Azumamine純米吟醸　美山錦　生

Preferred ★★☆☆☆☆☆☆ The fifth cup of the event. This sake is made from Miyamanishiki, the standard sake rice of this brewery. There were many varieties, and I was torn between junmai ginjo nama and junmai nama, but I went with the junmai ginjo nama, which has a more robust rice flavor. It is true that the rice flavor is very strong. It is easy to drink, with a taste that is neither too sweet nor too spicy, but somewhere in the middle. I had it with soy sauce-based chanko-nabe and takoyaki (octopus dumplings), and it went well with both, so it may not be a good match for many dishes.

The fourth cup of the event. After the super-harsh Shichifukujin, I wanted to try another dry junmai sake, so I chose this one. This one was like water at first, but later I felt a strong alcohol taste. Compared to the Shichifukujin, which was dry but had a mellow rice sweetness and a strong umami flavor, this was a bit thin. It was not my favorite.

Preferred ★★☆☆☆☆☆☆ Third drink of the event. (Right side of the photo) Challenging the ultra-harsh taste of the Kiku no Tsukasa Sake Brewery 1 in pursuit of sharpness. The sake degree is 12 degrees. I was suddenly intrigued by the story of an old man who was drinking nearby, so I decided to give it a try. This is the kind of encounter that makes an event attractive. I had imagined it to be dry and sharp, so I was surprised by its mild taste. I was surprised at the mildly mellow mouthfeel. It betrayed my expectations in a good way, and I think I am going to be addicted to the dry swamp. It has a soft umami of rice, which my husband especially liked. The reasonable price is also great. It would go well with sashimi.

Preference ★★★★☆ First drink of the event. Sake served in JAL international business class. It is gorgeous and fragrant like a Daiginjo, with a fresh sweetness that spreads in the mouth. The sweetness was just to my liking, so much so that I clearly remember how good it tasted even though it was my first drink. I would like to drink this again.

Preferred ★★★☆☆☆☆☆☆ 10/1 Sake Day. Today, we opened a bottle of the rice and agave we received. I was quite excited when I got it because I had been wanting to drink it someday. When I opened the bottle, there was a nice sweet and sour aroma of apples. Unlike ciders (which smell like apples but are not sweet and have a sour and sharp taste), it has a refreshing sweetness like apple juice, and if anything, it has more apple than sake, so it is recommended for those who do not like sake and those who like fruit wine. It might be good to drink it like a juice, and instead of coffee or tea, drink it at lunchtime on holidays. That's how casual I like to drink it. Since it is slightly sparkling, we recommend drinking it crisp and chilled.

Hououmida hiyaoroshi purchased in August. There were two types, Gohyakumangoku and Yamadanishiki, but I bought Yamadanishiki. Perhaps it is because I have been drinking only low-alcohol or sweet sake recently, but it has a strong alcohol taste and no sweetness, giving it a slightly sharp impression. It has a clean aftertaste, so it is good as a food sake. On the second day, it became rounder on the palate with a slightly bitter aftertaste. Today's meal Negitoro rice topped with negitoro Tempura of maitake mushroom

Preferred ★★★☆☆☆☆☆☆ Like a sweet, slightly sparkling white wine. Less sweet than Blue Sapphire. The sweetness is light, with a slight acidity, lush, muscatel and grapefruit-like. Immediately after taking it out of the refrigerator, it has a wine-like mouthfeel, especially because of the gaseous sensation, but once it returns to room temperature, the sake-like rice flavor and alcohol taste become more assertive. It is not too sweet, so it would go well with shellfish or white fish. Today's meal German potatoes Chicken nuggets Blue cheese

Preference★☆☆☆☆ When I visited the restaurant for hiyayoroshi (grated yam) after the Bon Festival when it was still hot, I bought this recommended for a hot day. The alcohol content is 13 degrees. It is smooth, refreshing, watery, and does not interfere with food. Neither sweet nor spicy is assertive, and the slight sweetness of the rice in the mouth and the gentle bitterness that comes afterward fade away quickly. The brewery uses mineral-rich oyster shells to improve the soil, so I would like to try it with fried oysters with a squeeze of lemon.

