The bottle was in pretty good health, and we almost opened it, but we managed to get it safe. After the crispness spreads on the tongue, the concentrated grapefruit-like acidity, melon-like sweetness, and umami open up in a flash! The finish is sharp and clean with a touch of bitterness. 4.5

First fall sake of the year. It is my favorite Oumine. The overall taste is rounded and mild, unlike the usual fresh Omine. However, the way the umami and sweetness stand out is unique to Omine. It is delicious. I like cold sake, so I chill it in any season, but I guess it is also good at room temperature. There were Omachi and Yamadanishiki, but I chose Yamadanishiki. I always say that I should have bought both, but I thought that the tendency to choose Yamadanishiki as the cheapest option was not good. (What do you think?)

One cup of delicious Daimine. I found it at Isetan and immediately repeated it. I found it at Isetan, so I immediately repeated it. But it's not much. I wanted a little more. But I can drink it while savoring it little by little, and it is good for my health if I finish it with only this one cup. It is good for your health. Please make it a little bigger next time.

Drinking at home. A brewer came to the sales floor of a department store. I bought it because I was told it was a sake to be entered in a sake competition 😄. 100% Yumenokou from Aizu The color is clear. Smell is sweet 😚. Taste is gentle sweetness, lychee-like sweetness ☺️ Very beautiful sweetness, and it goes down the throat well. The ginjo aroma is also sweet and the elegant fragrance spreads. It is a gentle clean with the sweetness fading gently. The expression of sweetness is exquisitely beautiful, and the sake has a clear impression with no leesiness.

Purchased at Isetan in Shinjuku. I had always wanted to try Tokyo's sake, so when I saw it on the shelves, I had to buy it. It was my first visit to this store and I enjoyed looking at the good selection. However, the staff were very passionate and it was hard to take my time to look around. But that's OK. I drank it without much prior knowledge of what it was like, and found that it did not have a modern feel and was quite sweet. I like Kangiku, so I was totally fine with it, but I think I'm starting to prefer less sweet sake these days. Maybe my tastes are changing. The original reason for my visit to Shinjuku was to see a performance by my friend from junior high school, Kaminarimon Kosukeroku, for the first time in about 10 years. It was quite fun to watch his rakugo performance, which included storytelling, magic tricks, and street performances. I am not familiar with rakugo at all, but it was interesting. I am not familiar with Rakugo at all, but this was also interesting. After the performance, I told the staff what had happened and met the performer himself. It was an unexpected petit reunion, and I felt that it had been a while since I had had a good time from the bottom of my heart.

Hello, freelancer first generation man 😀. It looks like you enjoyed your petit reunion from your friend's high school 😀. I thought it was easy to get Yamoru-san in Tokyo 🤣. But here, I had to look around quite a bit 😅.

Good evening, Mr. Freelancer! We too went to Shinjuku Isetan in search of Yamori 🤗There was indeed a lot of pressure to be waited on to speak to someone 😅Unexpected reunion! It's great to be able to enjoy it from the bottom of your heart 🥹.

Drink at home. Purchased at a department store. I was going to buy another Yamoru, but the clerk recommended me to buy this one because it's only available now ❗️. I'm a sucker for limited editions and only available now 😆. 100% Omachi from Okayama Prefecture The color is slightly amber. Almost transparent. The aroma is soft and sweet. The mouthfeel is ultra-fine and carbonated. The taste is clean and sweet, like green apple🍏. In addition, sourness and a bit of bitterness. They can be felt almost at the same time. Each taste is well-balanced and harmonious. The taste is cool and refreshing as it goes down. A local Tokyo sake 🍶. I have made up my mind to continue to support 📣 my hometown Tokyo sake 🍶.

Hi Hiro 😃 We also got two bottles of Yamori🦎 at Isetan when we were in Shinjuku and enjoyed them 🤗. You can't buy it in Tochigi, so if you want to drink it, you have to go back to Tokyo 😆.

★★★☆☆☆ I had high expectations, but the Mimuro cedar was no match for it. Transparent. Polished to 25% milling degree. Good sharpness, little spread. Dry and a little bitterness remains. 11,000 yen The more you drink, the better it tastes. It doesn't interfere with your meal, and you can drink it faster.

