Well-balanced, easy to drink and pleasant to drink.
The sweetness and umami are well balanced, but the acidity is less pronounced than in Mie Yamadanishiki Nama.
The taste is fleeting, disappearing quickly in the aftertaste.
Wanashi-like character.
To be honest, it does not have much character.
The Mie Yamadanishiki has opened up considerably over the course of the day, so I would expect this one to do the same.
As expected, it opened well, so I'll revise it.
Which one is better is too much a matter of taste, but I personally prefer the Mie Yamadanishiki raw, so I'll give it this rating.
Comparison.
The sweetness is a little more refined.
The difference between the raw and the hi-iru is probably the difference, but it is gentle, calm, and light.
Almost no bitterness or other elements other than sweetness and acidity.

If it's your first time in Iwate, you must be an akatake!
We started with a Junmai sake.
When you put it in your mouth, you will feel the soft sweetness and the delicious taste of rice.
Later, the alcohol stimulates the tongue, and as it passes the throat, the spiciness and bitterness fades away.
It is a perfect accompaniment to a meal.
I want to keep a bottle of this sake on hand at all times.
I first started drinking Matsumoto when Mr. Toji Matsumoto was in charge of the brewery and had a fire-aged Ihyakumangoku for a few years. This is the third time I have posted on Sake-no-wa.
It has a fruity aroma, acidity, and a moderate but core sweetness and umami. Delicious! I thought it would have a more energetic and messy taste since it is a nama-shu, but it is very clean and coherent, and it seems to soak into the body from the mouth smoothly. Perhaps it was just a coincidence, but it had a similar sensation to Senkou's Hatsu Tank Arabashiri. The one I bought happened to be less fizzy, so it was more moist than the Sentori.
It is enough on its own, but I think it tastes better as a food sake, where its flavor shines through. It goes perfectly with Japanese food in general! It is good to drink with New Year's festive dishes, and especially delicious with dashi soup and other less heavy meals!
I don't drink it often because it is not carried at the restaurants I frequent, but I think it is a definite sake, just like Shinomine. I was impressed by the best tasting clear sake I have had in recent years!
Urasato Light nigori 2nd
It is delicious, isn't it? I saw it and caught it immediately.
The supernatant is a little bit sweet. Dry and delicious😍.
Even after mixing in the oli, the dryness remains the same.
The higher the temperature, the sweeter and tastier it gets ✨.
I can drink it all the time. It's so good!
Good evening, Jay & Nobby 🌙.
It's delicious! I'm sure you'll agree👍It's delicious and easy to drink, and you two might just kill it in a blink of an eye 😆 Please do try it ❗️
This is the first time I've seen the Koyama Shoten limited edition wind label for Nabeshima 🍶.
A definite sense of gas. Fruity top nose with a gorgeous ginjo aroma. Slightly sweet and dense with a good balance of umami acidity and bitterness, fresh and delicious. 😋😋😋😋
The alcohol content is a little high at 16 degrees, and the density of sweetness and umami is very dense and delicious.
It tastes great right after opening the bottle, and you can feel the sweetness and density even more after it has been out of gas for a while 😆.
The wind label I drank for the first time is delicious.... I'll try it every year...

Good morning, Pitama 😃!
The word "limited edition" is very attractive 😍I'm glad to see that you have a bottle after Senkou 😍‼️ and the deliciousness you want to follow every year 😊.
Good evening, Pitama 😊.
The Nabeshima wind label ❣️ is delicious 😍
Dora (my husband) went to Koyama Shoten to buy this 😆🚙💨 this will be a repeat purchase 😘I'll have him go back next year 😝.
Good evening, Tsubu-chan 😄
Sir, you came from Tochigi prefecture to buy Nabeshima style labels - you know who you are 😁 Delicious indeed! We hope to see you again next year!
Refreshing citrus 🍋fresh sake 🍶.
I bought a bottle of Senkou after the re-branding!
I chose Arabashiri.
Last month, I only saw the new label of Sentori in bottle #4, so I was worried that they would run out of bottles of Sentori, but my fears were unfounded 😉.
This arabashiri was quite cloudy.
It has a fresh ginjo aroma with a strong gasiness. The umami acid bitterness is quite acidic. Sweet and spicy is dry and fresh lemon squash. 😋😋😋😋
Low alcohol and light~.
The acidity is dry and close to that of white wine. But it also has the umami of sake. It tastes like the sour and dry version of the previous Sengoku Kisetsu Shu 👍.
Sentori's fast brewing was also delicious, but will we be able to drink it anymore? Will it survive?
The next sake after the new modern one is also a perfection to look forward to.

