こるね＜Umami Bong! High-alcoholic funky, bitter and bitter
A very rare and limited product to commemorate the opening of the brewery.
The aroma is of muscat alcohol. The slight tingle of stimulation tickles the nose.
The mouthfeel is smooth with a hint of sweetness and acidity. Oh, it's beautiful.
The moment the sake comes into contact with the air in the mouth, the umami flavor is released! The bitterness is also present! The aftertaste is also umami and bitter. Then, the high alcohol content of 18 degrees Celsius funkily hits you.
It was a unique sake, neither modern nor classic. It's not my favorite direction. But it is delicious.
If I were to use a Ghibli analogy, it would be Inugami-Gyobu from "Heisei-Tanuki Gassen Ponpoko". He is an elder raccoon called from Matsuyama, Ehime Prefecture. He has lived in Matsuyama since the reign of Emperor Tenchi (668-672), and is an incarnation of a raccoon with 808 household members. In the scene where he first appeared, he was dressed in his funkiest outfit, with triangular hair & triangular sunglasses. But when he is in his normal form, he is the most dashing of all.

こるね＜It's sweet and tasty, and has a nice, sharp edge to it.
I don't feel much aroma.
When you put it in your mouth, it is sweet and full of flavor. In the second half, the umami flavor gradually builds up, but the overall taste is clean. There is almost no acidity and a little bitterness at the end. The aftertaste is clean, as is typical for an aruzome sake. This is a good sake.
As the temperature rises, the sweetness comes out more, which is also good. This type of classic sake also goes well at room temperature. I would like to try heating it up. I would like to enjoy this sake slowly and carefully at home.
If I were to use a Ghibli analogy, I would compare it to Okinu-san in "The Wind Rises. She is the maid who is beaten by Jiro in the Great Kanto Earthquake scene in the beginning of the movie. She is a beautiful but unobtrusive woman. She met Jiro only once in the end, but somehow I think she is spending a happy married life in her hometown. Or rather, I hope so. Times are tough.

こるね<Sour, sweet, tasty, soft and easy to handle >.
Aizu Shurakukan Watanabe Sota Shoten, a sake store in Aizuwakamatsu City, offers a limited edition sake for the hanpukai.
The aroma is softly lactic banana and slightly bitter leesiness.
On the palate, the soft acidity is mild. In the mouth, there is a soft acidity with a hint of sweetness and umami. It has a gentle origami flavor. It tastes good in a gentle way.
After that, the sweet and umami taste comes out again, and the bitterness of the lees is gradually released.
It is a gentle child after all. However, it is not thin, but has a solid core. This is my favorite type. It soothes me.
If I were to use a Ghibli analogy, she would be like Sita from "Castle in the Sky. She is kind, positive, and good. Not only is she kind, but she has a solid core that won't be drawn to armies or pirates.

こるね<Sour and bitter, thick and bitter, with a hint of sweetness and a touch of spiciness.
The color is dark white.
The aroma is only slightly bitter. It does not seem to be sweet.
The mouthfeel is a mildly acidic, shuwa shuwa shuwa. Then, the bitter flavor starts to appear.
Oh, it is not sweet at all. It is a dry nigori. The acidity is yogurt-like lactic acid, and there is a strong bitter taste. The aftertaste is also bitter.
To be honest, I am not so good at non-sweet sake. But this one was not sweet at all, yet I could honestly say it was delicious. I'm glad I was able to drink it!
If I were to use a Ghibli analogy, it would be the Haku dragon from "Spirited Away. It is Haku in the form of a white dragon. It is not the gentle Haku that I compared to Kuroten-san of Amami just the other day, but anyway, it is crisp and cool.

こるね＜High-density Sashinari Juicy Sweet Pon
This time it was recommended to me at my usual restaurant. That's for sure.
The aroma is muscat sweet al. Slightly minty and cemedine. Sometimes I don't like the cemedine feeling, but this is a good cemetery feeling that gives a refreshing taste.
When you put it in your mouth, you are suddenly hit with a juicy sweetness! It is the sweetness of the syrup, the three warm sugars, and the apples. It lasts until the end. Plenty of sweet presence. It's not big, but it's a sweet al with density.
Yum!
This time I drank it all up without any accompaniment, but I would like to pair it with some rich cheese.
If I were to use a Ghibli analogy, I would compare it to Yoshiko Matsuzaki in "From Up On Poppy Hill. She is the mother of the main character, Umi. However, she is not the mother who came back from studying abroad, but rather the younger Yoshiko who appears in a scene in the movie. In fact, Yoshiko and her father Yuichiro were eloping at the time. It is such a prepared and intense sweetness.

