Ancient Capital Fukubitori Special Junmai 65% 15%, 720ml, 1,540 yen Purchased at a brewery in Kyoto. This sake was created through crowdfunding by Corona Kairazu. Made with Kyoto-grown Yamadanishiki. Elegant finish typical of Kyoto. Light. A well-balanced sake with just the right mix of sweetness and spiciness. The label depicts two storks. It tastes like a souvenir sake.

Jurakudai Winter Limited Ginjo-Arabashiri 60% 17% brewing alcohol 1.8 liters 3575 yen I stopped by Kyoto on a whim and bought this at the brewery. It is a well-known sake of Kuranosuke Sasaki. It has a ginjo aroma. Slightly dry but with a fair amount of sweetness. The quality of the sake is robust. It is very rich. The yeast used is "Kyo no Koto," a ginjo yeast. The ethyl caproate is not my favorite yeast. Rating 3.5 (out of 5.0) 20230401

Tokun Kinmon Iris Cup 15%, 180ml, 270 yen I bought this cup as a golf souvenir in Chiba. I drank it with a very strong taste, but it is good. It is refreshing but has a country flavor. The rice is "Fusakogane". I have had a few Fusakogane, but I have the impression that it has a refreshing finish. The design is simple and refreshing enough to keep in your pocket.

Echino Hachiho Echigo sweet Junmai-shu, 4-step brewing, 15-16% 70%, 720ml, 1091 yen I often drink Echino Yatsuho as a regular sake at Beniton, a chain izakaya in my neighborhood, but this is the first time I have purchased it at a liquor store. Beniton's sake is a simple dry sake, but this bottle is "Echigo-no-sweet". The first sip gave the impression of a trendy flavor. It is slightly thickened and the sweetness of the four-step brewing process is recommended in a glass of wine. At -10, the value is also fairly sweet. I guess a dry one would suit my constitution better. It is a subsidiary of Ozeki since 1986. The low price is appreciated. Rating 3.6 (out of 5.0) 20230329

Kuromatsu Kenrishi Special 17% brewed alcohol 1.8 liters 2816 yen This is a standard sake often seen in supermarkets and purchased as a return to its origins. It has a yellowish color because it is not filtered very much. It has a unique flavor, with a rich, umami-kuchi taste and a slightly caramelized sweetness. It is good at room temperature or warmed. I can understand why some people don't like Kenrishige. It's a bit sticky and cloying. I try to drink my old favorite sake on a regular basis. My taste buds may change with age, or the quality of sake may change. Rated 3.4 (out of 5.0) 20230326

Snow Kayasha Yamahai Junmai 65% 16% 720ml 1485yen I think I got this from a friend in Akita. I'm still reviewing sake from a year ago, so my memory is a bit fuzzy. A little yellowish? It is full and slightly mellow. Light acidity lingers in the mouth. Of course, Yamahai is perfect heated. The sugar content seems to increase. Even those who don't like Yamahai can enjoy it.

Yatsugo Tokubetsu Junmai Sake Yamadanishiki produced in Yatsugo 15-16% 60% 720ml 1540yen Aniki bought this for me as a souvenir from Tottori. I remember I bought the same one when I visited Tottori before. It has a clean and simple taste. Slightly dry with a hint of fluty flavor. You can enjoy the sake-like taste. It is best at room temperature. Rating 3.8 (out of 5.0) 20230318

Shichibonjari Junmai 80% Polished Rice Nama Shu 80% 16% 720ml 1705yen This sake brewery from Shiga Prefecture has been focusing on low-polished rice since 2004. The freshness and acidity are outstanding. This is the original taste of grains. It seems to be a sample of a low-polishing sake. It is also spicy and has a nice aftertaste. I would like to repeat this again. Rating 4.2 (out of 5.0) 20230315

木戸泉 非売品 15% 500ml  醸造アルコール モノトーンなラベルに「Not for SALE」の文字。これは木戸泉酒造に行った時にもらったもの。タダなのだ。もちろん数種の酒購入して。タイミングも良かったのかもしれない。 開栓してグラスに注ぐとだいぶ色が付いてる。熟成のオイニーが分かる。 ミリンと果実が上手く合わさった味。 ウイスキーのようなスモーキーさがこれまたいい。 多分ブレンド酒なんだと思うけどこんな美味いのタダでもらえるなんてほんと嬉しい。旅の思い出になりました。 評価4.3(5.0満点中) 20230313

Katori 2021 Junmai Namaishio 80% 15% 720ml 1309 yen Purchased at a select organic store in Sancha. Made with pesticide-free rice. The sticker on the label says "Nironi" and I wondered what it was, but it turned out to be NINO-NY (2021). The color is quite amber. It has a spiciness on the tongue and an acidity that reminds one of vinegar. And it has a nice aged taste. This is amazing. The warmed sake gives it more of a "sake yeast" feel. The rice seems to be a blend of various varieties, including an unfamiliar one called "Yukikawake. I confirmed that it can be purchased on Amazon.com, and I think it will be one of the top sakes I drank in 2023. Rating 4.4 (out of 5.0) 20230310

