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 ☺️ Senkinさくら OHANAMI生酒無濾過おりがらみにごり酒 のんだくれI had missed out on buying Senkori Sakura, but found it at Ozaki Shoten!
There was also a Sakura Blizzard, but I chose this one.
The cherry blossoms are reported to be in full bloom, but it is still too early to tell.
It seemed like it was just the beginning around Lake Tama and the Beruna Dome.
The feeling of the drink is ahhh definitely 🍶.
It's so spicy ✨.
It's already spring! abe純米吟醸 仕込ロットvol.6純米吟醸生酒おりがらみ 
flos_lingua_estAbeno's new sake season is upon us, and following on from the Junmai we had the other day, this time it's Junmai Ginjo! Following the Junmai we had the other day, this time it is Junmai Ginjo, born in October 2023 and shipped in November...so vol. 6, they have been making raw sake for quite a while now, lol!
The aroma reminds me of lactic acid and ama-amai acid, which I like. And the fact that it is not excessive is wonderful!
Immediately after taking a sip, it has a lactic acidity, then a juicy sourness, and a hint of banana. The flavor is full, the umami expands at once, then the citrus-like bitterness fades away, and finally the sweetness gently peeks out and disappears.
Abeno Jungin Nama is really high quality! Because it is so easy to drink, one might think it was sweet, but as usual, the sweetness is kept in check by the acidity, giving it a mid-palate feel. So it goes well with meals.
This time I paired it with kimchi nabe, and the acidity went great with the kimchi.
The fire-brewed version has a more subdued flavor and is more suitable for eating, but the draft version has the potential to be drunk on its own, making it the most versatile wine for any occasion. Tenmei中取り 閏号 山田錦 30% 純米大吟醸純米大吟醸生酒中取り 
flos_lingua_estThe middle of the leap issue that I couldn't drink 4 years ago. The hurdle has been raised because the Ara Seme was so good, but how about this one?
The nose has a gorgeous pineapple-type ginjo aroma. When you drink it, it has a gorgeous aroma similar to pineapple, peach, or melon, but there is more to it than aroma. ......What is this softness? You will be surprised at the softness of the mouthfeel, which is hard to reconcile with the gorgeousness of the aroma!
Many sake with such a gorgeous aroma have a harsh pungent taste or a bad smell behind the good aroma, but there is none of that!
It is sweet, but the acidity effectively suppresses it each time. It is sweet, but the acidity effectively suppresses it each time. It also has a juicy acidity that, combined with the aroma, makes it look gorgeous. If you dare to let it roll around in your mouth for a while, you will find bitter and pungent tastes, but even these are good accents.
When I first started drinking sake, I could only enjoy sweet and capsicum-type sakes that were not gorgeous, but my tastes have changed a lot since then. But now my tastes have changed a lot. This was a wonderful sake that reminded me of those days and that I could truly enjoy! abe純米 生 仕込ロットvol.3純米生酒おりがらみ 
flos_lingua_estReached 100 check-ins at one location~!
I guess I'm the only one who has done this since you guys don't check in to places very often...? LOL!
This record was achieved only because this is a store where I like to drink a lot of alcohol!
I will continue to use Ozaki Shoten from now on.
So it's "Abe" time!
I haven't seen Abe since the end of October. Oh, how I've missed you, Abe-chan! I'm so happy to see you again after so long, I'm about to cry lol.
You can enjoy the Abee-ness and the orikarami-style of the new sake with a sense of fizz and lactic acidity along with the acidity. Then comes a quite pungent acidity and a dry mouthfeel. After the sweetness and slight bitterness, the umami comes in as if replacing the sweetness, then the sweetness appears again, and finally the weak bitterness comes and goes.
The low alcohol content, the light mouthfeel, the lack of stinginess, the fruity acidity...well...isn't this...like Shinsei right after pouring? LOL!
The sweetness has a richness like brown sugar, and the aberrancy starts to appear in the middle, but I was surprised at first by the aroma that says it can do this much! さけランThat means you have purchased at least 100 bottles at one store! That's amazing!
Good evening f.l.e. & congratulations on your accomplishment ㊗️✨🎊 flos_lingua_estHello Sake Run ~ ☀️
Thank you! A mysterious feat(?) I'm happy though it's an accomplishment: ☺️
I think I'm able to buy 100 bottles at one store because the store treats me well & my taste buds are close to the manager's ✨. Tenmei荒セメ閏号 山田錦30% 純米大吟醸純米大吟醸原酒生酒荒走り責め無濾過おりがらみ 
flos_lingua_estI remember the last time I bought it because there was only one last bottle left... That was 4 years ago... It is only released in leap years, but it was really good and I had been waiting for it for a long time! The price has gone up since the last time I bought it, but it doesn't matter, I have to buy it!
The aroma is a gorgeous pineapple-like one with a lot of ethyl caproate. The aroma is the closest to that of otters among the recent ones I've had, and to be honest, I can't really tell the difference when I'm drunk lol.
Among the ones I drank before, Kahayo-yoku is also quite similar, so I am not confident that I would be able to guess the difference if I were offered three blind tasting.
However, it is characterized by the freshness that is typical of nama-shu and the richness derived from ogara-mi, which makes it seem even more gorgeous. As one would expect from such a high priced sake.
The mouthfeel is quite soft for such an aroma, and it is clear that the level of production and taste is different from those sake with a deceptive aroma. It is too easy to drink!
The freshness of the rough-run gives the sake a freshness and juiciness that is typical of this time of year. It is a very high quality sake with a profoundness that is typical of the blamed sake. RecommendedContentsSectionView.title
