KumakichiKangiku's Hashu Honor, which is released at the end of each year, was available again this year!
I mean, since it is released consecutively from Hakuginkai to Ginkai to Aizan to 39, there were still some left at some stores even at the beginning of the year, as if they had not run out of sales wholesale!
Hashu Honor is one of my five favorite Kangiku bottles, so it's nice to be able to buy it without worry! It was very fruity and exquisite! KumakichiThe last of the four Aizan bottles from the end of last year, Pray for2024 Aizan 40 by Kangiku Meikozo.
The last one was the Kangiku 40, the last one was the Kuraku, the last one was the Kamonishiki, the last one was the Aizan 40, the last one was the Kangiku 40....
The sweetness and flavor of Kangiku's sake was combined with a pleasant acidity! KumakichiThen a reminder of the drinks I had at the end of the year
Kawanakajima Genmai Hitogokochi Special Junmai
This is a fresh and fresh bottle!
This may be my first Hitogochochi Kawanakajima Genmai!
It was delicious with a refreshing acidity and clean taste! KumakichiThe third bottle of the New Year was a bottle of Miyamanishiki from Kawanakajima Genmai!
It is one of my favorite fruity bottles, and the freshness of the freshly squeezed flavor made it easy to drink!
It is one of my favorite fruity bottles, but the freshness of the freshly pressed bottle made it easy to drink! 
KumakichiHappy New Year!
I couldn't post very often during the New Year's holidays because I had a lot to drink if it's noon, so I posted while standing in line for the first sale!
On New Year's Day, after the date changed, I made a toast with a bottle of zodiac sign of two hares, which is typical at the beginning of the year!
Ni-Rabbit Zodiac Sign Bottle 2025 SNAKE & RABBIT Junmai Ginjo Manzai 55
The golden snake and rabbit label is cute and New Year's Eve-esque! This was my first time to try Manzai sake rice, and it was delicious with its rich flavor and acidity! ma-ki-Happy New Year, Kumakichi 🎍.
Thank you very much for your support during the old year🍀.
What a fitting New Year's offering for the zodiac bottle: ⤴️

I was able to spend the New Year's Eve and New Year's Holidays slowly enjoying drinks and relaxing. I envy you, your taco party looks so delicious & enjoyable! I look forward to working with you again in the New Year. KumakichiThe long-awaited Hakuginoumi by Kangiku Meikozo
Every year I drink it all up in an instant and can't compare it with Ginkai, so this year I got two bottles!
This year it was a little less sweet, but I still liked the taste and it was delicious! KumakichiThis year's annual sale of this item is now open!
We drink a variety of doburoku, but this is one that is enjoyable with its low alcohol content, mashiness, and sweet schwarziness!
It is especially recommended for those who are not good at drinking sake because they can enjoy the sweet-savory taste of rice! KumakichiCalpis for adults who want to drink it once in a while
Sanuki Kuraudei
A bottle with a low alcohol content of 6%, but with a direct bite of the sweetness of the rice.
It is also delicious to drink! フニャコ2024/10 Because out of grade rice is used, it cannot be named sake with a specific name and is treated as ordinary sake. KumakichiI love Kojo-nishiki, one of my favorite rice wine, so I always buy junmai-daiginjo and junmai-ginjo!
I have had many tasake, but this is one of my personal favorites!
It is as good as ever, and if I had a bottle, I would buy it without hesitation! KumakichiUpdate has been delayed due to heavy workload, so this is a summary update.
The first bottle is Kawanakajima Genmai Junmai Ginjo Aizan Unfiltered Nama-shu!
This is a bottle I drank last year and enjoyed it so much!
This year, I bought a bottle without hesitation!
It had the mellow sweetness and umami that is typical of Kawanakajima Genmai!

We purchase a full set of 4 bottles every year, but this year we purchased 2 bottles of our annual favorites due to refrigerator conflicts
New Sensation Koshihikari 90 Light nigori unfiltered unpasteurized sake
I have had several sake made from Koshihikari rice, but the Discovery series Koshihikari is my favorite!
Among the four bottles released at the same time, this Koshihikari is the first to be sold out, so it was an instant purchase!
That bottle was as sweet and delicious as ever! This year, it was not so much a bit bitter as it was a complete nigori, or a bit of a orizumi!
I enjoyed the rich rice flavor! KumakichiIt's been a while since I got this bottle at my favorite liquor store, so I opened it right away.

Since it was the first day of the month, we opened a bottle of Kangiku Leap Day, which we had stocked up on.
This is a very limited edition sake that is shipped on the leap year day that comes once every 4 years.
This special bottle is brewed with 29% polished Gohyakumangoku rice in honor of the leap year and tastes exquisite!
Despite the special specs, it is a great value at just under 2,500 yen!
Like a sweet-ripe grapefruit, it has a sweet and sour taste with a bitter aftertaste that is addictive!

Tasake Junmai Ginjo Comet
The red bottle of Comet is an annual must-have among Tasake's limited-edition sake.
The name and bottle design of the "Red Comet" is a heartwarming name and design for the Gundam generation.
The taste is a little hard? I had the impression that it was all sourness and sharpness without much sweetness and flavor, but it turned into something else on the third or fourth day!
The sweetness and flavorful expansion in the mouth is excellent, and when you drink it with a gulp, you will be very satisfied with the clean and crisp taste.
I was very satisfied with the clean and sharp taste when I drank it with a gulp.
