Labor Thanksgiving Day. We had an evening drink with "Toyobai", a delicious sake from Aomori. It has a refreshing taste. Since it has become cold, oden is good. Yuzu kosho goes well with oden.
Osaka Odenkyu" at Grand Front and "Banjo Kotobuki Kosmosu" in Namie, Fukushima Prefecture. Junmai Ginjo...a fruity sake with a nice aroma. Osaka Oden is also delicious.
Otokoyama Gomen-shu" purchased at New Chitose Airport. It is a gozenzake (a sake for the Tokugawa Shogun's family). Chilled.......the acidity is very nice.
Drinking at home with "Sawanoi Honjishu", a local sake from Okutama, Tokyo. Cut bonito and grilled mackerel. We sipped slowly on Tokyo's junmai sake. Maybe heated sake would be good.
Tasty sake "Takachiyo" from Minamiuonuma, Niigata...Halloween version. The citrus aroma and rich acidity stand out. The cute label also made it a satisfying bottle.

Echigo Kashiwazaki Abe Shuzo "Abe Junmai Ginjo" vol.3 A light and tasty combination of sake rice "Gohyakumangoku" and "Raku-fu-mai"... It is evolving every year and we look forward to it.
Delicious sake and snacks in front of Nakano station. The first glass is a junmai ginjo sake from Hokuto City, Yamanashi. It is a refreshing and tasty ginjo.
The third glass is...Shinkame "Junmai-shu", an amber-colored Junmai-shu. It is very strong. The simmered Yanaginomai (mebaru) is also delicious. Sake and simmered fish...they go great together.
