The third bottle I purchased the other day is from the OCEAN99 series by Kangiku Meikozo, and this is the first time I have had it.
It will be a comparison with Matsuo Boast, which I drank the other day.
It has a sweet aroma like muscat.
It has a sweet aroma like muscat, with a little bit of gas and a refreshing sweetness that spreads in the mouth. The acidity is mild, but the silky bitterness of Kangiku-san finishes it off nicely.
On the second day, the gas is subtle, but the sweetness is stronger and the bitterness is lighter.
Matsuo's boast was juicier in sweetness, but this one was refreshingly clean and sweet.
When it gets hot, the fresh sweetness of this one is pleasant.
Good evening, ichiro18!
I like the comparison of Matsuo Boast and Kukai 🎵.
Kukai is good to drink when it is hot. ⤴️
I got it for the first time this year, so I'll try it on a hot day 😋.
Good morning, ma-ki-😄.
Thank you for your comment ✨.
By all means! I enjoyed the fresh sweetness so much that it was delicious when I opened my mouth 😁.
I saw a lot of Matsuo Pride at Sake-no-Wa and wanted to try it, so I bought it yesterday along with Kaze no Mori ALPHA6. It is sold at liquor stores in Chiba prefecture. By the way, Yajima Sake Brewery sells it online. The shipping cost is reasonable, but considering the transportation cost, it's worth it.
So, here's what I was expecting...
Melon-like sweet aroma
A hint of gas.
Quite strong juicy sweetness, mild acidity, and a firm bitterness with a clean finish.
I was satisfied with the flavor I was expecting ✨.
Good evening, ichiro18!
We got this one in Chiba too and had it a while ago 😋I couldn't resist 😅I'm going to buy it even at a liquor store far from here!
Good evening, Jay & Nobby!
I know what you mean... I also spent an hour and a half to buy a bottle of wine after having a hard time... but it's fun to go to different liquor stores and see different brands 🤩.
I visited Yajima Sake Shop, which I had often seen on their online store as well as my hobby of eating out (food logs). I reserved this Kaze no Mori in advance and was able to place a hold on it.
This is my first ALPHA6. The sake rice is Akitsuho produced in Tenri, Nara Prefecture. It is made with No. 6 yeast and white malted rice.
It has a melon? or banana-like aroma.
From the soft sweetness to the umami, the sharp and crisp acidity, it's so delicious!
Good morning, ichiro18!
ALPHA6 is delicious 😋.
I'm not a mid-pack drinker, but I had it for the first time last year and it was absolutely delicious 🎵.
I'd like to try the mid-pack one someday 😊.
Good morning, ma-ki-!
Thank you for your comment ✨
I didn't get to drink the ALPHA6 that was released in March, so I guess next year will be the year for me too 😆.
Immediately after opening the bottle, it was fruity, slightly bitter and sharp 🍶, but after 4 days, it became sweeter 🤗.
Personally, I prefer the taste right after opening the bottle 🥰.
Alcohol content: 16%.
Polishing ratio: 60
I visited a liquor store after reading about the arrival of a certain sake, but they did not have it in stock, and the mail order stock was still out of stock, so I was not sure if it had really arrived. I was not sure if it was really in stock or not, but I decided to buy the one that was not in stock.
When I opened the bottle, the lees started to dance and the wine was so sharp that I was afraid it would spill over. It was a little dry on the first day, but after the second day, it became juicy and very tasty. I would like to try a less cloudy Mimuro Cedar.
Good evening, freelancer 😃.
Congratulations on your first tank of Mimuro cedar ㊗️ with Hanaquin🫰 bought by proxy 🎉Check here it's just right 😋 and it's clear and tasty too 🤗.
Good evening, Jay & Nobby ^-^.
Thank you! This is a juicy, catchy, schwarzwaldy drink - if you like modernity, I'm sure you'll love it. I've seen some clear ones, too, so I'd like to give it a try.
In the mouth, it has a honey-like sweetness that is quickly overwhelmed by bitterness.
It is a delicious sake that is not too sweet and has a pleasant alcoholic taste.
Alcohol content: 15%.
Rice polishing ratio: 55
Rice: 100% Aizu rice from Fukushima Prefecture, Yumenokou

The clean, refreshing sweetness is refreshingly sweet, like pear🍐 or watermelon🍉.
As is typical for a draft sake, it occasionally tingles on the tongue.
The bitterness seeps out at the end, leaving you with a sigh of relief.
It is a fusion of the Kafuda-shu character and the Hachitan-Nishiki character, and I thought it had both of these characteristics.
Good morning, freelancer first generation man 😄Same timing as yours ❗️Packaged sake is delicious ❣️I've had many different versions and they are all in the expected range for packaged sake. Really, it's a safe sake to buy 🤗.
Maybe it's because I have hay fever🤧 and my throat is rough, but I can feel the sweet taste but very bitter 😭.
It is recommended to drink it right away, but I think I'll wait and see how it goes 😁.
Alcohol content: 15%.
Rice used: 100% Yamadanishiki from Kurodasou
Second day after opening the bottle
It was the usual delicious sake with moderate sweetness and moderate bitterness.
It seemed that my taste buds were out of order due to hay fever. 🙇♀️
It's a sake shop's bespoke sake 🍶.
Fruity and rich but not too sour 😄.
Last time I had it, I thought it had lost some of its acidity because I let it sit for a year, but I guess that wasn't the case 😅.
Still, it's a very tasty sake 🥰.
I would like to drink this sake again next year😍.
Alcohol content: 15
Sake degree: -7

My usual restaurant in Kashiwa was closed for delivery, so I decided to visit Yajima Sake Shop for the first time in a while. When I checked, it had been almost a year. It seems they have introduced a point application, but I don't come here often... Aside from that, I finally chose a bottle of kafuda sake, which had been on my mind for a long time. The label is too tasteful.
I was scared of what it would taste like, but when I took a sip, I was very satisfied with the acidity and umami that it had to make me drink it. It tasted fresh and light, but it was different from my own light. I would definitely like to try other specs of this brand.
Good evening, first generation freelancer 😃.
Congratulations on your first shipment bill 🏷️ sake ㊗️ 🎉
We haven't been drinking that much either 😅I had a short straw boat once that was very good 🤗.
I'm curious to know where is your usual place in Kashiwa 🤔
Good evening, Jay & Nobby!
I'm an amateur, so most of the sake is new to me. I had no idea about that sake rice, I'd love to try it!
My usual liquor store is the one I CI the most, though it is often closed...
It was more gassy than the snowman.
And last year I found the snowball more to my liking, but this year I found this one tastier lol.
It was so good I emptied it in one night😅.
