This is a test brew, limited to the Hump Party, from Aizu Shurakukan Watanabe Sota Shoten, a sake store in Aizuwakamatsu City.
The color is light nigori.
The aroma is nigori-like sweet, bitter, acidic, and delicious. It has the sweetness of banana, the bitterness of lees, lactic acidity, and the deliciousness of rice. It is very good.
In the mouth, the complex sweet, sour, and bitter taste of nigori is felt. From there, the flavor slowly opens up. It has lactic acidity, lychee acidity, and the soft sweetness of white beans. The umami bitterness is also gradually released. In the latter half, the acidity gets more and more pronounced, but it's not bad at all. It was delicious!
The specs are as follows
Sake: Special Junmai Yamahai Orikagarami Nama
Rice polishing ratio: 55
Alcohol percentage: 15% ・・・ Normal
This sake is like Yuko from "Ears to the Sky" in Ghibli. She is a friend of the main character, Shizuku, who likes Sugimura, a member of the baseball team, but loses her heart in the process. She has a sweet and sour adolescence with a hint of bitterness from a broken heart. But the ending has a good aftertaste because she seems to be meeting up with Sugimura.
Satisfaction: ★★★★

The aroma is moderately sweet and bitter. Non-fruity aroma. It seems to be a classic type.
The mouthfeel is sweet and lactic acid. Then, it has a bitter taste. It is a classic type after all. The core is thick and strong, yet gentle. And in the latter half, it cuts off cleanly and smoothly.
It has bitterness, but it is not unpleasant because it is gentle. As a food wine, it is easy to match with a variety of dishes.

Gol from "Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind" in Ghibli. He is one of the Jououji, the one who says "Our Princess says she loves this hand. He is a person who lives strongly in a harsh environment. He seems to be excellent in the role of Kazami. And his smile is soft and gentle.

The KEG DRAFT SAKE series is a sake server with a 10L tank that maintains the flavor and freshness of freshly squeezed sake for a long period of time.
The aroma is fruity and sweet-alcoholic. It has a soft apple flavor.
When you put it in your mouth, it is suddenly sweet and juicy. Then, a firm sourness and bitterness follow. Uma!
It certainly feels fresh. It is sweet and juicy, with a nice return aroma.
As the temperature rises, the acidity stands out a bit. I like this one snow cold (5°C).
If I were to use a Ghibli analogy, it would be Letty from "Howl's Moving Castle". She is the younger sister of the main character Sophie. She is a gorgeous beauty, totally different type from Sophie, and is the signboard girl of a cafe.

<Mellow banana and lactic acidity.
The aroma is of bananas and a hint of apple and a little bit of alcohol.
In the mouth, there is a rich sweetness of ripe banana and a slight acidity of lactic acid. The bitterness with a graininess and nuttiness that spreads slowly and gradually is also wonderful. Yummma!
Grain and nuttiness is something I sometimes get with classic sakes. But it is strange to feel it in such a modern sake. And this is so delicious.
The entrée here continues to be grilled Japanese pork loin marinated in miso. The sweet miso flavor plus the delicious fatty flavor of the meat is not overpowered by the sweetness and deliciousness of the meat. I am so happy!
If I were to use a Ghibli analogy, I would compare this to Arrietty, the main character in "Arrietty the Borrower. This is Arrietty at the beginning, before anything goes wrong. She is cute, energetic, cool, and seems to be living closer to nature than humans.
Satisfaction: ★★★★*

こるね<Fresh, cute, gorgeous, elegant.
A bottle from the Shinshu Jizake Hanpukai Gold Course.
The aroma is gently pleasant, with a hint of pear.
In the mouth, there is a slight carbonation and a mildly refreshing sweet and sour fruity taste. The sweetness and acidity gently swells. And then, the hint of pear aroma.
Yum! No wonder it is so popular. It's so delicious!
The label on the back says, "Brewed with great care to express flamboyance and elegance. It is indeed gorgeous and elegant.
As it warms up a little, it has a nice aroma, and the mouthfeel is thick and smooth. Oh, it's getting erotic. It is elegant, cute, and a little erotic. These characteristics, which are not usually found together, are packed into this sake.
To use a Ghibli analogy, it is four years after Clarice in "The Castle of Cagliostro". The elegance & refinement of a grand duchess. Yet cute and gorgeous with a smile. And the four years have added a touch of sexiness. It's the best.

