こるね＜Fruity, with a hint of bitterness and a beautiful sweetness.
The aroma is gently pear-sweet and fruity. Hmm? It is more subdued than the image of Hanayu. But that makes it seem a little more elegant.
The mouthfeel is like water, with a slight sweet and sour taste. From there, there is a beautiful sweetness and a hint of umami.
According to the master, this year they decided to make it a little drier. I see what he means. I feel that the flamboyance has calmed down a little. Though I say dry, it is only a little more so than last year, and I am talking about within the range of sweet sake.
The aroma is a little bit sweeter than last year's. It's good.
It is a fine fruity wine.
But to be honest, I was expecting something more floral from Hanayu. It is still delicious enough, though.
When the temperature rises to about cool (15°C), the sour-sweet fruity flavor comes out from the palate. Yes, I like it this way.
If I were to compare it to Ghibli, I would say it is like Baron from "Ears to the Past". It's fashionable, quirky, and cool.

こるね<Powerful, sweet and tasty Zdon Classic
The aroma is refreshing with a hint of sweet nut and mint alcohol. Oh? It looks classic and delicious.
When you put it in your mouth, you will feel a slight sweetness. The next moment, sweetness, alcohol, and umami are all there! Then, more umami! Following the previous "Karahashi", this one is also very powerful.
The aroma has a hint of alcohol and the freshness of young bamboo herbs. The aftertaste is delicious.
Yes, it is delicious.
When it reaches room temperature, the sweetness gently rises, and the sweet-alty flavor is bonkers. It is good at room temperature. It is also delicious when heated.
If I were to use a Ghibli analogy, it would be the TV announcer who appears for a bit at the climax of "The Witch's Delivery Service. To be honest, she plays a minor role. But since he does the voice for that tense scene, it is a very important role. His voice is young and fresh, yet firm.

こるね＜Fruity, sweet, zu-zu-zu-zu-zu-zu, Aldo Don
This "Karahashi" is a relatively new brand named after the brewer's family name, Karahashi. The sake is said to be made with the utmost attention to quality, including refrigerated storage at -5°C until just before shipment, just to put his own name on the front. This is something to look forward to. Let's drink it right away.
The aroma is a refreshing muscat with a pleasant alcohol taste.
On the palate, there is a tangy, slightly carbonated taste, followed by a melon fruity taste. The attack is not strong, but I have a feeling it will be thick. As I thought, as I expected, the sweetness came right away. Then, more sweetness and bitterness. Finally, the rich sweet alcohol. The alcohol content is 16 degrees, but it has the strength of 17-18 degrees. Yum!
If I were to use a Ghibli analogy, it would be the young Dora from "Laputa: Castle in the Sky. She is a very cute but powerful pirate girl.

こるね＜Sweet and bitter classic.
This time, this baby is a PB from Sake no Kawashima, a sake store in Sendai City, Miyagi Prefecture, and although it's a brand I don't know, I'm not familiar with regular Sawanoizumi either, so let's drink it without preconceived notions here.
The aroma is sweet and bitter with a burnt taste of rice.
From the moment you put it in your mouth, the sweet bitterness spreads. From there, it gets even sweeter. The sweetness is like marshmallow and the bitterness like roasted nuts is powerful. The acidity is slight, making it a robust classic type.
The entrée is a yukke (sweet shrimp). It is also full of flavor and goes well with the sweet and bitter sake.
The specs are as follows
Sake: Special Junmai Nakadori unfiltered unpasteurized sake
Rice: Kura-no-Hana
Rice polishing ratio: 55
Alcohol percentage: 16.5% ・・・ high
Sake meter: +1.5 ・・・ a little spicy
Acidity: 1.7 ・・・ high
Amino acidity: 1.1 ・・・ Low
This sake is like the "Red Pig" of Ghibli's "The Pirates of the Caribbean". It has a strong bitterness, yet it looks like it's having fun.
Satisfaction level：★★☆☆☆

