Sake when we visited to greet the end of the fiscal year ⑤Last 🍶.
The last of this day's sake series 🍶 was a sake I had never tried before.
Gunma Izumi, a first time experience, is the first Shibori Nama Sake.
The appearance is a clear, strongly formed, misty orikara.
Slightly grainy tailings are also mixed in.
The nose is sweet and fresh.
Bluish melon, unripe and young pears.
Fresh herbaceousness is selfeil.
Rice aroma of white dumplings.
Tacky texture on the palate.
Chilliness and gentle gassiness.
Sourness with a refreshing coolness.
There is also a moderate sweetness.
The mouthfeel is refreshing with a sense of clear melon, combined with a hint of fragrance.
Slim from the middle to the finish.
The sharpness is good and there is no lingering aftertaste.
The balance between the freshness of the first pressing and the crispness of the special honjozo style.
It was the end of my drunken year at chuin.
Thank you for the food 🍶. アラジンAladdin 《March Staggered Submissions》

Sake when I visited to greet the end of the fiscal year ④🍶.
Tobiroki (Hiroki) special jun.
I like it. ☺️
The appearance is almost transparent clear crystal.
The aroma is typical of sake with a fresh, green, herbal feel.
The mouthfeel is crystal clear.
Strangely enough, there is no aroma, but a fruity sweetness.
The balance between the gentle and fine acidity is very intoxicating.
A modest sense of discreetness that passes over the palate and down the back of the throat.
The gentle umami of the rice spreads and permeates.
The finish is extremely crisp and lingers for a long time.
Truly, it is deeply delicious.
I would like to drink this sake at home once. 會津宮泉純米吟醸 山酒4号 うすにごり 生酒純米吟醸生酒にごり酒 アラジンMarch staggered postings.

Sake (3) 🍶 when we visited to greet the end of the fiscal year.
This is a light nigori junmai ginjo nama-shu brewed with Yamashu No. 4, nicknamed "Tamanao.
Yamashu No. 4 is a sake brewing rice born in Yamagata Prefecture, with Kinmon-Nishiki as the mother and Yamada-Nishiki as the father 🌾.
The appearance is a misty white with only a slight transparency.
The aroma is sweet and mild.
Ripe banana, moderately ripe blue melon flesh, and a faint sense of fresh melon.
Rice cake rice aroma.
Soft texture on the palate.
No gassiness, refreshing sweetness, gentle acidity, clear umami, and firm bitterness.
It has a light nigoromi of Miyazumi without the rummy and gaseous sensation, and a strong bitterness from the end to the lingering finish.
The Aizu Miyazumi is more honest than the Collage. I like it.
I like that. アラジンMarch staggered postings.

Sake (2) 🍶 when we visited to greet the end of the fiscal year.
The yellow-green crystal with a very faint haze that you wouldn't know if you weren't told, as if the glass was fogged up by the chilled sake.
The aroma is fresh and soft.
It has a refreshing aroma with a hint of sourness and a clear aroma of cream cheese and parmesan cheese, which is typical of Yamahai.
Mochi rice aroma.
The taste has a texture that seems to seep into the palate.
The sweetness is firm, yet clear.
The acidity, which is not quite sharp, is also strong.
The aroma has a hint of cheese and fermented butter, which is typical of Yamahai, and the flavor is clear and delicious.
It has a sharpness that makes you feel as if it has been tightly closed.
When it is warmed in the mouth, it becomes fuller and warms up.
It's quite intoxicating, just like Yamahai 🍶☺️ アラジンMarch staggered postings.
At chuin one day.
Sake (1) 🍶 when we visited to greet the end of the fiscal year.
It is a snow white with a dark nigori and fine tailings.
When poured, there is a feeling of a film on the surface.
The aroma is like a refreshing amazake with a touch of alcoholic refreshment.
Rice aroma of rice cake.
The taste is mellow and mild, with a light gas feeling, not too sweet, yet sweet, with an intoxicating balance. ☺️
The fresh gasiness and acidity release is also pleasantly intoxicating.
While there is a rather heavy alcohol attack, it is enveloped by a soft, bitter aftertaste.
