Yamakatsu
MANREI AKARI" is a Junmai Daiginjo-shu from Komatsu Shuzo in Karatsu City, Saga Prefecture, which was given to us by a person who has been very kind to us. It is a very delicious sake with a wonderful balance of full ginjo aroma, sweetness, and soft acidity. According to the label on the back, 20% Yamadanishiki from Saga Prefecture is used for the koji rice and 80% Yumeshizuku from Saga Prefecture for the kake rice.

Junmai Ginjo-shu from Kanagawa Prefecture's Inoue Shuzo. This delicious sake has the strength of a junmai sake, but with the aroma and drinkability of a ginjo.

It is a Junmai Daiginjo-shu "Blooming Flowers", a sake made by Fukumitsuya in Ishikawa Prefecture and made from 100% rice suitable for sake brewing called "Fuku no Hana". I bought it because of the cute design on the label, which says Blooming Flowers. It is a delicious sake with a refreshing taste and a gorgeous soft ginjo aroma that can be gently sensed.

This is a great value sake made by Hokkaido Otokoyama, blending their stock before making a new batch. There was also a regular sake, a junmai sake, and a sparkling sake, but this is a junmai sake. This sake has the richness of junmai sake, but is rather dry, refreshing, and delicious. This is a great value for 1,000 yen!

This sake was also served with seri nabe in Sendai some time ago. I don't remember the details of the taste, but I remember it was a slightly dry, easy-drinking, delicious sake.

Some time ago, in Sendai, I had this sake to accompany a pot of seri nabe. I forgot the details of the taste, but I think it was a delicious sake, easy to drink and fragrant, typical of junmai ginjo-shu.

It is a low-polishing junmai sake with a rice polishing ratio of 91%. I had this sake at a tavern I visited some time ago, and although I forget the details of the taste, I remember it was a delicious sake with various flavors and aromas of rice.

The sake was still delicious, but because it was served in a Masu, the smell of the cypress was so strong that I could not taste or smell the fine flavors.

It is a fire-aged junmai ginjo-shu made with "Comet" from Ukegawa Farm in Asahikawa. I got this sake at a tavern I visited a few weeks ago and forgot the detailed taste, but I think it was a delicious sake with a taste of rice.

I received this sake at a tavern I went to a few weeks ago. I forget the detailed taste, but I think the aroma was so good that I thought it was a ginjo sake. I couldn't take a good picture of it because of the reflection of the label.

It is a little past its prime, but it is a hiyaoroshi sake. It has a matured aroma and a slightly dry taste. It was served cold, but it would also be delicious warmed. It would go well with rich dishes such as stewed pork or beef stew.

The aroma of rice is sweet, and a slightly strong acidity spreads in the mouth. It is a delicious sake that is typical of junmai sake. I like the simplicity of the label.

My first Ehime sake. It is a junmai ginjo-shu called "Satoumi no Kan" from Ume Nishiki Yamakawa Co. in Shikokuchuo City. It is made from 100% Omachi rice grown in Okayama Prefecture, which is part of the "Setouchi Kakigara Agri" project of the JA Okayama Group to preserve the environment through recycling. It has a sour taste and is very refreshing, making it a delicious sake that is easy to drink. It gives the impression of being perfect for hot summer days. The ginjo aroma is subdued, perhaps because it is drunk cold, but as you drink it, you can smell it softly and gently.

This is another autumn sake recommended by Reel Shokudo. The label is cute, but the sake is a pure rice sake with a delicious rice flavor and aroma. The label recommends heating the sake, but it was hot, so we served it cold.

This is another autumn sake recommended by Reel Shokudo. It is a very refreshing sake with an ultra-harsh taste, but it also has a delicious junmai flavor. Sorry for the out-of-focus photo of the Taibijin I posted earlier.
