Miyamizuhana Special Junmai from Kobe Sakura Masamune. Lunchtime drinking at Hama Sushi. It is crisp and clear, and the alcohol content seems high, but it is only 15-16%. It is a sake with little habit that goes well with sushi.

Junmai Ginjo from Shimane Prefecture's Li Bai Shuzo, made with 55% polished Yamadanishiki. It is light on the palate, but the aroma of rice spreads quickly on the palate. Personally, I would prefer a little more richness on the first sip, but this is a delicious sake as well.

Honkin" by Nunoya Honkin Sake Brewery, one of Suwa's five breweries. It is a locally produced, locally consumed sake made with rice, water, and yeast grown in Suwa. It is the only one of the five breweries that I had never had, so I was very much looking forward to trying it. The sake was fruity and crisp, and exceeded my expectations!

Second bottle. Fuji Takasago Shuzo's Mochifuji. It is brewed with Fuji subsoil water. I don't know the difference between special junmai and junmai (lol), but it is a sake with a solid junmai flavor that leaves a sense of having drunk it.

Kamotsuru Daiginjo made with all Yamada-Nishiki, and at a slightly high 17%, it is a strong sake that goes down the throat with a gusto, but after that, it goes down the palate with a refreshing finish. The name of the master brewer is written on the front of the label, which shows that this is a bottle of sake that the brewer is very confident about.

I had never drunk it before because I had a strong image of it as a sake for votive offerings. As the name suggests, it is a sake with a rich, mellow, sweet taste. It is a five-unit (900 ml) bottle, not a four-unit (4-gou) bottle, and the shape of the bottle, with its short, cylindrical mouth, is also characteristic and gives a sense of history. I expected it to be yellow in color, but it was only slightly yellow.

This is a regular sake from the Izu Mandai Sake Brewery. It has a crisp, dry taste with a faint yellow tinge that may or may not be present. It is made from Gohyakumangoku rice produced in Toyama Prefecture, with a rice polishing ratio of 70%. It seems to go well with sashimi, but it also went well with tanshio (salted tongue).
