Kubota千寿吟醸原酒生酒
alt 1alt 2
bouken
The last of the alcoholic beverages bought at the Sake Expo! I opened Hanayuki and wasn't going to open it, but for some reason (not a refrigerator problem), I opened it. It has a powerful and strong flavor, partly because it is 19 degrees Celsius. It's rich, umami, and delicious. It's not very sweet, but it's very different from Senju's hi-iru, which is very interesting. It is very spicy when you drink it again. It's the opposite of "light and dry" dry sake. I think it gets sweeter the longer it's been open.

Purchased at the Sake Expo I've been curious about Hanayuki's unfiltered unpasteurized sake for a while. It has a rich sweetness like a kijoshu. It is like a honey apple, and the second half is a little alcoholic. I drank hi-ire sake before, but I think hi-ire sake was easier to drink. I got the impression that it is not a modern sweet sake, but a classic sweet sake. I had the impression that it was a little sweeter when I tasted it, but the atmosphere in the second half might be a little too much for me. But as the temperature rose, the second half became easier to drink.

A sake brewery near Dogo Onsen. Like Saka and Motomasa, it was purchased at the Sake Expo in Harukas. They were sold out of 4 bottles so I got the Sandesi 😁. Seems like Dogo beer is more famous than sake 🤔. The top aroma is fruity. It has a refreshing yet tropical sweet taste. Sakurahime yeast is a yeast from a flower called Delphinium 🪻.

Hi Nemuchi 😃 It's a light drinker and I could linger on it forever 🤣. I think I'll open it tonight and perhaps next time it will go in a different direction 🤔. I'm looking forward to your review of this positive 😁.

Koshinotsuru本正 亀口直取り純米吟醸原酒生酒無濾過

bouken
Purchased at the Sake Expo in Harukas. Like Saka, I heard from Nemuchi that he recommended it beforehand 😁. It's not on the label, but it's a fresh, gassy sake. It is fresh and gassy. It has just the right amount of sweetness and spiciness, not flashy but delicious. Some people may like it better than Yamashiroya. I think it becomes sweeter and more umami when it is a little closer to room temperature than when it is fresh out of the fridge. The quality of sake is quite different from that of Yamashiroya, but I personally prefer Koshinotsuru. I have the impression that Yamashiroya tastes great right out of the bottle, but the taste changes so much that I gradually come to dislike it.

Sake purchased at the Sake Expo at Kintetsu Department Store Moderately sweet, but overall strong alcohol taste. Complex and a little nutty in the second half. The impression is quite different from that of the tasting, which was sweet and tasty, but I guess that's what it's supposed to be. Like Nemuchi's review, I wonder if it was tasting magic 🤔. I thought it had juicy fruitiness like apples and muscats when I drank it again. But the nuttiness is very strong.

It uses hops in addition to rice and koji as ingredients, and is what is called a craft sake. As such, it is not considered sake under the Sake Tax Law. It has a refreshing, slightly carbonated taste, making it an easy drink even for those who are not comfortable with sake. It is also good as an aperitif.

Kマート
Made from Yamagata Prefecture's "Yuki-No-Majin" rice suitable for sake brewing. Fruity is the only word that comes to mind. It also has a moderate acidity and a refreshing taste. This was a glass at the eat-in space at the Sake Expo, and I think you will enjoy a different flavor if you let it settle for a few days after opening the bottle.

Sake Expo 2025 SAKE EXPO⑭ Last but not least, Shojo, it's been a super long time since I've been to Shojo. I think it's been since we tasted it at Harukas in 2019 or so. According to Nemuchi's advance information, all of them are aged for one year this time! I drank Zendoiki Junmai Ginjo Unfiltered Nama-shu Clean and a little fruity, with a sense of ripeness. Myodo-ki Junmai Unfiltered Nama-shu It has just the right amount of sweetness, but also has a strong umami flavor. Gogo Onigami Junmai Ginjo Unfiltered Nama-shu It felt lighter on the palate, but not as sweet as the first two. Koukaku Junmai Daiginjo Unfiltered Nama-shu Forgot to take a picture💦. I bought and drank this in the past. I reviewed it as nutty back then, but this time it seemed pretty sweet and tasty. I think I drank some of the later demons too 🤔. I couldn't talk to the brewer because there were people there all the time talking 😅 There are many more breweries I haven't tried but that's it for this time!

Sake Expo 2025 SAKE EXPO⑬ ONKYO Booth I was curious about Kunimei, so I tried to drink it. They said they didn't prepare the one without music playing, so I couldn't compare... It was sweeter and a little more modern than the Junmai I've bought at Yodobashi in the past. I was surprised because I imagined it to be rough and dry. I don't know if it's the effect of the music or if it originally tastes like this 🤔.

Sake Expo 2025 SAKE EXPO ⑫ ONKYO Booth It was hard to find Miyoshikiku, so I asked for another sake, and the one that came up was Yamatan Masamune. I could clearly taste the difference. The one with music had a more rounded taste. I guess the vibration has the same effect as aging. I heard that he had them listen to music for about 6 months. I heard that the taste of alcohol submerged in the ocean also changes due to the effect of the waves, so vibrations do have an effect on alcohol 😳. Nice Masamune it was👍

Good evening bouken🌙 I've never heard of music mellowing the taste 😳this is like jazz, but I wonder if the taste changes depending on the genre of music you play 🤔that would be worth researching 😁. Anyway, nice Masamune👍😆.

Hello, Hiro-san. Do you have a speaker attached to the tank and the vibration makes it age better? I think it will change depending on the genre of music 🤔. I wonder what would happen if I let them listen to some heavy rock 🎸.

Sake Expo 2025 SAKE EXPO11 ONKYO booth I was looking around and was offered an otter, but it's 17,000 yen and there's no tasting, so I can't buy it 😂. They let you compare the one with music and the regular one. First up was the Miyoshigiku. I think I made a bad choice, but the Miyoshigiku is so unique I can't tell the difference 🤣. Both are sour 🤣
