First brand, Hanzo.
I bought it because it was recommended as delicious.
When I put it in my mouth, I felt sweet fruits,
berry flavor spread in the mouth.
I thought it was a sweet sake,
Then the bitterness gradually appears and disappears.
There are changes in the first half and the second half,
The impression is very crisp and clear. It was delicious.

Finally get my hands on a local sake, Tensei.
The sake rice is called Sake Mirai, which is to be expected.
Aroma and taste of citrus fruits,
It has a citrus fruit aroma and taste, rice sweetness, and a sharp sharpness,
The finish is well-balanced, neither too sweet nor too spicy.
Delicious.
I had it as a stand-alone sake,
It is very good as a food sake.

Hi Jay & Nobby, ❗️
Thank you 😊
I was put off by a brand that was relatively available locally 🤣 I see that the first Kanagawa sake was Tensei!
For some reason I'm glad to hear that, as most people say Izumihashi 😂 lol.

I'm having a hard time finding Zanso Hourai's standard dry Junmai, when is it released every year? Aside from that, I was finally able to buy Mochizuki Shoten PB!
It is probably not very sweet by design to begin with. But the umami is quite robust, and although it is very drinkable, combined with the alcohol, it is easy to drink at a light 13 degrees Celsius.
It is between medium and dry, and its acidity makes it even fruity, so it has a white wine-like flavor.
Among the recent wines I have had, Takezumi's tank-kuchi naojume is very similar! The other two I have had so far are the 2022 Matsunotoshi Omachi Unfiltered Unrefined Nama-shu and the 2022 Shoryu Horai Kimoto Omachi Tank-guchi Naojime, which also seems to be very similar.
Banana, melon, rummy aroma, strong umami and acidity, weak sweetness and standing aroma...I like this kind of sake...in the end! LOL!
I don't remember much because I drank it all up so fast and after finishing it, I regret why I didn't warm it up... It must have been delicious because it's not a glamorous umami type sake... I'll save it for the next time I drink it...! I will save it for the next time I drink it!

This is the first rice wine of the year.
It has been difficult to obtain it recently,
Finally, we got it.
We will take good care of it because of the situation.
It has been a long time since I have had this sake, and it is just like rice wine.
A good amount of sweetness and bitterness.
A wonderful balance.
I want to take good care of it, but it's so good that the sake just keeps getting better and better,
I want to drink it with care, but it is so delicious that the sake keeps on being drunk.
I have had several kinds of tazake,
I have had several kinds of Tazake, but I think I like this one the best in terms of quality, cost performance, and so on,
I think I like this white label the best.
I wonder when I will be able to see it again...

Good morning, Jay & Nobby ❗️

I have a friend who got into sake last year, and we decided to go shopping for premium sake with him, but neither of us is only interested in that, and we both wanted to buy other sake as well, so we decided to introduce each other's sake recommendations. Here is one of them.
It has a gorgeous tropical aroma, as recommended by my friend who loves hana-yori. Surprisingly, it also has an alcoholic aroma, so it seems to be tasty and drinkable!
It has a freshness that may or may not come with a slight sizzle. It has a cider-like flavor, which may be due to the characteristics of the alcohol. It also has a pineapple cider-like flavor due to the capoechi-style ginjo aroma that everyone loves.
At first impression, it was a typical good pineapple type sake, but once I discovered the cider taste, the saké went on and on and on and on. Sake like this tends to peak at the beginning, but I was surprised at how the flavor increased!
So this was a Gassan brewery to begin with! I had avoided drinking sake since I drank a classic hi-iru sake when I first started drinking sake, but as expected from a famous brewery, it was delicious!
