学生時代から日本酒に親しみ、現在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。

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.

Glorious Mt.Fuji純米大吟醸 極超新星 (HIPER NOVA)

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!

I enjoyed the other Mimurosugi, so this time I ordered a junmai ginjo made from 100% Watafune-2, a rare variety of rice. When I put the glass close to my mouth, it had an elegant aroma like white peaches, a refreshing acidity, and a fruity taste. It was a limited edition with a reasonable price.

I bought it because it used my son's name, Chihito. It is gassy, sweet and sour. It is tasty enough. Still, the regular price is 1,300 yen. I think it is one of the best cosmetics sake I drank.

I drank a Daiginjo, a light nigori unfiltered raw sake. It was so raw that the cork blew out when I opened the bottle immediately after taking it out of the refrigerator. It was a great decision for me to make this my 200th commemorative brewery bottle. The aroma when you put the glass close to the bottle. It is one of the best cospa sake for me, a weekend drinker, because the regular price is less than 2,000 yen for this taste.

Since it is a noble sake, I wondered if it would be as sweet as other sake breweries I have tried. I thought it might not be as sweet as other sake breweries I've had, but it was delicious and not too sweet. Perhaps it is the result of the ban on resale, but at my favorite liquor store, you can buy it at a fixed price, albeit in limited quantities, even though it is sold on a point system. My wife, who doesn't know much about the taste of sake, had to have another glass of this easy-to-drink sake.

Sake from Gunma Prefecture. I drank it for the first time. When we opened the package, it had a high aroma, sourness and sweetness that was highly appreciated by our family. The price of the bottle is reasonable, but it needs to be temperature-controlled, so we had to pay for shipping. I am satisfied with the taste.

This is the sake of the family of Yumi Karahashi, who appears in the sports corner of Sunday Morning. I think it's reasonably priced and cosmopolitan!

I drank Junmai Daiginjo. The taste is different between the black label and the white label. It seems to change depending on each person's taste. The price was reasonable and I was satisfied!

I compared three kinds of sake. The purchase price was a little higher than a normal sake, but the taste and aroma were very Dewazakura. The sake rice is not Yamadanishiki, but this is one product that makes you think you don't need to be concerned about Yamadanishiki. It's a must buy when you see it.

By the way, the two bottles we compared were Koshino Kanbai Junmai Daiginjo and Kubota Manju.
