Sake My Life
Daishichi Junmai Nama-no-Hashimoto Sake Daishichi Shuzo Nihonmatsu City, Fukushima Prefecture The aroma is a spicy sensation. This is a personal term coined by me, but I would describe it as spicy with a tugging sensation. The taste is as follows, Introduction→Fluffy, fruity, and more of a Japanese floral taste. Middle part→Rough and sharp, perhaps due to the strength of the sake's sake brewing process. Outro→Though the taste is strong on the nose, the lingering aftertaste, which is moderate, disappears quickly. This is a bottle like Mrs. Kurokawa's "My thing". Is this expression correct? I watched "Welcome to Komada Distillery" today, and there was a scene in which the main character makes a unique tasting note, and I wanted to make my own tasting note even if it is not expressed like that. According to the owner, there is a way to enjoy nama sake hot or at room temperature, so let's give it a try. Potherb mustard with nori and pepper chicken. Please try it! (Purchased at Suga Shoten (Hasuda)

Sake My Life
Shinomine Omachi Junmai Ginjo Rinri Nakadori Unfiltered Unrefined Nama Sake Chiyo Shuzo Gosho City, Nara Prefecture The aroma is restrained for an unfiltered unpasteurized sake. Soft and fruity. The mouthfeel is slightly fizzy. The 23rd production of 23BY was just finished on 23/11. It is a new sake. It has a fullness in the mouth that stands out due to the chattering sensation. I am still learning about Omachi, but I think I may be getting to know it a little better. The umami spreads so roundly that it makes you wonder if there is such a thing as Omachi with a strong sharpness. As we often say, we are looking forward to the next 3 days. Please try it. Purchased at Tatsumi Seishudo.

Hizen Kuragokoro Special Junmai Super Dry Omachi Yano Shuzo Kashima-shi, Saga The aroma has alcohol and a wet smell that passes through the nose. It has a gorgeous aroma, but the impression is that it is too strong. The taste is punchy and umami, and it really feels as if the rice is being chewed in the mouth. The sharpness of the dryness of the sake quickly cuts through the lingering aftertaste. It is a mellow dry sake. Try it with hokke. Please try it. (Purchased at Suga Shoten)

Shinkame Junmai Sake Shinkame Shuzo, Hasuda City, Saitama Prefecture A matured aroma that can be recognized from the aroma. Not only beginners but some people may not like it. It gives the impression of being liked by those who can drink whiskey. Drink it at room temperature. The sensation is round and gently spreads in the mouth. It is interesting. It is similar to the Kawashima Sake Brewery's sake. The aroma gives the impression of unpleasant alcohol, but it is pleasantly refreshing. However, it has a heavy umami taste. It has both sharpness and weight. It is sure to be delicious as a heated sake. I'll have it with hokke. Please try it. (Purchased at a liquor store next to Shinkame Shuzo)

Tohoku Izumi Omachi Junmai Kochi Omachi Takahashi Sake Brewery, Yusa-machi, Akumi-gun, Yamagata The aroma is subdued. The aroma is modest, with a slight hint of a brewery's warehouse. The mouthfeel is light and has a good sharpness. I bought it because I want to understand the feelings of omatists who like Omachi, but I can feel a little of the "gentle mellowness" that is often mentioned. It is characterized by a dry mellow taste with a sharpness and a spherical aftertaste that spreads out in the mouth. Serve with yellowtail sashimi. Try it with yellowtail sashimi. (Purchased at Sake Shop Genpachi in Kahoku-machi, Yamagata Prefecture)

Sawa-hime Ginjo-shu [True Local Sake Declaration Inoue Seikichi Shoten, Utsunomiya City, Tochigi Prefecture IWC2022 Champion Sake Winner (2nd time) Gorgeous aroma right after opening the bottle. It makes me want to punch myself for being so preoccupied with Junmai. The wonderful aroma due to the brewer's skill is a direct hit. The mouthfeel reaches the throat quickly and easily. The sharpness is like ripples on the surface of the water. The aroma and a little bit of alcohol also penetrate the nose. It is a new genre of "ooze" that has been created. Because of its gentle sharpness, I wondered whether to match it with oily food. I drank it with fresh baby sardines (ginger and soy sauce). Please try it. (Purchased at Yodogawa Sake Shop (Utsunomiya City).

