I have never tasted rice from "a bolt from the blue," but sake brewed with 100% of that rice is easy to drink. The ginjo aroma spreading in the mouth is also good.

Purchased in Nara, this was my first time to drink Sanomorosugi as I did not drink it there.
It has a mild and well-balanced taste with a slight sourness.

I had purchased this sake when I passed through Maebashi city by train before. It has a slightly sweet aftertaste, but is refreshing and easy to drink. It is light and easy to drink. I would like to buy a four-pack next time.

At an eel restaurant on a trip. It is crisp, elegant and dry, and goes well with eel. Many of the sake we met in Nara were from the Nara Toyosawa Sake Brewery. A good match.

This is the second restaurant I wandered into on my trip.
Since I was in Nara, I wanted to have a drink at Kaze no Mori.
When I saw that they had sparkling wine on tap, I ordered it. The refreshing taste made me drink more without any snacks at all.

The second cup, also at the restaurant where I was traveling. Junmai Ginjo, a limited time only, fire-aged sake. Light flavor for an unfiltered sake. It has a good amount of acidity.

At the restaurant where I was traveling. Perhaps it is because the store only sells sake made by the Nara Toyosawa Sake Brewery, but a cup of this sake is inexpensive at 350 yen!
The sake itself is a junmai (pure rice). You can drink it without hesitation.

This was also served at an izakaya (Japanese-style bar) I entered on my trip. It is a pure rice made from 100% Yamadanishiki produced in Nara Prefecture. It has a crisp mouthfeel with a sour taste.

At a restaurant I wandered into on my trip. As this sake is only available at special dealers, my expectations were high!
As expected, the taste was thick and rich. It goes well with the wasabi-flavored potato salad, which I had for the first time. Quite delicious.

At the tavern of your dreams. The slight scent of cedar is refreshing.

Sake from Kuriyama-cho, Hokkaido, which is not often seen. The first sip was light, but the more you drink, the more robust the flavor becomes and the more you can enjoy its junmai-like character.

This nigori sake had been sitting in the refrigerator for several months after purchase. The separation was so great that I mixed it well and opened the bottle.
I thought it would be easy to drink while the acidity was strong, but after a few minutes of opening the bottle, it had already solidified in the bottle. After mixing it well again, it became thick and coarse like amazake, and the acidity was not felt that much anymore.
This is an interesting nigori sake that changes in flavor as time goes by. It may be hard to find a nigori that is this thick and coarse.

Another sake bought at a brewery in Shodoshima.
It has a clean yet robust flavor. I've only had two different kinds of sake from the Shodoshima brewery, but both are robust and perhaps this flavor is what makes them so special. I would like to try the other one again.

Purchased at Shodoshima Shuzo, a brewery on Shodoshima. I chose Junmai (pure rice) from the many varieties available.
It has a very robust flavor with a hint of acidity. It is very drinkable. Along with the chicken we happened to purchase today, we ate and drank Kagawa Prefecture's products.

Purchased at Okayama Station on the way back from a trip. Omachi is famous in Okayama. This junmai ginjo brewed with rice from that region has a viscous but light aftertaste with a hint of ginjo aroma and is very easy to drink.

Okayama doesn't have any "corel" sake, but on the contrary, all of them are good.
After Gozenshuu, I guess...
After Gozenshu, is sake the next best thing?

Cold (room temperature) Yoshinogawa for a body chilled by the cold rain. The dry taste is good. Enjoy the downtown atmosphere at a popular izakaya (izakaya is used for various filming purposes).

First time in Gunma Prefecture. It is made from 100% Maikaze sake rice produced in Midori-shi, Gunma Prefecture. It is not so heavy and easy to drink. It has a slight ginjo aroma. I am drinking it with tsumemina, but it would be good as a food sake as well.

It was on sale at a local supermarket, which was unusual for me, so I bought it immediately. When I opened the bottle, I heard the sound of air escaping. The taste is very easy to drink, with a sour but firm body. Delicious!

Unlike Dewazakura's "Dewazanzan Birthday Commemoration", which is also made by Dewazakura, it tastes lighter when chilled. When the sake is cooled down to "chilled" temperature, the junmai-like character comes out, and I prefer this one.

At a familiar corner bar. It tastes easy to drink even though it is a Yamahai.
