The third drink at the standing bar on my first visit was Yaemon, which I had never seen before. I told the staff that I wanted a drink that would go well with the mackerel cans, and that was dry but not too heavy, and they recommended it to me.
Indeed, it is a dry sake with a beautiful rice flavor, slightly floral and light and easy to drink. Perfect for mackerel cans. ❣️
The standing bar here serves only a few canned foods as snacks, and when you order from the sake menu of about 20 varieties, they pour it into a 130 ml glass. They leave the bottle in front of you for a while so you can take your time to take pictures of the label 😊.
It was a nice space with a stylish counter where you can stand and drink at a reasonable distance from the person next to you.
Afterwards, we broke up with a bowl of kitsune udon at a great standing udon restaurant in the neighborhood. It was quite a satisfying drinking party👍
This sake uses a yeast that produces malic acid, which is not common in sake.
It has a sour taste like apple or yogurt and a very mild aroma.
It has a faint yellowish hue.
The label on the back says it is like white wine,
The taste has a strong sake-like character.
Hard yellow peach, green leaves, and a slightly aged cashew nut-like aftertaste.
The impression is mineral, yet light.

This is a single-firing autumn hiyaoroshi, a standard dry junmai sake brewed with Yume-no-Ka rice. It has a refreshingly crisp mouthfeel reminiscent of green apples. The sweetness is subtle and light, but the sugar content is high and satisfying. It has a light body that retains its freshness while wearing the calmness of aging, with youthful acidity, a certain astringency that shows the remnants of youth, and a dignified +8 spiciness that spreads out refreshingly. It is a wine of great perfection that comes from letting it sit until the fall. It has a crisp and refreshing taste, and the lingering spiciness is perfect as a mid-meal drink. Enjoy it cold or warmed.

I found this at a liquor store in Osaka with Mr. Yoohee. It's a little dated, but I couldn't find it at the nearby Omaya, so I visited again a week later and bought it 😁.
I don't know if they don't sell much sake, but they were still selling Kikusui Funaichi Daiginjo-Nama 😅.
It says the rice was grown by the brewer, but I don't know the variety.
According to the internet, it seems to be unfiltered nama sake.
It has a little gasiness. It has a gorgeous, sweet and delicious taste with a little bitterness and sharpness. It's not flashy, but it's like a well-rounded honor student type sake.
Good evening, Mr. Yoohee.
There didn't seem to be any other place that sold it, so I went through Kozo and went straight to Yamaya 🤣.
I was lucky because they didn't have any hiney at all✨

Sweet! Sour and refreshing, slightly carbonated.
Although it is 14 degrees Celsius, it is like a juice. It is easy to drink.
But it also has the taste of rice and is very drinkable.
A sweet but tasty sake.
After visiting the Obon cemetery, I left my family at my wife's parents' house to enjoy themselves lazily, and went for a brisk walk and stocked up on sake in the evening. It was hot even though it was cloudy! But this is what summer is all about.
I saw a green upside-down label of Yamayo Yaemon, a special-order sake from a gardener's shop! I had to buy it when I heard it was a limited edition.
The aroma is bright and acidic, with a vinegar-like aroma,
The mouthfeel is silky and smooth, with a strong acidity like a white wine.
The mouthfeel is smooth and smooth, with a strong acidity and sweetness like white wine,
It is sour, but not too sweet,
It is crisp and refreshing,
Delicious!
It is a low-alcohol, undiluted sake,
The first sip was a surprise, and I thought it was the heat that got to me, but that's how sake is supposed to be.
It is very interesting and delicious. I couldn't stop gulping it down.
