I was lured into buying it by a pop-up saying it was the liquor store clerk's number one seller. Kamokin is said to use Omachi in many cases, but this bottle was a challenge to Aizan. It is said that Aizan is a rice that melts more easily than Omachi, making it peppy and difficult to handle.
It tastes fruity, like banana, melon, and peach, and is very mild, fresh, and delicious. After opening the bottle, the fruity flavor was strong, but after a week or so, it seemed to have calmed down somewhat.
It is said to be made with the No. 9 series yeast, and No. 9 has a low acidity. I think it would go well with fresh cheese.

Houou Mita "Anniversary" 2024, which was purchased last week, was opened immediately.
The sake rice and specifications are undisclosed, but you can answer the questions by turning over the card hanging on the bottle.
Was this the first time you drank it? I couldn't guess because of the sake rice, but the taste was not the fruity Hououmida I have a strong image of, but rather a clean, structured flavor!

Stocking up since I haven't been able to visit liquor stores recently.
The first bottle without hesitation was Daimine
It has a very beautiful sweet and tasty acidity, and tastes like a refined Shine Muscat!
I was also able to buy a bottle of Winter Otosore, which was shipped on the same day, so I am looking forward to opening it next time!

Hakutsuru-Nishiki is a rice developed by Hakutsuru Sake Brewery, and is probably a kind of sibling rice crossed with Yamadanishiki, which is a cross between Yamadaho and Watabune. The fact that it has been reduced to 33% means that it can only be a good sake by any stretch of the imagination.
When we drank it, the acidity was as low as ever, and it contained a little melon-like nuance in the peach flavor. The taste is as stable as ever, typical of Kudokutei. It can be drunk with peace of mind.
It is delicious on its own, and it would be interesting to drink it with cream cheese.

Pure Black is Yamamoto's flagship sake. While there are various seasonal sake, we believe that our standard sake is the most spirited. It is the face of the brewery.
This sake was created by Mr. Yamamoto, the brewery's head brewer, who went through a lot of trial and error while the brewery was in the bottom of its management and the toji retired. The story is first and foremost muneatsu.
When you drink it, you can taste a slight citrus acidity along with umami. It is an extremely good sake that is easy to drink, with a slight sweetness and no unpleasant alcohol taste at all. The intent is to have a "sharp sharpness like a Japanese sword. I see, it does not have a sweetness.
It is said to go well with cream cheese and iburi goko (pickled ginger). It certainly seems to go well with them. It is very tasty!

It is the season for new sake. The new sake from Akabu is now available; the "F" stands for "For you" in "For you....
The rice is made from edible Hitomebore rice, or something like that. However, do not underestimate it. It has a fruity melon sweetness and a clean taste that does not leave too much aftertaste. It is fresh and extremely tasty!
Does Iwate yeast have a melon-like flavor? I also found similar flavors in other varieties of Akabu. Whatever it is, it is insanely delicious. I think it would go well with white meat fish sashimi.

Today is supposed to be Halloween, but I accidentally opened a bottle of Monster without knowing that at all. I still don't know what Halloween is!
The aroma is quite gorgeous. I wonder what it smells like...flowery? The gasiness is slight.
It is darker and sweeter than usual Akabu. Then, there is a sharp acidity. It is quite strong.
The strong sweetness and acidity is followed by a strong alcohol taste.
It is stronger and darker than the usual seasonal Akabu. Yet, it still has the usual Akabu feel to it. It is unique!

Red version of my favorite Houou Mita
I opened the bottle and felt a sense of maturity, so I noticed that the month of shipment was half a year ago, although it was an unfiltered unpasteurized sake purchased on the same day,
I could enjoy the good matured aroma, but I prefer not to let the red version sit too long......,
I would like to check the shipping date at my favorite liquor store in the future!

Following the recent Kijo-zake, this is another sake made from rice.
The aroma is banana and citrus. The aroma is banana and citrus, and although it is probably not fresh, it has a gassy feeling.
The sweetness is rich and not too strong, but very satisfying. The sweetness is more impressive than the sourness.
The acidity is followed by a sharp pungency, and then it ends with a long finish. Surprisingly, it has a long aftertaste.
This is indeed my favorite! It is delicious. But I still want to drink Yoshida's kijoshu. I wonder when the next one will be released.

It is now the season for Kudoki-ue's Yuki-Jinja. Snow Goddess is a rice produced in Yamagata Prefecture and is suitable for highly polished Junmai Daiginjo. I myself love sake made with Snow Goddess, so I had high expectations for this one. This one is a bit surprisingly highly polished at 29%.
When I drank it, I found it to be a true Kudo Ute. It has a mildly sweet taste with little acidity. The peachiness of the kudoki-ish taste comes out well. I have the impression that the characteristics are especially strong in the Yuki no Meishin.
It seems to go well with white sauce and other mildly sweet dishes, but considering that it is to be drunk chilled, it should be served at a reasonably low temperature. Maybe a cold potage? It is also delicious as a stand-alone alcoholic beverage.

I've been buying Masamune instrumental inexpensively and fruity more often lately, and Queen is a low-alcohol type at 12 degrees, something about it being a card-carrying Queen.
Was the yellowish-green label of the label dragging down my impression of the flavor? It tastes like muscat and fresh melon. It has a moderate sweetness and can be drunk like a juice. This is delicious.
It is recommended to be served chilled, and fresh cheese would go well with it.

Thank you for your comment, Cherry. I am not good at expressing myself, so please forgive me, but my personal impression is that the initial taste is clean and fruity, but with a gentle sweet and sour taste.

Thanks for the reply, I bought it on the recommendation of the liquor store I went to in the evening, but I thought your comments would be helpful, so here is my first reply.
Thanks for your response, looking forward to drinking it tomorrow😊.

Yoshida Kurau's Kijoshu is a must buy deal!
The aroma is muscat and citrus, with a bit of cemedine added to it, which I can't get enough of.... A little gasiness.
Every time I drink Yoshida Kurau's kijoshu, the sweetness is exquisitely strong, and there is none of the typical kudos of kijoshu. The stimulating acidity that follows is even better!
The finish is refreshing, leaving a gentle sweetness and acidity. It is even fresher when chilled!
I wonder if my wish has been granted because they have been consistently releasing kijoshu lately lol! Thank you!
