Tenmei中取り 零号 稲穂黄金 2022-2023純米生酒中取りおりがらみ 
flos_lingua_est
This is the first new Tenmei sake in 3-4 years. Last year, I finally drank the No. 2, No. 3, and No. 5, so I wanted to drink the No. 0 again after a long time.
It has a sweetness that anyone can drink. It has a sweetness that anyone can drink. The citrus-like refreshing acidity is well balanced and if you don't control it, it will be gone from your glass in no time lol.
I think the citrusiness depends not only on the acidity but also on the bitterness that appears at the end.
It is the rice flavor that makes you want to bite down on it when you drink it by itself. The sweetness that you feel when chewing on it is also like the starch of the rice, then glucose (is that true? lol), and it seems that the sweetness of the rice has been strongly extracted while still being gentle. I think there are times when the border between umami and sweetness is hard to tell, but this sake is rather clear about that.
There are parts that are similar to Seisho Seishun and parts that are not, and this sake is "easy to understand and delicious" because it tastes clearer. This Zero in particular is usually sold out early in the year at this store, so it is thought to be a very popular pop flavor.
The description on the back label is exactly as it says, but please forgive me because it really is. The explanation on the back label is too good.

Akebono Shuzo is famous for Tenmei. I have drank all of their new sake series except for No. 4 (No. 4), and I knew they were all delicious. I was also very interested in this lifetime youth series. And it is a special junmai with many of my favorite sakes...my expectations are high.
The aroma is typical of sake from the Tohoku region, with a cappiness that I don't really like (lol). The new Tenmei sake series has a citrusy aroma, but this was different from that.
However, the taste is very nice after being sipped! The sweetness is not strong, and the umami slowly and moderately expands, but I really like the way it expands. This is so delicious...
The overall freshness of the wine is smooth without being violent. The aroma is less pronounced than Tenmei, perhaps because it is not unfiltered. I think this is the heart of this sake.
It is pungent and spicy, perhaps from the alcohol. You can feel that you are drinking sake, and the feeling that it finishes with bitterness is refreshing and highly satisfying.
It's nice to be able to drink something that tastes so good while having an aroma that I don't like (generally a very popular aroma)! I wonder what would have happened if this had been unfiltered, or if it had been a ginjo-shu. I would like to ask those who have had the ginjo-shu of a lifetime. abe純米吟醸 仕込ロットvol.1純米吟醸生酒おりがらみ

Until last year I was drinking the Star Series, the Plot Series, and other planned products and not the main Abe Series. I started drinking this Abe series in the middle of last year and it has now become my favorite to the point that I feel I should have had it earlier! Naturally, I am quite excited as this is my first time drinking the new Abé sake!
The aroma has a nice Abe-like acidity and rice-like flavor!
The acidity has a sharpness similar to that of the Shinmasa Blanco that I was drinking with it. It has a very dry impression combined with a sense of gas. On the other hand, if you don't mix the tailings, the gaseous feeling is suppressed and the mild sweet flavor stands out. Both are delicious.
Since it is a new sake, it is fresh and very lush, but it is not too violent, so it is very easy to drink!
The Junmai Hi-ire, which I usually drink, has a very rich flavor and can be drunk on its own without any problems, but compared to it, this sake is much more smooth and shows its potential when paired with a meal.
As the temperature rises, the Abé character comes to the fore, and you can taste the standard Junmai-like sweetness, but from the second day onwards, the melon-like sweetness also comes out, albeit a little more gradually.
Abé is always delicious...the best! flos_lingua_est
This is a special order product of Abe by Ozaki Shoten, who has nurtured the Abe brand since its birth. It seems that this is the once-hiked version of the "Abe x Ozaki (Nama)" that we drank before. I myself prefer once-hiked sake to nama-zake, so I am looking forward to seeing what this one will be like!
The first aroma is like a cider, and then you can taste the acidity. Then there is a banana-like alcoholiness. The aroma gives the impression of being both catchy and easy to drink, with a certain deliciousness that will make even the most seasoned drinker swoon.
When you taste it, it is as if that impression is directly reflected in the flavor. The juicy, fresh cider-like aroma and acidity make it easy to drink, and the banana-like sweetness and aroma are connected to the umami and give it a solid impression.
This is so good...! It has everyone's favorite elements. You can drink it all the time!
Personally, I think you can feel the goodness more when it is fire-aged than when it is fresh. Like Abe, it has a sweet, yet slightly darker flavor that goes well with meals.
I'll still have it in the store in May 2023, so I'll be back for more...

