Stopped by Imadeya Ginza Six for a flat.
They were having the June Shinsei Hanpukai at the corner bar, so I had a drink.
Murasaki Yatagata, which is rarely seen only at events.
It is a rare chance to drink it because it is made from sake brewed in the previous brewing year, and there is no chance to drink it.
While the Yonotori base is still present, the richness of the sake has increased.
The nuance of the wooden vat seems to be more deeply blended into the sake.
The perfection of Japanese sake, "Kafuda-shu". Sake future and low alcohol. That alone will make you drool.
Even with the low alcohol content, the aroma and flavor of the rice comes through with a thump, and it finishes without any cloying taste. It is truly light and fresh.
It was a perfect combination of the best parts of traditional sake and the best parts of modern sake.
Thanks for your comment, ma-ki-. I am sure it is delicious, but the details are just my personal opinion, so I look forward to seeing how ma-kii- will post it.
The sweetness is strong and strong at the start, followed by mild acidity and a long finish, with a slight astringent bitterness at the end.
The cork has flown out, and there is a piquancy that is typical of Kaze no Mori.
4.5
I had a rather good chance to catch a beetle this year (online), but I felt like it was just not the right year. I had so many other things to drink. However, when I came across a real one, and it was the last one. I bought it. It's a stag beetle.
Personally, I prefer beetles to stag beetles. I don't know about this year's Beetle, but my impression is that Stag Beetle is more refreshing and easier to drink, and its mild acidity is more pronounced. It is tasty in a summery way, but personally I would prefer a little more umami sweetness. I should have bought this year's Beetle after all.
Hi sikamaru 😃
We too are more beetles than stag beetles!
Actually we were also thinking 🤔 it would be good this year 😅 but when we drank it, we were right 👍You should drink the beetles 🌈 🤗.
At the corner of IMADEYA GINZA
Fragrance is weak.
Texture is smooth and light.
The acidity, characteristic of Niimasa, is not so strong and easy to drink.
However, there is a bit of a tang from the mid-palate to the aftertaste. The part that corresponds to richness and umami is modern and challenging, just like Shinsei.
It tickles the heart of fans.
At the corner of IMADEYA GINZA
Melon and grape nuance 🍇.
Not freshly opened.
The gasiness was not as strong as expected.
Fruitiness is stronger than Ninong Brewing.
It was quite sweet, almost like juice.
This sake has a peculiar appearance, and once you see it, you will never forget it. The name "kafuda-shu" is also unique, and once you hear it, you will never forget it. The question is always raised as to whether or not the sake is as good as it looks. If you think that the sake is just for show, you will get a backhanded blowback. He is not only good looking, but he is also very talented. He is a handsome guy, but he is also a karate expert.
So what does he taste like? The label says it is "light and fresh," and there is no lie in the description. It has a nice sharpness and no harsh taste. I tend to fall into the trap of drinking too much of this kind of sake because it is so easy to drink, but I couldn't stop myself from drinking too much. The flashy looking guy was unexpectedly a hard-core, orthodox, and cool guy.
It blew out vigorously as soon as the bottle was opened. So energetic. There is not much sweetness. It does not have much sake flavor. It is easy to drink because it is lightly flavored. It's sparkling, so it's even easier to drink. When I noticed it, I thought, "What? How many more four-packs are left? It's frightening. It's like a narcotic liquid. On a hot and humid day like today, I can't stop drinking. The pace is twice as fast as usual. If I didn't drink at home, I'd be kicked out at the last station and would have to stay in the field. But we are a house-drinking club. I'm going to sleep on the living room sofa, drooling. Good night!
Summer has already come. It has a refreshing sweetness with a clean taste. The alcohol content is low and the drink is over in a flash. The momentary feeling of summer is also very much like the arrival of summer.
Opened a bottle of the rumored Sentori limited edition. We are looking forward to it.
The aroma was very lactic acidic. It's been a while since I've had something this good. The gasiness is very slight.
The sweetness and acidity are quite strong. Of course, the acidity is strong, but the sweetness is also very strong.
But it is still very acidic and finishes with a squeaky sourness.
This is a bottle for those who like lactic acidity and sourness. You can drink it little by little all the time without getting tired of it.
I thought, "I've had this somewhere before..." It's Kabutowushi! It's almost that time of year.
The perfect muscat. I have never really compared it to a fruit, but this is definitely a muscat. The combination of the crispness of the alcohol and the pleasant tartness of the fruit gives it the name FUZZY GREEN. It is refreshing. I like the fact that the label is stubbornly "Masamune" while still having such a distinctive flavor!
I am writing this while reminiscing about the fun we had a week ago 🤤.
I am writing this as I dwell on the memories 😊.
Umaumaimai came to visit us 🙌🙌!
First of all, Ane-san and I went to Gin-bura (old 😅) and most of the people passing by didn't speak Japanese. There were long lines at luxury brand stores. I guess they are very happy with the weak yen 🤑😚.
