# Polishing ratio 60 # 15% alcohol by volume I bought this when I visited a roadside station in Joso the other day. It is quite spicy. I got the impression that she was a very determined young lady 😅. Please note that this is just my personal impression 💦. With today's offerings (grilled barracuda, steamed clams with sake, soba noodles), the sake wins out. It might be perfect with grilled chicken or pork belly stew.

It has a strong umami flavor, or rather a strong flavor. I think it is a sake suitable for heating up. Today's accompaniments are simmered taro, lightly pickled lettuce, and miso soup with shijimi clam.

#2004 Bizen Omachi #2004 Made in 2004. The leftmost of the four bottles. The freshness of this sake is hard to believe that it is 20 years old, as we felt in BY2011. Not only that, you can taste the deep umami that is typical of old sake later on. It was a great sake 🥺.

#Bizen Omachi #BY2011 Manufactured in 2011. Second from the left in a line of four bottles. I thought it was amazing that the freshness of the acidity could still be felt even though it was over ten years old.

#Akaban Omachi #BY2020 Produced in 2020. Second from the right in a line of four bottles. According to the explanation of the event organizer, after the current owner of the Takagi Brewery (the 15th generation) took over, the brewery started improving the 14th generation, and it is around this age that a different taste from the previous generation can be felt.

#Akaban Omachi #BY2024 One of the main attractions of this event was a comparison of the Jyusyuyo by age. The rightmost of the four bottles was produced in 2024. Well, Jyushiyo is still delicious.

#Oucho #Omachi #Brewing #47 #Takagaki Toji Since the cuisine has changed to simmered and grilled dishes from this point on, the sake has also changed to one with more umami than acidity. This sake was made in 1996, so it is what we call old sake. It is so precious that it makes me shiver to think that it was made 28 years ago, and that it was made by Mr. Takagaki, a master brewer.

#Omachi Both rice and water are "100% Okayama-grown". I thought this might be the most "fitting" sake in the Omachi-bound lineup this time. I think this is just my personal opinion. Please understand 😅

#Omachi #Making with Bodai Hashiroshi This sake is made with a very rare method called "Bodhi Hashiwake". It is a very sharp sake with a slight carbonation feeling.

#Omachi Ishizuchi" is now one of Ehime's most famous sake. I was amazed by the indescribable complexity of the acidity, which is one of Ishizuchi's characteristics, and the fullness of Omachi 😲.

#Omachi #Sakeya Manryu Limited Jokku" came out with Kaiun. Mutsu Hachisen is a popular sake from Hachinohe, Aomori, and it is delicious. This one is also refreshing and went perfectly with the tuna sashimi 😋.

#Akaban Oumachi Participated in an event at a liquor store of an acquaintance. This time, the main lineup is "Omachi". The first one was "Kaiun". It is refreshing, but also has a full-bodied taste that is typical of Omachi.

I went to my favorite Japanese restaurant for the first time in a while and was served a sake that the owner said was "personally the bonanza of the year". It had the flavor of a Junmai Daiginjo, but with the crispness of a pure sake, and a wonderful aroma that lingers in the mouth. This is indeed a great sake. I was happy that my colleague (Australian) who went with me was extremely impressed with it 😊.

I am not a person who can taste, but the moment I drank it, I felt "Gohan! I felt "Gohan! Is it because Nikomaru is edible rice? 🤔. It has a delicious flavor, but it also has a sourness. I think it is perfect as a food sake. Tonight's entrée was red squid sashimi and spicy hot pot for some reason😅. As for the sake pairing? But it was delicious tonight too.

Today, the wife prepared the first grilled saury of the season for dinner, so we hurried to the local supermarket to get some hiyaoroshi to go with it 😊. It's good to taste seasonal foods for both sake and snacks ❗ #I feel like I'm writing a diary 🍶🍶. 😰😰.

Refreshing aroma and flavor. It is good when you want a refreshing drink. I had a preconceived notion that "Kyushu = shochu," and in fact, I had never had much Kyushu sake (I think I only remember Nabeshima and Tanaka Rokujugo...). I had a preconceived notion that "Kyushu = shochu" and had never actually drunk much Kyushu sake (I think, I only remember Nabeshima and Tanaka Rokujugo). So, I'm sorry for taking it so lightly. I'll try to discover more Kyushu sake next time 🙂. By the way, today's accompaniment was yakitori.
