Lion's Village" is brewed by Matsuura Sake Brewery, a small sake brewery in Kaga, Ishikawa Prefecture. It is often mentioned by the author as the fateful sake that inspired Seiko Yamauchi, a sake master in her own right, to become a sake writer. It is said that the production of this sake had been drastically reduced for a while, but it seems to have overcome the hardships and is now available in Tokyo.
Junmai Ginjo Orizee is a collaboration sake with Meguro sake shop Isego Honten. It has a chameleon design based on the concept of changing color with food. It is a softly sweet, modern style, but the flavor is firm yet somehow very clear. I drank it with dinner and it was gone in a few days.
According to other reviews, the taste changes a lot after the bottle is opened, so it was the right decision to drink it right away.
⚫︎ Rice: Koji... Omachi, Kake... Yamadanishiki

Rare junmai ginjo from a sake brewery in Yamanaka Onsen, Ishikawa Prefecture. It is said that it is not often sold at wholesale stores.
It is a slightly sweet sake that goes well with both sashimi and Western food.
With the earthquake and heavy rain in the Noto region, I wondered if it would be a good idea to get drunk on sake, but I reminded myself that it is important to drink and eat in healthy places and contribute to the economy, even if only in a small way.
Let's work together, Japan🤝!
