I made a quick change from the sake I was planning to make and went with Tsuru-sama's Nama-zake!
We had a variety of ingredients in the fridge today, so I made this dish to enjoy a variety of flavors 🥰.
The salad was our hydroponic lettuce, pork fillet cutlet, herb grilled kanpachi, boiled spinach with black vinegar, marinated carrots, and after this, brown rice fried rice. ❤️
I tried to combine saltiness, acidity, herb flavor, meat flavor, sweet vinegar, etc. little by little so as not to miss out on anything.
Well, when you have the experience of failure, it's hard to be aggressive, and it's like trying a few things at once, but they were all quite tasty and went well with the sake.
The dark green Mikotsuru-sama had a complex flavor this time. It had a good balance of sweetness, spiciness, and astringency, from perfectly chilled to a little closer to room temperature. ‼️ It has a slightly cider-like sweet aroma. But never sweet🤞.
Impressions of the drink on its own are in charge of shinsake3💕.
Good evening, Peckho😄Another great dinner tonight😍this is a great idea to pair with alcohol ❣️ Spinach soaked in black vinegar was a new idea👌Fried rice with meat on top and more butter🧈 on top for the finish? I want to try it 🤤.
Hi HinaHanaMama,good evening❤️I wanted a little sourness so I added soy sauce and maple syrup to the black vinegar and added it to the spinach‼️ I think it gives more depth than soy sauce alone😊The fried rice is made with all kinds of leftovers and topped with cream cheese at the end👍😋.
Good evening, Pekho 🦉.
It's hard to make a few of them and they're awesome and 👍✨I'm always just impressed 🥹The homemade lettuce looks delicious too ❣️ I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around how expensive vegetables are right now 😂.
Ponchan💓Good evening ‼️I love vegetable salads and want to eat heaps of them every day but they are expensive and hard to shop for💦I have no choice but to try hydroponics💪and I have a planter on my windowsill and harvest daily🥰Happy 🥗🙌I highly recommend it🌱
Overall 9 (out of 10)
According to the website
According to the website, "Kinmonnishiki is called a fantastic sake rice, and the resulting sake has a very complex flavor. The resulting sake has a very complex flavor and a fresh, fruity taste that can only be achieved by freshly pressed sake.
This is what they say 👍.
Delicious 😋.
The image of tangy, spicy, and sweetness coexisting 😋.
The description says "complex flavor."
I think I know what you mean😅.
I had it chilled.

