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 😄.

I got this sake at an antenna store in Shiga. The grapefruit-like acidity and bitterness was so summery that I quickly emptied it out. The cover was cool too, and it was Junmai Dry Taste!

One cup with Oda Nobunaga label (I guessed it was Nobunaga from the way he is drinking sake while wearing only his kimono and standing on a gourd.) Oda in Omi? No way, is it Akechi? But personally, I like Nagamasa Asai. There are many other splendid members such as Hashiba of Nagahama, Ii of Hikone, Akechi of Sakamoto, Ishida of Sawayama, and so on. Omi Province is amazing!

I ran out of sake in the fridge 🙀🙀. So I bought some at the local supermarket. Polishing ratio 60 Alcohol 15.5 Mild aroma The sweetness and umami taste is typical of sake, but the acidity makes it easy to drink. The spiciness comes at the end to tighten the taste. When served with yuzu-flavored grilled mackerel sushi, it has a strong flavor on its own, but it is easy to drink while still tasting the rice. I felt the taste was refreshing! It is good during a meal!

Hi Pon, hello here too ☀☀☀. ［I thought it was "asabu nama" but it's "asabu wo", which I don't think I can read at first glance💦. This kind of size is very useful when you want to drink a little 😁.

Good evening, Pon. 😊 My refrigerator is out of stock 😫 story. I often do that, but you too, Pon-chan? 😍. I was under the impression that there was an infinite amount of stock I had an image of it. （I was imagining it to be endless like Tsubu's 😫.

Thank you so much for your time here, Hanapin 😊. We have a limit of 4 bottles so I always keep a small one for insurance but nothing is available 😂I enjoy going to buy them but I want to reduce the frequency considering the transportation cost and I want a fridge💦.

Good evening, Takubon-san 🦉. I've never heard of "flehma" 😳I'm going to use it from now on😊. I looked in the fridge for something cold to drink right away, but all I could find were asakayas 💦There are a lot of asakayas in Otsu...

Hi Marue 🐦. It looks like white wine on the inside and the gap between the label and the wine is surprising 😆.
