It's been a long time since I bought Ippo myself. I hadn't had it since I bought it in Fukushima earlier this year.
I don't really have an image of it being available in Tokyo.
Anyway, it is a very cost-effective sake, with a great taste for the price.
It is a versatile sake that can be enjoyed on its own or as an excellent food sake.
It can be served cold or warmed.
It is a sake to be drunk in small sips. 南十字輝5/10
Kamigawa Taisetsu no Tokachi. Junmai Spec has become its signature brand.
It has the mouthfeel you would expect from a Hokkaido sake.
Anyway, one sip and it is refreshing and cool (because you are drinking it cold).
It tends to emphasize the sharpness of the taste because of the image of snow, but it also has a strong flavor.
I think Hokkaido has too strong an image of this sake. 南十字輝5/10
Sake no Omasu is a famous liquor store in Asakusa.
This is their PB brand of sake called "Kannon-ura".
Kannonura" means the back side of Sensoji Temple, and it is generally called Urasakusa, but locals and people familiar with Asakusa call it "Kannonura.
So you drink "Kannon-ura" at Kannon-ura. This is good. Gahahaha. says a Kansai person.
This sake itself has been around for quite a long time, and I have had it several times. This time was the first time in a while.
It has a slightly yellowish color and an aroma of maturity.
It is more of a classic type and is easier to drink when heated.
It is a sake that I sometimes like to drink. 南十字輝5/10
This sake is made from Shizuku Ehime, the first sake rice variety in Ehime Prefecture. This is my first time drinking it.
The taste is fruity and fresh like apples or pears.
I don't know if this is derived from the rice.
There was a slightly vague aftertaste, which is difficult to describe, but it was different from the flavor of the rice.
I would like to compare another sake made with Shizuku Ehime. 南十字輝6/10
On the day of the Beaujolais Nouveau ban, Eikawa also released a nouveau.
Since it was a good opportunity, I decided to be invited to the party.
It is a fresh sake as it is so-called "new sake.
It has a green apple-like aroma with a strong acidity and tastes like a white wine.
I don't think so, but I could taste a hint of astringency.
I like this way of drinking sake. 南十字輝6/10
This is supposed to be a Halloween-only sake, but I drank it a little early.
It has a very strong fruity aroma.
When you drink it, it is very sweet.
It has a pineapple and muscat aroma.
I felt the richness as it went down my throat.
It was a solid drink, not just sweet.
Happy Halloween. 南十字輝6/10
There was a tag on the bottle introducing Lactobacillus mesenteroides, and we had a lot of fun talking about lactobacilli.
They said it was a sake made with a new lactic acid bacteria.
Indeed, the acidity from the lactic acid was strong.
I guessed that Neo-Classic means a new way of sake making using new lactobacilli while still using the traditional sake brewing method.
I apologize if I am wrong. 南十字輝6/10
Sake with a slight fruity aroma, but with a calmness typical of hiyaoroshi.
It is refreshing and has a sour taste in the latter half.
This year, Akita Sake Komachi is used.
It can be drunk easily in cold water. 南十字輝7/10
The mild aroma and mellowness are typical of hiyaoroshi.
It has acidity and can be drunk neatly.
It was like you could just pair it with autumnal flavors without thinking about it.
It was delicious. 南十字輝6/10
I wonder if it's a once-brewed type. Is it hiya oroshi?
The sweetness comes first, and I wonder if this is because it is Miyamanishiki.
The aftertaste is very clean and goes down the throat nicely, giving the impression of a very beautiful sake.
I think it was too sweet for a first drink.
If I see it at a liquor store, I buy it. 南十字輝7/10
Daimine's summer sake, illustrated by Misaki Tanaka.
Low alcohol and fruity. It is a refreshing sake that is easy to drink.
The muscat flavor gives the impression of white wine.
It is said to be a pure sake.
I can drink it every day. 南十字輝6/10
Summer sake from Naekaya.
It is said to be a fresh-stored sake, so I wonder if it is a hiyaoroshi.
Like Reiheki, this sake is also made from Yuyamanishiki, but the impression is quite different, with a clean, light, summery taste.
The fruity flavor is restrained, and the sake is sharp and easy to drink.
It would go well with simmered and soaked eggplant. 南十字輝6/10
A good sake from a good part of the sake mess.
A cloudy sparkling sake with low alcohol content.
I drank it thinking it would be quite sweet from the specs, but it was still sweet.
I wonder if it is better to drink it like an aperitif.
It seemed to be a good way to drink it since it was a toast for a celebration. GangiMUSUHI 祖生棚田自然栽培山田錦純米 南十字輝8/10
I was given a very nice sake from Ganki.
It was a clear sake, nothing fancy, but it had an elegant taste with a moist sweetness and a bit of acidity coming later.
Perfect as a food sake. 南十字輝7/10
Yamamoto's summer sake, which I've been drinking a lot lately.
The name "Doki-Doki" does not mean much, apparently.
The alcohol content is 15 degrees and the acidity is slightly high.
It tastes just as it says with a lot of malic acid, and it tastes like something you would drink in large gulps.
It tastes better when served cold, as the acidity is more pronounced. 南十字輝6/10
If you think this is an unfamiliar sake, it seems to be a sake gacha sake.
The OEM source is Bandai's Kobayashi Shuzo Honten.
It is made from Fukuoka Prefecture's "Yume-Ichiken.
It has a clean and sour taste.
The second half had a bit of bitterness that made it difficult to drink, but in terms of drinkability, it was good. 南十字輝7/10
Regular, right above the top, which I've been drinking a lot lately.
The specs are said to be such that it will become a standard sake, but it is a newer sake in the series.
I have the impression that the Makami sake is basically bitter, and this one also offers bitterness and acidity.
I've had a few of the Shinagami and my impression is that it is stable as a food sake. 南十字輝5/10
It was late at night when I had my first drink, so I started with a heavy sake.
It has a lot of umami, and the mouthfeel that comes with a big thump is probably rare these days.
It has a slightly yellowish color and a strong smell.
I like to drink this kind of sake once in a while. 南十字輝7/10
Sake made from "Matsuyama Mitsui," a rice suitable for sake brewing that is produced only in Ehime Prefecture.
It has a refreshing taste with a hint of acidity and the umami of the rice.
It does not have a gorgeous taste, but it has a never-ending flavor that can be used on a daily basis.
It can be enjoyed at room temperature. 南十字輝6/10
Shinjo's new sake.
It was my favorite when I compared local sake from Ibaraki Prefecture, so I felt safe drinking it.
Delicious sake with freshness and rice flavor.
It has a strong aroma and leaves a unique aftertaste when it goes down your throat.
This is a brand I would like to drink in the future. RecommendedContentsSectionView.title
