Kaze no Mori is made from Nara Prefecture's new sake rice, Nanaro. I think I drank it for the first time.
It had a softly sweet aroma but was refreshing and somewhat dry.

This is the MIYOI Craft series, which is made by fermenting fruits and other ingredients produced by Osaka farmers together.
This one is a sparkling wine made with Shine Muscat and blueberries.
The alcohol content is 12%, making it quite easy to drink.
As one might expect, it is not sake, but as a drink, it was very tasty.

Craft saké made in an apartment complex in Takatsuki.
It came to Adachi farm brewery.
As a sake drinker from Takatsuki City, I had wanted to go there for a long time, but the location was not good enough for me to visit.
It is amazing that Adachi Nojo Brewery is located in Takatsuki, Osaka, in the Tonda Danchi area. Why such a place?
I got a set of sake to compare.
There is a brewery attached to the restaurant and two tanks. The other sakes were also basically fruit-based.
The taste was firmly sake. It was refreshing and soft to drink. It was also made with a lactic acidity, which certainly goes well with a glass of wine.
The alcohol content of this sake was 14 degrees. I have an image that sake is considered low-alcohol from that level, but here they had one at 8 degrees. According to the owner, most of the customers here are women, and those who are not accustomed to drinking sake feel that even 12 degrees is too strong. Therefore, she made the 8-draft sake.

I couldn't take a picture of the bottle, so I took this one from another souvenir shop.
I drank a lot of Fukushi.
Junmai, Junmai Ginjo, and this Daiginjo.
It is a robust sake with a traditional flavor.
It is a pleasure to taste this kind of sake in your hometown when you are away from home.

Another sake served at the bar where we enjoy Fukuji is called Kirisouzuku.
This reads "Musouda".
It is limited to the brewery and does not seem to be well distributed.
It has a somewhat modern flavor, which I think differentiates it from Fukuji.
I would like to drink it in Tokyo as well, since there are so many variations.

A standard sake of Ki.
It has acidity and a strong umami taste.
At this point, I was on my 6th glass, so I was pretty exhausted.
After this, we closed the restaurant and went to karaoke together.
What kind of night was this?

I got this one with the intention of drinking it warmed up.
I wasn't expecting it, but it heated up very well.
I would recommend drinking it at about 45 degrees.

Mimuro cedar, which I haven't had in a while, is very tasty.
The person I drank it with yesterday said that he couldn't find a better sake than Mimuro Cedar, which makes me think so.

This was also served hot.
It is a Bodhi yeast with a little bit of a peculiar taste, and it seems to warm up when it is heated.
It goes really well with ham katsu senbei (ham cutlet rice crackers).
This one is good too.
7/10
I brought ham katsu senbei (ham cutlet crackers) to the restaurant and drank them with heated sake!
The owner and I verified that ham cutlet crackers go well with heated sake.
We concluded that it does.
It's like a wet rice cracker with a strong flavor.
It would have been better with a more robust sake.
6/10
It seems to be a new sake from Drunken Whale.
It really doesn't taste like Drunken Whale at all.
It is fruity but has a clear taste.
Is this what makes it like Drunken Whale?
I wonder what "TYPE25" means.

Participated in the Lake Saroma Ultra Marathon.
The result was disappointing, so I went to Kushiro for a drink to take my mind off things.
It seems that there is a sake brewery in Kushiro, and the brand name is "Fukuji. I looked for a place where I could drink it, and found a store specializing in Fukuji, so I decided to go there.
It is a counter-only restaurant run by the proprietress alone. The interior was like a snack bar, but it was clean and relaxing.
She served me a second brand of Fukuji's sake called "Goshiki Saikumo," which is written "Nusamai," which I wondered what it was written as. I wondered what it meant, but I was told that it was written in Japanese and that there is a bridge nearby called "Mushimai-bashi". It was also mentioned in a Kenichi Mikawa song. It is a symbolic bridge of Kushiro, the town of the setting sun.
This is a modern type, with a scent like acacia flowers. I asked the proprietress if it is because a young person has taken over the brewery after a long time. When I asked the proprietress about this, she told me, "Yes, yes, he is my son. I had no idea it was her mother. It is a nice store.
Hi, Southern Cross Shine, I'm with you 😃.
Ultra marathon! I'm just so proud to be able to participate 😅.
I guess it was a coincidence or maybe an inevitable flow from the brand name "FUKUSHI" 😊.
Hi Southern Cross Shine 🐦.
Thanks for the ultramarathon😊I hope you are still ok with the heat.
I didn't think you had any history with the brewery, a specialty store for sake brewers, but I didn't think it was your mother 😳that was a pleasant surprise 😆.
Good evening, Jay & Nobby! The ultramarathon was just a challenge, anyone can do it 🥺.
Fukuji, good to meet you! It seems not much is available outside of Hokkaido. I want to go back when I go to Kushiro!
Good evening, Pon - ☺️
I had to retire from the ultramarathon after 65km in 32 degree heat 🥺.
I wondered what was going on since the restaurant specializes in fukuji, but I didn't expect it to be a family! It was a fun night in Kushiro at a very nice restaurant ☺️

Fukushima Prefecture's Fukunoka is used for this sake.
The clean label, which is rare nowadays, is conversely pleasant.
The taste is light.
It is easy to drink because of its acidity and sweetness in the latter half.
It is the type of sake that you can drink easily.
It was a good time to get a little drunk.

Walk on the Wild Side, an isogai rice series by Miyoshikiku. I wonder if it is based on Lou Reed's song.
The label is as elaborate and cool as ever.
The taste was sour and complex, typical of Omachi. Delicious.
7/10
Tanzawayama's flagship.
It's an aged junmai sake designed to be heated, so naturally it was served heated.
It's a round, umami sake with a delicious flavor.
It was the second sake after the first, which was a more serious one, so it soaked up even more of my work.
7/10
I don't know if this is a standard item or if it is common in the restaurants I go to, but I have many opportunities to drink the Sake Rice Exploration Series.
This is Hachitan-Nishiki.
I think I drank it last year, too.
It has a sourness that makes it refreshing to drink.
It is also characterized by a complex flavor and a spice-like bitterness.
6/10
I've been so busy with work that I haven't been able to keep track.
I'll try to write a little more simply from now on.
Mainly feelings rather than tastes.
This is Gen no Taki, which is a standard sake in Toyama.
It is located in Kurobe, and when I participated in the Kurobe Meisui Marathon, there was a signboard that was quite fierce.
It is a bit hard to drink, but the water is good, and it tastes good.
It is the kind of sake that sake lovers like.
7/10
This sake is made entirely from Omachi, and is made using the Bodai yeast method.
1859 means 1859, the year Omachi was first produced.
It has a slightly dry and classic taste.
It is easy to drink because it is not heavy.
It is a little gassy, but you can drink it quickly.
It is probably best served cold, but I think it is a sake that can be played with in various ways.
7/10
Summer sake from Nihon Izumi.
It's good that it's so clean and refreshing.
It is fresh because it is a draft sake, though the 15% alcohol content is a bit lacking.
You can feel a little bit of acidity.
I think it is a sake that can be easily matched with meals.