こるね＜A beautifully clean, delicious acidity.
The aroma is of mild lactic acidity.
The mouthfeel is gently acidic and umami. The aroma is of mild lactic acidity, and the mouthfeel is slightly acid-amami.
At room temperature, the umami acidity and bitterness gradually become more pronounced. This is a deliciously sour hiyaoroshi to be served with a meal.
The entrée continues to be old pickled cucumbers. This goes well with cucumbers. The acidity is well offset by the sweetness.
If I were to compare him to Koichi from "Ponyo on the Cliff" in Ghibli, he would be the father of the main character, Sosuke. He is the father of the main character, Sosuke. He is a man of the sea, captain of a cargo ship. He is a refreshing old man, though I feel sorry to call him an old man because he is 30 years old.

Chuai中取り純米吟醸 無濾過生原酒純米吟醸原酒生酒中取り無濾過 
こるね＜The sweet and bitter taste opened up.
The aroma is faintly syrupy-sweet.
When you put it in your mouth, it tastes slightly sweet. But the moment it touches the air in the mouth, the sweet and bitter taste opens up in a flash. The aftertaste is also sweet and bitter, and the bitter-sweet-alternative aroma that passes through the nose is also pleasant!
Yummma!
This one is quite sweet and firm, even though it's just opened. I have a feeling that it will become even sweeter after a few days.
It tasted sweet and delicious even when it warmed up from the snow-cold temperature (5℃) to almost room temperature.
The specs are as follows
Sake: Junmai Ginjyo Unfiltered Nama-gunshu Nakadori
Rice: Miyamanishiki
Rice polishing ratio: 55
Alcohol percentage: 16% ・・・ high
Sake meter degree: +3 ・・・ Slightly spicy
Acidity: 1.4 ・・・ Normal
Amino acidity: 1.2 ・・・ Normal
If I were to use a Ghibli analogy, I would compare it to the main character, Shizuku, in "Ears to the Past". It has a creative bitterness, but it is love-sweet.
Satisfaction: ★★★★☆

こるね＜Sour and delicious, dry, a perfect food wine.
The first impression on the palate is a smooth, mild acidity. From there, the acidity and umami are in full swing. Then, the acidity and umami is further enhanced by the acidity and umami buzz. It is a dry sake with little sweetness. It is a sake to be served with a meal.
The entrée is old pickled cucumbers. The acidity of the rice bran works well and dissolves the acidity of the sake. It also brings out a hint of sweetness that should have been almost absent. This is a winning combination. To be honest, it's not my favorite type of food, but thanks to the atte, I was able to enjoy it.
If I were to use a Ghibli analogy, I would compare it to Hara Motoro from "Castle in the Sky. He is the engineer of the Tiger Moth, the "scarier than Mom when she gets angry" Jicchan. At first glance, he seems to be just a stubborn and strict old man, but there is more to him than that. In the last scene, when the kite with Pazoo and Sita on board reunites with Dora and her gang, everyone else is saying, "It's Sita! I like the way he shouts, "It's the boy! I like it.

こるね<Triple Acid Malic and Lactic Acid Citric Acid
The theme of this sake is, simply put, "Acid". It is a triple acid (acidity) made from malic acid from Association 77 yeast, lactic acid from Yamahai yeast, and citric acid from white malted rice. This is definitely the kind of sake that was decided on the spur of the moment while drunk.
The palate starts with the sour sweetness of sour apples, followed by the sugar content of apple nectar. The second half is nicely finished off by the acidity and bitterness of the lemon, leaving a clean aftertaste.
Oh, I don't feel malic acid from No. 77 yeast, citric acid from white malted rice, and lactic acid from Yamahai... that much, I guess. The acidity is so effective, it's vivid and ummah! But it has a lovely sweetness, so even I, who don't like acidity, enjoyed it.
If I were to compare it to Ghibli's "From Up On Poppy Hill," it would be Sora-chan. Anyway, she is cute. Even though her father is away, her mother is studying abroad, and her older sister is always scolding her, she is still fresh and cute.
Satisfaction: ★★★★

