The nose is assertive. On the palate, the bite of ripe grapes lingers in the corners of the tongue. Nice. Sake Oendan, the first brewery in Japan to sell daiginjo sake in 1963. I had never heard of this brewery in Kyushu before.

Pale red cosmos on an autumn day. Swaying in a casual huddle. About five years ago, I drank "Shinsei" in Fukuoka with my daughter from my bachelor days. Today, I'm drinking "Cosmos" with her daughter-in-law and her family who live nearby. It's an autumn evening when we can chew on the happiness of the day.

When you take it out of the fridge, it has a refreshing and sweet taste. It has a nice crisp taste. But when you sip it, the sweetness of the fruit without any bad taste spreads. Nice.

No, I still like it. I'm not sure if drinking is right for you or not. I drink a lot of Bunkato and Rizure, but the Junmai Ginjo of "Gin no Yume" rice used here has a strong aroma and mellowness, but the acidity is a little different. Is it slightly different? I want to enjoy the taste of this rice.

Even though it is not pure rice, the aroma of rice comes first. But it goes down smoothly, and the sweetness of the rice dances on your tongue after you drink it. Interesting, the description that it's perfect for thin Japanese food. It seems to be made by Aun's brothers.

The mid-autumn moon has passed, but I found it in the back of the fridge. The aroma is faint, and the sweetness is mellow and lingers until the end. The rabbit in my dreams has a sweet tooth. It was a gold medal at the 2018 Wine Glass of Good Sake Awards.

It's a drink that heralds the arrival of fall. The engraving on the bottle was September 1. I drank it chilled, but it would be better at room temperature. Ishizuchi Shuzo's Green Label Junmai Ginjo is standard, but this special junmai has taken a bit of time and a summer's experience to develop a nice acidity and umami flavor. I wonder if it was specially made, or if the cap on the bottle is the same as the green label.

This is a drink recommended by the owner of the restaurant. Certainly, it suits me. Sake and sake is also a luxury item. I always think it's a personal preference. However, I don't know if my moniker will be blurred and I don't know if I have a standard. But I have the same tastes as the owner of this restaurant. It calls to mind and we drink too much.

It's a raw sake. I found it in a local store. I bought it because the ribbon was inviting. A drink with a ribbon, symbolizing the Citrus Ribbon Movement's wish for "I'm home," "welcome home" and everyday life, even in the wake of the Corona disaster.

This is the real brew? This is indeed Iso-Jiman Shuzo. They have their own in-house brewery, and it's not just alcohol added for brewing. You wouldn't know it if they called it a ginjo-shu. So this is Iso Boasting-san. Now I understand why the owner emphasizes it.

I drank it cold, but as it says, I'd prefer it at room temperature or lukewarm. Yagi Shuzo, a brewer of Yamatan Masamune, has a lot of very crisp sake, just as they call it. It may be a rare sake in Ehime, where many of their products have a sweet taste. Short-stalked Watifune is the name of the rice that is the father of Yamadanishiki.

A fellow drinker told me that the standard sake from Ehime is either Ishizuchi-no-Midori (green label) or this Kagiya Kuro. It claims to be a Japanese sake, but does not interfere with the food. Each can be harmonized with a good sense of distance. I like my drinking buddies.

From the name of the product and the color of the bottle, my first impression was that it would fall into the summer sake category. When I actually drank it, I could say it had a dignified, elegant and mature taste. To be honest, it didn't have much of an impressive flavor, but I felt it was a refined and well-balanced junmai ginjo sake. I had the same comments about the liquor store I was introduced to. As you can imagine, he knows better than I do, so I introduced him as is.

A friend of mine in Hiroshima prepared this for me as a drinker. Today I was taught the lesson of impermanence of sake, as well as alcohol. No matter how hard you put your heart and soul into it, if it goes down your throat, it might as well be just a liquid. But the moment you pour the sake, the atmosphere, the food, and the moment you put it in your mouth, you have to think about the people who were involved in the creation of the sake - the first taste, the middle taste, the second taste, the finish, and the occasional taste. That's what it's all about, isn't it? There is now, even if it is impermanent. There is a now that is thinking about it. I am alive. I got drunk on Sara Shuangju.

Today's snack was Tochigi no deep-fried tofu. It is a very good sake. I had it in the fridge, so I drank it cold, but it should be lukewarm soon. It is a sake with no aim, and it is likely to be drunk idly.

This is a "Junmai Ginjo Yamada Nishiki Shiragiku" from Sento Shuzo. It is made from 100% Yamadanishiki rice. It's a bit quirky and unpleasant on the palate, maybe on purpose, but it's still sweet on the palate and has a nice crispness to it. It's the "Igosso" sake of Tosa, or maybe it's me today.

On a holiday, it is Hakkaisan of a gift to a home. This is good. It doesn't matter what kind of food you drink. When you drink it at any temperature, it has a nice modest presence.

A retail-only Junmai sake. Cost-effective for home drinking. The rice is 100% Yamadanishiki and the rice polishing ratio is 68%. Sake meter value +2.5 and acidity 1.4. You can't drink it all at home. The cap is not exposed to the air. It's crisp, but still has a twang to it. Drinking in the hiya, the sake follows the temperature change of one sip without being averse to it. I like it.