Hououmida Junmai Ginjo Cold Wholesale Kobayashi Shuzo Oyama-shi, Tochigi First, the aroma. You can feel the gorgeous ginjo aroma. The first thing to taste is a firm sweetness. However, there is also a calmness that does not linger. I have never had such a hiyaoroshi before. It seems that Gohyakumangoku produced in Nanto City, Toyama Prefecture, is used for this hiyaoroshi. As I worked in nearby Kanazawa for two years and have visited nearby breweries and wineries, I feel some nostalgia for the area. I will have a small piece of grilled yellowtail kama with a side dish. It is a gift from my friend Y (Utsunomiya). Please try it.

HANAIYAKU Junmai Ginjo Hanyu City, Saitama Prefecture The aroma and taste are both fruity. I had it with sashimi, but it seems to go well with strong flavored food or carpaccio-like food. The sashimi was a work of art, so I included it here. Sake brewery Eiraku (in front of Omiya Station).

What surprised me was the taste of the introduction. It tastes exactly like an apple. Of course, the sweetness can be felt, but the acidity sharpens the aftertaste and makes the lingering taste refreshing, so it is pleasant to drink. I want to drink it every summer without fail. Let's drink it. Please try it. (Purchased at Suga Shoten (Hasuda)

Eikofuji Junmai Daiginjo Unfiltered Nama-shu Aizan [Rabuman] Exotic Heaven Fuji Shuzo, Oyama, Tsuruoka City, Yamagata Prefecture The aroma is already Yamagata. However, it is lured in by an even richer sweet aroma on top of the rich Yamagata ginjo aroma (my personal name). The taste is a punch of sweetness from the introduction. Very much to my liking. However, the slight effervescence of the raw sake lures you to the next sip. Exotic" is what it means. You can enjoy it with just one bottle. Please try it. (Purchase it at Suga Shoten (Hasuda City).

Tetorigawa Yamahai Junmai Shiboritate Unfiltered Nama-shu Yoshida Sake Brewery Hakusan City, Ishikawa Prefecture This was a gift from Yoshida Sake Brewery for the sake making experience. 2 bottles of the u series honestly exceeded the cost of participation. Thank you very much. The aroma is pleasantly fragrant, reminding me of fermentation in progress. I realize my lack of knowledge that even junmai sake can have such an aroma. The mouthfeel is gaseous, but the flavor is gradually tightened. It has a strong, robust flavor. Along with the acidity, the umami of the rice slowly permeates the palate. Let's compare it with the Yamahai Junmai that is usually sold in stores. Serve with char-grilled chicken. (Received from Yoshida Sake Brewery)

Sake lovers will be interested in it. The taste when cold is smooth and easy to drink like water. The lingering aftertaste has a hint of alcohol. The lingering aftertaste has a hint of alcohol, but when heated up, it turns into something else. It has a taste like this. If you read the above, you will understand that this is a sake suitable for heating up. Serve with grilled horse mackerel with salted malted rice.

Beau Michelle snow fantasy Winter Limited Mild Nigori Nama-nagori-zake Banno Shuzo, Saku-city, Nagano pref. The aroma is juicy and refreshing like muscat. The mouthfeel is refreshing and clean. It is different from the sparkling wine that is popular these days. It has a juicy taste. Champagne tends to have a strong sense of refreshingness, but the fact that it is made with oriza gives it a depth of flavor. It is no exaggeration to say that it is an upwardly compatible champagne served at celebrations. If the bridal industry were to find out about this, it might be a big problem. Naturally, it goes well with meat dishes, so I recommend it during this eventful time of the year. Please try it. Purchase it at Sake Senan Mizukami.

Hana-hato Kijo Nama Nigori Sake Enoki Shuzo, Kure City, Hiroshima Prefecture As soon as the cork is opened, the aroma is gorgeous. It is as if you are in a sake brewery. The liquid level is carefully controlled as it wells up... Even after pouring it into a glass, the bubbles that bubble up are lovely. The word "shwashuwa" is used to describe carbonation, but this sake is "juwajuwa. It is thick and very sweet. However, the sizzle eliminates any unnecessary acidity, leaving only the sensation of sweetness and deliciousness. It leaves only the sensation of "sweet and tasty! The previous sake I had, "Harvest Festival," also uses "Koi Momiji," a sake rice. I am curious about this sake rice. I will have it with stir-fried pork cutlets and bean sprouts. Please try it. Purchased at Sake Senan Suijo.
