Good skipjack: ❗️❗️
Third image, this is the bonito I had yesterday 🐟.
It was so delicious❤️
And I'm definitely a garlic person for skipjack 🧄.
I'm definitely a garlic person when it comes to bonito and I'm going with Matsumori from Ibaraki.
It's very refreshing and brings out the flavor of the bonito without interfering with the bonito.
I have been enjoying all the sake from Ibaraki lately.
Well, I'm a person who likes anything as long as it has alcohol in it... 😇
The fourth picture is shirasu (baby sardine) kakiage.
You don't know what shirasu is until you eat it.
Good evening, Mr. Manachie 😃.
Fruity and dry Miyamanishiki! It's one of our favorites 😋 and a bonito like Mt Fuji 🗻...shirasu no kakiage ⁉️ indeed I don't get it 😆.
Purchased at Nakamura Sake Shop in Toride. The aroma is of a pulpy red type of melon, a bit like a smooth chervil, and the sake lees flavor is not too strong.
The taste is heavy, with other elements more noticeable than the smoothness of the raw sake. The alcohol content is 19%, but it is not too strong and punchy.
I looked at the production date and found that it was dated 24.11...but it looks like it was released last year. I bought this sake because I wanted to drink a nama-shu, but I guess it was not the right sake for this time of the year when hiyaoroshi sake is distributed.
It's normally tasty, but maybe for a cooler time of year. It has a sweetness, but it is not spread out in a mischievous way, and the center of gravity is heavy and cohesive.
At a very local festival held in front of Hitachiota Station
When a local sake brewery has a stall, local sake drinkers go to support it.
The fact that you can drink daiginjo-nama-sake for only 500 yen a brew is also a local event!
Sweet and mellow
Fruity acidity and bitterness finish it off.
It may seem like a waste to pair it with festival food like yakitori and fries, but this is one of the best parts of local events!
Purchased at Mito Jizake Bar Tasting
Matsumori test brewed sake
Nigori sake-like sweet sake aroma
Fresh, juicy, dark, sweet and tasty acidity
A touch of honey as it warms up.
The brewer says it goes well with blue cheese.
It's like putting honey on blue cheese.
It goes well with other cheeses too.
It has a strong flavor, so it can be used with satsuma-mucho.
Slightly yellowish and clear, with aromas of honeysuckle, Kamishinko, and Japanese pear. The attack is rather strong, with a firm acidity, a mild sweetness, and a slight bitterness, with a rather long finish.
To Ibaraki Prefecture for legal matters
Junmai Ginjo by Matsumori of Hitachiota.
The label has a
character of Hitachiota City
Mr. Jozuru, a character of Hitachiota City, is decorated on the label.
To be honest, I'm not sure if it's cute or not
I'm not sure if it's cute or not.
I'm not sure if it's cute or not, but I'm sure it's a character with a lot of flavor.
gulp
It is said that the name "Matsuo" was derived from a pine tree in the house, with the hope that the family business would prosper for generations to come, and that Matsuo Taisha, the god of sake, would also flourish.
Okabe's sake is very drinkable! As it rolls on the tongue, it is full of flavor and richness, which can be enjoyed both on the tongue and in the throat. The hidden acidity assists the sweetness and spiciness.
The 597th one-cup, one-pack festival
The name is humorous.
It has a watery, crisp texture, making it suitable as a food wine.
On the other hand, the lingering alcohol is easily noticeable.
National Sake Fair 2025 in Osaka
Ibaraki Prefecture Booth (9)
The brewery is located in Hitachiota City and, like Inaba Sake Brewery, this is a male brewer who is the sixth generation of the brewery's head brewer.
◉Matsumori Sho Junmai Daiginjo
This is my favorite type of sake, with a dark, sweet umami flavor. It is also a bit complex and delicious.
Akihiro Okabe, the 6th generation master brewer, is a certified wine sommelier.
National Sake Fair 2025⑱
Ibaraki Prefecture9
Okabe-san, Hitachiota City
A brand of Ibaraki sake that I've always wanted to try.
Polishing ratio 45%, Yamadanishiki 17%, Sake degree +5, Acidity 1.2, 6600 yen
According to the official website, it is a Fukuro-hozuri Shizukusake.
Fruity ginjo aroma, but a little strange.
Is it an off-flavor?
I would be very disappointed if there was an off-flavor for this price 🤔.
I forgot to take a picture, so I borrowed Nemuchi's picture!
With a slight bitterness, this sake had what I perceived to be a strong flavor. It was not overpowered by the accidental dumplings (soy sauce and hot sauce) and other strong tasting snacks.
