Oki Daikichi Honten, Fukushima Aizan Nakadori Junmai Ginjo Banshu Aiyama 83 Polishing ratio 60 Alcohol content 15 Nearly colorless crystal with a sense of transparency. The first impression of the aroma is gorgeous rice melon, green apple, white dumpling, and a hint of cinnamon. First impression on the palate is a little light, but soon after, the rice flavor is strongly felt. Thick enough to have firm legs, elegant sweetness, fine acidity, and a moderate bitterness at the end. Overall, the balance is smooth with strong rice flavor. A moderate lingering aftertaste I would recommend this sake to those who are not good at sake, it is very easy to drink. I like to drink it cold. As the temperature rises, the aroma of rice can be felt more strongly, which is also a nice sensation. What would you like to serve with it? I think of Japanese food as an appetizer, such as tofu paste with cheese, or a combination of fruit and vinegar. I think it would also go well with fatty, high quality meat. I don't know, maybe a peach sauce. I'll give it a try sometime.

Imanishi Seibei Shoten, Nara Prefecture Harushika, Junmai, Super-hashikuchi, Nama-shu, Onizakari Rice polishing ratio 60 Alcohol content 18 Pale yellow in color with a sense of transparency. The first impression of the aroma is fresh and full. Grapefruit, Kashiwa Mochi, Ramune The first impression on the palate is light but firm. Slight sweetness, fine and sharp acidity, moderate bitterness, and a good balance of umami and dryness. The lingering aftertaste is rather short and cut off firmly. Anyway, the label is cool! I think it is a sake with a distinct personality that is easy to recommend to people who like umami and spicy food. I have the impression that it can be used with all kinds of food. I'd like to pair it with tempura since it cuts well. In my current mood, I would like to drink it with squid tempura with salt. I feel like I can drink it while eating a Ramune because I can feel its Ramune flavor.

Fukui Prefecture - Echizen Cape Tank pressing Junmai-shu Fire-aged 100% Gohyakumangoku produced in Fukui Prefecture Rice polishing ratio 60 Alcohol content 16%. Nearly colorless yellow with a sense of transparency. The first impression of the aroma is elegant brown sugar. Caramel, coffee, and a hint of yogurt First impression of taste is rather strong Mild sweetness, gentle acidity, moderate bitterness Overall impression is smooth with a light sense of maturity A moderate lingering aftertaste It is easy to drink while feeling the sense of maturity. You can drink it with a sense of umami, but it is not that assertive, so it is relatively versatile with food. I would like to pair it with fish. I think it would be a great sake to drink with fish, such as yuzu-an grilled bonito, while enjoying the delicate flavor of the fish. It would also be nice to drink it while chewing brown sugar from a delicious remote island in Okinawa.

Aichi Prefecture Raku-no-Se Yamahai Junmai, bottle-hitched Aichi Yumematsuri Netsukake 4-stage brewing Alcohol content 18 Polishing ratio 70%. Nearly colorless yellow with a sense of transparency. The first impression of the aroma is of plump yogurt. apple, clove, steamed straw, caramel, and strong alcohol. First impression on the palate is strong. Full sweetness, firm acidity, and a good amount of bitterness with a delicious finish. Rich but not too persistent balance, with a good lingering aftertaste. I wonder if the aroma of yogurt is an off-flavor for sake. But personally, I like it very much. The first time I felt it was with Kozumizuru's Namahoshi Junmai. I loved to drink it slightly warmed up! Of course, Raku no se is also quite tasty warmed up! No, I think it really comes into its own when it's heated up! What would be a good dish? I have an image of meat rather than fish! I'd like to drink it with meatballs with sweet and sour sauce. I'd prefer something with thick onions in it. For fish, maybe nanbanzuke? No, I'd prefer something with a bit more punch. Maybe with some spices. Come to think of it, Kouzutsuru goes well with crab, so maybe we could go with crab? I'll go buy some crab.

Hi Mura909, nice to meet you 😃 Good evening. Just the other day I drank a bottle of this sake ☺️ and I felt it really came into its own when it was warmed up 🍶. I also like the sake with a milky aroma: ☺️ Your comments on the pairing are interesting and informative 😊.

Okayama Sankan Omachi Junmai Sake Unfiltered unpasteurized sake 100% Omachi grown in Okayama Prefecture Rice polishing ratio 65 Alcohol content 18.5 Crystal with a transparent pale yellow color. The first impression of the aroma is the fullness of rice. banana, muscat, a little lychee, and joshin powder. The first impression on the palate is somewhat strong, as is typical of unfiltered unpasteurized sake. Mellow sweetness with a sense of thickening. Rounded acidity is followed by a moderate bitterness. Overall, the impression is mellow while still feeling the strength of unfiltered unpasteurized sake. There is a moderate aftertaste. There is also the Sankan Junmai Sake Rice Asahi, which I have been enjoying recently, but I prefer the Omachi, which has a slightly more complex flavor. My first encounter with it was after it had been aged for several years. At an event, the master of the restaurant casually recommended it to me and I enjoyed it so much that, after drinking quite a lot, I said to myself, "Wow, this is good! Delicious! I was so impressed with the taste that I said to myself, "Wow! I think I'll try aging it fresh. It would also be delicious warmed up.

