Lingering
This is a seasonal sake from spring to summer of Onikoroshi, the main brand of the Uota Shuzo brewery. It is a junmai daiginjo unfiltered raw sake that is stored in a snow cellar. It is sold at the brewery, at a roadside station in Kiyomi, Takayama City, and at supermarkets in Takayama City. The color is hazy with lees, and it has a rich aroma of rice like doburoku. The rich flavor is reminiscent of onikoroshi, and the sweetness spreads out from the rich umami. It is one of Misobagi's favorites with a long-lasting aftertaste.

National Sake Fair 2025 Day 2 ㉚ Gifu ⑥ Oda Sake Brewery in Takayama City I remember drinking vacuum-packed sake at the Japanese Sake Festival. Annual shipment is 700 koku. They say they are the originator of many Onikoroshi sake breweries in Japan. I think the real brand name is Hida-boast. It's under the umbrella of Hidagura Corporation, a sake brewery revitalization company. Polishing ratio 58%, Hidahomare 18-19%, Sake degree +10, Acidity 1.9 Amino acidity 1.9, 901 yeast, 1754 yen. It tasted sharp and dry 😅.

The rice used is. Yume Issho from Fukuoka Prefecture Freshly pressed and unpasteurized sake, it has a fresh and crisp mouthfeel. It has a slight muscat-like sweetness and a refreshing finish. You can drink it like a soft drink. It is suitable for a wide range of dishes, but I think it is best served with yakiniku (grilled meat). It is perfect for a rich flavor. ❣️ I would like to repeat this delicious sake. ‼️

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.
I didn't like the dry taste that much, but it is delicious! It's crisp and refreshing, but also has a deep umami/sweetness. I like it!

I was told it was more on the sweet side, but it seemed flat. I don't feel any spiciness. Also, the alcohol taste is weak. I think it is easy to drink.

Manazuru goes well with heated sake. Delicious 😋 blown in the autumn breeze. Mellow and flowing. The austere label is nice too.

Good evening, it's Shamrock, a parallel world from Manazuru in our first series ☘️☘️☘️. Not a Yotsuba, but I'm opening this bottle to pray for Japan's 🇯🇵 soccer team to win tonight✨ It has a sweetness that is typical of rice, lactic yogurt and acidity, and is delicious 🐴🐴🐴🐴, but it has a high alcohol spiciness on the back end that makes it very drinkable. I had a puku puku brew the other day. I think it is similar to the junmai sake I drank the other day from Pukupuku Brewing (that one is Koshihikari) 🤗. I heated it up to lukewarm to try it out and it doubled in flavor 😋.

The second sake is from Japan's northernmost sake brewery, Kunimei! It's sake from Hokkaido - how could it not go well with crab! I thought. We had it with grilled crab meat in the shell as a side dish. Without a doubt, it was the perfect sake for crabs and seafood.

It's like the masculinity of gusto and honjozo. ♠️ The snow man on the label is a very unlikeable character and I drank it while looking at the label. It's a bit light and easy to drink 🙂 I want to try a hot one next time!

A modern sake brewed by Aoki Shuzo, famous for Tsururei. It is completely different from the cup of sake Yukio that I drank before. It is sweet with a sour taste, but not cloying and very easy to drink. It was a low-alcohol, fresh summer sake, but when I checked the production date, it was about a year ago.... I think it was sold at room temperature (not in the refrigerator), so I wonder if it is not a summer sake. Well, it tasted good to me, so I don't have a problem with it.

#Funabori# A bit of a bad look 😅. Homemade sundubu jjigae with a side of homemade sundubu jjigae. We had this one. 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.