This is my favorite type of wine.
As a side note, chuin is currently open on irregular days and has shortened hours, so if you are planning to visit, please be careful!
(Please see their Instagram for business days, etc. 🙇♂️) Jikon純米吟醸 酒未来 生 2024純米吟醸生酒無濾過 アラジンIt's been a long time since we had a stand-up drinking session at Chuin-san.
The third and last sake was Jikkai's Sake Mirai, which happened to be open on the day of the event.
It is a junmai ginjo sake.
I haven't had a chance to drink Jikin recently, so I feel like it's been a long time since I've had it.
I am afraid I only know people in the Kansai region, but I heard that Kadoya Sake Shop in Ibaraki, Osaka, had recently sold this sake at a point of sale, or that the point of sale for the same Jikin is different depending on the raw rice used? I had a lot of conversations with the owner, Mr. Kawada, about such things.
The appearance is pale yellow-green crystal.
The aroma is modest, fruity, and rich in rice aroma.
Apples, pears, berries.
Powdery rice aroma.
The mouthfeel is smooth and silky.
The sweetness is moderate.
A little assertive acidity.
Umami with a sense of rice.
The umami finishes with the acidity.
The lingering aftertaste after swallowing is long and slow.
It is surprisingly smooth!
There is a slight koji flavor, and more koji flavor comes out in the returning aroma.
Personally, I felt the finish was unexpected.
It might have been especially hard on the day of opening 🤔.
I would like to follow the opening changes for a few days, but that is the fate of outside drinking.
I thought I'd like to try aging the Jikin Sake Mirai in ice temperature for a while, but it didn't matter because I couldn't afford it anyway 😁. ポンちゃんHi Aladdin 🐦.
I feel like I'm getting a great deal from Chuin's standing drinking because I can see multiple detailed reviews 😆🙏🙏.
Kadoya-san, I drink at home once or twice a year, so I am far away from drinking at home now 🤣. アラジンGood evening, Pon 😃.
Checking in on Chuin is an abridged version, so I'm kind of dreading you saying so 😅.
Kadoya Sake Shop, I love it too, but I can't visit the store often because I'm strictly in the area and only look at your instagram 😌. アラジンSecond sake at CHUIN, a long time standing drinker.
It is Urachiebijin, or so-called Urachie, which we could not buy due to storage space.
The gold hiragana mirror characters on a black background are very sophisticated and fashionable.
The bright red label on the back of the bottle usually tends to ruin the overall stylishness of the bottle, but this time the bottle and the front label are both black, so I guess it just about works 🤔.
The appearance is clear crystal, almost transparent.
The aroma is modestly floral and fresh.
Mild apple, white peach, and a faint chervil freshness, with a rice aroma of white dumplings.
Clear first touch.
Modest sweetness and rounded acidity.
The clear umami is slim and crisp.
The lingering finish is medium with a hint of acidity.
The taste is more refreshing and mild than one might expect, and one realizes that it is intended as a food sake.
However, while the overall taste is mild, the chiebijin-like aroma and sweetness can be detected, so I thought it would fit well with Kyushu's sweet soy sauce flavoring 🍶. Gassan智則 純米吟醸 中取おりがらみ生原酒純米吟醸原酒生酒中取りおりがらみ アラジンOne day standing drinking.
It has been a long time since Chuin has been here.
On this day, we drank three sakes.
We started with "Tomonori" by Yoshida Shuzo, which brews Gassan.
Tomonori is a sake named after the brewer of Yoshida Shuzo, Mr. Tomonori Yoshida.
In the brewing stage, it is not decided which tank will become Tomonori, and the best tank from which the junmai ginjo is brewed becomes Tomonori.
Moreover, it is a limited distribution sake, so the brewery does not sell it in reverse.
The rice polishing ratio is 55%, and although there is no mention of the sake rice, it is said to be Sakonishiki.
If so, it is the same as the Izumo Fuji Yukigumo we drank the other day!
It is a Junmai Ginjo-shu, a Nakadori (raw sake), orikarami.
It is all drunken words!
The appearance is a yellow-white orikagara that leaves a clear impression with a hint of tailings floating in the air.
