My favorite red-built NEWBORN ✕ my favorite love mountain] = my absolute favorite flavor!
I was so excited when I heard it was on sale that I bravely went to the liquor store before it arrived!
I was so excited that I went to the liquor store before it arrived!
On the first day, I enjoyed the freshness of the wine and the drinkable flavor of Aizan, with some shwashiness blended into the sweetness of the wine!
On the third day, the sizzling settled down and the taste mellowed out, which was also delicious!

I stopped by on my weekly booze drive and bought a bottle after seeing it for the first time and it caught my eye.
The illustration of a spring-like yellow flower and the beautiful blue bottle caught my eye, and when I looked at the label on the back, I saw that it was from a sake brewery in Aomori Prefecture, and that it was a Junmai Daiginjo made from 100% Hana-Moi...
I bought it because I love Aomori's Hanasoui, which is made from rice suitable for sake brewing, and which I received at Tasake in Aomori Prefecture.
It was a bit expensive at 2,000 yen for 500 ml, but I opened it right away!
The taste was very clean and refreshing!
The attack of the aroma was tame, but once you take a sip, the elegant sweetness and gorgeous flavor spread quickly, and you could enjoy the clean acidity and minerality.
I was going to drink it in small sips, but I finished it in less than an hour!
Rice polishing ratio: 40% (100% Hwasoi)
Alcohol content: 15 to 16 degrees Celsius

Enjoy a bottle that always amazes you, the Watanabe Sake Brewery's Double Brew from Hida, Gifu.
The Aizan 50 from here was amazing...
First of all, the price! Even though it is brewed by polishing Aizan to 50%, the price of Aizan 50 is only 1,700 yen.......
I had to look twice when I first saw it.
The taste is Junmai Daiginjo-class, with a pronounced sweetness that is typical of W and a full-bodied flavor that is typical of Aizan.
The taste was comparable to that of a Junmai Daiginjo that normally costs more than 3,000 yen!

I drank a bottle of this last year and it was the one that got me hooked on Akabu.
AKABU NEWBORN Yuzu no Kou
A junmai ginjo made from Iwate Prefecture's finest sake rice, Yunokou, polished to a luxurious 50%.
It has a fresh aroma with a hint of apple and a rich umami flavor with a crisp and clear finish.
We had a Junmai Daiginjo last month, but the Junmai Ginjo was delicious and cost-effective enough!
This one is priced at 2,200 yen including tax!

Opening a bottle of Hiragana "Takachiyo" Sakazukin Xmas label on Christmas Day.
This bottle of Houjun Mujin makes a difference as soon as you pour it into a glass!
First of all, the sweet aroma of rich rice is superb! Milky sweetness and flavor as if you are biting into the rice!
The rich taste is so rich, yet it is so easy to enjoy!

I was feeling a bit groggy after work, so I opened a bottle of my favorite brew to keep my spirits up.
This was the first time I opened a bottle of Yozan Ichidokusui, and it is a very drinkable bottle!
This Daiginjo brewed with 40% polished Yamadanishiki is a well-balanced bottle that is both offensive and defensive!
The aroma is pleasant with a fresh acidity from the first sip, and the sweet and delicious acidity that is typical of Saku penetrates through, but the lingering aftertaste that is typical of Daiginjos is delicious!
It is a bottle that can be enjoyed without any snacks and sipped in small sips.

Pre-order the excellent doburoku, an annual tradition at this time of year, again this year!
I have had doburoku from many different breweries, but this one is by far the best and my favorite!
You can feel the sweetness of the rice directly, but also the crisp acidity and the gaseous sensation when you crush the rice grains with your tongue.
It's low in alcohol, so it's a bottle that you can easily drink!
Alcohol content: 5%.

While browsing the lineup at my favorite liquor store, I suddenly noticed that in the refrigerator dedicated to gift boxes, there was an Aizan Junmai Daiginjo from Nabeshima tucked away!
A Junmai Daiginjo made by that Aizan of Nabeshima!
How could it not be delicious? I know the answer for sure, but I wanted to taste this one at any cost, so I immediately bought it and opened the bottle!
The production date is August 2022, so even though it has been laid down for about 4 months, it still has a nice, fresh feeling at the time of opening!
However, after taking a sip, the harmony of sweetness, deliciousness, and acidity in harmony with the deliciousness of Aizan is superb!
Out of the nearly 300 bottles I drank this year, this was definitely one of my BEST 5 favorites! It comes in a box, and at 3,000 yen, it's not cheap, but it's a bottle that I'm fully satisfied with!