(We are continuing to review the warehouse releases, but this one was drunk last fall.)
Some years ago, I wanted to buy Wakakoma sake, so I looked for a store called Ozaki Shoten. I remember that I bought their Gohyakumangoku sake for a different year. It has been several years since I last bought and drank the sake that brought people together.
The sweetness is really banana-like and extremely delicious! Of course, it also has the deliciousness of sake, which I really like.
The "clear acidity" on the back label contributes to the deliciousness.
I think the banana-ness is also connected to the alcohol-ness, so if you are not used to drinking it, it may seem harsh. I highly recommend it to those who are used to it.
The bitterness that appears a little at the end appears and disappears like falling leaves blown by the autumn wind... If this had been drunk in summer, it might have been a sparkler, lol.
My tastes have changed after drinking many different kinds of sake, but even after a long time, it is still right in the middle of my tastes and is as great as ever! Eikun純米吟醸 紫の英君 無濾過生原酒 山田錦純米吟醸原酒生酒無濾過 
flos_lingua_est
I remember that this product was very tasty when it was released in winter as a new sake, so I bought it again and drank it again as an experiment to see how it would change after half a year had passed!
The grape-like nuance that I felt when I drank it right after its release is still there somewhere. The cemedine-like flavor is stronger and more pleasant on the nose than in the overtones. I think the floral notes that started out are a bit absent.
It has a characteristic sweetness similar to syrup. The umami is of course present, but the sweetness is more noticeable now because the acidity is less pronounced than it was during the new sake period.
However, it is not without acidity, which may lead to juiciness... It is indeed not as juicy as the release period, but it is still there.
It's better after about 5 minutes than right after pouring it in the glass... and more importantly, after the second day, it's more cohesive and far more enjoyable to drink.
The acidity is also present, and a banana-like quality comes out...it's so good that you wonder what the first day was all about! abeあべ 楽風舞 純米吟醸 タンクロット2純米吟醸生酒おりがらみ

Raku-fu-mai tank lot 1 and 2 were compared, and this is lot 2. The alcohol content is actually different from that of lot 1! It's so nice!
The aroma is the same as tank lot 1, banana and magic.
You can imagine the taste from the aroma: banana, which is typical of isoamyl acetate, and the sweetness of melon sherbet. The acidity tightens it up, so the sweetness quickly recedes and it's very sharp.
The difference from vol. 1 is that this one has a slightly stronger bitter aftertaste, which is its most distinctive feature.
While the overall impression is sweet, the fact that this sake actually has a strong umami flavor can be clearly seen when it is drunk after a sweet drink! It's a dry sake to be matched with a meal! It's a dry sake that goes well with food! I didn't really believe in it until now (laugh), but I can understand why it is labeled as a food sake.
It is an easy-drinking sake with an excellent balance of sweetness, flavor, and acidity, but there is a slight lightness to it, and the bitterness comes out at once at the end, giving you a sense of the strength of the sake.
I love both of them, similar yet different and delicious and fun! LOL! ポンちゃんGood morning, flos_lingua_est: ☀️
I've never been able to experience such a valuable review 👍That's such a difference! I would like to drink the Abe more than anything else, although my preference is 1! flos_lingua_estPon.
Hi ☀️
To be honest, it's a minute difference lol.
But if I dare to say the difference, this is what I thought of your review...
I hope you will drink it even if you buy it on the web if you feel like it lol. ジェイ&ノビィGood evening, flos_lingua_est 😃
We have a bottle in our fridge 👍I saw on the label that it was lot 2 ❗️
I went to the liquor store on a business trip without lunch and got this bottle 😆 looking forward to drinking it 🤗. flos_lingua_est
Mr. Jay & Mr. Nobby
Hello ☀️
Did you have it? I see you were quite enthusiastic about your purchase lol.
I'm sure the taste is worth skipping lunch for, so enjoy! abe楽風舞 純米吟醸 タンクロット1純米吟醸生酒おりがらみ

