RyozekiRyozeki Laboratory Presents 超辛口純米吟醸原酒生酒無濾過

Ryozeki Shuzo Akita

This Ryoseki Labo (experimental brew) is similar to Hanayuup and Suidama, and when I drank it last year, it was a beautiful sake with a soft sweetness that was delicious 😋. I know it's delicious, and I'm not sure if it's good this year. What should I do? What was I thinking, It says "+13" 🤨⁉️ What does that mean! I think last year it was -17 or -18 on the sake level. It looks like something much different from last year, and the brewery of Hanayuup and Suidama makes such a dry sake? I don't know how much they know, but I think they are experimenting too much 🤣. And I ended up buying it 😝. It has a sourness when you drink it, and it's dry if you can call it dry. Certainly much different from Hana Yuu or something like that. Slight sweetness? If I had to say so, it's a bit like Ryoseki? The sourness goes through the nose. If you expect Hana Yuu or Suiyu, you may be disappointed, but if you don't think about that, this is delicious 😋. The second day was even better! I had an image that dry sake from a brewery that specializes in sweet sake would have a subtle sense of discomfort, but is that true? Or is that just my imagination?

Japanese>English

Good morning, Takashi 😃. I'm sorry to hear that! Really unexpected super dry ‼️ I'll have to check the international J&N standards for this one 😆.

Japanese>English

Takashi

Good morning, Jay & Nobby 😊. I would appreciate it if you could confirm this by strict, fair J&N standards 😆. However, I think it is dry, but maybe not acidic enough for your taste, J & N 🤔.

Fusano KankikuDiscovery Series New Sensation原酒生酒無濾過

Kankiku Meijo Chiba

Takashi

Last year, I went to the liquor store to buy the Discovery series, but out of the four types, only NewSensation was not sold out😭 I was kind of curious about that, so I bought it this year! This one is 90% polished Koshihikari rice. It's 💦 fresh and shriveled on the palate! It's sweet! No wonder it's a cold chrysanthemum 😚. This is delicious! Feels lighter than the 14% alcohol content, a dangerous thing that goes down smoothly! Gently sweet, juicy 😋. The creek is getting thicker and thicker...was it pooling at the bottom? But when I think about it, is this sake? I don't care, it's delicious 🤣. Sake is evolving, in a good way? I'm sure it's just a discovery! I really think it would be even better if we could compare 4 different kinds of sake together...! For now, I'm going to drink one bottle every year (for now) 😆.

Japanese>English

ひなはなママ

Good morning, Takashi 😃. I'm glad you enjoyed my first choice chrysanthemum 🤩I'm happy for you too 🥰. Discovery series, I'm getting them too 👍This series is very popular and hard to get every year😅.

Japanese>English

Takashi

Good morning, HinaHanaMama 😊. It was already gone (sold out) from the store I bought it from online. HinaHanaMama, you got all 4 types 😆 I look forward to seeing your stuff 🥰 for next year's reference 🙂‍↕️

Japanese>English

Good morning, Takashi! I see you got the 90% Koshihikari Discovery you were interested in last year 🎵. I have the impression that it tastes so good that I can't believe it is low milled rice 😋. This is another series I would like to try someday 🤗.

Japanese>English

Takashi

Good morning, ma-ki-😊. Yes, it's true. It's like 🥳🎉 how can you make such a delicious sake from regular food rice that is not sake rice, and with almost no polishing. If you have a chance, please do!

Urakasumi純米辛口

Akihabara 3) The last sake of the day was Urakasumi! Today's sake is from Tohoku 🍶. And the main sake is dry! It is true that Japanese restaurants like this may have a lineup of dry sake that doesn't interfere with the meal! But it's been years since I drank Urakasumi (I used to drink it when I was in Sendai). (I used to drink it a lot when I was in Sendai.) It's so refreshing! But it's a little different from the other ones I've had. I don't feel the acidity that much. It doesn't interfere with your meal. I was with my guests, so we had a serious talk, but we had a good time yesterday too. Thank you!

Japanese>English

ジェイ&ノビィ

Hi Takashi 😃 You can't go wrong with Urakasumi for Japanese food 😋. When I used to go back to my parents' house in Chiba, it was Urakasumi Zen 😌 and the miso soup, onigiri🍙 and oshinko are the best ending 😃.

Japanese>English

Takashi

Hi Jay & Nobby 😊. Yes, the popular sake is delicious, but this kind of combination is also good 😋. This restaurant had a good selection of dry sake. I was happy with the end result 🥰.

Akihabara (2) The 2nd cup in Akihabara Kamikigen Perfectly Fermented Super Spicy Fully fermented, no sugar left 🤔. Soft sourness? It's called "super-harsh" but I don't feel that much? (In a good way). It's refreshing and easy to drink. It is a dry sake. Is it a good food sake? But you can taste the flavor 😋.

