I bought "Light of Hope: Three Tohoku Brands Support Set" from Ideya. For some reason, they delayed the arrival date, so I finally got it. It cheered me up and made me want to do my best.

Tonight, we will open a bottle of this sake to keep the events of 13 years ago from fading away: 💁♂️ Banjo Kotobuki Golden Slumber 2022BY The standing aroma is very youthful, fresh fruit and aloe, with no sense of maturity. The taste is very delicious, with a refined rum and cider with a slight effervescence. The lingering bitterness in the aftertaste is like floating in a dream of slumber. It's a sake that I'm sure I'll never forget, but it's a positive feeling that keeps me walking forward. ☺️

Kotobuki made using Nagai Kurate's Snow Goddess. It has a mild aroma, but the flavor of the rice is very strong. I would like to drink it heated, but it's too hot to drink it cold this time of year.

At home. It is the first Kanagawa and the first Tensei. The aroma is slightly fruity. The characteristic is the softness when you put it in your mouth. It's so tasteless and odorless that you think it's water for a moment, but it makes your mouth swell up. The smell of Cemedine in the nose and throat is clear. It's the first time I've ever felt such a sensation.

Purchased for the purpose of coloring Kanagawa Prefecture😅. It had a green apple-like aroma, a refreshing taste, and the sweetness of rice. I could feel the producer's "penetrating tininess and full of moisture". We will soon be able to complete the Kanto area as Hanahayo and Yamori will be in the cellar as well 😊.

Polishing ratio 100%. The color is golden rather than yellow. It has a grassy, black vinegar, and when shaken, it has an apple-like flavor. It has a honey, sour, vinegar, and umami taste. It seems to have five times more amino acids than regular sake, which may be responsible for the umami and acidity. The umami lingers for a long time. It has a long lingering umami aftertaste. It has a sour, umami, vegetal, and matured taste, and the surging sourness and umami make it hard to feel the 16% alcohol content. It is good with Robatazuke and pickled plums. It is good with food.

Dry
I wanted a dry, dry drink. There are days when I'm in that mood. You might say don't choose raw, but I realized it after the sake bottle came. I enjoyed it with yudofu. It fits my mood today. When I think of dry, dry sake, I think of Niigata, Hiroshima, and Kochi. I admit to disagreeing.

This Sake paired well with the home made bacon we had with dinner. The flavor profile is bright with the flavor of banana and has a dry, clean finish. The dryness is mild and not overly strong.
It is delicious lukewarm.

A gift of Koshino Kanbai, 100% Yamada Nishiki from Hyogo Prefecture. The rice polishing ratio is 30%! The aftertaste of Yamadanishiki, with its moderate bitterness and full flavor, is good.... I guess...

I bought it at Max Value. The aroma is lightly fruity? It's a good idea to try a little bit of both. Today, my second son is taking care of me. It is better than drinking alone✌️. I think I'm going to drink too much😊😊😊.

A tipple at the wife's parents' house. This sake has a matured flavor from multiple sake rice varieties and is moist and easy to drink. The accompaniment is an osechi dish

Chiba's local sake 🍶 I had bought it in early spring touring 🏍️... forgot about it... I was thinking of a traditional mellow dry taste... .... I forgot about it...I thought it was a hybrid of old-fashioned and modern...not much aroma...the mouthfeel has the old-fashioned mellow, mellow, umami taste.... It's delicious 😋 Hey...it's a good food sake 🍶 and delicious 😋! This one! I feel it's evolving and deepening...delicious 😋.

My favorite local sake from MinamibosoThe drink has a light amber color and a faint aroma of Yamada Nishiki rice. You can feel the flavor of the rice. It's mellow, sweet and bitter, and it's fun to sip on it.

Today, I decided to have a little taste. This is Chiba Prefecture's Kobin. This is the second time. This time, it was decadent and raw, so I picked it up. The taste is classic but thin. It was too little to sense the others.

It is healing. It is light in alcohol content at 14 degrees and It is sweet with a thickening sensation. It is the complete opposite of the usual Manrei, but it tastes just like the cute label. It tastes just like the cute label.

Found it at a local store I sometimes go to 👀. I had no prior knowledge of the brand, but was attracted by the sexy label and the owner's comment that it was "sweet and delicious" 😁. It is indeed sweet. But not sticky, clean and elegant sweetness 😋. By the third day, the sweetness was reduced and the taste was balanced 😆 Uma~! I guess the 6th place in the Saga ranking is not for nothing 😆😆. Thanks for the food 🙏🙏.

にごり祭りを中断してこちら。オカンおすすめと聞いたので、おせち準備を手伝いながらチビチビ、昭和な感じ。冷では控えめ、スッキリ系で王道辛口酒なのですが、温めると花が開いたように香る。セメダイン香?飲み口も柔らかく旨い、これが燗酒だって感じ。美味しい。
Memorandum of the outside drinking on 12/2 It was delicious(^-^)/

I know fukui has some kind of austere image 😅. But when I tried it, I found it very easy to drink and delicious ❗️. It's a sake with a characteristic sourness as shown on the label, and it tastes rather modern 😄. It has a delicious flavor and the acidic aftertaste is refreshing and very tasty 👍
