Timeline
flos_lingua_estI drank the 4th bottle of Senkori Snowman during the winter period, and I really wanted to drink the bottle in the summer after letting it sit this long! Finally, the bottle was opened!
It has the mouthfeel of a fire-aged muddy sake, with no particular fizziness. However, when you drink it, it has a moderate ripeness with a freshness that shows the goodness of fresh ripeness.
It is not sweet and sour. It is rather an easy-drinking dry sake, and compared to its initial release, it is more classical and has begun to show its true colors.
It is becoming more settled day by day, and is at its best from the third day to a week or so, making it super tasty!
Immediately after release, it was fun and dry with a citrusy and strong fizzy taste, but after six months, there is no fizziness, and I was surprised to see it become a proper dry sake with a banana taste, not citrusy! So this is how Yukidaruma originally tasted! 
flos_lingua_estI haven't done sparklers in years. I haven't done actual sparklers for years, but I think it's been six or seven years since I did sparklers with sake. I think I drank it at a time when SENKOUGOU had been stripped down and I didn't like its taste very much. I used to like it until a year before that.
The aroma is infused with an acidity that you can imagine the direction of the flavor from the aroma. I would like to know the name of this type of acidity today.
First impression is "sourness"! And from there, it is refreshing, like a spud. There is no imbalance caused by a weak umami, which is common in low-alcohol sakes with this kind of acidity! As the manager said, the umami taste also swells up later on, just as the flavor is well expressed. No, it was more like "gushing out" than "expanding," and there was a surprising feeling of something that should not have been there!
This feeling of "sizzling" is similar to the feeling of being impressed by sparklers that can pop so beautifully.
If you handle it roughly, you will not be able to enjoy the true flavor of the sake, and if you drink it in a gulp, you will not be able to appreciate its quality.
I feel sad that this summer is coming to an end. 
flos_lingua_estI liked it so much last year when we compared different tanks that I bought another bottle this year! But one of the tanks was already sold out, so I only got one bottle..!
To sum it up, I think that the 13% alcohol content and Abe are not a good match... The standard 14% alcohol content is also a good match, but it's hard to say which one is better!
When I opened the bottle, it blew out so much that I had a hard time opening it.
It was a problem because it was not screw corked, it was capped.
It's that energetic and refreshing on the palate, perfect for summer! I think this is a spring sake though lol!
You can almost drink it as if it were a cloudy sake because there is a lot of tailings.
It is a well-balanced sake with an easy-to-understand sweetness, umami, and acidity that is delicious from start to finish.
However, it is also surprisingly good with food. It is easy to drink and the sweetness is kept to a moderate level, so it goes surprisingly well with Japanese style food. I tried it with Tempura and Tororo Soba, and it tasted great with both without any sense of discomfort.
It has a bitter taste, but I feel that it compensates for the lack of food, and the acidity and umami taste serve as a bridge between the food and the bitter taste.
This year's version is also very tasty! I am very impressed! ジェイ&ノビィGood evening, flos_lingua_est 😃.
Abechan💚 is an impressive taste 🥹I'm afraid to open it though 😅I'd like to drink a bottle every year👍. flos_lingua_estGood evening Jay & Nobby 🌙
I'm so impressed this year that I don't think there's anyone who doesn't like 💚Abe-chan!
I didn't gush like this last year lol.
Let's look forward to next year's release: ☺️ 
flos_lingua_estFor some reason, I have the urge to drink Sawanoi on a regular basis, but this is the second bottle I've had this year, and it's a bottle!
It's been a while since I've had an alcoholic sake. I was a bit nervous because some of them have a strong pungent taste that I don't like. However, I made a quick decision because it was Sawanoi and it was a muddy sake.
The sake was corked without gas and had been on the market for quite a while, so it didn't have much of a sizzle.
Also, the impression is the same no matter what kind of sake cup you use: trumpet-shaped ceramic, wine glass, or inokuchi (cup for pouring sake). LOL!
However, the impression is completely different depending on whether you drink it by itself or with food. To be honest, the alcohol and pungency are too much for me to drink by itself.
On a cloudy day in July, I paired it with spicy miso kimchi nabe after cooling down the room with the air conditioner on, and the sourness and umami of the two flavors seemed to come to the surface clearly, and yet the boundary between the two seemed to blend together, making it the most delicious! I even felt sweetness. Aruzoe is best when paired with a meal!
Still, 2,420 yen for this taste is a very reasonable price, and it is a good sake that can stand up to a full bottle! 
flos_lingua_estThis is my favorite Abeno PB. There are other PB stores that also have PB, but I prefer Ozaki Shoten. LOL!
