Kitajima's summer sake. Last time, we enjoyed Aizan's Namemoto. This time, it's a Yamada Nishiki Junmai Ginjo. It is brewed with a beautiful dry taste. It is a very elegant and cool beautiful sake. The aroma is subdued and the taste is refreshing. The finish is refreshing. The aftertaste is refreshing. Aouarashi is a seasonal word for summer. "The wind that blows across the green leaves in early summer. It's just like that.

This is Kitajima Miyamanishiki Junmai Ginjo Origarami Raw. It is a delicious sake with a mellow and fresh taste. It was easy to open the bottle👍This was my first time at the brewery and it is delicious😋.

I think this is my first time drinking Kitajima 🤔. octopus🐙 was very impressive on the label and I was curious about it, but this time I decided to try the orikagami❗️. The aroma is like melon🍈 or pineapple🍍😆. When you drink it, it is moderately sweet and very easy to drink👍 But I've never heard of rice called mizukagami 😅. I️ don't know the characteristics but it was a delicious sake that was easy to drink.

Another beautiful bottle this year. I was able to obtain it. The blue gradation is wonderful! I think last year it was the color of wild cherry. The taste is soft and gentle. Delicious! It didn't have the piquancy of a fresh sake. Like?

It is quite pungent, and the acidity creates a bit of sweetness. I think it is a crisp sake.
Japanese

English
It has a soft freshness. Creamy aroma, like vanilla. The mouthfeel is quite silky, with a hint of sweetness and flavor. There is a hint of citrus. Mild, but with a bitter and spicy aftertaste. Rather than drinking it by itself, it is very suitable for drinking with food. A bit alcoholic for me😅. I'd like to give it some time and see how it changes.

Tonight, I'm going to open this bottle for the first time in a long time & the long layover series. Kenshin Special Honjozo 2021BY I'm going to have a glass of this sake, which has been in hibernation for more than 2 years, with a plum crystal I bought in the neighborhood as a side dish. The taste is dry and crisp when cold, but as it gets closer to room temperature, the sweetness and umami of the rice is concentrated in the attack, and it changes to a deliciously dry taste. It gently wraps the sourness of the ume crystal and washes it away, and it goes surprisingly well with it, making it a good drink. ☺️

Continued from yesterday. The second bottle is a sake called Kenshin from Niigata. This bottle was given to me by a friend of my son. The timing was not good, so I was finally able to open it. I took a sip, thinking it would be a little yellowish and dry. I took a sip. Surprisingly, it had a mild barrel sake flavor. It can be used not only with sashimi, but also with a slightly stronger flavor. Delicious! (^O^)

Tonight, here is the second one for the New Year 💁. It has a dry aroma and taste with a strong character 🍶 It flows smoothly and without boredom. The flavor of rice can be felt softly in the midst of all this 👌.

Sagaminada...and my favorite Omachi...a perfect balance of sweetness and bitterness...a perfect balance of sweetness and bitterness! It's delicious on its own, but Sagaminada is a perfect food sake 🍶 for maximum performance! Today, I'm having a nabe (hot pot) 🫕♪ with "salted swordfish" from Minami-Boso as a side dish: .... I'm having a little bit of it...

It goes well with fish and seafood... I'm having it with bonito sashimi, bonito tataki, boiled skin, and today, sashimi of mehikari that I got during my expedition to Iwaki, Fukushima...

We had another bottle of DATESEVEN that we had missed drinking with the returning bonito. I dressed it with a large amount of myoga sent from the countryside. Everyone else had mentioned that it tasted good well chilled, and I thought they were right. It was delicious.

The 5th Sagajo Shoten Presents at the 5th Bishushu Raku Kushan Shokai 😃. The sake has been dry for a while, but let's have a sake with a very dry sake degree of +20 🎵Nagaragawa is basically dry 🤔Oh, it's spicy! Spicy is spicy, but the taste makes you wonder if it has a sake degree of +20 ❗It's not just spicy, it's a professional's job to give it character 😌.

Nagara River booth. It is not sold outside of the prefecture, so I guess it is a rare brewery to see in the Kansai region. I was a bit intimidated by the dryness of the sake, but when I tried it, I found it wasn't too hot. I think they were all refreshing.

Purchased at Okadaya, Nagoya Sake Rice used is Hidahomare. It is a so-called summer sake, and is said to be aged for one year. It does not have a matured feel and has a mild mouthfeel. It is refreshing as a summer sake should be, and the umami is clearly conveyed. It is easy to drink when cooled down to a crisp. The label is designed by a famous person? It's a cool design.

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(^-^)/

Last sake I bought last year as a Kumamoto souvenir. If I have a chance to visit Kumamoto again, I would like to visit Aso and Kikuchi area 😌. When opened and poured, it has a sweet aroma like sugar and sugarcane. The mouthfeel is crisp and immediately afterwards has the plumpness of rice plus the sweet and spicy taste of brewer's alcohol. The flavor is stable from start to finish, with a delicious standard taste! The unadorned taste is a perfect accompaniment to a meal 👍. I would like to visit 4 unexplored prefectures (Kochi, Miyazaki, Kagoshima, Okinawa), but there are many places I would like to revisit. 🗺️

The first sake brewery. Sake made with Hananishiki rice and Kumamoto yeast. Slightly acidic. The harmony of sweet and spicy is well-balanced and easy to drink.

Fukushima again today. And raw sake! Huh? No tingling sensation? And it's not so much sweet as it is...is it salty? Salty? It's a new sensation. (I'm sure I'm mistaken.) Last year? (I'm sure I'm mistaken.) It's a different image from the Aizu Nakasyo I drank last year. This is only the second time I've tasted it (correction: it was the third time 💦), so I guess I don't understand it well. Sake is so deep.

The fourth bottle brought in is Aizu Chusho. This one is also from the inventory of a junior colleague I mentioned earlier. It has the unique flavor and richness of light nigori. It has a moist finish, which gives it a gentle feeling. It is a distinctly different sake from the others we have brought in. I like this kind of sake! This kind of sake is also good! At the banquets I organize at work, I give an allowance to those who bring in their own sake. A bottle I want other colleagues to try. A bottle I want to drink with them. I want to cherish that thought and the spirit of self and others co-prosperity. Thank you for your hospitality!