This is the latest review, not a warehouse release!
This sake was delicious last year, but this year there is a different lot. The manager asked us to compare the two, so we decided to try them...!
The aroma is banana as usual. If I had to say more, I would say it has an alcoholic aroma.
The aroma is mellow and full-bodied, similar to that of bananas, and sweet and juicy like melon sherbet.
It's quintessential Abbey-like, with a well-balanced acidity that feels gentle but also tightens things up.
The bitterness in the aftertaste is not strong, so you feel the sweetness until the end, but that's Abe. It is more umami than sweetness. However, it is sweeter than Tank Lot 2. The sweetness comes out again at the end of the aftertaste and remains as a lingering aftertaste. However, the acidity also makes it crisp and refreshing, making it a great sake!
We were very satisfied with this sake last year, and this year's version is also one of the most enjoyable! It has both the mellowness that is typical of a 14% sake and a lightness that does not seem like a 14% sake, which is really surprising! 
flos_lingua_est
It's Hachibei, the sake shop where the food is always delicious. I have wanted to drink this Jugoya for many years, but the timing was not quite right and I could not drink it, but finally I had a chance!
The aroma is very mild, but there is a good smell of sake. Anyone know what this sensation is? It's like a very unique sake that tastes sober and delicious.
When you drink it... it is still very plain.
The umami spreads slowly, the pleasant bitterness gives it depth, and the acidity tightens it up in a dry, crisp manner, making it a "typical" sake.
The second day is more cohesive and the umami is beautiful and firm.
This is a humble sake, but I think the reason it has a moderately light and poppy taste is because it is not fire-aged, but freshly bottled.
This product is sometimes compared to "chestnuts," and if you imagine Amatsu ama chestnuts or marrons, you will be wrong, but you will agree that it has the simplicity and warmth of so-called roasted chestnuts (this is just a nuance).
It is delicious with food that makes the most of the flavors of the ingredients, such as grilled shiitake mushrooms. 
flos_lingua_est
The aroma is not strong, but there is something about it that reminds me of the freshness of direct pumping. It may be felt even more so when it is contained.
After the aroma, the umami flavor expands a little, and then it suddenly sharpens, leaving behind only a slight bitterness... It is quite dramatic... and even moving, as if it were giving us a taste of impermanence.
As usual, the sweetness is quite low, but the aroma makes it unusually easy to drink.
It has a pop flavor, which is typical of Yamashiroya. However, this is Yamashiroya. It is originally a clean, crisp sake with no sweetness. It is a beautiful sake with a cheerful aroma and a gorgeous light sake, which makes it quite an atmospheric product.
It is delicious even when drunk quickly and without thinking, and is a sake that many people would like to drink. It is a sake that many people would like to drink, and yet the more you drink it, the more intrigued you become.
I am a big supporter of this sake!

Forgot to post (2)
This is the first summer sake I've had after drinking only the Star series, becoming a sucker for the standard Junmai, and preferring the Abe series. The title is also "Summer Sake". What in the world does it taste like?
The first thing that comes to mind when you take a sip is the acidity. The acidity gives the sake a lightness in the mouthfeel. It is light when served cold, and as the temperature approaches room temperature, it becomes more and more refreshing and medium-bodied. The sweetness is only a little at the beginning and switches to umami and a little bitterness in the middle.
It is a typical summer sake when it is quite cold, but after 5 minutes it shows its face as a dining sake with a lot of umami in its lightness, just like Abe. Of course, it has the potential to be enjoyed on its own as well.
Even if it is not my favorite standard junmai, it is still delicious. It made me realize how much I like Abe.
To be honest, I like it so much that I can't find anything in particular to say about it, so on the contrary, I'm running out of words! There are so many things I want to say that I can't express them in words... Next up is the standard Jungin~!