The alcohol content is "11"! I haven't had this level of low-alcohol sake in a long time, but I'm sure I'll finish it in no time.
The aroma is like...Niimasa...lol!
And when you drink it... it also looks like Shinsei.
Isn't this what they were aiming for?
It's like lemonade with a gentle sourness, or sweet and sour like apricots, or sour like a spud... so you can drink it in large gulps.
Anyway, it is light-bodied and can be enjoyed on its own. It goes well with light Italian snacks and salads. For Japanese cuisine, I think it goes well with gently seasoned dishes with bonito broth, such as soba noodles, ohitashi with dried bonito flakes on top, and yam.
If I were to talk about personal preference, I would like to drink it with orikarami or light nigori.
If you want a light sake with acidity, but can't get it, and you can get to Higashiyamato City, I think this is the perfect sake for you. 
flos_lingua_estKaze no Mori is always delicious, so I tend to go through with it, but if I don't buy it when I notice it, I won't drink it forever, so this is the first time I've had Akitsuho..!
It has nuances of green banana and young melon.
It tastes quite complex, and at first I thought it might be sweet and sour, but then the acidity takes over and it turns dry. It is very tasty even when the temperature rises because you don't feel it from the second day!
Also, a strong bitterness comes out at the end. Overall, this sake has a strong flavor and a dizzying development, so I guess people who like this can't stand it.
Surprisingly, it is not sweet, so it is more suited for eating than on its own. One drawback of low-pasteurization is that it feels rough because of its complexity, but it doesn't bother me much when I drink it with a meal. It is rather super tasty!
To summarize my personal recommendation, if you chill it properly, you will not feel the complexity as a cloying taste, and if you drink it with a meal, the roughness of the low-purity will become milder, making it very tasty! I think I'll have the 657 next time I'm in the market. 
flos_lingua_estI have been drinking Nigorizumi for the past 4 years. I also like Yamashiroya's hi-ire sake, but its light aroma and the fact that you have to sharpen your mind when drinking it make it a bit more difficult, so I tend to rely on Nigori-nagashi, which I can drink without thinking. It is one of the sakes that I have been repeating for years, just like Abeno Ipponshime, Senkou's Hatsutan Nakadori, and Yukidaruma.
It has almost no aroma. It has a complex aroma when you drink it, and the citrus and herbal overtones are refreshing and pleasant. It was released in spring, but I think it would be a good sake for summer.
It is not sweet, but the umami of the rice is quite strong and has a decent flavor! I really like it. It has a softness and is definitely tastier than last year!
I was surprised to see the melon aroma peeking out on the third day! Is this really Yamashiya?
As a food wine, it cuts through the harshness and is powerful, making it a perfect match for meat dishes, spicy food, and Chinese food! I'd like to pair it with hot bean curd and spare ribs!
After the Kushira Nigori and Mutsu Hachisen Doburokku, which are both nigori sake, I was surprised to find that they are very similar but have different personalities and tastes! 
flos_lingua_estI knew the name, but is it good? No. Is it my favorite? I was hesitant and last year they sold out quickly, so I thought I would give it a try this year when I saw it. The manager says it's delicious too!
I was thinking about when I would drink it, but the capacity of the fridge is limited and the moment I open the door, gosh...pshaw! If this happens, I'll open the bottle the same day I bought it lol lol!
Aside from the fact that it's already spewing because I dropped it, it's crazy hard to open this thing!
I was surprised by the aroma, which is my favorite cemedine-type aroma, which is not very Hakusen-like... I was even more surprised when I put it in the bottle! Is this Hakusen? Isn't this a cephalosperm like a cephalosperm? I was baffled by the fact that it is iso-ish and my favorite strain! LOL!
When you drink it, it is refreshing with active-like acidity and carbonation, but also has a strong nigori-like flavor. It's sweet and sour and fizzy, perfect for summer! It goes down smoothly without thinking!
After the second day, it has a dry, dry taste and is very powerful, making it a sake that is popular with sake lovers. I was so impressed that I will definitely try it again next year..! ジェイ&ノビィHi flos_lingua_est 😃
Summer dubu rocks 🎸 are good 😋.
And when it blows up, it's time to drink 😄 we'll be there next year too 🤗 flos_lingua_estHi Jay & Nobby!
I've been skeptical and sold out and couldn't buy it until now, but I didn't know it was this good 😳✨.
When it blows up is when it's ready to drink... good word for it lol 😆. Eikun特別純米 袋吊しずく特別純米生詰酒袋吊り 
flos_lingua_estThis is a limited edition of the standard "Tokujun", which is a limited edition of a bag suspension and "Shizuku-kakuri" (drop harvesting). I was very curious about it right after its release and was about to ask the manager about it when he made the first move and said, "This is delicious.