こるね＜Soft, fruity and astringent.
The aroma is fruity and alcoholic with melon and muscat. Oh, I like this!
The mouthfeel is softly sweet and acidic. From there, the sweet and sour flavor gradually builds up. Nice!
But at the end, the aftertaste is astringent and astringent, which makes the inside of the mouth tight.
No, it's too bad! I didn't like the astringent taste at the end.
Specs.
Sake: Junmai Ginjo
Rice: Yamadanishiki
Rice polishing ratio: 58
Alcohol content: 16% ・・・ high
Sake meter: -2 ・・・ Slightly sweet
The Kastrup from "The Wind Rises" in Ghibli. He is a mysterious German whom Jiro meets in Karuizawa. At first, he seems to be an elegant and jovial gentleman, but then he starts to say some rather harsh things.

こるね<Thick and thick yogurt
As you can see, this time it is not sake. It is a liqueur made from junmai sake brewed with Hidahomare sake rice and fresh yogurt from a farm in Hida. What kind of sake is this? This is something to look forward to.
It looks pure white. It is so thick that you can tell from the time it is being poured. It is quite dense and viscous.
The aroma is faintly yogurt. Well, it is natural, isn't it?
When you put it in your mouth, you get the sour taste of plain yogurt, pop, pop, pop. There is not much sweetness, just a yogurt feeling. But it tastes so good. This is good! It is perfect for dessert after a heavy meal.
The alcohol content is only 6 degrees, so you can drink as much as you want. Dangerous.
If I were to use a Ghibli analogy, I would compare it to Mei from "My Neighbor Totoro. Fresh, energetic, and thick every day, it doesn't have any adult alcohol taste at all.
Satisfaction: ★★★★

こるね＜A calm, gradual umami and a hint of sweetness from the acidity.
This is a limited edition sake from Aizu Shurakukan Watanabe Sota Shoten, a sake store in Aizuwakamatsu City.
The aroma is beautiful lactic acidity with a hint of sweetness and umami. It looks delicious.
On the palate, it has a clear, soft acidity and a mildly sweet flavor. The umami that gradually emerges in the latter half of the bottle is also good. The aftertaste disappears gently and cleanly.
The previous Hirotogawa Junmai Ginjo had a powerful flavor with a strong alcohol taste, but this one has a calm and gentle taste with gradual umami. It is delicious.
The entrée was pickled firefly squid. How could it not go well with this? When you drink sake after the firefly squid, the rich salty taste of firefly squid will make you feel even more relaxed. Ohhhh!
If I were to use a Ghibli analogy, I would say Fukuo-san from "The Witch's Delivery Service. He is the owner of the bakery and the husband of Ms. Osono. He is not flashy, but he does a good and steady job. He may look tough at first glance, but he's kind and cute, and he's also very mischievous in a low-key way when people aren't looking.

こるね＜Juicy, sour-sweet banana.
The aroma is slightly banana.
The mouthfeel is slightly tangy and slightly sour-sweet. The taste is a combination of the acidity and sweetness of bananas with a hint of greenness, and the slight deliciousness of rice. It is juicy but not too sweet.
Juicy but not too sweet, clean and beautiful, just right. The aftertaste is a lingering umami, which disappears in a flash.
The specs are as follows
Sake: Junmai Ginjo Genshu
Rice Source : Koji rice/Yamadanishiki, Kake rice/Gohyakumangoku
Rice Polishing Ratio: Koji rice 50%, Kake rice 58
Alcohol percentage: 15% ・・・ Normal
Sake meter rating: -7 ・・・ Sweet
It is best when it is cooled by snow (5℃).
If we compare it to Ghibli, it is Ursula from "The Witch's Delivery Service". She is a painter who lives in a cabin in the forest. She is fresh and paints very nice pictures. But she seems to be still in the process of trial and error. I like that she is not too sweet and has a refreshing personality.
Satisfaction: ★★★★

