I got 2 bottles this year as well!
I was holding out to drink them after the weather got colder, but I couldn't hold out any longer and opened the bottle during November 😅.
Maybe because I kept it in the fridge for so long, it barely blew out✨.
The supernatant alone is delicious, and it's even better with the lees involved. Thank you for another year's feast!

コジコジ
I've been drinking a lot of Sono Kangiku lately. I found another one that looks delicious, so I picked it up.
Fruity aroma.
Mouthfeel is sweet yogurt and gassy.
The middle taste is sour like a grefleur.
Aftertaste is a sharp taste of bitterness.
Delicious. Mixing in the oli makes it even more yogurt-like.
It is indeed sweet overall, but it is a rich adult sweet taste there.
I could drink this all the time!

I bought it as a gift, but forgot to bring it with me on the day, so I had no choice but to drink it. It's extremely tasty.
I wonder if this is what they mean when they say that water goes well with it.
However, there was a slight mistake. I bought a Nosaku kataguchi to be somewhat stylish, but it was a no-no for me. The metal ions in the tin were supposed to increase the mellowness of the sake, but the bitter taste came out, the aroma was taken away, and the taste changed. I guess it depends on the sake, but I'm sorry 😢.
Japanese>English
よしお
Good evening, moby.
I also do not like tin cups.
It changes the taste.
Tin seems to soften the spiciness.
If you use it for sake that is too dry to drink, it will make it easier to drink.
Japanese>English
moby
Thanks for your comment!
Yes, it's true. Tin, it totally changed the taste, and it also left a residue on my tongue for a while that even the tempering water couldn't wash away 😭.
I will try it when it is too dry. Too bad 😢😢
Japanese>English
ヒロ
☀️
Is it less fragrant 🤔?
Still, solid carbonation 🫧.
Is it a refreshing taste like cider? I thought it would be, but it ended up having a solid flavor and a light sweetness, which is typical for a packaged sake 😊.

It has a dry taste that is typical of Houken.
I personally prefer a little more richness or umami flavor since it is an autumn harvest.

へろ８
I was attracted by the Hakutsuru Nishiki rice used to make this 🍶.
It smells slightly like melon 🍈.
Moderate sweetness and sourness, a bit of bitterness as you drink it and it finishes with a kick. ☺️
Very easy to drink and delicious 😊.
It is one of the 🍶 I want to repeat 🤗
Alcohol content: 16%.
Rice polishing ratio: 40
Rice: 100% Hakutsuru-Nishiki

へろ８
When opened, it has a fresh fruit aroma like fizzy and tangy melon🍈, and a smooth texture on the tongue. The soft umami without any hint of nastiness and the fresh and delicate acidity are beautifully followed by a slight moderate bitterness that finishes off the palate 😊.
All the Genzai are very tasty and easy to drink 🍶🥰.
Rice : 100% Aizu Fukunoka
Rice polishing ratio : 50%.
Sake degree : -4.0 to -6.0

