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.

Finally, we were allowed to drink something amazing. The rice polishing ratio was a whopping 7%. That's like 2% body fat in human terms. The rice was polished and polished, and the temperature was thoroughly controlled. You can't drink this at home. Beer freezes at around -2℃. Sake freezes at about -5℃. The taste is not muscular, but the flavor and aroma is broad and robust, yet refined to the core. The aroma and taste are very clear, and the umami and sweetness are very strong. There is almost no bitterness or acidity, but the taste is naturally refreshing. It goes well with meals as it refreshes the palate each time you drink it. It is as if all of sake exists in the clarity of sake polished to the utmost limit. As one would expect from the Shinzawa Brewery of Hakurakusei.

The second cup was kawasemi from Kariho, a sake that made quite an impression on me since I was a university student and enjoyed a Junmai Daiginjo from Kariho, which made me a sake drinker. Personally, I have an image of Kariho as a dry sake, but this kawasemi is an autumn sake, so it has a smooth, umami taste. It is orthodox and seamless. It also has a nice sharpness. Kariho Kawasemi from Akabu's Amber. It is a pleasant change.

First time at a sushi restaurant in 3 months, Akabu no Amber. This sake perfectly matches its name, label, and taste. It is similar to the Juro-Man I drank before, but it is mellower overall, with an elegant sweetness. However, it has more luster than Juroman, or rather, it has a unique transparency that is called amber. It is sweet but refreshing, mellow but with an edge. I have the impression that if you leave it up to the sake sommelier here, he will serve you a very distinctive sake on the first glass. I guess he has the knowledge and experience to find the right balance between the sake and the food. If I asked for it myself, I would probably order Tobiroki or Yasupai right away. Well, of course Tobiroki is delicious. I would buy Akabu no Amber if I could find it.

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.