The aroma is calm and gorgeous, with pear and melon ginjo aroma and soft rice aroma.
In the mouth, there is a juicy sweetness and a gentle but present acidity.
The softness of the tailings and the firm, full flavor flow with a slight bitterness and finish with a sharp edge.
Super delicious!
I heard there was also a petit gas feeling right after opening the bottle, which I imagine made it even more delicious 🤤.
I like Gassan to begin with, but I would like to drink Tomonori at home at least once in a while. ジェイ&ノビィGood morning, Aladdin 😃
Mr. Tsukiyama! I'd like to take you out for a series of J&N drinks I've never had 🤗I think I'll start with Tsukiyama first 😅Tomonori-san! I'm curious about the Izumo style sake 😄. アラジンGood morning, Jay & Nobby 😃.
Gassan can also be fruity, and some of them are very sweet and tasty, so I would recommend you to pick up one that is more dry and refreshing if you can 😄.
The stock of Izumo sake has risen from Snow Cloud 😁. ひるぺこGood evening, Aladdin. Jiichiro! I see that you had the sake you wanted to try, CHUIN. Aladdin-san's delicious comments make me want to drink more and more! I'd love to take you home for a drink sometime 🍶✨. アラジンGood morning, Hirupeko 😃.
Tomonori, it's one of the selected junmai ginjos from Gassan, and the taste was irresistible.
I would like to try this sake at home too, but I have never seen Tomonori even though I have Gassan 😌. アラジンKuroryu Doroguchi, which will be sold out this season.
The Kutouryuu Doroguchi we drank the other day was excellent, so we got this one as well.
By the way, I am ashamed to say that I recognized for the first time that both Kuroryu and Kutouryu have a Dareguchi 😅.
The appearance is a greenish yellow color with a slight haze of tailings.
The aroma is youthful and fresh with a cider-like first impression.
Fruity and sweet pear melon.
The rice aroma is about the size of a white dumpling.
Soft texture.
Deep sweetness and fine acidity.
The gentle and firm umami is followed by a sharp sensation that spreads and finishes with a sharp sharp edge.
The aftertaste is moderate.
It is delicious.
The aroma is higher than that of Kutouryuu, and the sweetness and umami of the taste is moderate and refreshing.
The owner, Mr. Kawada, expressed his regret that the Kutouryuu Dorokuchi will be discontinued this season. ジェイ&ノビィGood morning, Aladdin 😃.
Ehh 😱 is that so? We've never had a droopy mouth of either Kuroryu or Kutouryuu 🥲If Kutouryuu stays, I'll have to go to 😮💨 first ‼️ Thanks for the info👍 アラジンGood evening, Jay & Nobby 😃.
My mentor was lamenting the end of the sale and he is probably right 😌.
Kutouryuu Doroguchi is the sweetest and most delicious sake in Kuroryu, so if you prefer dry sake, I recommend you to drink Kuroryu Jungin Doroguchi 🤔. 伝衛門VESICA PISCIS GOZ-ゴズ-原酒生酒生詰酒にごり酒槽しぼり アラジンMy sake of the day 💁.
I finally got to drink a sake from a brewery that has been on my personal list of favorites for a long time!
Echigo Den'emon started full-scale brewing in R4BY after taking over the business.
Mr. Aoi Kato is the sole brewer, living in the brewery and brewing for all four seasons.
The brewing process is standardized: ultra-small brewing, 50% rice polishing ratio, ginjo-style brewing, 901 yeast, sake tank pressing, bottle heating, and a unique asymptotic asymptote-type regular fast brewing yeast.
I'm interested in this kind of thing: ☺️
Vesica Paisys GOZ this time 🍶.
The appearance is a fine and beautiful pale silver-white.
The aroma is youthful and fresh.
Unripe pear, princess apple, green melon skin, whey yogurt, and white dumplings.
Smooth and silky texture.
The rice flavor with a hint of whey spreads and flows smoothly, and the acidity like Japanese citrus comes with bitterness.
From there, the umami, including a refreshing bitterness, flows with a silky tailing and finishes with a crisp finish.
The finish is sharp and medium with a lingering astringent aftertaste accompanied by a soft bitterness.