I had a reason to go to Yajima TDL, so I thought it was a good opportunity to buy something with it, and I was interested in this one.
This sake is a blend of a 1+ year old junmai sake base, a 30+ year old junmai sake, and a 5+ year old aged junmai "afs" 🍶.
The aroma is a combination of soy sauce and brown sugar, reminding me of Mitarashi w. The mouthfeel has just a little bit of a tang, with caramel at the back of the moderate sweetness taste, but the flavor is completed by a delicious and refreshing acidity.
When I drank Daruma Masamune 3years ago, I found that Mitarashi went very well with it, so I tried pairing it with it, but it was too sour and not good enough 🤔.
On the second day, it became sweeter, so I tried again with mitarashi, the taste became lighter and it went well with it ✨it became easier to drink 😆I tried to pair it with ice cream, but it wasn't good 😅.
I read an article by a brewer and saw that it tastes good mixed with lactic acid and carbonated water, so I gave it a try! If you don't like old sake, this might be good for you ✨.
On the third day, I paired the lukewarm sake with cheesecake based on Pon-chan's review, which was also very in tune and delicious 🥰.
Japanese>English
ひなはなママ
Good evening, ichiro18😄.
This is another great 🫢 old sake blend that seems to have a lot of flavor.
After Ponchan's old sake, the pairing is also western ☺️ I can't imagine a calpis sour! Sounds interesting📝.
Japanese>English
ichiro18
Good evening, Hinahana mama 😃.
Old sake has a strong habit but once you get used to it, it's delicious ✨I found it to be very sour but it's easier to pair with sweetness 😍Calpis sour is delicious if it's sweet and the aroma is ok 😆.
Japanese>English
ポンちゃん
Good evening, ichiro18 🦉.
I see that the sake was from here! I'm surprised that even matured sake can change after a day 😳The result is a great match with mitarashi 👍 Like HinaHanaMama, the calpis sour is an eye-opener 😳.
Japanese>English
ichiro18
Good evening, Pon 😃
I thought on my own that old sake can be stored at room temperature in a dark place, but this sake was sold in a refrigerator 😳I searched for it and found that it is stored below 20 degrees Celsius, so I thought it must be delicate 🤣.
Japanese>English
ヒロ
Good morning, ichiro18 😃.
I'm enjoying reading your various pairings with old sake 😁.
The picture of you shaking hands 🤝 with a firm handshake 🤝 seems to imply the very pairing 😉.
Japanese>English
ichiro18
Good morning Hiro 😃.
It's an old sake so I couldn't gobble it up in a day so I took advantage of the time to give it a try 🥰You're right 👍It does look like a pairing suggestion 😳The idea is great 😊.
Japanese>English
ma-ki-
Good evening, ichiro18!
Is it an aged wine ⤴️
I still get the impression that it has quite a few quirks 😲.
I'm very interested in the way you drink it, the temperature changes, the pairing attempts, and the great sake activity 🤗.
Japanese>English
ichiro18
Good evening, ma-ki-😃.
I still feel the habit! Especially this brewery's signature brand Afs seems to have a strong acidity and this sake also had a noticeable sourness at first 🤔 The above pairing was good when it comes to sweetness 😃.
Japanese>English
Bose Kota
I have never had old sake. Is it sweet and sour? I have had old Shaoxing wine before.
Japanese>English
ichiro18
BoseKota, old wine has a strong aroma. It's similar to the aroma of Shaoxing wine if I've ever had it ✨and the mouthfeel is also very smooth and has a deeper taste 🤔.

Hello ichiro18 😃!
Oh! I see you went to Yajima TDL🤗.
Is it a blend of 30 years old sake 🙂 It's like a father and son sake 🍶 in terms of age!
Nice Mitarashi 🍡 challenge too👍.
Japanese>English
ichiro18
Hi Jay & Nobby 😃.
I haven't been to Yajima TDL in 6 months 😁.
I see! It's definitely an Oyako sake 👍 it's based on one year aging so it's not that peculiar but it was a delicious sake that goes well with Mitarashi 🥰.

コジコジ
The last of the Monday Sake Day was a bottle of Shinshu sake purchased at the Yajima Sake Shop🍶.
Yamazan Junmai Ginjyo Kinmon-Nishiki Gowari-Gobu Unrefined Unrefined
Aroma: Fruity
Mouthfeel: Mildly sweet with a touch of gas
Medium: Umami (slight sourness?)
Aftertaste: Pungent and sharp
This is my favorite type of wine! I can drink as much as I want!
I was on dinner duty today, and my wife and I paired it with Japanese dishes such as striped hokke, mushrooms with grated ponzu sauce, and vegetable miso soup, and we emptied a 4-gou bottle in no time 😄.
Preference score: 9.5/10
Aroma: 2.0｜Mouthfeel: 2.0｜Medium: 1.5｜Final taste: 2.0｜Price: 2.0
→If the middle taste was "slightly bitter" instead of "slightly sour", it would have received a perfect score!