It's been a while since I've been to Kaze no Mori. It's been on Sake-no-wa's recommendations for a long time, but I bought and drank it before. It was a few years ago.
I heard that "80% polished rice + No.7 yeast = 807".
Who doesn't like this sake? It's not soft, but it simply has a delicious flavor and lightness.
I guess it can be drunk lightly because the acidity can be tasted refreshingly all the way through from the time it is contained. As for the sweetness, it should have a certain amount, but it is well controlled by the acidity. The bitterness is a little bit at the end in a moderate way.
As the temperature rises, the acidity is slightly reduced and the sweetness and bitterness become stronger, but it is still refreshing.
Overall, the sake has a pleasant umami, spiciness, and aroma. The aroma and umami will appeal to everyone, and the spiciness will probably appeal to sake lovers as well.
Kaze no Mori has already been a very popular brand for many years, but as others have improved, Kaze no Mori has also improved its balance and level.
I felt that Kaze no Mori has become a sake that is simply delicious to drink, not something to be desired. こぞうMr. flos_lingua_est
Good evening.
Well, I was drawn in by reading your repo! I can feel how good Kaze no Mori is!
I've never seen Kaze no Mori before, so I'd like to taste it someday. flos_lingua_est
Hi, little boy.
Hello!
I've been in a writing slump for a long time, so I'm honored to hear you say that! ✨
I'm sure you'll enjoy the fruitiness and the slight fizziness of Kaze no Mori in general ☺️.

I couldn't drink this sake last year. The year before last it was my favorite sake, so much so that I bought it twice. This year I bought it so fast that it was already in our refrigerator the moment it went on sale.
It has a strong flavor with 17-18% alcohol by volume, which is a good thing in these days when elegant unfiltered sake is on the rise. Delicious, sweet, and acidic!
"In that sense," I think it's a very pop and tasty sake for a certain segment of the population!
However, don't drink it with other liquors because it is too strong. It is better to drink this drink last at least, because it makes it hard to taste.
You can float one ice on it if you like!
The moment you drink it, you will feel the acidity rushing in. The sweetness also comes in a big rush from the beginning.
It is sweet, but there is a pungency that may be derived from the alcohol, and the fact that it goes well with food is amazing! And it is delicious all the way through.
As the label says, it tastes more like a mix of various tastes in one flavor, rather than a succession of tastes coming together.
It is also interesting that the bitterness that comes at the end lingers a little, but basically disappears in a flash. ひるぺこGood evening, flos_lingua_est. After reading your review of Tamagawa's celebratory rice, I could feel your love for Tamagawa ^^ I personally regret that I haven't made my Tamagawa debut yet. I'll have to do it soon! flos_lingua_est
Ms. Day-Peco
Hello!
I've had some Tamagawa, but I think this celebratory rice is the most delicious.
I have the impression that there are many strong and robust sake. If you drink it, please review it.

