Back at the hotel, I thought I'd have some tea in the lounge. Peeking inside, I found sake. Just a little to finish off the day. Got some info on Kōei Kiku's new product. Immediately placed an order with the manager at Fukurokuju and promised to visit next week. Something new to look forward to!🍶 Technical Details Rice Polishing Ratio (Koji Rice): 65% Rice Polishing Ratio (Kake Rice): 65% Alcohol Content: 15%

I also asked for this along with the Asahi-taka. Katsuki Gori Junmai Daiginjo 50 from Kochi. Last Valentine's Day, my wife bought me chocolate from this brand, but this is my first time trying the sake. Turns out I've actually had it quite a bit without realizing it was Katsuki. Including the chocolate, this is my sixth time. It's not as sweet as the CEL24 I had before, but the cloudy sake is definitely on the sweeter side. Finished off with pork curry udon and am stuffed. Master mentioned he's going to Nagano in February to tour the Mikotsuru brewery and also stop by Shinshu Kairei. Please tell me about your tour to Ueda and Lake Suwa! After about an hour, we wrapped up for the day and headed back to the hotel.

Carefully, carefully, to avoid slipping on the icy road. Outside, it's quite freezing. Opening the door, the master smiles. Just one seat was free at the counter. "Please, please, have a seat." Checking daily new arrivals on SNS ✅ Asahi Taka was still available. Well, since the 14th Generation was gone, I'll go with this. Sakenowa, 20th check-in for Asahi Taka 👀 The new sake, aged in storage, is indescribably delicious. Since I had some at Mishina, I'll just have two cups with light snacks.

The last sake of the day. When discussing recommendations with Waka the previous day, this GMF:24 Junmai Daiginjo Unfiltered Raw Sake was suggested as excellent. Since my debut at Tsuruoka's Ayatsuru Bar four years ago, with a rice polishing ratio of 24%, it simply couldn't be bad. While the fruitiness is less pronounced than in Nigori Hattan Nishiki or Kankiku Hushu Yuzuru, it's a calm, fine sake. A taste comparison contrasting with Seiki. We had plenty of ojiya rice porridge and called it a night around here. They'd been open late the previous day too... and the head chef was working for the first time in a while, so he must be tired. Please get some rest early. Confirmed the arrival of the 14th generation early next month. Need to set plans soon. It's right around... the Sapporo Snow Festival season. Let's escape to Hakodate ✈️ Alright, time to visit one more place for New Year greetings. They saw me off, saying "Be careful, the roads are slippery at night" 🧊 Details: Rice: Dewa San San (Yamagata Prefecture) Polishing Ratio: 24% Yeast: Yamagata Yeast Sake Meter Value: -8 Acidity: 1.6 Alcohol: 16.5% Amino Acid Level: 0.8

The cleanup's mostly done. Had a little chat with Waka. Since the hotpot leftovers are running low, it seems he'll make us some rice porridge. Well then, time for one last drink. Would the same pairing be alright this time too? A little adventure, Seiki. It says warm sake is recommended. But since it's a junmai daiginjo, I'll have it cold. Whoa, quite unique. It stands apart from the other sakes we had today. This was my first time trying this brand, but I see many famous people drink it on Sakenowa. Two years of low-temperature aging. Everyone seems to think highly of it. I'll enjoy the last moments comparing it with the other pairing.

Instead of sukiyaki, we got a hot pot Seafood, chicken, meatballs, tofu, konnyaku, scallions, and plenty of napa cabbage Hakodate was pretty chilly that day Let's enjoy delicious sake while poking at the piping hot pot Naturally, a premium sake here: Nakano Junmai Ginjo Hattanshiki Nama Hattanshiki was previously pasteurized at Sapporo Tourin, and the Nama version at Sapporo Shigi38 Then, a reunion with the Nama at Mishina It spreads in your mouth, ending with a clean finish and a slight bitterness. After New Year's, surrounded by good sake. Soon the group of customers will be leaving. The head chef and the young chef start cleaning up. Once things settle down, maybe we can talk?

Daily visits. On this day, the head chef made an appearance. New Year's greetings. With many group customers, the young staff focused on cooking in the back. When the head chef asked, "What would you like?", I opted for the usual 90ml serving. First, the Senkin I couldn't drink yesterday. Modern style, first pressing Nakadori, kimoto, additive-free, unpasteurized sake. Being a Nakadori, it's a rich-flavored sake, but as always, the kimoto acidity is delicious 😋 I had requested sukiyaki the previous day if possible, but apparently they didn't get good meat, so they suggested another recommendation. Agreed. I'd had the first pressing and the first run, so this was my first time trying the middle run. Details: Rice: Yamada Nishiki Specifications: Kimoto, unfiltered, unpasteurized, unblended sake Rice: Yamada Nishiki 100% Alcohol content: 13% (unblended)

The final selection of the day: choosing sake labels. The bagged sake was fruity. The cold winter yellowtail label was an ultra-dry, cloudy sake. Three and a half hours flew by in the blink of an eye⏳ There are still brands I'm curious about that I didn't get to try, so I'll be visiting again daily.

The next pairing: I requested the local sake. For the New Year's sake offering, I chose Yamada Nishiki for the Kabashiko. The Kabashiko had decreased significantly over these two days, so it wasn't very fizzy, but I'm grateful to have received the local sake. The salt-grilled jumbo salmon belly was rich with oil and absolutely delicious 🐎. It really goes down well with sake 🍶. By the way, this KABASHIKO is apparently the second batch. They showed me the empty bottle from the first batch they drank earlier. The young master said the second batch has a stronger sweetness.

Hanayōyoku offers sweetness, while Écru delivers a delightful sweet-and-sour balance—a perfect pairing. Lately, the cost of procuring sake has risen, forcing them to increase prices across the board. For this year's New Year's osechi dishes, the young chef handled everything alone, sharing how much he appreciates the head chef and proprietress. I found myself thinking, "If I lived in Hakodate, I would have ordered their osechi!" The hamburger steak came with snow peas 🫛 and Japanese arrowhead.

Since the end of last year, I've been getting half portions of combinations in the same price range, thanks to my young friend indulging my whims. Toyohai and Kaze no Mori are the same price. Next up is the combination of Hana Yōyoku and Écru. THE PREMIUM Hattan Nishiki, 40% polished, unfiltered raw sake—this has been our annual tradition for three years running. Pineapple juice, hooray!🙌🥤🍹 Now that the young one has settled down a bit, we're chatting away, getting excited talking about sake and baseball.

Paired with Toyohai was Kaze no Mori, a limited edition with an unfamiliar label. Aroma: Slightly unique. Taste: Quite punchy. Toyohai was fruitier than expected, so I savored the difference.👅 As it warmed up, it settled nicely.♪ Earlier today, while chatting with friends about Toyohai, I learned another person had ties to Nara, so I promptly shared I'd tried Nara sake.

Here we go, finally starting my personal selection▶️ First up: Toyohai and Kaze no Mori During the day, my sake-loving friends were talking about how delicious Toyohai from Aomori Prefecture is, and someone asked me what kind of sake it is. Checking my past history on Sakenowa, I found it already 32 times. But it turns out I haven't encountered it since September 2024. I just found it at Mishina, so let's go try it now! This is my third time having it since way back at Kibun Sushi in Aomori and Noie in Kagurazaka. Since it's the first bottle opened, I'll pop the cap. It's junmai, but surprisingly fruity. Seeing the customer in the back and me order it, they ordered some too. Toyohai, fantastic👍. For the snack, I tried stewed hamburger steak for the first time. Later, I got the secret recipe for making hamburger steak from Waka㊙️.
