I haven't had a chance to buy alcohol lately, so I bought it at a nearby liquor store. It is nice to be able to buy KID in the neighborhood. It is Junmai Daiginjo and displayed on the shelf at room temperature. It has been a long time since I bought sake at room temperature. At home, I chill it in the refrigerator, but it tastes better at room temperature. The aroma is gorgeous, and as you would expect from a Junmai Daiginjo, it is beautiful, but it has a rather robust umami taste. It has a slightly bitter taste when chilled, so it is best to drink it at room temperature to enjoy its full flavor. I used to think that sake is definitely better when chilled, but I was wrong. I feel that I have broadened my horizons a bit.

At the usual restaurant. Junmai Daiginjo of Juromanto, once fired. It has a deep, lustrous richness and a mellow aftertaste. It may seem a waste of sake as a food sake, but it would be fine as a reward for a meal after a hard day's work. It is not autumn yet, but the ingredients are gradually becoming more autumnal, so I wonder if from now on we will be able to sense the season through food rather than temperatures. But in the end, the temperature will have a great influence on the ingredients, so I doubt it will happen. It is the kind of sake that makes you think about things like this, and it is a slow, luxurious time to enjoy it.

First fall sake of the year. It is my favorite Oumine. The overall taste is rounded and mild, unlike the usual fresh Omine. However, the way the umami and sweetness stand out is unique to Omine. It is delicious. I like cold sake, so I chill it in any season, but I guess it is also good at room temperature. There were Omachi and Yamadanishiki, but I chose Yamadanishiki. I always say that I should have bought both, but I thought that the tendency to choose Yamadanishiki as the cheapest option was not good. (What do you think?)

Masayo-san's Narukami. It has a full flavor and a nice sharpness. The color of the label somehow reminds me of autumn, but it is not hiya oroshi, and it is hot every day. The 14.5% alcohol content is indescribably balanced. It will satisfy both dry and sweet sake lovers, as well as umami lovers.

It has been quite a while since I last visited Mimuro Sugi. I had the impression that they were making a lot of noise when I started drinking sake in earnest, and I had been away from them for a long time because I was a bit of an innocent, thinking that if they were so famous, I wouldn't drink them. This is probably my first time to try Dioavita. I was hesitating between this and the one made in a wooden vat, but I bought it because it was recommended to me as being sweet and tasty with a low alcohol content. It is not as strong in character as its name, but I like it a lot because of its soft aroma and pleasant sweetness. The alcohol content is low, but the rice flavor is present, so it is very drinkable. It has a rather middle-of-the-road impression of flavor, so why did they give it a side letter name? I don't think it's because it's a side letter, but I have the impression that it's out of the mainstream. Well, this is not something to be said by someone who does not know the taste of Mimuro Cedar's mainstream. It was delicious.

One cup of delicious Daimine. I found it at Isetan and immediately repeated it. I found it at Isetan, so I immediately repeated it. But it's not much. I wanted a little more. But I can drink it while savoring it little by little, and it is good for my health if I finish it with only this one cup. It is good for your health. Please make it a little bigger next time.

I thought I would not buy sparklers this year. To my surprise, I came across it in Akita and bought it without a second thought. It is no longer a surprise, but it is still fresh and pleasantly acidic, a sharp end to summer. Still hot, though. This time, I did not serve it with a meal, but just on its own. It was empty in no time.

Last team C. The aroma is slightly lactic, soft and acidic on the palate. But soon a refreshing minerality covers the entire taste. The clear impression is accompanied by a subtle echo of rice flavor and aroma. The sense of transparency is not half bad. As a result of drinking three bottles, this Team C is my favorite. Originally, I was going to simply vote for the most delicious of the three, but I wondered if these three shocking bottles were not made with that in mind. I also thought. If it is simply the taste, I prefer the usual Abeno Silver and others. If that is the case, we should vote for the team that gave the most interesting presentation on the theme of "dry".... Now, which one should I vote for?

Next up was Team B, with a moderate 14° alcohol content. The aroma was lactobacillus-like, another type I don't like. When I drank it with trepidation, I found it to be a little refreshing. The minerality was so strong that I wondered what the aroma was. And is this sake? It was so clear that I wondered if it was sake or not, and there was a faint lingering aftertaste. I feel as if my brain is buggy. This is probably another type of sake that I would not buy even if it were on sale. The last team C is my last hope.

