The rice used is Hitogochiki from Nagano Prefecture. Refreshing and crisp aftertaste, just like a summer sake. The sweetness is moderate, but the umami is also present in its own way. It is a sake that needs to be cooled down to the perfect temperature.

Today is my day off, so I took a walk around Sunpu Castle, Kunouzan Toshogu Shrine, and Nihon Taira! I've always wanted to visit Kunouzan and Nihondaira, but the view of the Pacific Ocean and Mt. Fuji from Nihondaira is fantastic👍. On the way home, I took a sip. When I opened the bottle, it had a melon-like aroma. The mouthfeel is refreshing, but the melon-like sweet and astringent taste comes through in a jiffy, giving it a gorgeous flavor. However, the assertion itself gradually settles down and changes to a spiciness, so it is not too heavy for a nama-zake and is easy to drink! Tomorrow is the second half of Shizuoka life. I'll do my best!

A series of pioneering local dry junmai sake 💪. First bottle 🍶. The one from my hometown. High aroma, dry with a lot of acidity. The blue label junmai ginjo was fruity, but this one is something else. But this one is just as good. 300ml, about 550 yen (?) without tax

Rice used is Kinmon Nishiki Meikyojo-jimizu" is another brand of Osawa Sake Brewery. This is a good sake. ❣️ It has strength and acidity that is typical of a sake brewed from a traditional sake yeast stock, and the aging process has given it a round umami taste. It has a moderate alcohol content, and this flavor is very relaxing. I want to drink it again!

A sense of maturity. Not very sweet. The flavor expands when the temperature is set to 40℃.

🍶 Nagano. I got a PC to use on a business trip, so I was working on Sunday (company animal). I brought it to Nagano anyway because it might recover from a blue screen🟦. I wanted to talk about how I brought it in the heavy rain and Sunday's mess, but I had a lot of time for meetings on Monday. I was so tired on this business trip that I didn't have the energy to explore new places, so I went to a standing bar that I went to last time. Yeah, I'm fine with standing if I can drink 😆. From Daishinshu, which I was curious about last time I was here. Very, very, very tasty. Almost chugged it down😅. I'm happy to drink Kame no Umi again 😃. Beyond the first two, the most delicious sake of the day was "Seki". It is a sake from Meikyojosui sake brewery and is almost impossible to find. The store here also took a year and a half to get it after they found out about it. it's made in 2019 and aged, but the taste is more subdued than aged (I'm not sure about the vocabulary, but they said the lightness of Jun Dai is grounded, to bring out the best of Kinmon Nishiki) and the rice has a great flavor, not sweet or sour, but just... Delicious! It's just delicious! I had to have another one 😋.

Light and sweet. The sweetness reminds me of bubble gum with the flavor of apple. The aftertaste is clean, short and slightly dry. Very enjoyable to drink on a warm evening.

I've been wanting to try this drink for a while ✨. Here, Nagano sake is rarely seen in liquor stores or supermarkets, but I found this at a nearby supermarket 👀 some kind of fair ❔. I love these classic and classy labels ♡. The taste is just like a classic sake 🍶. I didn't really feel the Nagano character, but it's an all-rounder that accepts a variety of snacks👍.

It was my first time to try Usuzakura. I missed the chance to buy nama sake, so I bought hiyaoroshi. The rice is Ginfuki. It has a relaxed atmosphere. The aroma is a little fruity. It has a mild sweet umami taste. Is it sweet among the Hiyaoroshi?

100% Yamadanishiki from Hyogo Prefecture, with wine yeast. It is said that the name "Sora no Tsuru" comes from a dream of riding a beautiful "crane" soaring in the sky. Wine yeast is great because it makes rice sweet and sour! The top aroma is of grappa and rum raisins. When swirled, it smells of plum. The flavor is very sweet and sour, like plum wine. The color is a pale yellowish hue like lemon pulp, the legs are short and weak.

It is a sake from Akashi City, Hyogo Prefecture. It is only available directly in the city, and there are only a limited number of stores where you can drink it. I found it at a store selling Hyogo products in Kobe Hankyu in Sannomiya and bought it. How does it taste? It does not have the harshness of the original sake. It has a chocolate-like aroma. It has a rich sweetness, with spiciness and astringency chasing after it. The chocolatey and caramel-like aroma that passes through the nose is delightful. If you let it air a little, it becomes more brightly sweet and fragrant. It is simple, but quite flamboyant. How about if you heat it up? It tastes like chestnuts and is easy to drink! The spiciness that comes out volatilely and the refreshing sweetness that comes in quickly. It has a rich and expressive taste. It is really good. The aftertaste is also refreshing and sharp with a nice sweetness. I think it is especially good when heated. I have now completed a round of the 70-odd breweries in Hyogo Prefecture (and have 300 reports to my name)! It took me two years to complete this feat. It was a long but enjoyable journey. I will continue to enjoy Hyogo sake (and Fukui sake as well) slowly and carefully, and hope to one day become an evangelist for good Hyogo sake...

a gift It was the first time I had ever had a fresh one in Honjozo. The mouthfeel is like mint? I've never had it before, but it's interesting. I think it leaves a little bit of a cloying taste at the end.

Last night was a New Year's party with a couple I met last year. We had dinner at a nice restaurant and then went to Kokubuncho. After the fourth bar, I finally had a chance to drink sake. I have known the owner of this sake bar on the outskirts of the city for about 25 years now. The lighting doesn't look like it's the kind of place you'd enjoy sake, but don't worry about that. The selection is quite good, so go for something you've never tried before. First up is Hiryu, the one with Tatsumi Fujinami's red towel. A dry sake with a refreshing yet tasty flavor, just like Mr. Shinzawa! Thank you very much for your hospitality!

My best friend gave me a small bottle to share with my last drink 😆👍. By the way, my best friend's wife recommended it to me. She likes it dry 😄. It's been a long time since I've had a dry sake, but I'm ready to try it💦. The aroma is fruity👍. I'm not a fan of too much dryness, but it was a good experience 🤗.
