My wife has a slight taste disorder, but since she couldn't spend time at her parents' house 😊, we treated her to another New Year's meal 🎍. The wine to go with it was "Kyo no Hana" purchased at our favorite liquor store in Kushiro, Sagajo Shoten. I was torn between this and "Tatsusen" brewed by the same brewery, neither of which I had ever tasted before, but I chose this one because of the "fantastic rice" description 😊. Kyo no Hana No.1! There really are a lot of different sake rice varieties available: ‼️ It has a sharpness that is typical of Fukushima sake, but at the same time, it has a moist and gradually delicious flavor 😋.

Japanese>English

Kyo-no-Hana from the sake bag I bought in Fukushima. It is sweet but not too sweet, so it is very tasty. Today I paired it with chawanmushi (steamed egg custard), grilled hanpen cheese with mentaiko (cod roe), and ahi jio with nori (dried seaweed), all of which went very well together.

Japanese>English

It is a very tasty, clean and crisp sake. It is a well-balanced and good food sake. It went well with chawanmushi (steamed egg custard) and ahi jus. ★★★★

Sake from Aichi Prefecture, which was procured at a sake festival. We had it warmed up. It is a robust, mature sake with a strong acidity. It has a strong acidity, and even when it is heated up, it still retains its tanginess. I paired it with a pork and Chinese cabbage hot pot, but it won out. ★★★★

It has been a long time since I have seen such a yellow sake! The color of the sake is so strong that it even looks amber. It even looks amber. It tastes like plums with a strong acidity. I thought it would soften when heated, but it didn't. It is a very assertive heated sake. The alcohol content is 18-19%, which is quite strong, so the strong taste is understandable. It even feels close to a distilled liquor. I paired it with mille-feuille hot pot, but it was a strange feeling that I couldn't say it matched or didn't match. It is hard to imagine what would be the best match for this sake.

#Nagoya Nishiki 3-chome# Today I'm in Nagoya on a business trip🚅. I arrived late and went to a familiar restaurant near where I was staying 🥴. I decided to leave it to him and he started with a sake from a brewery near his parents' house😅. The depth and sharpness with acidity from the Yamahai, great with the flavorful dark wings👍. I'm craving a salad now 😆.

A souvenir from a business trip to Niigata. My colleague introduced me to Miyakoya and I bought it. It was a very tasty sake with the beautiful lightness and umami of Niigata. The bonito was also very nice and fatty, so it made for a good dinner.

Gorgeous aroma. Light and dry. It has just the right amount of sweetness and acidity, with a refreshing sharpness. A beautiful, yet robust sake. Kame-no-o. With grilled meat

The flavor of the rice spreads softly throughout the mouth, but it is very tasty and not at all stodgy!

Visiting Ise with my wife's parents! (We just went there last October 😅) Geku shrine → Sarutahiko shrine → lunch at Ise Kaku Uchingu restaurant → around the inner shrine and back to the inn for my parents and to Ise Man for myself and my wife 😁. This time, due to the space in our fridge (and budget), we only tasted the raw sake! It was refreshing and delicious 😋😋😋.

Kami no Ho, is the name of sake rice. It is made in Mie Prefecture and seems to be rather limited to the region. The taste was milder than that of nama-shu, but full-flavored. It was a delicious sake.

2021/06/28 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The design and color of the bottle is very stylish. When you open the bottle, the aroma is like muscat. It's light and fresh in the mouth. You can feel the sweetness of the roundness of the aroma. The more you drink, the more fruity it becomes. This may be a sake for women.

October 7, 2022 Evening drink at home. It was the day of a local festival, so I decided to have something to drink.

The sundubu jjigae was I kept the spiciness low so that my family could also enjoy it. I made the best use of the soup stock of shijimi clam. The sake does not have much rice flavor 🤔. Maybe because it is a ginjo sake. It is quite light.

Our annual sake party 😁 today with three of us 🌸. My friend brought me this sake from Naito Brewery in Sobue, Aichi👍. It's very light and easy to drink. It has a dry throat, but not too much acidity, and you can taste the flavor😋. It's a great sake to drink with two great drinkers and it's easy to drink like water😝.

Japanese sake party with a wild rice cake! A toast to the local sake brought by my friend👍. The aroma is subdued, but when you put it in your mouth, the sweetness spreads at once 😋 It's not rich, but the taste is strong. It is a dangerous sake that can be drunk easily😝. I had it with some sashimi and it was delicious. I'm sure you'll agree that sashimi is a must for sake👍.

There is clearly more lees than the previous Yamadanishiki. When you take the supernatant first, the taste opens up from the beginning, with a thick umami and sweetness spreading. The Yamadanishiki Junmai Ginjo reached this state at room temperature, but this one's flavor comes through even at low temperatures. When the lees are stirred, a crisp acidity is added and the aftertaste becomes clear. The full-bodied aroma comes out of the nose, and the taste becomes highly complete at once. This one is also insanely delicious! I've been drinking a lot of Omachi sake lately, and I wonder if this complex and thick sweet flavor is a characteristic of Omachi.

Japanese>English

Yamadanishiki ver. Compared to Omachi's lees sake, it is slightly more lees and has a 1% lower alcohol content (17%). The bottle size is also changed from 500ml for Omachi to No. 4. The aroma is like rice itself and rice malt. The pure sweetness that is typical of Yamadanishiki passes through the nostrils with a slightly thick texture, and there is a slight bitterness that seeps into the tongue. A slight bitterness seeps into the tongue and a tangy sourness on the tip of the tongue. The taste that spreads in multiple directions in the mouth is like a rocket firework. As the day goes by, the acidity will become more rounded and a sense of unity will emerge.
