Last night was a get-together. We brought our own sake, assuming it wouldn't be too much since it was an all-you-can-drink course at an izakaya chain restaurant. (I got the restaurant's approval!) I bought my first bottle of Vice Shogun. The aroma is fresh and fruity. The mouthfeel is salty-sweet with a hint of sourness. The ginjo aroma becomes a pleasant aftertaste, and is finished off with a mild sourness and bitterness. I thought it was based on a light dry base, but I could feel Aizan's character, and it was very tasty. The fact that everyone who drank it gave it high marks probably indicates that they were paying attention to me. I also like the cost performance of Aizan's Junmai Daiginjo, which is under 2,000 yen! Thank you very much for your hospitality!

This is a delicious sake to taste (^^). The aroma, taste, and acidity all stand out well, with a pleasant sweet-sourness reminiscent of freshly made freshness and apples!

Junmai Ginjo🍶Summer only sake 😆. Sweet and thick 😳. It's like coarse 😅. When you take your time to sip it, it softens a bit and has a dry melon aftertaste. Softened by Aizu's specialty, squid and carrots. The final dish is a chilled shoyu sauce, which is unique to summer. But it is rather refreshing. The soup is delicious. But I wonder if it's a change 🤔. Aizu Kitakata Ramen Aizuna @ Jujo 20230801

It is a travel wine! Easy to drink ^_^ Although it is a summer sake, it is mild and not too sour. It is a summer sake, but it is mild and not too acidic.

Hakone Drink Comparison Set (3) On March 1, after a year-long event, I went on a trip to Hakone as a way of consolation! The local sake was served to compare with Japanese kaiseki. Is Hakone Ginjo the name of the brand? However, I am not sure because the name does not come up at all when I looked it up on Google... I haven't had a fire-brewed ginjo-shu in a long time. The ginjo aroma is pleasant. It has an elegant aroma and sharpness, and is the smoothest dry sake of them all. It is very good as a food sake for Japanese food, and goes well with white fish and vegetables. It is also good with sashimi!

Hakone Drink Comparison Set (2) On March 1, after a year-long event, I went on a trip to Hakone as a way of consolation! The local sake was served to compare with Japanese kaiseki. It was my first time to try Hakonezan! This is the spiciest sake in the group. It is a dry ginjo-shu as you might imagine, but it is moderately rich and very good as a mid-meal drink. Of course, it goes well with ingredients as they are, but it also goes well with dishes that have been added, such as those using dashi (Japanese soup stock)!

Ikebukuro with friends on Wednesday. It was not an all-you-can-drink party. Sake was my friend's choice as we sunk into the sake swamp. It was my first Hakuba Nishiki. Nice choice. It tasted like it would be ranked high in the Nigorin picks. It was fresh, fruity, sweet and refreshing. The upper half of the label is European and the lower half is Japanese, which gives it a Showa-era feel.

Shinshu Travels (2) Purchased at a sake store in Kotani Village The weather is too good to be true today. As we pass through Hakuba Village, we see the spectacular Northern Alps 🏔 to the west! The white of the snow is reflected in the cloudless blue sky. The three distinctive tongues in the middle of the photo are called "Hakuba Sanzanzan" and the rightmost one is "Shirouma-dake (白馬岳)". On hot days, clouds tend to form and hide them, but today we were lucky to see them clearly. Hakuba Nishiki" is named after such a beautiful mountain. First, at room temperature, The mouthfeel is smooth and the umami spreads gradually. You can feel the alcohol taste, but not only that, the sourness and bitterness continue and you will never get tired of drinking it! It becomes more mellow when heated. Ideal as a food sake!

Tonight, here's another favorite brand 💁. Takachidai Takagami Aoban 2023BY It's been a long time since I've had a sake with alcohol, and while all Takagusuku's are delicious, this Aoban is the first one in my house 🙌 They also released a four-pack bottle this season, which I'm very thankful for ☺️ Now, from the aroma, there is a fresh fruity aroma of muscat and lychee, and the mouthfeel has a pleasant balance of fruity sweetness and acidity 😊 It is very tasty with a softness and lightness that does not make you feel like it is alsodeye 😋😋😋😋😋😋.

Ai" is a seasonal fresh version of "Shu". No nigori, fruity aroma. It is dry, but has a light sweetness, bitterness, and a good balance of alcohol when swallowed. Although it is alky, it is an easy-drinking, good-cost sake.

. It is light but has a slightly sweet taste and is not monotonous. It's low alcohol, easy to drink, and perfect for a mealtime drink. 👍️ Perfect with grilled oysters and scallops👌.

9 points (wife: 8 points) Rice used: Kami no Ho (Mie) Rice polishing ratio: 50 Sake Degree : undisclosed Acidity /: Undisclosed Alcohol Content ; 17%. Condition: Unpasteurized (Hon-nama) Store purchased from: Jizake No Sake Shop "Yushuya" (Kiyota-ku, Sapporo) When the bottle is opened, it has a "ssshhhhppppppp" feeling. Moderate gassiness Slight pineapple and rice malt overtones The same full aroma, firm rice flavor, and mild sweetness as the topping, along with a small amount of citrus-like acidity, spread out with a pizzazz, and are quickly quenched by the slight spiciness and assertive bitterness of the alcohol. For a junmai daiginjo, the aroma is subdued, and the umami and richness of the rice can be felt, giving the sake a solid impression. It goes well with meals and is also delicious on its own. It went well with homemade hamburgers, fried oysters from Aono Suisan, fried horse mackerels, and crab cream croquettes. It went well with a Chinese chicken hamburger from Lucky Piero, a souvenir of Hakodate from an occasional work colleague.

This was my first Koganezawa, a gift from someone. It is a Junmai Daiginjo made from Gohyakumangoku, so I had an image that it was quite refreshing, but it tasted just as it should. But it also has a strong umami of rice and is easy to drink without any peculiarities 😆 It is easy to pair with meals and I was off in no time 🤣. It was easy to match with meals and we finished it in no time 🤣.

Junmai Ginjo🍶Brut✨Hitomebore🌾 from Miyagi Prefecture. Gentle and easy to drink. ☺️ Good balance. Well balanced. It is as easy to drink as water when paired with corn kakiage (deep fried corn). It is a great complement to salmon. Hateful guy who makes you eat more 😅 Umi to @Takadanobaba 20230810
