Tasake (rice wine) purchased at Sake no qoobe Yokote store. Akita Sake Komachi. The orange label is very seasonal. To be honest, I am not sure about the characteristics of Akita Sake Komachi, but the taste of rice is strong and has a clear outline. However, it is not the kind that disappears after a quick drink. The acidity and bitterness round out the overall umami, and the final crispness is good, so I think it can be used as a mealtime sake as well. It is a delicious sake with a highly finished base, as is typical of tasake, and with a distinctive character that comes through.

This is an autumn sake from Omine, purchased at Sake no qoobe Yokote. It is an autumn sake, but it is fresh and unpasteurized. However, compared to the usual Omine, it is a bit silky and lactic, not juicy. It has a complex flavor characteristic of Omachi, but the overall taste is mellow and soft. That area has an autumnal sake-like feel to it, which makes it slow and easy. From the perspective of Omine lovers, it is a bit of a change, but it is important to feel the season, isn't it?

Sake purchased from sake qoobe continues. Abeno Gold, I haven't had it for a long time. It's a little expensive, but when I come across it, I feel a little better and buy it. It is designed as a food sake, so the aroma is not that strong. The taste is fresh and fruity, but the sweetness and umami spread from the mid-palate, and the acidity and bitterness tighten up toward the end. It is a sake that has a royal road feel to it, and it is like a combination of all of the above. Yet, it does not make you tired of drinking. Personally, I prefer the third day after opening the bottle, as the acidity and bitterness become mellow.

Purchased at sake qoobe yokote store. It has been a long time since I tried a new brand. I think the POP label said it was a sweet sake, but it is sweet and heavy. It does not have a strong aroma, but it has a strong umami and sweetness in the mouth. It is very satisfying to drink. The sourness and alcohol taste comes later, It is also quite strong. A small amount is enough to satisfy the palate, so it is a perfect after-dinner drink.

Purchased at the sake qoobe Yokote store. I finally found a retro one. I would like to compare the modern, classic, and retro drinks again, but I can't do that at home, so I'll just compare them by image. Retro is impressive for its soft acidity (like lactic acid bacteria). Classic is the same, but I feel it is stronger. It is also transparent, so it finishes nicely, but unlike Modern and Classic, it has a pleasant feeling of flavor spreading in the mouth. This is the lineup of Ichi Shiki alone. If you combine it with other brands, you can live on Sengoku alone. It is wonderful.

A collaboration of Hakurakusei. You can't tell from the label, but once you drink it, you will be convinced that it is Hakurakusei. The fourth glass of Hakurakusei is the last of the sushi. It is easy to drink and the clear and stable Hakurakusei is sinking in. It was a perfect drink to end the meal as it gave me a sense of relief as if I had traveled a lot and returned home. Thank you very much for the meal.

The third drink is Eiko-Fuji. It is a snake eye. It is written "wine yeast" and the bottle is wine, so it looks like a white wine, perhaps because of the image. It is a Junmai Daiginjo, so it is refreshing and dry overall, but the spreading aroma and acidity are soft, so it is like a Japanese sake in that way. It is not heavy, and the astringent taste makes it a perfect match for the strong flavor of the middle part of the nigiri.

The second glass is Koraku. This is a slightly luxurious sake to go with the first part of the nigiri. The aroma is fresh and elegant. The aroma is fresh and elegant, the flavor is soft and goes well with the crisp sushi rice. It is refreshing, crisp, and perfect. It's been a long time since I've had it, It's a good choice for a meal.

First drink. Galaxy in Akabu. Might be my first time. Compared to the Tasake microbubbles I had the other day, it's a little more refreshing, with a little more acidity. But as a base, it's quite sweet and more like champagne than sake. It's perfect as an introduction to the food I'm about to cook, but I still think sparkling is pretty special when you buy and drink it at home. I'll end up buying it, though.

The last bottle we stocked in Akita is Hanayuyuu Omachi. It has a nice aroma, and the clarity in the mouth gives it a sweet and sour taste that finishes with umami and bitterness, giving us a satisfying feeling that we are drinking Japanese sake. I usually prefer a simple, refreshing sweet sake made with sweetness and acidity, but I especially like Omachi because it seems to have a clearer outline with its umami and bitterness.