Matsu Midori is a summer jun-dai that I drank last year.
As usual, I like it if it has a modest ginjo aroma. This one has a classy aroma, just as I expected.
After a series of light sakes such as Natsu no Hijiri (Sacred) and Mutsu Hachisen Wine Yeast, I enjoy a medium saké with a strong umami flavor. Easy to drink, yet very drinkable!
Regardless of my personal situation, this sake suddenly has a bitter taste. It is such a nice accent that even those who don't like bitterness may become okay with bitterness after this (really?). I'm so glad you like it!
Although it is a food sake, the sweetness, flavor, acidity, and bitterness come all at once, making it a very enjoyable sake that can also be drunk on its own.
The acidity is not strong, but it balances out the overall flavor!
It is crisp and refreshing like a summer sake, but it is not lacking in any way! So it's good on a hot day, or even on a day when it's raining and the heat has calmed down, it's an all-around warrior that will satisfy you!
Personally, when I opened it up, it was the best tasting saké I've had all summer! 
flos_lingua_est
Now, for my 50th memorable check-in at Ozaki Shoten, I was recommended Mutsu Hachisen, a sake I have never been very fond of!
The last time I drank Red Label, it was much easier to drink and much tastier than the previous one, so I tried it again to get rid of the image of being bad at it! LOL!
The color is a pale yellowish silver. I thought it would have less color, but it seems to have a moderate flavor.
The aroma is somewhat like that of white wine, perhaps due to the alcohol content, or perhaps due to the yeast. When cold, it is a crisp, smart, sweet and sour sake. As the temperature rises, the sweetness and umami are surprisingly robust, giving it more of a sake-like flavor than a wine-like flavor. But is it the acidity or the aroma that supports the overall balance that makes it seem like wine somewhere...
The smoothness of the mouthfeel makes it easy to drink. The lack of sticking points is a good sign of Hakusen's ability.
This wine sold out in no time last year. Using wine yeast, it is a round sake with a strong acidity, but with a sweetness and umami of rice. The fact that it does not feel like 13% in a good way also makes this sake special. 
flos_lingua_est
It appears that it secretly passed the 200 check without my knowledge 🤭 lol
This is the third year for me to drink this summer white chrysanthemum. So far, it has been sweet and sour, and just like the package design, it has been a very English sweet and sour wine, but what do you think this year?
The aroma is...what? Not at all! No harshness, no sweetness, no junmai ginjo ginjo aroma! I can't compare it to the summer Shirakiku I had until last year because I didn't pay attention to the top-drawer aroma, but anyway, it's interesting that there is no aroma.
When you drink it...it is literally really like water. From there, a citrus-like acidity emerges, and the sweet-amami flavor expands a bit and gets sharp. As the temperature approaches room temperature, the last bitterness and then the sweetness is felt from the beginning, but this too does not feel sticky and quickly disappears.
The low alcohol content of 13 degrees does not give it an alcoholic taste, and the bitterness is not felt to any great extent. This may be the reason why the overall feeling of the wine is less sticky and flows smoothly, just like water.
It has a sweet and sour taste, but this year it is more elegant than usual, and anyway, it is smooth. If you wonder what it resembles, it's Senkou Kabutomushi! Especially the second day, they look exactly alike! tomoさんHello, flos_lingua_est.
I know a store that sells Eikun, but I haven't been able to go there recently. This looks like a good drink for summer 😁.
You have already checked in over 200 times. Congratulations 🎉🎉! flos_lingua_est
Hi TOMO 😊
I've only had two kinds of Eikun, but they were both a big hit, so I hope you'll try them too!
I've been updating slowly lately, but I'm happy to finally hit the 200 mark! Thank you ✨☺️

There are so many delicious sake from Tochigi. Senkori, Hououmida, Ona, Wakakoma, Sagata... I've given Matsunotoshi as a gift, but never drank it, so I was looking forward to it!
It has a pale yellowish color.
The standing aroma is a slight ginjo aroma with alcohol. When you drink it, you can smell the ginjo aroma gently with alcohol as well.
The spreading umami flavor is quite firm. The acidity is also strong, which is probably why the sweetness is not felt very much. The acidity is just right for a well-balanced food sake.
It is not very plain. It is not the kind of sake that will make everyone say, "Matsunotoshi is the best," but if sake lovers drink it, they will say, "Oh, it's a good sake!
There is nothing sharp about it, but it is a sake that has a flavor and a modern, sophisticated image, and I would like to drink it again. It was just as the manager said.
It is similar to Shoryu Hourai's Kimoto Jungin, but smarter. Personally, I can't help but feel that it is a bit similar to Abeno Junmai. ジェイ&ノビィGood evening, flos_lingua_est 😃.
Thank you for your love of Tochigi sake 🥰.
You really have a lot of good sake 😊.
I think you're at 201 check-ins 😳
200 check-ins ㊗️㊗️ flos_lingua_est
Good evening, Jay & Nobby!
I love Tochigi sake so much! I'll be following your Tochigi sake from now on! 😋
Ah! I didn't realize it, but it's true! LOL!
Thanks for the congrats 😊✨ 
flos_lingua_est
I thought the alcohol was pink, but it's a pink bottle. lol Kawaii lol.
The aroma is mild and refreshing with a hint of grain. I think this is the kind of aroma I like the most after all!
Slightly bubbly, slightly energetic sensation. It is a little sweet when you take a sip. But then the sweetness suddenly disappears and the delicious rice flavor comes through!
I think the citrus-like acidity contributes to the dryness, but I think it is the freshness that contributes more.
The variety of tastes and acidity in a single cup is delicious, but like Yamashiroya, there are no unnecessary flavors, so it is a delicious sake that you will never get tired of drinking.
It is a combination of the best of both mellow and fresh sake... Why is the rice flavor so robust and yet not clingy? Why is it so crisp, yet you can feel the sake's deliciousness and drinkability? This is delicious! Oh, it's good! Even better than last year! Next year's will be even better!
It goes well with anything, but I personally feel like eating fried food when I drink a sake with a citrusy flavor. And when I actually try to pair it with something...both the sake and the fried food are delicious!
And personally, I think muddy sake goes well with mapo tofu as well... also delicious! ことりHi, flos_lingua_est, nice to meet you. ☺️ I feel familiar with flos_lingua_est's review "Kekkokyo" when I search for "Kyokko" hiragana.... ことりflos_lingua_est, this is sake🔰, but the review is very informative and easy to imagine. The brewer recommends a plate of fried tofu from Tochio or something like that 😋 at the sake store that puts Yamashiroya 😋 fried food and mapo tofu 👍🏻 flos_lingua_estMs. Kotori
Nice to meet you ☺️
Thanks for your comment ✨
I see! I see...you just happened to be in the search...lol!
I'm so glad you commented! flos_lingua_estKotori-san