こるね＜A fresh, cute, honest girl.
This is the first type of Toyo Bijin I have ever seen. This is a joint project of four breweries, Toyo Bijin, Tosa Shiragiku, Garden Uguisu, and Mitsui no Kotobuki. The series' requirement is a low-alcohol, slightly effervescent sake with an alcohol content of 12-13%, where CO2 is, of course, carbon dioxide, the carbonic acid of slightly effervescent carbonation.
Incidentally, this is Toyo Bijin's only low-alcohol, low-foaming sake. How does it taste? I'll have some.
The aroma is mildly sweet and lactic acidic.
The mouthfeel is a fresh pichi shuwa amapon. It has a lovely sweetness and acidity. The last part has a slight umami flavor, but overall it is light and straightforward. The aroma is mainly sweet, with a hint of umami and bitterness. Delicious!
If we were to use a Ghibli analogy, it would be like Sita from "Castle in the Sky". She is fresh, cute and honest. Even pirates would clean up if Sita asked them to.

こるね＜Chocolate with a rich sweet taste.
This red sake is made by Zuitaka in Kumamoto City, Kumamoto Prefecture. It is made from rice, but strictly speaking, it is not sake, but "miscellaneous sake" under the Sake Tax Law.
What kind of sake is it? Let's drink it.
The color is a very dark, almost brownish red. What a color!
The aroma is strange too! Why do I feel so much sugar! You can tell it's insanely sweet just from the aroma.
When you put it in your mouth, from that moment on you get the biggest sweetness doo-doo-doo-doo!!!
Ahhhh... ！！！！！！
I think I have never had such a sweet liquid before. Isn't it sweeter than coffee liqueur Kahlua or chocolate liqueur Mozart?
It seems like it would be spicy indeed when it's this sweet, but strangely enough, it tastes so good. Awesome!
It is closer to chocolate than to sake.
It is outrageously sweet. Unma!
How do you compare it to Ghibli? I don't know what to think. This sake is like sweetness incarnate.
Satisfaction: ★★★★*

こるね<Core, soft, refreshing, clean acidity>.
The color is clear and transparent.
The aroma is very faint.
In the mouth, it has rounded acidity and soft sweetness. The acidity is even more pronounced, but it is gentle and clean, without any spikes. The hint of aroma in the nose is also very nice. It is low in alcohol, but has a solid core.
I'm basically not a fan of acidity-centered sakes, but this one is great!
I chose a crispy cheese cracker to go with the sake. The cheese is violently thick, and there is twice as much black pepper in it as you would expect. It brought out the sweetness of the sake, and boom! This combination was a jackpot.
The specs are
Sake made: Junmai Ginjyo Unfiltered Nama Sake
Rice polishing ratio: 60
Alcohol content: 14.5% ・・・ Low
Sake meter: +4.0 ・・・ Slightly spicy
Yeast: Association 14 & Association 6
The name of this sake is a Ghibli analogy: Hirota from "Omohide Poroporo". He is a boy in the 5th grade of elementary school who likes the clouds. He is a sportsman, fresh, and kind.

こるね＜Good nigori, sweet and sour, bitter and sweet.
The color is firm and light nigori.
The aroma is muscat-like fruity and lactic. The complexity of the fruity and nigori is a nice mixture. This is definitely my favorite type!
When you put it in your mouth, from the moment you taste it, it is sweet, sour, bitter, and sweet. From there, there is even more sweetness.
Plenty of sweetness and just the right amount of acidity. The nigori bitterness in the back is beautiful, complex, and pleasant. Wow!
It is a good nigori. I love it!
If I were to compare her to Yoshiko Matsuzaki from "From Up On Poppy Hill" in Ghibli, I would say she is the mother of the main character, Umi. She is the mother of the main character, Umi. She eloped, bereaved of her husband, left her children to study abroad, etc. She knows the sweet, bitter, and complicated tastes of life. She must have been very talented to study abroad as a single woman in that era. And above all, she is a very beautiful person. She is a beautiful woman with strength, cuteness, and sex appeal.

