Today I visited my first sake shop, Yanaseya in Asagaya. I was expecting to taste Taman Juho Hiyadoroshi, but was a little disappointed to find that they do not carry it, but I was pleasantly surprised to find that they carry Yamori, which is also from Tokyo. So I had a glass of Yamori's hiyaoroshi. The aroma is soft and sweet. Contrary to the aroma, the taste is not too sweet, but has the richness of having been unfiltered and unpasteurized for one summer. The smooth, rich, yet moderately sweet flavor is so appealing that one could easily drink too much of it. Thanks to my first visit to a sake shop, Yamoru will become a familiar presence in my life.

Good evening, palm farmer😃. You can't buy Yamori in Utsunomiya 🥲. We get them when we go out to Tokyo 🤗I envy your close presence!

Hello, Jay & Nobby. I have taken the liberty of thinking that Yamori-san is a nationally recognized sake that represents Tokyo. I hope Mr. Yamori will do his best to improve the recognition of Tokyo's local sake.

This is the first shibori of Seikou 🍶. We used to offer four types of sake in the early spring, but this year we have changed to two types: Hatsushibori and Jungin Nama-shu. Also, the rice used for the Hatsushibori was changed from only Yamae-Nishiki last year to Miyamanishiki and Yamae-Nishiki this year. I wonder if the high temperatures and rice shortages are having an effect on the rice. The Gohyakumangoku Tokujun from two seasons ago was the sweetest and most delicious, but I wonder if they don't make it anymore 🤔. Well, the first aroma is fresh and sweet with the freshness of new sake. In the mouth, there is an astringent taste and the roughness of new sake with a good full-bodied sweet-umami flavor. It also has a sweet aroma of Tsurubara yeast. As the temperature rises, the astringency disappears and the balance improves. It was delicious ✨. This is the last sake from Sake no Wagami 🤗. Thank you all for your support this year. Let's drink good sake again next year 🍶. Tonight we will drink until the date changes at the year-end party 🤭.

This will be the last Xuanwu in the Qinghuang Four Gods series. I forgot to take a picture before drinking💦. The day I opened the bottle, it felt a bit hard, so I left it in the fridge for 3 days. The top aroma is slightly sweet with a hint of alcohol. I don't think it has a floral yeast feel. When you put it in your mouth, it has a mild sweetness with a slight astringency. The slight astringency gradually fades away. The astringency is a bit prominent. After leaving it for a while and letting the temperature rise, a sweet aroma and sweet flavor emerged. However, I don't think it has much of a floral yeast taste. My personal evaluation of this year's four gods Suzaku (Hatsushibori) > Seiryu (Omachi) > Genbu (Miyamanishiki) > Byakko (Gohyakumangoku) Suzaku was the most delicious, with a gorgeous aroma and sweet flavor from the floral yeast. Last year's Byakkora was similar, but I wonder if it was due to the high temperature disorder of the rice. I'm looking forward to next year again! 🍶

This will be my first Seiryu label Jungin Omachi from Seikou 🍶. The top aroma is a gorgeous aroma of a faint scent of Tsurubara yeast. In the mouth, there is a hint of acidity and an elegant, juicy sweetness that is typical of jungin. It finishes with a slight astringency. The aroma was a little weaker than that of last year's delicious Tokujun Gohyakumangoku and this year's Hatsushibori, but I have not had last year's Jungin Omachi, so I should not compare the two. At any rate, it was delicious 🍶✨.

Good evening, Mr. Matsuchiyo😃. I bought some sake from Kochira today 😁. I almost bought it by mistake because it had almost the same label and was fire-aged next to it 🤣.

Japanese>English

Good evening bouken 🍶. The color of the bottle was the same 😅. The Gohyakumangoku one was not so good due to the rice not dissolving well, but this one had a nice Tsurubara yeast aroma, so I hope it suits your palate 😊.

It's a blue shimmering white tiger label 🐅. The liquor store said the rice didn't melt and it was drier than usual🤔. The top aroma is faintly sweet with a bit of alcohol. The gorgeous aroma of Tsurubara yeast is weak 🤔. In the mouth, refreshing acidity and light sweetness that I didn't feel last year 🤔. The sweetness is moderate due to the slightly stronger acidity. It doesn't have the sweetness and deliciousness of last year's 🤔. It was delicious in this way, but it became something else 😅. I follow Take-no-i Sake Brewery's Twitter account, but for some reason there was no announcement for this Byakutora label only 🤔. I thought they forgot about it...is that what happened 🤔 I'll buy it again next year, so good luck with your rice hardness measures 😌.

I bought this because I have never had sparkling Otters. 100% Yamadanishiki When opened, it has a faintly sweet aroma. When you sip it, it has a great sizzling sensation and a mild sweetness, perhaps due to the lees. It is like Calpis soda. It is not too sweet, but the carbonation makes it pleasant to the palate, which is what you would expect from an otter. When swallowing it, I felt a strong sourness, which reminded me that it was a sake. Although it is 14% alcohol, you can drink it like a juice. I recommend this sake for days when you want to drink something a little lighter.

It will be the newest sake from Qinghuang (Suzaku label) 🍶. Seikou is a sake made with vine rose yeast, and has a series of four gods according to the rice: Suzaku (Yamae Nishiki), Byakko (Gohyakumangoku), Seiryu (Omachi), and Genbu (Miyamanishiki). The nose has a gorgeous sweet aroma with a hint of rose flowers. In the mouth, it has a tangy acidity and a rich, sweet, juicy flavor with a slightly dark, full-bodied flavor that is typical of nama sake. It finishes with a slight astringency. The Byakkora label we had last year was also very tasty and juicy, but this Suzaku label is just as good. I think it's a little too low in the ranking, though it's #5 in Yamanashi 🤔.

I thought it was dry and dry at the moment I drank it. But after the acidity, there was a hint of sweetness followed by a solid umami flavor. It was a dry sake with a moderate aroma. My father loved it 🍶.

I bought a summer-only version of Okunokami before and it was delicious, so I bought another one. I like this one very much. The problem is that I drink too much.
