Tonight, our first series of this brand from Oshu City, Iwate Prefecture. Okuroku Junmai Ginjo-shu Namahashime Unite 2023BY✨. The aroma is a mild, almost odorless barb 🌿 The taste has a pleasant acidity and sweetness on the attack, with a nice, nourishing umami flavor. The second half is quite sharp with a pungent alcohol taste lingering in the back of the throat. It was very perfect as a food wine 😋😋😋😋.

Morioka! First issue. Treasure these encounters. It is refreshing but has a full-bodied aftertaste. I wonder if it is a bit like a sake yeast yeast yeast yeast yeast yeast. Is it like a sake with soup? It is a perfect food sake for soup with appetizers. It's delicious! The first set of dishes was also stylish and delicious.

Special Junmai🍶Lotus🪷Hitomebore from Hiraizumicho🌾. Souvenir sake from my trip to Iwate-Aomori 😆 Crisp, with a strong acidity like a sake yeast yeast yeast yeast. It is crisp and has a strong acidity, as if it is a sake made from sake yeast. When ponzu (Japanese citrus juice) is paired with it, the acidity is softened and the flavor is delicious. Also paired with shabushabu-shabu (bean sprouts) from Owani Onsen, a souvenir of my trip to Aomori, Iwate. Wakaba Sake Shop, which was introduced to us at the Badalone restaurant in Hanamaki, was a wonderful store with a wide selection of sake and detailed explanations ✨. Buy local sake at Wakaba Sake Shop @ Hanamaki and drink at home 20240130

This sake was given to us by a visitor to Kobayashi Sake Brewery in Niigata, which is famous for its signature Akita dog. It is slightly sweet and has a subtle rice flavor, and although it was made in December 2010, it does not have an aged feel and is refreshing and easy to drink. It has a slight peach and lactic acid flavor. I think it is one of the most delicious alcoholic sake.

National Sake Fair 2025 in Osaka_55 Fukui Prefecture Booth ⑦ Hatakeyama Sake Brewery is located in Imajo, an inn town in Minami-Echizen-cho, Nanjo-gun. Representative brands are Yuki Kirara and Hyakkibune. ◉Yuki Kirara Sakahomare Junmai Daiginjo The flavor is citrusy, acidic, and slightly reminiscent of yogurt. It is quite likeable and delicious. It is a small brewery with only three people working on it, but they will be awarded the Kura Master Platinum in 2023 for this sake. When I drink Sakahomare, I often associate it with yogurt with citrus.

National Sake Fair 2025 part52 Fukui Prefecture⑥ Hatakeyama Sake Brewery in Minami Echizen Town Snow Kirara has been bartered with Mr. Jive for a drink in the past. Polishing ratio 40%, SakaHomare 15%, Sake degree +1, Acidity 1.8 3,630 yen Beautiful and muscat-like. I thought it was interesting to see the gap between the sake quality and that of the rough or first pressing 🤔. I forgot to take a picture of it, so I borrowed it from Mr. Neemuchi.

This is a special Junmai Nama Genshu with a rice polishing ratio of 60%. First of all, the fruity ginjo aroma that is typical of freshly squeezed sake is a nice touch. The first impression you get when you drink it is a refreshing, fresh and gentle sweetness that only sake can provide. It's a sweetness like strawberries that I've never tasted before - I think this is a taste that only freshly pressed sake can give you. It's delicious!

Well balanced. Not too flashy and easy to drink. There are three breweries in Sagae, but it is fun to compare them. It depends on each person which is the best. That is also good. I like "Chiyo" because it is feminine. My opinion.

Welcome party, the second. Many local people do not know what kind of local sake is available, so as the Sake-no-Wa-Uwa-Uwa-tai, we brought some to the company's drinking party to convey the charm of this sake. This one was brewed by Nakajima Sake Brewery, a 100 stone sake brewery in Okunoto, using Azuma Sake Brewery's facilities in Komatsu, which is in the midst of the excitement of the Shinkansen bullet train opening. Nakajima's gentle umami and Azuma's sharpness. It's a good taste. It's a nice taste.

(*^o^*)🍶🍶🍶🍶 Drink and Support 📣✊. We received sake from the Nakajima Sake Brewery, whose store and other facilities were destroyed by the Noto Peninsula earthquake and suffered extensive damage. This is the first time we have received sake from this brewery. The aroma is mild😊The flavor of the rice fills your mouth 😋 after a light sweetness, it finishes with a slight acidity and bitterness 😘. It was a delicious sake with a robust flavor, yet light to drink 😚👍.

Hearing that Kanazawa is in the midst of a tourist slump, the wife and I went to Kanazawa Oden, and I had mixed feelings about being able to easily get into a restaurant that usually has a long line. A few restaurants were closed temporarily. Kanazawa was hardly damaged by the earthquake, and I hope everyone will come to Kanazawa! Now, Senmaida, rice from Senmaida in Wajima is partially used. Although it is junmai, it is not that heavy and easy to drink. It is light and crisp. The wife also likes it. The waitress said there were only 3 bottles left and that she would not be able to drink them for a while! We hope it will come back.

Sake Rice Hokuriku Series. This time, the tori is Hyakumangoku No, developed by Ishikawa Prefecture, and the 24th brewery in the prefecture? Noto Honor. Is it a characteristic of Noto Honor or Hyakumangakkino White? It is fruity, but I think it is a classic sake.

Gifts from Mom #5 The surrealistic labeling of "On a night like this..." is unbearable. Uitate aroma is fruity and citrusy. The mouthfeel is tangy gas on the tongue with a good sweetness & acidity. The aftertaste has some alcohol, but the bitterness is pleasant again! The aftertaste is not too long, and you can go on and on. After all, on a night like this... it's delicious! Thank you for the food!

Sour and sweet per se. Thins to mid-palate, perfect for a night like this.
