Timeline
こるね＜Refreshingly pithy, soft, acidic and bitter.
The aroma is slightly sweet and bitter with a hint of rice.
The mouthfeel is slightly carbonated and softly acidic and bitter. From there, the sweet flavor spreads softly, but the center is still acidity and bitterness.
The nose has a pleasantly refreshing freshness, and the aftertaste is also bitter.
Overall, it is characterized by the bitterness of the lees. It is better to drink it with a meal than by itself. It also goes well with the continued entrée, "Fried egg with kikurage and pork".
Delicious!
If I were to compare it to Ghibli, it would be Anna, the main character in "Marnie of the Memories". Bitter, refreshing and cute.

こるね＜Slightly sweet and bitter →Gentle bitterness slowly seeps in.
The aroma is mysterious, with mineral and herb-like flavors.
In the mouth, there is a subtle sweet bitterness, followed slowly by bitterness. It is a beautiful and gentle bitterness with a sense of minerality. It's a bittersweet taste. Somehow, I feel the breath of the forest and the earth.
After swallowing, the aftertaste quickly disappears and is refreshing. The overt aroma is also centered on bitterness, with a hint of sweetness.
It is delicious.
If we were to compare this Yoshida Kurau to Ghibli, it would be like Kodama from "Princess Mononoke". It is something mysterious like a spirit or an innocent child in the forest of the Deer God. Written in Chinese characters, it is "Kirei," or "spirit of the trees. It is a being that is the very embodiment of the breath of the forest and the earth. By the way, according to the official Ghibli setting, the only Kodama left in the last scene will become Totoro several hundred years later.

こるね＜Honey, sweet, sour, burnt, bitter, zun, 100 year old sake.
Hyakunen-kijoshu means that the sake to be added is the previous year's Hyakunen-kijoshu. In other words, the year before last's Hyakunen Kijoshu is also included in that sake, so if this is repeated for 100 years, you will have a Kijoshu that contains all the sake from the past 100 years. A lot of romance!
The color is slightly light amber.
The aroma is mainly honey sweet with a hint of ripe bitter acidity. The burnt taste, like slightly blackened toast, is conversely intriguing.
In the mouth, the rich honey sweetness and acidity is melt-in-your-mouth sweet! The burnt bitterness is also zhuzhun! I think there is some umami, but it is hidden behind the rich sweet and sour bitter taste.
The sweetness lingers in the aftertaste and disappears unexpectedly lightly. It is a very neat that it disappears without leaving a bad feeling even though it has such a strong claim.
If I were to use a Ghibli analogy, it would be the Grand Mamare from "Ponyo on the Cliff. Ponyo's mother, the Queen of the Sea. As her name suggests, she is a great mother. She is terrifyingly beautiful and powerful.

こるね＜Clearly, grapefruit acid pacan
This sake is made in the perverse (a word of praise) process of single-stage brewing.
The color is a clear, pale white.
The aroma is a strange encounter between grapefruit and the delicious sweetness of rice. It is a type of sake that I have never smelled before.
The impression in the mouth is also grapefruit and rice sweetness. The palate is also a combination of grapefruit and rice sweetness, with a hint of bitter-sweetness and a clear, citrusy acidity. Acid!
The acidity is quite characteristic. The acidity seems to last forever, but it quickly recedes at the last moment, leaving behind a strange sweet, bitter, and astringent flavor. There is an astringent taste that makes the inside of the mouth feel squeezed.
It is a good choice for those who like sour sake. But for me, it is not my favorite type. I thought it was supposed to have more sweetness, but it was overshadowed by the impact of the sourness.
If I were to use a Ghibli analogy, I would compare it to Anna in "Marnie: A Memoir". She is the Anna of the first half of the movie. She is a bitterness of tsun who has not opened up her heart.

