It's been a while since I've had a bottle of Shinsei... I used to drink it when I first got into sake, so it's been about 5 or 6 years since I've had it.
I don't know what I was thinking, but it had been stored at room temperature, so I had a bad feeling about it. At first I was like "Hmm? But as the days went by, I became "Oh! as the days went by.
The aroma is mild and slightly peachy. You can already sense the acidity in the nose, so it smells like unripe plums.
Strong acidity in the mouth! There is a little bit of sweetness, but the acidity makes it feel surprisingly dry. At the end, the bitterness and the alcoholic taste will make you feel dry. Despite the dryness, the aftertaste is rather long. It has a unique and interesting flavor.
It's amazing that even after a few days have passed, the strengths of this beer remain unchanged and delicious. I think I caught a glimpse of the greatness of Shinsei.

It's a 35% polished Daiginjo class sake! If it's a Nakadori, it can cost close to 10,000 yen... but if it's a blend of Araduki and Tameshi, you can buy it for only 2,000 yen, so it's a huge bargain.
I don't know how to explain it, but it's hard to explain with such high specs. I'll try to give you a simple explanation.
The aroma is really a typical Hououmida ginjo aroma.
There is little miscellaneous taste, and sweetness and sourness are the center of the taste. Yes, it is sweet, but it is not too sweet.
It is said that Aradaruki has a rough and fresh taste, and Tameshi has a complex taste with a lot of miscellaneous flavors, but this sake doesn't have the Aradaruki taste, but it doesn't have the Tameshi taste.
I paired it with garland chrysanthemum with sesame paste, and the bitterness and freshness of the garland chrysanthemum harmonized with the freshness and sweetness of the sake, and it was delicious.
Personally, I think the second day is wonderful. The roughness is removed and the taste becomes muscat-like and easy to drink.
It's the kind of drink you'd rather have with everyone than alone! Oh, I'd love to bring it to a drinking party. It's the kind of sake that will surely bring a smile to your face. tkmtsHello, flos_lingua_est ❗️
I completely agree with your thoughts on day 2🤝.
I even regretted going ahead with the cup on the first day😓.
Day 3 was just as calm and beautiful as day 2✨. flos_lingua_est
Good evening, tkmt!
I'm a little more confident in my palate now that you seem to have the same opinion! LOL!
I also often regret drinking too much on the first day, so this was a good lesson for me again 😂.

The nose is surprisingly mild, with a hint of alcohol and a so-called "sake" flavor.
The aroma on the nose is refreshing, like white grapes. It has a slight apple taste. When the temperature rises a little, you can feel a banana-like flavor.
From the hiragana name and the appearance, you'd think it would be a sweet fruity sake, but contrary to the appearance, it's not that sweet! This may be because of the influence of the citrus acidity. The sweetness comes out when it reaches room temperature (although I think it has something to do with the lack of fizziness).
It's a dry sake, but it's juicy and has a good flavor that makes it worth drinking! Since it has conflicting characteristics, it seems that the range of people who like it is quite wide.
You can enjoy it on its own, but if you want to pair it with food, I think it goes well with Western-style food.
If you think it looks like something, it's Hanayo-yoku! I never imagined it would be this good of a drink, so I'm impressed!

The memorable 50th post is this one of Hououmida's made-to-order products!
This is the third time I've tried Hououmita, and it's been about three years since I've had it, but I've never been disappointed, which makes me wonder why I haven't had much of it before. When I went to the liquor store, it just happened to be right after the pre-order started, so I figured it was a good omen and pre-ordered it!
The upfront aroma is caproic acid plumping! The strength of this aroma is as expected of Hououmida!
When you take a sip, the apple-like aroma and fresh strawberry-like sweetness spreads quickly, and then fades away. There is almost no bitterness or acidity, and the sweetness is the core of the flavor. There is a review that says this elegant sweetness is similar to Kudokido.
What is even more characteristic is the soft and gentle mouthfeel, as if it were made by making a nishimoto with special attention to water. It is very light even though it is not low alcohol.
When it approaches room temperature, the harshness of the caproic acid becomes noticeable, and in a bad way, the contours become clearer, so the softness is ruined. It is best drunk cold. yutaExcuse my comment, congrats on 50 check-ins🎉.
I know what you mean. -')(. I know what you mean.
You can't go wrong with Hououmida! flos_lingua_est
yuta.
Thank you for your comment! I'm extremely happy because I thought no one would ever say anything to me! ✨
I can't haz~! I bought another Hououmida, so now I'm looking forward to it♪ Tenbi春の天美 純米吟醸 うすにごり 生原酒純米吟醸原酒生酒無濾過おりがらみ

