I had many opportunities to meet with you this month.
Kawanakajima Genmai Special Honjozo
I love Kawanakajima Genmai and always enjoy their Junmai series, but this was my first time to try their Special Honjozo!
The Junmai series is very fruity, but the special honjozo has a refreshing taste without the sweetness!
In the past, I also had a ginjo-shu, which also had a refreshing taste!
Junmai series -> fruity
Aruzoe → light and dry
Even though they are from the same brewery and the same brand, we enjoyed very different tastes!
This is a Musical Instrument Masamune JAM SESSION, with a stylish label. I drank it without much prior information, but it had a slightly different dry taste like the Abeno test brew I had a while ago. It has a freshness and light sweetness, but also a sharpness that is a mixture of sourness and alcohol. Interesting.
The second and third days, the taste gradually becomes more familiar. The third day is the easiest to drink, and I personally like it, but in terms of character, I guess the first taste is what makes it unique.
clear and delicious sake
Aroma: Fruity, smooth attack. Taste: clear and delicious, light in the mouth. It goes in smoothly and is light and full-bodied.
It has a good mouthfeel, so you can drink as much as you want 🤣.
Long time no cargo tag sake. This is Sake Mirai.
It has a good alcohol content of 13 degrees.
I've had a lot of sake, and I've been saying, "Oh, but this is it after all. It tastes like what they say it tastes like.
My personal preference is the sweetness of the rice and the freshness of the drink. A slightly floral aroma with a clear taste. I like the feeling of a slight kick at the end with acidity or bitterness, but it is best if there is a coexistence of the feeling of wanting to drink more and the feeling that it would be a shame if you drank too much.
This is exactly one of the best.
Hello, sikamaru!
The sake Mirai Shiboritate by Kafuda-san looks delicious 🤤.
I had a bottle of the fresh sake last year, but now I want to try the Shiboritate 😋.
Hello, ma-ki-san!
It's hard to find a sake that I drank last year, but the specs have changed slightly, or the same rice and the same milling ratio is used in different places. It's a good enough excuse to buy one, though.
After a glass of Shinshu Kamerei at a corner bar.
The fruity taste of Yokoyama, which had been on my mind for a long time, filled me with anticipation even before I drank it, and it tasted delicious.
The aftertaste is also sharp and pungent.
Thank you very much.
A bottle of hi-ire sake we received at a kaku-uchi (corner shop).
It had a strong sake aroma and sweetness that made it easy to drink.
The umami that comes afterwards is also very good.
Thank you very much.
Shinshu Kamerei is still my favorite. Soft mouthfeel and fruity acidity. Delicious!
I couldn't tell the difference between the different rice varieties I drank before 🔰.
First Shinshu Kamerei
Very delicious!
As soon as you open the bottle, even before pouring, you can smell the gorgeous and beautiful aroma of apples!
The rich sweetness, balanced umami and acidity spread out.
The aftertaste is not heavy at all, but a slight astringency lingers pleasantly.
5.00
It is best to finish it as soon as possible after the bottle is opened.
Overall 10 (out of 10)
This sake is from a sake brewery on Iki Island, a remote island in Nagasaki.
I had the Yokoyama Goju last time and enjoyed it so much that I didn't hesitate to buy it when I found it in a drunken tour of Tokyo liquor stores after the Igarashi Sake Brewery's New Breed Festival.
According to the description
According to the description, it has a "fresh and fizzy taste characteristic of new sake, with a muscat aroma and a juicy, sweet taste of biting fruit on the palate.
The description goes on to say.
Delicious 😋.
A truly sharp, sweet and tasty type: ❣️
The rice flavor and slightly stronger sweetness, and the slight spiciness that rises at the same time as the rice flavor and sweetness, is responsible for the sharpness👍😋.
I hope to visit the brewery someday❣️
I had it chilled.
The aroma is as follows.
-Aroma: The aroma of rice 👍
-Aroma: Slightly spicy aroma that passes through the nose.

Delicious 💖Leisurely Sunday at home while listening to the sound of fireworks from a nearby theme park🥰The main dish was a hamburger steak as requested by ‼️Hamburgers are actually difficult to make, aren't they? But today it was a miracle success🎊Yokoyama banzai🙌Sweet and tasty👍😋.
Good evening shinsaku3 & Pekho 😃.
I haven't had it for almost 3 years since I drank it at the beginning of 2022😅I remember feeling it was too sweet back then 🤔I'll have to drink it again to see how I feel about the sharpness 😙🤗.
Good morning, Jay & Nobby 😃☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀.
I do think that the sweet type of sake will be the star of the show, but I have the impression that it has a little spiciness at the end and doesn't end up just being sweet 😃.
I would like to try other brands 🍶.
It's already that time of year again, and it's a traditional drink. I wonder how it will be this year.
Gorgeous pineapple and full-bodied rice aroma. Gorgeous! The gasiness is strong, but it tastes better after the gas is gone.
Perfect balance and intensity of sweetness and sourness. This is the electric chrysanthemum.
The sourness changes to a strong umami flavor, and the happy feeling continues.
At first, it was a little bit spicy, but after the gassy feeling went away, the umami came forward like crazy, and it was great. I want to buy another bottle, but the new sake just keeps coming out...
Today, my wife and kids are out, so I'm having a lazy drink at home by myself. I will have a glass of sake with sashimi.
The aroma is quite mild. Slightly citrusy. Slightly gassy.
Slight sweetness, clear acidity. Quite dry.
Fairly short aftertaste, and when you notice it, it's sharp.
I happened to be picking up some white sashimi, so it was the best match for this sake. No. 1 sake to drink at sushi restaurants.
I often drank dry sake in summer, so it has been a long time since I had ogara-mi...my face is smiling by itself. ☺️
It has a gorgeous aroma, a fizzy and bubbly feeling, and a juicy flavor that spreads in the mouth. It was as delicious as I expected.
