Opening the first and last Junmai Daiginjo of 2022 from Amami, which I got into last year.
A bottle brewed slowly at low temperature with 40% Yamadanishiki
The aroma started with a light, fruity apple-like aroma, which quickly spread to the palate with the sweetness of tropical fruits, followed by a sharp acidity and a bitter aftertaste!
It is a little expensive, but if you can enjoy this delicious wine little by little, it is totally worth it!
Rice polishing ratio: 40
Alcohol content: 15%.

When cold, it blends in easily, as is typical of Tenshiyaki.
When warmed to lukewarm, it becomes slightly alcoholic and loses its Tenshizumi character.
It is best served cold. It has a cunningness that can be said of Tenshusei in general, and it is a sake that seems to fit in well with the body.
It is the opposite of the popular sweet, spicy, and acidic sake.
Oral rehydration solution slightly spicy A

I ventured to open the one I had left behind so that my new job would work out.
The nose is very fruity and muscat-like.
When I poured it into the glass after uncorking it, there was a slight bubbling.
The taste is sweet and a little gassy with a very gorgeous aroma.

Gorgeous sweetness 🌸.
Firm flavor with a moderate aroma.
Satisfaction with just one cup☺️.
I enjoyed this one slowly over the next few days, as many of the drinks I had before and after were so light that I would open them all that day 😊.

For the 20th bottle of Nigori Sake Relay, we opened a bottle of Senkou Organic Naturals 2022ZERO: nigori.
The rice is polished to 90%, and the cloudy white ori, which contains rice grains beyond the ori collected at the bottom of the bottle, is more reminiscent of dobroku than nigori sake.
As is customary with nigorizake, when you drink it from the top clearing, you get a sweet aroma with a hint of lactic acidity, and when you take a sip, you get a refreshing grapefruit citrus acidity with a light piquancy, followed by a sharp finish.
The taste changes when you mix in the rice oli...
The sourness of the rice is accompanied by the rich flavor of the rice, which spreads out and leaves a sticky texture on the tongue, just like dobrok. It was a bottle where you could really enjoy the taste of the rice!
Alcohol content: 13 degrees (unpasteurized)
Rice polishing ratio: 90% (Domaine Sakura, organically grown Kame no o)

Kumakichi-san, I drank this the other day, it had more ori than I expected, and in the end, only the ori turned into sake, and it turned into doburoku sake, last year it was a little thinner than that, I vaguely remember 😅 20 bottles great❗️

Mr. Harry Sakeboy
It was more doburoku than nigori sake!
I didn't drink it last year and don't know, but it was a very drinkable bottle. I love nigori sake and dobu, so I drink too much...
Japanese>English
ハリー
Kumakichi, the owner of the liquor store said that nigori is filtered through a coarse mesh, doburoku is scooped up with a zabun. I thought, this must be doburoku 😅.

Harry Sakeboy, the top clear was indeed clear, but the oli that collected there still had the shape of rice.....................this could be good!

I couldn't buy Momoten at the Hasegawa Sake Shop in Tokyo Station's Gransta, so I had to endure it at the corner store.
This year's 17th bottle of nigori had a good balance of sweet, umami, and sourness that made it easy to drink.

Open a bottle of Raku Sakai Mirai, which has been in stock for about six months.
The first day I opened the bottle, I thought, "What? It didn't have a very impressive taste, so I put it in the cellar after one glass...
When I opened the bottle three days later, I could finally taste the flavor I liked.
It may have been that I chilled it too much at one degree, or that I let it sit too long, or that I was tired on the first day.
On the third day, I got to enjoy the goodness that is the Collage O' Sake Future!
It was a well-balanced bottle, with a clean, green apple-like aroma and sweetness on the upside, and a full flavor that cut through nicely!
The first day I had a whole bottle, but three days later I drank it so fast that it was empty... The better the sake, the faster it runs out... I vowed to buy a whole bottle next time...
Rice polishing ratio: 50% (100% Sakemira from Yamagata Prefecture)

I bought a Riedel Junmai glass, and I was looking for a sake that would go well with it in my stock.
I found a bottle of Senkou's Hatsu-Tank Nakadori that had been sleeping in the back!
I wanted to try it without thinking about whether it would go well with the sake or not, so I opened the bottle (lol).
Before opening the bottle, I took a closer look at the bottle and found that there was a lot of ori, so I gulped down the supernatant without mixing the ori...
Hmm, a light grapefruit aroma? It has a pleasant citrus aroma and a juicy sweet and sour taste.
When I mixed the ori in the second cup, it turned into a cup with a delicious rice flavor and a moist aftertaste at the end.
I've already had 12 bottles of nigori and origarami since the beginning of this year, and this was one of my favorite new sakes.
Rice polishing ratio: Koji rice 50%, Kake rice 60% (100% Domaine Sakura Yamadanishiki)

My favorite spring sake from my favorite company, Kankiku.
The aroma is very gorgeous and sweet, with a freshness like a melon and a rich fruity taste like a pear.
The taste is sweet and savory with a touch of gas.
At the same time, it is not too heavy, and has a refreshing aftertaste with a slight bitterness that disappears at the end.

We opened a bottle of SIRIUS from Abe Shuzo for aperitif.
It's a sparkling wine that is only made with carbon dioxide gas from natural fermentation, but the strong acidity caused it to explode right after opening the bottle...
I immediately poured it into a wine glass, and to my delight, it turned out to be my tenth bottle of nigori-shu this year.
The aroma was a sweet lactic acid sweet like Calpis.
When I sipped it, I didn't feel the sweetness so much as the intense carbonation and acidity, and the mellow flavor of the rice.
It was 500ml in volume, so I drank it lightly as a toast or a second glass.
Alcohol content: 14 degrees
Rice polishing ratio: Unknown (Niigata rice is used)

The aroma is not fruity pineapple-like, but more acidic.
The taste is gassy and sour, with a mild sweetness and astringency after the sourness.
Can't wait to see how it changes over time!
