drinking at home🏠
This is the black Machida I took home the night before.
(Kamito will be carried over to the next time...) 🙂.
It was a little gassy when opened, and when poured, it had fine bubbles.
When I poured it, it had fine bubbles. I'm not sure what to make of it 🫧.
The taste is well-balanced and you can't help but open it.
I had to save it so that I didn't open it too soon and end up drinking it.

Yarikai (Japanese spear squid) and sashimi.
The flavor is similar to that of Mimuro Sugi Hwakyun, which we drank a while ago, but it has a strong and robust taste.
It is a sake to be drunk slowly and carefully.
Postscript
On the second day, it was easier to drink without the gusto aftertaste!
Dangerous in a way😅
It was a clear, light and refreshing drink.
It went very well with boiled fish (strong flavored bean curd was a no-no).
I am looking forward to seeing what it will be like after a few days.
Machida Shuzo's 55 series.
100% Miyamanishiki from Nagano Prefecture is used,
Polishing ratio 55%.
It has a gaseous and effervescent taste, with just the right amount of sweetness and acidity. This series is really delicious no matter which one you drink.
Today's version is a nigori version of Machida's 😊.
Looking forward to it😋
Let's start with the standing aroma. Fresh sweet pear🍐 with some malted rice.
In the mouth, there is a fresh gasiness, a refreshing sweetness, and the umami of rice slowly spreading out, with a good bitterness at the end. It is more refreshing than expected. It has a stronger and rougher image than the Miyamanishiki straight kumi that we drank last time.
Next, we paired it with a kinchaku tamago (deep-fried egg). The broth-soaked deep-fried tofu and half-boiled egg brought out the umami of the sake even more, and the sweetness was reduced to a rich and thick flavor. Good as a food sake 👍😁.

I came home early today and had a drink 😆.
Let's start with the standing aroma. The aroma is sweet and fresh, reminiscent of green apples. In the mouth, there is a slight gasiness, a pleasant soft rice flavor, and a light sweetness that reminds me of fresh fruit, with a slight bitterness at the end. Overall, it is easy to drink and delicious😋.
With chica🐟. The combination of this light fish and sake makes it even sweeter and juicier👍

Good morning, Komacchan 😃.
If you get home early and Machida-san is here, so be it 🤗 Easy to drink and cosy👍.
Chica 🐟 is new to me but looks good as a side dish 😋.
nn❣️
Gentle rice taste gentle sweetness❣️❣️
I heard it was juicy like melon but it's a little different 😂 lol.
But it's delicious 🙌!
The aftertaste is slightly bitter and sour.
I've had it for a few days now and it's getting sweeter 😍😍.
The sweetness is more pronounced and the spiciness is more pronounced.
Surprisingly goes well with spicy hot bean paste eggplant 😋😋.
I left it for a few more days and it got sweeter 😲⤴️ and the spiciness almost disappeared 😲 It became sweeter to my taste!
In my opinion, it's better if you drink it slowly after a while 🙌

It is delicious this year, too.
I prefer it after about two weeks rather than on the first day.
It is gently sweet with a slight bitterness at the end.
Serve with flounder & cod roasted in foil.
I wanted to try this one too, but couldn't find a place to drink it and finally came across this brand.
I think it was much more refreshing, but I don't remember much about this one either lol.
