Monsoon with an attractive label. Somehow I have the impression that Tamakae is not my favorite, but I bought it because sake really varies and I can't decide what I like or dislike based on a little experience. It is more refreshing than the previous Monsoon I drank. It's not as cloudy, so it's less kijoshu-like, but I personally prefer it. It has none of the bitterness or old dryness that I have come to associate with Tamakae. I guess the taste of sake can be completely different depending on what characteristics of the rice are brought out and how and where the sake is made. Monsoon is a sake I would like to drink regularly.

Junmai Daiginjo Monochrome, one of the limited series. (It's a matter of personal taste.) The taste is very clear and gorgeous. The taste is very clear and gorgeous. The fine sweetness stands out and the aftertaste is enjoyable. I love the taste, but I don't like the label. I think anything is fine as long as it tastes good, but the taste of sake is not the same every time, and I don't remember the details either. Even if I know it tastes good because it is Kangiku at the time, if there is another sake with a good label that I am interested in, I will buy that one. But when I drink it, I find that Kangiku is delicious.

The 🍶 opened on Sake Day was Akabu Shuzo's Kohaku. I have been curious about Akabu for some time 🍶 and this was the first time I had it. As usual, my impression of the 🍶 alone was that it had no smell, and on the palate it had a lychee-like sweetness with a slight sourness, followed by a rush of bitterness.🍶 The 🍶 was a little bitter, but it was not too sweet, and it was not too sweet. The sweetness seemed to increase as I turned the 🍶 in my mouth. Alcohol level: 13 degrees Celsius Rice polishing ratio: 50%. Opened on the 2nd day. It had transformed into a delicious 🍶 with a good balance of sweetness, sourness, bitterness and umami 🥰 and was very tasty. 🙇🏻‍♂️🙇🏻‍♂️

A test brew of Gagakuyo. The aroma is not so strong and lactic acidic. The mouthfeel is refreshing, but the taste is very drinkable. It is lactic acidic and dry. It is different from Sentori, It is different from Sentori, and is similar to Abeno Competitive's C. Since this is a test brew, I wonder if they will continue to refine the use of this yeast. In the world of sake, I wonder if the recent boom in the "sweet and refreshing" style of sake is giving way to a new boom in the "dry" style. This sake gave me such a feeling. I would like to enjoy the change after a few days.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Yajima Sake Shop 750/ ORIGARUMI NAMAZAKE 13 deg. Iwate Ginga 50% 2024.09 Not too dry. As it twirled on its lees, making you think it was muscat-like, it became more sweet and sour like a mandarin milk agar 😊. The stars shining in the autumn night sky were beautiful. After it rains, the air is so clear and great 😀.

It's a little bit spicy, but it's not bad at all 😊. I wonder if it's a product for Izakaya (Japanese style pubs). I wish they had a 4-pack bottle for easy drinking 😊.

Tokushima Kenaiyama 50% 2024.09 Yajima Shuten's Betsuatsurai, a raw sake that was also released last year 🍶This year it has been powered up and is now "Nakatori" 😊The price has remained the same, which is nice 😊. It has a pear and cherry taste on the first sip, and a mango and banana taste as the temperature rises 😊and a great clarity 😊. I heard that Yajima Sake Shop had prepared 1500 bottles but when I went there a week after the release, it was sold out😱I'm glad I pre-ordered 😊The recent popularity of Kangiku San is just too much 😊.

Sono Kangiku's Ken Aizan. Last year it was fire-aged, but this year we will have an unfiltered, raw version of a special order purchased from Yajima Sake Shop! It starts with a hint of grape aroma and a soft sweet flavor! The mouthfeel is smooth and light. As you continue to drink, the bitter and astringent taste and aroma gradually appear, and the last part has a lingering alu feeling and a tangy, spicy aftertaste. I am sure you will not be able to stop refilling and will empty the bottle as soon as possible 😋.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Yajima Sake Shop 720/ Active Sake 15%. Yamadanishiki from Hyogo Prefecture 50% 2024.08 Yeast used/M310 Sake degree/+0.7 Acidity/1.5 I felt the sweetness of the rice more than Watanobune. I personally think that this time's Sacred Sake is more like the previous Sake Mother Sake that I was expecting. I personally think it is because I was expecting a sake mother sake like the previous one.

Yamagata Sake Mirai 50% 2024.08 The refreshing sweetness and deliciousness of Sake Mirai is good for a body tired of flying after returning from a trip to Kyushu. It heals every part of your body 😊.

I preferred to drink it on the rocks myself😊.

The sake we chose for our commemorative 100th check-in was also from Kangiku 🍶. It had been in the fridge for almost a year! It smells like muscat, tastes fruity but not too sweet, and the bitterness at the end is just right! The taste is fruity but not too sweet, with just the right amount of bitterness at the end. I regretted that I should have drunk it right away. The rice used for this sake is Tokushima Prefecture's Kenaiyama, which is said to be the only rice used for Sharaku and this sake! Alcohol content: 15%. Polishing ratio: 50%. Rice: Tokushima Kenaiyama

Thank you, Manta 😊. It's really a strange thing about 🍶 isn't it? Normally, we tend to think that they are shipped when they are ready to drink, but there are some that are stored at room temperature and are ready to drink after 2 months. It's very deep 🤔.
