A day to bring in premium Osaka sake purchased at a certain foreign hotel and eat yakitori. Apparently, it is popular among foreign SAKE lovers. I had never seen this sake before, but it had a strong flavor, high strength, dry and elegant. It is different from the light Otter Sake and is, well, delicious. Alcohol 18%. Rice: Yamadanishiki produced in Hyogo Prefecture Polishing ratio: 35% for koji rice, 35% for kake rice Sake degree -7

I drank this after drinking a series of limited-edition, high-quality junmai daiginjo-shu, so the sweetness was a little too much for my taste buds, but if I had drunk it by itself, it would have been perfectly fine and tasty. My own mother, who was worried about the lack of sake, had bought more. We are thankful to have it with sushi. Alcohol content 15 Sake degree +0.5 Acidity 1.3 Ingredients: Rice (domestic), rice malt (domestic), brewers' alcohol Rice polishing ratio 50%.

New Year's Sake continues. Tsuneyama Tachibana was sold last year to commemorate the opening of the Fukui Shinkansen. After Naohiko Noguchi's vintage, it was very easy to drink and had a great mouthfeel and feel as a food sake. The three of us killed a four-pack in the blink of an eye 😆. Rice used: 100% specially cultivated rice from Miyama-Kamiajimi, Fukui Prefecture Brewing year: 2023BY Rice polishing ratio: 50% Alcohol content: 15 Junmai Daiginjo-shu (*An assemblage of Junmai Daiginjo-shu brewed with Miyamanishiki and Yamadanishiki respectively)

For the first sake of the year, I brought the very same Yamahai Junmai Daiginjo-shu made by Toji Noriguchi, who took on a new challenge at the age of 88 in the documentary film "NOGICHI", for my own father who is now 82. The bottle was opened. The story of the movie is embedded in the sake, which is very moving in itself, but the taste is also first-rate. It has a mellow aroma that is soft and translucent, a smooth mouthfeel, and a strong 18% alcohol content with a delicious rice flavor that lingers pleasantly on the palate. It has the strength of a Hokuriku sake, but at the same time it exudes a sense of luxury! Am I overstating things? But I know that it is different in class from the other sake I drink after that. A sake that all of us in the family of sake drinkers are very satisfied with. Let's drink it with care. Alcohol content 18 Rice polishing ratio 50%. Specific name: Yamahai Junmai Daiginshu Ingredient rice: 100% Yamadanishiki produced in Hyogo Prefecture Ingredients: Rice (domestic), Rice Koji (domestic)

I bought this Imadaiji black from my parents' supermarket. When drunk cold, it was quite dry! The sake level is +16, and it goes down quickly after drinking. I think it would go well with strong dishes, but unfortunately, all I have today is pickles. LOL! Ingredients: Rice (domestic), rice malt (domestic) 100% Gohyakumangoku grown in Niigata Prefecture Rice polishing ratio: 65 Alcohol content: 16%.

We went to Hanrin-tei, an izakaya (Japanese style bar) on the Hachijo exit side of Kyoto station, which offers a wide selection of Hachikaiyama along with Kyoto cuisine. This limited-quantity brewed by Kowagura costs 5,500 yen per batch, but we had a little trouble with a regular Junmai Daiginjo being served without showing us the bottle when we ordered it. When you order expensive sake, please make sure to show them the bottle before pouring. As for the actual taste, I honestly didn't taste much because I wasn't feeling it. Too bad. Alcohol content 17.0%.

Nice to meet you. I see that there is a Hakkaisan that costs 5,500 yen per batch. I learned a lot about it.

Mr. loopy. Hello. If you are not in an izakaya (Japanese style bar), a four-pack bottle is sold for around 7,000 yen. It is a limited bottle, though.

The annual year-end party to which I was invited and drank. It was Ryu from Kawanishiya, a sake brewery in Yamakita-cho, Kanagawa Prefecture. It has an elegant aroma and a full flavor. The ginjo aroma that spreads in the mouth with little cloying taste makes you feel luxurious. Serve with yellowtail, tuna medium fatty tuna, and salmon sashimi, along with amberjack funeragi.

This sake is said to be best when heated to around 45 degrees Celsius. On this day, it was served hot, but it was very light and dry, which is typical of Japanese sake, soaking into your body at the end of the cold year. It was a perfect match for the fried daikon radish! Ingredients: rice (domestic), rice malt (domestic), brewers' alcohol Yeast: Hanbei yeast with a kura Sake degree: +4 Acidity: 1.3

Two of us went out to Yotsuya and found an empty counter at a yakitori restaurant. There were only three kinds of sake. The cold recommendation among them is this Drunken Heart Inaho. It has a soft taste and a mild flavor that does not interfere with the food. We enjoyed it with Niigata's specialty, tochioage (fried bean curd). Alcohol 15%.

A party to celebrate the end of the year. We drink junmai ginjo from Joyo, Kyoto, in a cup purchased near Kiyomizu-dera Temple. It has a fresh, mellow rice flavor. But it has an elegant acidity and a crisp taste that balances the overall flavor. Delicious. Thank you for your hard work this year. Alcohol content: 15%.

A very special sparkling that was emptied on Christmas Day. This is an elegant and delicious sparkling that has lightly surpassed all previous sake sparklings! Low alcohol sake that was primary fermented in tanks and then bottled after a certain period of time in whiskey. Secondary fermentation in the bottle. Amazing. The cork flew to the ceiling when we opened the bottle💦. The taste, texture, and aroma are more spectacular than Champagne, and it's the perfect toast. The box is very carefully made, too good to throw away. I would recommend it to others. It is a little expensive. Alcohol content 12 degrees
