Omachi 65% polished rice

A visit to the brewery. The brewery is located in the landscape protection zone of the old Izumo Highway connecting Izumo with Himeji. The storefront is tasteful and wonderful.
We visited the directly managed store across the street from the brewery. We listened to various explanations about the sake. The brewery plans to brew all of its sake from now on using Omachi and Bodaihashiro brewing.
When we asked him about sake recommendations, he recommended the Bodai-Hashiroshi brewed sake. We felt their enthusiasm as they are going to brew sake with Omachi and Bodai Hashiro.
The aroma is gentle and nutty, and the umami comes to the forefront. Sake with delicious rice flavor.
May go well with simmered white meat fish.

To Hiroshima to visit an old friend
On the way back to Hiroshima, we took a side trip and visited a sake brewery street in Saijo. However, because it was the Bon Festival, nearly half of the breweries were closed. Kamerei, which I was looking for, was also closed. As we were about to leave, a local sake shop was opening on the outskirts of Saijo Sake Brewery Street. When I entered the store, I found that it was full of locally brewed sake. I immediately asked the shopkeeper if he had any recommendations for Kamerei sake, and he recommended this sake. I was told that this sake is not sold outside of the city and is only brewed for sale at local liquor stores, so I immediately purchased it.
The aroma was strong and nutty, with a hint of pear, and the color was crystal with a slight yellow tinge. The first sip reveals a refreshing acidity and sweetness. The robust flavor is impressive. It was a good decision to buy it. It would go well with dried horse mackerel.

Stopped by during a visit to my wife's parents' home. It was a trip from one end of Gunma Prefecture to the other, but we did our best. We visited a small direct sales place next to a large office.
After listening to various stories, we bought an IWC award-winning Junmai Daiginjo!
Polishing ratio: 50%.
Alcohol content: 15%.
When I got home, I was excited to open the bottle and pour it into a glass. The floral and floral aroma, sweetness, and umami immediately follow in the mouth. The slight bitterness gives it a nice sharpness.

Otafuku Junmai Ginjyo
Hachitan-Nishiki
Polishing ratio 60
15.5% alcohol by volume
Visiting Hiroshima to see an old friend, I stopped by a roadside station in Higashi-Hiroshima on my way home. While I was wondering what kind of sake I was looking for in front of the sake fridge, a store owner asked me what kind of sake I was looking for. He recommended Otafuku. He recommended Otafuku, which is produced in small quantities and not available outside of the prefecture. My expectations were high 😃.
The aroma is mildly nutty and citrusy. The first sip has a refreshing acidity and a ginjo aroma that wafts through the nose, followed immediately by the umami of the rice and a great sharpness. I think it goes well with white fish sashimi.

I went to Hiroshima to visit a friend.
As usual, we ate okonomiyaki, drank beer, and talked about all kinds of things, but most of the liquor stores near the hotel were closed.
We had no choice but to go to a convenience store to get some sake, and we found a one-cup Ozeki Daiginjo on sale, so we tried it for the first time!
The aroma was not gorgeous, but the taste was mild and dry. The aroma is not spectacular, but it is mild, clean and dry. There is not much sweetness, and the acidity and astringency give it a refreshing and crisp finish.
It would go well with dried oily fish.

Visit to the brewery of Tsuji Honten, a sake brewery located in the landscape protection zone of the old Izumo Highway connecting Himeji and Izumo. The storefront is also tasteful and wonderful.
We visited the directly managed store across the street from the brewery. They explained to us about their sake and told us that from now on, they will brew all of their sake with Omachi and Bodihashiroshime brewing.
We asked him what he recommended for a little sake to drink this evening. He recommended a can of Bodai Hashiroshi nigori sake.
I took a long-awaited sip before going to bed. As soon as I opened the can, I was hit with the aroma of sweet apples. I was expecting Bodai Hashiroshi to be more peculiar, but it tasted sweet, mellow, fruity, and sharp with a strong acidity. Too bad it is only 180ml. I would like to try it with apple pie.

Back home to Gunma
I visited a roadside station where I stopped to buy local vegetables.
According to an Internet search, the brewery mainly makes sake using the traditional sake yeast. Our expectations were high.
My wife's choice, Junmai Ginjo (Junmai Ginjyo)
The color is clear.
The aroma of the sake is calm and has a ginjo aroma.
The first sip has a sourness characteristic of the sake's "nama yeast" origin, followed by sweetness and umami, and the sake is crisp and clear.

At a nearby supermarket, I searched for a sake from a Gunma sake brewery and bought it!
The aroma is fresh like a young peach, the first sip has a dry acidity, followed by a refreshing sweetness, and a crisp dry ginjo-shu.
Would go well with pizza margarita with lots of cheese!

Went to Gunma to visit my wife's parents' grave.
While looking for a sake from a Gunma sake brewery at a nearby supermarket, I saw a label that said it was an IWC award-winning sake, so I bought it!
The first sip had a sweet peachy aroma and a refreshing grape-like flavor. The sweetness, acidity, and bitterness are well balanced, and the umami has a deep flavor.
It would go well with cold shabu pork.
