A summery series by Akabu, a bit different from Air or Sea, a mysterious series...
The scent is refreshing. It's hard to describe, but it's a bit citrusy. No gassiness.
The sweetness comes in strong and juicy, and then the acidity changes it to a refreshing atmosphere.
After the acidity, the umami comes on top and finishes pleasantly.
It is a little more classical than usual, but it's really good. It's been a while since I've had a sake that tastes like sake.
The jacket looks like it was made in the summer! But I think it would be good to drink after autumn!

It's been a few years since I've had a taste of Kamikawa Taisetsu. I bought it for the first time in a long time, knowing that this white malted rice product has a good reputation.
The aroma is citrusy, lactic acidic, and a bit candy-like with a thick atmosphere. There is almost no gassiness.
It has a strong sweetness and a strong acidity. It is quite unique.
The acidity is strong and finishes strong.
The acidity power of white yeast malt is amazing. It is a summer bottle. It also has a good amount of Yamahai flavor, so it is recommended for those who like it.

This is a sake specially made for liquor stores within the Masamune Instrument family. It is said to be unfiltered and unpasteurized to take full advantage of its flavor. Since Musical Instrument Masamune itself produces a high level of sake with aluzoe, we have high expectations for this one as well.
The taste is fruity, which is not often seen in other sake, and at 13% low alcohol, it is easy to drink too much of it. It has a mild sweetness like mango, peach, or banana, with a rather light aftertaste.
This is one of my personal favorites. I recommend it to those who like modern, fruity flavors. It reminded me once again of the high level of the instrument Masamune. This is amazing.

I haven't had much luck with Akabu's rice series, but I've heard rave reviews from colleagues at work and have high expectations.
The first sip of the cold brew was delicious! I just couldn't stop myself from saying it.
The aroma is mild, and I'm not sure what kind, but it's refreshing. No gassy feeling.
The sweetness and sourness are perfectly balanced. It is like drinking Jikin.
In the latter half, the acidity continues pleasantly, and it finishes quickly.
It is as good as it is rumored to be. It is especially great when it is cold.

Hououmida's limited edition sake!
It's delicious, but it's not as good as I expected considering the cost performance!
I was wondering if I should have bought the Takachiyo or the Houou Mita...?

This sake was marketed as a special edition by a liquor store, with the intention of helping Ishikawa Prefecture recover from the earthquake disaster. Tengu Mai is a sake that I usually don't touch because I have the impression that it is too heavy. This one is a Yamahai sake, which means it is a darker version than the low-alcohol versions that are popular these days.
When I tried it, it was easier to drink than I had imagined. It does have the robust backbone and alcohol content of Yamahai, but it is quite tasty in its own way. The sweetness is also somewhat present, but the acidity is kept in check, and the melon and banana flavors are mixed with the gusto of the alcohol and the richness of the Yamahai.
The liquor store's recommendation is to drink it on the rocks. It is true that it is easier to drink with ice and a little water. This kind of strong sake is not likely to be defeated by strong-flavored dishes such as Chinese food or curry.

I recognize it as the orikara portion of sake for the sake competition. The specs are quite impressive: Banshu Yamadanishiki is used, Fukuro-hari is used, and the rice is cut down to 35% for daiginjo. It seems to be a very limited edition.
It is quite rich because it is an orikarami. It was a bit hard when just opened, but after a few days, its mild, fruity sweetness became more pronounced. Is it the sweetness of melon or banana without any tune? The weak acidity seems to be a sign of a good taste.
Somehow, this sake makes me want to pair it with mellow and rich foods such as cream cheese. It is incredibly good.

It is a slightly sparkling "orikarami" with the specifications of Chiebijin Junmai-shu, which won the "President's Award" at the "KURA MASTER" held in Paris, France. The reason for the rabbit is that it is a sake made by a rabbit lover. The label is also stylish.
It is a slightly tangy, cloudy, thick sake. It is mildly sweet with a hint of apricot. It is fruity, but the acidity is not that strong and quite delicious.
Camembert goes quite well with it. I think it goes well with meat as well. This is quite tasty.

It's May and I'm groggy after an unusually hot weekend...,
At times like this, we open a bottle of our favorite summer sake!
Daimine 3 grains Summer no tidings
I usually don't see this sake at my favorite liquor store because they are always sold out, but when I stopped by a liquor store on business, I found a lot of sake on the shelves, so I took some home!
The snow woman that is sold at Omine in the winter is also delicious, but the summer otsukiri is also delicious!
It had a refreshing grapefruit-like sweetness with a bitter aftertaste that blew away the heat!
Since it was the weekend, I opened two bottles of Omine that I had stocked in the momentum, too, in another check-in,

It's been a long time since I bought it, but tonight I opened a bottle of Tsuchida's oddball.
Wow, it's unique. A very dark, bright yellow sake.
Half-wits like myself can't take it head-on! So, referring to Tsuchida's installations, I tried a sake cocktail or a sake sour this time.
The first drink was a sake tonic made with Tsuchida and tonic water! The strong sweet and sour taste of Tsuchida combined with the bitterness of the tonic made me gulp it down!
The second drink was a sake lemon sour with Tsuchida, lemon soda water, and Pokka lemon! Again, the sweetness of the Tsuchida was combined with the refreshing acidity of the lemon, and it went well with the nabe (hot pot) we had for dinner!
This is a great way to drink sake! Highly recommended!

Rich but also refreshing and muscat-like. It is a bit heavy. A little heavy. It would be especially good for a second drink.
