This sake was a gift from a junior colleague (son of a liquor store owner). It has been a long time since I've had a classic, THE old man's dry sake. There is a sweetness of rice in the back, and it is refreshing. Not bad. After the sweet and juicy sake, we had a glass of So-no-Sato. Not bad. I've only been at work for a little while after the new year, but the three-day weekend is wearing on me. Sake heals me 😄.

It was a gift from a junior colleague at work. I received it last year and remember that it had quite a punchy 🤜 flavor. It has a faint smell of cemedine, and a somewhat chemical 🧪 atmosphere in the mouth, but it has a nice, clean taste that doesn't interfere with the meal 😊. It's only 3 days old and it's getting sweeter and tastier 🙌 I got it in a bottle, so I'm thinking of trying some heated sake with ✖️ on the back label 🧐.

The rice used is Yamadanishiki. The rice polishing ratio is 35%, is it the flagship sake of the brewery? It has a solid ginjo aroma, and while it is basically light and dry, it also has a mild sweetness. There is little miscellaneous taste and the mouthfeel is good. The aftertaste has a good accent of alcohol and a solid flavor. Overall, it is a good sake with a cohesive taste that makes you realize again that the alcoholic version is better for the Daiginjo class.

Original Sake by Kishinami Brewery Darubish! Or rather, Tarubish! It's a pretty good name! It was the last bottle. Unfortunately, I can't believe they are closing at the end of next month 😭 Just like the name, the cedar barrel(?) The aroma of cedar barrels(?) is amazing! Not my favorite... The alcohol content is 16%, so it comes with a bang. It's already winter on the Northeast Highway, it's better that there is no snow on the road yet! Today we went to a curry shop in Aomori... They say you can only eat the roux once... I'm full 🈵!

It is thirst-quenching and refreshing. It has a sweetness with a hint of melon. This is a very good sake for Niigata.

Time is up, but here is the second bottle for the welcome party! Manjukagami, the department head's favorite! Following the black bottle at the previous farewell party, this time he brought a white bottle. The aroma was slightly fruity. The mouthfeel is clean and fruity, with a fragrant aftertaste. The bitter aftertaste is crisp and bitter. This bitterness reminds us that it is alsobe. This deretsun-like sensation is addictive! Thanks for the treat!

去年店頭で見かけて気になってたけど値段がネックでスルーしたお酒。在庫処分なのか2割引だったので購入してみた😅 1年経ってるから少し不安だったけど熟成感は無くフレッシュで甘旨。甘過ぎやろってくらい甘い🤣 だけど少し甘ダレしてるような印象。製造日からすぐ飲めばめっちゃ美味しそうな雰囲気めっちゃ感じる。
Our department head's favorite Manjyukagami A former colleague of mine (from Niigata) told me that it was a perfect match for our department head, who loves dry sake, so he ordered some and brought it to us. Although it is a honjozo, it is skillfully brewed without giving too much of an alcoholic taste. It has a moderate sweetness, umami, and a good sharpness, and you can faintly feel the presence of good quality alcohol. Although it is not a major brand, it was very tasty! Thank you very much for your kindness!

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^)

There was a person from the brewery to do a tasting and sale at the sales floor. The person today looked bored and I felt sorry for him and bought this sake. Thank you for coming from far away. When I looked at the label at home, I found that the production date on the label was November 5. I opened the bottle today to taste it as soon as possible. It has a fruity aroma and a good mouthfeel. It was a delicious sake with a complex flavor with a touch of bitterness and umami.

September 12, 2021 Dinner at home. I got this yazu from my friend yesterday. Today, I'm going to taste it as nigiri. The sake is Kawakame, a local sake from Hachimanohama. Kawakame. It is light and dry, and goes well with fish. 300ml is not enough for me, but But since I drank it two days in a row I'll leave it at that...(´ω・;)

The last bottle caught my eye and my attention, so I bought it! It's a blend of Junmai Ginjo and Junmai Daiginjo blame. Exciting just to hear about it😊. And it's reasonable! On the day of opening the bottle, it had a neutral impression. Rather than the Tainai-san type that washes down as a food sake. I thought it was the type to stay close to you. From the second day onwards, the flavors come together and the sharpness from the sweetness is noticeable. It was delicious even when drunk on its own.

The word "limited" makes me weak 😅. The owner of the liquor store told me that it was very spicy, so I bought it, but when I tried it, I found that it had a fruity taste and a hint of bitterness that balanced it out nicely 😚. I've never tried Tottori sake before, but it's good. I finished it in two days 🤤.

A freshly squeezed sake full of sweetness. However, it does not have the sweetness of amazake. The sweetness lingers in the back of the mouth for a while and then disappears. There is no acidity or miscellaneous flavors, making it a fresh sake. It is a sake to be enjoyed slowly and without snacks.

The mouthfeel is so gentle that it is hard to believe that the wine has been aged for 5 years. It has a crisp umami flavor with a moderate spiciness and astringency on the back end. I felt it had an excellent balance as a food sake. It is a good all-around sake.
