As if lured by the cherry blossoms in full bloom, I wanted to drink spring sake, so I purchased Kido's spring sake on my way home from work. Its gorgeous aroma and sweetness are perfect for this season.
Purchased on the way back from mountain climbing in Otsuki. As it looks, it is a classic dry junmai sake. I felt it mellowed a bit on the palate when paired with a meal.
Slightly gassy, I think I felt a yogurt-like acidity. Calpis soda-like. This was the last bottle of the day, and I enjoyed it to the end, along with the excellent soba noodles at the end.
It was a stylish label, and although I thought it would be a gorgeous fruity type, I really liked the light, refreshing and refreshing taste that flowed nicely from start to finish without any clutter.
It is the season of spring sake. I had no idea it was low-alcoholic, but it was a delicious sake that was easy to drink and went down smoothly, though not too light in a strange way.
I stopped by Igarashi Sake Brewery on my way back from a mountain climbing trip in Hanno and bought this bottle. It has a light Champagne-like mouthfeel with a fruity aroma and sweetness. But at the end, I felt a grain-like aroma escaping through my nose.
On a long overseas business trip, I discovered Kuheiji at the ANA lounge in Haneda. The sweetness spreads gorgeously and recedes with a lingering aftertaste. It is a sake that can be enjoyed on its own without being paired with a meal.
On the second day of our trip to Hakata, we had Shiraito Shuzo's Shiraito 55 at Ichido, a motsunabe restaurant. It has a gorgeous aroma, sweetness, and a refreshing taste. It also has a nice sharpness. We enjoyed it with excellent dishes such as motsu nabe, vinegared motsu, and sesame kanpachi.
On a trip to Hakata. Purchased at a convenience store. It is made by a sake brewery in Yame using rice grown in Yame. It has a fruity and sweet taste with a clean aftertaste.
I was going to buy the famous Ocean series, but next to it there was a brand that I was curious about because it is only distributed in Chiba Prefecture, and it is only available during this season. After the slightly carbonated and fresh taste, a gentle sweetness spreads. I could go on and on with this one. It's a very satisfying drink with a great cosmetic value.
A souvenir from a trip to Hakone at the end of last year. It comes in smoothly with a smooth, light, watery mouthfeel and disappears at the end, leaving a firm dry taste. It is quite delicious.
The first time I drank a Jyushiyo, it was a superb one. There was absolutely no cloying taste, and the fruity sweetness was perfectly balanced with a sharpness that quickly faded away.
The season for new sake has arrived. Purchased at a liquor store in Moriya. It has a freshness like green apples that only new sake can have. I hardly felt any gassiness.
