A standard bottle of Hououmida purchased at a liquor store in Oyama. It was juicy, fruity, and sweet on the palate, and did not disappoint.

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.

The aroma is gorgeous and the taste is slightly effervescent and refreshing. It also has a sharpness that disappears quickly.

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.

Tasted three different kinds of sake at the Ibaraki Local Sake Bar at Mito Station. Today we climbed Mt. Okuji Nantai, so we started with this sake from the town of Ogo. The color is clear and transparent, and the taste is refreshing. I quite like it.

Junmai-shu made from Tochigi's edible rice, Chiginohoshi. From the pop label, I imagined a fruity flavor, but the taste is like a strong, dark flavor of rice.

On the way back from a mountain climbing trip in Hadano at the beginning of the year, I stopped by the Izumihashi Brewery in Ebina and bought a bottle at their directly-managed store. It is said to be one of their regular bottles, and it had a well-balanced flavor that was not too habitual, making it easy to pair with a meal.

Purchased on the way back from climbing in the Hanno Alps. I guess I didn't get into it too much - nigori sake is difficult to make.

I bought this bottle at the beginning of this year at a brewery in Mikage. It tasted freshly squeezed with a gaseous sensation in the mouth and a sweetness that spread softly afterward.

This was the second Hyakumeizan of the day. Tanigawadake had an image of being dry and refreshing, but the Junmai Daiginjo was very soft to drink. As the label says, it is a bottle where you can feel the sweetness and the goodness of natural water.

It is clean, dry, crisp, and easy to pair with meals! I've been drinking a lot of fruity wines recently, but this is the first time in a while that I've had a refreshingly dry wine, and I have a very good impression of it.

I bought a bottle of this at the Morishima Sake Brewery's direct sales place when I stopped by on my way back from climbing a mountain in Hitachi, Japan. I was thinking, "It's like an apple, like a grape, but something different, what's this feeling? It's a pear! And it's pear-like, like LaFrance. It is fresh, fruity, and delicious, with a slight gassy feeling right after opening the bottle.

While it has a clean, refreshing taste that seems to go well with meals, the sweetness of the rice can also be felt.

Tasted at the brewery's store. It tasted sweeter and softer than Raku-fu-mai Shiboritate. It also had a slight aroma like a lactic acid bacteria drink.