こるね＜"Ecstasy, sweet al, gentle, elegant.
The aroma is alu-ho sweet and sour fruity. Beautifully ecstatic alcohol and elegant muscat.
When you put it in your mouth, you can feel the rich sweetness. It is very elegant. After that, the sweet, sour, and slightly bitter taste spreads. The way it disappears slowly, leaving a beautiful aftertaste, is also elegant. The lingering aroma is a pleasantly sweet and bitter aroma.
Wow, it's so delicious.
The sweetness is much bigger than expected. However, it is not so strong, but rather has a big presence. It is not a sticky sweetness, but has a firm core, while at the same time, it seems to show a gentle smile full of love.
If I were to compare him to Yuichiro Sawamura from "From Up On Poppy Hill," a Ghibli movie, I would say that he is the father of Umi, the main character. He is the favorite father of the main character, Umi. He is a hard-core handsome man with a strong core. But he is also very sexy and passionate to the point of eloping with the woman he has fallen in love with. This time, Mr. Tatenokawa is the gentle-looking Yuichiro who embraces Umi in her dream.

HanaabiTHE PREMIUM 八反錦 磨き四割 無濾過生純米大吟醸生酒無濾過 
こるね＜Sweet and sour pon ♪ Brilliant, juicy, sizzling
The aroma is a splash of juicy melon, green apple, and a hint of pineapple.
This is gorgeous! As expected of Mr. Kahayo!
The palate is slightly tangy, juicy, sweet and sour.
The sweetness spreads and finishes with an even sweeter sweetness.
Amaaaaaayyyy!
It is very sweet and erotic, but a nice bitterness tightens it up, making it strong and elegant!
It is strong and elegant! Gorgeous beauty!
It was so delicious!!!!
I know it's not Ghibli, but an analogy would be Alexandra from "Silver Spoon".
She is the wife of the main character's brother and she is Russian. She is very beautiful. She is very beautiful, but her husband's unstable income is "nothing compared to the collapse of the Soviet Union," and she says the meaning of the silver spoon is "to prevent assassination.

こるね＜Muscat, crisp, clean and fragrant.
The aroma is softly fruity with a hint of muscat. It has acidity, and the sweetness does not seem to be so much.
The mouthfeel is smooth, with a hint of sweetness and acidity. The mouthfeel is smooth, with a hint of sweetness and acidity, followed by a hint of acidity and then a hint of umami. It is a beautiful sake after all. The sweetness is only a little. This gives it a dignified atmosphere.
The taste is gentle, but the hint of aroma that spreads from the taste is a little bit sweet. Muscat aroma is richly fragrant with a mysterious flavor at the center.
It was delicious!
If I were to compare it to Ghibli, it would be Laura from "Red Pig". She is one of Fio's four cousins, and the second one to walk up to him. She is cute even now, but I think she will become very beautiful when she grows up.

こるね＜Refreshing, gentle, refreshing acidity of citrus fruits
The aroma is refreshing with a hint of citrus acidity.
The mouthfeel is slightly tangy and acidic. Grapefruit-like acidity and moderate sweetness. The acidity is clear, but it is gentle and refreshing without being piercing. After that, the sweetness spreads softly, but the umami hardly comes out. The bitterness of the grapefruit is slightly present in the back of the bottle.
It is an acid-specific type of wine. However, the acidity is refreshing, like gentle spring sunlight. Could it be white malted rice?
If you compare it to Ghibli, it is like Hal, the main character of "The Cat Returns". A laid-back & refreshing girl.

こるね＜Sweet and tasty, even more so, thicker.
The aroma is richly rice sweet and umami-bowan, and the alcohol taste is so clear that it is hard to believe that it is 15%.
When you put it in your mouth, it is a clear sweet-alcoholic flavor. From there, the sweet-alcoholic flavor comes through strongly. The amino acid content seems to be high, and the taste is very robust. The lingering sweet/alcoholic taste lingers on the palate, but it is not unpleasant.
It is very strong. It is hard to say that it is suitable for beginners because of its strong alcohol content, but I like its rich sweetness and umami.
It was delicious.
If I were to compare it to a Ghibli movie, I would say it is like Grandma Oroku from "Heisei Raccoon War Ponpoko". I wouldn't say she is beautiful, but she has a big kindness and strength that makes her a very attractive and strong woman. Her real name is Oroku, which means "fireball" in Japanese, so she looks scary when she is angry, but she is kind to her friends.

