Shinshu Kirei金紋錦 純米吟醸
たろけん
We opened a bottle of this brewer's limited edition that we had previously purchased.
Japanese>English
たろけん
Newly opened bottle after a long time.
Since it was getting cold, we had it warmed up. The spiciness matched the fullness of the rice and it was delicious.

たろけん
As a reminder.
I opened a bottle just recently and found it to be both sour and sweet.

Shinshu Kireiひとごこち 純米吟醸 無濾過生原酒
たろけん
The first new bottle opened in a long time, and the first Shinshu Kamerei in a long time.
The taste does not betray expectations as usual.
It is a pity that it has become more difficult to obtain than before.
I would like to enjoy it a lot.

Hanaabi純米大吟醸 山田錦 おりがらみ
たろけん
Today, we opened this bottle from our stock, which had been stored for more than a year.
As expected, it did not have a freshness, but the pineapple flavor was still there, and it was delicious without the bitterness that is sometimes found in Hana-yosu.
Japanese>English
たろけん
Due to various reasons, it has been a long time since the last bottle was opened. It is as delicious as ever.

This is a memorandum as a history of my drinking.

Tenbi純米吟醸 うすにごり 生原酒
たろけん
This will be our second bottle of Momoten this season.
This one was opened in a different tank than the previous one, and I was looking forward to seeing what kind of difference it brewed.
My impression was that it tasted more grapey and sweeter than the previous one in my opinion, just like the usual Tenbi.
It was one of those bottles that made me realize the depth of sake, that the same brand and the same brewing method can be so different depending on the timing.

Koeigikuスノウ•クレッセント 無濾過生原酒
たろけん
It has been a long time since I have had a Koei Kiku.
I have had many sakes with the opening caution ⚠️ and the lid never flew off when I opened the bottle, but this time I was hit.
I was not hurt, but when I went to peel off the surrounding parts to open the bottle, the stopper shot out with such force that it hit me in the chest area. I thought that if it had been near my eye, I would not have been able to underestimate the force of the shot.
As for the sake, it had the strongest bitterness and alcohol taste among all the Koei-Kiku sakes I have ever tasted. The strong fizziness made it feel like a refreshing adult juice, but perhaps because the alcohol content was higher than before, the balance was not as good as before.

Yukinobijin純米吟醸 愛山麹 生
たろけん
I forgot to upload this one as well.
This will be my first Yuki no Bijin.
It is very easy to drink, well balanced, and delicious.
Japanese>English
たろけん
I forgot to upload it.
The combination of sourness and sweetness is more exquisite after a while than right after opening the bottle, which I prefer.
My wife raved that it tasted as good immediately after opening the bottle as it did afterwards.
Japanese>English
たろけん
Suddenly it got cold again, so I went to the liquor store looking for a sake that could be drunk warmed up.
I opened the bottle immediately and drank it heated as planned, and was very satisfied with the taste.
This sake can be enjoyed at a wide range of temperatures, so I will try drinking it cold on hot days.

Sharaku純米大吟醸 しずく取り
たろけん
This time, following the previous Tobiroki, it is another sake from Fukushima Prefecture. It is probably the most expensive sake in our stock in terms of list price.
It is "Sharaku Junmai Daiginjo Shizuku-tori".
My impression of this sake is not a common one, but it is delicious! That is the only word I can use to describe it. The ginjo aroma when the bottle is opened is not so strong, but when you put it in your mouth, I am not sure if the expression is correct, but you can feel the softness and gentleness of the sake, and it passes through your nose beautifully.
I can't say whether it tastes good because it is expensive or whether it is expensive because it tastes good, but in any case, I think it is a very satisfying and enjoyable sake.
Japanese>English
たろけん
This is another sake that I have not had for a long time, Tobiroki.
Although it had been sitting for quite a while since I bought it, it did not change its taste and was very tasty.
The taste is also very good, and I can fully understand why it is a popular sake.

Kamoshibitokuheijiうすにごり 黒田庄産 山田錦
たろけん
This will be the first Kuheiji in a while. This is the first time for me to drink a light nigori, and this one is a return gift from my hometown tax payment.
My impression is that it is delicious.
It is a very well-balanced sake, and I never get tired of it. Although it is a sake, it does not make a strong statement that it is a sake, and I felt that it is the kind of sake that makes me want to drink more and more of it.

Tenbi純米吟醸 うすにごり 生原酒
たろけん
We opened a bottle of "Momoten", a.k.a. "Momoten".
It had more of a slightly effervescent feel than expected, and felt very fresh. It was less grapey than the regular Tenbi, and the bitterness seemed to be slightly more pronounced than the sweetness.
For me, I prefer a more mellow taste, so I am looking forward to seeing how the taste will change in the future since it is a nama-zake.
