Kankiku Ocean Ninety-Nine Hakuginkai The only nigorigo of Kankiku. Lactic acid bacteria soda-like as written. Mr. Yanagishita, the toji, originally worked as an aircraft mechanic for JAL at Narita Airport, but his attachment to his hometown of Chiba and his desire to "do work that only I can do" led him to the path of sake brewing. After joining Kangiku Meikozo in the beer brewing department, he was selected to be the toji (master brewer), even though he had no experience, when the previous master brewer retired. He initially trained under his predecessor and is now in charge of sake brewing as a toji. The name "Kangiku" is said to have come from the appearance of Kangiku (chrysanthemums that bloom in winter), which bloom strongly and beautifully even in the coldest season.

Gokyo Sakai The label said it was a five, not a Z. It was a little confusing. I thought it was sweet and sour and had a strong rice flavor. When I was drinking at Shashasha, the next door neighbor was the nearby Shinonome Sake Shop, so I went there as well. The name "Kintai-kyo" comes from Kintai-bashi, a five-storied wooden warped bridge spanning the river that flows through Iwakuni City. It is named with respect for the beauty of the structure and with a meaning like "a bridge that connects hearts and minds.

Bunraku Kitanishi From name of representative I had about an hour to wait for the bullet train. I sometimes have Sairai. It was cold and dry. It was a love affair with Bunraku, a form of puppet theater. The name was derived from the founder's wish to reflect the trinity of "Gidayu, shamisen, and puppeteer" in the world of sake.

scented insert (to enclose with a letter) Since some of the guests were not accustomed to drinking sake, I thought it would be better to use a lighter type, so I went with the sparkling type. The taste was lighter than I expected. It was a second type, which was more to my taste, but it was delicious. Sentori is a bird that serves hermits. Crane The first type is a fast brewer's yeast, and the second type is a sparkling sake.

Sotogahama Nishida Modern taste and delicious. I like Nishida-san, who is well known for his Tasake, because he is willing to try new techniques. This black-and-white picture shows a young brewer in his "20s" who is entrusted with the entire production process. This is a sake made by young brewers, who make sake by their own ingenuity without any instructions from the toji (master brewer). The name "Sotogahama" comes from a place called "Sotogahama" on the east coast of the Tsugaru Peninsula.

Meliosma myriantha Quite ripe banana. Smells like banana flavoring made from flowers rather than banana in sake flavor. Tastes sweet too. I wanted to drink it with milk. The label is nice, like it is for people who want to like sake. The brewery is a "registered tangible cultural property (building)" I would like to visit. The brewery uses natural sake yeast isolated and cultivated from "Hana" (flower). The name is derived from Mt. Amabuki, which rises to the northeast of the brewery.

SUMINOE Solid Sharp and dry, the label is nice and tasteful as the name suggests. I also like the lettering of Suminoe. The name is derived from the nearby Suminoe Shrine, but it seems to be a modern word, so I think it means "deep colored river" or something like that. I think it is located on the old Kitakamigawa River near the brewery. It seems to be near Ishinomaki station and also close to Hidakami-san.

Aurochs This year it is an unfiltered unpasteurized sake that has been aged in ice temperature for one year. Mature and robust flavor. Fresh and nutty. Heitaro Ishihara, the third-generation brewer, learned that "in ancient China, sake was called 'Heaven's Biroku,'" and named the sake "Wangroku" to express his strong desire to make it a sake with a kingly character among the "Biroku" (= abundant blessings given from the heavens). The name "Oroku" was given to the sake.

Gakki Masamune Junjo I often drink Junjyo by Masamune Gakki. Delicious. (Originating from a comment made during the Taisho era (1912-1926) by the composer of Kimigayo, Oku Yoshiyoshi, a gagaku master of the Imperial Household Agency, when the imperial family was visiting Glorious Land, that "sake making and playing musical instruments were originally equally dedicated to the gods").

cocken Calm and mellow Classic The label is a gourd and a boar's mouth. Maybe the vermilion color is because it's for hot sake. It was founded in 1877 and named "Kokugen" after the many people who discussed the future of the country after the end of the Tokugawa Shogunate and the turn of the Meiji Era.

Sharaku MIYAIZUMI In Aizu, there is a famous sake brewing family that has been in business for 400 years, from which the Miyaisumi and Higashiyama families split off. When the Higashiyama brewery, which made Sharaku (classic Sharaku), went out of business, Yoshihiro Miyamori, the current president of his relative Miyazumi Meizumi Brewery, took over the brand name "Collage" and created a completely new concept, which is now highly acclaimed. The label of classic Sharaku was Ichikawa Ebizo by Toshusai Sharaku, but now it is only letters. As a side note, I personally believe that the name "Sharaku" comes from the Japanese word "pun" (pun).