WakamusumeTropical Bunbun 純米吟醸 無濾過生原酒 うすにごり純米吟醸原酒生酒無濾過にごり酒 こるね<Tropical! Slightly coconut, light mist
The aroma is banana and lactic acid. Yes, it is somewhat tropical.
The mouthfeel is slightly gassy.
It has a mango-like sweetness, lactic acid pineapple acidity, and a slight bitterness. The bitterness comes out in the middle, but the sweetness swells together with it, so it's not bad at all.
It's so good! It's impressive and delicious!
And what's wonderful is the hint of aroma. It has a slight coconut flavor and is very tropical. It's like a pina colada cocktail. I've never had anything like this before!
I know it's not Ghibli, but it's like the Hawaiian scene in Haruki Murakami's novel "Dance, Dance, Dance.
It was so delicious that I had another one at the end. It was so good!

こるね<A clean, mild honey-sweet, soft flavor.
PB of Shibataya Sake Shop, a Tokyo sake store.
This sake has two types of yeast: Tsukishita-bijin and strawberry.
Tsukishita-bijin yeast "produces a gorgeous but not too assertive aroma and a crisp, tight acidity.
Strawberry flower yeast "has a sweet, glossy aroma and a fresh, crisp taste.
These are the characteristics of strawberry yeast.
The aroma is gentle and refreshing acidity.
The taste is gently sweet and softly delicious. The aftertaste is clean. It is a clear and beautiful sake. It has sweetness, but it is not as sweet as expected. I expected some sourness, but there is almost none.
However, as it warmed up, the umami and acidity opened up. Totally different from earlier! The umami and acidity came out clearly, and finally the umami bitterness. Interesting!
Personally, however, I prefer the first snow-cold one.
If I were to compare it to Ghibli, I would say it is like Anna, the main character in "Marnie of the Memories". I thought she would be quiet, but she is surprisingly full of flavor and bitterness.
Satisfaction level: ★★★☆☆☆

こるね<Sweet and sour, and from there, umami.
Nice to meet you, Mr. Yu, from the Nagai family in Numata City, Gunma Prefecture. The concept of this sake is that it is an unusual sake. In English, "normal" = "usual" and "unusual" = "unordinary," so this sake is "un)usual" because it is an ordinary sake but not normal.
What is unusual about this sake is that it is a normal sake, but it is squeezed into a bag.
I am looking forward to seeing what it is like.
The aroma is delicious. It seems to be dry.
In the mouth, it is softly sweet and acidic. From there, the umami comes in gogo-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go. The aroma is also very umami, and there is a lingering aftertaste of umami bitterness.
I've never had a bottle like this before!
It is umami dry, but it is not classic or classic. But it's not fruity or modern at all. What the heck is this!
If I were to compare him to Ghibli, he would be like Chancellor Tokumaru from "From Up On Poppy Hill. He is a charming old man with a big hearty laugh. He is a liberal character in that now classic era.

A liquor aged in Islay whiskey barrels. There are many kinds of whiskey, but the one from Islay is a severely weird one. Anyway, it is very peculiar.
The aroma is already perverted. It has the scent of iso. Iso aroma is not a banana-like isoamyl acetate ginjo aroma, of course, but a peaty iso aroma that is very Islay. But not only that, there is also a slight lactic acidity.
In the mouth, it is acid-powaho sweet-umami. From there, it is acid-powaho sweet-amami. Then, more umami alcohol.
The aftertaste is sweet and bitter, with a hint of Islay.
I've had a lot of weird sake in the past, but this is by far the weirdest. Is this what they mean when they say it's hard to describe? I love it.
If I were to use a Ghibli analogy, it would be the spider from "Gedo Senki". He is the last boss of unknown age and gender. In the original setting, he is a wizard who was excellent but fell into darkness because of his power. How did this happen!