Delicious.
It is completely different from the direction of my preference for dark mellow sweet umami, but it is delicious.
Someday, I too would like to encounter the kind of sake that makes the genes smile, which is what Mr. Kato is aiming for. ヒロGood evening, Aladdin!
I see you were able to drink Den-emon 😄.
It has a very original taste and I thought it was amazing 😳 when I heard that it is brewed by one person.
Aladdin-san raves about it too, so it's definitely a sake 🤩. アラジンGood evening, Hiro 😃.
I was able to drink Den-emon 😊.
It was a nice sake that broadened my taste for sake, which tends to be sweet and tasty 🍶.
By the way, it's a small detail, but it looks like they recently switched from the asymptotic fast brewing method to the soft water Yamahai method 🙇. Yamasan純米吟醸 ひとごこち 五割五分 うすにごり純米吟醸生酒にごり酒 アラジンThis day, February 5, is "Nigoras gather for nigori sake day" 🍶.
When I mentioned this to the owner, Mr. Kawada, he said, "There is quite a lot of nigori today! I told Mr. Kawada, the owner, about it.
I was surprised to hear that the sake I was looking for was already nigori.
But before that, here it is!
I like Yamazan because it has many flavors that suit my taste. ☺️
It is a junmai ginjo-shu, a light nigori (light nigori) sake brewed with my favorite sake rice from Nagano, Hitogokochi, polished to 55% rice polishing ratio 😄.
The appearance is a cloudy, misty yellow-green.
Gas bubbles stick to the glass 🫧.
The aroma is mild, pale apple, pear.
Sweet rice cake-like rice aroma.
Soft touch on the palate.
The gasiness is rather firm.
The nose is clear, with a strong sweetness.
The acidity is smooth and gentle.
In the middle part of the mouth, the feeling of dregs spreads softly and the gaseous sensation gently goes down the back of the throat, followed by a crisp and sharp finish with umami including bitterness.
The bitter aftertaste is moderate.
It has a good balance of sweetness and bitterness that is typical of Hitokochiki!
I would like to drink this at home, too!
Delicious! 松尾自慢-Re:make- ［純米吟醸］限定しぼりたて 無濾過生原酒純米吟醸原酒生酒無濾過 アラジンOn this day, the sake I was looking for was on tap, so I went to chuin.
We started with Matsuo Jugyo, a local standard sake from Kangiku Meikozo, which brews Kangiku, which I had been curious about for a while.
This is a limited-edition Shiboritate that is released only once a year during the new sake season! This is a limited-edition, raw version of the
It is an unfiltered junmai ginjo sake.
I tend to get junmai daiginjo at Kangiku, so junmai ginjo might be a new experience for me 🤔.
The exterior is a very pale silver yellow crystal.
There are gas bubbles in the glass 🫧.
The aroma is mild cold chrysanthemum.
Ripe apple and pear aromas in the distance, with a touch of riceiness there.
When you drink it, the first touch is Jun and sweet.
Soft gassy and tart texture.
The bitterness from the mid-palate is also slightly effective, sweet but tight.
The loss of alcohol, which is typical of nama-shu, is also intoxicating.
It is drunkenness, isn't it?
This is a standard sake that makes local Chiba Prefecture residents envious.
Compared to Kangiku's Occasional series and Ocean99 series, it was less vivid, a calm Kangiku that is just right for drinking as a standard sake.
On days when I go to the liquor store and find that there is nothing in particular that I am looking for today, I envy the Chiba residents who can buy this kind of sake as a standard sake. ☺️ ジェイ&ノビィHi Aladdin 😃
I see you went to Matsuo Boast ‼️ we are going to Chiba this weekend, so I'm going to look in the liquor store and get some Matsuo Boast if it's available 🤗.
I'm looking forward to seeing how you feel about it 😙. アラジンGood evening, Jay & Nobby 😃.
Chiba 🚗🍶 drunk!
You can buy it at Seven-Eleven Tsudanuma store 24 hours a day if they have it in stock!
Matsuo proudly raw, the sweetness is firm but tight and I hope it suits your palate 😊. アラジンThe last of the day was a series of drinks left to the owner, who, again, asked us to choose sake that we would not normally choose ourselves.