Kagura裏神蔵 七曜 純米大吟醸 無濾過生原酒純米大吟醸原酒生酒無濾過 
こるね＜Vibrant, sweet and sour! Aroma: Fluffy! > > >Sweet and sour!
The aroma is sweet and acidic.
Rich sweetness and a hint of acidity on the palate. The bright sweetness and acidity on the palate is a surprise! The aroma is full of flavor. Yum!
The syrupy sweetness is wonderful. The aftertaste is a sweet and sour whiff. But before you know it, it's all gone, nicely melted away.
At first, I thought it was a kanreki-style sweet alu. It's true that this cleanness is similar to that of the "Kairyu-kai". But it is much sweeter.
It was so delicious, so I would like to dig deeper into the other specs, Kamizo-san. I've seen it for sale somewhere, where was it?
By the way, this was the third day the bottle was opened, and they said it was quite dry on the first day. Seriously! It's pretty sweet and tasty today! Interesting!
If I were to use a Ghibli analogy, it would be Gigliola from "Red Pig". She is Fio's older sister, a very beautiful woman who seems to be very strong-willed. She is Fio's 5 years later.

こるね＜Slightly acidic and spicy with a hint of sweetness and umami.
The aroma is clean, sour and spicy.
On the palate, a slight sweet flavor spreads around the slightly refreshing sourness, and a beautiful hint of fragrance wafts over the palate. The aroma is just as beautifully acidic and spicy as the flavor. Yummah!
It is not my favorite direction, but I can honestly say it is a delicious sake.
To accompany the sake, I ordered grilled yagen cartilage. How could this not go well with the sake? It was a perfect marriage.
I can't think of anything in Ghibli, so I'm going to make up a character in my imagination.
This is a beautiful, clean-cut senpai in the section to which I was assigned as a new employee. She is demanding in her work, but she doesn't have a harsh personality, she is just excellent. Even when she gets drunk, she doesn't get wild at all and remains cool. But he is cute when his guard is a little low and his local Nagano dialect comes out.

こるね＜A pleasant sweet, sour, and bitter origami.
Kawabu Brewery in Mie Prefecture. This sake is the second in the KAWABU series, which was added this year. It is a summer orikarami.
What kind of sake is it? I am looking forward to it.
Let's taste it.
The color is a beautiful orikara.
The aroma is a refreshing lactic acidity.
The mouthfeel starts with a pleasant sweet, sour, and bitter taste, followed by a sweet and sour taste, then a sweet and sour taste, then a delicious bitter taste. The bitter aftertaste, which lingers on the tongue for a long time, is somehow very lovely. Yummmmmm~!
The goodness of the ogara-mi is effective, isn't it? It is my favorite flavor. It's delicious!
However, as the temperature rises, the bitterness becomes more noticeable, so I prefer it at around 5 degrees Celsius.
If I were to use a Ghibli analogy, it would be the scenery of Ibarade in "Ears to the Sea". It is a fantastic world in the story of Shizuku. It is a world that is very beautiful but clearly different from reality. It is a mysterious color that is cool and refreshing, yet somehow warm.
Satisfaction: ★★★★☆

こるね＜Local sake, slowly but surely good.
It has a lovely appearance of being a local ordinary sake. Naturally, it is alsobeige. I like this kind of sake that seems to be loved by the locals.
Let's drink it.
There is not much aroma.
The mouthfeel is softly sweet and sour. From there, the alcohol gradually becomes bitter and fluffy. Yes, it's a very ordinary sake, and it's delicious.
It has an alcoholic taste, but it is not unpleasant, so you can continue drinking it indefinitely.
Even when the temperature rises to room temperature, the taste does not change. I would rather drink it at room temperature. I'm sure it would also be delicious heated.
If I were to use a Ghibli analogy, it would be Hokuto-san from "From Up On Poppy Hill". She is a female doctor staying at Poppy Hill House, and is the one who is given a farewell party on the way to the house. To be honest, she doesn't do anything remarkable. I like her in that ordinary way. But she is actually a very talented woman. By the way, Ms. Hokuto is a woman in the movie, but in the original manga, she is a handsome college student and was Umi's admirer.
