Kuroryu Jungin
I found a bottle of Kuroryu at my favorite liquor store in Komae.
I have recently been buying only gorgeous and fruity types of sake, so this was the first time in a while that I have had a dry, royal style sake.
I got the limited edition of Takachiyo at Ikesei, but it really looks like orange juice!
I got it with some menchikatsu from Satou in Kichijoji, which I bought at a special event. I ate 3 of them because they were not greasy.
Taisetsukei Kuradashi Unpasteurized Sake
This is a famous sake from Azumino, Nagano. I drank it at the inn and enjoyed it so much that I decided to buy it as a souvenir for myself. It is a little strong and has a strong taste. I will drink it slowly and savor it.
My son seemed to have received it at work, and I gratefully accepted it. It has been a long time since I have had a dry sake, but it is full-bodied. I like the taste.
Akabu-AKABU" Sake from Morioka, Iwate
It has become a habit to buy something at Ikesei's sake shop Yamada before going home for the holidays. I bought some salted amaebi (sweet shrimp) at the Okazu market.
Isshaku Suisei Junmai Ginjo
Iburi Gakkoto and Nama Kinman (Kitty version)
Enjoyed a trip back to Akita. Ippakusuisei has a mellow aroma and a refreshing aftertaste. It was a moment of bliss.
Yamamoto Yamamoto Junmai Ginjo Kiki Uki Uki Uki Uki Uki Uki Uki Namaigori Nama Sake
Yamamoto is recommended by my father, who is a henkotsu (a skewered fried food) shop owner in Akita.
I found a light nigori at a liquor store in Komae. It tastes fresh and spring-like!
