As soon as I released the restraining seal the cap launched itself across the room with a loud POP!!
On its own, it is Tangy and faintly bitter the flavor reminds me of French Cidre Brut. Drinking it with sushi brings out a sweetness from this Ubusuna.
ChrisbrzThis Sake has an artisanal quality to it that reminds me of Kuheiji.

Initially the stickiness of this torai surrounds your tongue, it it fades to a faint licorice flavor with a slightly bitter finish.
Pretty good pairing with sashimi & 手巻き. Just okay with 中トロ, a little better with 帆立
Pairs well with a good 手作り豆腐
A great partner with salted pecans.

An intriguing Sake that is hard to stop drinking.
Medium heavy mouthfeel
Clean, easy to drink but has a lingering mildly bitter aftertaste.
Pairing with oily sushi it plays solid supporting role with faint caramel notes
Pairing with mild-flavored sushi brings out some melon flavor from this Sake
熊本県産米100%の日本酒を呑んだのは、初めてと思う。ちょうど他の米を使った一白水成と飲み比べてみたけれど、大きな違いを味わう。日本酒って深いんだなぁ。

九平次ワールドの始まり。良い意味で期待通り。なんだけど、どこかでパンチを期待してしまう。贅沢に悩みに酔いしれる。
For a Nigori it’s surprisingly Not so sweet. To me it has more of a nigami flavor.
Delicious!
I can’t believe we finished the bottle.
Like the sirens calling Odysseus
It has something that compels me to keep drinking it.
Truly Je-ne-sais-quoi

Bottled 2022/11
So we did a bit of 家熟, a year ago (2023/02) we bought two bottles of this. We drank one at the time and stored the second.
In our review last year, we said that it had a sharp spiciness and bitterness.
This bottle, a year later , is completely different. Smooth and mellow with just a mild tangy finish.
Interesting experiment, but I’m not sure that I can wait a year next time.

It’s really rare for us to buy a nigori or a can-Sake but we are Trying to challenge our Ginjo Junmai-snobbery. Normally I would dismiss can-Sake as a Shinkansen drink but we thought we could try this with dinner.
My wife says: 最初の1口からミルキーでとてもフルーティーな香りがするのみ進めると胸やけがしそうな位かなり強いお酒。リピは無いと思うけど、-17℃の極寒には良いかも。
ChrisbrzSharp alcohol flavor and fragrance. Sweet lingering finish. Surprisingly good.
ChrisbrzIt holds up well against the strong flavored leftovers (bean soup, 茶飯) we are eating tonight.

My first impression: slightly cloudy, mildly effervescent, citrusy yoghurt flavor. A little while later I could get the banana flavor that my wife was talking about. There’s a lot going on in this Sake. Very interesting.

Upon first sip a thin syrupy tanginess grips your tongue, let it linger and fade into a mild bitterness.
A good, sturdy, full-flavored Sake. But watch out, the alcohol sneaks up on you!
My wife says: 安定のどっしり感満載の日本酒。自分軸が出来てるお酒。何も言わなくても良い。

We were having a bit of fun for Valentines Day and picked up some Sake infused chocolates.
The Sake and dark chocolate is a good combo. Very tasty! Will definitely buy it again next year.

Thank you all for all the ❤️ hearts on my silly chocolate Sake entry.

Dryer and cleaner mouthfeel than #6.
My wife says it’s ちょっと酸っぱい, I think it’s a little tangy with a mild almond aftertaste.
Drinking it with sukiyaki brings out more umami and balance from the Sake.
This #7 has an interesting background flavor that I can’t put my finger on but it compels me to continue drinking it

Good balance of sweetness and tanginess. Not as dry as I expected but sturdy enough to hold its own against gyoza and チンジャオロース finishing with a lingering mild sweetness.

Distinctive alcohol fragrance
Full flavored with a clean tangy finish
Definitely can taste the wine lineage, reminds me of a dry Alsatian white wine.
A very interesting Sake!
We actually drank this a few days ago with sukiyaki and it matched perfectly! Today , It over powers sushi, however.
最初は違和感があった。日本酒だけど、飲み進めるうちにやっぱり日本酒だわって言う感じ。これは食材をかなり選ぶかな。

Tangy and crisp flavored. Matches well with sashimi and sushi but I could easily enjoy drinking this by itself. Very refreshing.
My wife says:
最初の1口目は甘くすぎるかなぁと思ったけれど、これは飲み進めていくうちにとてもニュートラルみたいな笑どっちにもつく。脂っこい食べ物にも合うし、シンプルにさっぱりした食材にも合うかなぁと思った。結構オールマイティーな日本酒かなと思いました。

Hi everyone, sorry we were sick with the dreaded C-word so we had to take a break from alcohol for a few weeks.
Seems like we still have not recovered our sense of taste,. sadly, this is really affecting our tasting notes so maybe we have to wait a little longer to enjoy Sake’ subtleties.
In our current state, the only thing I can taste is Tangy and bitter, it overwhelms sushi. It’s matching better with Brie cheese and minced Katsu.
ChrisbrzWe will try again next week.
Have a Happy New Year! Everyone

Some bitterness but also some sweetness and umami. It’s delicious! Please try it.
My wife says:
芳醇な香りから始まって、一瞬だけちょっとみかんを思わせるような味わいもあって、その後口に含むとかなりしわしわとした感覚があって、この日本酒が生きてるって言う感じがする

This was fun. A 900ml bottle for less than ¥800, that’s a “can’t say No price “. Definitely a win-win situation.
Otokoyama’s Year End Blend 2023. So I guess every bottle will have a different flavor. Our bottle was well balanced, not too sweet, not too bitter, not too dry. I guess that’s to be expected in a blend.
It was good but maybe not exciting or spectacular or distinct. Paired nicely with Kamo Niku Nabe (Duck Stew).

Soft mouthfeel, fruity but not sweet . Smooth and elegant this is a great Sake to drink after dinner.
Of course, we drank it with dinner too!
