Sushi Restaurant in December. Hououmida's sword is refreshing on the palate and has a very good balance of umami and sweetness. It is both mellow and crisp, so you can enjoy both the deliciousness of the sake and the food during the meal. It is a good example of how good balance can be said to be a lack of features, but if perfection is achieved, it will become a proper feature.

This year, too, we could feel the coming of winter. To be honest, I don't remember what it tasted like last year, but it was delicious again this year. I drank it mixed with origami from the beginning, and it had no unpleasant bitterness or unnecessary complexity. There was no unpleasant bitterness or unnecessary complexity, and the taste was crystal clear, as if winter was quietly but steadily approaching. I hope this winter is as mild as this sake.

It's been a long time since I've had an Abe Silver. The last time I drank Abe, the dryness of the Abe Competition was so shocking that I forgot when I drank it before. Abe Silver is a personal favorite of mine, a hall of fame, and I thought it had a high degree of perfection, but this time Abe Silver was even tastier. I think this may be the result of Abee's efforts to improve the dry taste, but I had the impression that the previous Abee was rather sharp with a bitter taste, but this time I hardly felt any bitterness. Overall, there is a sense of transparency and a strong flavor profile. The taste does not become dull, so it naturally has a nice sharpness. I had the impression that the level of perfection had clearly improved. It was very tasty.

Fresh dairy peaks, even when fired up. Wish it came out of the faucet. I think I am getting so used to the taste of Omine that I am forgetting how to taste it. There are both Yamadanishiki and Dewa Sanzan, but to be honest, I don't know that much about the individual flavors of each. All of them are delicious, so that's fine, but I think it would be better to taste them more properly.

The second drink was a shizuku of Kuroryu. It's a nice sake. It has a fresh, sweet aroma and a clear taste. It has a dry impression, but the lingering aftertaste is excellent. When you learn that a sake like this is not junmai sake, you feel the depth of aluzoe. I personally like Isojimasume and Musical Instrument Masamune, but this Kuroryu Shizuku was also excellent.

Sushi and Sentori. Speaking of SENKOKU, there are beetles, red dragonflies, snowmen, and so on..., Seasonal items stand out, But when you suddenly come across a classic SENKYO, you will be reminded of the power of SENKYO, and that this is the mainstream. The mild acidity humbly asserts itself amidst the sweetness of the rice. Overall, it is simple, but cohesive and seamless. I think the Classic Series is really well made.

Hi sikamaru 😃 You are right! The flashy seasonal stuff tends to get most of the attention 😅I wish everyone could understand the mainstream taste 🤗I'm looking forward to seeing the return of Edo 😊.

When people think of dry, they think of Hitakami. When people think of Hidakami, they think of dry. Its clarity and crispness are outstanding. It is such a complete food sake that if a dish does not go well with Hidakami, the problem lies in the dish itself. It is wonderful that it is so refreshing, easy to drink, and yet does not leave you feeling deprived.

Tasake after a long time. Akita Sake Komachi. The label is simple and elegant: gold letters on a white background. The contrast with the green bottle is also nice. The taste is royal. The aroma is elegant. The flavor is smooth and robust without being harsh or angular. The slight bitterness that makes it sharp is not my favorite, but I didn't mind that much because the overall quality of the sake is beautiful.

Bought it with Hana Yuu. It was my first time to drink Suiyu, but I suddenly bought Ura-Suiyu. The Ura-A-Sakura I drank before was sweet and tasty, but this Ura-Suiyu is spicy and tasty. The aroma is gorgeous and the taste is mellow, but dry. It has a sense of transparency and is clean and crisp. I would like to try the Omote Suitama as well.

Hanamup, which was previously available in Akita, was encountered this time in Gunma. Since it was junmai ginjo last time, we chose junmai sake this time. Basically, I like ginjo-shu, so I don't often buy junmai-shu, but it is delicious because it has a mellow flavor and mellow feeling that is not too harsh and gives a beautiful impression. It is delicious because it has a beautiful impression and is not harsh in its mellowness and richness. Ryozeki is really good at sake brewing.

A 12% alc. instrumental Masamune with a good balance of sweetness, umami, and acidity. It has a good balance of sweetness, umami, and acidity, and is clear and easy to drink. 12 of Queen, a green color reminiscent of muscat, is interesting in that the impression from the label is directly related to the taste sensation. The juicy flavor allows you to drink more and more of this sake, so be careful, as it will be gone in no time.

