Special Junmai
I don't have an image of Kainan City at all.
But if you look at the map
than I had expected.
It was on the north side of the city.
It was more north than Arita City
It was north of Arita City, which is famous for its tangerines.
That's a selfish image.
I'm sorry.
Now, what do you think of the taste?
I guess you could call it dry.
Even if you look at the label
It says "dry" on the label.

When I went to Wakayama in GW
Purchased at a supermarket in front of the station
A little cup next to a bottle of sake
I can choose which one I want to drink.
I sometimes buy a cup because it gives me a choice.
I sometimes buy a cup.
The label is in hiragana
I have chosen "Zoka-no-Sato" for the label.
I am sorry if it is wrong.
Speaking of Zoka
Zoga often appears in the Warring States period, during the reign of Nobunaga.
In Wakayama, there are still place names such as Zogasaki,
There was also an image of activity at sea.
This sake is made
just a little east of Wakayama City.
Ki no Kawashiro City along the Ki no Kawara River.
The company was founded to make vinegar, and later (before the war) started making sake.
When I hear the name "Zoga
I thought it sounded strong
I thought it might be a strong sake, but when I sipped it
When I sipped it
It was unexpectedly mild.
But the aftertaste is not so bad.
I wonder if this taste
Is it related to the vinegar?

When I went to Yamato Koriyama
Purchased at a liquor store
I'm a little confused and puzzled.
According to the Nakatani Sake Brewery's website and
According to the Nakatani Sake Brewery Yanagimachi Brewery
Brewing outside of the Yanagimachi Brewery has already been stopped.
and that they have already stopped brewing except at the Yanagimachi Brewery.
At the sake brewery

The situation and the future of the company
I'll put it to the side...
dance performance held on the third day of the third month of the lunar calendar
It was a sake full of flavor.
From the label
There is a unique sake brewing method called "three-stage brewing" that is unparalleled in the world. After the mother liquor is made, the brewing process is divided into three stages: soe, naka, and tomeme, and the amount of sake to be brewed is increased sequentially. A break is allowed between the "soe" and "naka" stages to allow the yeast to grow. This is called "Odori" and usually lasts for one day. In this product, the odori period is set to two or three days to increase the yeast sufficiently for a strong fermentation. The resulting product has a wider range of tastes and aromas, and a unique flavor.

I brought back some sake from Kainan City.
It is a small bottle, so
The family of three
We drank it up quickly.
It is good for everyday drinking.
It is a junmai-shu with a gentle flavor that has a robust rice flavor and sweetness. The acidity in the umami gives it a nice body that goes down your throat and gives it a hint of fragrance.
By the way, what is Kainan City like?

Golden color!
I flinched for a second.
I'm sorry.
First, at room temperature.
It is as rich as it looks.
But a little crispy too.
The label reads
The label reads, "Made with the traditional "Kimoto" method, which has been handed down since the Edo period.
The five tastes of "spiciness, acidity, sweetness, bitterness, and astringency" are brought out to create a richly flavored sake. The sake is matured for a long time before shipping. The full-bodied acidity makes it ideal for warming sake.
I see.
Perfect for heating sake!
So we had it hot from then on.
The acidity is definitely effective.
It feels like it leaves an afterimage on your lips.
The first image has gone away.
Please try it with hot sake.
Sake from Fukui.
Ono City, though called Fukui, is just over the mountains to the east of Fukui City.

The last bottle I bought in Takehara
Fujii Shuzo's Junmai Unfiltered Nama-shu
Hatsu no Shibori
It's a 18 degree Celsius sake, so it's a bit of a sipping experience.
Chibiri, chibiri, chibiri!
The mouthfeel is a little bit sweet! but at the same time
but it thickens on the palate

I'm sorry.

This is an unfiltered, unpasteurized sake made from Hachitan-Nishiki rice grown in Hiroshima Prefecture. The melt-in-your-mouth candy-like flavor is enhanced by the young acidity that only freshly squeezed sake can produce, and a mild sweetness fills the mouth. This product is brewed quickly.

Here's a record from a little while ago.
When I was in Mihara.
I was in one of the drinking sets.
I drank it while saying it was delicious and tasty.
I don't remember what it tasted like...
Mihara is a station where
The Shinkansen stops here.
The station is on top of a former castle.
and the stone wall still remains.
It is not so much that there is a castle near the station

Brewed in 2017 Bottled in 2022
Solid gold color.
It has a strong flavor.
However, there are few strange habits.
Especially when heated up.
It is a very good sake.
It's good.
Next time
I'd like to find something fresh.
Junmai Seishu Hiden
Hiden" was launched in 1970 to introduce the appeal of junmai sake, sake made only with rice, at a time when it was common to add brewing alcohol to sake. Since then, it has been well received, and in 2016, for the first time since the end of World War II, all of our products in Hiroshima Prefecture are junmai sake.
The golden color of the sake is proof of the rich flavor unique to junmai sake. The aging process gives it even more depth. Please enjoy it as a mealtime sake by heating it up to bring out its best characteristics. It will enhance your food even more.

It was my first Shinkansen trip in a long time (excluding business trips), and I was thrilled.
Mihara - Takehara is a fascinating place to visit.

It would be too much to visit in one day.
Still, I'm glad I went!

First of all, this sake

Emperor of the Night
I like the name.
It goes down smoothly on the palate
but the taste remains.
The old town of Takehara
The old townscape of Takehara, which flourished in the salt fields, still remains.
It is said to be the setting of the anime "Tamayura", but I...am not familiar with it, and as for me
I got excited at the location of the movie "The Girl Who Leapt Through Time" (by Tomoyo Harada) (laugh).
But I digress...
I'll tell you about it next time.
According to their website, "Yoru no Teio" is a restaurant that serves "all kinds of dishes that can be easily adjusted to suit any taste.
It is a versatile sake that can be easily matched with any dishes. It is a mild, mild sake with a pleasant taste, mainly using Hachitan-Nishiki rice, which is the best rice for sake brewing in Hiroshima Prefecture, and taking advantage of the characteristics of soft-water brewing. The alcohol content is kept low while retaining a strong koji and rice flavor.