We were served a Niigata sake recommended by Mr. Kawada, the owner of CHUIN, which he always buys every year.
Kenshin was a first for me!
The aroma is...ladylike, sweet and juicy with a hint of koji (malted rice) including the acidity typical of sake, with pleasant aromas of grapefruit, melon and banana.
On the palate...smooth, mellow, and super juicy!
With all due respect, it is overflowing with juiciness that is hard to believe this is a Niigata sake!
While a gentle dryness peeks out a bit, the umami, including a slight bitterness, flows nicely and spastily.
The aftertaste is medium short.
This is delicious!
It has no alsophony, and if you were to give it to me blind, I would say it was a junmai type.
This is the kind of sake that overturns my biased stereotype of Niigata sake and makes me feel ashamed of my lack of knowledge and experience.
I was surprised after a long time.
It is delicious!
The freshness and vibrancy of freshly pressed sake, the aroma brought out by the aruzome and the sharpness at the end.
All the characteristics of this sake were working in the right way.
I will buy it next year if I can find it.
Thanks for the treat 🍶. アラジンHere it is again this year, the berry Jikin!
Maybe it's my favorite Jikin.
The appearance is clear crystal.
The aroma is youthful and gorgeous.
The aroma is of berries dripping with sweet juice containing pleasant acidity, with a slight strawberry candy-like sweetness nuance.
Rice aroma with a slightly powdery feel of white dumplings.
Smooth texture.
Slightly chili gasiness 🫧.
Candy-like sweetness and berry-like sourness.
A firm and beautiful umami, with a sharpness that includes a rich bitterness.
A dreamy aftertaste with elegant hints of fragrance.
Drinking your favorite sake makes you happy.
No matter how hard a day I have had, I can still think that today is a good day to get drunk. 瀧澤純米酒 無濾過生原酒（からくちフルーティー直汲み）純米原酒生酒無濾過 
アラジンWhen I always choose my own sake, I tend to ask for the sake I have had before, which I prefer.
In search of new encounters, I decided to leave the last drink to the owner 🍶.
Here are the sake selections.
It is a limited edition bespoke sake from Jizakeya Miyajima, a sake shop in Ueda, Shinshu, and is usually shipped as fire-aged junmai sake.
It is marked by a shoulder label that reads "Karakuchi Fruity Nao Kumi," which Mr. Miyajima came up with.
He wants it to be called "Karakuchifru Junmai!
The aroma is fresh and gorgeous.
The aroma is fresh and gorgeous, with a light, fruity feel.
Unsweet apples, pears, melon, and blue bananas are covered with the rice aroma of freshly pounded rice cake.
Smooth texture.
A hint of rice sweetness and a refreshing sourness spreads.
From the fruity overtone, a beautiful umami flavor develops.
At the end, the dryness goes down the back of the throat in a flash, and it finishes nicely with a sense of refreshment.
The 17% alcohol content leaves a warm aftertaste.
Oh, it is delicious!
A dry sake with a fruity aroma!
I realized again that I can drink dry sake that is not only dry and dry but also has umami and aroma, or rather I like it.
Dry and fruity = "colorful" and if it becomes popular, I'll be drunk 😊.
Thank you for the food 🍶. ジェイ&ノビィGood morning, Aladdin 😃.
Looking forward to meeting new people! I'm sure you'll be in good hands with the owner 🤗Fruity dry is the flavor that got us hooked 😋Colorful remembered 👍. アラジンGood morning, Jay & Nobby 😃.
Take a cue from J&N and have a drink you've never had! 😄
Well, sake is always a new encounter as each brewing varies in various ways even for the same brand 😁.
Colorful regards! アラジンThis is another series of sake that I want to drink at home but for some reason can't afford to buy every year.
This is "Do" from Yamamoto Sake Brewery, which brews Yamamoto, a sake that I have always been curious about as a nigorist.
It seems that "Do" is always released a little after the sake I really want to buy, so when I see it at the store, I always think, "Aha! Whenever I saw it at the store, I had to pass it up because my fridge was always overflowing with it 🥲.
