Kinmyo Junmai Sake 60% 15-16% 720ml Kinmyo by Negami Shuzo is my new favorite sake. The acidity is up from last year. The characteristic custardiness is almost gone, and a green apple-like fruitiness has been added instead. It also has a spiciness to it. It is a different taste from last year. I prefer the taste of last year's, but this is still good! Rumor has it that he makes it all by himself. Rating 4.2 (out of 5.0) 20240122

Hakkaisan 15.5° 60% brewing alcohol 720 ml 1095 yen This sake is made mainly from Gohyakumangoku rice and fermented at low temperature. The yeast is 701. It is dry but has a deep sweetness. This is a representative sake of Japan. It is impeccable. Rating 4.2 (out of 5.0) 20240118

Uonuma Junmai 15-16% 65% 720ml 1133yen Purchased at Ozeki supermarket in Togoshi Ginza. Uonuma is a safe sake for me. The label says it has a crisp aftertaste, and that is exactly what it is. It has a sharpness. And the flavor is not too strong. This is my standard sake for eating! And it's surprisingly affordable. Don't be an expert, buy this kind of delicious sake at the supermarket. This is the taste of sake. Rating 4.2 (out of 5.0) 20240114

Narutabura Mt. Fuji subsoil water brewing 2020 Omachi 17%, 720ml, about 2200 yen This sake is made by a very small brewery called Negami Shuzo in Gotemba. It is a junmai (pure rice) sake, but there is no special polishing label. In fact, the Negami Shuzo's "Kinmei" sake is so good that its popularity has skyrocketed in my mind. This "Narutabura" is labeled as 2020, so it has been aged for quite some time since January 2024. However, it does not have an old sake feel and has a strong depth of flavor. The taste is surprisingly clear. The rice is omachi, but the finish is clear for that. The alcohol content is 17 degrees, but it feels like 15 degrees. It has a complex taste with astringency, acidity, and spiciness. It is also very drinkable with a glass of wine. Rating 4.0 (out of 5.0) 20240110

Koshi Mellow Sake 15% brewing alcohol 720ml Purchased a regular Kouji variety at a supermarket in Chiba. It has a yellowish color. The taste is exquisite, with a hint of yellow and a hint of not so yellow. It tastes like old Japanese sake, which may not be to everyone's liking. However, the acidity is quite deep. It is labeled "mellow sake," but it has a malty, aged-like sweetness and just the right amount of spiciness. I quite like this kind of sake. I looked up this sake on the Internet and could not find anything about it. All that comes up are refreshing, sweet sake for young people. I remember that a 720 ml bottle cost less than 1,000 yen. I guess they don't put it on their website because only local old men who can't even use the internet would buy it. Rating 3.9 (out of 5.0) 20240107

Amabuki Koisuru Banana Nama Junmai Ginjo 60% 15%, banana yeast, 720ml, 1544 yen It is indeed banana! The banana feeling is passed through the nose. The sweetness is surprisingly moderate, rather picking up dryness and bitterness. However, it is sweet in its own way with a sake degree of minus 6. It is not at all sweet and delicious. And there are a lot of bananas. I was surprised that the yeast could bring out the banana so well. Every time I drink this sake, I am impressed by Amabuki's sake. Rating 4.1 (out of 5.0) 20240104

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.

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

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!

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
