My eldest son went home this week and we had a gorgeous dinner party✨We went to the riverside for day camping at noon...but it started raining ☔️ 10 minutes after we arrived and we had to leave immediately😭The ingredients we bought were today's snacks 😊Camping at home✨.
Enoki's what-a-scallop, black wagyu beef sukiyaki, salt grilled fall fish, beef tongue salt, turnip steak, etc. ‼️
The snacks are full! Now, let's open a bottle of this one! The lesson of our family, no hassle with special junmai: ‼️
The first attack is always the same, and it complements the snacks 👍Delicious Delicious Delicious Delicious 😋.
Purchased at Sumino Sake Shop in Nagata-ku, Kobe City, Hyogo Prefecture.
It has a pleasantly soft sweetness and a gentle yet deep flavor. A sake to be savored long into the autumn evening. It may be best as a food sake.
Sake from Misato Town, Akita Prefecture
Rice: 100% Yamadanishiki
Rice polishing ratio: 60

A perfect match with rice dishes.
🍶 A little tangy on the tongue, with a clean taste. I thought the label was fireworks, but it was chestnuts. So, we are starting a chestnut label series 🌰 to continue the fireworks pattern collection.

I had a big event scheduled outdoors today, but unfortunately it rained and I had to postpone it until next week. ☂️
I've been working all day long, but I've only been working in a whimper because I've been so focused on today 😅. I couldn't control my motivation very well 😅.
On a day like this, when it feels hot and humid because of the rain, I'm drinking summer sake ❣️ with a spring water label 😆 Cool label is cute💕!
I sipped it and said "Yum! The aroma is just right and slightly sweet. The aroma has just the right spread and is slightly sweet, and the fresh crispness is nice too❤️Total, it's a beautifully balanced sake❤️
I sometimes have that experience when I drink sake where I say it tastes good within seconds, but this one makes me grin afterwards 😊.
Good morning, Wakata 😃.
I'm sure it's a bummer to be all excited ‼️enki~... 😩 Let's gradually raise the tension again 😩.
It's a blissful moment when you are eating your fill of umamari 😋 and then smiling 😁. ☺️
Hi Jay & Nobby 😃Gosh, that's exactly how it was 🥲It's postponed to this Friday, but another typhoon 🌀I don't know when 😅I'll drown myself in alcohol every time I get there👍
It's freshly opened, so it has a schwatty feel to it. ‼️
The modest fruity feeling on the rise quickly disappears and the bitterness comes in 😋.
The bitterness lasts for a long time.
◎Misato Town, Akita Prefecture, Japan. It is 100% Yamada-Nishiki.
It is an easy-drinking sake with a touch of acidity and seems to go well with both Japanese and Western cuisine.
Sake rice: Misato Nishiki
It is a straightforward expression: "Spring is here 🌸". It is calm, soft, and gentle.
Marriage with salmon roe and rice! A treat 😋!
"Haruka" is a sake brewery located at the foot of the Ou Mountains in the interior of Akita Prefecture. The brewery places great importance on brewing sake using the high-quality, soft local water originating from the melting snow in this mountain range. This is the only sake in the Haruka lineup brewed with Akita's native "Rokugo" yeast, and we hope you will enjoy the rich flavors of Misato and Rokugo."

Harugasumi Junmai
Harukasumi Green Label
Harukasumi White Label
From Kuribayashi Sake Brewery in Akita Prefecture. Light as water and soft as spring, the overall impression is light and I think it would be great as an aperitif. It doesn't have a huge impact on the palate, but strangely, I remembered the green label the whole time. There was a famous label called NEXT FIVE or something, and the smooth texture was definitely good. Without any prior knowledge, I felt like I was doing a blind test with my eyes.
The first day the bottle is opened, it is slightly spicy and hard, with a pleasant slight piquancy. On the second or third day, the sweetness gradually increases, and the slight piquancy is still there. Overall, there are no peculiarities, and the rice flavor is sufficient.

Sake from Akita
Harukasumi also released Rokugo Higashine, but both are made from Misato Nishiki, and the difference between them is the rice paddies.
The sake and acidity levels are almost the same, so I chose this one because of its pink label.
It was a delicious sake with a well-balanced, mellow flavor.
It would have been nice to compare them!
