The last of the four sake to be compared is a junmai kan-no-shu from the Morinokura Shuzo brewery in Kurume City, back in Fukuoka Prefecture.
This sake was brewed with Fukuoka rice milled down to 75% and served at 14% alcohol by volume for warming up.
This time it was served at room temperature.
It has a strong yellowish hue, and after the watery sensation on the palate, there is a harmonious attack of bitterness and acidity, with a volatile, glue-like aroma in the mouth.
I would definitely like to try it warmed up at various temperatures, from kamikan, to hot kan, to tobikiri kan, and more.
Sumiyoshi Shuppan, where we had the opportunity to compare four different types of sake called "Irohani Masu," is located in the Daytos building at Hakata Station, making it easy to get to and try and purchase Kyushu sake.
The sake lineup is also very nice and highly recommended. If you have a chance to stop by, by all means!

This is a dry special junmai sake handmade by Takakiya V from Hamashima Shuzo in Oita Prefecture.
The koji rice is Yamadanishiki with a milling ratio of 50%, and the kake rice is Hinohikari, a rice rice variety, with a milling ratio of 55%, brewed with No. 9 yeast at 16.8% alcohol by volume. Sake degree +10, acidity 1.4.
According to the sake brewer, it is a sharp and smart sake that washes down oily food with a crisp taste.
It was served at room temperature.
The appearance is clear and yellowish, with a light aroma of koji and alcohol, typical of sake.
In the mouth, it blends in like water without any attack, then acidity and volatility come in crisply, and it ends with a light koji sweetness and umami.
It is a sake that makes you want to drink it with a cup of sake.
It is also good as a food sake with rich and fatty dishes such as sweet-and-sour pork or stewed pork cubes, and I would like to try heating it up as it seems to warm up nicely.

This is Rokujuyosu by Imazato Shuzo, a sake brewery in Hasami-cho, Nagasaki Prefecture, famous for Hasami-ware.
It is 100% Yamadanishiki, and the rice polishing ratio is 50%, so it could be a daiginjo.
It has a clear appearance with a slight yellowish tinge and a pleasant ginjo aroma that is quite gorgeous.
The mouthfeel is light and juicy with a pleasant acidity, but it quickly fades away at the end.
It was my favorite type of sake, gorgeous and juicy but not cloying.
Kyushu is not only great for shochu, but also for sake! I found it to be a sake drinker's paradise!

Drinking comparison at Sumiyoshi Shuhan's Kaku-uchi (standing drink at a liquor store) at Hakata Station.
This is Tanaka Rokuugo Nama, a draft version of Shiraito Shuzo's Tanaka Rokuugo from Itoshima, Fukuoka.
It is said that Itoshima is a major producer of Yamada-Nishiki, and Tanaka Rokuugo was brewed using 100% Yamada-Nishiki, with the rice polished down to 65% by the brewer, Mr. Tanaka.
I was not able to spend much time with the brewery, so I will only give a brief personal impression.
The appearance is clear and the aroma is crisp.
On the palate, the sweetness and umami of the rice is softly felt, followed by a light acidity and the fresh alcohol taste of the unpasteurized sake.
Overall, the sake was gentle, crisp, and easy to drink, and I thought it was a sake that one would not get tired of drinking.
It is very enjoyable to enjoy local sake at a local sake brewery. Thank you very much.

The first toast of 2023.
I chose something light and crisp for the toast, Saku for 2022 and Toichi for this year.
Purchased at Sumiyoshi Shuhan in Fukuoka.
Slightly sour aroma.
Slight sourness and a chili aftertaste. Surprisingly, it was not as light as I expected.
There is no harshness of alcohol, and I can recommend this bottle to sake beginners.

I went to the "Hakata Tenjin Rakugo Festival" again this year.
On my way home, I bought this bottle.
It is just the right size as I cannot drink a lot.
It is delicious with a fruity, torori (sweet) aroma and sweetness. It is a wonderful sake that leaves a refreshing aftertaste and lingering flavor.
We paired it with fried sardines with tatsuta-age and miso soup with lots of vegetables.

Okawa, Fukuoka, Japan. The Wakanami brand is a team led by young people who are struggling to make the best of the Wakanami brand.
The blue label is junmai sake. It is made from local Fukuoka Prefecture Jukinmai. The aroma is mild and sweet, with a refreshing green apple aroma. The taste is supple and umami, and then fades away nicely with a light acidity. You can enjoy its full-bodied flavor and acidity when it is warmed up.
It's just like it should be!

In the check-in location, I include the store where I bought the sake. I bought this Azumatsuru at Sumiyoshi Shuppan in Hakata when I went on a business trip, but my current location is so far from Hakata that it does not appear on the list of possible locations.... Too bad.
I registered the location when I went on a business trip to Fukuoka again.
★★★★☆ Delicious. I want to drink again.
I am not sure if this is a melon or not, but I am not sure.

Polished rice 55%.
It is certainly thicker and mellower than the year-round product. At the first sip, there was a touch of sourness, but it disappeared at the second sip when the temperature rose. The aroma is also a little strong. However, it's not as strong as the previous one. I wonder what is the best snack for this.

55% Yamada Nishiki
Yellow in color? A slight aroma of rice.
It has a dry attack and a lingering sweetness from the rice. It has a great umami taste. There are times when the dryness lingers after drinking.
I think it would be even better with a snack😋.
