Popular Ichi Sake Godzilla Junmai Daiginjo 16% 50% 720ml 3850yen The case has an interesting story about Eiji Tsuburaya's hometown near the brewery in Nihonmatsu. It is brewed in a wooden vat, daiginjo, and comes in a nice box, so the price is quite reasonable. It has a smooth taste with a hint of guava and other tropical fruits. It has a full, rich mouthfeel with hints of guava and other tropical fruits, and the slight aging process gives it a rich, mellow, and hot taste. It is an expensive sake, so it would be good to give it away. But I wouldn't buy it myself. Maybe there is a demand for Gojira collectors. Rating 4.1 (out of 5.0) 20240101

Ikegame Junmai Ginjo Unfiltered Hiyoroshi 60% 15 degrees Celsius Purchased in Fukuoka. The sweetness starts out as a whiff and changes to a full-bodied taste. Sweetness and bitter aftertaste follow. It has a hiyaoroshi-like taste. There are some fluty notes that I don't like, and the flavor is good, but the sweetness is a little too strong. My wife asked if it could be used as a cooking sake for simmered dishes. I somewhat agree. Rating 3.4 (out of 5.0) 20231229

Ogaki Okijyu Namikake Junmai-shu 15% 65% 1800ml 2310yen The brewery of Yuto Masamune. This sake has a strong pungency. It seems to have a nama-shoto style, but it does not have a sense of umami and does not leave a strong impression. It seems to have a raw yeast character, but it has no umami and is not very impressive. When heated, the pungency and astringency stand out! The sense of nama yeast is doubled. It's a good food sake and you feel like you're drinking sake. The more you drink it, the more you understand how good it is. And the price is very cheap! Rating 4.1 out of 5.0 20231225

Fukuwagura Junmai Ginjyo Nama Shu 60% 15%, 300ml Mr. U of Kinsho-kai gave us a small bottle of this sake. It is made from Kami no Hobo sake produced in Mie Prefecture. I thought for a moment that it might be a bit dry, but it is sweet with a strong aftertaste. It tastes like white wine. The aroma was too sweet and smelly. I wonder if the Mie Prefecture yeast, MK3, is responsible for the artificial ginjo aroma. It's a high-class sake that costs 2,400 yen for a four-pack, but it's still in a realm I don't understand. But thank you, Mr. U! Rating 3.4 (out of 5.0) 20231221

Mansaku no Hana SILKY SNOW TIME - Winter hiya-shu 70% 15% 720ml 1430yen This is a low-temperature fermented fire-aged limited edition sake. Recently, I have avoided Mansaku because of its overly pronounced fruitiness, but this one is a bit more subdued. It has sweetness and bitterness, and the bitterness is cocoa-like. The acidity is also moderately pronounced and lingers for quite a long time. It's not my favorite, but it is what it is. Rating 3.6 (out of 5.0) 20231217

Hakata Hyakunenkura Junmai Ginjo F44 15% 55% 720ml 1870yen I went to Hakata brewery from Tokyo. There were a lot of souvenirs and many foreigners were there. This is the first time to drink sake from this brewery, but it gives the impression of being sweet, heavy, and guttural. It has a flavor like persimmon extract and a depth like soy sauce-based soup stock. It is sweet and spicy, sweet and strong, and has a powerful feeling of more than 15 degrees Celsius. My wife said it has a salty taste. It is a little too strong to keep drinking. It is best served on the rocks. The website says that it is for "food", but I wonder if this is the taste that people in Kyushu prefer. The label says "F44" because it uses Fukuoka's strain 44 yeast.

However, it is sweet. Ten years ago, it was shockingly good, but I must have changed. Rating 3.7 (out of 5.0) 20231209

Chichibu-Nishiki Special Junmai Nama-shu Shiboritate 18% 60% 1800ml We went to Yao Honten in Chichibu to buy our favorite Chichibu Nishiki. It has a thicker texture, and the bitterness from the lactic acidity is like grapefruit. It has a punch and a strong flavor. It has a sweetness, but also has a man's sake feel to it. The boss of the Kinsho-kai told me that Chichibu-nishiki is a traditional sake, and that it might not be tasty. He praised me for changing his image of Chichibu-Nishiki. I heard that they have started making a new sake called "Wolf Flame" for distributors, but I wonder how it is. I guess it is a trendy sake, but I am curious about it. Rating 4.1 (out of 5.0) 20231204

Kihotsuru Hiyashioroshi Junmai 16% koji 50% kake 68% 720ml 1623 yen The retro label is nice. It is made from Saga rice called "Sagabiyori". This may be the first time. The sweetness is like custard, but not too sweet. It also has a sweetness like cold medicine syrup. The acidity seems to be like that of a sake yeast yeast, but it does not seem to be a yeast yeast yeast yeast. It is quite good. No wonder it is popular. Rating 4.2 (out of 5.0) 20231130

Kurokabuto Unfiltered Bottle Enclosure Junmai Ginjo Black Koji Brewing Yamadanishiki 15% 720ml 1760yen Purchased this sake from the Ikegame Sake Brewery in Kurume on a trip to Fukuoka. It is made with black malted rice for shochu. It is very robust despite its 15% alcohol content. The label on the back says "Strawberry," which is very obvious! It also has a custard-like sweetness and a dry aftertaste. It has something in common with Kikusui's canned shochu liquor with sake lees. Well, I repeat, it is very strawberry. A bargain!

