A friend gave this to me as a souvenir from a trip to Hokkaido. From the name of the sake, I thought it would be crisp and dry, but it turned out to be sweet and soft.

We visited a sake brewery in Nakatsugawa, Gifu Prefecture. The brewery is said to make basically clean and fruity sake, and we tasted this one, which is said to be the sweetest of all. It was indeed full of sweetness!

Also at Hamamatsu Station, this is a small amount of free tasting. We had the first two autumn sakes of the year. Since they were sake in bulk, they were high in alcohol content and had a heavy finish.

At Ekimachi in Hamamatsu Station. We had a 500 yen tasting of the most popular New Summer Orange Sparkling and a set of the regular sparkling. I didn't like the regular one so much, but the orange one, with 5% alcohol, tasted like an elegant chu-hi (a refreshing drink)!

A leisurely trip on the Tokaido Line using a Seishun 18 ticket. We stopped in Numazu and purchased a bottle at Matsuura Sake Brewery, located a short walk from the station. This local Numazu sake is made with water from Mt. Fuji and HONOFUJI from Shizuoka Prefecture. Despite the image of the classic label, it had a soft and mellow flavor.

I happened to stop by the sake department of Yokohama Takashimaya and was allowed to try a sample of GANKI. I tasted an unfiltered pure sake (No.1), a junmai ginjo (No.2), a junmai ginjo (Mizu no Wa), and finally a junmai ginjo (Hitotsubi), a junmai ginjo with a single heating. All were delicious, but it was fun to listen to the explanation and drink them in order to get a good sense of the difference between nama-shu and hi-iru, and between junmai and junmai-ginjo! As the brewer said, one of the hi-iru junmai sake flowed like water and cut cleanly, making it perfect for everyday drinking as an in-between-dinner drink. The Junmai Ginjo was aromatic, sweet, smooth, and Ichihan gorgeous.

I bought a bottle of Kuchiman from the Hanazumi Shuzo brewery in Minami Aizu as a souvenir from climbing Hiuchigatake in Oze. I remember that the spring sake I drank before was light and easy to drink, but this summer sake is juicy and full of melon-like sweetness, but with a clean aftertaste that makes it easy to enjoy even in the hot summer.

I bought this bottle after being allowed to sample it at a liquor store in front of Kuroiso Station on my way home from a mountain climbing trip in Nasu. It has a smooth, light, summery taste that can be enjoyed on its own or with food. The design of the label, which is typical of a summer evening, is also wonderful.

This is another brand that I have been noticing recently. It had a good balance of sweetness, umami, and acidity, and one sake was quickly consumed.

I have been curious about this brand ever since I missed it on a trip to Fukuoka. It was an easy-drinking sake with a mellow mouthfeel, sweetness and umami.

I had the impression that it was delicious when I drank it outside before, so I repeated it. As expected, it is light, light and dry, and goes well with meals.

A low-alcohol sweet sake. It tasted much like Rokka Shuzo's Aomori Terroir, which I had previously bought in Aomori.

This is Nada's sake, with a classic taste. But it was not that dry and had a soft aftertaste.

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's strange because I was told I could feel white grapes and when I drank it, I really did. It is also delicious.

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.

センスの良いおしゃれラベルが印象的。今日はいろんな種類を飲みすぎて記憶が曖昧だけど、これも割とすっきり系のきれいな味だったような。美味しかったことに間違いはない。
