Today's dish is from Kangiku's Discovery Series and is made with Gohyakumangoku. This is unquestionably delicious.

Today's rice is from Kangiku's Discovery Series and is called Fusa-Kogane. Compared to yesterday's Koshihikari rice, the taste is much less bland. Yes, it is good.

Koshihikari and 90% polished rice. I wondered how it would be, but then I tried it. It is far above the standard. It is delicious. However, the taste is still a little cloudy. I guess this is common to sake made with rice.

I bought some rock oysters, so I had some Isobojimai. It was a great marriage and doubled the deliciousness. Isojiman is the best even in this inexpensive Honjozo. We are very satisfied!

I bought this set with the Hitachi Nishiki I drank the other day, but the flavors are quite different. This one tastes a little spicier, and my preference is definitely Hitachi Nishiki.

This sake won the Jury President's Award at the Sake Competition. The taste is of a high standard, with a refreshing yet sweet and umami spreading through the flavor. It was very good.

It is a good sake, typical of Aizan, with soft and spreading flavor. As expected of the moon after the rain. Very satisfying.

Shinsei Tangerine. I drank it for the first time. It has a good balance of sourness and umami. It is low in alcohol, but has enough richness.

It is as good as it should be. You can more than taste the refreshing flavor of sake Mirai. The price of over 6,000 yen is a pain, but it is good.

AKABU, the staff recommended Aizan. This is very good. The soft sweetness of Aizan is very nice. The aroma spreads softly, and the aftertaste is great even at the end of drinking.

This is an experimental sake produced by Gobashi only during this season. It is a blend of two types of sake stored in oak barrels, and has a fairly high acidity level. It also has a barrel aroma, or rather, an aged smell, which I don't really like.

14% alcohol by volume, just right. Juicy, not light, but a good spread of flavor and good enough to keep you from drinking too much.

Excellent workmanship, isn't it? There is no mistaking Kangiku, but it is also a wonderful work of art. It is gorgeous and light, and you can drink as much as you want. It is good.

It's been a long time since I've had a "Jyushiyo". It's good as it should be. The price has gone up so much recently, even at the regular price, that it has become difficult to get a hold of it, but I think it is unrivaled.

Brewed in December 2021. It has a little bit of hiney aroma, but it has a nice firm flavor and a certain umami that spreads slowly. I paired it with ayu fish wrapped in kelp, both of which went down a treat. It was a good match.

It is a slightly dry, rich sake with a good balance of umami and acidity. It is a good sake that does not interfere with the meal at all.

I was told to be careful when opening the bottle because it was cloudy, but when I got careless, the bottle flew open with great force. I was lucky that the contents did not spill out. It has a soft sweetness and is delicious.
