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.

(🍶🍶🍶🍶 Today, I received a bottle of Hakkaisan gourd 😀 Today is another hot day🥵. It's another hot day 🥵I chose to drink a bottle of Hakkaisan 💕Hakkaisan's typical light, clean and crisp taste 😚1 gou (1 cup) is gone in an instant 🍶It's been a while since I drank it, but it's still a delicious sake 🥳.

Reminder: At the after-party. The palate is gentle and dry. In the past, I wouldn't have been able to drink it, but now I can. ☺️

Average 60. 70 for appearance clarity, 50 for aroma complexity, 60 for flavor balance, 55 for structure/body, and 70 for lingering/finish. A clean sake sparkler, this is a great choice for fans of both sparkling wine and sake. The white water of Niigata combined with the white yeast was another twist that reminded me of a snowy god. I don't trust sake from airport duty-free shops, so I think it's worth picking up something with a clear purpose.

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! By the way, I ate up this whole baumkuchen! Thanks to my wife, I had a great day!

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.