A bottle of Junmai Daiginjo, a new sake from "Saku", which was especially highly anticipated among the rush of new sake.
I had made up my mind to stock up on it for the New Year's holidays, but I couldn't resist...
The taste was fresh and new sake-like, while retaining the gorgeous & mellow flavor of Saku!
It was a bottle that I could enjoy sipping on without a side dish.

I had a bottle last year and it was so good that I repeated it several times.
This is the first in a series of freshly pressed, freshly milled, freshly squeezed, freshly brewed sake from 寫樂.
It has the mellow flavor that is typical of 寫樂, but the freshness of the new sake makes it hard to stop drinking!
I challenge you to see how many times you can repeat this year!

One recommendation from a person I met on SNS.
A bottle of Yoshidagurau, a private brand of Yoshida Shuzo, famous for Tedorigawa, for a limited time only
A bottle brewed with 30% polished Hyakumangoku No Shiro produced in Ishikawa Prefecture, a well-balanced bottle!
You can enjoy the clear and refreshing sweetness, but when you swallow it, the balance between the pleasant acidity and the gradually expanding umami is superb!
It was a bit pricey, but it is a bottle that I will surely repeat!

Yamada Nishiki series by 寫樂
This pattern, which must be delicious, makes me want to buy a bottle on impulse every time!
This year we decided to go with Tojo Yamadanishiki Junmai Ginjo, single exposure.
It has a fresh yet gorgeous aroma and a rich sweetness, but it also has a beautifully clean finish, which is typical of 寫樂!

Last month we had the NEWBORN Junmai -> NEWBORN Junmai Ginjo from Akabu and it was so good that we got the Junmai Daiginjo Namaishu, which is a one rank up from the previous version!
The Junmai Daiginjo is about 2,600 yen, but it comes in a box, which makes it look all the more luxurious, but I have to take my hat off to the taste...
The Junmai-Daiginjo was delicious enough, but the more concentrated sweetness and umami was so good that I was enchanted!

Today is 11/11 Standing is Drinking Day, and just when I was planning to drink standing up, I had to work overtime and couldn't drink standing up, so I drank at home,...
I opened a bottle of Akabu NEWBORN Junmai Ginjo at the counter kitchen to enjoy the standing drinking mood!
Last week we had a bottle of NEWBORN junmai sake, and this time it was a junmai ginjo, which tasted even better than the previous one!
The fresh, sweet and delicious taste of nama-zake is as fruity as a pear!
I loved its gorgeous aroma and refreshing taste!

Good evening, Kumakichi!
I see today is also the day for standing up and having a drink!
Zoro day is indeed full of anniversaries 😂👍
I don't have much experience with standing drinking.
I've never had a chance to drink standing up, so I admire you for being a drinker 🥰.

Good evening, Mr. Kashu kanon! My favorite standing bar said they would serve rare sake today, but I couldn't go...............tears!
I like to sit down and relax, but I also like to drink sake while standing up because it has its own taste!

Otter's Kanzukuri Hayabune freshly squeezed raw, which you will want to drink at this time of the year.
Most of the Otters on the market are fire-aged and have a uniform taste, but I can't help but want to drink the Otter Nama-shu, which is only available for a limited time and in limited quantities!
And when it's made with a 30%-90% polishing ratio, it's bound to be good!
When you open the bottle, you will hear the pleasant sound of the bottle being opened.
When you take a sip, it has a refreshing fruity taste like green apples and a freshness that stimulates your taste buds!

After enduring hard work, we opened a bottle of Junmai NEWBORN by Akabu Shuzo.
It was my first time to drink Akabu NEWBORN, so I took my time and found it to be a light but enjoyable bottle!
NEWBORN has a fresh, petit-swirling mouthfeel due to the fact that it is a draft sake. It has a slightly bitter and complex flavor that can be enjoyed as a mid-meal drink or on its own.
At only 1,540 yen for this one, I'd make it my resident sake!

November is the season when you can enjoy more and more delicious food and drinks as you feel the arrival of winter!
We opened a bottle of Bizen Omachi by 寫樂, a sake that I personally believe never fails among food sake!
The aroma is gorgeous and fruity from the first sip, and the sweetness and deliciousness is like biting into a Shine Muscat!
What's that? I thought I opened it a while ago, but it's almost gone... The price has skyrocketed recently, but it's a delicious bottle with no disappointments.
