I'm sipping on a small portion of the Smoked Dish assortment from a certain Niigata supermarket...mackerel, salmon, eggs, baby scallops, cheese🧀, nuts...it's a great time to be a drinker. Smoked Dish assortment.... Happy...

Halcyon looks just like poor grass, or so I found when I looked it up. Peach, lactic acid, wood, fresh smell. It has a light peachiness, a refreshing, yet tight acidity, a taste of rice, astringency, and finally a spiciness that spreads rapidly. It is delicious, but the price is too high. It is a good food sake, but the price is too high. It is too good to drink with chilled tofu. I like it. When I ate it with food, the spiciness I felt when drinking it alone was converted into umami, and the subtle sweetness and umami made me want to eat more. When I ate it with fish, I enjoyed the umami and savory taste. It is delicious. The smell gets stronger as the temperature rises. The second day. Juicy. Grape-like.

The fourth drink at my favorite yakitori restaurant was Hakkaisan by Hakkai Jozo! This time it was Shiboritate Harazake Echigo-de-Hou Blue Label! Is this the first Hakkaisan since I started working at Sake-no-Wa? Well, let's have it right away! First, the aroma. Not much of an aroma. It starts with the umami when you put it in your mouth. I have an image of Hakkaisan as being light, but this is rich and delicious! The complex flavor in the middle part of the bottle is balanced by a lingering bitterness that spreads out slowly, making it a delicious sake that goes well with meals. Well, I was healed by the delicious chicken dishes and sake again tonight! The third one is my favorite baumkuchen from Club Harrier! I've been trying to cut back on sweets lately, but tonight was the only night my wife gave me this baumkuchen! I heated it up and ate it, but it was still great! Thanks to my wife, I had a great day!

Ma-ki-, good evening here too 😊. Looks like you had a really nice day, I can feel your wife's kindness ✨ Come to think of it, I haven't drank any Hakkaisan since I started drinking sake 😅.

A sales person from Hakkaisan visited our favorite liquor store. Our family's order of the day was crab legs for kani-sukiyaki. ❗️ I asked the sales lady what bottles would go well with the kani-sukiyaki, and she recommended three. The sales lady recommended three bottles: "The standard special honjozo: delicious cold or hot," "Seasonal Junmai Daiginjo," and "Shiboritate Harazake. *The special honjozo has been a favorite for a long time. *The Shiboritate Harasake has a robust flavor, and if the crab you order tastes light, it will beat it! Therefore, I chose the seasonal Junmai Daiginjo. The result was a great answer: ❗️ The crab we ordered had a light flavor, so the Junmai Daiginjo was sufficient. If the crab was not frozen but boiled on the beach and arrived the next day, "Shiboritate Hara Sake" was the best choice. It went well with the Chinese cabbage, mushrooms, kuzukiri, taro, etc. after the kani-sukiyaki. Thank you very much for your hospitality.

Dark! The smooth texture and dark sweetness of the raw sake! Of course it is also dark at 19 degrees! It doesn't matter which sake cup you have it in, it won't change that much. The dark sweetness and sharpness are delicious. May it go home well 🙏.

The brightly colored Dodger bottle. Although I had an image of this sake being drunk by old men, it was more refreshing and easier to drink than I expected. It was delicious, with no bitterness or alcohol taste, and you could really taste the umami. It would be great with oden or hot pot. It is an excellent sake that can be served at room temperature or warmed up.

I wanted to take a nice sake with me to Thanksgiving for my family to try. My father who hasn’t had much sake before this said it was crisp, clear and refreshing 😂. I mostly agree. It was light and dry and most everyone really enjoyed it.