Japanese>English

Good morning, Takashi! Thank you for your hard work in summarizing the first half of the year🍀. I also had a bottle of Cho-Kara when I first started at Sake-no-Wa, and as you said, I got the impression that it was a delicious sake with a good flavor, but not too much in a good way 😋.

Japanese>English

Takashi

Hi ma-ki-😊. I feel the owner of this restaurant likes it on this day? It was a good lineup 🥳. The drinks were refreshing and didn't interfere with the meal, so we enjoyed eating and drinking 🥰.

Akihabara (1) Yesterday, I summarized the first half of the year's work with a customer in Akihabara. After the meeting, we went for a drink as promised. I've been to this restaurant many times with these customers, but this was my first time. Thankfully, they asked me if I would like to drink sake after beer. And they were so kind. They even asked me to take a picture of the bottle so they could bring it to the bar. Thank goodness 🙇. So, without further ado, I leave it to you 😆. First, Mutsu Hachisen. Have you been drinking it for a long time? I feel like it! Whoa! Fresh! Was Mutsu Hachisen like this? (In a good way) I can also feel the sourness, soft sourness. Delicious 😋.

WakamusumeTropical　BunBun純米吟醸生酒

Araya Shuzo Yamaguchi

7/30/2025, 9:02:13 PM

Takashi

Half a year? I've been going to Yamaguchi on business for a while, so I thought I'd get around to it. I go to Yamaguchi on business trips often, so I thought I'd get it sooner or later even if I didn't buy it in my neighborhood, but even in Yamaguchi you don't see that much of it (maybe they don't produce enough?). This time, I went to a nearby store and brought home a summery one! Wakamusume Tropical BunBun Be careful not to open the bottle! I was warned to be careful when opening the bottle, but it was only a light sip 😘! I only had to do a little 😘. Fresh!　I can feel the sweetness. Tropical juice sensation? Not quite 🤣. A little peculiar sweetness? I feel a little uncomfortable with the sweetness,? And on the third day after opening it, it seems to have mellowed and tasted better. This one tastes better 😋. This could be good 🥳. My wife said, "Oh my, that's a cute label, what's up?" What's wrong? I'm not sure if I designed it myself or not 😰, Well, "it doesn't suit me" 😆. I don't disagree with that😅.

Japanese>English

ma-ki-

Good morning, Takashi! Your exchange with your wife in the last part made me laugh 😁✨✨. I was worried about this one by Wakamusume-san the other day and decided against it, so I'd like to drink it sometime 🤗!

Japanese>English

Hi Takashi 😃 I envy you having a place near you where you can buy Wakamusume 😍I wanted to try Tropical BunBun but I had no luck 😓It looks delicious 😓.

Japanese>English

Takashi

Good morning, ma-ki-San 😊. My wife doesn't drink Sake, so I have to buy a packet of it as a souvenir. So you might have thought I bought a jackpot too 🤣 but in this hot weather, tropicals are also intriguing 🏝️

Japanese>English

Takashi

Good morning, ichiro18 😊. The store in Tressa Yokohama started selling it a little while ago. （I've not been to the main store recently, but I'm sure it's within ichiro18's radius. There is Wakamusume 🥰.

Japanese>English

ichiro18

Thank you very much. I have never been to the Tressa store, and I often go to the one in Shinyoshida since it is close by, but I haven't been there recently 😅I will take a look.

Japanese>English

Takashi

ichiro18, I think they probably carry it. I too was happy to see that wakamusume is now available near my house 🥳.

Takashi, the main store had swallowtail flowers 😍tropicals were sold out so I bought them at Tressa 👍thanks 😆.

Japanese>English

Takashi

Good evening ichiro18😊. That's great! You are a man of action 😆 I didn't know you were going as soon as you did! And you even went to Tressa 🥳. But you might have a near miss somewhere 🤣I go to Takekuma once or twice a month too!

Japanese>English

ichiro18

Takashi. I may be doing that 👍Takekuma also goes to Motosumiyoshi quite often. If you have a car, Kawaramachi is convenient because there is a parking lot.

Hi, Takashi 🐦. It's buzzing season 🤣I love wakamusume but haven't come across any recently 💦I'll bring them home when I see a fancy label 😆.

Hi Pon! I'm lucky to have a store near my neighborhood that sells wakamusume 😘But there's a pattern that if it's in the neighborhood, you can buy it anytime you want, and you'll be caught off guard and go away for a long time 🤣.