Shinmasa Shuzo, Akita Prefecture, Japan White malted rice 13%, Kyokai No.6 wooden vat The appearance is transparent crystal with a slightly pale yellow color. The first impression of the aroma is refreshing. Grapefruit, muscatel, and koshin powder. The first impression on the palate is rather strong. Distinctive acidity, elegant sweetness, moderate bitterness. Smooth balance with a rather short aftertaste Strong citrus acidity. It would probably go well with pasta with tomato sauce, or even pizza. In Japanese cuisine, it might go surprisingly well with yuzu-an-roasted bonito, or perhaps it is too subtle, Or, instead of squeezing lemon juice on fried oysters, it might be subtle, too, I'll try it next time.

Akita Prefecture Shinmasa Shuzo Akita Kame-no-o Appearance is crystal clear and nearly colorless First impression of the aroma is refreshing Shine muscat, lychee, slight grapefruit, clean rice that has been polished First impression of the taste is light Elegant sweetness, refreshing acidity, moderate bitterness Smooth balance with a rather short aftertaste I tried it with Shine Muscat because it felt like Shine Muscat. This was different. The sweetness of the fruit won out and the flavor of the sake disappeared. It is not good to bring everything together, is it? I learned a lot. I think it goes quite well with cream cheese. The cream cheese tasted like it had been doused in honey. I think it added a flavor that was missing from the alcohol by itself.

Transparent, slightly dark topaz. Banana, aromatic wood, cinnamon, smoke, strong alcohol. The first impression on the palate is quite strong, with a full-bodied sweetness, firm acidity, mild bitterness, overall a rich and powerful balance with a subtle umami, and a good lingering finish. It is a powerful sake, so it is also delicious warmed up to a firm temperature. The sweetness has settled down and it is like an elegant Shaoxing sake. It is a robust sake that reminded me of Shaoxing sake, so I paired it with a pepper-aubergine tofu dish. From shibi, Miyako-bijin, shibi, Miyako-bijin, ah, an endless loop! It also goes well with the shrimp mayo I made with it. If it goes well with shrimp mayo, it must also go well with okonomiyaki. Next time I have okonomiyaki, I will drink it.

Pale crystal with transparency. Moderate floral, pear, melon, white flowers, white dumplings Slightly strong first impression, mild sweetness, rounded acidity, bitterness with umami, mellow balance, slightly long finish. The impression is that it is a beautiful Yamadanishiki Junmai Ginjo with a slightly stronger umami. I think the sweetness is too much when it is warmed up, I prefer it cold. I would like to drink it with smoked cheese or something, or maybe a washed cheese is more appropriate, or maybe with scraps of blue cheese. Raisin butter would be good, too, I think it would be delicious with a bite of a cheinmuscat. I'll buy some tomorrow and give it a try.

Good evening, Mura909-san. I'm Hirupeko, the same Orihime University for your installations. I didn't realize that even Touka-san is a sakéwasan 😳 I'm looking forward to tomorrow's gorgeous pairing of Hyakutenmanuten and Shinemuscat 😊.

I'm glad to hear it too. ‼️The 100 Tenma Manten upsurge alone was a surprise, but it was a real surprise😆 And the tasting comment was also a quintessential one. I'm thinking of having lunch at the library next week. Looking forward to it 😊.

Tamagawa Ice Breaker 2019BY Aged 5 years Slightly hazy dark yellow. Banana, cloves, steamed straw, paulownia chest Fairly strong impact, full sweetness, firm acidity, mellow impression with umami accompanied by bitterness, slightly long finish When heated hot, the spread of the flavor is brought together. I think I prefer this one if I want to drink it in a leisurely manner. No, I like both. When I tried it with mackerel sushi, the hotter version gave a better sense of unity. I felt a bit of fishiness when it was hiya (room temperature). I was once told by the toji (master brewer) of a brewery Why is Tamagawa's sake so strong? He replied, "Because Harper's sake is the real thing. He replied, "Because Harper's sake is the real thing. He replied, "Because Harper's sake is the real thing. Hmmm, what is "real" and what is the opposite, "fake"? I think I asked him what happened next since we were drinking, but I don't remember. I will ask again.

Slightly pale yellow with transparency. First impression is mellow and powerful Rice bales in the warehouse, direct alcohol, chestnuts Strong flavor, weak sweetness. Bitterness with umami leaves a slight aftertaste Powerful and lingering. Closest impression to Junmai Harazake, which I liked but has been discontinued. It has a strong alcohol taste with umami, so I would like to pair it with spicy food. I would like to drink it with chicken sprinkled with crazy salt, or perhaps a Big Mac with pepper. (I like Big Mac).

Slightly pale yellow with transparency. Mellow impression with a hint of ripeness. Banana, almond, cooked rice, caramel, clove-type spices. The first impression on the palate is strong, with moderate sweetness, firm acidity, and a full-bodied bitterness that does not linger. Rich but not clingy impression. The lingering finish is also moderate. I would like to match it with a solid meal as it is full and spicy. Pork stew with octagonal flavor, yellowtail cooked with arabesque sauce. It would go well with a Big Mac. Also, it would be delicious to drink it while biting into delicious brown sugar from a remote island in Okinawa.

Slightly pale crystal with transparency. The nose is gentle, with pear, a little melon, white dumplings, and a hint of yogurt. The first impression is of a robust flavor. Elegant sweetness, sharp acidity, low bitterness, clean and dry impression, short aftertaste Impression of bitterness becomes slightly stronger when heated. I think I like to drink it cold with a glass. It seems to go well with tempura because of its sharp impression.

We had it warmed. Gentle rice flavor, gentle genmaicha (brown rice tea) with soup stock added + a hint of corn tea Aftertaste: soft and pleasant. Twisted umami: The lower the temperature, the stronger the twisted aroma and umami of old sake becomes.
