Y.TokushigeI was tired from work and feeling down, so I opened the bottle to lift my spirits with the phrases "Kaiun" and "Celebration Sake"!
It has a tangy, fresh gasiness. It has a deep sweet and umami flavor with a slightly spicy and refreshing finish.
I am sure that tomorrow will be a day of good fortune and events to celebrate!

Calligrapher → Izumi Endo Y.TokushigeRefreshing acidity and light effervescence from the wine yeast preparation. From the gentle sparkling wine feeling, rice flavor and sweetness. The aftertaste has a sake-like feel, but it can also be served with western snacks that go well with white wine. Goes well with cheese.

Body-friendly ☺️. Slightly sweet and pleasant. It is not sticky and cuts easily ✨. When the temperature rises a little, it becomes mellow and easy to drink. It melts into your body.
Purchased at Morita Shoten @ Urawa, drinking at home 20220903 Y.TokushigeIt is delicious this year as well. The nose is firm, but the hints are gentle. The taste is clear, with umami, sweetness, and acidity, making it a truly beautiful sake.
Sake rice: 100% Omachi
Rice polishing ratio→50
Alcohol content: 16%. Y.TokushigeRefreshing aroma of muscatel. The body is mellow, with a full-bodied acidity and umami. It also has a moderate sweetness and bitterness. I like Omachi sake after all. It's even better when the temperature rises a little after taking it out of the fridge, rather than when it's freshly out of the fridge at about 10 degrees Celsius. I'll be careful not to drink too much when I'm in a good mood!
Sake rice→100% Akaban Omachi
Rice polishing ratio→55
Alcohol content: 16 to 17 degrees Celsius Y.TokushigeThe first impression is like sweet and sour strawberries. After the sweetness, it is quickly followed by the umami acidity, and then the bitterness comes in quite a bit. It is floral, sweet and sour, and feels like spring.
Sake rice: 100% Tajima strong rice
Polishing ratio→50

I was told that it can be served hot, so I heated it up and found it to be juicy and full of flavor. Personally, I think it's best when heated!

Sake rice: 100% Kame-no-o
Rice polishing ratio: 55
Alcohol content→ 16 degrees Celsius 津島屋外伝 NorthWind Periwein 2023純米生酒 Y.TokushigeA truly sweet, fruity white wine! Apparently, they use yeast for German white wine. It is quite sweet, but it also has a refreshing acidic aftertaste, almost like a Riesling wine! The alcohol content is low, so you can drink it like a juice. Even people who don't like sake can drink it without feeling any discomfort.

Acidity → 1.6 Y.TokushigeA piquant fresh muscat feeling. It has a fresh muscat flavor, especially if you drink it without mixing in the oli. When mixed with Ori, it has a bitter flavor and a thicker taste. It has a fruity sweetness, but with a firm acidity, it is not sweet, but delicious! This is Sentori.

Hatsusao of Sentori is really delicious 😍.
This is Sentori❗️I know👍 Y.TokushigeSuper spicy, but not what is called dry strong. It is fruity, fresh, fragrant and dry. As the name "mellow" implies, the acidity, the taste, the sweetness, and the bitterness are all well balanced. And because it's dry, it's great as a food sake! Yabauma! A repeat purchase!

Yeast → AKITA snow country yeast (UT-1) Y.TokushigeIt has a gentle ginjo aroma, which I like because it is fruity.
The sweetness and umami come through with just the right amount of thickness, but the dryness is very refreshing and makes the sake go down a treat. I'm not a big fan of rich sake, but this one has just the right amount of richness for me personally, and can be enjoyed on its own or as a food sake.
I must try the blue label!
