It has been a long time since I have had tazake. I bought it because I had never had a draft sake before. It has a gorgeous pear-like aroma and a strong freshness. One sip, and yes, it is delicious! It has a fresh, apple-like sweetness that is more raw than regular tasake, sweet -> a little chili -> sweet -> umami comes up for a moment -> clear sweet and tasty to the aftertaste. I paired it with some smoked cheese I had in the fridge, which was a surprise: !!!! It goes 10 times better than I expected!!!! I felt the smell of the smoke was so strong that it was happily lost on both of us. The drink itself is delicious. 8.7

I bought a bottle of Yoshida Kurau, one of the most popular sake that I have not been able to drink for a long time, since the autumn sake season is over. The aroma is light, and the texture is smooth on the tongue. It has a smooth, silky sweetness and a light gassy feeling. There is a good amount of fullness until you feel the gas, but from there it fades away light as if it were low-alcohol. The face you see in the first half and the second half is completely different. It is not thin by any means, and the second half is very clear and light. There is a lactic acidity in the aftertaste, but overall it is clear and refreshing. Is this modern Yamahai? It was as delicious as the rumors say. 8.3

Here is the first new sake of the season. Fresh, fruity aroma typical of Hououmida. It has a youthful, muscat-like sweetness, with the astringency of new sake, yet it is round and the sweetness expands to the aftertaste. It is easier to drink than regular Hououmida with its unctuous sweetness. Delicious. 8.3

I put it down for a bit but opened it today. I am not a fan of Shichiken, but it always tastes better than the price, so I have high expectations. It has a light mouthfeel, with a slight sweetness from the umami of the rice, but it quickly turns dry and sharp. It is clear, but also has a lot of umami and is very well balanced. It seems to go well with both Japanese food and cheese with a lot of umami. As expected from Shichiken. 8

I was surprised to find a bottle of Amaeru at a liquor store I frequent. It was sold in a set with an expensive sake, but I bought it without hesitation. I didn't expect to be able to buy it. The cap is now a screw type, so I guess it is no longer half full when opening the bottle, which I have heard about. I opened the bottle little by little and it took about 2 minutes to open the bottle, so the difficulty level was low. The aroma is of yogurt and orikara, so I guess that's it. When I poured it into a glass, it was so fluffy that it almost overflowed. It was completely like champagne. The strong acidity is like a white wine. It is easy to drink, with a fine gasiness and a silky sweetness, but not too much. What impressed me the most was the strength of the body, which I could not believe it was 9%. It is not thin at all, but rather thick. It has a pleasant umami with acidity that is typical of a sake yeast yeast yeast, and it goes down the throat clear and without any cloying taste. Yes, it is too good. Preferable to No.6. 9.5

The price is 4,400 yen, including a donation of 1,500 yen to the Yuki Brewery. Even without the donation, it is still expensive. If it's 2900 yen for a four-pack, it's almost the same as my favorite, Yamazakura Momo, which costs 3000 yen. How does it taste? It has a yellowish color and a thick texture. It has a Yui-like sweetness, followed by a light acidity and a slightly stronger astringency. It has a flatter impression than Yui, but the astringency is stronger, so it has a good cohesiveness. The sweetness and umami of Omachi is in full bloom, so although it is flat, it is still very drinkable. It was delicious. However, I think it is expensive even if it is priced at 2,900 yen. 6.8 Considering the price, I give it this rating.

Grape-like aroma upon opening the bottle. From the first sip, there is a gorgeous sweetness, followed by a refreshing acidity and astringency. Overall, it is wrapped in a mellow umami flavor, and although it has the calmness of hiyaoroshi, it is not heavy and is very easy to drink. The refreshing aftertaste is very nice. 8

I bought it because I was attracted by the jacket and the use of satoumi rice, which I had never heard of. The sharp label is cool, isn't it? It has a sweet and sour aroma. It has a smooth texture, and is full of sweetness and umami. Immediately, the acidity is strong and the umami lingers in the mouth, but the impression is very clear. It is interesting that the aftertaste is not heavy despite the strong umami. This is the type of delicious sake that will make you drink several glasses before you know it. 8.1

Yamashiroya, which I enjoyed drinking before. I was caught by the brightness of the bottle and bought it. The aroma is mild. The strong acidity, which is typical of a sake made from the traditional sake yeast, can be felt along with the clear umami. It is a refreshing sake that is not tiring to drink, as if it were a mealtime sake, and yet it is enjoyable to drink because it has the umami of a daiginjo. Yamashiroya has a sense of stability. 7.5

