Zuikan純米酒 超辛口山田錦中汲み 生
alt 1alt 2

さけざん
The last Zuikan is in the process of aging. but it's brewed in 2023, so it's been sitting for 2 years. Sake temperature is about 10 degrees Celsius. The aroma is not strong. Maybe a hint of milkiness. It's a bit milky. The mouthfeel is refreshing. But it is not as rounded as the 5 year old, and this one has more sharpness. Anyway, it is easy to drink, and since it has no sourness or old sake-like aroma, it can be paired with many different kinds of food. Of course, it is also delicious on its own.

On our way to visit the dam, we stopped by Yamaoka Sake Brewery! There were many kinds of sake in the fridge, so I asked the brewery staff about their standard sake, and they recommended this brand! He said it is often served at izakayas (Japanese-style pubs) in Fukuyama City! Yamaoka's sake is often aged, and this one was also aged for 3 years! Sake temperature is 9 degrees Celsius. The aroma is like that of old sake, followed by a spicy aroma. The mouthfeel is refreshing but soft, with no aftertaste - it has a sharpness to it. As it is a super dry sake, I thought it might have acidity, but I didn't feel it. It is very easy to drink. At room temperature (20 degrees Celsius), some acidity remains, but not too much. It's delicious! Let's try heating it up next time! According to the brewer, it goes well with Western and Chinese dishes with strong flavors. I guess that's exactly the flavor of sake that has been aged for a while, similar to that of Shaoxing sake! I picked a lot of bamboo shoots, so let's try it with Chinese stir-fry with green pepper 😁.

A bottle of winter hanpukai The aroma is not so long. A faintly sweet aroma? It is soft on the palate. The bitterness remains a little, but I think the bitterness makes it more refreshing. The description says to drink it at room temperature or chilled, but I was tempted to warm it up, so I warmed it up lukewarm. It's not bitter, but it's softer and tastes great! This is the kind of sake that you can drink every night without getting tired of it!

Purchased at Tenmanya Store when I drove my college student son to Okayama Soft and fluffy vanilla aroma Not as strong an aroma as one might expect from an aromatic sake. Mouthfeel is refreshing. Slightly bitter taste, but not bad. My impression is that it is an easy-drinking junmai-shu with few habits. Seems to go well with all kinds of food.

I bought this bottle after visiting the brewery on a trip to Hita. Sake temperature 6 degrees C. Slight aroma of melon, clean mouthfeel, no acidity or sugar residue on the finish. At 10 degrees Celsius, the aroma changes from melon to a sweet aroma that is typical of the original sake. The mouthfeel is still clear, but soft, and the warmed sake is easy to drink, but there is a subtle hint of glue in the aroma. I wouldn't recommend heating it up. It's easy to drink cold, so I think it will be gone soon. Well, it's 300 bottles, so I finished it...

One of the Japan Meimon Sake Club's hanpukai Aroma: Aroma of ginjo, not too strong and not too weak, like a melon. The mouthfeel is soft and smooth. A hint of cedar in the nose. A little sourness like a lemon lingers on the tongue. The label says it's 16%. I guess it's a pure sake so the alcohol content must be high, but it's easy to drink.

The brewery has revived Japan's oldest sake brewing method called "Bodhi Hashiroshi" and brewed with this method. Perhaps it was because I was holding the bottle with a little bit of a swing, but when I opened the lid, it made a very nice sound. When I poured it into a glass, I found a cloudy sake. The aroma is sweet, which is characteristic of the original sake, and there is also a fresh aroma of milk-like yogurt. Sake temperature is about 10 degrees Celsius. In the mouth, it has a soft, round mouthfeel with a slightly tangy sensation. It has a soft and round mouthfeel.

Purchased when I went to see a movie in Hita Sake temperature 8 degrees Celsius The aroma has a hint of melon. Banana aroma on the palate. It has a thick but not sticky aroma. When the temperature exceeds 10 degrees Celsius, the aroma of melon is muffled by the sweet and thick aroma peculiar to sake in its raw state. Dark but soft sweetness Soft mouthfeel for a hara-shu. The subtle chirichiri-ness is also good. It's delicious! Kuncho Brewery is open to the public, and it's fun to look around. There is also a paid tasting - I had to hold back because I was driving there (of course)!

Drink immediately after taking out of the refrigerator. Sake temperature is 7 degrees Celsius Light but hard to drink I don't know. Wait a little, sake temperature is about 10 degrees Celsius Slightly sweet ginjo aroma - a little banana-like The mouthfeel seems soft, but it's refreshing and leaves no aftertaste. This is a sake that can be served with a wide range of food. Let's try it with delicious fish cakes, the pride of our prefecture!

