Last weekend I was out of sake to go with oden, so I went to the local supermarket and bought a 300㎖ bottle for the sake. It has a sweet and refreshing taste. It's good at hiya, but it tastes even better when it's warmed up to human skin temperature to increase the sweetness. However, I thought it would be too clean to pair with oden. I chose this sake because I wanted to keep it light, but.... If I wanted to warm it up, I could have used a more robust Junmaishu or even Honjozo. I'm still learning💦.

On a trip to Shiga, I visited Hirai Shoten. The quaint appearance of the store and the display of products were a sight to behold. Today's bottle was the "Sake Brewer's 3003000 Year Old" (pictured left). The aroma is melon, apple, and pineapple, and the first sip is a punch. It has a mellow sweetness, but the acidity and bitterness make it crisp and refreshing. Delicious. Well, Shiga Prefecture was fun! I'm also looking forward to Kosetsu (I heard it's read as Fouche) on the right side of the photo 😄.

A tasting on a trip to Shiga. It cost just under 1,400 yen at Friend's Mart. Asakayousei impressed us with the junmai sake we drank in February. This time it is a junmai ginjo. It is delicious. ‼️ Sake from Omi is never a miss... The balance of fruitiness, umami and sweetness.... I can't get enough of it. It scores 100 points.

The same sticker as the one on the earlier Mishiroei, Omi's local dry sake select. A little more fruity than Miyoroe. A little more fruity than Miyoroe.

I bought it before for drinking iron. It's in a pet potel so it won't break 😁. It is indeed in the middle of winter, not in the middle of summer. I love it.

Hirai Shoten, located in the Hamamotsu shopping district, which we have visited several times. They also have a portable, sparkling, bottled muddy sake, which I haven't had for a long time!

I got this at an antenna store in Shiga! I just happened to be passing by and couldn't resist buying a few things when I remembered Hikone a year ago✨. When I opened the bottle, the aroma was of pears and green apples. The palate is moist, light and mineral. The astringent taste of green apple spreads immediately and stimulates the tongue, but then a juicy sweetness also emerges from it. While the astringent taste remains until the end, the acidity and spiciness that comes at the end of the bottle packs a powerful punch and makes it very satisfying to drink. However, the beautiful aftertaste that disappears quickly and smoothly is a good balance and deliciousness that can be called a sunny day after a storm, and it seems to be unintentionally addictive 😋. As I thought when I bought and drank it locally, each type has its own character on the label, which gives a sense of familiarity👍. Along with Nishikawa financier!

Last night in Tokyo On the way from the conference venue to Tokyo Station, I had dinner and wandered aimlessly on the way to my hotel, Hikonyan and Myakmyak were 😳 by Nihombashi station. It was an antenna store of Shiga, here in Shiga! I found Pon-chan while browsing in the store 🧐. I took it home with some sake 😊. First of all, cheers to Pon-chan 🍻🍺 with kumquat! Fruity and easy to drink! I can't get enough of it after taking a bath !!! After that, we had our first brand, Asakayousei! It is a cup sake, but it has a light sweetness that makes it easy to drink 😋. I was going to drink it in small sips, but it was empty in no time 🥰.