こるね＜Rich in flavor, yet juicy, bitter and fluffy.
The color is clear.
The aroma is lactic acid, rice flavor, and classic.
When you put it in your mouth, it is mildly acidic, umami, and slightly sweet. The first taste is a sweet, mildly acidic, umami, and then a bitter taste. The bitterness is also fluffy.
The umami is strong! And yet somehow it is juicy.
The entrée is dashimakazushi. This is a standard menu item at this restaurant, where the dashimakazu is served in a skillet without being rolled. When combined with an egg, the flavor of the sake becomes gentle, but deepens and becomes warm and fluffy. It's very good. It is also good with thicker simmered dishes. It is also good with a thick nabe like Ishikari nabe.
It can be compared to the men at the ironworks in "Princess Mononoke" in Ghibli. It is like the scene where they are drinking with Ashitaka. They seem to be living well in a harsh world. They seem to be having fun.

Sugataみんなの姿 おりがらみ純米吟醸原酒生酒無濾過おりがらみ こるね＜Strong, firmly sweet, with a hint of bitterness.
It's a fancy figure, isn't it? Everyone's appearance, or minsu for short.
It is a PB of some liquor store.
Although it says "orikarami" on the bottle, the color is almost transparent. There is a slight whitish tinge to it, but it is not really noticeable in a tin glass.
The aroma is faintly sugary. It is not very strong.
But when you put it in your mouth, you are suddenly hit with sweetness! Followed by bitterness!
It's so strong! Sweet! It's delicious!
It is rich and powerful, with a strong sweet and bitter taste.
If I were to compare it to Ghibli, I would say it is like the lady in "Laputa: Castle in the Sky".

こるね＜A fusion of Yamahai and modern styles.
The aroma is soft lactic acidity, with a hint of rice flavor. Oh! This is good!
The mouthfeel is slightly tangy, with lactic acidity, rice flavor, sweetness, and a hint of bitterness. It is gentle but firm and well balanced. It has beauty, prettiness, and depth all in one. From there, sweetness to sweetness and then to sweetness and then to sweetness.
Yum!
It has a low alcohol content of 13 degrees, but the flavor is so satisfying that you don't notice it at all.
The aftertaste is a bit sweet with a hint of the delicious flavor that is typical of Yamahai.
It is a modern Yamahai. It has a deep Yamahai-like umami flavor, but it is well balanced in the modern freshness.
If I were to use a Ghibli analogy, it would be the girl with wings in "On Your Mark". This piece is a short film of less than 7 minutes made as a music video for Chage & Aska. With Chageas' song in the background, it tells the story of two people helping a girl who has grown wings. This girl has all the beauty of an angel, the cuteness of innocence, and the depth of mystery.

こるね＜Sweet and delicious, with plenty of rice flavor.
The color is a solid white nigori sake.
The aroma is lactic acid, rice sweetness, refreshing alcohol, and a hint of banana.
In the mouth, it is an umami sweet nigori sake with a lot of rice flavor. The umami flavor comes first, followed a moment later by a slight carbonation. Then, there is a hint of rice sweetness. From there, a rich bitterness comes through. The pleasant alcohol is wafted in.
It tastes great. However, the sweetness is less than last year and the bitterness is stronger. Somehow, I have a feeling that it will get sweeter if it is left to stand.
I asked the master about it and he said it was drier on the first day the bottle was opened. This was the sixth day, and the flavor had finally opened up.
If I were to use a Ghibli analogy, it would be Nausicaä from "Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind". It is the same as last year. But it's a bit bitter and hard-edged, so it's the original Nausicaa.

こるね＜A hint of oak, bitter-sweet aluminium, pleasantly sweet.
This time, Imi-san is "BARREL". As the name suggests, it is a sake aged in oak barrels. The unfiltered raw sake is aged in wine barrels that have been shaved and re-burned on the inside. How does it look like? Let's drink it.
The aroma is sugary sweetness and a hint of oak.
In the mouth, there is a gentle and well-balanced sweet, bitter, umami, and al-acid. From there, only the sweet, bitter, umami flavor gradually builds up. The bitter-sweet-alternative gradually increases. The gradual swelling is very pleasant.
The sweetness, bitterness, and alcohol are all present, but they are not sticky sweetness or unpleasant bitterness, but rather a slightly bitter adult flavor.
This bitterness is something I would prefer to pair with a meal rather than drink by itself.
It was better to warm it up a little by hand to open up the flavor and aroma.
If I were to compare it to Ghibli, it would be Hokuto-san from "From Up on Poppy Hill. He is so talented that he can pass it on to his juniors. He seems to know the sweetness and bitterness of adults.

こるね＜Classic - deliciously bitter, a perfect food wine.
This is a new sake from Senjo, a sake brewery in Ina City, Nagano Prefecture. This sake is a limited edition sake for the Shinshu Jizake Hanpukai, which is organized by Jizakeya Miyajima, a hard-core sake shop that only sells local sake from Nagano Prefecture in Shinshu.
The aroma is a hint of lactic acidity.
The mouthfeel starts with a hint of lactic acidity, and after the entire bottle is softened, it is gradually followed by a deliciously bitter taste.
It is a classic dry sake. The sweetness is only momentary. Because of the bitterness, it is better to drink it with a side dish rather than on its own.
As it warms up, the bitterness and acidity come to the center and stand out. I liked it better served cold.
If I were to use a Ghibli analogy, I would compare it to Akio Kazama in "From Up On Poppy Hill. He is Shun Kazama's "father. He is blunt and classic Showa-era father, but he also has a mischievous wit as he winks at his son who has brought his girlfriend.

