A bottle given to me by my son's wife's family.
It has a strong aroma when drunk chilled, so we served it warmed.
The aroma is less intense and the sweetness is more pronounced when the sake is heated.

Following the Kaze no Mori I mentioned earlier, a new sake from my favorite sake brewery, Saku.
I opened the 2024 bottle, the same as last year.
It does not have the carbonation of the previous Kaze no Mori, but it has a fruity aroma and a spiciness from the sweetness.
However, the fruity aroma and the spiciness from the sweetness are perfect.
I think the best way to end the year is with sake while watching Kohaku (red and white rice).
It is the best way to end the year.
We look forward to serving you again next year.

At the end of the year, after work, we had a drink at home while watching Kohaku.
I opened a bottle of Kaze no Mori for the first time in a while.
Melon aroma, sweetness from the slight carbonation, and a bit of spiciness.
The carbonation is very refreshing.
It goes well with Western-style dishes.
It is a delicious drink.

Closed today.
Tomorrow, New Year's Eve, and New Year's Day are workdays.
So, for today's drink, I selected a sake that I prepared for the New Year's Eve and New Year's Day.
It is a local sake, Junmai Orikarami from Yamori.
First, we tried it without mixing ori.
The dishes are sashimi, yakitori (grilled chicken), wasabi, and simmered dishes.
The fruity aroma is faintly fragrant, and the sweetness and spiciness spread to the palate, which is then cut off by the spiciness.
Next, when I mixed in the ori, the overall flavor and aroma became mixed.
It was a mellow change.

Today's drink is a sake that goes well with the fish from Hitakami, which we bought at the festival of our recent trip to Sendai.
It is served with sashimi, aji (horse mackerel) and fried amaebi (sweet shrimp).
After the sashimi, the spiciness comes first on the palate, and then it breaks off cleanly.
The aroma is not strong, and only the umami flavor remains, eliminating the sense of the sashimi's rockiness.
It is a delicious cup.

I bought a bottle of Tetorigawa Junmai Daiginjo on my trip to Kanazawa last week.
It is served with sashimi, grilled hokke and chikuzen-ni.
When the bottle is opened, the gas escapes.
The aroma is not fruity, but rather matured and fermented.
It has a deliciously spicy flavor with little sweetness.
It has a heavy feeling that one would not expect from a 14% alcohol content.
ps: The comparison was the Daishinshu Junmai Daiginjo Hiyoroshi that I posted last time.
When opened, the drink started out spicy, but as time passed, the spiciness turned to sweetness and the deliciousness increased.
Sake is a strange drink.

Sake purchased in Matsumoto on a trip last week.
A bottle I have wanted to try for a long time.
It is a Junmai Daiginjo from Daishinshu.
When drunk cold, the spiciness was strong at first, but as it warmed up, the spiciness turned to sweetness.
I adjusted the temperature to match today's appetizers (Aji Nanban, Yakitori, Amaebi Karaage).
The umami was strongly felt, and the sake was easy to drink.
