7/10 Having enjoyed Toyama, we moved on to the Shinkansen. Of course, Tateyama is the place to be. You can tell how good Toyama Prefecture is because they sell fresh stored sake at the station. It has a mild flavor and a refreshing taste, which makes even the most mundane snacks on the Shinkansen a supreme accompaniment. This concludes my visit to Toyama.

9/10 And Tateyama. We had been drinking assemblage sake earlier, and this is also an assemblage sake. This sake is a blend of a special honjozo sake made from Yamadanishiki, a ginjozo sake, and a raw ginjozo sake. This sake is also very good. It is a refreshing sake with a lot of umami. It may be that I simply prefer Tateyama, but this is just too good. In fact, I bought a four-pack the next day and drank it all!

7/10 Assemblage 5 with a "I can't write anymore" feeling. So this means I drank from 2 to 5. The taste is definitely different from 3 and 4, but the image of complexity with layers of flavor remains the same. There is no doubt that it is an interesting sake, and I understand that it is unique. If I were to speak of simple preference, the reserve was delicious. I hope that this sake will continue to be a Toyama sake without becoming too rounded.

7/10 Followed by Assemblage 4. Well, it is difficult to get to this point. It is as complicated as ever, but I can't find the words to express it. Simply put, it is much more preferable than 2. I don't even know if "delicious" is the right word, so I'll just say I like it.

7/10 More IWA drinking comparison from here. We'll start with Assemblage 3. It was complex and had a soft, enveloping flavor. The first time I drank IWA5, I was like, "What the heck is this?

8/10 IWA5 was the next one to come out for a drink comparison after Hayashi, which is outrageous. The owner of Waka seemed to be the one who was also invited to the brewery and treated us to dinner, Richard walks around here once in a while. Richard sometimes walks around here. I was a little put off by IWA5 because of the difficulty of assemblage 2, but this reserve was outrageously delicious. I guess it is correct to say that the flavors are layered, and the wine was heavy and delicious. From here, IWA time begins.

7/10 The last one was made with Dewa Sanzu. Only this one was not a draft sake. I wondered why Dewa Sanzu was used all of a sudden. It has a rich umami flavor, but it is also a type of sake that finishes cleanly. It is relatively unassertive and modest. I wonder if it is positioned as a food sake.

7/10 The engine started to rev up from here and it was time to compare drinks. First, Hayashi. The photos are the same. The Yamada-Nishiki raw sake had a more subdued flavor than I expected, and seemed to be of a balanced type with a moderate aroma.

7/10 A change of pace with Tedorigawa's raw sake. It is 14% low alcohol, and although it is different from Yoshida Kurau's Yamahai line, I think the direction is becoming clearer. It is an aromatic and easy-drinking sake, a modern type with a sweet and sour taste. It is a modern type of sake with a sweet and sour taste.

6/10 Next is San Shoraku's Yamahai. San Shoraku has a certain image. This sake is made from Yamadanishiki produced in Nanto City, and has a good balance of umami and acidity while being robust. It has a classic taste, which is probably why it goes so well with the ingredients from Toyama Prefecture.

6/10 I have not written for about 3 months. I will write for 3 months. First of all, here are some of the sakes we had at Waka in Takaoka, Toyama Prefecture, where we visited the other day. Squid Junmai with squid sashimi. It is a sweet sake that matches the sweetness of squid. It is supposed to be served cold with sashimi, but it was also good at room temperature. Sake from Toyama followed.

7/10 Since we're here, another glass of heated sake. Yamakin Liquors' PB sake. Brewed by Yamanari Sake Brewery. It has a mild aroma and taste, and also warms up nicely. I enjoy it with Namero and a few others. Good time. What a nice store! If I lived in Okayama, I'd go there every day.

6/10 I participated in the Soja Kibiji Marathon in Okayama and successfully completed sub-4: ☺️ After that, I will be drinking as usual. I found a corner bar in the shopping arcade near Okayama Station called Yamakin Liquors and went in. The owner is very particular about his sake, and he says his main drink is heated sake. Since we were there, we decided to try some local sake from Okayama, which we had never had before. Musashi no Sato, which I had never had before, was certainly a sake that warmed up nicely, with a hearty flavor that became easier to drink as it warmed up. It was a cold day with a sprinkling of snow, so it was the perfect situation for a heated sake.

7/10 I had never heard of the term "hereden-zukuri. I wonder if it's "kaden-zukuri" or "kaden-zukuri. It is a matured sake with a strong flavor. I guess it would have been better heated, but it was fine cold as well. I think it would be better to drink it slowly, while bringing the temperature back up a little at a time. I wonder if this was the right choice for the last sake.

7/10 Unusual Senzuke made with Hyogo Nishiki. I wonder if there is a "Hyogo Nishiki from now on" kind of thing going on. As the description says "super dry", it has a dry finish. It has a crisp mouthfeel, and the rice flavor is quite mild. It does not taste umami-yummy, which is probably due to the rice. I will learn more about Hyogo-Nishiki.

Good evening, Jay & Nobby. ☺️ Senzuke is of course a staple in the Kansai region, and even in Tokyo, many well-known liquor stores carry it. I wonder if it is not so well distributed in your area 🤔If you see it, please drink it and let me know what you think!

9/10 Yamazan's Yamae Nishiki light nigori. This is delicious. Slightly sweet aroma and smooth mouthfeel. Well-balanced flavor. It is easy to drink with a hint of bitterness. What is this sweetness? Is it strawberry-like or pineapple-like? The juicy feeling that spreads from there is good, good, good. I want to buy it when I find it.

7/10 Yamamoto's standard winter drink. This is No. 6. I thought No. 6 would be more gentle and clean, but perhaps this one is more fruity. It is a little more complex. If I had to choose which one I like better, I would choose No. 6.

7/10 The standard Yamamoto drinking comparison. This one is No.7 yeast. Of course I understand the difference in taste between No. 6 and No. 7, but I got the impression there was less difference than I expected. I thought the No. 7 might be more floral, but I guess it has a little bit of a modern feel to it. Maybe it would be more different if I drink it in a wine glass.

6/10 This is the first Karakuchi liquid I've had. It is not extremely dry, but rather a crisp sake with a slight sweetness and umami. If you drink it thinking it is Kido, you will feel uncomfortable, but if you simply think it is a good sake, it is good.
