学生時代から日本酒に親しみ、2021年1月で112の蔵元の酒を呑んでます。残念ながら味は何となくしか覚えていません。まあ、昔とは味わいも変わっているので、飲み直しをぼちぼちしたいと思ってます。北海道から沖縄県の全県制覇完了。コスパの良い酒、たまには少し高めの酒探してます

Glorious Mt.Fuji純米大吟醸 無濾過生原酒 MAGA 原始の胎動 赤磐雄町

This is a limited edition sake made from "Akaban Omachi" from Okayama Prefecture, one of my favorite Omachi varieties. It is an elegant, soft sake with a hint of fragrance. The sake level is -5.0, but there is no sweetness. The aroma spreads softly in the mouth. It is served with oysters from Noto, so the sake goes well with them.

Sometimes I buy sake that I don't even know the name of (please forgive me for being rude). It has a refreshing taste and a nostalgic feeling as if I drank it somewhere in the past. Brewer's alcohol, sugar, less than 13-14% alcohol by volume.

Dobrock with vent hole. It can only be stored standing up in the refrigerator. It seems to be a good match for Kame-no-o. It bubbles like cider when poured. No yeast is added. It has a melon-like taste with a gentle flavor. No sticky feeling. 10 brands of Sengoku before the renewal, and after the renewal, 4 brands and 1 unopened brand. I don't know how much Sengkyo I drink, am I a "Sengkyo addict?

I'm drinking this as a reward for my work this week. It is jungin, but the white ratio is 50%. The aroma is very fragrant just by putting your mouth close to the glass, and the hint of aroma is wonderful. It was a very easy to drink.

Since long ago (I first drank Tazake more than 30 years ago), I have an image of Yamahai when I think of Tazake. I think it is a great legacy that it has always tasted so good since then. I think the basic taste is the same. It is still one of the most delicious sake no matter what time of year you drink it.

When I went to a sake shop, I noticed the words "whole tank-furoshiki". It had a nice aroma and sharpness. It was a dark and flavorful sake that went well with meals. Local (Kumamoto Prefecture) sake has also improved and is a pleasure to drink. There are two other junmai ginjos that I would like to try someday.

A gift from my brother-in-law. Typical ginjo aroma, a little dry. Recommended as a food sake. To be honest, the first sip before we ate was ordinary (but I felt it was at a reasonable level). But once we started eating, it started to taste good. It is one of the best sake with a satisfying taste. I have never had a sake that changed my opinion so much.

Hakkaisan for the first time in over a decade. Basically, it is still the same light and dry taste as it has always been. It has a nice aroma and a good sharpness. It is one of the sake that can be purchased with peace of mind.

This is the first Kabishin I have had in several decades. It has a nice aroma and a tight aftertaste. Some people say it has a sweet taste, but it is refreshing and not too sweet. 16%, 58% of the white ratio.

The back of the bottle has a note that reads, "㊟Beware that this sake sometimes has "outliers". Ingredients not disclosed. This brand is said to make only one tank of this sake every year, and the production process is also changed. It has a banana-like aroma with hints of banana. It has a banana-like aroma with hints of incense and a clean finish.

The first brewing of the renewed Sengoku in 2024. The "Arabashiri", "Nakadori", and "Seste" were sold according to the time when they were bottled directly from the first tank. This time, we purchased the first "Arabashiri" and the last "Seme" to compare. The Arabashiri was cloudy and had a white grape-like "The Sentori" taste. The Seme was juicy with a calm taste. It was more like the classic Sentori of the previous year. My biggest regret is that I should have compared the "Nakadori" as well. I had other sake in the fridge and there was no space. 😅 Wishing everyone a happy new year!

Refining ratio: Kame-no-o 90%, 14 degrees. Kijo-zake brewed with last year's organic naturals instead of brewing water. There is no sweetness at all. The aroma is of ripe banana or melon. It has a mild taste. It is brewed in a wooden vat and completely additive-free. It is fire-aged. SENKYO never betrays its customers.

It is light with just the right amount of sweetness. I followed the prohibition against opening the bottle after stirring and storing the bottle on its side, but about 10ml spilled out, which I guess was inevitable. I guess it was inevitable that there is an air hole on the stopper. The rice used is Domaine Sakura Yamadanishiki, 13% alc.

I was born and raised in Kumamoto Prefecture and have a connection with Eiko-Fuji. The brewery is owned by a descendant of Kiyomasa Kato's son who was exiled to Tsuruoka City. It is one of my favorite breweries because of its delicious taste. This time it is a Junmai Daiginjo made from "Setsuwakamaru," a new variety from Yamagata Prefecture. It is a very limited edition. It is more dry and aromatic. The taste retains the old Eiko-Fuji flavor. It is so easy to drink that even my wife, who is not much of a sake drinker, had to have another glass. And yet, it is priced at 2,090 yen. It is also top class in terms of cost performance. If you can find it, it is a "must buy" item!

New brand of Sentori. I was curious to see how it would turn out after the renewal, so I was excited to buy it. It is made from one of my favorite sake rice, Kame-no-o. It has a high fruity aroma and mellow sweetness, and was well received in my household. SENKYO fans, don't worry. The basic taste is the same as SENKYO.

One of the sake that got me hooked on sake was Tasake. When I opened the bottle, I could smell the strong fruity aroma from the bottle. I enjoyed it with my family, feeling the lightness and the richness of Yamahai. My wife, who does not drink a lot of sake, had several refills (not that she is a sake lover), so everyone found the sake to be delicious. I was happy to see that my wife, who is not much of a sake drinker, had several refills of sake (not that she particularly likes sake), and I was not a fan of sake since I was poured only heated sake (as a favor) at the end of a party when I was a student more than 40 years ago. I happened to see in the newspaper that a liquor store near my lodgings had 100 different kinds of sake, and one of the sake I chose was Tasake. It's amazing how highly rated it has been ever since then.

The fourth type of Kuheiji was my favorite, Omachi. When I put my mouth close to the glass, the aroma was strong but not overpowering. Today's dish was my wife's homemade hamburger steak, but the flavor was unbeatable. It was fruity and tasted just like "Omachi"!

It is rather dry, but the aroma when you open the bottle is quite strong. The aroma when you put the glass close to the bottle is also good, with a classic yet modern flavor. 1,650 yen, I am very impressed with the price for this flavor!
