Last weekend I was out of sake to go with oden, so I went to the local supermarket and bought a 300㎖ bottle for the sake. It has a sweet and refreshing taste. It's good at hiya, but it tastes even better when it's warmed up to human skin temperature to increase the sweetness. However, I thought it would be too clean to pair with oden. I chose this sake because I wanted to keep it light, but.... If I wanted to warm it up, I could have used a more robust Junmaishu or even Honjozo. I'm still learning💦.

On a trip to Shiga, I visited Hirai Shoten. The quaint appearance of the store and the display of products were a sight to behold. Today's bottle was the "Sake Brewer's 3003000 Year Old" (pictured left). The aroma is melon, apple, and pineapple, and the first sip is a punch. It has a mellow sweetness, but the acidity and bitterness make it crisp and refreshing. Delicious. Well, Shiga Prefecture was fun! I'm also looking forward to Kosetsu (I heard it's read as Fouche) on the right side of the photo 😄.

The rice is firm and delicious. It is dry and sharp. The taste is unique to the tankard's direct pumping. It has a high alcohol content of 17-18 degrees. It is made of "Gohyakumangoku" from Toyama with a rice polishing ratio of 60%.

Matsuo Taisha Sake-1 Grand Prix㉗ Since there was only a short time left, we decided to choose one sake from each brewery separately to share! Polishing ratio 70%, Sake degree -1, Alcohol 18%. It has a gaseous taste and is sweet and delicious. I liked it better than the Shiraoi I've had in the past. I might buy it again if I have a chance.

I went to a sake brewery and bought it because I was attracted by the label. It has a refreshing taste with a sour aftertaste. 1,628 yen.

Morishima Sake Brewery. "Make the time you spend drinking sake a happier time." Nice words 🎵. It's a refreshing sake with a delicious rice flavor. It also has a refreshing taste. Thanks to the owner's courteous service, I will have another cup tonight.

Morishima Shuzo Fuji-Taikan Yamadanishiki Junmai Shinshu Shiboritate Nama Shu 720ml Alcohol 15%. Rice used: 100% Yamadanishiki Rice polishing ratio 65 When I came to buy the next one from Abe-san, it caught my eye and I bought it immediately and opened the bottle ^ ^. The first attack is very characteristic. The sweetness soaks through all at once. I thought it was a little too sweet, but then I took a second sip. The second sip. What? You don't feel the sweetness? It's delicious, isn't it? I would like to repeat a bottle, but I think there are only two bottles left. I don't have enough space in my fridge, so I'll give up.

Tokyo's local sake. Trial 300ml bottle. The aroma is unexpectedly fruity, and the mouthfeel is sweet and bitter. Fresh, light, and refreshing? It is easy to drink without any habits. It's quite tasty...I guess it's like a light and delicious sake...I didn't know there was such a Junmai-shu in Tokyo...

Japanese>English

Rice used: Akebono from Okayama Prefecture, Gohyakumangoku from Niigata Prefecture, Yamadanishiki from Hyogo Prefecture This is a new product from a local liquor store. I thought it was a Toyama sake, but it turned out to be an Edo sake. The acidity is strong, and there is a refreshing summery flavor. The bitter and spicy aftertaste is also good. The overall balance is not bad. Sake from Tokyo is not to be underestimated ❗️

Bouken-san told me about it before, and I've become a fan of Watashibune's new sake 😚. But it's made with 100% short-stemmed Watashibune. I think this brand is as good as my favorite Genmai which I opened just before. The aroma is like a grape🍇, and in the mouth you can feel a very thin gas and a gentle sweetness. The aroma and taste are well integrated, and the transparent flavor fades out with a slight bitterness, which is brilliant 😆. Today I paired it with a yose-nabe with agaric broth, and the complex broth of the seafood and the flavor of this sake matched so strangely that I could really linger and eat and drink forever... It's still Monday, so I had to call it quits 😅.

The concept was a sake that young people would want to drink, created by Iwate University students and Iwate Meizou with sake quality in mind. It was a refreshing sweet sake with a gorgeous aroma. The students of Iwate University who were involved in making this sake: ❗️ It is very delicious. Wonderful work. Thank you 😊.

The first sake I found at an Iwate Prefecture antenna store in Ginza. It is a rustic sake with a strong acidity. It also has a freshness that is typical of a freshly stored sake. It goes well with strong dishes.

Tensei 1

Tensei 3

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.

Japanese>English

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 😊.

Japanese>English

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.

Warmed to lukewarm Sourness and alcohol taste My personal preference is about room temperature😸.

Drinking comparison (๑🍶🍶🍶🍶🍶🍶💕) This is what we drank last month 💧. Iwate Prefecture limited, on sale on 25th Koch wins for the opening sound: ❣️ I think the freshness is also Kochi's. ☺️ I think it has more sweetness than fire-roasted.
