Timeline
flos_lingua_estSince the spring session of Mitsuo Yamakawa's Yamagata Masamune, I bought two bottles of the summer sake and was very satisfied with them. I chose Omachi, a standard sake of the same brand, to compare with Aki-agari, a seasonal sake.
As is typical of Tohoku sake, it has an apple-like aroma, especially pineapple, but it also has a hint of alcohol, which is strange. When you drink it, you can feel the alcohol, but it has a surprisingly rounded texture. This kind of sake may not be so common.
After 3-4 days, the pineapple flavor fades away, and it is enjoyable as a medium dry sake with a hint of sweetness.
It is often said to be "watery," and this is the level of mellowness that gives it the impression of being a sake from the Tohoku region.
It is so delicious that I was scared after about the fifth day! The acidity cuts the excess sweetness, and the sourness gives it a fruitiness that makes it dry but juicy!
I love Yamagata Masamune. I'm looking forward to the new sake season, which I haven't encountered yet.
On the 7th day, we compared it with Senkou's Senkohana (sparkling firework), which was much more rounded than the other two! Amazing! I am very impressed! たけっちSo-no-Kangiku -Identity 2024- So-no-Mai, light nigori, unfiltered unpasteurized sake
Memorandum
At my wife's parents' house.
The cork flew out with a loud pop.
It is a light nigori with a hint of haze.
It is slightly carbonated and has a nice sparkle to it.
It is sweet and tasty, but also light and easy to drink. たけっちSono Kangiku Monochrome Junmai Daiginjo Yamashu No.4 Unfiltered Nama-shu
The second bottle today.
It is juicy and delicious.
It is sweet and delicious like Kangiku.
As the temperature rises, the umami level increases.
I can't stand it 😆. Sarathe starry night Vesper たけっちSairai the starry night Vesper
The day has grown longer.
I couldn't wait for the starry night and opened the bottle at twilight.
But it's a good time for Vesper.
Well, it's all right as long as the drink tastes good 😁.
The aroma is lactic acid like Sairai.
Modest sweetness and light bitterness.
The aftertaste when it goes down the throat and the aftertaste, it has a characteristic but it's hard to put into words. My wife says it's like "Iburi goko?"
I kinda get it 🤣. ジェイ&ノビィGood morning, Takechi 😃.
The days are really getting longer 😊Venus 🌟 will shine in the evening sky as the evening star in early October 🤗.
I'd like to feel the iburigakko flavor of Sairai 😆😄. たけっちJay & Nobby, good evening 🌙.
As expected, we can't hold out until October 😅It's a good thing we had a good drink 😆.
It's interesting how differently we feel and express the same taste 😄. たけっちOhmine Ohmine Cup
With cherry blossoms in the garden.
The timing was a little late and the cherry blossoms were in leaf.
It was warm, so I took out a chair and sat down comfortably.
Sweet and delicious!
Daimine is also a definite favorite.
It is 100ml so it evaporated very quickly. ポンちゃんGood evening, Takechi 🦉.
Yaezakura is beautiful 🌸hanami in your garden is too nice ✨even a cup of O-mine is delicious 😊at least 1 gou 🤣. たけっちGood evening, Pon-chan😄
The number of flowers is decreasing as if it is nearing the end of its life span, but the cherry blossoms 🌸 are still pleasing to the eye.
At least one cup, I know 😖 is too much! たけっちSairai Hanasumi Tokubetsu Junmai Unrefined Nama-shu
When the bottle is opened, it has a gaseous feeling.
The aroma is lactic acidic.
The taste is sweet with berry-like fruitiness. It is tangy, stimulating, and delicious. たけっちKurau Yoshida -Hello & Goodbye
The bottle was chilled so well that it was gassy when opened, but the supernatant was clear. The supernatant was clear and clean.
When it was transferred to a glass, there were fine bubbles.
When you put it in your mouth, it has a strong carbonation. It is refreshingly dry.
The dryness does not change even if you mix in the Ori.
The bitter acidity is good.
Today, we had it with dumplings.