Anyway, the beautiful bottle is eye-catching✨. A true lapis lazuli. The taste is a bit complex, strong and dark with a slightly bitter sweetness. It would be easier to drink if it had a little more acidity....

Drink at home. Purchased at Depa. 5,000,000 rocks 100%. The color is light nigori. Smell is cemedine-like, and I think it is a classic type. The mouthfeel is soft. In the mouth, there is no sweetness, and the umami of rice can be felt. After that, there is a skittishness like that of a hacca. After drinking, it leaves a piquant sensation on the tongue. On the second day, the cemedine sensation is suppressed and the rice flavor becomes more apparent. I thought it was a royal classic sake🍶.

Gorgeous aroma. You can feel lychee or melon. It has a light sweetness and acidity. It has a sharpness that is not overpowering, so it can be used as a mid-meal drink. I heard that Morinokuma-san is a special A-ranked rice for 5 consecutive years 😃.

Drink at home. Purchased at Depa. Nagano rice Kinmon Nishiki The color is clear crystal. Smell is a little weak for a daiginjo. Slightly carbonated in the mouth. The sweetness is a blue fruit type sweetness. The sweetness is like that of lime or lotus, and it is not too sweet. The mouthfeel is clean and goes straight through. It is not too sweet, so it has a nice clean taste and is light in the mouth. A refreshing and light sake 🍶. It was gone in no time 😅. I wonder if it tastes even better in summer 😋.

Purchased at Depa. I bought this bottle because I enjoyed the story of the brewer who came to sell it. He said that he drinks it every day to check if the taste has changed 😆. The sake rice is Gohyakumangoku from Kyoto. When I opened the bottle, there was a nice aroma of ginjo aroma. The anticipation is high. The color is clear and transparent. On the palate, it has a refreshing sweetness. There is a delayed but discreet piquancy. Finally, it is pierced by a sour and lime-like taste. The sweetness disappears without being pulled out, and the cleanness is good. The fragrance is mellow and deep. You can feel the careful craftsmanship of each and every sake. It was delicious. ❗️ I will buy it again 💪.

100% Hokkaido Ginpu Slightly alcoholic and sour. I thought it was going to be a big surprise, but when I put it in my mouth, contrary to my expectations, it is clear, watery, and soft. The taste is complex, with a moderate sweetness and a slight bitterness at the same time.... Furthermore, the sweetness and bitterness change in the second and third sips. Delightful 😊. The aftertaste is a clean finish with the sweetness & bitterness disappearing as if melting into each other. Light and refreshing. I thought this sake would be great to drink in the summer 🍶.

Hi, Mr. Noodle Wine King. Thank you for your comment 😊. I found out about Hokkaido sake from Sake-no-wa and was looking for a sake with rice also from Hokkaido ❗️ and I was lucky enough to come across it. It is the northernmost sake brewery in Japan. ‼️ I'm learning a lot about it: 🙇‍♂️

100% Kyoto sake rice, celebratory rice Slightly sweet strawberry🍓 like aroma. The mouthfeel is mellow, but then you are surprised by the acidity and tanginess. The aftertaste is elegant, with a hint of strawberry flavor again. The second sip is easy to drink like water without the tanginess, as if you have gotten used to it. It reminds me of Kyoto's obanzai (traditional Japanese food), with a strong but not overpowering character. I was deeply impressed by the fact that this is Kyoto's sake.

I learned about Risshun Shibori at Sake-no-Wawa. When I was hesitating to buy it at the department store, the brewer handed it to me with a smile, and I decided to buy it. The brewer told me a lot about it. The aroma is blue citrus like sudachi 🤔. The taste is sweet and sour like green apple. It is clean and crisp. When you savor it slowly, the ginjo aroma spreads in your mouth. Because it is slightly carbonated, it is easy to drink like a cider. The label has "Daikichi" written on the back, a thoughtful good-luck charm. If I find it again next year, I will not hesitate to buy it.

I happened to see Tanaka Sentori the day after I drank Tanaka Roku Go at a sushi restaurant. I would not normally buy this wine at such a low price, but I took advantage of this coincidence and bought it. It is delicious with a mild acidity typical of Sentori and a beautiful flavor typical of Tanaka Rokuugo. I have the impression that the two flavors are not so much well mixed, but rather two stories. Rather than the goodness being diluted by mixing the two, the goodness of both is conveyed straight to the palate. It is delicious.