Good evening, Pitama 😃!
Congratulations on getting a bottle of Renewal Sentori 🎉I saw it at a liquor store in Utsunomiya, but it was labeled "For Restaurants" 🥲I thought it would come out soon 😅I guess a bottle is safe 🤗.
Jay & Nobby, good evening 😃.
I'm so glad you commented here 💦.
I'm really looking forward to what's to come after this as you can't go wrong with Sentori no matter what you drink 😊I'm a bottle drinker so I'm really relieved 😆.
Hi Pitama 😃I actually haven't tasted Renewal Sentori 💦I've only seen the No. 4 bottle here in Kansai, so I'm surprised you found a bottle of it: ☺️ I'd like to try to get my hands on some!
A toast to Shoji Sugihara, the predecessor 🍶.
The label on the back says that he passed away suddenly at the beginning of the year, so he must have been involved in the preparation of this bottle. I don't know him, but whenever I drink sake that Mr. Sugihara was involved in, I always drink it with deliciousness 😋 deliciousness 😋. Thank you 😢. I pray for the repose of the soul of the deceased through this connection.
We will be drinking sake that must have been shipped under very difficult circumstances.
It has a gorgeous fruity ginjo aroma 💐 and a sweet taste with a strong gasiness.
Sweetness with a strong sense of gas. It has a well-balanced sweetness and acid bitterness. Fresh, juicy and delicious 🐎😋😋😋😋
Sweet and spicy, sweet and spicy.
This wine is very tasty and has a special story. Thank you for meeting us. Keiki V, your sake is wonderful.

Good morning, Pitama 😃!
Oh, I'm so sorry to hear that! That's such a hard thing to do 🥺It's very special.
After reading the label on the back, I realized how important it is to say thank you face to face 😌.
Hi Jay & Nobby 🌞.
I know it's a little bit sad, but good food tastes good and it makes my heart grow fonder 😌.
It's important to express our gratitude and love in words: ☺️
The year before last, when I drank KORE's Nigori-nagashi, it was the most delicious sake of the year. Last year, I couldn't find any Yamadanishiki Nigori-no-Nagori, and although I haven't found it again this year, I found a Sumi-nagori and bought it immediately.
The color is clear with a slight yellowish tinge. The initial aroma is a gorgeous one, typical of ethyl caproate. When you drink it, it has an apple and slightly pineapple-like aroma, which everyone likes. It feels light for a moment as it is refreshing and smooth on the palate.
The mild mouthfeel allows this aroma to really shine through. The sweetness fades out in the early to mid-palate as if it is passing the baton to the flavor.
The bitterness comes in at the end, and it is here where the depth and drinkability come into play.
The second or third day is when it really comes into its own, and the sake-like sensation becomes stronger, but it is still too good to be true! The nigorizumi from the year before last had a more vinegary taste, which was right in the middle of what I like, but I'm really happy that they are making a sake that I like so much in the capsule type! Shinomine is never a miss.
Good evening, flos_lingua_est 😃.
Shinomine Rokumaru! I want to drink it 😋 but I haven't encountered it yet 🥲The taste is not a hassle! It makes me want to drink it more and more 🤗
Hi Jay & Nobby, ☀️
This label is PB, but it's hard to find it when you can't even find it in the regular labels...
I'm not very far from a store that carries it either 😭
It's so delicious that I would love to give it to you as a gift 😌.
Syrupy and sweet
A truly mellow sweet taste, sweet and juicy!
The sweetness continues from the beginning to the end, but within the sweetness, there is a slight bitterness and sourness that is beautiful.
I want to enjoy it by itself.

