Shirasugi Sake Brewery is famous for making unusual sake.
The name is also unusual.
They use very little (none?) sake rice in the brewing process. They use almost (not at all?) no sake rice in their sake brewing.
They also use white or black malted rice.
This sake is made with Koshihikari rice and No.4 yeast for shochu.
The fruity aroma of green apple is strong.
And it has a strong sour taste.
It has a modern style, but it is a little peculiar for a sake.
If you try to drink it as a food sake, you may be surprised.
It is such a sake. 南十字輝7/10
Dewazuru's unfiltered unpasteurized sake. 60% Omachi polished rice.
Gorgeous taste, fruity.
The aroma was melon, lychee, and a hint of vanilla.
The second half was full-bodied with a bitter taste, and I was surprised that such a strong sake existed.
I would like to drink it again. 南十字輝8/10
Dewazuru Aizan.
In addition, UT-1, Akita's original yeast, is used.
I hear that sake is not about rice, but when I hear Aiyama, I want to try it.
This sake has a fruity aroma typical of Aizan and a melon-like sweetness.
I like that it also has a softly sour taste. 南十字輝6/10
It's a KURAND sake.
It seems to be a very high spec and expensive one.
But it's difficult to evaluate KURAND sake.
It is fresh and juicy.
The mouthfeel is very gorgeous.
It also has a milky nuance.
It's certainly delicious, but I wonder why it seems a little difficult to appreciate.

Junmai Daiginjo-shu from Sawanohana.
This is an unfiltered raw sake type.
Compared to the hi-ire type, it is fresher and a little gassy.
This one has a stronger aroma, which I prefer.
It is also good to taste a bit of astringency and bitterness. 南十字輝7/10
A seasonal product of Sawanohana.
Junmai Daiginjo-shu made with Miyamanishiki and Akari Ogawa yeast.
Compare with unfiltered raw sake.
The taste was gorgeous and beautiful.
It has a fruity aroma of melon and muscat.
It was a sweet but refreshing sake. 南十字輝7/10
Okura's special junmai made with Bizen Asahi from Okayama Prefecture.
With an alcohol content of 17%, it has a fairly robust flavor.
It also has a thickening effect.
Okura is said to have many of this type.
The mouthfeel is heavy, but the fruity aroma comes afterwards. 南十字輝6/10
Inazato's first Shiborisake.
It is bottled as it is in its raw state, and is nigori sake, which is the second fermentation in the bottle.
It had been a little while since the first sip, so the fizziness had settled down, but I enjoyed the slightly sharp taste.
It was creamy and rich.
I would like to pair it with fried food. 南十字輝5/10
This sake is treated as Inazato's separate package. It is said to be a limited edition sake.
This is my first time to drink Inazato itself, so I don't understand the concept.
It is a fresh-brewed sake made from Hitanishiki produced in Ibaraki Prefecture.
It has a clean taste with a slight fruity aroma.
In the photo, it is paired with mozuku, a strong flavor, but it was a good match, so it could be paired with just about anything. 南十字輝6/10
Eikun's Spring Sake is made with Kitashizuku from Hokkaido.
It uses Shizuoka yeast 5MT-14, a yeast that is not very familiar to most people.
Although it is called "flower," the taste is rather dry.
It reminded me of a flowery aroma, but it was a robust sake that matched well with a meal. 南十字輝6/10
It's like a spring sake!
The rabbit label is cute.
I didn't open my mouth, so I could only feel a slight sense of bubbles, but I knew it was a refreshing sake.
It has a strong sweetness with a white peach aroma.
It fits the image of the cute label, and people who like rabbits will like this sake.
I'll leave it at that. 南十字輝6/10
The first Mitsuo Yamakawa of 2023.
This time the brewer is the Mitobe Brewery.
There seems to be a story behind every bottle, and this time it is about a fat Mitsuo Yamakawa who wakes up healthy.
It was brewed with an eye toward pairing with yogurt-based dishes, and the use of white malted rice gave it a strong citric flavor.
This kind of brewing is interesting.
There is also a recipe video on YouTube, and they are well aware of the concept and promotion.
I think this is a sake I would like to see spread more widely. 南十字輝7/10
Spring sake from Kido.
It has a robust aroma and a slightly dry taste.
It is easy to drink as a food sake.
Tempura would probably go well with it.
It is about to be served with cod sprouts, so this sake made me want to try tempura. 南十字輝7/10
This sake is made from 25% polished rice called "Nikomaru," which is Nagasaki's rice rice.
QUEEN because the flavor is feminine.
It was about the color of a lactic acid drink, and as it was, it was a sweet sake.
Hiran has a fruity impression, but this one is also quite gorgeous and fluffy.
I don't know if it was the rice or what, but it had a kind of light and fluffy impression. 南十字輝6/10
I was wondering how to read "肆号", but it seems to be a big character for four, and it is read as "shi". Shi-go.
Why does it sound a bit wotan?
It has a subtitle "Our Acid" (also otaku-ish) and says it is made with white koji 4-dan, which gives it a sour taste.
It was indeed sour and crisp, and the quality of the sake was in line with the concept.
I wondered what the "4" was.
I looked it up but couldn't figure it out, so someone please tell me. 南十字輝7/10
Yamamoto's No. 7 yeast. By the way, the No. 6 yeast has a red label.
This sake has a clear and gorgeous aroma, which is typical of the No. 7 yeast.
The ginjo aroma is present, as well as citrus and melon-like sweet aromas.
It also has a Yamamoto-like flavor.
On the other hand, I wonder if the No. 6 yeast is not like Yamamoto. Let's try it next time. 南十字輝7/10
This is a collaboration sake with Pantobisco from Yamabusyu.
I haven't had this in a while, but I wonder if this is also what is called 4MMP. I don't have the vocabulary.
It has a strong muscat aroma and a bubbly taste, so I started to drink it like muscat juice.
It's like a young and fresh drink. 南十字輝5/10
This is said to be Eikawa's standard sake.
As it is called "dry," it tastes quite dry.
It has a sharp taste and is easier to drink when heated.
Eikawa has another brand called Aizu Ryugasawa, which is said to have a very modern taste.
I heard that it is not sold very often in Tokyo, so I will look for it. 南十字輝6/10
Next was Koshi's Risshun Morning Press.
It is so luxurious to be able to compare drinks.
It has a fruity flavor with a piquancy that is typical of Koshi.
The taste was quite different from Eikawa's and it was a fun comparison.
It is nice to drink sake that feels the season. 南十字輝6/10
This is the first time I've had Eikawa's Risshun Morning Squeeze.
And I'm nervous to drink it next to the Eikawa sales person next door.
The taste is quite dry.
I said "It's a little bit thick" because I felt it lingered in my mouth a little, but I guess I was wrong because I didn't get it at all. Sigh. RecommendedContentsSectionView.title