I was curious about it but couldn't get my hands on it because it sold out so quickly, but I finally got it!
The nose is lightly perfumed. It's floral, peachy, but most of all it's muscat.
The top end is round and slightly sweet, just as I had imagined. However, there is a pleasant bitterness at the end, which is a good accent. There are times when this is noticeable and times when it is not felt at all, depending on the combination of food.
What happens when you mix the tailings... Actually, when you open the bottle, it is so vigorous that the stopper flies to the ceiling (for the first time in my life!). This is the first time in my life!
It's not that cloudy, but it tastes so different! This is my favorite type! However, as time goes by, the fizzy feeling fades and the taste quickly approaches the top clear taste.
It's a little fruity, a little sweet, a little fragrant, but with characteristics that don't end there, it's no wonder it's so popular right now! こぞうThere is no such thing as an average good sake except.
I'd like to taste this kind of liquor ♪
Even if it has a fruity aroma, Muscat? Green apple? White peach? I like sake that makes me wonder.
I always end up drinking too much of it, though.
flos_lingua_est
Kozo-san.
A good average drink, that's exactly how I pictured it! This kind of sake is not kind to your liver because you drink too much of it, despite its mouthfeel lol.
It's the same with Senkou, isn't it!

It's been a few months since the shock of the last Snow Crescent I drank... and now it's time for this one.
A hint of muscat. A fresh and spicy sensation on the palate. The gentle sweet flavor stands out along with the juicy acidity, and there is not much bitterness.
Drink it cold, because the advantages are canceled out as it approaches room temperature.
If I had to compare it to other alcoholic beverages, I would say it is similar to Sogapellen. Therefore, if you were to compare it to a fruit, it would be something like white grapes. It is never an apple or a banana.
It can be drunk on its own, without any spikes, and is easy to understand for everyone! It's full of the "uniqueness" of Koyogiku that everyone loves. I drank too much of it because of the low alcohol content.
I still have some Sunburst left in the fridge, but it's low in alcohol and high in acidity, so I'll drink it when it gets a little hotter. MAJGood evening, flos_lingua_est! 😄
Anastasia still looks delicious... I want to drink it when I remember... 😋 Sunburst is perfect for the upcoming season, so I'm looking forward to this one too 😆. flos_lingua_est
Hi, MAJ!
I really enjoyed the low ale goodness up front...
I'm really looking forward to the Sunburst!
I'm also looking forward to the sake that's coming out this month♪ Senkinオーガニックナチュール 0 nigori生酛原酒生酒にごり酒 flos_lingua_est
It's similar to Sakeya Hachibei's Ginsei Nigori... and it's insanely good! This one has a low alcohol content of 13 degrees so you can drink it without getting bogged down.
Is it the aroma of grain? The aroma is different from the ginjo aroma. The taste is full of rice flavor, and it's really good! It's somewhat fruity, like grapey, but maybe I'm imagining it? It's not sweet, it's dry, but the alcohol doesn't feel that strong, so it's hard to feel it's dry.
The aroma is gentle, in contrast to the flashy snowman. But it does share the same outstanding flavor.
Sengori's Nigori is a wonderful sake that is not too sweet and can really be drunk endlessly. Senkinモダン仙禽 亀ノ尾 2020BY純米吟醸原酒生酒無濾過

I hadn't had it in 5 years, but it felt much drier and drier than I thought it would be because of the old image. It has a wine-like fruit acidity that makes it easy to drink, and it has an elegant apple taste. It also has peach and melon notes. There is a slight gassy feeling.
It is very soft and does not have a lot of clinging. This softness is not only due to the low alcohol content, but is also the result of solid ingredients and techniques. It is a beautiful sake with a dry taste and high aroma.
As it gets closer to room temperature, you can feel the banana taste and the umami taste, so I personally prefer not to drink it cold. In fact, as a sake that is clean and refreshing, but has a lot of umami, isn't its personality more pronounced at room temperature? However, in this way, it is like a classic Senkou.
The second day is the balance where you can easily feel the umami and banana-ness, and I prefer this.
But it's crazy juicy, sweet and sour... Senkou. It's very, very good, but the personality that makes it instantly recognizable as Senkou is fading... I'm asking for too much because I love Senkou so much. Things have changed since the old days, haven't they? The impermanence of all things. No, it's really very delicious.

