the The aroma is elegant. It is not strong or distinctive, but it is very gentle, gentle and refined. The gasiness is of course strong. The sweetness is mild and the acidity is strong. The acidity, however, is quickly quenched. I would like to call it elegant rather than refreshing. In the second half, the sweetness of the oli comes in with a bang, and it ends smoothly, without bitterness. I can only say that it is a masterpiece. It is a rare brand that can be opened with the assurance that it is absolutely delicious. Thank you for another great year.

T.KISOGood evening, disry😄! I agree vehemently with the word "quintessential" 👏👏😊💕. The perfect balance is the best nigori 👍

KoeigikuSnow Crescent原酒生酒無濾過おりがらみ

Koeigiku Shuzo Saga

December 14, 2023

disryThis is the first Koei Chrysanthemum of the season. The store advised me to wait about three days after opening it to let the flavor develop. So, here we are on the first day. Indeed, the impression is tight and dry. The aroma is slightly muscat. The sweetness is slightly more pronounced than the acidity. Toward the end, the umami flavor arrives. Five days later... I don't remember the first day, but the sweetness has increased. I also feel that bitterness has been added, and the complexity has increased. As it approaches room temperature and the gas is released, the acidity mysteriously increases. I think I like it because it has a citrusy feeling, like Koei chrysanthemum when it first came out. I was satisfied with this year's first bottle. The alcohol content changes every year, but it is getting higher and higher, so I personally wish they would reduce the alcohol content to 13 or even 12 degrees.

December 15, 2023

disrySince Sentori and UA started collaborating, I couldn't get just the snowman, but I got it for the first time this year. (Thanks for your concern, Mr. M.) I was a little apprehensive about opening it because I hadn't seen good reviews about it in advance, but my fears turned out to be unfounded! The aroma is a mild muscat aroma. The gasiness is so strong that I almost blew out the bottle when I opened it. The sweetness is stronger than the normal Snowman. The sweetness is quite nice, but not clingy. The acidity that follows is mild. The acidity is followed by a sweet flavor, finishing with a happy sweet and sour flavor in the mouth. It is totally delicious! I prefer the UA version to the normal one. I am glad I bought it!

December 12, 2023

disryThis year's Sharaku Oorigarami, the first one. I wonder how it will be this year. The aroma is more citrusy. The melon flavor is weak. The gasiness is weak. Sweetness is mild. Sourness is strong this year. After the acidity, there is a strong alcohol taste and bitterness. It is quite a sensation. Perhaps it is because I have been drinking sake of around 13 degrees recently, but I felt a strong impact. It has a roughness that is typical of nama-shu. It is best to drink it at a much lower temperature.

haccobaおりがらみ

Fukushima

December 10, 2023

disryThe refrigerator is overflowing with new sake and wine.... We first chose a craft saké that was light and could be opened quickly. This is my first attempt at haccoba. This time, I was intrigued by the gin distillation lees and juniper berries used as secondary ingredients. The aroma is exactly like gin itself. Unfortunately, the gassiness was not as strong as I had expected. It is quite sweet. Maybe that's why I feel like I'm drinking a gin and tonic. This is not good. The acidity and bitterness (also like gin) continue to the finish. It was very tasty. I recommend it to gin lovers. If it had more gas, it would be a gin and tonic itself!

December 3, 2023

disryThis year, too, M-kun bought me a bottle of Banshu Ikkyo nigori. Thanks again. Although it is called "nigori", it is nigori. The aroma is melon and citrus. The aroma is much better than last year. The gassiness is quite strong. The sweetness is exquisite, neither too strong nor too weak. The acidity that follows is citrusy and refreshing. The acidity continues smoothly, and the aftertaste slowly fades away. This is excellent. The new sake season has just started, and this is one of the best. This year, the alcohol content has been lowered to 14 degrees, which makes it very easy to drink and tastes great. The glass was tipping and tipping!

Japanese>English

ジェイ&ノビィGood evening, disry 😃. Banshu Issen's Shippo series! It's delicious 😋. If anything, the bottle might tip over and I'd drink it straight from the bottle 🤣.

Japanese>English

disryGood evening, Jay & Nobby 🌇. The sake disappeared from the bottle as if it had been drunk 😅 Like Hirotogawa nigori, this one is getting hard to find too... 😎.

November 27, 2023

disryAgain, I opened a bottle of nigori. I had a bottle of Kangiku nigori last year, but I don't remember much about it, so I bought it again this year as a reconfirmation. The aroma is surprisingly refreshing, with a weak lactic acidity. The rice feeling is not strong and it is easy to drink. The gassiness is very weak, maybe because of the venting holes...too bad. Strong sweetness. The sweetness stands out more than the sourness that follows. The sweetness is more pronounced than the sourness that follows. A light bitterness arrives in the aftertaste. I think the reason I was less impressed last year is because I didn't like it so much, but in fact, the result may be the same this year.... If it had a solid gasiness, it would have balanced the sweetness and acidity a bit more. Looking forward to next year!