Preferences★☆☆☆☆ We started with Ohmine's hiyaoroshi Yamadanishiki from among the many autumn sakes we stocked. It has a mellow hiyaoroshi taste with a rounded and rounded flavor without any corners, and you can feel the footsteps of autumn, while its refreshing aroma and minerality are just right for the still hot late summer. The following is a quote from the website. The aroma has hints of muscat and apple, and the rice-derived plump umami, acidity, and layers of minerality bring a deep and long aftertaste. Today's meal Pork and mushrooms simmered in ponzu sauce with grated radish Kinpira burdock Miso soup - eggplant and leek

Preferred ★★☆☆☆☆☆☆ Misato Nishiki was born in the same year as me. I felt a connection with this sake because it is 100% Misato Nishiki, which was born in the same year as me. Personally, I have a strong image of Yamamoto as a very spicy sake, but at a sake strength of +2, it was perfect for summer, as it was easy to drink like water. I felt more alcohol than Omine's summer sake, which also tastes like water. It is usually served in early summer, but this year it was served at the height of summer. I asked the store owner and he recommended this one over Sunshine Yellow.

Preferred ★★☆☆☆☆☆☆ More effervescent than expected and easy to drink with a good balance of sweetness and acidity. Like a white sparkling wine. I was told it would go well with Italian food such as cheese and tomatoes, but it is more of a carpaccio than cheese. Tomatoes go well with it. It is also good with fresh salads and bongolebianco. If you pour it into a glass and leave it for a while, the fizziness will disappear and the taste will change soon, so it is best to drink it immediately after chilling it.

Preference ★★★★★ Polishing ratio 50%. The current president of the company was trained at Takagi Shuzo in Yamagata, and the sake we purchased was a limited edition sake made from a rice called Sake Mirai developed by Takagi Shuzo. I had high expectations for this sake before opening it, and when I tried it, I found it to be extremely tasty. It is soft on the palate and has a gorgeous aroma. The sweetness and umami of the rice spread out, and it had a nice sharpness that I really liked. I want to drink it again. Today's meal Sushi Shijimi clam soup

Taste ★☆☆☆☆☆☆ Polishing ratio 60 Unfiltered, unfiltered, single shot fire-brewed sake. This is a summer edition of the Four Seasons series, which expresses the seasons with the same rice and the same rice polishing ratio. I bought this because I wanted to try a dry sake, which I don't usually choose. I expected it to be drier than I expected, but it was not at all spicier than I imagined, and I rather liked it. Later, I found out that the sake was rated at +3 on the sake scale, which is slightly drier than the sake I usually drink. The initial sweetness of the first saké accentuated the sharpness of the second saké, and the crisp, refreshing taste was perfect for the hot, humid summer. I would like to try more dry sake.

Taste ★★☆☆☆☆☆☆ Polishing ratio 50%. I really liked Shiboritate Senryu, so I bought this summer sake to try the other Eikofuji. It has a gorgeous daiginjo-style aroma and a sweet flavor that spreads the sweetness of the rice, but it also has a pleasantly bitter aftertaste. I drank it with a friend who does not usually drink sake, and she said it was delicious and easy to drink. I preferred the Senryu, which was sweeter and more umami, but it was also a good summer drink. Recently, I have been drinking a lot of unfiltered nama sake at festivals.

Preference ★★★★★ Polishing ratio 60 I had it with a meal, but I prefer it on its own or as a mealtime sake. There is no sake degree listed on the label, but a quick internet search suggests it is about +2. It has a mild sweetness with a bitter aftertaste when cold right out of the refrigerator, and a mild spiciness when slightly warmed up, both of which I liked. The aroma is subdued in the glass, but as soon as you put it in your mouth, its gorgeousness spreads softly, and the softness of the mouthfeel is very much to my liking. I would like to use this bottle regularly with a wide range of meals, such as rolled egg, simmered vegetables, and deep-fried tofu. Today's meal Fried sweet pepper and eggplant with pork miso Tempura of chicken with ume paste and shiso Maitake mushroom and tofu miso soup

Polishing ratio 65 Purchased because of the fireworks label. The aroma is subdued. Sourness and a hint of bitterness. It is neither sweet nor spicy (more on the sweet side?). As the name "Sarasara Junmai" suggests, it is low in alcohol and smooth. I am not sure if this is the right word, but I felt it was "thin. I preferred Nakatori No. 2, which is also a Tenmei.
