Rosé wine-like colored sake brewed with red yeast.
Attracted by the sake degree of -40 degrees, I tried it.
It was a light, sweet and sour sake.

At the end of this year, I went skiing with my family. After the children finally went to bed, we started to enjoy the wine with Hana-yosu.
It has a fruity flavor, but you can also taste the delicious bitterness of the rice.

Thank you 🦓 for the gift.
The packaging is eye-catching. The origin of the name is written on the back of the package.
It has a refreshing taste, which is typical of the raw sake made from gohyakumangoku (five hundred million stones), and it seems to go well with a variety of foods as a food sake. My personal preference would be for a little more sweetness and mellowness.

Sake 🍶 and crab 🦀 for dinner today
Hairy crabs from Hokkaido arrived at Furusato. I had a hunch that it would go well with Tsuchida's sour sake. I rushed to the liquor store on a hunch. It turned out to be a great decision.
I had it at room temperature today, wondering whether to heat it up or not.
The richness of the crab miso and the acidity of the sake's original sake brewing process go well together.
This sake has a strong sourness with a delicious flavor, giving the impression of apple cider vinegar. Tsuchida Shuzo's sake makes me want to drink it regularly.

Creation.
I stopped by the Starbucks next to the department store and found a section selling sake, so I grabbed it 😅.
Fruity, sweet, refreshing, and so delicious that I couldn't help but drink a lot of it 🌟.

During Golden Week, I am traveling to Yamanashi, so I will have a sake from Yamanashi that I found in a supermarket.
The sake is made from Yamada-Nishiki produced in Yamanashi prefecture and polished to 50% by our own rice polishing machine.
It is a crisp and refreshing sake for a meal.

We opened a bottle of Kaze no Mori today for drinking at home 🍾.
The lid pops open like a pop and gives a sense of freshness.
Fruity aroma and firm umami. The bitterness comes later and has a depth of flavor.
It seems like you get drunk faster than you think, or maybe you drink too much😅.

Sunday dinner with family at soba noodles restaurant 🍜.
Of course I wanted to eat soba, but I also wanted to drink sake 🍶.
We had 🍺, assorted sashimi, and soba noodles. We chose Kikuhime as our sake. It is rich and mellow, yet fresh. It was a sake with a strong sense of umami and acidity.

I ordered the Daiginjo from the Sushiro🍣 menu. It came in a small bottle with a glass.
I wasn't expecting much since it was reasonably priced in the 500 yen range, but it tasted like it was doing its best to live up to its price.
The taste is not deep, but it is easy to drink.
But I don't think I will drink it a second time😅.

The brewer was visiting a department store to explain about his brewery. I'm from deep in the mountains of Kyoto! He explained in good spirits and very politely.
We decided to have a drink at a friend's house after the cherry blossom viewing was canceled due to rain.
The sake is brewed traditionally and by hand in the village of Kitayama cedars and clear streams.
Freshness with a firm sweetness. I also enjoyed the lingering aftertaste.

I went skiing in Niigata and compared local sake 🍶.
Yukio has a sharp finish with umami flavor.
I liked it a lot because it was light and dry with a touch of umami ☺️.
After that, we had some Echigo beer and went home on the bullet train in a good mood 🚄.

Skiing in Niigata⛷No need to worry about driving as we take the bullet train to and from. This means I can't help but drink sake... What a surprise! There is a spot in the ski resort where you can compare the different types of sake 🤗.
So we compared local sake until the bullet train home.
I had the crisp, dry Takachiyo 🍶.

A new team is formed at the company. It has been a while since everyone came to the office for a meeting. And afterwards, it's sake 🍶.
Takagi Sake Brewery's sake, Jyushiyo Honjozo.
It tastes like ginjo-shu itself.
A very precious bottle.
It is an excellent sake with a great standing aroma and a good balance of sweet and spicy tastes.

Since it is springtime, I bought it because of the package and the name. I was told that "Uki Uki" is a phrase that came to mind when I thought of spring. I know the feeling 😌.
The taste is light and schwaggy, with less sweetness than expected and just a little bit of sharpness. The name "Uki Uki" implied a bit more sweetness, which was a bit surprising.
It looks like we will be able to see cherry blossoms soon 🌸🍶.

Working after a three-day weekend is kind of tiring😅And with the snow and cold weather coming back, I can't help but drink sake. I drink sake even when it's not cold...
Today's sake is from Tsuchida Shuzo. This is the second bottle I have received after Shintschida.
I got the impression that Tsuchida Sake Brewery is making use of the power of nature to create new sake while preserving tradition. You can see from their website that they are not only following trends but also their own style.
Tsuchida12 was first served cold. It has a firm acidity. It was like apple juice 🍎. It was different from the fruity taste of the raw sake, and I felt like I was drinking a new type of sake.
Next, we warmed it up to lukewarm. The umami flavor blooms. Even when heated, the sake was still aromatic and delicious.
It went well with today's dinner, beef stew. My wife loved the Yamamoto Iburi Gako that we secretly purchased.
If there is someone who is not fond of sake made using the traditional "nama-hashimoto" method, I would like to recommend this sake to him or her.

It's getting warmer 🌸The third round of vaccines has been completed successfully, again with no adverse reactions👍.
And open a bottle of Red Takeshi 🍾.
Gobble...
Strong sweetness, umami, light bouncing freshness. It has a strong sweetness, umami, and a light bouncy freshness. I like it 😊.
I had the impression that the umami and bitterness would increase a bit after a little time. It is delicious🙆♂️
Quote from the back: "Sake Mirai" from Yamagata Prefecture is used. It has a refined sweetness and a mellow aftertaste. Aiming to create sake that will be handed down to a new generation, AKABU's dream challenge for the future continues...

Thank you for your comment 😊

I finally finished my tax return 💰I've been trying to finish it early every year, but this year I'm too late😅.
It wasn't exactly a reward for finishing, but we drank Senkou for dinner 🥂.
First sip, "Hm? The acidity is pretty strong." My wife said, "What's a sparkling wine like a white wine?" I was so happy to see it. Yes, indeed.
I drank it as a food wine, feeling that the taste would be overpowered by the steak we had for dinner tonight, and it went surprisingly well with it!
The sweetness of the wine was enhanced and I could feel the sweetness in the back of the bottle.
Then, feeling better, I heated up a can of grilled sardine ajillo and had a hot glass of Fukuoka's Morinokura. Nice marriage here, too 🍶.