Delicious. Four bottles were emptied in no time😅. さしゅーI was just thinking of buying this and drinking it, too! I was looking forward to it even more after reading your review! たけっちGood evening, Mr. Sashu🌙
It was a delicious bottle. I guess the problem is that it's hard to leave it for the next day or later😅.
It was a case of too good 👍 Sara純米大吟醸 MATSUZAKI limited edition 
たけっちSairai Junmai Daiginjo Unfiltered Nama-shu Direct Kumi MATSUZAKI limited edition
Today was the graduation ceremony of our eldest daughter from junior high school.
We had been tossed around by the Corona disaster, but the last year has eased up considerably, and we were able to attend the ceremony together as a couple.
Since we were able to attend the ceremony, we had a glass of Sairai's MATSUZAKI limited edition that we purchased at the KOEDO SAKE COLLECTION 2024.
It has a beautiful sweet fruit aroma.
It also has a hint of acidity, but it is elegant.
It is clear and tastes great at any temperature, from minus temperature to room temperature.
It is 16 degrees Celsius, but it is smooth and easy to drink.
I had a happy time. MantaGood evening, Mr. Takechi ^_^
Congratulations on your eldest daughter's graduation 🎉.
Restrictions eased, glad you could attend😊.
Congratulations on the great drinks 🥂👍 たけっちGood evening, Manta😊.
These were days of restraint, downsizing, smiles under the mask, and many other sacrifices.
I hope the young people who have endured so much will have many happy and joyful times in the future😄. ジェイ&ノビィHello, Takechi 😃
Congratulations on your eldest daughter's graduation from junior high school 🎉Happy peaceful life is really a happy thing ☺️ It's great to toast with delicious Sairai 🤗.
Enjoy your high school life 👋. たけっちGood morning, Jay & Nobby: ☀️
Looks like you graduated safely😅.
Peaceful everyday life is certainly something to be thankful for. Hopefully not at the expense of something else and everyone can toast to happiness 🍶. ポンちゃんTakechi, congratulations on your daughter's graduation 🎉🌸.
I'm sure it must have been very difficult for both you and your daughter as it coincided with a difficult time in junior high school. I can't help but hope that high school life will be your usual everyday life 🙏. たけっちThank you very much, Pon😄.
We could toast with a good drink 🍶.
I hope you experience lots of things you can enjoy in your younger years. May you live the days you take for granted😊. つぶちゃんCongratulations on your daughter's graduation🌸🎉I know that middle school life must have been really hard with all the restrictions you had to deal with😔I hope you can make up for it by enjoying high school with all your might and creating lots of great memories😊. たけっちThank you so much, Tsubu 😊.
It was frustrating every event. Many times parents couldn't even go to see them 😣.
Hope you have lots of fun from now on😄 たけっちBasho Junmai Daiginjo Nama Shu ASSEMBLAGE
Hanpukai sake.
This is an assemblage of several types of sake that have been aged slowly at -5°C. Enjoy the complex aroma and flavor. Please enjoy the rich aroma and taste of the complex combination of aromas and flavors. The name says it all.
This sake also has a complex aroma and taste. It has a more calm and clear taste than Junmai Ginjo.
The sweetness is also refined.
It is delicious!
Both bottles are beautiful😍. ジェイ&ノビィGood morning, Takechi 😃.
I've seen skunk cabbage but never had it 😅I'd like to compare the complex flavors of the assemblage 😄It's not easy to review 😆but both are delicious 😋! たけっちHi Jay & Nobby, ☀️
This is my first skunk cabbage too, wife select 😄.
I liked the Jun Dai better on the first day, but both tasted different on the second day 😍. たけっちBasho Junmai Ginjo Namaishu ASSEMBLAGE
Hanpukai sake.
This is an assemblage of several types of sake that have been slowly matured at -5°C (-4°F). Please enjoy the rich aroma and flavor of this complex blend. The name says it all.
Indeed, it has a complex aroma and taste. It has a graininess.
It's hard to put into words, but the taste is addictive.
On the second day, it seems to have mellowed and gained in flavor. 酔nosukeIt is a Jungin Nama-shu brewed with Misato Nishiki from Hanayuup ❤️ with a bright red-pink label.
