大倉、嘉美心などの濃厚旨口で日本酒にハマり、いろいろ飲み漁った結果、今は料理を引き立てる、香り控えめな食中酒をよく飲んでます。 甘くて香りの派手なお酒は、食前酒としてたまに飲むぐらいです。

たけさん#Grandfather's Drink The jacket and name of this sake might lead one to expect it to be spicy and lacking in flavor, but that is exactly what Shizuoka sake is like. It has just the right amount of umami, the aroma doesn't interfere with the food, and the aftertaste is just the right amount of spiciness for a great balance. The jacket makes it look like a cheap shot, but it's not.

たけさん#HomeDrinking This is the best food sake! It is not flashy, and the taste and aroma are mild from start to finish. The graininess and the rough texture add depth to the flavor. It can be served with sashimi, but I would definitely pair it with salted grilled fish or boiled vegetables. I have a few favorite food sake such as Kaygetsu, Wataya, Hakuryu, Ariiso, Drunken Whale, etc., but this Hakubanishiki came in from a different angle 😆.

たけさんHmmm, what about this one? It has a sake feel, but there is almost no umami, acidity, or pungency. It doesn't have that "just plain hot" kind of tingling sensation, and it's like you're consuming alcohol in a calm, unobtrusive way. It may go well with anything because there is no assertion at all, but it is not interesting to drink a sake that doesn't say anything at all. If it were a mobile suit, it would be Jim.

たけさんIt's delicious! It has just the right amount of umami right from the start, and keeps that umami all the way through, until the umami fades out and the pungent spiciness gradually remains. The haze is not so much that it bothers you, and you can take it as umami without any muddiness. This is perfect with chicken sashimi!

たけさんI had a bad feeling about this wine because of its oshantey jacket, but it is not fruity in the common sense and is not overly flamboyant. It is slightly effervescent, dry with a long finish, and sharp yet flavorful. I like this kind of dry wine. It would go well with white meat sashimi. However, I'm eating chicken sashimi right now, and I think the sake might be a bit overpowered by the sashimi.

たけさんThe aroma is a bit sweet, and the flavor is a bit sour with a hint of yamahai, so it would be better to drink it with dried fish in a hiya than to drink it by itself. I don't think it is particularly tasty, but I think there are many situations in which this sake can be used to its fullest.

たけさん#Drinking at home This is definitely an Okura, but it has a gentle elegance rather than a wildness. Of course it has acidity, but the sweet flavor and Oumachi aroma come through with a bang. It's gentle among Okura, so it's good as a chaser after drinking a strong one like #8 yeast at the Okura Festival.

たけさんThis is special! The moment you put it in your mouth, you get an aroma that is right between Nara-zuke and toilet, and the toilet aroma gradually fades away in the second half of the bottle. Taste-wise, it is full of umami and slightly sour, and if you like umakuchi, you will enjoy it. However, this is only if you can separate your sense of taste from your sense of smell. If you can't separate them, you should try something else. If you can separate them, but you can't enjoy it without separating them, you should try something else. If you like this unique toilet aroma, you will love the taste. I don't know.

たけさん#Drinking at home Although it is neither fresh nor new sake, it has a slightly spicy feel, a little less floral than Tohoku sake, and is not as spicy. A little more umami would be great, but as is typical of Kochi sake, it has a crisp finish. Not bad, but I wouldn't drink it again.

たけさん#Drinking at home Okura is a mass of flavor and acidity, but this one has a very strong acidity, and the atmosphere is like, "If you don't like Okura, don't drink it! Don't drink it if you don't like Okura! Of course, Okura lovers can't get enough of it, and this is the quintessence of Okura! I think it is the best sake in Japan to go with Nara-zuke.

たけさん#Drinking at home I like Touhoku Izumi because it is mildly umakuchi but also has a gentle floral flavor that is typical of the Tohoku region. This slightly omachi has the same gentle flavor and aroma of Omachi, a great combination of the best of both worlds. I love it!

たけさんThis is special! The yeast is Yamanokami, the rice is Rohafu, the rice is 95% polished, and the sake is brewed in 8 stages. It's not aged, but it's bright yellow, it's not aged, but it has a slight matured taste, it's sweet and thick and has no sharpness at all. Maybe it goes well with sticky cheese or something. I don't dare to buy a bottle and take it home! LOL!