The second glass is Tenmei with recommended autumn sake. It has a mild mouthfeel typical of autumn sake and a soft acidity. The clear sake quality makes it easy to drink. I wonder if it is similar to Juromanto? I drank Miyazumi quite vigorously, My memory is a little fuzzy. As I get older, I am forgetting faster and faster, so I need to record what I drink as soon as I drink it.

The first drink at a Japanese restaurant I often visit. After much hesitation, I decided to go with Miyazumi. It is a safe choice, so I can order it without any worries. The pink label gives the impression of a gorgeous, fresh, elegant sweet sake. The beautiful quality of the sake makes it easy to drink. It also makes you drunk. There are no major flavor changes in the Miyazumi and Kuraraku lines, but they surely create a careful gradation of flavors.

It is a kijoshu with low alcohol content, and even at 12%, it is very drinkable, with the fullness of kijoshu and a lingering aftertaste. But it is fresh. It has a mysterious and delicious taste. I don't know how or when to drink it, but it seems to be very satisfying no matter when you drink it. Yoshida u's kinjo-shu is different from other kijo-shu I have had. I recommend it.

Personally, I'm a Hall of Fame Daimine. It's fresh, elegant and sweet, and it hits the spot. I can say that I can drink it all the time, but I wonder about the reality. If you drink it all the time, you may get bored of it surprisingly fast. It is Omachi, but does it have the Omachi feeling? Suddenly I have my doubts, but good is good. But the more I doubt it, the more experienced I am as a drinker.

Monsoon with an attractive label. Somehow I have the impression that Tamakae is not my favorite, but I bought it because sake really varies and I can't decide what I like or dislike based on a little experience. It is more refreshing than the previous Monsoon I drank. It's not as cloudy, so it's less kijoshu-like, but I personally prefer it. It has none of the bitterness or old dryness that I have come to associate with Tamakae. I guess the taste of sake can be completely different depending on what characteristics of the rice are brought out and how and where the sake is made. Monsoon is a sake I would like to drink regularly.

Junmai Daiginjo Monochrome, one of the limited series. (It's a matter of personal taste.) The taste is very clear and gorgeous. The taste is very clear and gorgeous. The fine sweetness stands out and the aftertaste is enjoyable. I love the taste, but I don't like the label. I think anything is fine as long as it tastes good, but the taste of sake is not the same every time, and I don't remember the details either. Even if I know it tastes good because it is Kangiku at the time, if there is another sake with a good label that I am interested in, I will buy that one. But when I drink it, I find that Kangiku is delicious.

There was a second glass of Akabu no Amber, which I was going to drink, but since I drank it rather recently, I went with Amabuki no Autumn Sake. The aroma is mild. It does not have the luster of the Amber, but it has a gentle umami and a slight acidity, and goes well with meals. The label is Halloween and the name is tasteful. It has a pleasant, relaxed taste that is typical of an autumn sake, and you will want to keep drinking it.

The store staff told me that Morishima was "just opened yesterday, so it might still be a little young. It's refreshing, easy to drink, and delicious, but that being said, it's a junmai sake, so I'm wondering if the fuller flavor and aroma will start to emerge tomorrow or so. It is fine even if it is young when paired with food, but I think junmai sake tastes best when it has been open for a little while, especially when it is well blended. Next time I find Morishima, I'll buy some.

A test brew of Gagakuyo. The aroma is not so strong and lactic acidic. The mouthfeel is refreshing, but the taste is very drinkable. It is lactic acidic and dry. It is different from Sentori, It is different from Sentori, and is similar to Abeno Competitive's C. Since this is a test brew, I wonder if they will continue to refine the use of this yeast. In the world of sake, I wonder if the recent boom in the "sweet and refreshing" style of sake is giving way to a new boom in the "dry" style. This sake gave me such a feeling. I would like to enjoy the change after a few days.

ジェイ＆ノビィさん、こんばんは。日本酒の辛口って難しいですよね。甘口はわかりやすいですが、辛口は人によって定義もちがうような気がします。このマサヨさんを辛口と感じるのは私だけかも？