こるねWakamusume Hana Tachibana
Citrus and fresh, rich flavor
A slightly sweet and bitter acidity. It has a slightly refreshing citrus acidity and a nigori-like sweetness and bitterness.
From there, the sweetness and bitterness gently fade away. It is gentle but rich in flavor. Chestnuts and rice flowers are also soft and fluffy. It is delicious.
The entrée was cheese marinated in miso, which I had just had the other day. It is an iron plate. The gentle richness of the cream cheese, the slightly tasty miso paste, and the accompanying wasabi are a perfect match. It goes well with sake.

The main character in the Ghibli movie, "Ears to the Past," is called Shizuku. She is sweet, cute, fresh, and a bit troubled. It is a coincidence that the rice is Nishitoshizuku. It is a scene where she is struggling with her creation because of the bitter taste.

こるね<Fruity, altsun-acid sweet, beautiful.
Champion = World's Best Sake at the International Wine Challenge (IWC) 2021, an international sake competition.
The aroma is al-amaz-tsun. Oh, it has a clear alcoholic taste. But it is beautiful and of high quality. There is also a slight fruity muscat flavor.
When you put it in your mouth, the beautiful fruity, acidic, and sweet flavors dance clearly and lightly. This is a beauty.
The flavor gently fades away, but the hints that appear instead are also wonderful. The fruity slight bitterness of the altsun flavor beautifully escapes into the nose and makes you fall in love.
It has a clear alcoholic taste, so it may not be suitable for beginners. But for those who can enjoy it, it is a must-try. It was delicious!
If I were to use a Ghibli analogy, it would be Gigliola from "Red Pig". Fio's, extremely beautiful sister. She knows very well that she is beautiful, has confidence, and is a bit pouty. But that's what I like about her.
Satisfaction: ★★★★☆

こるね＜Pistachio, sweet and bitter, juicy.
The aroma is slightly sweet nutty. All three bottles in this series have a nutty flavor. Junmai Daiginjo was peanuts, BLACK was almonds, but Pink has a pistachio freshness.
In the mouth, it is firm, gentle, sweet and bitter. The juicy melon feeling makes me happy. And from the very beginning, the sweet and bitter aroma is suddenly overwhelming! Oh, yum! The aroma and sweetness are the most distinct among the three.
It is sweet, but not too sweet. It is bitter, but that is also cute.
The specs are as follows
Sake: Junmai Ginjo
Rice: Omachi from the Akaban district of Okayama Prefecture
Rice polishing ratio: 60
Alcohol content: 16% ・・・ high
It is like Umi, the main character in "From Up On Poppy Hill" in Ghibli. It has a lot of sweetness and bitterness, and is very cute.
Satisfaction: ★★★★☆

こるね＜Almonds, a hint of melon, sweet and fluffy.
The aroma is almond + rice sweetness. The Junmai Daiginjo also had a peanut-like nuttiness, but BLACK has a slightly stronger almondiness to it.
In the mouth, there is a slight melon sweetness. From there, the sweetness swells a little, while a moderate acidity and umami also appear. The complex sweetness, umami, and bitterness are pleasant.
It is a quiet and cute little guy.
But when I paired it with chicken liver, it was delicious. It is quiet, but has a solid core.
As it warms up a little, the acidity asserts itself a little bit, which is also cute.
If I were to use a Ghibli analogy, it would be Yuko from "From Up On Poppy Hill. She is a friend of Umi, the main character, and is the girl who eats anpan (buns). I thought she was a quiet and weak character, but then, near the end of the film, she starts singing solo in the chorus scene! It was pretty ballsy of her to sing solo in that situation.

こるね＜Peanuts, not sweet but fruity.
PB started to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Mochizuki Shoten, a liquor store in Kanagawa, in 2019.
The aroma is deep, slightly nutty acidic flavor. The acidity is soft lactic acid. The nuttiness is not that strong, it's about peanut. Peanuts are legumes, so they are not really nuts (trivia), but since it is a "nutty" flavor, it is safe to say that it is nutty. Most nutty drinks are classic, but this one is rather modern.
The mouthfeel is smooth and tart with a hint of sweetness. The sweetness is subdued. It has a fruity acidity that is not sweet, like that of a makwauly, followed by a rice-enrichment flavor. The complex flavor of the overtone is like that of Omachi. Wow!
If I were to use a Ghibli analogy, it would be Nobuko from "From Up On Poppy Hill". She is the daughter of a plasterer and friend of the main character, Umi. She is not only cute, but also cool.

