Tasake after a long time.
Akita Sake Komachi. The label is simple and elegant: gold letters on a white background. The contrast with the green bottle is also nice.
The taste is royal. The aroma is elegant. The flavor is smooth and robust without being harsh or angular. The slight bitterness that makes it sharp is not my favorite, but I didn't mind that much because the overall quality of the sake is beautiful.
It is a kijoshu with low alcohol content, and even at 12%, it is very drinkable, with the fullness of kijoshu and a lingering aftertaste. But it is fresh.
It has a mysterious and delicious taste. I don't know how or when to drink it, but it seems to be very satisfying no matter when you drink it.
Yoshida u's kinjo-shu is different from other kijo-shu I have had. I recommend it.
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. 🙇🏻♂️🙇🏻♂️

Changed to one bottle of Aizan this time😊.
After the pressure of yesterday's work, I have Kangiku San as a proof of my trust 😊.
I could think of doing my best again from tomorrow. I'm still greedily looking for more wins ✨.
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.

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 😀.

This is the newest one, except for the recipe that has been carefully prepared since a certain master brewer left the company 😊.
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 😊.

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 😋.

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.