Yoshidagura uPray & Snow原酒生酒

November 24, 2023

disryWell, I thought, "I'm going to open another nigori today," and poured it out. It was clear sake... I got myself back on track... The aroma was of aromatic muscat and lactic acidity. This is good. The gaseousness is so-so. The sweetness is not strong, quite crisp. The acidity is stronger than I expected, and it's crisp and tight. The acidity is followed by a slight astringency at the end. Very refreshing. Yoshida Kurau's impression is a little weak? Thin? But that impression has been overturned! It has a solid flavor, but as usual, it is refreshing and clean. This sake is of a very high level.

November 22, 2023

disryFollowing the previous snowman, this is another niggly snow woman. The niggles are likely to continue for the time being. To be honest, I had the impression that the last few years' Yuki-Onna had a bit of a harsh taste, so much so that I hesitated to buy it this time. But this time, it exceeded my expectations! The aroma is muscat, citrus, lactic acid, and a nice rice aroma. Perfect. The gasiness is strong. Cute sweetness. Not too harsh, but mellow sweetness. Then, a strong acidity. Sometimes this acidity can be harsh, but this time it was exquisite. After the acidity, the umami comes in a big rush, and it lingers with a pleasant sweetness. The snowman was a bit subdued, so the character of the snow woman stands out. That said, it is not too flashy, easy to drink, and delicious! At this point, this is the tentative top of this season's list!

disryLast week I was unable to drink much alcohol due to a flu outbreak in my household. I finally got better, so I opened a bottle of this year's Snowman without hesitation. The aroma is a subdued muscat. This year's sake is a bit crisp. The gasiness is a bit gassy. Gentle sweetness. This is nigori sake. The acidity is not as strong as expected. Toward the end, the acidity rises and the aftertaste is beautiful. Of course, it was delicious this year, too. It seemed drier than last year. This year, I recommend it for during dinner.

Takachiyo Shuzo Niigata

November 15, 2023

disryI bought it based on its reputation at Sake no Wa. It has been a very long time since I have had much contact with Takachiyo. The scent is quite mild. I've seen grefle fragrances before, but it's more like melon. A little gassy. The sweetness of the rice cake is soft and pleasant. I heard that it has a strong acidity, but it is not so strong. The finish is full of umami and bitterness. There is not much of an unpleasant aftertaste. It was not that flashy, not too sweet, not too spicy, just right. It was more suited for mid-meal than I expected.

November 9, 2023

disryI walked in by chance and unexpectedly got a jishin. Since the end of the Corona disaster, cases like this have almost disappeared. The aroma is fresh lychee. Maybe it's my imagination, but I feel a little gas. The sweetness is moderate, or rather refreshing. The acidity is crisp and strong, but short and sharp. It finishes with a bitterness that is not too strong. So, this is what it means to be free of bitterness. As expected of Jikin-sama, refinement! It is fruity, refreshing, and sharp. Fruity, refreshing, and sharp. I wonder when I will be able to find it again...

Japanese>English

ジェイ&ノビィHi disry 😃 Yes, it was quite common to be able to buy some kind of normal metaphysics during the Corona disaster 🤔God of Balance, I haven't had it for a while 🥲.

disryJay & Nobby, congrats. I got into sake after I got into the Corona disaster, so I mistakenly thought that was the norm 😅. God of Balance by Kami Hirose, nice ‼️😆

disryThe season of illuminated chrysanthemums has come. This year, too, we chose orikagami. Oh, it has a nice aroma of lactic acid, pear-like, and fluffy. The aroma and gasiness are not too strong and pleasant. The sweetness is predominant, but it is short-lived and quickly changes to sourness. After the acidity, a gentle bitterness is added, again with a pleasant finish. As one would expect from Densho-Kiku. In the past few years, there has never been an outlier, making it a super stable brand. Finally, the new sake season has begun!

disryFirst anniversary of Ikebukuro Seibu's sake dealer Yamada? It's a limited edition sake. It may be rare, since it seems to have hardly been posted on Sake-no-Wawa. The aroma is fresh banana. Quite crisp. Mochi, shwashwa. Quite dry. There is almost no sweetness, and the acidity is not too strong and refreshing. The acidity quickly evaporates, and there is no bitterness, but a pleasant aftertaste. It is easy to drink, so it goes down smoothly, but I realized halfway through that it is actually a very elegant sake. It looks like something you would find at a high-class sushi restaurant, was the impression of a conveyor belt sushi expert (myself).