Tochio fried tofu and mapo eggplant! That would definitely go well together, wouldn't it? I'm getting hungry just imagining it... lol

We compared almost all of the different lots of Abeno's standard junmai sake. According to prior information (according to the manager), vol. 3 has a strong taste (sweetness) and vol. 2 is dry.
On the first day, it was almost the same as vol.3 and I laughed. I thought there was no difference.
Vol.2 is the same as vol.3, the aroma is mild and there is a hint of alcohol, but you hardly feel it when you drink it.
The mouthfeel is the same as vol.3, and it is a combination of the best of both worlds. It has a lot of energy, but it is very cohesive.
The sweetness is balanced by a citrus-like acidity, making this a gem that allows you to enjoy the goodness of sake with a focus on umami.
...what's wrong with that, on the second day it's suddenly spicy! I was a little surprised at how it changed like a different sake in one day. But it's also delicious! Apart from the spiciness, it is light and dry like Shoryu Hourai, which I drank recently, but with a strong umami flavor.
I couldn't drink it on the third day, but on the fourth day, the sweetness was gusto, and this trend was the same on the fifth day.
I have to admit I liked the Abeno classic Junmai series too much! I bought more of both vol.2 and vol.3 since they were still on sale lol. ヒラッチョGood evening, flos_lingua_est 😊.
You have a different lot👍.
I was vol.3 last time and was impressed by the wonderfully good work.
I continue to look forward to this brewery. flos_lingua_est
Good evening, Mr. Hiraccio!
Of course, many of the parts are the same, even in different lots, but there are different nuances, so it's great to enjoy them!
I'm looking forward to seeing more of Abe in the future! 
flos_lingua_est
I thought it was a rare opportunity to try a junmai daiginjo, so I bought my favorite abe. It was a bit pricey as it looked luxurious, lol.
The color is quite easy to recognize, a pale yellow with silver tints.
The top aroma is a refined ginjo aroma. The ginjo aroma has finally become a little more acceptable recently. Of course, it is okay because it is such a good sake.
The aroma is a ginjo aroma that reminds me of melon sherbet, and the moment I take a sip... "It's delicious! It's so delicious and easy to understand that you can't help but say, "Delicious!
Immediately after drinking it, there is a tangy, puffy, or chili chili sensation. At this point, it is quite gorgeous.
The label says it is a food wine. Of course it is, but for me, I think it is also good to drink on its own, as it tends to be sweet rather than savory.
I think it would go well with salads with fruit, carpaccio, and antipasto dishes. The bitterness that appears at the end is a very nice accent and adds depth.
It is a gorgeous sake that is so drinkable that it is hard to believe that it is 14% alcohol, but it is a good sake that is very easy to drink, just like Abe. RecommendedContentsSectionView.title