こるね＜Fruity! Dry Acid Al Blowing through
Nice to meet you, Mr. Kameizumi, who is not CEL-24.
The aroma is al sweet acid. Oh? Unexpected muscat fruity. Looks delicious.
When you put it in your mouth, you will be hit with a hard acid al-sweet. From the beginning, the sweet-alcoholic aroma also blows through. It has a strong alcohol taste. But it is delicious.
Muscat sourness and moderate lychee sweetness. Of course, it is a totally different type from CEL-24. But this one is ummah!
Sorry. To be honest, I didn't expect that much. I thought it would be classic dry, and I just wanted to drink it as an experience. But when I tried it, I found that dry is dry, but fruity, about 135 degrees above my expectations. It was delicious!
To use a Ghibli analogy, she is the Pejite girl who exchanged clothes with Nausicaa in "Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind". She is a beautiful girl with slightly dangling eyes and a strong will. But there is nothing thorny about her, and she is cute.

こるね＜Resurrection warehouse! Bitter, but beautiful.
The aroma is sweet rice with a hint of alcohol. Wow, the alcohol taste is surprisingly clear.
In the mouth, there is a strong sweetness and bitterness with a hint of sourness from the start. From there, the bitterness is followed by a splash of alcohol.
Why?
Even though the bitterness is so strong, it is not bad at all, and even gives a beautiful impression. Yum!
The sweet-alcoholic overtone and the slow aftertaste are also very nice.
It was delicious!
The specs are
Sake: Junmai Ginjyo Nama Genjyo
Rice: Yumesansui (79%), Yamadanishiki (21%)
Polishing ratio: 50%.

こるね＜Refreshingly piquant, sweet and bitter, light bitterness.
The color is light nigori.
The mouthfeel is piquant, and suddenly it is sweet, sweet, sour and bitter! Then, sweetness comes in! The sweetness fills the mouth, and the bitterness comes out at the end.
However, it is not too sweet even though it swells up with sweetness. Just the right amount of sweetness. And because it has a solid structure, it can be easily paired with a meal.
The specs are as follows
Sake: Oragami Nama-shu, second fermentation in bottle, sparkling
Rice: Ginga from Iwate Prefecture
Rice polishing ratio: 50
Alcohol content: 13% ・・・ low

こるね＜Soft, acidic, soft, sweet, lovely.
The aroma is softly acidic with a hint of citrus. It is slightly citrus-centric, with a hint of sweetness and flavor of rice in the background.
The mouthfeel is a mild citrus acidity. The sweetness follows from behind. Surprisingly, the sweetness is not so strong. Sourness is the center. But it is a soft acidity wrapped in sweetness, and there is no spiky part at all. It is a lovely sour-sweet.
The specs are as follows
Structure: Kijoshu, unfiltered unpasteurized sake
Rice polishing ratio: 60
Alcohol content: 13%.

The opening scene of "Red Pig" can be likened to the scene in Ghibli.
Porco is first lying on a deck chair on the beach, waiting for a phone call. In this scene, Porco knows the request to rescue the female student is coming, and he's standing by ready to go. He has sweet fantasies after rescuing the schoolgirl. But what was actually waiting for me was the lively freshness of a young girl. This is cute, though.

こるね<Solidly sweet, bitter, refreshing, smoky
The top aroma is slightly banana and a mysterious acidity.
It is sweet and bitter from the moment it enters the mouth. The rich bitterness, which is typical of nigori, is pleasant. The sweetness is clearly banana, with a hint of rummy.
This is a good nigori for summer. It has a strong flavor and sweetness, but there is nothing sticky about it. It would be nice to take it outside and drink it on the beach. It is best served chilled, but room temperature is also possible.
The specs are
Sake: Special Junmai Nigori Nama Shu
Rice : Koji rice/Kamiho, Kake rice/Koshihikari produced in Mie Prefecture
Rice Polishing Ratio: Koji Rice - 55%, Kake Rice - 60
Alcohol percentage : 15% ・・・ Normal

It is like Sun from "Princess Mononoke" in Ghibli. It is the Sun in the latter half of the movie. Dere sweet and refreshingly bitter. Not the fresh fruity freshness, but a freshness with a strong bitterness but full of vitality.