The color is like a rosé wine as the name suggests. The aroma is not very strong, but has a hint of old sake. In the mouth it is sweet ❗️ with a sake degree of -60 Of course it is sweet. But not too sweet, but soft sweetness. There is a hint of sourness. The color and taste are like yamamomo sake. It has a good balance of sweetness and sourness, and like Junmai Ginjo sake, I thought it would be good as a nightcap sake, but when I looked at the website, it says it's good as a nightcap sake. I almost drank the small bottle I got as a souvenir! I'm going to keep it in the fridge to enjoy before going to bed!

A bottle that was sleeping in the fridge. Soft ginjo aroma. The mouthfeel is soft and slightly sweet. It is round or mellow with little acidity. It is a gentle saké with a mild taste. It is an all-Tokushima sake with LED yeast made in Tokushima and rice and koji made in Tokushima. When I visited Tokushima on a trip, a liquor store told me that Tokushima has the lowest production of sake in Japan, but there is a sake brewery that is doing a great job.

Purchased on a trip to Tottori 12 degrees and low alcohol sake Light amber in color Sake temperature is about 12 degrees. Aroma: mineral type? Slightly old sake-like aroma Soft sourness and sweetness in the mouth. It is like a weakly aromatic plum liqueur with water. I thought it would be good for a nightcap, but it ran out. The 300ml bottles for souvenirs are good to buy for various purposes, but they are a little short. I wanted to drink it as a nightcap.

Sake temperature: about 10 degrees Celsius Slightly sweet, slightly milky aroma. In the mouth, you first feel the acidity, followed by a strong alcohol taste (which is natural since it is 17 degrees Celsius), and then the umami comes in afterwards. I thought it would be a little softer than I expected from the name "Yuri Brewing", but I was pleasantly surprised by the umami. It has a freshly squeezed taste, and I got the image of drinking freshly squeezed sake in a brewery (which I have never done before). I went to see a movie in Hita City, Oita Prefecture, and while I was there, I visited a liquor store. There was no doubt about it! Yuri in "Yuri Brewing" is the toji's name, isn't it?

Sake temperature is about 11 degrees Celsius. Nutty aroma with a sweet aroma. The mouthfeel has a chili taste at first, and the sweet aroma is not so sweet, and the sake is refreshing despite its high alcohol content. I drink this every year, but I think it has less umami this year. It's dangerous, though, because it's so refreshing that you can gobble it down.

There is a warning that there is carbon dioxide gas from fermentation, so be careful when opening the bottle. The anticipation is high! When you open the cork, it makes a nice sound. When you pour it into a glass, does it make a slight sizzling sound? Sake temperature is about 7 degrees Celsius. The ginjo aroma is gorgeous, but soft. Like a combination of banana and apple. The mouthfeel is slightly carbonated and acidic, making you think it is sharp, but then the soft sweetness spreads. A lingering aftertaste of slightly carbonated acidity follows. For the second sip, turn the bottle and twist the corkage around the sip. Maybe it's my imagination, but the milk sweetness is added and it's good too! Wakamusume does not disappoint! I have to work tomorrow, but I hope I can save it!

Annual Risshun Morning Press I wonder how many years have passed since I started buying it. It's interesting because every year it shows a different face! This year... Sake temperature is about 7 degrees Celsius. The aroma is faintly ginjo, with a hint of cedar. The mouthfeel has a strong alcohol taste, and a slightly carbonated taste. At 12 degrees, it has a sweetness with a hint of bitterness. This year's sake has less umami. This series is very seasonal. It has a sense of the season, which is good.

When poured into a glass, it has a white cloudy taste. Wow, the anticipation rises! The aroma is pear? It gives the impression of being a lychee. There is sometimes a sweet milky aroma in the middle. The mouthfeel is thick but refreshing. Also, I love the chili taste! This is my favorite! I finished it because of the low alcohol content: ❗️

Slightly sweet with a grape aroma. The mouthfeel is slightly sweet and soft, with a slight bitterness, but mild and easy to drink. I would like to drink it leisurely and lazily while reading a book. I'd like to enjoy the marriage with a meal, but all I can think about is drinking 😅.

My first sake from Chiba Sake temperature is about 12 degrees Celsius. When you open the cork, it's a bit of a surprise that it's not a draft sake. I feel a sense of anticipation, even though it is not a draft sake. The aroma is slightly sweet with a hint of peach. In the mouth, there is a juiciness after a little bit of a chili sensation, and a mild acidity lingers on the tongue. It is said to have won the highest gold medal at the "Sake in a Wine Glass Award". No wonder it is so delicious!