This is the first time I've had this sake, including outside drinking 🍶.
Since it was an outside drink, they stirred the tailings well before pouring it.
By the way, it looks and sounds like doburoku, but it is not doburoku because it is "seishu" and is filtered.
The appearance is a snow-white color with a hint of green and green, with beautifully spacious tailings dancing in the air.
There is a rich aroma of rice in the tailings, with a slight pickle aroma in the back that is not unpleasant.
The mouthfeel is pleasantly mellow with a gassy, shrieking sensation.
There is almost no sweetness, and the taste of the rice in the gas and the tailings spreads dry and flat.
The clear umami flavor is well balanced by the acidity and gassiness.
The bitterness of the tailings lingers moderately in the aftertaste.
I see what you mean.
The dry, crisp, clean rice flavor is irresistible to those who like it 🍶.
I can see why it is so popular! ポンちゃんHi Aladdin 🐦.
I've been wondering about this one for a long time too 💦 and when I came across it, I couldn't buy it as well 😅.
And I always thought it was the "do" of doburoku 😂 it's amazing how much lees is here after straining 😳. コタローHi Aladdin, ☀️
This is open in our house right now 😋 and the flavor itself is just as enjoyable as the fluffy, melty mouthfeel that comes with it 😆. アラジンGood evening, Pon 😃.
There is no definition of "filtered" in the law, so "filtered!" through a colander of skunks. 🤔.
I was wondering if you have any idea how to strain the rice?
It's worth a try 😊🍶. アラジンGood evening, Mr. Kotaro 😃.
Drinking "Do" at home is so intoxicating 😃☺️
I'm sure it will be empty in a moment 😁.
I learned about drunken active nigori that I can recommend to those who like dry 🍶. アラジンThe day we compared Kaze no Mori Akitsuho 657 and NeXT drinks.
Not wanting to stop there, we were treated to a series of sakes that I would love to drink at home but for some reason can't afford to buy every year.
As a fan of Kangiku, I am ashamed to say that I have yet to drink it at home, Hashu Honor.
I have come across it on display in stores, but because of the time of year and the overlap of the sake I want to buy right before every year, I cannot buy Haneju Homare due to storage space limitations.
I was thankful to be able to drink it out of the store.
The aroma is mild and modestly fruity.
On the palate, it has a clear touch.
The sweetness has a dark, juicy, Kangiku-like character and a smooth acidity.
The overt aroma is sweet and soft.
It has a clear umami taste and a gentle, slightly bitter astringency.
The aroma and flavor change depending on the sake container and how long the bottle has been open, so it is difficult to make a blanket statement, but it was crisp and clearer than I had expected.
It had a taste of sweetness that is typical of Kangiku, so I thought it might be interesting to let it sit for a while. アラジンA time of change is approaching for Kaze no Mori's masterpieces....
A comparison with a test brew of a new sake quality design that will determine the future direction of the company.
Kaze no Mori Akitsuho 657, a well-loved masterpiece from the past.
So, following the previous check-in, this time it is the usual Kaze no Mori Akitsuho 657.
Clear crystal, lots of gas bubbles in the glass when poured.
The aroma is youthful, fresh, and gorgeous.
Pear, white grape, sweet melon aroma, and a slightly firm veil of volatile aroma.
On the palate, sweetness is accompanied by a hint of bitterness, followed by the lively stimulation of gas and acidity.
The volatile aroma is rich and refreshing even in the hints.
The sharpness is good, with a lingering complex flavor that is typical of Akitsuho.
The usual sweetness of the dark hininess and the lingering bitter complexity are pleasant.
At any rate, the brewing technique must be amazing to be able to change the flavor and alcohol content so subtly with such a similar sake quality design.
This Kaze no Mori Akitsuho 657 is an important sake that I drank in Nara a few years ago and it made me realize again, "Sake is so intoxicating." I drank this Kaze no Mori Akitsuho 657 in Nara a few years ago, and it made me realize again that "sake is intoxicating.
It may be a correction for my feelings, but personally, I think it is better to drink it as it is, which is easier to enjoy the sweetness and complexity of Akitsuho sake. ☺️ RecommendedContentsSectionView.title