Tokaimori Yosaburo Junmai Super Dry 65% 15% 720ml 1320yen My wife's father bought this sake at the brewery. I'm going to choose this one! It is labeled with a handsome thief wearing a tenugui (hand towel). However, it is good for eating. It is dry and dry, with a sharp taste. A man's sake. The rice is from Chiba Prefecture. To Kaizakari has an image of a rough sake, but this sake has the goodness of it too. The best dry sake. I wish dry sake would come back to the world again. Rating 4.0 (out of 5.0) 20230307

Zuikan Junmai Namahashiro Yamadanishiki 70 Long-term aging  70% 15% 720ml Price unknown It says "Matured over 4 summers". I am looking forward to drinking it. I think I bought it at Big Yosan, a supermarket in Kanagawa Prefecture. The rice is Yamadanishiki from Hiroshima. It has a herbal bitterness and a certain level of spiciness. The astringency has a touch of sake yeast. The brewer's yeast is a delight. It has a clean impression without any smell from aging. It is said that this brewery produces a lot of Yamada 70.

Iwaki Kotobuki Junmai-shu - Tairyo Celebration Yamabuki 15% 65% 720ml 1580yen Koshihikari rice produced in Namie Town. They use a method called "Shin Gin Seibai" (not Ginjo-shu) which does not remove too much of the necessary ingredients. It has a slightly golden color and a full flavor. I quite like it. I had drunk the Junmai (12% alcohol by volume) from the Nagai brewery before and wondered what it was all about. I was surprised to find out what it was, so this time I was able to reevaluate it. I would like to try a draft of this one, too. Rating 4.1 (out of 5.0) 20230302

Nakamuraya Junmai Ginjyo Nama-nama Sake Shiboritate Koji 55%, Kake 60%, 16%, 720ml, 1760 yen There is almost no gasiness, and the strong ginjo yeast accentuates the umami. The aftertaste is quite sweet. The ginjo aroma is a little off-putting, but is it Kanazawa yeast? This brewery is also involved in organic rice and produces a brand called "Akira" with the name of a farmer on it. Rating 3.6 (out of 5.0) 20230301

Sincerity Junmai-shu 15% 65% 720ml 1430yen I saw this brand for the first time at Togoshiginza station, so I bought it. This brewery brews "IWANOI". This is a "white label". There seem to be dark blue, green, purple, etc. It is light, mellow, and slightly dry. Good for eating. Impression is a little thin. Rating 3.8 (out of 5.0) 20230227

Koshino-Shiratori Junmai-shu Limited Dry Nama-shu 18% 70%, 1800ml, 2750 yen Purchased at a liquor store in Kamata. It is from the "Yamama" brewery. It is said to be freshly squeezed sake. It has a robust mouthfeel with a melon-like sweetness and a dry aftertaste. It has a strong body, but I got a little tired of drinking it. Rating 3.7 (out of 5.0) 20230223

Kaganoi Daiginjo 45 15% 45% Takananishiki, brewing alcohol 720ml 2200yen Kaganoi Daiginjo, a sake from Itoigawa, Niigata. It uses medium-hard water, which is rare in Niigata. The hardness of the sake quality is not very apparent. It is full-bodied and mellow, with a strong ginjo character. It has a richness for a Niigata sake. It has umami and sharpness. The brewery burned down in 2016 and has been rebuilt, but the Noto earthquake has had almost no impact on the brewery. Rating 3.7 (out of 5.0) 20230219

Tengumai Junmai Junmai Sake Yamahai brewing 16% 60% 720ml 1650yen A representative brand of Ishikawa Prefecture. It is one of my favorite sake. Gorin of this brewery is also good. It is full of the characteristics of Yamahai brewing, and has a rich, full-bodied flavor. The color is slightly bright with a hint of bright golden yellow. I am glad I bought a bottle. It seems that the recent earthquake had some impact on the brewery. Although the brewery was not destroyed by the earthquake, the brewers' homes were damaged and the brewing schedule was delayed significantly. Rating 4.2 (out of 5.0) 20230215

Gen Dry 180ml Gen by Wakatsuru Shuzo. The details are not clear. It may be a souvenir sake. The concept is to make a dry sake that you never get tired of drinking. It is said to have a cool design suitable for dry sake. It is probably a regular sake. Even the standard sake seems to be made from Toyama Gohyakumangoku. It tastes as easy to drink as it looks. It is hard to guess the name "Wakatsuru," but it is the same company as Naekaya. Toyama Prefecture must have been shaken by the earthquake. Rating 3.7 20230211