こるね＜Juicy, slightly sweet lemon.
This is a summer sake newly released this year by our favorite Omine, with low alcohol content of 12.5%.
The illustration on the bottle is by Misaki Tanaka, the same illustrator who did the illustration for Yuki-Onna, Omine's winter nigori sake. The eroticism in the slightly retro touch is nice.
The aroma is very slightly lemon and rice flavor. It is so mild that you would not notice it if you are not careful.
When you put it in your mouth, you will feel the juicy acidity with a hint of sweet lemon. It is lemon, but it is gentle and not harsh. From there, the natural sweetness comes through. In the latter half, it gradually fades away and before you know it, it's gone. Despite the sweet and sour taste, it is very light and refreshing.
If I were to compare it to Ponyo from "Ponyo on the Cliff" in Ghibli, it would be Ponyo. I thought of it because of the mermaid association, and the taste matches the mermaid. It conveys a straightforward feeling of love that has nothing to do with adult ties or calculations.
Satisfaction: ★★★★

こるね＜A sense of maturity, a firm flavor, and alcohol.
The aroma is mature sweet and tasty alcohol. I was worried because it's an aged draft sake, but it's not twisted at all. Rather, the alcohol even has a fresh feel to it. It is strange to have both matured and fresh at the same time. But there is no doubt about this aroma. It is definitely a delicious one.
The palate is thick and rich in flavor and acidity. From there, the taste and the alcohol sensation are wow! This is then followed by a lingering aftertaste. Wow!
There is sweetness in the back, but it is still a deliciously spicy sake with a powerful flavor and a strong alcohol taste. It's so delicious!
If I were to use a Ghibli analogy, it would be Jill from "Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind". He is Nausicaa's father. He is Nausicaa's father, about 2 years before the story. Of course, there is no such scene, so this is my imagination.
When he was still drinking in Möwe.

こるね＜Sweet and sour, spreading sweetness, with a hint of bitterness
It was my first time to try this sake, Arando from Yamagata's Sugiyu Warabioka Sake Brewery. It has a sweet taste, so I ordered it for the end of the day. I don't know this brand at all, but it's from Yamagata, so I have high expectations for it.
The color was clear and clean.
The aroma was melon alcohol and a hint of muscat acidity.
When I put it in my mouth, it's sweet and sour... It's fruity and sweet as I expected. From the mid-palate, the sweetness opens up further and becomes bitter. The bitterness lingers in the throat a bit, but it's still delicious!
If I were to compare it to Ghibli, I would say it's like Mr. Caproni in "The Wind Rises. He is a famous Italian airplane design engineer who appears in the dreams of the main character, Jiro. He talks about a very sweet dream, but also contains a bitter taste. The last scene is full of bitterness.
Satisfaction: ★★★★

こるね＜Juicy, lactic acid citrus, lightly muddied
The color is a light yellowish color.
The aroma is of fresh lactic acid citrus.
In the mouth, it is slightly carbonated. It is juicy with lemon and pineapple acidity and a hint of bitterness. In the second half, the bitterness and flavor of the lees spread slowly, and the aftertaste lingers softly. A hint of alcohol is also present.
I would like to pair this with meat dishes. It is crisp and fresh.
As for the specs, well, I'll stop there.
I checked five different sites and they all said different things, so I don't know which one to believe.
If I were to use a Ghibli analogy, I would say the girl in "The Wind Rises" who did not receive Siberia.
In the middle of the story, Jiro, the main character, tries to "give" Siberia to children who seem to be waiting for their parents. But the older sister among them refuses. She is still small and pretty, but she is proud and proudly beautiful.
