This is the first sake from Iki Island that I have encountered. It is made from 100% Aizan rice suitable for sake brewing and brewed with groundwater from Iki Island. It is delicious with a well-balanced taste. It has a nice light sweetness. Even without any snacks, the sake alone is enough to keep you going.

Shimane Prefecture's booth was at a neighborhood festival, and I bought it there. Sake from a sake brewery in Tsuwano. It was served on the day of the Ushi (the day of the ox) with an unagi (broiled eel) bento from an eel restaurant. It has a robust junmai flavor that doesn't lose out to the strong flavors of the meal. It is also good heated in winter.

I bought it at a store called "Yugan-no-Sato" in Tawa, Sanuki City, while passing by. It seems to be sold only here (they use their own rice and brew it here, too), and is a very rare sake. The yeast is very active, and according to the warning, "In some cases, as much as half of the sake may spill over. It can reach the ceiling with great force," so it takes about 20 minutes to fully open the bottle, letting off the gas little by little. It has a very rice-grain texture, a sweet sake-like mouthfeel, and a strong acidity that seems peculiar, but the more you drink, the more delicious it becomes.

A sake brewery had a stall at a local shrine festival. The brewer recommended "this is good with tama-konnyaku," so I bought it without hesitation. It has a robust yet refreshing flavor, and it certainly goes well with tamakonnyaku and yakisoba.

After visiting five sake breweries in Suwa, I tasted a bottle of Maihime and chose one from each brewery as a souvenir. This junmai ginjo brewed with Yamae-Nishiki sake rice has a mild sweetness and a gorgeous flavor. Yamae-Nishiki sake is delicious at any brewery in Suwa.

It has a slightly sour taste with a junmai-like aftertaste and a ginjo aroma. Gokotsuru is not easily distributed, so this is a rare bottle.

We toured five sake breweries in Suwa and purchased sake that was sold only at the breweries. It is a rare sake from Masumi. It has a crisp junmai flavor with a slight cedar barrel aroma. The taste is typical of Masumi, and in a good sense, everyone likes it. It is also nice that the label has the gate of Sera Masumi on it.

This is a canned sake that I bought at the Mikotsuru Sake Brewery in Shimosuwa, which I visited for the first time. Usually, these one-cup sake cans are brewed sake, but this one is junmai (pure rice). It has a junmai-like flavor and a light, refreshing taste. It is a good travel companion.

After walking around Suwa Gokura, I bought this one for drinking in my room. It has a heavy, robust flavor with a hint of sourness. Since it is Children's Day, I paired it with Kashiwa Mochi. The freshness of the oak leaves enhances the flavor of nigori sake.

A friend gave this sake to me. 7 years old, but it has a strong old sake-like flavor. It has a strong acidity, but strangely enough, it is not unbalanced. I can't drink this one very much! Let's drink it in small doses.
