The bottle was opened yesterday. It is the first bottle of Isshaku-Suisei. My impression was that it was full, sweet, spicy, and sharp, with a lot of the umami of the rice. It has a full-bodied sweetness and a dry, crisp taste. It is also an excellent food sake that does not interfere with meals.

Attracted by the Hidahomare sake rice from Gifu Prefecture, we purchased a bottle and opened it immediately. When I opened the bottle, the first thing I noticed was the smell of rum. I first drank it cold, and although I could tell it was a dry sake, I had the impression that it was not very distinctive. The next time I drank it heated, which is a popular drink at my house, my impression completely changed. The umami, sweetness, slight acidity, and fullness of the rice came out in full force, and since it is basically a dry sake, it did not interfere with the meal at all, making it a very tasty sake that we were very satisfied with. When I looked online, I found that there were very few stores around here that carried this sake, so I am grateful to the sake gods that I was able to have a chance encounter with it.

I had just opened a bottle of Isobojimai the other day, but I wanted to drink a sweet sake as well, so I bought this one in a hurry and opened it immediately. According to what I heard at the liquor store, special junmai sake can be heated up and still taste good, but junmai ginjo and above have a slight odor when heated, so I wondered what to expect. I was not so sure, but I dared to try heating it up, which is my favorite way to drink sake. The conclusion was that the umami was more pronounced and the strength of the omachi could be felt very well, so I was satisfied with the taste. I noticed that Nabeshima had overtaken Shinshu Kamerei to become the No. 2 checked-in ranking in our house.

This is one of the bottles I purchased in the limited edition set at the end of the year. This is my first bottle of Isojiman. My first impression of Isojiman was that it was a refreshing sake, since most of the sake I have tasted recently have been relatively sweet and tasty. As other reviewers have said, it is a sake that goes well with raw fish such as sushi and sashimi. Today, I drank it with simmered taro and sardines simmered in ume plum paste for Setsubun, and enjoyed the contrast between the refreshing and rich flavors.

I forgot to upload it. The taste is as good as ever, but this time there is a slight bitterness at the end. This time, however, the bitterness is stronger at the end.

Thank you for your comment, Eririn. As I recall, we received your comment when we opened and uploaded this bottle the two previous times. It's a coincidence that the timing is the same twice. Thank you very much 🤗.

This is the first Shinsei in a long time. This is also one of the bottles that was in the New Year's gift box. We decided to open this bottle today because we had gratin for dinner. It has been a really long time, so I am really looking forward to it.

Today, we opened a bottle of this sake that was included in the New Year's gift box. We were a little disappointed that the sake we were looking for was not included in this year's gift box, but we were able to taste the richness of the rice and the crispness of the sake, which made it delicious. It also has a sweet taste, so today I drank it with broiled eel, and I thought it would go well with a sweet and spicy meal.

Today, we opened this bottle. This is the first time for us to drink Ihyakumangoku from the Nabeshima lineup. My impression was that it was more refreshing than I had expected, and that the umami was less pronounced than I had expected for Nabeshima. As it is a draft sake, we expect the taste to change after the bottle is opened, so we are looking forward to the changes in the future.

I was going to open a bottle of this Ise Jingu limited edition after the new year, but my family insisted and I ended up opening it. It had not been brewed in a long time, but it was still very tasty, and I was very satisfied with the taste, which was different from the Hana-yosu that I opened the other day. We drank it while eating oden, crab and soba noodles, and it was very good as a food sake.

We have opened two bottles of Nabeshima in a row. Today, we opened this bottle, which is highly rated by word of mouth. First, I drank it cold. There was not much fizz, just a slight tingling sensation on the tongue. The freshness is fully felt and the sweetness is relatively strong. Since it is a pure sake, you can feel the alcohol taste, but it is not as much as we expected and is quite easy to drink. After this, I plan to drink it warmed, which is my boom, and I am very much looking forward to seeing what it will look like.

I was able to purchase this bottle, which I had missed out on, so I opened it immediately. First, I drank it cold. It had Nabeshima's characteristic umami, but not much sweetness, and at the end, I felt a relatively strong bitterness. Next, we tried it hot. The bitterness disappeared and there was a slight spiciness at the end. I drank it with yudofu (tofu), and I think it is a good sake as a mealtime drink that does not interfere with the meal.

We opened a bottle of this one yesterday. It was as delicious as it was reputed to be, with a bubbly and noticeably silky taste that was very satisfying. This year's Amami nigori was also unsurpassed in taste. Today, I am going to try it heated, which has been my recent boom.

Since we purchased a sake warmer, heated sake has been booming in our house, so we opened this bottle today. The last bottle of Shinshu Kamerei that we opened last time was the last today, so we compared them as they are the same Junmai sake. We compared them by heating them up, and Nabeshima seemed to have a stronger pungency when heated up, probably due to its higher sake content. I think Nabeshima has a more traditional sake-like taste, although there is a difference between Hitogokochi and Yamada-Nishiki rice. Both are delicious sakes, and I found them to be excellent as food sake that does not interfere with meals.

Today, we opened a bottle of this sake, which has recently become very hard to purchase. It is an unfiltered, unfiltered, unblended sake made from Hitogokochi, one of our favorite rice varieties among Shinshu Kamerei sake. I heated it up with a sake warmer that I just bought, and it was surprisingly delicious, showing the high potential of Shinshu Kamerei. Basically, I think it is best to drink nama-shu cold, but in cold weather, warming it up brings out a different side of the sake and broadens the range of ways to enjoy it.

Today, since we purchased a sake heater, we went to purchase this sake, which can be enjoyed cold or hot, and opened the bottle immediately. Since it is a new sake this year, I thought it would be a waste to heat it up, but it turned out to be a great decision as I was able to enjoy a variety of flavors in one sake. When cold, this sake was cool, slightly effervescent, and fruity, but as the temperature went up from lukewarm to hot, the fullness of the rice and spiciness became more pronounced, giving it a different flavor. I usually drink my sake cold, so I prefer it chilled, but today I found it very tasty lukewarm, which was a new discovery for me.

Today, I opened a bottle of this sake that I had purchased and kept in stock. It is an unfiltered, unfiltered, pure Yamadanishiki special junmai sake, which is my favorite of the Genmai brand. Last year I was not able to purchase it due to a lack of luck, but this year I was lucky enough to purchase it twice. As I mentioned in a previous update, it has a delicious flavor of rice, sweetness, and just a hint of bitterness. And the price is reasonable. If I can purchase this sake again next year, I will definitely buy it.

We have opened a bottle of this year's new Kuroten. This is the "Amami! It is a very tasty sake with a fresh, slightly effervescent, grape-like flavor, and more than enough of the characteristics of Tenbi. There is nothing else to say, we are very satisfied.
