Pear and banana aroma.
When you drink it, it is juicy like an apricot.
It has a strong umami.
The sweetness is reminiscent of a flower oup.
The texture is beautiful and shiny.
It pulls out smoothly.
Taste 3.5/5

Haneya Junmai Ginjyo Aizan
I've had Haneya several times, but I've never posted about it here...
This is my first post about Aizan by Haneya (my husband is an Aizan devotee 🌾).
Light, raisin-like sweet aroma.
After tasting it, you will be surprised by the raisin-like aroma.
The rice is mildly sweet and delicious.
Light syrup texture.
Girly taste.
The taste is like it is melting smoothly.
Delicious!
Taste 4/5☆(Surprising)
Gorgeous aroma of white peaches and young mango.
Smooth and light texture with a slight effervescence.
Transparent and fruity sweetness,
The flavor of rice and umami. Beautiful acidity.
It has a gentle, low-alcoholic taste, but it is also delicious.
A refined cohesion.
This is clearly a good sake.
My favorite 5/5

Shinsei PRIVATE LAB EXTREME II
Ten Frog Clear Clear
You must drink it! I was in a dash for the regular time of working from home (my husband didn't finish his work and I was alone), so I thought, "I have to go early or I'll lose it! I had to run to the bar to have a drink! (3/3)
I'll have another clear one at the end with a refill 😋.

You should definitely drink it! I was in a dash for the regular time of working from home (my husband didn't finish his work and I was alone), so I thought, "I have to go early or I'll lose it! I had to run to the bar to have a drink! (2/3)
I had a clear dry one, too 🥂.

After that, I had a Clear Dry and one more glass of this ☺️. I can't get enough of it!

SENKOKU x IMADEYA Golden Kabuto
This is definitely the No. 1 sake that will remain in my heart in 2024 🥇! Combined with the taste, rarity and the cute label!
The usual rainbow 🌈 is cute, but the gold beetle, how cute!
It was delicious. Ramuney feeling, my favorite flavor. I had 2 glasses that day.
At that time, I thought, "I'll definitely have it again next year! But it seems that it was only available last year, which also means "I want to drink it again! But I can't drink it..." in the sense that it is one of the best in 2024 in my opinion 🥹🏆.
When I went to IMADEYA for a drink the week after this, I saw several customers who had come to pick up this Kinkabu-chan from the hanpukumi. How envious! 😍
🍶
Finally got around to doing this post... my husband posted in real time last year and I had a stack of past ones I hadn't uploaded, so I thought I'd put them in chronological order... it's been over a year now lol!

Senkou × UNITED ARROWS UA Sakura Blizzard
My "For some reason, I always drink pink sake when I find it..." series 🌸🌸.
This one also doesn't say on the label but it's red yeast. (It was right around the time when red yeast was causing a stir, so the liquor store's sales page said something like "this is red yeast, so it's okay.")