An interesting set of 3 bottles of Abeno. The style is to compare the drinks and vote for your favorite team. Let's start with Team A. However, I had a slight dislike for this Team A before drinking it. The alcohol content is 18 degrees and it is made with Hashira shochu. The aroma was sake (of course), and I thought it was a little fruity, but when I drank it, it ran around shochu, or sake, or shochu, or sake. As a result, I identified it as a shochu or nihon-shu with the flavor and sweetness of rice. Personally, I don't like strong alcohol or shochu, so I can't describe it well, but I felt that if I took it as dry, it would fit firmly in the frame of sake. I guess in a competition format, the sake must have a strong assertiveness. AbeI thought it was naive to think that I liked all of them and could not decide which one to choose. I am sorry. I would like to taste the other two with all my heart.

Hanamup is quite difficult to find a four-pack in Tokyo. I used to think that just because it was called Ryoseki Shuzo, it would be easy to buy it, but good sake is good regardless of whether it is famous or not. It has a refreshing taste and a fruity aroma. The gorgeous sweetness of the sake is finally broken up by the lingering finish of the omachi. I drank it while having a luxurious barbecue, but it is a quality sake that can be enjoyed slowly on its own. It is a rare example of complexity coexisting in simplicity.

The sake that came out as a gift. This was quite a strong style sake. I was afraid that it might not be my favorite type of sake, but when I tried it, I found that there was no unpleasant alcohol taste, and the umami of the rice could be felt well. Akita's sake has a high base level. Although Shinmasa is the most outstanding sake, there are many other delicious sake such as Yukino Kayasha, Kariho, and A-Sakura.

I went back to my wife's family home for the Obon holiday. While in Akita, I stopped by a liquor store and found a wide selection of non-Akita sake. I couldn't help but try my hand at a one-cup bottle of Omine. It has a juicy sweetness that is typical of Omine and a refreshing taste. The 100ml one-cup is not enough, but it is a great product including that. Delicious.

This is definitely a good one - this is definitely a good one. The sweetness of Aizan and the crisp, sake-like flavor bring the whole thing together. It has a more umami-guchi dryness than I expected. It is a good balance between the sweetness of Aizan and the crispness of the sake.

Lastly, the bamboo sparrow. This is also new to me. It is called "Noami Rice," but it seems to be Yamada-Nishiki, which cannot be publicly declared, so I thought it was okay to name it as one likes. The taste is very careful, and quite stable for an unfiltered, unfiltered sake. It is not so complex or wild, but simple and penetrating. I enjoyed it with food.

The second glass was also omakase, and it was a Shichibon-yari Kinokan. I had tasted Tamaei before at Nichinichi, but at that time, I had the impression that it was mildly dry, and as a fan of refreshing sake, I thought it was Yamada-Nishiki. However, this Shichibon-yari was very refreshing. The combination of the aroma of the wooden vat and Tamakae reminded me of an old type of sake, but it was not like that, and even a meek palate could enjoy it.

It is a sake that basically never leaves Sadogashima, so it has no name, just "Junmai Ginjo Nama Shu" written on it. I first encountered it at a restaurant I went to for the first time. It has a beautifully orthodox flavor and a nice sharpness. It tastes exactly like Junmai Ginjo Nama Sake. It has no unnecessary peculiarities, and gives the impression of being carefully made, making it perfect with a meal.

It is our first time to drink green soil. The bottle was opened with a pop. The aroma is elegant and gorgeous. The anticipation is high. When you put it in your mouth, the mellow flavor spreads. However, the alcohol taste is a little strong. The alcohol content is low at 13 degrees, but I felt a little bit peculiar because it is very drinkable.

The overall flavor is clean and clearly defined. The umami and sweetness come through clearly, but it is not heavy or cloying. The Nichinichi, which I drank earlier, is more mellow and the Tenpyo from Nichinichi is more transparent. The characteristics of each are easy to understand. You can't tell these things when drinking at home.

I like Yamada-Nishiki the best for Nichinichi. It has a great sense of unity as a sake. It is mellow and gently sweet. It finishes with a refreshing aftertaste, so there is no unnecessary complexity, and its simplicity makes it perfect with food. Since this is a low-alcohol sake, it is the strongest food sake.