Echino Yukitsubaki Junmai Ginjo 60% 15% 720ml 1240yen A bargain product sometimes seen at supermarkets. It is a slightly sweet, dry food sake. It has a soft taste. It is quite good even when heated. It may also have a hint of berry flavor hidden in it. It has a stable flavor that is just right no matter what time of day you drink it. I would like to try another sake made with the same yeast.

Hakata Hyakunenkura Shiboritate Junmai-shu Namaishu 17% 70%. Purchased at a brewery in Hakata. It was a beautiful facility with a lot of attention to detail for tourism. Many foreigners visit the brewery. This Shiboritate Junmai sake has a strong raw sake flavor. When you put it in your mouth, you will feel lactic acidity, astringency like grape skin, and spiciness in that order. The body is strong and very drinkable. It has a strong body and is very satisfying to drink. The sake brewery was more solid than I expected. If I visit Fukuoka again, I will stop by. Rating 4.0 (out of 5.0) 20231119

Daishichi Junmai 69%, 15%, 720ml, 1,390 yen In my mind, this sake represented the image of "Namo Hashiroshi". They have been using pure rice and making sake since the 1950s. The taste is stable. The astringent taste fits well with food, and the acidity is typical of Daishichi. To be honest, I am not good at the acidity of Daishichi's sake, but it is unquestionably Daishichi that is the standard for the taste of my world's sake. Every year, I feel like I understand the greatness of Daishichi more and more. However, how many people can tell the difference in taste between the regular rice and the super-flat polished rice?

Miyoshikiku Omachi 60 4BY Junmai Ginjo Unfiltered Nama-shu 60% 15% 720ml 1,705 yen Full of grapefruit flavor. Reminds me of the feeling I had as a child when I ate grapefruit with sugar sprinkled on it. Is it safe to drink with blood pressure medicine? (I don't take blood pressure medicine with grapefruit.) Some days I feel a strong lychee sensation. For some reason, I can feel the nostalgia of those days in elementary school when I used to go to the candy store. This sake brewery is pushing forward with such originality. Rating 4.1 (out of 5.0) 20231111

Sake Isshuji Junmai Aki-agari 70% 17% 720ml 1394 yen This sake was a gift. I thought the label was subtle, but I liked it very much. It has a refreshing taste, but it is full-bodied. The acidity is a bit like citrus peel, and there is a bitter taste. The low temperature aging-like mellowness is also good. The price is reasonable. Rating 4.1 (out of 5.0) 20231107

Raifuku Smoked Gin 15% 60% 1800ml 2310yen Visited the brewery of Raifuku in Ibaraki. Purchased a bottle that looked good for eating. It is called "Ibushigin. It has a strong, mellow flavor with a little fruitiness. It has a tangy edge and a spicy aftertaste. It is best at room temperature. The sense of alcohol is strong in a good way. It is made from a strain isolated from Tokyo University of Agriculture. I like it because it is different from the sweet Raifuku I have had in the past. It is also inexpensive.

Hiraizumi Maruhi Hiraizumi Maruhi Hiraizumi Hiraizumi Maruhi Oroshi Yamahai Junmai 60% 15% 720ml 1870 yen A sake with a full flavor and strong acidity. The acidity is doubly pronounced due to the use of the acidic yeast 77, not to mention the acidity of Yamahai. It has a chocolate-like sweetness with a hint of orange peel and banana. I quite like the taste. The sake level is -18, which is quite sweet, but it is good. It scores very high in the sweet and sour Yamahai category. It is made with rice called Ichihozumi from Akita.

Ginrei-Gassan Hidden Sake 15% 70% 720ml There is not much information about this "hidden sake" on the website or on the Internet. I remember that I bought it at a supermarket called Big Yosan in Tsunashima, Kanagawa Prefecture. The price is unknown. Sake that claims to be a "hidden sake" is not very good at all. But if you say "Oh, hidden sake," people in their 60s or older will say, "Oh, hidden sake? I guess it's a strategy to get people in their 60s to say, "Well, you'd better buy it soon, kaasan. I think that's the strategy. No, but this sake has a fruity taste and a light flavor. Yet it has a slightly heavy body. The aftertaste is slightly caramelized. It also has a spiciness and sharpness. Yamagata yeast is used. It may be one of the better hidden sake often seen. Rating 3.7 (out of 5.0) 20231022