I was wondering what kind of sake to drink after Kangiku because of its high quality, but this time, I decided to serve this one with high expectations.
What a great aroma! I love it so much! The melon fruit aroma is strong, and the magic ink aroma reminds me of alcohol. I'm sure I'll love it when I drink it!
When I took a sip of it...it's still melon!
If the sweetness was more upfront, it would probably be Yubari melon, but the sweetness is moderate, which is like the Andes in a good way!
The coexistence of the two is ambivalent and interesting: soft for a special junmai and strong for a pouch-hung sake.
The umami is not too forward, nor is it the type where the acidity shines through. While leaning toward the classical style, the melon aroma and the modest but present sweetness give the sake a modern impression.
It is a completely different type of sake from the one I had just before, so I am glad that I cannot compare the two. I might buy it again next time if it is on sale..! Seiko武の井 STAR GAIZER純米吟醸生酒無濾過 
flos_lingua_estI am going to have a second bottle of STAR GAIZER, which I drank around March this year, this time in May!
To be honest, the first bottle was a bit disappointing considering the quality of last year's wine, but the second bottle was as good as I expected!
It is simply sweet, tasty, acidic, and very delicious. The second bottle was just as delicious as expected! Some sensitivities may make it seem bran-y at worst, but for me, I think it turned out to be a good thing. That is why I would rather have people drink this sake during a meal than on its own. I think it goes well with fish dishes. Miso-nimono, saikyo-yaki, fish dishes with salted malted rice.
Even after the second, third, or fourth day, it tastes good all the time without losing its advantages! I like the balance of sweetness, but not too sweet.
Stargazer has been a very impressive sake this year as well! アラジンGood evening, flos_lingua_est 😃.
STAR GAIZER, the etiquettes are stylish and I love Hitogokochi sake so I would like to try it 🤤.
I wonder if the short aging of 5 months has given it a nice flavor 🤔. flos_lingua_estMr. Aladdin
Good evening 🌙
It's stylish, isn't it? I just want to go to Yamanashi to see this starry sky lol.
I love Hitogokochi too ☺️
Perhaps a little riper this year would have given it a better sake quality 💡. 
flos_lingua_estARANAMI is the most popular new sake in Abeno.
I wonder if the ease with which the rice melts is proportional to the ease with which the flavor comes out. I had heard that all the breweries had trouble melting rice this year, so it was ARANAMI as it should be!
It may have been made drier, but the flavor came out just like Abe's, and it even tasted sweet and sour. I like this kind of sake, so I enjoyed it very much. The balance of sweetness, flavor, acidity, and bitterness is just right, and the fact that it does not have any harshness is a masterpiece. No matter which Abee I drink, the corners are always removed.
It tastes great on its own, so you can drink it all the time. It is the type of ama-ami acid that leaves you with an empty sake cup before you know it.
However, because it has a calmness, it is also outstandingly delicious when drunk with a meal! We had a Japanese-style hot pot despite it being over 30 degrees Celsius at the end of May, and I wonder if it goes well with soy sauce or salt. Well, not hot...but a good match.
It seems to have been one of the best abe I've had recently. I think I'll buy another bottle. I was impressed! 
flos_lingua_estI've been wanting to drink Sawanoi once in a while, but I haven't been able to get my hands on it, so I bought it this time for the first time in a while. This time, I bought it for the first time in a long time!
The aroma is like a less acidic version of Shinmasa, and you can tell that it's made from wood.
I drank it with a meal without thinking about it, but it tastes so good!
I thought it might be sweet for a moment, but it soon merged with umami, and the umami, astringency, and bitterness were all well felt. If you think the umami and astringency are long, you can taste the bitterness at the end for quite a long time. I can feel melon somewhere.
It is a quiet and calm food wine. It is completely classical. However, there is a slight aroma of wooden vats, which gives it a Shinsei feel, and there is a firm acidity that is typical of the sake brewing process, which gives it a sense of newness and modernity.
It was an interesting sake that could be said to be Sawanoi-like in a good way and unlike Sawanoi in a good way, as it was easy to drink and not too harsh for its 17% alcohol content!
On the fourth day, the melon flavor was stronger...! It is also very tasty! It went well with the Yamanashi's specialty, chicken stew! 
flos_lingua_estIt has been a while since I have had Wakakoma, but I have a relatively high drinking rate of Ihyakumangoku. I like this one the best. I noticed that the color of the package has changed from brown (chestnut) to yellow. I wonder if they changed the color of the package to yellow because of the banana aroma.
It is very juicy on the first day! I don't remember the fizz, sake, alcohol, and pungency being this strong. The aroma is quite stimulating, and the sake is messy and fun in a good way.