Hiraizumi氷結生酒

Hiraizumihonpo Akita

7/27/2025, 8:13:23 PM

Takashi

It's hot every day🥵and in the midst of all this, I suddenly saw this💦. Hiraizumi Hyoketsu Nama Sake❄️ It says, "It's sleet-like when ready to drink." Freeze it and drink it! Isn't it the best? 🥳. Maybe it's a bad idea, but it doesn't matter in this heat! But, it doesn't freeze in the freezer 😫 Why? I look online and it says they usually freeze. My head is already full of slezzy, crunchy sake 😭. The internet also said that if you put the sake in the bottle as it is, there's a risk of it bursting, so you should transfer it to a sturdy plastic bottle. But I did it, even though that wasn't the issue this time. Success🎉🎉 Why? And that's a long preamble, When you drink it, it's shwashy, crunchy and it tastes like sake! You don't feel like you're drinking alcohol, it just goes down the drain. The more you drink it, the more it dissolves, and the better it gets! The rice flavor gets stronger and stronger 😍. I drank it chilled, not frozen. The taste of rice is very strong. But I like the crispy grated sake 😘. Somen noodles and tempura, summery!

Japanese>English

ma-ki-

Good morning, Takashi! I've never tried it before, but it sure is a perfect way to drink in this hot weather! I've never experienced it, but it sure is a perfect way to drink in such hot weather 😁✨✨. There are so many different kinds of sakes out there 😋😋!

Japanese>English

Takashi

Good morning, ma-ki-! I also tried the first time to make the mizoreshu, but it might be quite addictive 🤣. The crunchy, crispy texture is a nice touch in the hot summer 🥳.

Japanese>English

Good morning, Takashi! I can already feel the cool atmosphere from the label 🤣. ［I've never seen a sake that's based on the concept of [sleet sake] ✨

Japanese>English

Takashi

Hi Gyve 😊 Something about this jumped out at me from the many alcoholic beverages lined up 🤩 and I bought it 🤣. I struggled a bit to make it "sleazy". I still don't understand it, but I could drink it, so it's OK 🥳.

Japanese>English

ポンちゃん

Hi Takashi 🐦. Just looking at it makes me feel cooler! It's great now that it's hot 🎐 and I'm glad you were able to freeze and eat it safely 😊I'm even more curious about Hirasen since I haven't drank anything but Maruhi 😆.

Japanese>English

Takashi

Hi Pon 😊 Of course I am in an air conditioned room, but my body still craves ice 🤣. I really couldn't get sleet and almost gave up half way through, but thank goodness 🥰. It's interesting that you and Maruhi are completely different types!

Japanese>English

Good evening, Takashi 😃. I've never heard of sleet sake🧊 before, but I'd like to feel a bottle of summer banzai🙌 ‼️ with crispy 😋 tempura 🤗.

Japanese>English

Good evening, Jay & Nobby😊. I drank it for the first time too 😳I think there is probably a way to drink it called "mizoreshu", but I think there are not many liquors sold for mizoreshu. But I quite liked it 🥰.

Another bottle I bought on a business trip to Gifu last month, when I stopped by Ogaki. I stopped by Watanabe Sake Brewery and bought it. The brewery building is quaint, but the store is a very orthodox liquor store! Shirayuki Hime It seems to be the only female toji in Gifu? (Information on the internet) I thought it would be sweet or fresh from the sake name, but it was quite dry with a sour taste 😳. It's clean and crisp, with a hint of rice on the palate 🤔. It's a very hardcore type of sake 🤔. I guess this is possible too. On a hot day, fresh is good, but dry is also good 💦.

Hi Takashi 😃. Gifu is an unexplored place for us 🥲. Snow White! I thought she was a lady in a dress 👗, but she's more like a miss in a kimono 👘 😅.

Last month, I had to work two days in a row in Gifu and finished at noon, so I had some free time in the afternoon of the first day. I thought, "Why not visit a sake brewery? But Hida Takayama is too far away. I told them that I hadn't decided yet. I told them, "You could go to Ogaki. It's pretty close, and it's called the "water city," and it's the season for mizu-manju, or water buns. Okay, that's what I'll do! And off to Ogaki we go! We went to two sake breweries, visited Ogaki castle and museum, took a walk along the river (moat), and ate water manju. At the Takeuchi Sake Brewery in Ogaki, I was allowed to sample 4 different kinds of sake and finally drank the one I bought 💕 sweet first love. The one I liked best in the tasting was the raw sake, but I had to give it up because I had to work in Gifu the next day too. I didn't have the courage to ask them to put it in the hotel fridge that night, but in the fridge at the customer's office the next day😅. When I drank it, it was sweet and sour. The name of the drink is "sweet first love" but sweet? It tastes more like sweet and sour 😝First love? It tastes like first love 💔. Refreshing, low alcohol 11 degrees, juice-like? This one goes down smoothly 🥳. Ogaki's photo is an added bonus too!