When the bottle was first opened, it had a fruity aroma and was very juicy! I thought it would end up just being sweet, but later on, a slight sourness and a dry, bitter astringency also followed.
After a few days from opening the bottle, the sweetness that was prominent on the first day was suppressed, and the bitter-sweetness and astringency became balanced and delicious. Fresh and gorgeous, it is easy to drink and delicious! たけっちYunoka Akatake NEWBORN
Quiet opening. The aroma is calm.
Freshness is present but mild.
The sweetness, acidity, and final bitterness are well balanced.
It is a beautiful sake that can be drunk easily.
Truly delicious.
Thank you very much. たけっちSairai Special Junmai Unfiltered Nama Sake
The bottle was opened with a sizzle.
The aroma is typical of Sairai.
It has a gassy, berry-like sweet and sour taste.
It is thick and has a lactic acidity.
The bitter taste is pleasantly settled at the end. It is delicious.
It's a bottle, so we can expect more tomorrow. 酔nosukeThe first Sairai in a long time is an unfiltered, unpasteurized sake.
It has a gorgeous aroma of grapes, acidity, sweetness, and bitterness. As you drink more, the spiciness and the umami double in size.
The rich, dark flavor and aroma unique to unfiltered sake was delightful and delicious 😊. 酔nosukeIt's been a while since I've had mansaku flowers♪ I'll take the handwritten pink label.
The aroma is slightly green apple. The sourness comes first, and then the complex umami spreads out mixed with bitterness, and as the temperature rises, the umami becomes even stronger.
Although it has been fire-aged once, it is as fresh as a fresh sake. It is smooth, refreshing and delicious. ☺️ 酔nosukeThe first bottle for November is a junmai nama sake from Daishichi. This is a cold-aged nama sake.
Since it requires refrigeration, it has a slightly fruity aroma like muscat when you sip it while it is chilled. I never expected to smell muscat from that Daishichi! This is delicious!
As you continue to drink, you will be surprised to find a complex umami flavor with a firm acidity and spiciness!
It is a fresh and refined version of the usual Daishichi sake.
The sake is Daishichi, and the umami comes first 😆. 酔nosukeThe best way to enjoy the wine is to drink it with a glass of sake.
The aroma of grape is very strong, and when you drink it, the bitter taste follows the pear-like sweetness, and it finishes with a nice dry astringency.
Since it is a sake made over the summer after being quenched and heated rapidly, it is not too ripe and still has a fresh and rich flavor! This year's Nago Sake is also outstandingly delicious 😊.

Collection Review 93
It has been a long time since I have had a chance to taste Akabu. I had kind of passed on it recently, but I was curious about Akabu's autumn sake, so I bought it.
The clarity is amazing! The freshness, fruitiness, and sweetness remind me of pears. Despite its clarity, it is somewhat fruity in a good way, with a slight hint of banana. I can also taste some muscat and apple, maybe from the acidity (rather, from the first few days, it's mainly muscat and apple). And maybe a little bit of persimmon. It's not so much the taste itself, but the image I get from it. It's the season.
The elegant aroma and the rounded texture on the tongue make me feel autumn. And yet at the same time it retains a bit of freshness, which may surprise you a little when you think it's an autumn sake!
It is very drinkable for a 13% sake. It has a strong flavor or core to the extent that you can drink it after a very strong sake called Kurosawa without feeling any discomfort.
It gives the impression of being smooth and light, but it is also full-bodied and deep, so it gives a strange and profound impression. Above all, it is amazing that it does not deteriorate at all even after a few days!
In many ways, it has conflicting elements locked in one bottle, and as a new fall sake, I'll probably buy it again next year. 
たけっちJikin Junmai Ginjo Senbon Nishiki Hiire
Today is my second son's birthday.
The aroma is gentle and sweet.
It has a soft and soft mouthfeel.
The sweetness is felt at the back of the throat, but the overall taste is clear.
The bitter taste is left at the end.
It is not gorgeous, but it is a delicious sake with a calm and clear taste.
