22.03. Mansyuusen, which I had avoided until now. When heated, it has the richness of junmai, but the spiciness pushes through, and when lukewarm, it has a complex aftertaste in the mouth. This is the bottom line of Manjusen. But with the recent trend toward umakuchi, I suspect that the positioning of this wine is not so subtle.

22.03. Celebration sake, also called Kaiun, drunk at a celebration. It is a honjozo sake, so it is not very rich, but the taste is well balanced.

22.02. Familiar Sawanotsuru, which was once played in commercials. It's been a while since I've had Nada sake, but it's stable with a sense of nostalgia.

This is one of the rumored bottles that Richard Joffroy, the fifth generation chief brewer of Dom Perignon, personally produced in Shiraiwa, Tateyama Town in Toyama. Actually, I had bought it more than half a year ago, but I was skeptical because of the precedent of the scent of wealth when it comes to France, so I neglected it, and my friends happened to open the same bottle at my birthday dinner. This is a new sensation❗️Not in a bad way. The first sip has a subtle yeast flavor, but after the second sip, the taste is a perfect balance of sourness and spiciness, with a clean feeling. It's not a bad thing. I think I might like this one! This wine is made by assembling Yamada Nishiki, Omachi, Gohyakumangoku sake rice, and five types of yeast. So the next day, I opened a bottle I had been saving with another friend who happened to be visiting my house 😆. The brewery was founded in 2018 and not yet registered, so I'll write it down as Shiraiwa Corporation. https://iwa-sake.jp/ja/

I got this bottle as a birthday gift from a friend. If you drink it chilled, you'll be impressed by the richness of the original sake, but if you heat it up, the flavor opens up. The dryness stands out, but the balance remains intact. It's an interesting drink.

22.02. Souvenir of New Year's visit to Ise. It's as good as it gets! It's fruity, but with a subtle sourness and a dry taste that lingers. It's unique. I heated it up lukewarm, but it's better to drink fruity sake cold. The complex flavors are lost.

22.01. A series of Kurobekyo from Hayashi Brewery. Compared to the Kurobe Gorge I drank before, it has a more subtle yeast-based taste. The selection of sake in restaurants seems to be divided into two categories: traditional sake and non-traditional sake. I have the impression that there are a few restaurants that focus on traditional sake.

22.01. My first sake from Hokkaido, served hot. It's a dry sake that I would have been satisfied with a while ago. The umami is okay, too. Goes well with hot sake.

21.01. Bought a mini bottle at a convenience store. I heated it up and drank it, but I didn't feel it had much character compared to other sakes I've been drinking lately. The acidity was moderate.

21.01. This is a maniacal bottle of Manjusen, made for Shogetsu, a Japanese restaurant near the brewery. It's recommended as a heated sake, so I take it. To be honest, I don't like Mansusen all that much, but it sure tastes good when heated. This complex flavor is unique to Manjusen.

21.01. As it is the same brewery as Hayashi, the aroma is superb. The taste of Hideki Hayashi, the brewer here, is truly wonderful. Of course, the taste is delicate and good!

21.01. I couldn't heat up the Hayashi, so I heated up the Chiyotsuru that was recommended to me. It has a nice balance of acidity, which can only be achieved by heating up a bottle of Toyama. It's so easy to drink that I probably drank 3 cups of it in no time at all😅.

The Miyamanishiki I drank in the past was sharp and fruity, but this one, made with Gohyakumangoku from Toyama, has an excellent aroma. Of course, the taste was also excellent. I was at a different restaurant last time, but unfortunately I didn't have the courage to ask the hostess, who is also from Toyama, to heat it up again 😅.

22.01. Chartier, famous for his molecular gastronomy cuisine in France, has teamed up with a Miyagi sake brewery to create this new wave sake. I dare say it's super dry on the sake scale. It's more like a sherry. I refrained from trying to warm it up because we drank it in a fancy hotel, but I'm sure it's not tuned like that. Personally, I'd prefer the sixty-five from Tanaka as well 😅. I haven't had a bottle of Toyama's IWA since I bought it, but I'm getting a bit worried because it's probably in the same vein...

I felt bad that I didn't drink any Miyagi sake while I was at Jikin no Sato, but now I've conquered Tohoku!

22.01. It's an orthodox dry sake similar to Yamori, and I think it's because of the Naruto tai that I opened it with. I'm sorry to say that it's a good sake for a meal.

21.12. This is delicious! It has a fruity sourness that is nice to drink cold, and it took me a while to figure out the best way to warm it up, but it turns out lukewarm is best. It's so good that the three of us went through the whole bottle on New Year's Day 😆.

21.12. 100% Omachi from Saga, so I was expecting it to be hot, but it's not quite there yet. It's not bad, but I wanted it to have more punch and fullness.
