We will have freshly squeezed spring sake from Mr. Naohiko Noguchi, who is 89 years old this year and is called the god of active sake brewing!
The price range of the sake sold is two to three times the price of a typical four-pack, so it takes courage to buy it, but you can learn a lot about the sake that God makes...
This time, "Spring Shiboritate" is a rare ogara-mi (raw) sake from Noriguchi.
The aroma at the beginning of the drink is very gorgeous and sweet with a hint of spring!
The first sip has a refreshing sweet and tasty taste like white peaches.
If you are not told, it is hard to believe that the alcohol content is 19%, but the sweet, delicious, acidic, and bitter taste is a quintessential Nozomi...
I would like to take the time over the next few days to enjoy this spring's freshly squeezed sake from the maker who created Yamahai!
Rice polishing ratio: undisclosed (100% Gohyakumangoku rice used)
Alcohol content: 19%.

A little while ago, but it was full, my wife's third Valentine's Day bottle! God's liquor! First time at Naohiko Noguchi Institute ministry.
The first sip had a strong classic feel, perhaps due to too high expectations, and almost revived my dislike of sake.
However, I took my time to taste it to further explore the depth of sake. The ministry is delicious!
I can't explain in detail, but it's delicious.
I was reminded of the depth of sake.

I've recently discovered the appeal of dry sake, so this was my wife's second Valentine's Day bottle. It has a high sake content of +20, and it's full of flavor, but it has a delicious rice flavor and a crisp finish. It was delicious.

I went to GINN in Ginza, aiming for the Shinshu Kameari. Unfortunately, they were sold out the other day. The owner told me a lot about it, and I got a bottle of the local sake of snowboarder Hirano. My wife bought me two other bottles as a valentine ^_^.
The taste was light, crisp, and well balanced. It's delicious and goes well with any meal.

We received a special edition of Miyamanishiki and Yamadanishiki from Mr. Naohiko Noriguchi, a master brewer known as the "God of Sake Making".
If it were me, I'd be hesitant to buy it at 7,700 yen, but it's a sake that can only be drunk now, so I'll take it with all my heart...
This is my second bottle since I became a fan of the last Yamahai Aizan, so I'm very excited.
The aroma was a clear alcoholic sensation going through the nose, but when you put it in your mouth, the world of Nouguchi spreads out.
It's hard to find a sake that has the same lingering taste as Opus One when I was into red wine...
That's what "Kami no Shizuku" is all about!
I'm wondering if I should buy Vol. 3, which will be released next...
Alcohol content: 19%, Polishing ratio: 55% (74% Miyamanishiki from Nagano Prefecture, 26% Yamada Nishiki from Hyogo Prefecture)

We had an original Daiginjo "GINN" from sake boutique GINN in Ginza, Tokyo.
I thought it was 3,800 yen and a little expensive, but there is no one who doesn't know if it is a watch lover. The bottle that Mr. Franck Muller praises and loves drinking, ...
In fact, I was finally able to buy it by the third honestly because it was always sold out though I was told when I happened to visit the shop.
The bottle design was also designed by designer Riko Takahashi...
I finally opened a bottle of this particular one!
As soon as you open the bottle, you can smell the sweet, fresh, fruity aroma of this particular sake. It's not often that you see such an intense aroma.
When you take a sip, it's a very beautiful sake! The sweetness, the sharpness from the acidity, it's so elegant! Not a kudzu melon!
It was a pretty clean tasting sake that was cut down quite a bit.
Rice polishing ratio: 40%, alcohol content: 17 degrees

Hello, Mr. Kumakichi 0426! I didn't know there was a sake boutique in Ginza! It looks interesting, so I'm going to take a peek while I'm in the neighborhood! Franck Muller is eccentric recently. And it becomes expensive from the beginning, and I cannot get it!

Dear A205X253
Good evening! Gin in Ginza is different from a normal liquor store in that the clerk will talk enthusiastically about the recommended sake... You may have your own taste, but if you like talking with liquor stores, I recommend it!

The first time I went to a liquor store in Ginza, I heard the manager's enthusiastic speech and bought a bottle as a test, which turned out to be a big hit.
Mr. Naohiko Nouguchi, the best brewer in Japan, who is also known as "the god of sake brewing", finished this bottle on the occasion of his 88th birthday. 5,500 yen for a CLASSIC EDITION bottle was a price range that I would have been brave enough to buy on my own. But I bought it on impulse because the manager told me that it would change my view of sake.
I was a meek person who only looked for popular sake to drink, but this one gave me a complex change in taste that I had never experienced before.
If I were to use an analogy, I would say that it tastes like a perfect score on the radar chart that expresses the taste of sake. (Sorry for my lack of vocabulary)
Immediately after enjoying the rich sweetness and umami from the tip of the tongue from the first sip, the pleasant acidity spreading to the left and right sides of the tongue, and finally the deep bitterness spreading to the back of the tongue and the pleasant alcohol feeling remaining in the throat were an irresistible taste.
According to the manager, he is a "living national treasure of the sake association" who spread Yamahai and Ginjo-shu to the world, so we could enjoy the taste of sake that has been carefully selected.
It is expensive to drink every day, but it is one that I would like to revisit from time to time.

Your comment makes this one I'd love to buy and taste!
I had heard about Noriguchi-san from a friend of mine, a perverted sake lover, and the comments here are fantastic!

Thank you for your comment.
I'm still an amateur sake drinker, but this one has been a very thought provoking bottle. We hope that your first sake will be a memorable one for you too, Tasake.
