I've been unusually busy these days.
Yesterday, I worked at a client's place in Minato Mirai, and I really wanted to go home right away to prepare for the next job, but I needed to get some information from my colleagues, so we went out for a light meal.
But since I was here, I decided to have a drink at Hayaseura🍶.
The one I've never had before.
Clear, dry.
Kiri kiri?
Not too sour, I guess.
It was clear, I think 😆 (not concentrating on the sake? 😅)
Another one, Yamamoto Dodara.
Dry, this one has more acidity.
It also mellows out after a bit of drinking.
This day, I was sitting at the Robata-yaki counter, drinking (not for such a long time) while opening my computer 😅 sorry store owner 🙇.
I'll be back home in a little over an hour to work.
Good luck today 💪.
Kadoya Sake Shop September Hanpukai Sake
Mild ginjo aroma with a hint of green apple.
The clean mouthfeel is followed by a rich, mellow rice flavor and sweetness, and finishes pleasantly with a lingering acidity.
4.0
A clean, dry and delicious taste. I drank it with spice dishes. It is tasty but not too strong, so it is not overpowered by the spices and has a moderate reset feeling.
A bottle of combined sales
35% 17% alcohol
100% Sakahomare produced in Fukui Prefecture
Boxed sake, I was so excited as soon as I opened it!
And I thought it was a 4-pack bottle, but it was 500ml!
I've never seen that kind of bottle before.
Apple aroma, slight acidity.
Drinking it, the clarity is amazing.
But it has a strong umami, beautiful aftertaste!
Too good to drink for me... I want to enjoy drinking it!
Cold Sake
Sake that is crisp, with little sweetness and a lingering aftertaste, and not too much acidity, with a light dry taste.
When heated, it has more umami and a touch of sweetness.
Mellow and delicious!
Moderate aroma
Slight sweetness, no acidity
Aftertaste is chestnut-like, with a lingering chestnut-like, dusty aftertaste
The aftertaste is not dull.
Serve with heshiko
I thought the fishy smell of heshiko might stand out a little because of its good aroma. I thought it would be better to serve it with green onion to freshen it up.
Label says, “Yonagatsuki is another name for ‘Nagatsuki’ in the lunar calendar, and is a drink that evokes the image of a fine drink to be enjoyed leisurely on a long autumn night.” Still sauna like conditions tonight with the humidity. But this did make me feel like autumn will be soon.

I wanted to try some sake from Fukui and found a brand that is often introduced by a certain izakaya on Instagram. I wanted to try it immediately! Here we go!
The aroma is very mild, but the sweetness like persimmon and the fresh aroma like pear are pleasant. The very smooth and sweet brewing water is a pleasant marriage of bitterness and persimmon sweetness. A slight acidity also merges and fizzles out as it does. I think that only hiyaoroshi sake can have such a gentle sharpness and lingering flavor. I like this sake!
Polished rice 55
The color is very yellow. The aroma is sweet, but the alcohol content is low.
Mild attack, mildly sweet.
This is very strong...nothing changes even if you eat some snacks!
