Today's dinner drink is 🍶. Ikusakaya Hanpukai Kitamitsu Masamune Fresh and citrusy aroma 🍊 The moment you put it in your mouth, you will feel sweet and delicious, but then the spiciness will spread. Light and smooth on the palate. A subtle umami. It is very refreshing.

Today's dinner 🍶. Continuing from yesterday Hanamaru Junmai Ginjo Sake Mirai Nama The aroma is still gorgeous and elegant, like muscat 🍇. Sweet and tasty and voluptuous, but more rounded and calm than yesterday's. The taste is gently expanding. It makes you want to enjoy the aftertaste. The lingering taste is also finished off by a hint of bitterness. I'll drink it again even though we've run out of Hana Yuu in our house.

Today's dinner was 🍶. While having BBQ Hanamaru Junmai Ginjo Sake Mirai Nama Why with BBQ...? Because I felt that Hanamup has a mellow flavor that can't be beat (lol). Gorgeous aroma like muscat 🍇. Voluptuous, elegant, sweet and delicious taste spreads at once 🥰. I want to drink it again no matter how many times I taste it 🥰. The bitterness that comes slowly. It is a sake that makes you want to drink the next one even though it is voluptuous to the end 🥰.

Today's dinner 🍶 Kuroryu Shuzo KURORYU SAKAHOMARE Junmai Daiginjo The renewed lineup of Kuroryu. This is a new product that changes to a dripping mouth. Refreshing muscat-like aroma. Sweetness with a moderate acidity. The flavor spreads slowly. The taste is a little astringent, which can be felt while enjoying the flavor. It is fresh and tasty even though it is only once heated 🥰.

Today's dinner drink is 🍶. Akabu Shuzo AKABU SNOW 2025 EXTRA Nigori Namaishu Junmai Sake The bottle is reminiscent of snow. Sweet and sour with a clean aroma ✨ Rich gasiness. Not sweet and sour as I imagined from the aroma, but light and refreshingly sweet. Some acidity. The aftertaste is long. Saliva flows out one after another 😆. The slight bitterness gives it a good balance 🥰.

It has a nice sharpness and goes well with the wine.

Ryujin Shuzo Oze no Yukidoke Junmai Daiginjyo Peach Color Nigori I really wanted to introduce it to my brother and his wife 🍶. When I heard they were coming, I decided to wait for them 😆. Sweet and sour, juicy and cuddly aroma ♥️ Sweet, sour and juicy when you drink it. Gassy and fresh 😆. The low alcohol content combined with the lightness of the wine makes the saké go down very well. Last year I drank a whole bottle in one night. I would like to repeat it 🥰.

Sharaku Junmai-shu Unfiltered Nama Slightly acidic. Apple-like aroma 🍎. Sweetness and umami felt all at once. Maybe a little gassy... Sourness is delayed for a moment. There is a lingering aftertaste. Then comes bitterness. Well balanced and delicious.

HIROKI Junmai Ginjo Black Label Nama Fruity aroma: ☺️ I let it sit overnight and the sweetness came out. The first sip of sweetness 🤗 totally different from yesterday 🤔. Then spiciness and bitterness. The taste slowly continues. Matching food? Physical condition? Either way, I think it's changing to my liking 🥰.

I'm having a 🍶 dinner today. Father's Day a day late. For myself though 😆. Tobiroki Junmai Ginjo Black Label Sweet and sour and fruity aroma: ☺️ I can feel the sweetness, but I think it's a bit reserved. The sourness and umami are more in the foreground. It is light, and the bitterness and astringency come gradually. The aftertaste is also very strong. It is fun to drink. I decided to change the sake cups, so I used a boar's mouth and a glass with a wide mouth. Maybe the boar cup goes well with the sake.

Today's dinner drink 🍶 is the first of a series of sakes purchased in 2024. The last of our 2024 sake purchases Niimasa COLORS Viridian, nama yeast, wood vat Junmai Six months without being opened since purchase💦. I thought it would be a shame to leave it on display forever... We are so excited to open the bottle. Gorgeous melon-like aroma 🍈. Sweet, well-balanced acidity, and refreshing 🥰. The aftertaste is smooth and light. Such a light taste. I may have never had such a light taste before. 13% alcohol by volume I'm going to finish it in no time 😆.

Today's evening beverage 🍶. Urasetsugetsuka Junmai Daiginjo 35 I drank 40 last time. I bought a set. The aroma is like a clear green apple. It is sweet, voluptuous, and full of umami. Beautiful taste. The bitterness afterwards is also very elegant. Compared to 40, it is clearer and more elegant. ☺️

Oroku Special Honjozo Nagare Direct Kumi Unfiltered Nama Sake My first Oroku. The aroma is like pineapple. I wonder if it's because it's alky and has a high alcohol content. Fruity and alcoholic aroma. The first thing you feel is the acidity. Then, sweetness, umami, and bitterness. It goes down the throat nicely. The lingering aftertaste is well-balanced and delicious. It would be good to compare it with Urasetsu Getsuka 😆. I feel like they bring out the best in each other 🤲.

Wada Ryutosui Sweet and sour, fruity aroma. Maybe the most unusual of the three... Umami and pungent/bitterness. Yesterday I thought it was sweet... And a long aftertaste. The taste gradually expands 😊.
