あまの
From the moment it is opened, it has a mellow, sweet, fruity aroma.
It has a slightly sour taste.
As soon as you taste it in your mouth, you feel the mild sweetness, then the sourness, then the alcohol, and then it disappears.

WAKAZETHE CLASSIC
Kumakichi
First time drinking "Wakaze THE CLASSIC" of French origin.
This junmai sake made with rice from Camarigues and brewed in France was a very light, low-alcohol bottle that was very easy to drink!
The first sip is characterized by strawberry-like sweetness and refreshing acidity, followed by a crisp and refreshing taste, probably due to the hard water in France.
This is a sake that divides opinion on both sides, but I think this is a good one!
However, at a little over 2,400 yen, I'm not sure it's a very good value for money...
However, I am glad that sake is spreading overseas more and more!
Alcohol content: 13 degrees Celsius
Rice polishing ratio: 92

A sake buddy (colleague) who often goes to Shinshu for snowboarding kept recommending Kurosawa Usunigori. The ranking is not that high, but no way! I found it at a liquor store in the ward ‼︎and it was inexpensive ‼︎I started with the No. 4 bottle for a trial.
It's a delicious ‼︎I really like the taste of the lactic acid type. I know it says the flavor changes over time, but I finished it in 2 days.
The taste for this price is too cosy for the ministry and I will definitely go back to buy more ministry.

My first Iwaki Kotobuki was served in the hanpukai. I think this is the first time for me to drink sake made from Koshihikari rice. It is a nigori sake with a fizzy, fruity, sweet, and tasty flavor, and I finished it in no time. It has no bitterness, which is often found in nigori sake, and is very tasty. It is perfect as an aperitif.

W Yamadanishiki Junmai from Watanabe Shuzo, a brewery I once visited in Hida.
Even though it is a junmai sake, the Yamada Nishiki is polished to 45%, giving it a rich sweet flavor with a great impact!
On the first day, the aroma was fresh, like apples, but on the second day, the sweetness and taste was like pears, and the acidity and umami were heavy!
Last time, I had a 35 Junmai Daiginjo, also from W, but the 45 was also a very tasty bottle!
Alcohol content: 17 degrees

The first Yui Yui was a limited edition sake from the hanpukai. I was told that the brewery is owned by a female toji, so I opened my mouth imagining a gentle sake like Amami or Genmai, but it was a very easy to drink, sweet and gentle sake. It was a very sweet and gentle sake that was easy to drink. I think I will be able to sleep well early on Sunday night.

When I was watching TV last night, I saw a special on the Shinsei Sake Brewery on E-television, so I pulled out the Shinsei from the refrigerator and compared them. I thought how hard it must be to brew sake rice without pesticides in a marginal village, but I was also fascinated by the beautiful scenery. I don't really follow Shinsei that much, but I love Yono-tori and capture it whenever I see it. I'd like to try a bottle of Yono-tori Spark once.

In Tokyo, the first snowfall in four years, below freezing...
On a chilly night, we opened a bottle of the last snowman of the year, which is perfect for the season!
The last time I drank it, I liked the taste, so I bought a bottle.
The first glass is the supernatant, and the second glass is mixed with the ori.
As always, this is a light beer with a great taste of rice.
If it were a four-pack bottle, I'd drink it in small sips, but I'm glad that with the one bottle, I can drink it all the time and not run out.
It's hard to buy a bottle of sake in a household refrigerator because of the storage problem, but this year I'd like to try my best to make my dream of buying a sake refrigerator that can store a bottle of sake come true.

This is the first Ryuriki at the Hanpukai Limited Sake. It seems to be the number one ranking sake brewery in Hyogo prefecture at Sake no Wa, so I'm grateful to have met them. It's a nigorizake with maximum gas pressure, so I chilled it very cold, but it took me about 10 minutes to open it! It's a muscat-flavored adult ramune, and it's very, very good. I'm looking forward to the Fukuhara Sake Shop's limited edition Hanpu-kai sake every month because it never fails to please me.

We will have another brand of Suidama from Ryonoseki Brewery, which is famous for Hanaup.
I've had my eye on this bottle made with Yamada Nishiki from Akita Prefecture for a long time, but when I happened to find a 4-pack, I bought it immediately!
Hanaup is characterized by its fruity and gorgeous taste, while Suidama is a gem with a gentle aroma and a delicious taste that spreads slowly in the mouth!
It's a magical sake that goes well with fish!
Alcohol content: 15 degrees

It's been a while since I've checked in, but I'm still buying and drinking sake at my own pace! I got a bottle of Saku 2021 Aizan, so I opened a bottle of Jikin Aizan to compare. Of the many Aizans I've drunk this year, the Zijima has a much drier taste, with a refreshing umami flavor that makes it easy to gulp down. I'm also looking forward to the nigori (๑˃̵ᴗ˂̵)

At long last, the long awaited shipment of this sake has begun!
Juburoku (doburoku) from Takeshige Honke Shuzo!
This doburoku is only shipped every year from the second half of October to March, and because it's unpasteurized and the yeast is still alive, it must not be placed horizontally in a PET bottle with a hole in the lid!
Just as it is described as sweet and sour Awaraku, this is a doburoku that overturns the concept of doburoku you've been drinking!
It was a fun bottle that had enough sweetness from the rice that when you grinded the remaining rice grains underneath, you could feel the slight foaming and pleasant acidity spreading.
Because of the low alcohol content, you can guzzle it down with a glass, so even if you have three bottles in your fridge, it probably won't last more than two weeks.
If you like sweet sake, muddled sake, or doburoku, this is a limited time bottle that you should definitely try!
Contents: 1440ml
Alcohol content: 5%.

It has a subtle hint of pear and citrus with a trinity of umami, acidity and bitterness.
A pleasant bitterness lingers on the tongue as an aftertaste.
Definitely kumquat-like!
Delicious!
I think it would be good to pair it with dark sweet dishes, whether Japanese or Western style.

We opened a bottle of Junmai Ginjo "Rz55 Kame-no-o" from Ryoseki Shuzo, which we always love to drink Hanaup.
The aroma and mouthfeel are of ripe fruit, like bananas. The aroma and mouthfeel are of ripe fruit, like a banana.
