First Gagakuyo
Receiving Narukami Nama Sake
Nama-shu's gaseous and soft mouthfeel with a hint of fruity sweetness and a clean crispness.
Slightly fruity sweetness and a refreshing sharpness.
Easy to drink on its own.
Garakudai researches and produces new light and dry sake. We will enjoy it again next year!

First time in Fukui Prefecture 🎉.
We had a bottle of Junmai Chou from the regular Tsuneyama lineup.
This is a perfect choice for a mealtime sake or to go with fish or sushi.
Opening the bottle and starting to drink
It is not watery and dry, but rather crisp, dry, and stimulating. I paired it with shishamo (Japanese clams) and it was a great accompaniment as it reset the fat!
Postscript
When it is heated up, the dryness changes to a full flavor, which is also good......the best friend for a cold evening drink!

It is light and slightly sweet in the mouth, but the flavor and spiciness spread gradually afterward. It is very tasty. Very tasty.

takanokatsuhira
A sake that makes cheese taste even better. Long-aged junmai sake brewed with low-polished rice. This is wine. Certainly goes well with cheese.

Slightly tangy and slightly stimulating. Mild and gentle acidity. This may be the first time for me to taste "Gin no Yume" sake rice.

Fresh sweet and spicy fancy guy 🍶.
I came across a bottle of Imi Gin-Sen this season 😁.
Gorgeous ginjo aroma on top of the aroma.
This year's sweet and spicy is slightly sweet. Sweetness, high alcohol spiciness, umami sweetness and balancing bitterness. Fresh gas feeling is strong. Compared to last year, the sweetness is weaker and the bitterness is weaker to match, which is more to my liking than last year. 😋😋😋😋
Is this brewed to achieve this balance? Great technique - Merry Christmas 🥳.
Various elements come together in the mouth in an assertive manner 👏👏👏👏👏👏.
Stronger gasiness.
This year's Ginsen is clear and delicious cold after the gas is gone 😇

2025 New Sake Nigolympics
We will have Urasato Junmai Sake Usu Nigori 2nd
Sweet rice aroma, slight bubbles and lactic sweetness spread on the palate, followed by the lingering sweetness and umami of the rice.
This is too delicious...
The best impression is, of course, the assertiveness of the rice.
is really felt!
Although I just drank it as a latecomer, Urasato is the tentative No. 1 at this moment!
I wish I could keep a bottle while it's still in the store.
(I have a full fridge though 😂)

First take-out sake!
I imagined it to be a robust sake with plenty of umami due to the image of Yamahai brewing, but it was fresh and fruity right after opening the bottle, with a sweetness and a tanginess in the latter half, and it is still a masterpiece of perfection.
I paired it with bonito, and of course it was the best!
It is delicious even if you drink it by itself!
We have to keep it until the end of the year.

Thankfully, I bought the last Ebi of the year!
Looking back, this year I have had the pleasure of drinking white, black, and pink. Each of them has its own unique flavor, giving us the pleasure of drinking the greatness of the sake!
This year's Ginzen Hatsumi
The smoothness of the mouthfeel and the long aftertaste at the end of drinking are excellent. The good parts of Aruzoe are used to make it all come together. It is a masterpiece. I would like to enjoy drinking this sake again next year while reading the label on the back of the bottle.

This is Pitama, who was sold a 50,000 yen Jikin Tokkyo Omachi, but couldn't afford it. The box was elegant and cool.
Now, here are my impressions of Yamasan Sanzan Ke Nishiki.
It has a fresh gasiness. The aroma is fresh ginjo aroma. The nose has a hint of grape.
The balance between acidity and bitterness is strong and the sweetness and spiciness are dry. The gasiness is strong and there are bubbles in the glass. This is a fresh modern dry umami sake ~😋😋😋😋
A beautiful sake with a good acidity. The acidity is much weaker than that of Urashinomine.

Hi Pitama 😃
50,000 yen Jikin-san 😳 that's something to worship 🙏 and look at 😌 let's make it memorable 😌.
Yamazan-san💚 is also a perfect sake to remember 🙏 ‼️

Jay & Nobby, good evening 😀
I couldn't buy it after comparing one bottle of Yongo and 10 bottles of 5,000 yen in my head. Plus probably think I have a stupid tongue that can't taste the taste of 50,000 yen worth to me 🤣.
Yamasan is ridiculously delicious ‼️‼️

Behind this is lemon squash 🍋🍶.
This is sour, but just barely sour enough to be considered sake. The level of sourness is on the level of Senkyoku Black Label after the rebranding.
The aroma is a refreshing ginjo aroma mixed with sourness. The acidity and umami are mixed with a hint of bitter taste, and the fresh gasiness makes it a lemon or grapefruit sake. 😋😋😋😋
The sweetness is dry.
According to the Koyama Shoten pop-up, the rice used is Omachi.
When heated, it takes on a slightly sweet flavor and aroma that is also delicious. ☺️

A gaseous sensation.
The aroma of oriki is mixed with a gorgeous ginjo aroma. Well-balanced acidity and bitterness, fresh and delicious. 😋😋😋😋
The sweetness and spiciness is medium.
Shuwashuwa fresh, thin and cloudy but soft mouthfeel. I wonder if this is the feeling of super soft water?
This is quite delicious 🍶.

A royal taste of Junmai Daiginjo! Very tasty♪ It brightens up when you drink it, opens up with a bang, but also has a fluffy, enveloping flavor and a sense of calmness that would also look great in a wine glass!
With octopus and flatfish sashimi!

Feat.Sakazukin Xmas label
Takachiyo's first purchase, Green Label, was so delicious that it really hit the spot, so we brought home this Xmas Red Label as well.
Now, open the bottle.......as the image and concept of the label suggests, it has an apple-like sweetness and sourness. The acidity has a crispness that cuts through the sourness at the end of the bottle.
I paired it with a thick stewed dish as a mid-meal drink, and the acidity did a great job....
I hope to enjoy Takachiyo's "color" label again next year!

Hanaizumi純米吟醸 活性にごり酒
ichiro18
Kotaro-san told me about Hanaizumi nigori, a sake that Manachie-san also enjoyed drinking 🥰.
The aroma was mild.
I will start with the supernatant. The gas is very piquant. The sweetness is beautiful😍The umami is light yet full, and the acidity is gradually sweet and delicious, making it easy to drink 😊.
Mix the lees ✨The texture is mellow and silky, but the sweetness is pleasantly sweet and refreshing 😊This is delicious 😊.
Third day, it has a mellow texture with a full-bodied sweet umami, and the acidity is crisp and clean! The balance is perfect 😊I can't complain about the taste 😍.