Ooyama◯嘉大山 TAKA 高濃度8.8水仕込み 新・生酒純米原酒生酒無濾過 こるね<Rich sweetness, flavor, and bitterness... boom, boom, boom.
The other day, I drank a "identical twin-breed sake" made by Yoshi of Fatty Gah Daizan. The only difference is the timing of pressing. The first pressing in February was the previous "YOSHI," which had a normal alcohol content of 15 ºC, and the current "TAKA" has a higher alcohol content of 18 ºC.
The aroma is of sugar-sweet lactic acid, nuttiness, and alcohol. This seems to be very rich.
The mouthfeel is smooth and smooth, with a hint of sweetness and acidity. You think, "Oh, this is a good wine, but it's only for a moment. The next moment, the sweet and tasty acidity is boom! And then, to top it all off, the umami-bitter-al also smacks you in the face!
The sweet and bitter aftertaste lingers on for a long time. This is intense, but I don't mind it. Yoshi was strong, but TAKA is even stronger!
If I were to use a Ghibli analogy, it would be Charles from "Laputa: Castle in the Sky. He is the macho eldest son of Dora. He's a brainy guy.

dragon_tadaLight and low alcohol with a lot of acidity despite the name Smooth. dragon_tada333 is citric acid, lactic acid, and malic acid.
It is a sake that brings out the characteristics of acidity, but it is surprisingly cohesive and acidic! but it is surprisingly cohesive and acidic! こるね<A refreshing, yet deliciously bitter taste.
KEG DRAFT SAKE" is a sake server with a 10L tank that can maintain the flavor and freshness of freshly squeezed sake for a long time. This time it is Rairaku.
The aroma is deliciously bitter and refreshing. The delicious flavor of rice and the beautiful bitterness are delicious.
The mouthfeel is a sparkling carbonic acidity. Citrus sweet, sour, and bitter. Then, it has a delicious bitter taste. The umami bitterness is refreshing yet robust and delicious. The aftertaste is also slightly bitter, and the umami bitter aroma is very pleasant.
The refreshing, shwashy taste is just as expected. The umakyo is very strong, and in a good way, it betrayed my expectations. Delicious beyond expectations!
To use a Ghibli analogy, it is the Ferrarin from "Red Pig". He is Porco's old friend in the Italian Air Force. He is a solid and excellent man who remained in the military after World War I and rose to the rank of major. Unlike Porco, he is a refreshingly handsome man who is on the straight and narrow path. That is why he feels bitter about the situation in Italy.

It has been a long time since I have had Atago no Matsu.
The last time I drank it was almost two years ago, and it was "Atago no Matsu" written in hiragana and "Harukoi" in pink nigori. This time it was Summer Love.
This sake is an annual summer sake. But actually, last year and the year before, it was social distance and the two hearts were separated. This year, the hearts are sticking together! It's not completely settled yet, but it's very emotional, isn't it?
Let's drink.
The aroma is of delicious rice, soft sweet banana, and refreshing lactic acidity.
On the palate, the refreshing acid-sweetness is soft and gentle. From there, sweetness and umami come in a slight breeze. It is a beautiful, refreshing, and gentle sake.
As the temperature rises, the umami also opens up. It is also good because it has a deep and gentle flavor.
If I were to use a Ghibli analogy, it would be the love between Jiro and Nahoko in Karuizawa in "The Wind Rises. It is gentle and tender, yet deep love. It is the same in that it becomes deeper as time goes by.
Satisfaction: ★★★★

谷泉特別純米 無濾過生原酒 Orangeラベル特別純米原酒生酒無濾過 こるね<The strange, strange taste is slowly developing.
The aroma is "Al-Umapon". Alcoholic flavor is tingling, but not unpleasant. Mysterious!
The mouthfeel is also strange. It has all the elements of sweetness, umami, acidity, and bitterness, but not any of them. From there, the umami gradually starts to come through. It is neither matured nor gruesome, but a strange flavor spreads and continues in the aftertaste. It is peculiar but addictive.
It is suitable as a food wine. For Japanese cuisine, it would be good with thickly simmered dishes. It is also good with Chinese food.
As it warms up, the acidity opens up. It has the sweet and sour taste of Valencia orange and the bitter taste of orange peel. But it seems to be different from the citrusiness of white yeast rice.
If we compare it with Ghibli, it is like Mr. Caproni in "The Wind Rises. He is a famous Italian airplane design engineer who appears in the dreams of the main character, Jiro. He is a mysterious man. He is very peculiar, but I don't feel bad about it. In fact, he is Jiro's target. He is also the Mephistopheles who inspires Jiro. Oh, by the way, this sake seems to go well with Italian food.