まっつGood evening, Korune! Nice to meet you😄
I just received a bottle of this brand's unfiltered draft the other day. I haven't had it yet, but I'm looking forward to having it sleeping in my fridge 💤I'm sorry for following you so selfishly😅. こるねThank you for your comment & follow, Mattu-san. I'm so glad 😆.
I'm looking forward to the unfiltered raw 🤤. こるね<Lots of bitter and sweet Alcohol
Nice to meet you, Sei嘹san. This is a local brand of Machida Shuzo, which brews "Machida Shuzo".
The color is light cloudy.
The aroma is nigori bitter, lactic acid and sweet altsun.
The mouthfeel is a tangy, bitter acidity. After swallowing, the bitter-sweet aroma is followed by a hint of bitter-sweetness. The aftertaste is also bitter-sweet.
There is sweetness, but above all, the bitterness is quite characteristic. And the alky bitter taste is also quite strong!
If I were to use a Ghibli analogy, it would be Asbel from "Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind". After meeting Nausicaa, he is portrayed as a good guy, but he is also quite belligerent, even dropping Tolmekia's ships with his gunship.

こるね<Fruity, full of sweetness and bitterness, alcohol>.
Nice to meet you, this is "Kanto-no-Hana" from Seishuzo, Gunma Prefecture.
The brand name "Kanto-no-Hana" is based on the anecdote that Tokugawa Ieyasu said "I will make you the flower of Kanto" when he gave the castle of Umabashi in Ueno Province, which is now Gunma Prefecture, to Sakai Shigetada. According to the official website, this sake is "a sake for the middle of the meal, with a pleasant umami taste and a refreshing acidity. Sounds good.
Let's drink it.
The aroma is clean and sweet. It has a clear aloso taste.
When you put it in your mouth, you will instantly feel a slight piquancy, sweetness and acidity. It has the sweetness of syrup and the fruity sourness of muscat. The sweetness swells even more, and the alcohol feeling goes ga-ga!
It is hard to believe that it is 15% alcohol, but it has a strong presence. The aroma is surprisingly mildly sweet and bitter. The aftertaste is a bitter one.
It is fresh, sweet, and delicious, but the alcohol is a little too clear.
It's not Ghibli, but I can compare it to Conan, the main character in "Conan: The Future Boy. It is fresh, but it has a stubborn vitality and a mysterious strength.
こるね＜The sweet and sour taste is mellow and rich.
This sake has 80% koji ratio, which is four times the normal ratio. It is over a certain Major, which is the same red but three times the normal ratio.
You can already tell from the aroma. The sweet and delicious taste of maturity. This looks delicious!
From the moment you put it in your mouth, the rich sweetness and acidity go boom, boom, boom! From there, the sweetness spreads further and then zuzu zuzu! It's thick!
The aroma is also richly sweet and matured. The aftertaste is also very rich. And yet, somehow there is no unpleasantness at all. It is a little sticky, but refreshing. I wouldn't go so far as to say it was refreshing, but it was all there.
What the heck, it's so good!
It gave me a dense feeling of satisfaction, like after reading a novel with a good after-feel.
It's not Ghibli, but an analogy would be Hiro Arikawa's novel "Kiken. To use an even more obscure analogy, it is like the Kouga club of "Jutta Choujin Aaru" became realistic and even more eccentric when they became university students. It is a dense adolescent ensemble drama of male science students.

こるね＜For mushrooms? Refreshing, gentle, fruity >.
This sake was made to go with mushrooms because Shinshu Nakano, where the brewery is located, is famous for mushrooms.
The aroma is faintly apple.
In the mouth, it is mildly fruity and gentle. It has a refreshing apple-like flavor. Sour but gentle. The aftertaste is slightly refreshing.
I thought maybe if I raised the temperature, so I wrapped it in my hand. When it was cooled down to about 15℃, the beautiful impression remained, but the taste became fuller and fuller. It's good with apple fruity and slightly rice-yummy. Both were delicious.
I imagined a sake with more umami since it was to be paired with mushrooms. I was surprised to see a mildly fruity sake.
If I were to compare it to Ghibli, it would be Laura from "Red Pig. She is one of Fio's four cousins and the second one to walk in. She doesn't play a prominent role, but she is very cute and a little bit cool.
Satisfaction: ★★★★