Good evening Jay & Nobby 😃.
I feel the same way.
I think complex drinks are those that allow the drinker to change the way they drink depending on the conditions and explore the best conditions at any given time 🧐.
8/10
Gokotsuru Origara-mi, which was given to me.
As it is freshly pressed, it is quite fresh and you can enjoy the petit gas feeling.
The bitterness is rather robust and can be enjoyed on its own.
Not that it matters, but it seems that Japanese coffee has more bitterness and less acidity than coffee from other countries.
Someone has been considering the reason, and the simple fact is that Japanese people can enjoy bitterness.
I wonder if there is a part of that in sake as well.
Personal preference 3.9/5
Rice: Miyamanishiki, common rice
Rice Polishing Ratio: Koji 60%, Kake rice 70%.
Alcohol content 16
I bought this bottle when I visited Hata Sake Shop.
I went to Suwako in the summer but didn't buy it💦.
The label gives me a feeling of good luck🍀.
It is a junmai dry orikara-mi, but you don't feel the spiciness but rather a mild sweetness thanks to the orikara-mi, and you can taste a good acidity and gassiness, which gives it a fresh explosion 💥.
It's easy to drink with a gentle sweetness, similar to Senkou's ✨.
The next day, the freshness is about half gone and the dryness shows up, but it's also delicious!
Thank you for your hospitality 🙏🙏.
On a side note, when I opened the figurine at the beginning of the year, it was too big and there was no place to put it, so it was on top of the fridge...
For the time being, they will appear in the sake photos: 🙇🏻♀️
Good morning, Ofuji-san 🥹.
Sotheby's is cool 🥹.
I had my eyes on that one first: ❣️
I'm really interested in the image that you say is similar to Senkou 🤔I'd love to drink it 🍶.
Good morning Mr. Ofuji😊.
First time commenting 🙇.
This Mikotsuru label is so nice and the taste is also my favorite 👍 in the review.
This figure, nightingale is cool too 😁✨
Hi Ofuji 🐦.
It looks delicious ❣️ and the label is perfect for New Year - Risshun 👍I haven't seen it in Daimaru lately so I'm very jealous 😊.
I'm so happy about the figurine, I thought you took a picture with it 🤣.
Good evening, Mr. Ofuji 🌛.
If you ask me, the design of the crane and the sunrise is very auspicious ✨
［I was surprised at the size of the nightingale 🤣and it's so cool😁.
Is this the one from ROBOT soul?
Good evening, Mr. Muro.
I haven't seen Mikotsuru much either, but it's delicious 😋.
This is a nightingale! It's practically like a Sotheby's 😁I bought it because it's so cool ✨️
Good evening, Mr. Swissisun 🌛.
Thank you for your first comment 😊
I love unfiltered raw sake so much that I can say it's my friend 🎶.
The nightingale is cool, but it's just too big lol
Good evening, Yasube!
I was going to go to Kadoya-san but decided to go this way after seeing your comment about Christmas 🚗.
I'll buy Gokotsuru-san when I drop by again 🙋♂️
Good evening, Pon-chan 🌛.
I see they sell it at Daimaru too 🫢.
The label was very festive and perfect for the New Year: ㊗️
Did I give you away? I have that too 😁.
Hi Jive, good evening 🌛.
The label looked like a happy new year, yet it's delicious 🎶.
You know it well - it's the Robot Souls Shire Color one. ✌️ The red color is cool!
Huh?
The aroma is Muscat of Alexandria!
Drink the supernatant, mmmmmmmmmm!
Lees are entwined, not so cloudy.
The taste is not so different from the supernatant.
I think it was supposed to be the supernatant, but it was a little too choppy, so I think there was some lees involved...!
Anyway, this one tastes like muscat!
Muscat flavor!
It doesn't go well with ehomaki (lol), but yummy!

Slightly slightly carbonated, refreshingly fruity with a strawberry-like aroma, yet crisp and dry, with a slight bitterness at the end 🍶.
The crisp dryness seems to go well with oily fish🐟 (neutralization, wash).
Strawberry flavor would go well with mozzarella cheese 🧀, so it would go well with margarita pizza 🍕 or something else 🍶.
It was so sweet that it was no wonder it was labeled "sweet.
I was surprised that Nagano has such a sweet taste. However, it was not fruity and not my favorite sweetness.
On the way back from Yamanashi, I wanted to drink Mikotsuru after a long time.
I went straight to a liquor store in Suwa first thing in the morning!
I'll have a bottle of this one today!
Kuh~!
This slightly carbonated, fruity and
The spiciness is exquisite...
I drank it the same evening I got it, while we were out at home...
I drank it that evening...
What a waste!
This one was delicious too!

Mikotsuru Junmai Ginjo Yamadanishiki Unfiltered Unrefined Nama Sake
I compared all Mikotsuru's sake at the "Traveling SAKE" tasting, and I knew that my favorite was Miyamanishiki, but then I realized that I had not had Yamadanishiki, so I bought it.
As expected of King...the price was high.
I drank it cold.
There was a sizzling sound when the bottle was opened. The bottle did not pop.
Numerous bubbles adhered to the glass when poured, and the color was clear and almost colorless.
The top aroma was of ripe, sweet fruit.
The mouthfeel is fruity with a gaseous, juicy sweet and sour taste.
The palate is full of the rich sweetness and flavor of ripe fruit.
The aroma that passes through the nose is full-bodied, with a strong sweetness.
The label on the back of the bottle says that it has been aged for about 8 months, which explains why it is so rich.
I thought Miyamanishiki was the best, but King is also delicious, and it is hard to say which is better.
Ingredients: Rice (domestic), Rice Koji (domestic)
Rice used: 100% Yamadanishiki
