Drank with friends in Gunnison. Much sweeter than I expected from a Niigata sake but not cloying. Very light and delicious.

I decided to go to β£οΈ because I had never had it before and because of the words "fruity". Exactly! Aomori means scallops π₯°. This is the first time I actually ate them there πΆ.

Natsuta Fuyuzo works in the rice paddies in summer and in the warehouse in winter. This is my first time to try the KAME-NO-IO sake rice. π It was very elegant, with a deep and delicate flavor. Plus, the mouthfeel is crisp and refreshing at the end of the drink π I paired it with grilled fish and it goes wellπ. It's a lost one in my book π

Direct from the warehouse I got it at Eiraku in Akita. I bought it after I came back to Japan. It is as beautiful and soft as ever! It is a sake I would like to drink only on a daily basis πΆ.

It's going to be a vegetable-centered menu with cucumbers, tomatoes, snap peas, and ... for the summer as it gets hotter. Dinner with sake from the countryside. It is a refreshing and royal sake of Echigo, light and dry, and fits for dinner. The brewery is located next to Niigata Prefectural Ojiya High School, where I went to school, and the main brand is Chojazakari.

This Sake is slightly dry with an earthy aroma. There are flavors of mushroom and wood. Sweetness and acidity are present towards the end. The flavor profile is different from other Niigata Sake I have tried. Guess I need to drink more Sake. π

This is the second mini-bottle of Ishikawa sake. It is easy to drink at 9% alcohol by volume. It may not be enough for sake lovers.

I went to Wajima by chance. This is the first sake I drank there. As the label says, it is light, more like a classic sake, with a low alcohol content of 9%, which makes it easy to drink. It has both umami and acidity. While many stores in downtown Wajima have yet to reopen for business, we purchased this sake at Freshland Maruko, one of the few supermarkets that remained open until relatively easy to use hours. It has been almost five months since the disaster, and there are still many collapsed houses blocking the roads, but the media coverage of the disaster is decreasing, and the local people are worried that the disaster will be forgotten. As in the case of the Great East Japan Earthquake, we ask for everyone's continued support. We should not forget about Tohoku, though.

Newly registered brand. Since the sake brewer could not be registered, the new brand is "Aizu Otokoyama" from Otokoyama Shuzo Brewery in Aizu Misato Town, Fukushima Prefecture. Its new brand name is "Wa". It has a mild aroma. It has a melon aroma and a hint of sweetness like caramel. The sweetness that is not too strong is impressive. There is some acidity. The aftertaste is strong alcohol. A strong bitterness also lingers. I have a feeling that it will be excellent with Japanese food.

I was curious about this sake because Mr. Manachie was drinking it. Purchased at an antenna store in Fukushima Prefecture. I really wanted the same specs, but they only had this one and an expensive one, so I had no choice but to choose this one. The brewery has reopened after 20 years. It has a mild and gentle honey-like sweetness. The aftertaste is refreshing. I would prefer a little more sweetness, but it seems to go well with a meal.

It has a faint sweet and sour aroma. It goes down the throat easily. What remains in the mouth is sweetness. And a bitter taste. It's an unusual kind of sake that leaves a sweet taste. But it's delicious. Hokkaido sake is delicious.