Autumn Sake Rush. It's been a long time since I've been here. I bought it expecting a gorgeous hiyaoroshi. The aroma is gorgeous, and the sweetness comes at first, but it is smooth and not too strong. The sweetness is cut off for a moment and you can see the dry side. The sweetness breaks off for a moment and you can see a dry side, but the mellow sweetness and umami soaks deep into the throat. It is delicious. It tastes just like I imagined Raifuku's hiyaoroshi to be like this. 7.7

Autumn sake rush is underway. The next bottle is Isshaku Suisei, a first for us. It is sweet and astringent, with plenty of umami. It is voluptuous but not cloying. The lingering aftertaste is not heavy, but it is also very strong, and the astringent bitterness tightens up the overall impression. It is very delicious. I had the impression that Isshaku Suisei was sweet, but this kind of sweetness is good and easy to drink. 8.4

Hirotogawa is a great autumn sake. I was eagerly awaiting its release and immediately bought it. The aroma is pear-like. The taste is fresh even though it is an autumn sake, something different from last year. The sweetness is restrained, and while it has a good umami flavor, it has an astringency like a new sake? Egginess? I feel something like that. It's good, it's good, but it's not what I was expecting. I was expecting something with more umami. I was expecting something with more umami, but the freshness is stronger. I liked last year's better. 7

The Sei Shuzo brewery in Gunma is taking on a variety of challenges. I knew it existed, but I had never had a chance to drink it. The aroma is mild. The moment you put it in your mouth, you can feel the silky sweetness, and the clear umami can be felt on the dry side. It is refreshing, but has a delicious umami flavor that is typical of autumn sake. The balance is very good, so this is an autumn sake that will be popular with everyone. 8.1

The second bottle of autumn sake is Houou Mita, which has been a long time coming. Smooth on the palate, with a hint of pear. Overall, it is refreshing and has little volume. It is light in a good sense, though the umami is well expressed. As expected of Hououmida, it is juicy and fresh even though it is hiyaoroshi. It has a good balance of sweetness and sweetness, and has an aftertaste that does not linger. It is so complete. 8.6

Here is the first autumn sake of the year that I, an akizakist and hiyaoroshinist, will drink. My first Takachiyo, I have never drunk hiragana or romaji before. Aroma like pear, sip. The sweetness is like molasses, and then the umami starts to sizzle. The umami is doubled in the mouth. It is similar to Tasake's special junmai or Hirotogawa's special junmai. Yes, my favorite type, delicious. It was a bottle suitable for the opening of the upcoming fall sake season. 9

I bought this one because it was the first one I saw. I like dry wine these days. It has a green apple aroma, a refreshing green apple taste in the mouth, and then a dry, crisp taste and a sudden burst of flavor. It is refreshing and tasty. I didn't like the previous Kuregakushi Masamune because it was too thin and sweet, but I like this one because it is well-balanced. 8.5

First ice breaker, or rather first Tamagawa. A sip on the rocks. I thought it would be a refreshing drink because of the label and the color of the bottle, but it has a very profound feeling. It has a sense of maturity, but it is refreshing on the rocks. This is my favorite. I have been enjoying heavier sake recently, but it is not too heavy, and the sweetness is also strong, so I feel that the overall harmony is well balanced. I learned a new genre. 8

Another nigori sake. It has a light, refreshing sweetness, and a clean aftertaste that makes your throat feel hot. It is light, but still very drinkable, but it is also light enough to drink in summer. It has a cloudy creamy but not heavy umami taste. 8

I have always been curious about Naturals, I bought the zero one. When I opened the bottle, it didn't shrivel up at all. One sip and it was sweet, sour, sour, shuwar, and deliciously juicy. This is delicious. It has a lot of milky nigori flavor and the acidity that is typical of Senkyoku is very effective, which I like very much. I think it is the perfect nigori sake for this hot season. It is even a twin of "Yukidamatama," surpassing "Kabutomushi" in Sentori's lineup. It is great to have such a delicious sake with no peculiarities in a sake with a traditional sake yeast yeast. 9.5

The days when Musha Shugyo was on line at the liquor store, but I couldn't afford it because of the price. Finally, there was a bottle in the price range that I could afford, so I bought it. The bottle was opened with a light sip. The aroma is mild and the mouthfeel is soft. Then, there was a light shriek. It has a delicious flavor typical of Yamadanishiki, and the sweetness spreads in the mouth, but it is refreshingly smooth and silky. The alcohol content is 13%, so it is very light. Or rather, it is a bit thin. I understand that low-alcohol sake is in fashion, and there are some tasty low-alcohol sake, but this one feels distinctly thin to me. Especially the lack of volume in the aftertaste is a bit sad. However, the balance is quite good, and I like it. 7
