After drinking the Hanamup series, we finally arrived at Junmai Daiginjyo Yamadanishiki!
Smooth sweetness and rice flavor typical of Hanamup
Finished with a crisp aftertaste!
It was a masterpiece of perfection!
Is this the last of this year's Hanamup series?
I hear that the price of sake will be raised next year due to the rice price, and I wonder if Hanamup will also become more difficult to afford...
It has a fresh ginjo aroma with a slight gassy freshness. The sweetness is dry, but there is enough umami and a bit of sourness and bitterness to make it refreshingly delicious. 😋😋😋😋
The body of 65 polished rice is also good.
I drank about 2 gos of it every day and wondered if there was any more. I was like, "Oh no more?

The label is the brewery I went to in the summer! When I was shown around the brewery for a bit, I remember they said they were not making sake at the moment and were letting it mature in tanks. I remember they said they are not making sake at the moment and maturing it in tanks. I bought it 🍶.
The aroma on the nose is not ginjo, but it is beautiful.
It has a dry, umami acidity, sweetness and spiciness that is closer to the mid-palate than Jindai, and a harmonious mouthfeel with a sense of umami. 😋😋😋😋 It is an autumn sake!
No gassiness.
It is quite good as a food sake🙆♂️ because there is no ginjo aroma, so the aroma will not fight with any food 👏👏👏👏.

October 21, 🙌FC Machida Zelvia got their first win in Asia against ACLE Shanghai Haigang. When I started rooting for the team, they were relegated to JFL soon after being promoted to J2 😭🙌
Yamagata Masamune Sake Mirai, the quintessential Yamagata Ginjo Sake👏👏👏.
Refreshing and gorgeous ginjo aroma. The top nose has a grape nuance.
There is a strong sense of gas. Fresh, with a balance of umami and acidity with a little bitterness.
It is too easy to drink with a clear, fine-bodied, highly polished body!
It has a medium sweetness and spiciness.
If you drink it for the first time and are blindfolded and told it's a Jyushiro, you'll think it's a Jyushiro.
I wonder if it's because Sake Mirai can produce a sense of high purity that you wouldn't think it was 50 polished rice.
I can't miss Yamagata Masamune's Sake Mirai either 🤗.
3,900 yen without tax, a price that makes sense👍
Oh, no! The one I bought in Aomori is now sold at Koyama Shoten! But it's so good and so cheap that I'm going to buy it again.
I learned during my trip to Aomori this summer that Nishida Shuzo has a brand called Kikusen.
It has a refreshing ginjo aroma on the nose. It is a very clear, light and dry sake with a sense of umami. Slightly gassy. Good cold sake. 😋😋😋😋
The sweetness is on the dry side. The quality of Nishida Sake Brewery is second to none!
I'll copy and paste my own impression.
2600 yen without tax, supposedly the regular price but 100 yen more than Asamushi Onsen in Aomori ❓❓
First fall sake of the season 🍶.
Fresh ginjo aroma with a fresh, slightly gaseous taste. The fine-bodied, delicious acidity is delicious with the calmness of having been laid down until autumn. 😋😋😋😋
When the bottle is opened, it has a hard mouthfeel, like Evian 🎯. It is also good. After a few days, the gas escapes and more acidity is felt, which is also good.

Good morning, Pitama!
I remember that I really liked Kamokin's autumn sake when I tasted it last year 😋.
I would like to try some of their regular sake as I haven't encountered it since then 🤗.
I'm sure you'll enjoy the change of days 😊.
Good morning, ma-ki-san 🌞.
Kamo Kanehide is a recent favorite of mine and they are all very tasty. The seasonal sake is more and more often I pick it up because of its gentle price 👍 Please do!
The sweet flavor that is typical of Kangiku fills the mouth.
It has a long aftertaste, but it is well settled with a sharp finish.
It's really good as I thought. That's all I can say.
Sake that won the highest distinction at the Omachi Summit 2025.
Fruity ginjo aroma. Sweetness and a slightly thin body with a beautifully delicious acidity. Slight bitterness.
Medium sweetness and dryness, juicy and delicious. 😋😋😋😋
No gassiness.
It is best served cold! It is juicy and easy to drink, which is unique to Omachi.
When compared to various other wines, this one is delicious! I can see why people would rate it as "delicious" if they compared it with other wines.

At this price point, I'm not sure when to open it, but maybe I've laid it down too long...?
Like the Junmai Ginjo Yamadanishiki Nao Kumi released in May, it has a rich, mellow sweet taste with a pronounced pineapple flavor!
Compared to the Junmai Ginjo, I have the impression that the aftertaste is a little less bitter and a little more nicely rounded.
It is very tasty, but I don't think the difference in price is as great as the difference in taste.
I'll have another Hanahayo next season...

First time in Oita Prefecture
Receiving Chiebijin's Nama-ripened Hachitan-Nishiki
It is made by letting it mature for half a year in its raw state.
In the mouth, sweetness, umami, bitterness, and acidity swell.
As the label says, it goes well with cheese and dishes with strong flavors. It is also good to pour it into a wine glass and drink it at a calm time before going to bed.
Modern dry fresh sake🍶.
Fresh ginjo aroma on the nose.
The balance of the flavor is more acidic and bitter. The sweetness and spiciness are dry and refreshing when served cold. It is fresh and gaseous!
The acidity is just right and delicious. 😋😋😋😋
Dry but with a strong umami taste.
This sake was opened before the trip to Aomori Akita.

Fruity, juicy fresh sake 🍶.
If I come across Eiko Fuji Sake Mirai, which I previously thought of as a Jyushiyo-like sake at this time, I have no choice but to buy it!
That's why we held a Yamagata Ginjo Sake Fair at our house. ‼️
It is full of fruity ginjo aroma. Fresh and juicy with a delicious acidity and strong gassiness in the mouth 😋😋😋😋😋.
Moderate bitterness and sharpness. Sweet and spicy, sweet and spicy.
Sake that was opened before the Aomori Akita trip.

It's still hot in the summer, so this refreshingly sweet drink is perfect! Fresh and wine-like acidity. It is fresh and has a wine-like acidity, so you can drink it in large gulps.
