If you want to pair dried fish from Noto with sake, you must drink sake from Ishikawa! So I ran to a local liquor store. This is the sake I encountered there. Perhaps it was the lack of expectation, but it was a very tasty sake with a refreshing taste that did not disturb the meal with its melon aroma and sweetness.
There are still many delicious sakes out there that I have never tried.
At a get-together at work, I was given one of the sakes brought by a person who has a wife who is a sake connoisseur. A new sake of the year. Fresh and fruity with a pear taste. Delicious.

More gassy than tasting, full of white grapes 😄
Carbonated white grape juice! So that means...
Hmmm... it's similar to Kaze no Mori Akitsuho😅.
Polishing ratio is also 70%, close to Akitsuho (65%) 😆.
Low milled rice perfection 😊.
HIYAHODOROSHI series. Aroma of autumn.
Kaga no Tsuki and Kagatsuru were delicious, but I liked Manzairaku, which has a little more acidity.
Pickles were crispy and delicious!

Manzairaku" booth.
I always see this brewery at the local supermarket, but I don't have much of a chance to drink it.
◉Hiyaoroshi Junmai Ginjyo Nama Zuke Nama Sake
A very balanced sake with a nice, clean taste, but with a hint of umami.
◉Kiku no Shizuku Junmai Ginjo
Made with Hyakumangoku No Shiro. A little spicy and refreshing.
Hyakumangoku No Shiro Junmai Daiginjo
A fruity but slightly sweet sake with a hint of bitterness.
It is a good choice for a mid-meal drink, rather than a sweet sake.

Manzairaku, a sake brewery that is a member of the Japan Famous Sake Association, but not often seen
We drank
Hiyoroshi Junmai Ginjo Nama Zuke
The acidity and umami were well-balanced and delicious!
Hyakumangoku No Shiro Junmai Daiginjo
Gorgeous and slightly sweet. Insistence is modest.
Kiku no Shizuku Junmai Ginjyo
More subdued taste than Jun Daiginjo
As the brewer said, it is a food sake concept, so the sake plays a supporting role in the overall taste.
Manzairaku Jin
Kobori Sake Brewery
It has a robust, thick, dry taste.
I drink it cold because it is summer, but I think it is delicious even if it is heated.
It is a delicious bottle that is worth drinking.
Polishing ratio 68
Alcohol content 16%.
