[Limited Brewing, unpasteurised, undiluted]
The 'Shiboritate', freshly brewed new sake, had an unusually soft and sweet character, but this R6BY 'Gohyakumangoku' is polished with a clean edge and, like last year, has a pleasant astringency that gives it a sharp and refreshing taste. This sake’s impression has changed considerably over the past five years. When you think of Niigata sake, it’s typically 'Tanrei Karakuchi,' the light and dry type made from Gohyakumangoku rice, but originally, Kakurei’s Gohyakumangoku was far from light and dry; it was rich and full-bodied. It seems to be gradually changing. Frankly speaking, this R6BY is Kakurei’s most favorable Gohyakumangoku so far.
Locally grown Gohyakumangoku 100%, rice polishing rate 50%, Junmai-ginjou. Unpasteurized, undiluted Nama-Genshu.

From Abekan Shuzo, the Junmai-ginjou "Gin no Iroha" has been released in a limited number of bottles. It is a soft and smooth sake, very characteristic of Abekan. The gentle sweetness of the rice, which is a distinctive feature of this rice variety 'Gin no Iroha', is also beautifully expressed. It is classic to pair sushi or sashimi with Abekan's sake. This Abekan 'Gin no Iroha', in particular, pairs well with sashimi made from white-fleshed fish such as madai (sea bream) or hirame (flounder). Rice polishing rate: 55%, Junmai-ginjou

[Unpasteurised, unfiltered, undiluted]
The latest "Jinseki Kougen" surprised us with its modern taste. Even the kimoto-brewed sake has evolved significantly in the 2020s! Although it is described as modernized, it differs from the light, fragrant, sweet, sour, and fruity trends that were popular a little while ago. The sake from Miwa-Shuzo is consistently dense and clear.
The rice, Hattan-Nishiki No.2, cultivated by rice farmers in Jinseki Kougen, was polished to 65% and brewed using kimoto methods without added yeast in wooden vats. The fresh sake is bottled without dilution, filtration, or pasteurization.
We also expected good ageing potential of Jinseki-Kougen since the beginning, and it's been well demonstrated. Please check R2BY, R3BY, R4BY and R5BY too.

[2024 Vintage / Art Label]
A sensational sake has arrived from Aoki Shuzou. Selected from the finest sake matured in a snow chamber, it is released under the name “Years Bottle.” Each year, a renowned Japanese artist is commissioned to create the label, and for the fifth edition, the 2024 Years Bottle label was designed by Higuchi Yuko.
Typically, this series features Omachi Junmai-daiginjo. The rice polishing ratio was 48% for the first three editions, but it was refined to 40% starting with the fourth edition. Undoubtedly, every year’s release is excellent, but the fifth edition, the 2024 Years Bottle, is truly exceptional. It is the first time we have encountered a sake that expresses Omachi in this direction and at this level.
*Aoki Shuzou's "Years Bottle" is the project for the coming 100 years, to aim to create a new value of Japanese culture by integration of Sake and Japanese modern art. Released once a year, and label will be drawn by Japanese artists.

Although labeled as a Ginjou-Shu, this sake has a rice polishing ratio of 40%, essentially making it a Daiginjou-Shu. It is made from locally grown Yamada-Nishiki and Kura-no-Hana. Shiki-no-Matsushima embodies the refined style of Abekan Shuozu, with a delicate fruity aroma, exceptional clarity, and a crisp yet soft texture. It is recommended for those seeking chicness in sake.

The Yamada-Nishiki from Tojo can be likened to Pinot Noir from the Chambertin Grand Cru in Burgundy. Not only does it possess exceptional aroma and flavor, but it also has great ageing potential. This 37 series does not indicate a brewing year (BY), and it is typically released after about three years of ageing in snow chamber. Even after its release, we can expect long-term ageing. This sake is made to order.

[Kimoto, Ambient yeast]
Over the past few years, Miwa Brewery has been carefully transitioning to Kimoto brewing and ambient yeast fermentation. Until now, they have only produced seasonal edition and experimental cuvées by Kimoto method, but they have finally converted their flagship - Black Label Junmai-Ginjou to Kimoto brewing. Although it is not stated on the label, no yeast is added. We think Miwa Brewery is quite fortunate. This is because they have achieved such a beautiful finish using their own ambient yeast. The ‘refreshing flavour and rice umami’ of Shinrai is wonderfully embodied. The sharp aftertaste, a trademark of the Black Label’s neat style, has also leveled up. For those who have been drinking the Jinseki-Kougen series and recent Summer Kimoto-Junmai, this release may be a milestone-like that clearly illustrates the history of the Kimoto project so far and the intentions of the Toji, Mr. Miwa.
