I bought a bottle on my way back from climbing a mountain in Hakodate. It is a brand that is hard to find in the Kanto area, and it is a new sake brewery, having been established in 2020. Despite its modern label, it tastes more like a classic sake, with a strong flavor of rice.

The stylish label of this brand is eye-catching. In addition to its fruity taste, it has a light, slightly effervescent, and very easy to drink. It was a sake that could be enjoyed on its own without being paired with a meal.

It is made with Miyamanishiki and is super dry with a sake degree of +13. However, at the moment of drinking, it was more sweet than dry. After that, it was so crisp and clean that it could easily be served as a mid-meal drink.

I have been curious about Akabu for a while; I heard the "F" is the first letter of For you. The mild sweetness is impressive.

Memories of GW trip. A special collaboration between Funasaka Sake Brewery and the hotel. It is a refreshingly dry sake. We had it with grilled chicken with miso, which we also bought at a morning market in Takayama.

I bought this sake from Yokkaichi on my way back from climbing the mountains of Suzuka. It is made from 100 percent Kami no Ho, a rice unique to Mie Prefecture. It is sweet, fruity, and soft to drink.

I visited a sake brewery in Hida Furukawa and purchased this sake. It was a delicious junmai sake with a crisp, dry aftertaste of rice, a perfect accompaniment to daily evening drinks.

The catchphrase "the Romanée Conti of the sake world" caught my attention, so I tasted it. I have never had a Romanée Conti before, so I don't know if the catchphrase is on target or not, but it was even sweeter than the previous Hyokuro Daiginjo and left a sweet aftertaste that lingered long after drinking.

Even today, 90% of this local sake is consumed within Tochigi Prefecture, which is literally local production for local consumption. I felt its richness the moment I put it in my mouth. It is a classic sake with a strong flavor of rice.

Koshi's Spring Sake has a slightly sweet flavor with a slight effervescence. The stylish bottle design and the concept of expressing a new spring encounter with a flavor that changes over time are also wonderful.

The last was a junmai sake called Shunyo from Raifuku. Raifuku is another brand that I have been interested in for some time. Both the aroma and taste are very fruity, and I can see why it is so popular. Raifuku has a wide variety of sake, so I would like to compare other brands.

The second cup was a Sudo Honke's Gonohomare, which had been on my mind for some time. This one had a slightly yellowish color and a sturdy impression. I was told that it is a genre of sake called "Kaoru-shu.
