Yesterday I visited the "Japan's Most Beautiful Sake Prefecture Yamagata Fair," a sake tasting event in neighboring Yamagata.
This event features sake, craft beer, wine, and other sake products from breweries in Yamagata Prefecture.
I love Yamagata sake, I love Go Ariake, but I know very little about the rest, so it was great to meet all the new people.
Also, Yamagata's sweet potato stew is unbelievably delicious.
After the event, we went to Shikisai Ishikura, an izakaya that I had been curious about.
There were many brands to choose from, but I ordered the sake tasting set.
Of the three, the one on the right had a lower sake level than the one on the left.
The most delicious one was Fudoi no En.
It has a soft lactic acidity that is typical of a sake yeast yeast yeast, and the rice flavor is also there, but it finishes well.
It is a good sake with a good axis.
The owner also served us other rare brands that were not on the menu, and we stayed for about two hours while he drank a little at the end of the meal.
I am filled with gratitude for their hospitality to us travelers.
It was my first visit to Yamagata, and I quickly fell in love with this town.
Fumotoi. I bought this when I went back home. When I opened it, all ready to go, what was it? I was expecting to see a double layer. The color is clear or very light. The smell is light and the feeling in your mouth is also a bit watery for a moment! It is tangy and spicy, but it is easy to drink with a gentle touch on the tongue. I read that the alcohol content is 16% and the sake level is ➕2, so please drink it as soon as possible after opening the bottle, but after a second serving, it started to get sweet. Thank you Iburi Goko!
I wonder what kind of rice (🌾) Dewa Sanzan is.
Sweet and sour type fukui appeared.
Sake with a juicy sweet and sour taste has been sweeping the market for the past few years. We at FUKUI are also participating in the market, albeit belatedly.
It is a sake that combines the juiciness and freshness of white wine with the natural aroma of sake. Although the method of using white koji for shochu is widely used to produce acidity, this product uses only traditional sake koji.
To enjoy the juiciness and freshness that characterize this product, the logistics conditions are room temperature, but we ask that you keep it refrigerated as soon as possible after arrival.
Please chill it well and enjoy it with a glass cup. If you are concerned about acidity, please try a wine glass. The acidity will mellow and become more balanced.
Heating up the sake depends on your preference, but we recommend heating it up as much as possible. You will enjoy a sharp and powerful flavor that is hard to imagine when served chilled.
Sake of the Day
We heard it's a popular sake every year and decided to go for it!
As the name suggests, it is juicy!
Sweet and sour fruit flavor on the palate.
Fresh with a hint of elegance and tenderness😍.
I didn't mind the acidity, but if you are concerned about the sourness, drinking it in a wine glass will give it a more mellow taste!
I recommend drinking it well chilled!

The cherry blossoms have bloomed, but it is quite cold today and the cherry blossoms are surprised 👀👀🌸👀, aren't they?
My wife and I went walking to the Aeon to buy some fresh firefly squid. ...... It was a little expensive, but we got it for tonight's entrée.
Today's snacks were raw firefly squid, homemade gyoza, homemade u-no-hana, and garimayo chicken. ‼️
The first attack is gentle sweetness, and then it is clear and dry, and it is very smooth.
I like this feeling 😆I like this feeling. I paired it with firefly squid, which is also very special😵💫 firefly squid is delicious, so I wonder what kind of sake would go well with it❓But it is a delicious sake 😋.