First of all, I have to eat a parfait before I get drunk! Ane-san recommended Pierre Marcolini👏.
I actually went to the Pierre Hermé store by mistake, but there was no eat-in space 💦.
So many Pierre's in the store 😆.
This is where the real fun begins: ‼️ We went to the corner shop at Inamaya.
I missed you, Abe-chan! There were two kinds of sake so we compared 🤭 Junmai and Junmai Ginjo.
I liked the junmai because it had a sweet and sour aftertaste. The junmai ginjo was a bit dry. I would definitely recommend junmai ginjo as a food sake.
Thank you very much for your hospitality, Yukachin 😊It was very nice... Pierre was delicious, I got some good pictures of Imaya and silver bra, and all the 📷 interesting things 👍✨.
It is slightly slightly carbonated. The alcohol content is low and you would expect it to be light, but it has a sweetness that gives the rice a strong flavor and is very drinkable. It is more suitable for a pleasant summer evening than for the heat of midsummer.
I didn't expect it to be released again this year! No. 1 in the nigori/sparkling category last season! (*My own research)
It took 5 minutes to open and close the screw when opening the bottle.
The aroma was muscat, melon and banana. Nice aroma. The gasiness is a bit gaseous.
The sweetness is impressive on the first day, and the acidity is dominant on the second day. Both are great.
The acidity is followed by an astringent taste, and the end result is like after eating citrus!
It's great again this year! I'm already drinking the kuikui! I'm getting drunk!
Good morning, disry 😃.
I haven't had it this year 🥲 but I remember drinking it after the January break and killing it instantly with how good it was 😋 so... not sure about the taste change on day 2 😆.
Good evening, Jay & Nobby 🌇.
You're right, this would kill me in an instant 😎.
I can't drink that much myself, so I drink a little at a time, but it was hard to contain myself, haha... 😮💨
Houou Mida looks like I had not seen much of it. I like Black Phoenix and it looks delicious when black. The floral and fruity feel is like a Mita, with a gentle sourness that is sharp. However, as time goes by, the sourness disappears and it is quite a mild sweet and refreshing type. It is delicious. It is a sake to be enjoyed on its own, not with food.
Home drinking.
The label is by pencil artist Yuriko Terasaki.
100% Omachi
After opening the bottle, no aroma is detected. When you put your nose close to it, you can smell a slight cemedine-like odor.
The color is a very light amber. It is clear and beautiful.
In the mouth, there is no sense of cemedine, and it soaks in smoothly. A vague sweetness oozes out of the flavor. I wonder if it is the sweetness of rice 🤔.
There was a sourness in the first bite, but I didn't feel it from the third sip. Strange.
The mouthfeel is smooth and translucent. It is like this that permeates the whole body 😚.
The feeling of a smooth taste in the mouth after swallowing is very sake-like and satisfying. ⤴️
It is classic and not flashy, but not flirtatious. I could feel the accumulated time and dignity of sake brewing 🍶.
Open a bottle to reward yourself for being exhausted after a hard day's work.
This is a bottle of Kaze no Mori ALPHA TYPE 6 2023, made with Akitsuho O'Shinsei Brewery's No. 6 yeast.
Kaze no Mori ALPHA TYPE 6: Homage to No. 6 2023
In addition to the slight effervescence that is typical of Kaze no Mori, it has a beautiful acidity and a smooth flavor after swallowing.
Although it is different from the taste of Shinmasa Sake Brewery, this is delicious!
Rice polishing ratio: 70% (100% Akitsuho)
Alcohol content: 14%.
It's still cold, but it feels like spring. Has it been a long time since Senkou itself? I don't have such a good memory of taste that I can remember last year's sakura, but I think I like it better than last year's. It has a good balance of sourness and sweetness, which is typical of Sentori, and is easy to drink. Even when intertwined with ori, it is pleasant because the clarity of the flavor remains.

Sparkling with wine🍷 yeast
Anticipation rises with a bottle of orikara
The bottle was opened in a calm and relaxed manner
When I poured it, it was still shrieking.
Fruity, with a mix of sourness and sweetness
It was like a sparkling wine!
I had it with a pot of hot pot, but it might also go well with pizza 🍕😁.
but it might also go well with pizza 😁.
600 for home drinking
Good morning, Harry 😃.
I haven't had it this year, but it's definitely a delicious foul drink 😋 and the pizza 🍕 is perfect!
Is it 600 for drinking at home: ㊗️
Good evening, Jaynobi 🌆.
I got Tochigi sake, oh, and pizza 🍕.
It was gone before I had a chance to drink it😅
I've been keeping a low profile on the home drinking count so as not to disturb you guys, but I'm no match for you Jay😅.
Harry, congratulations on 600 check-ins for drinking at home: 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
I've been thinking about it for a while but haven't tried it yet 💦I'll have it with a 🍕 when I do 😁.