A food-intensive, highly refined junmai daiginjo with a harmony that does not insist but goes well with the broth🍶.
Hexagon of Shinshu Kamerei, even the box is hexagonal!
I happened to come across it last November. Let's have it before the taste changes.
There is a sense of gas. It is true, but the ginjo aroma is not strong.
It has a balance of gentle umami and acid bitterness on the palate.
The sweetness and spiciness is medium, with moderate acidity and bitterness to complement the sweetness and umami.
Gentle harmony that can only be achieved with high refining of 39% polished rice. 😋😋😋😋

Hi Pitama 😃!
Oooh! You went for a good one 🤗This is the only gentle harmony 😌 that you can enjoy, it's very special👍.
And even though I know, I shudder when I see the price again 🫨😆.
Good morning, Jay & Nobby☀.
The price, yes. I hesitated for a moment to buy it.
It was the first time I saw it and I knew it was popular and hard to find thanks to Sake no Wawa, so I took the plunge and bought it 😊😋.
Fresh delicious acid balance 🍶.
Strong gas feeling when opened with a splash!
Fruity and ginjo aroma 😊.
Sweet and spicy with a medium sweetness and a good balance of acidity and bitterness 🍶 😋😋😋😋
It is a very delicious orikarami. It is a Saijo (top class) adult cider made from rice!
This taste is 3000 yen without tax 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏.
☀️
I bought the label✨
The color is light cloudy 🤍.
Smell has a hint of sweet and sour 😊.
On the palate, it consists of tight acidity and light sweetness😙.
I guess it feels similar to a #7 yeast sake 🤔.
It doesn't stimulate the taste buds too much, it feels like a light sweet cider, but with a slight bitterness in the aftertaste.
I didn't find "her" as the description says 😅.
I guess it's a different world for the high class people 🤣.
Good evening, Hiro 😃.
I am so envious of Echigo Den'emon 🤩 because there is no special distributor in Kansai and I can't buy it 🤤.
I heard that this year's goal for Echigo Den'emon, brewed by Mr. Kato alone, is to make an erotic sake, so I'd like to try it at least once this year 😄.
Good morning, Aladdin!
That's great that you brew by yourself 😳 I didn't know about that and bought it. I'm learning a lot 🙏.
I can't imagine it being an erotic drink 💖 but I sure would like to try it 😆.
The gasiness is so strong that bubbles can be seen in the glass. The aroma is gorgeous and sweet.
Mellow, umami, fresh, juicy, and surely sweet. 😋😋😋😋
The balance of umami acidity and bitterness is perfect.
It is juicy but also has a refreshing feeling. What is this?
It's a Jyushidai!
The new year has begun, so I'm going to drink the Jyushiro I won in the lottery during the old year...yummy~!
As I was doing this, I received beef from Murayama City as a tax return gift. Jyushidai also goes well with sukiyaki 😊.

I just realized that there are gold and silver 5 stars in Cho Oroku 🍶.
I went back to Sake-no-wa and found that he has been drinking gold 5-star 😅.
Fresh green ginjo aroma 🌱
It's gassy and acidic with a bitter taste!
But there's a bit of maturity in the nose and taste, a bit different flavor and complexity than fresh juicy. The sweetness is dry and the alcohol is a little strong and certainly dry. In other words, it is delicious. 😋😋😋😋
I wonder if the October shipment is positioned as an autumn harvest?

A beautifully put together, sweet and beautiful sake 🍶.
Many people pick it up at Koyama Shoten, so I bought it based on the rule that a popular sake must be popular.
It has a gorgeous ginjo aroma with a hint of sweetness.
The sweetness and spiciness are slightly sweet. The acidity and bitterness are modest and complement the umami sweetness. The sake is easy to drink. It is a no-stress drink that is hard to believe it is a 15% alcohol sake.
It's been a while since I've had Hana Yuu, but it's still delicious. 😋😋😋😋
It is supposed to be a fresh new sake, but there is no gassy feeling.
It tastes mellow and umakuchi, but while Jyushiyo is juicy with acidity and gassiness, Hana Yuu is different and has a high level of umakuchi 👏👏👏👏. Popular sake is still good.