Ten years have passed since the Great East Japan Earthquake. 10 years ago, it was meant as a recovery sake. This time, it was re-released with the desire to overcome the Corona disaster and from the perspective of the 10-year anniversary of the disaster. The sake was sold by reservation only, but I wondered what power was at work, and before I knew it, reservations had been closed.
It was almost a pleasure to meet you, Hitotakami. At the time when I drank it a few years ago, I only understood a little of this deliciousness of Hidakami, but now I can assure you that Hidakami is a wonderful sake.
The aroma is mildly banana. Like the aroma, the taste is also mild, but it has a delicious flavor and an incredibly soft and gentle touch.
What is this...this is an extraordinary product...so delicious that it makes me sigh. It is exactly what I mean when I say that it is easy to drink.
I should have reserved another bottle. The taste made me decide to try the regular product the next time I find it. It is a good idea to finish it within 3 days after opening. 赤兎馬I only drank Hidakami at an izakaya, so I only have the image of it being a little dry! flos_lingua_est

I had the same impression in the same situation, but as for this one, it had a mild aroma and a deep flavor, and it had a decent sweetness too (^^) 赤兎馬There's a pub I go to, and they go out of their way to stock me with alcohol I've never had! I didn't keep the bottle, so why don't you serve it to the other customers? I mean, serve it! Reduce it quickly! That's why I pay as I go! flos_lingua_est
Red Rabbit.
I love the idea of meeting new drinks through socializing!

I buy this series every year at the end of the year and the beginning of the new year, but this year (2020-2021) they have come up with a dry taste. People who like it sweet may not like it (lol). If you like sweet, you may be a little disappointed (laughs), but just wait until the taste hits you.
When you first taste it, there is a slight hint of the Senkou flavor, and that alone makes me personally happy to drink it. I wonder if this unique taste is due to the acidity unique to Senkou.
Isoamylic acid aroma, banana-like impression. There is a little bit of lees and some gas, so it may seem dry at first, but after a little while in the glass, the sweetness starts to show, and it becomes more like the usual first tank. If you like it sweet, give it a little time to sink in!
It was hard until the second or third day, but from the fourth day, the corners were removed and the flavor came out to show its true potential. This year, too, it was delicious. flos_lingua_est
It is fresh, gorgeous, refreshing and easy to drink without any peculiarities. It has more alcohol than Shiboritate. It's very difficult to know how to describe it, but in a word, it's delicious. It is a sweet sake, but its sweetness is very elegant. It has a good sweetness and sourness, with a slight bitterness afterwards. The best feature of this sake is that it is well balanced and not too assertive. It is like Hanaup.
After more than a week of drinking, the acidity disappears and it becomes a sweet sake with a pronounced sweetness. The image is like Igarashi's Naokumi or Ding. It goes well with chilled tomatoes and mayonnaise.

I opened this one to make it snow myself because it seems that it won't snow in Kanto this year.
This is it! It reminded me of a few years ago when I first fell in love with Senkou. The ease of drinking and the drinkability remind me of both the sharp Senkou of 2015-2016 and the more refined Senkou of today.
I drink this every year, and this year's Snowball is the best I've had in years! Honestly, there's a lot of individual variability and last year I felt it was too sweet or too dry, but what I had this year was a great balance, not too sweet and not too dry.
I wonder if this is isoamylic acid? It is characterized by an elegant melon-like, banana-like, pear-like fruity taste and just the right amount of sweetness and flavor, but the sweetness is actually not that much, and it quickly turns dry in the middle, making it an excellent product that will impress both amateurs and experts (I think lol).
Towards the end, when I mixed the tailings thoroughly, the taste of the rice was quite strong, and it also added a taste like sweet sake with strong alcohol. Mmmm, also delicious! LifLinSlightly fizzy.
It's sweet but crisp.
It also has umami.
Sake rice "Sakemusashi" of Saitama is used.
Preferred degree ★★☆☆☆☆ LifLinI bought it after asking the shop owner for a sweet recommendation.
I haven't had Oze no Yukidoke since Roseno Yukidoke at the end of last year.
Looking forward to drink it! LifLinIn a word, sweet lol.
Some people may find it too sweet, but I like the sweetness. The sweetness of the rice.
I enjoyed it.
Degree of preference: ★★★★☆ flos_lingua_est
I was convinced that this would sell out quickly. First of all, it has no peculiarity and is easy to drink. It has a fresh, moderately gorgeous and refreshing acidity, and the umami and bitterness are not too overpowering, but very "moderate". It's a well-balanced sake that I'm looking forward to buying again next year. LifLinCrisp and dry.
Taste level ★★☆☆☆☆ RecommendedContentsSectionView.title