Japanese>English

ポンちゃん

Hi Takashi 🐦. Yes, I know, I can't buy fresh sake if I have something to do the next day! I can't buy fresh sake if I have something to do the next day - especially in summer ☀️ I've given up crying 😢 but you've been to two breweries and also a castle! I'm so jealous 😻

Yesterday, I went to my eldest son's birthday party with my wife and my eldest son and his wife. The restaurant we reserved was an Italian restaurant? At the end of the party, we were surprised with a birthday plate and a happy birthday song 🎉. Then, we decided to go to a barbecue bar for a bit more? I was drinking beer, but they also have sake, so I decided to have one 🍶. Masumi Okuden Cold Sake It's been a while since I've had Masumi? And this is the first time? When you drink it, it is refreshing, with a little sourness! The Masumi I've had so far had a bit more soft sweetness. But it says on the label, "Aimed to be a food sake," and "A healing sake that you will never get tired of drinking," so does it seem like that? I think it would also go well with yakisoba and dim sum, It's crisp and delicious 😋. I had a fun and delicious time yesterday 🥰.

Souvenirs of my wife who traveled from her parents' home (Kagawa) to her second son (Ehime) to her eldest daughter (Shimane) in Chugoku and Shikoku. My wife doesn't drink sake, so she bought a packet this time too 🤣. Sake Sen Eiko Laugh With Sake Iyo Shizuku Hime First time drinking, first time seeing. It's a sake brewery in Matsuyama 🤔 long time ago? I've been to Matsuyama a lot but didn't know that. It was written like a sake award to drink with a glass of wine🥂 so I had it on a western food day, I imagined it to be a bit more wine-like, but it was more rice-like than I expected, a bit heavier, and a bit thicker sensation. And as I drank it, it gradually became a little sour, but not as sour as I expected. The alcohol is 16 degrees, so it's a little bit high, a little bit peculiar. On the second day, I think it's easier to drink. It's kinda like it's got a little bit of a corner on it? It tastes better: 👍️

Japanese>English

I was in Sendai on business until yesterday. Just once, a little drink. Since I was going to be there, I decided to go for the Tohoku set. Kudokidobue, Tasake, and Gakki Masamune! All were fresh, fruity, and delicious 😋. Kudokibe Junmai Ginjo The sweetness was the strongest of the three, I think. And a little dry image! I guess they are all basic, but this Kudokibe is the only one I haven't had, so here it is! Of course, Masamune and Tasake are also delicious 🥰. Gakki Masamune Nakadori Fruity and a bit sweet Tasake Special Junmai Sweet, soft, a little sour lingers on the tongue

(1) at a pub near Yokohama Station On Sunday, I didn't eat much at Yokohama Sake Square, so my friend and I walked along the seaside to Yokohama Station for some exercise 👟. We decided to go to one more restaurant, since we were sober enough to drink 😜. But the restaurant opens at 3pm and it's 2:30pm, so we went to another restaurant for a little over 30 minutes for a quick drink (2 beers and a sour, we were thirsty from walking in the heat💦) and then went to the restaurant we wanted to go to! I always drink Shinsei towards the end of the day, and sometimes I don't remember the taste well, so I'll go for the first shot today! (But thinking about it, this is my third one including the event 🤣) Shinsei Yonotori 13% alcohol by volume. This is my first time drinking Yonotori😍! Sweet and sour on the palate 😋. A delicious apricot type! I can't stop drinking 🤣.

It's a little sour and refreshing, but it also has a hint of sweetness. It has a high acidity, but I don't think it's too strong. I doubt it because I've already drank a lot of it 😂. So far, the event was a lot of fun 🥳. It's only at events that you can drink so much local Kanagawa sake!

Yokohama Salmon Square (5) Event at Yokohama Red Brick Warehouse The next drink is also the first time to drink Tanzawa This time, Junmai Ginjo The door into Summer The label has a cat opening a door, and the back is more flashy, meaning there is summer inside the door 😆. I think the person who helped us (or was it the brewery staff?) said it was a blend of 4 different types of rice. I think the person who answered me (the brewer?) said it was a blend of 4 different types of rice, and the internet says there is a small amount of Wakamizu and Yamadanishiki blended in as a hidden flavor. When you drink it, does it leave a slight taste on your tongue? It seems to be a very robust sake for a summer sake. It's like "the sake"? I could go on, but I'll stop here. I drank too much yesterday, I went to 3 restaurants after the festival 🤣.

Good morning, Takashi! Sounds like a fun sake event 🎵. I don't get a chance to meet many sakes from Kanagawa Prefecture, so it's very helpful for me to see them 😋. Looks like you drank too much this time too 😁✨✨.

Good morning, ma-ki-😊. I don't know if this is helpful, but I appreciate you saying so 🙏 I'll go on a bit more, but I also enjoyed it, especially the ones I've never had 🥰 although it was a bit too hot 💦.
