To decide whether to serve it cold or warmed, I first took a sip of it cold. My first impression was "Narazuke". And it smells like well matured Narazuke. We thought it was suitable for hot sake, so we warmed it up to 60 degrees Celsius in the chiller and drastically heated it up. The Nara-zuke aroma was gone, but the dryness remained, and it was easy to pair with a meal.

A nearby station was selling Niigata's best sake, so I was allowed to sample and choose one. It was labeled as having a sake degree of -40.0, and the clerk introduced it to me by saying, "It's like wine. When we poured it into a well-chilled glass and enjoyed it, it was indeed like a sweet white wine, but with a gentle rice-derived mouthfeel. It also has a sourness like calpis or yogurt, and because it is so sweet, one should be careful not to drink too much. It paired perfectly with the truffle cookies that I had carefully stored in the refrigerator to accompany the wine. It seems to be good to drink as an aperitif.

The closing drink at the sake bar I always go to. I don't know how to describe it, but in a word, It is sweet, but has a refreshing aftertaste as if it were melting. It is sweet, but has a refreshing aftertaste as if it melts away. It has a subtle fruity aroma. A treat for adults only.

This is the sake that got me hooked on sake. It has a nostalgic sweet aroma and a deep sweetness. A refreshing feeling after drinking. It is a delicious sake that has both sweet and spicy flavors. I want to keep it at home all the time.

I have been a fan since it was recommended to me at a local liquor store. It has a gentle acidity and a mild sweetness. The sweetness that spreads in the mouth after the first sip has a refined quality, somewhat like that of wasanbon. It is good with a meal or on its own. It is a sake to be enjoyed quietly at night when the weather is cooler.

This bottle was offered to me when I expressed my preference at a local liquor store with an extensive sake lineup. When I poured it, it was slightly cloudy and I thought it might be more beautiful in a glass.... It has a mild acidity and fruity aroma. If I were to compare it to fruit, it would be like pineapple or lychee... Personally, I would rather enjoy it by itself than with a meal.

In front of hagi sashimi (with liver) and shime saba (mackerel), I asked the restaurant staff for a refreshing dry sake, and they served it to me. It is crisp, but also somewhat mellow. Chopsticks go right along with it, and you can't help but gulp it down. Sake with a refreshing taste is also good, isn't it?

After enjoying several sake and a meal at a sake bar, I asked the staff if I could have something to drink instead of dessert, and they introduced me to the "Ame-dareishi wo tsukutsu 3rd", a sake made from noble brewed sake. Ame-dareishi wo tsukutsu," which was featured in a line from the morning drama "Tora ni Tsubasa," which recently reached its final episode. We had high expectations for the thickening sensation when the sake was poured. The first sip has a fruity aroma. The taste is very rich. The sweetness is just right for dessert, but the flavor is so deep that you can enjoy the aftertaste... It's my first time to experience this. I want to drink it again.

For our first commemorative post, we decided to go with "Kunitatsuru" Junmai Daiginjo from Noguchi Shuzo. It is a sake that has been revived after an absence of about 40 years. A slightly fizzy feeling when opened. In the mouth, there was a slight fizziness and acidity, and although it is a Junmai Daiginjo, the aroma was not so pronounced, making it refreshing and easy to drink. Even when served with fatty sashimi, one sip refreshed the palate. Next time, I would like to try junmai sake.