The bitterness is characteristic of this sake, and it starts to appear in the middle of the first half of the bottle. Combined with the acidity, it is like grapefruit.
The taste is similar to that of a dry nigorizumi with a strong flavor. It is like the active muddiness of the moon after the rain...
The second day, it becomes a little milder... After the third day, the goodness of the flirting disappears and the harshness of the alcohol becomes more noticeable...
The banana aroma this time did not remind me of fruit, but was similar to the so-called "magic ink" aroma with a strong alcohol taste.
It was good until the second day, but after that, I felt the taste was a bit harsh, as if I had failed in every food I matched it with - but it was really delicious! Seiko武の井 STAR GAIZER純米吟醸生酒無濾過 
flos_lingua_estI was so impressed with the obvious taste of STAR GAIZER last year that I got carried away and bought two bottles this year!
The clarity is amazing! So clear that you can feel the stars and the starry void in the night sky. There is a unique richness from it and the first day it was ...... honestly not very tasty! LOL!
But from the second day, STAR GAIZER is in its element and very tasty!
The sweetness is moderate, but there is a sourness and a delicious flavor, and it is delicious without any cloying taste!
I remember that it was very tasty on its own last year, but this time it is also good on its own! But I thought it was clearly better with a meal! Maybe it's because this year's sake is stronger than last year's.
If you ask me what it goes well with, I can't think of anything, but I think it would go well with Western food, light Italian food, and snacks that don't contain much oil. If it is Japanese, it went well with nabe (hot pot)! 
flos_lingua_estI have had a little Mutsu Hassen, but Mutsu Otokoyama is completely new to me! A while ago, I had the impression that Mutsu Hassen lost all its flavor after the second day, but recently it has been able to keep its flavor quite well. What do you think of Mutsu Otokoyama?
The aroma is a botanical scent similar to that of grass or earth, but only slightly. But when you take a sip, you will be surprised! It has a gorgeous capsule-like aroma similar to that of Mutsu Hassen! I don't think I've ever experienced such an aroma with such a strong standing aroma!
The taste is definitely less sweet, but has a good umami. The taste is certainly not too sweet, but it has a good umami flavor, and yet it has a gorgeous overtone.
It is dry, but popular, like a "Sanjyo," "EXILE," or "Ishihara Gundan"? Something like that.
I don't know if the aroma has calmed down or if the taste has mellowed, but it is easier to drink and tastes even better from the second day!
It's definitely dry, this one! It has a gorgeous ginjo aroma and a sharp dry taste! This is the kind of delicious sake that goes down so smoothly that you find yourself drinking it all up. ジェイ&ノビィGood evening, flos_lingua_est 😃.
I've never had Mutsu Otokoyama 🥲, but I'm intrigued by the popular dry third generation 😁, the sharp and dry 😍I'll bring it to you when I see it 🤗. flos_lingua_estHi Jay & Nobby!
This was a strange sake, it was gorgeous but dry at the same time!
If you like both elements, you might like it, by all means ✨. Senkinオーガニックナチュール 2024 (0.0:ドブロク)生酛原酒生酒にごり酒発泡 
flos_lingua_estI was surprised to hear that Sentori is releasing a dobrokku. It is a cloudy sake named "dobrokku", right? Natur nigori was available until last year, and this sake is the successor to it.
It is quite effervescent. The stimulation is very pleasant on the palate and makes it feel fresh.
It is sweet and sour, but it has a nice sharpness, and the sweetness quickly turns into a delicious flavor, which disappears rather quickly. And because it has little bitterness, it is easy to drink for everyone.
From the moment you drink it to the end, it develops very quickly. Various tastes come and go at once. It's like Splash Mountain starting a little before the waterfall.
In a sense, this is the culmination of the past few years of Senkou, isn't it? ジェイ&ノビィHi flos_lingua_est 😃
It is indeed more like a nigori sake than a dobrok 😊 I see, a culmination! I look forward to seeing the evolution of this one 🤗 アラジンHi flos_lingua_est 😃
Since it's labeled as seishu, it's a muddy sake because it's made from unrefined sake 🤔.
I don't think there's any legal problem with sake calling itself "doburoku", but it's confusing 😅. flos_lingua_estGood evening, Jay & Nobby!
I honestly was quite surprised because I couldn't even imagine what it tasted like!
Really! I hope it tastes even better in the future 😊✨ flos_lingua_estGood evening, Aladdin!
It is written as Seishu (clear sake) and also Nigori (nigori sake), so I am sure it is correct! It's a little confusing, but I love nigori-zake, so it was no problem for me lol ☺️ RecommendedContentsSectionView.title
