Takara Shuzo's new Mio. It is a very fruity sparkling wine with a slightly bitter taste. Dashimaki Tamago (rolled egg) and asparagus marinated with garlic and miso go well together 😋.
Nigori sake from Asahi Shuzo's Kubota. It's refreshing and easy to drink, yet has a very delicious fruity taste that is unique to Kubota 😋. I will definitely repeat this summer. ‼︎
It also goes very well with the thinly sliced octopus 🐙🐙🐙 that I served with it 😉. This is the best summer ☀️ marriage.
Rikyubai summer ginjo from Daimon Shuzo in Katano, Osaka! It's my meat-eating husband's birthday 🎂‼︎ alone at a meat festival this summer☀️ limited edition sake goes very well with meat. I hope we can drink good sake 🍶 this year too 😉👍.
On a gloomy ☔️ and slightly summery day, I had a summer limited edition hikikikumo ✈️ from a local Hyogo sake brewery, Kasumitsuru. It has a great flavor and is easy to drink, perfect for summer 😉. I paired it with a garlic-mashimashi bonito tataki and an equally-mashimashi dice steak 🥩! This will give you more power 💪.
Today it is kenrishi. He used to love to drink it.
He never complained to his family about his work and listened to everyone's stories while drinking two cups of warmed sake that he had cooked himself, just like Eigo Kawashima's song. I aspire to be like that, but I'm not there yet.
Junmai Ginjo Hiyashibori from local Konishi Shuzo. The Junmai Ginjo has a very good flavor and balanced sharpness 😉. The sweetness of the scorpionfish and sword squid sashimi went very well together, a perfect marriage 😋👍.
Today, we are all about horse mackerel 😁. Sashimi, nameko, sushi! I did it all by myself. The rice is big, but I love it 😉. I paired it with Kiku-Masamune's newly released sparkling secession. It has a fruity sweetness and juicy taste. It's not too harsh and has a very nice shwashy feel to it.
Izakaya 🏮 game. I used to eat tofu don at bars when I was in Tokyo🗼! s Motsuni-nimono, Wakegi Niniku Miso, and Saba Sushi!
With sparkling Hana no Mai, it's the best ✌️
Enjoy the spring mood! Hanaharu's unfiltered raw Junmai Ginjo. It has great flavor and freshness 😉. The best marriage of grilled clams, asparagus, spring bonito, and horse mackerel at the Spring Gozen 😋✌️.
Enjoy the warmer weather and spring 🌸! Kenken Dai-kai" was held with swordfish sashimi and kenken bonito tataki!
I bought a bottle of Wakatsuru Sake's Naekaya to go with the sake, as I knew it would go well with all kinds of snacks from Toyama. As expected, they complemented each other perfectly. It was a great taste that I never get tired of 😋✌️.
When I have hay fever🤧 and can't help myself, I eat what I like and drink it and forget about it! I heard it's called Amane from Echino Kanme and it's easy to drink and goes well with food 😉. I'll be having it with my favorite wild yellowtail and bonito sashimi with garlic 😋👍.
Spring is ahead ‼︎ spring cabbage 🥬 and sand sardines stir-fried with salt (pakuchi mashimashi 😉) and bamboo shoots with kinomame. My favorite sake from Sakata, Hatsuson Spring Junmai Daiginjo. The best marriage 😋👍 for a slow sports-watching ⚾️ friend.
Got a striped horse mackerel 🐟 today at my favorite fish store! I served it as sashimi and a little seared 😁. The sake to go with it was Ishizuchi from Ehime. I thought for sure it would go well with the sake from Ehime, but as expected from a prefecture of seafood ‼︎, they brought out the best flavor from each other and it was an endless loop of the best flavor 😋👍.
I got a bottle of Ume Nishiki's Tsunoshu at a product exhibition in Ehime. It is mellow and sweet, but has no habit, so you can gobble it up 😅.
I paired it with dried hokke and squid with liver! Absolutely delicious 😋.
Today's brunch dinner (usually night shift stuff 😅) is stir-fried chicken and Chinese cabbage with gapao. And a cup of sake from Ume Nishiki. I can't resist a cup of sake at noon 🤣.
It's cold on a holiday like this 🥶 and I feel like having this combination. Hida-no-dobu🍶 from Watanabe Sake Brewery and chicken nabe with plenty of burdock root and wild vegetables! The best combination in winter 😋👍. Like Laughing Man's comic dialogue, not a pile of bokeh, but a pile of deliciousness ‼︎
It is more like a wine than a sake 😁. I recommend it even to those who do not like sake. I recommend this sake with sakura shrimps and grated spicy daikon. Crab cakes with miso. Miso gobo natto. Best 😋‼︎
Hakusetsu🍶 by local brewer Konishi Shuzo. It is a very well-balanced sake without being overpowering. It's easy to drink and you can enjoy it in large gulps 😅. I decided to have duck shabu shabu today and decided on this sake and it was a great decision ‼︎ I want to pat myself on the back 🤣.
ROSE colored effervescent nigori sake. It is said to have a strawberry-like aroma, but it is strawberry 🍓😁. But it is not sweet and refreshing. I paired it with the leftovers from Setsubun (Setsubun): cod roe sardines and miso gobo (burdock root).
There was a freshly squeezed bottle of Masumi, a freshly brewed sake from Miyasaka Brewery, so I tried it. It had the usual mellowness and thickness. On a cold day like this🥶, grouper hot pot is the best marriage. 🍲‼︎😋