Purchased at the sake qoobe Yokote store. When I drank it before, I thought the carbonation was too strong and a bit wasteful. This time, the carbonation was the same, but I could taste more flavor than before. A little more sweetness? I can give my own opinion, but I think it's an interesting sake in terms of its characteristics. When I first drank it, I thought there might not be a next time, but after all, it is sake, and there are changes here and there, so it would be a shame to make a simple decision.

I ordered a clear sweet sake and this is the Sentori that came out. It seems that I am obsessed with Sentori now. I drank it a while ago, but I had a different impression when I drank it with food, and the impression of umami was a little stronger. The new Sentori is more careful in its assertion of acidity compared to the old one, and I feel that it also plays a role in enhancing umami and sweetness. I am looking forward to drinking some of the Sentori that I have not yet had.

Lately, there have been a lot of sacred birds. Seasonal items are full of insects, but there is a really wide range, whether it is cherry blossoms or sparklers. This sparkler was my favorite. Compared to the beetles, it seems a bit sweeter. The acidity and sharpness are clear like Senkou, but it seems to have depth with a little sweetness. It is delicious. If I find a four-pack bottle, I might buy it.

Purchased from sake qoobe in Yokote, Akita. This is my first classic Sentori. When I first started drinking sake, I drank Modern Sentori Kame no O. It is the Sentori Kame no O that got me hooked on sake. I drank Modern Sentori a while ago, so if you ask me what the difference is, it would be the lactic acidity. Both are Ichi style and fire-aged, so they have a stable and clear taste, but there is a lactic acidity before the sourness and sweetness that is typical of Sengoku, and that is the flavor that supports the whole taste. To put it bluntly, it is a modern wine to be enjoyed during a meal, and a classic wine to be enjoyed on its own. I think that if you like Sentori, you can enjoy it either way...

Purchased at Sake no qoobe in Yokote City, Akita Prefecture. Tourists think that they should buy Akita sake when they come to Akita, but sake lovers just want to buy good sake, so this is a wonderful sake shop that has some of Akita's best sake, and also has Abe, Senkou, and Tasake. Abeno Black is rather dry. I'm getting to know the Abeno series better, and the Black has a strong clear impression and is well-balanced, so it's all-around good. This means that you can drink it all the time and it will run out soon.

It is Dewa Brilliant. The freshness and transparency typical of Omine. The fresh sweetness is pleasant. The acidity and bitterness give the impression of being sharp, but it is really slight, so it should be enjoyed on its own rather than during a meal.

Purchased at Sake no qoobe in Yokote City, Akita Prefecture. Whenever I return to Akita, I always stop by this liquor store. On a side note, when I search for a location on this Sake-no-wa, it does not show places far from my current location even if I enter the name of the store. I have never had a bad experience with Tasake, but this Kojo-no-no-nishiki was the jackpot. I think it is probably a characteristic of this rice, but the mellow taste spreads out, and from the soft impression, it breaks off with a sense of transparency. It was composed of only the flavors I liked from beginning to end. I would like to buy it again. It is not easy to buy in Tokyo, but....

UA stag beetle. I know that collaborations have become rather expensive, but I'll catch them when I find them. It's summer, so I can't help it. It's foam, so the stopper is like a beer. When I fearfully opened the stopper a little at a time, I struggled with it for about ten minutes because it really seemed to spew forever. This time, I drank it without mixing it, so at first I felt the carbonation and the sourness that is typical of Senkou. It is delicious with just a little bit of ori which naturally mixes with the carbonation. It's like a stag beetle (?). Second day. It was corked for wine, but the carbonation settled down, so if you go without mixing, the impression is that it becomes a little clearer and sweeter. I quite like it. Third day. If you mix the last bitterness in the cork, it gives a deeper flavor, but I was able to drink it without feeling the extra bitterness I was worried about. Personally, I think the cork should be carbonated enough to return it to normal, but I enjoyed the various expressions.

The second glass of Yamanoi. From the impression on the label, one would think it would be a sweet, mildly sweet wine, but the sweetness is not too much, and the overall impression is full-bodied, with just the right amount of dryness and just the right amount of acidity. It is an orthodox style. It is well-balanced, so it is an all-around good sake, regardless of the situation of the drinker.

Unlike the Sacred Bird, the Red Wu is not associated with seasonal items. When was the last time you had jade? The name, label, and taste of this sake seem to perfectly match. The clarity, refreshing acidity, and deep umami create a three-dimensional flavor. It has a presence that can be enjoyed not only with food, but also on its own. Thank you for the sake!
