Citrusy and refreshing. It was slightly effervescent, so I had a schwirl on the first drink.

Tsuchida Shuzo, my favorite sake brewer. I guess this one is positioned as a standard food sake.
I sipped it cold 🍶.
I enjoyed it while thinking that I would prefer a little more acidity and complexity.
Later, I warmed it up a bit and sipped it 🔥 No, I prefer it this way. It has a nice, mellow, full and gentle taste.
I enjoy sakes that can be enjoyed in many different ways 😊.

After work, I went to a liquor store in a department store. The brewer of Harushika was there and gave us a tasting of three varieties. I was given a seasonal one and bought the one I thought tasted the best. The name "Harushika" comes from the fact that the brewery used to serve the Kasuga Taisha shrine located near the brewery in Nara, and from the story that the gods would come to the shrine riding on a deer.
It's not the season spring, is it?
I took a bite of it as soon as I got home.
It smells fresh, but it is not so gorgeous or sweet. It was rather refreshing.
It was the kind of sake that I would drink in the summer when I was sweating.

The last sake of the day is hot sake.
I guess this sake is only for heating up.
It is crisp, dry, and has a tight impression.

The name and label are eye-catching.
It is an unfiltered unpasteurized sake made from Tokushima Prefecture's Yamada-Nishiki and Omachi out-of-spec rice.
It has a refreshing taste.
Japanese>English
まこつ
It has a freshness that is only possible with nama-shu, but it also has a refreshing sharpness that allows it to be drunk easily without disturbing the meal.
The rice used is Yamadanishiki produced in Hyogo Prefecture.
The yeast is Ibaraki's traditional Ogawa yeast (No. 10).
From the website
Although it is a single-brewed sake, it is finished at a low 15°C to give it a soft taste. Please enjoy the gentle aroma derived from Ogawa yeast and the deep flavor of Yamada Nishiki.

Fresh cloudy sake. Tastes beautiful even with a low milling ratio of 90%.
It has a juicy taste like melon or muscat. It has a subtle bitterness, but is pleasantly gentle on the palate, which I like.

Kenkon'ichi特別純米辛口
まこつ
Clear and dry. Sake that is easy to drink.
We had a sake from Miyagi with a bottle of Hidakami.
From the website
This is a standard sake of Kenkunichi. Enjoy it at room temperature or warmed up when it is fresh and has matured over the summer. It is best enjoyed with Miyagi's food with a sense of the season. The quality of sake that you will never get tired of drinking has never changed.

It has a clean taste with a slight bitterness that lingers on the palate. Father of Yamada Nishiki.
From the website
This is a limited edition sake made from "Short-stalked Watabune," the father of Yamada-Nishiki, the "King of Sake Rice. Although it claims to be junmai, its rice polishing ratio is 60%, as polished as junmai ginjo.
The aroma has nuances reminiscent of lychee and white peaches, and despite being junmai, it has a beautiful and gorgeous aroma. When you sip it, the fresh acidity from the aroma and a hint of sweetness are well balanced, and the taste is calm yet firm with a core.
The best time to enjoy this sake is when it is cooled down from room temperature.
It enhances the delicate flavor of Hidakami.
It is an excellent partner for grilled fish and sashimi.
Rice used: Short-stalked Watabune, Polishing: 60%.

BY30 of Chikutsuru at home on the last day of Golden Week.
We had samgyeopsal for dinner, so I took it out of the bottle and thought it would go well 😅.
It is not overpowered by the richness of meat and fish, and goes well with blue cheese.
I drank it with hot sake. Mellow and mellow, with a surprisingly sour taste. I really like how it tastes as it gets lukewarm from there, and the flavor gradually becomes more three-dimensional and mellow. It is a happy taste. 4

I received a bottle of Kikuhime-sama. I went to the liquor store after work to give my colleague some sake as a retirement gift. Well, I bought one for myself, too. I bought three bottles to drink during Golden Week.
Otoko-shu" has a mellow and powerful flavor. It is a pioneer brand of Yamahai.
It has a softly spreading umami flavor, but it is not complex, so it goes well with a variety of dishes. I warmed it up to lukewarm for now. I will enjoy it in various ways from now on.
