TENON ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Soyashi Mizuhashi Junmai Ginjo-shu
Polishing ratio 60%, ALC 15
Yeast: Shimane K1
I had no idea that mizu-hashiro is also called "Bodai-moto", a sake making method developed in medieval Japan.
Bodai-moto is a method of producing sour water called "Soyashimizu" and using that sour water to grow sake mother 🥸.
I think the difference is probably due to the different method of growing the sake mother, but it has a slightly peculiar taste🤨.
I also felt the sake had a strong acidity. I think it has a strong acidity.
Maybe if you taste it with warmed sake, the corners will be removed and the taste will change to mellower 😃.

Shichisui ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Junmai Ginjo 55, 100% Omachi
Polishing ratio 55%, ALC 16
My first Nanamizu was a Kijoshu, a very sweet sake, so I was very nervous to try the Junmai Ginjoshu 😄.
Slightly sweet aroma, green apple, pear 😅.
I haven't eaten green apple🍏, pear🍐, pineapple🍍, banana🍌, etc. lately, so maybe I don't know the difference in aroma and taste anymore😁.
The taste is a bit slow or mellow...I felt more fullness than sharpness.
The aftertaste is smooth and delicious 🥰.

Special Junmai Sake ⭐️⭐️⭐️
Polishing ratio 60%, ALC 15 degrees
It is a dry sake with a full-bodied and slightly bitter taste.
Tonight will be the 5th sake, but there are still a few more to try for the first time tonight, so let's slow down a little and keep drinking more!

Summer Kasumi ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 100% Yumesansui from Aichi Prefecture
Junmai Ginjyo Nama-Genshu, Polishing ratio 55%, ALC 16%.
This is a slightly sweet sake with a delightful nama-genshu shuwashu sensation.
It is a perfect summer sake.
Chigasaki Toto: 20230511
Koueikiku Twilight Orange⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Unfiltered raw sake, unpolished rice ratio not disclosed, ALC 13%.
Slightly sweet sake with a hint of malted rice aroma and orange flavor in the mouth as the name suggests 😘.
It has low alcohol content, so you can drink it as a summer sake 🥰.
Chigasaki Toto: 20230511
Junmai Nama-shu (pure rice) unfiltered unpasteurized sake from the traditional sake brewing process ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
100% Yamadanishiki produced in Ikeda-cho, Gifu Prefecture
Rice grown by Mr. and Mrs. Notsuna
Polishing ratio 70%, ALC 17-18
No yeast added Sake meter value +8 Acidity 2.3
It is a dry and crisp sake with a subtle fruity aroma and moderate acidity and umami in the mouth 😘.
It easily washed away the spiciness of the [octopus nishigi-gi] we were having as a side dish 😋.
After the Mitomiku, it feels even more refreshing 💦.

Mifuku Summer Goldfish Label⭐️⭐️⭐️
Summer Junmai Nigori Sake brewed with Yamahai
Polishing ratio 60%, ALC 15
When the master brought a bottle to me, I was so shocked that I couldn't help but exclaim, "What's that? I was so shocked that I couldn't help but shout "What's that?
I was expecting a refreshing ogara-mi to slightly darker nigori sake from the brand name "Mitomiku" and the "Summer Goldfish Label Nigori Sake" 😅.
As soon as it was poured into the glass, it looked like a sloppy dobrok. For a moment, I thought it was not at the level of nigori sake 🧐.
But when I drank it, it was surprisingly a clear, refreshing sake with an acidic, non-greasy taste 😋.
The gap between the brand name and the prettiness of the label is huge 🥳.

Junmai Ginjo-shu Unfiltered Nama-shu
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Rice polishing ratio 55%, ALC 18%.
There is almost no aroma, and the taste is so super dry that you know it is a dry sake the moment you take a sip.
It has a sharp, yet sturdy, slightly firm taste.

Special Junmai Sake 100% Yamadanishiki from Fukuoka Prefecture
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Polishing ratio 60%, ALC 15
Room temperature: We served this sake at room temperature (chilled) before heating it up.
It was smooth, slightly dry, and had no peculiarities.
Warmed sake
We had it hot. I was surprised. It went from being a smooth sake to a mellow sake with a flavor that was both delicious and sharp.
Once again, I was reminded of the depth of sake.

Junmai Shiboritate Nama-nama Sake 100% Kyoto rice, Kyo-no-Teru
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Polishing ratio 68%, ALC 17
Slightly dry and sharp with a touch of acidity.
Perhaps because a little time has passed since the bottle was opened, the carbonation characteristic of nama-shu is hardly noticeable.
Chigasaki Toto: 20230208
Junmai Ginjo-shu Shushitate Nama-shu
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
100% Gohyakumangoku from Fukui Prefecture Polishing ratio koji rice 55
Kake rice 58%, ALC 14%.
I checked in twice by mistake and deleted one of them. We apologize to all those who have "liked" it.
It is a dry sake with a unique flavor and a slightly acidic taste.
The aroma of ginjo spreads as it warms up in the mouth.
To drink it up right away is to miss the opportunity to enjoy the seven changes of sake.
Another way to enjoy it.

SHISORA Junmai Ginjo-shu Unfiltered Unrefined Unmixed Sake
⭐️⭐️⭐️
Shiwa Shuzoten Shiwa-machi, Shiwa-gun, Iwate
Ginga-Shizuku 100%, Polishing ratio 15
Shiwa Shuzoten is a small brewery with four brewers, and Hiromi Ono, the first female head brewer of the Nanbu Toji clan, brewed this sake.
Tonight's snacks at Chigasaki SAKE Toto were natural yellowtail ryukyuu and a Yamagata specialty, boiled beans.
The brand name on the wall of the restaurant allows you to enjoy a new encounter with sake 😋.
I think it is a sweet sake, with a subtle fruity aroma. A little too sweet for my taste 😞.

Thank you very much for your valuable information 😄I first encountered Murasaki Uchu at a familiar izakaya, so I will try to find a Miyamanishiki Murasaki Uchu 😥 I will try to find it by visiting sake stores in Chigasaki. I'll try to find a sake shop in Chigasaki.
