At a corner bar in the neighborhood, we enjoyed tempura and skewers from the shopping street. Hiyayogoroshi, which is unique to this season, was served well chilled. It has just the right richness and aftertaste.

Purchased at an event, opened the bottle on the spot instead of taking it home.
It is said to be 19°, but it is easy to drink at room temperature. You don't feel the high alcohol content, so I had to be careful not to drink too much.

It had been a little while since I bought it, so it had separated in the bottle, but I shook it well before opening it.
At first it looked like supernatant, but gradually became a thick cloudy taste. But the taste was not heavy like makgeolli, and it was easy to drink and delicious.
Godo Shusei, a company I have been familiar with for a long time, is now called Oenon?

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.

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.

The taste is gorgeous despite being junmai (pure rice). It is easy to drink.
When I went to the brewery, I found that it had been sold to a wholesaler and was not available at the store, so I was glad to have it here!

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.
