The restaurant was full and it was almost time for the last order. So the last sake we ordered was another hidden sake, a Hanyokyu Junmai Daiginjo Unfiltered Nama-shu. This is definitely a delicious sake. It is the ultimate in sweet and sour. It is extremely fruity. It's so fruity, you'd think you were biting into a fresh pineapple. I can't get enough of it.

Shinshu Kamerei Junmai Daiginjo 39 Miyamanishiki. Today's hidden sake is here. As one would expect from a 39% rice polishing ratio, the aroma is very clean, gorgeous, and light. However, the alcohol content is quite strong. It makes the inside of the mouth hot.

Saint INDIGO Akki no Hijiri Junmai Daiginjo. It is a Gumma sake. According to the staff of the former brewer whom we are familiar with, it is a slightly acidic type of sake. It is unfiltered, unpasteurized sake, and the alcohol is quite strong. It has a moderate acidity, but not so much that it makes you yell. It is certainly a sake for different tastes.

Kido Junmai Ginjo Shiboritate. Talking with the manager, we nodded to each other and said, "Kido is the best new sake of the year, isn't it? I had this the last time I was here, and it was still gorgeous, fresh, and delicious.

Today I was in Shinjuku for various reasons, so I went to Sake Cost Sake Brewery.
The first sake was Hououmida Junmai Ginjo Hatsushibori Unrefined Honkaku. The aroma was quite subdued, as the rice was hard and difficult to melt due to the extremely hot summer this year. The freshness was a bit disappointing, but it was still delicious.

Compared Yamagata Masamune Junmai Omachi Namemasa and Shinmasa Ecru. As the description "very Shinmasa-like" suggests, Yamagata Masamune's Shinmasa-ness is tremendous. I can distinguish between them because they are ecru, but if they were R-type or S-type, I might not be able to distinguish them. It's amazing.
But I think there is a difference between acidity first and umami first.

Sagata Super Limited Edition Sugata Junmai Ginjo Unfiltered Nama-Ginjo Unrefined Nama-Shu, a blend of 9 varieties of sake rice. I was surprised to see the label on the back. I was surprised to see on the back of the label that the rice polishing ratio is also changed for each type of sake rice. The taste is quite sweet and syrupy on the palate. There is a caramel-like bitterness in it, as if it has been burnt. Interesting. It is quite distinctive.
By the way, the sake rice used is Yamadanishiki, Gohyakumangoku, Kitashizuku, Aizan, Omachi, Yumesasara, Hitogokochi, Comet, and Ginpu. There was also a Yamata no Sugata, a blend of eight different types of sake rice, in the past, and I am looking forward to seeing how far this brewery will go.

Today we will try to encounter a new sake at Sake Cost Sake Brewery Shinjuku Sohonten.
Raifuku Halloween Label Aifune 206 Junmai Ginjo. This rice is a cousin of Aizan, a famous sake rice. It has the same sweetness and aroma as Aizan, but it is also balanced with bitterness. It is said that this rice is used only at Raifuku.

Wakanami Junmai. The sharpness is typical of junmai sake. It has a long lingering alcohol taste and bitterness that comes out slowly. The taste is fun to drink. That is why Wakanami is my favorite sake.

Ame-go-no-tsuki Junmai Ginjo. This sake won first place in the Jun category at this year's Sake Competition.
It has a light banana-like aroma. Slightly coarse on the tongue, yet smooth on the way through. The aroma is persistent and deep in flavor.

Kido Junmai Ginjo Hiyadoroshi. As I said, Kido is a delicious sake, and Hiyahoroshi is also delicious. It is moist with a hint of bitterness, and the vegetables are delicious. I am glad I ordered the tataki cucumber.

Akabu MOUNTAIN: A slight sourness comes out first, and then a strong fruity acidity attacks the back of the throat. There is also a slight piquancy on the tongue, and it tastes like cider. I like sake with this kind of texture, and I can't resist it because it's still hot.

Today was a day for drinking, so I went to the Shinjuku Sohonten branch of Sake Cost Sake Brewery. The Jyushidai was actually set for next week, but since today was a national holiday, it was on the menu as a guerrilla item.
So I had the Jyushidai Nakadori Junmai Ginjo Banshu Yamadanishiki. The pineapple aroma stands out, but it goes in smoothly without any unpleasant taste. It is still delicious.

I heard it is the best sake for chocolate, approved by Mr. Jean Paul Evin.
They served me chocolate as an extra treat.
