Happy very late New Year, Happy New Year! Last year I posted a long post, but this year I will be posting short and quick. Sorry for the personal situation. My first post of the new year is Yamori, but the first bottle I drank was Hakurakusei. I already drank another bottle, sorry, I forgot the brand name by mistake. It was delicious! Now, it's been a while since I've had Yamori. No doubt about it! Just the right amount of sweetness and aftertaste. If you live in Tokyo, you must try this sake at least once. Please do visit us again in the new year!

Last night's year-end party (sort of). Good sake and good food! I'd like to say that I couldn't be happier. I feel like I spent the end of the year in the right way. All the brands were delicious. I think it is possible to finish off the year by shifting from spicy to sweet and shwashy.

I have been looking for a long time to drink Koei Chrysanthemum. The other day, I found it at the Ginza Six Imameya. I had a hard time deciding between three different kinds, but this time I chose this one, which I thought I could only drink now. The bottle opened with a pop, unexpectedly and with great gusto. It just so happened to be the perfect brand for Christmas. I say coincidentally, but I didn't read the label well enough... It's a little tangy and a little strong, but I guess that's what this label is all about. The balance of flavors is just right. Is it slightly spicy after the sweetness? It is good to drink by itself or with fish. (It might be sushi rather than fish.) Also, it is good to be left out? (It may be sushi rather than fish.) Also, the taste is good. It's not so much sharpness, but rather a sense of? It is crispy. I think it is crisp and doesn't interfere with other dishes. Well, maybe I should have bought all three kinds at once. But I was hesitant to buy them all at once, considering that I will be going back home. I will visit Imanaya again to purchase them.

The pitch has been so fast lately that I really have to weigh myself a bit. I think I have to be a little more cautious. Sweat I bought this bottle when I was in Toyama on business the other day. I found it at a place like a roadside station and bought it immediately! Haneya itself is sometimes seen in Tokyo, but I didn't think I'd see much Kinka. It was like sweetness from sourness, with almost no spiciness. I was drunk when I started drinking it, so I'm sorry I can't give a very accurate review. If you have ever had Haneya, you can imagine what I mean. It is easy to drink and even those who don't like sake can enjoy this brand. I was actually planning to save it until the New Year...I got carried away, but I had a good time.

Continuing on from yesterday's series, here is the series that I drank. However, I think many of you have drunk Koshi, so I don't think I need to give you that much feedback. It is delicious and easy to drink. You could probably drink it on its own in a leisurely way. If you like dry sake, you will probably have different tastes, but if you are not used to drinking sake, I think it is perfect for you. A light, light snack might go well with it. The year is almost over! I hope to enjoy good sake until the end of the year and the New Year!

Sorry, I was in a good mood and drank the four-pack before I could write my impressions. So, I can't write a detailed impression, but from my drunken memory, I think it had a moderate acidity and sweetness, with a clean aftertaste, just as the label says. I think it goes well with anything, but personally, I thought it would go better with boiled or grilled fish than sashimi.

The year is almost over. I hope everyone has had a fulfilling sake life. This is my first time at Nagurayama. Maybe you have had it at a restaurant, but this is the first time in my memory. I won't write too long about it, so I'll just be straight to the point: it's good! I think it is a very well-balanced brand. I think it is a very well-balanced brand. Not too hot, not too sweet. I think it is a brand that stands up well with anything. It may be too sweet for those who like dry sake, but that's just the way it is. If it were a four-pack bottle, I would drink it with the same vigor as if it were already gone by the time I realized it. This makes me curious about the standard Nagurayama.

I accidentally erased what I wrote earlier. I was drunk and didn't have the energy to write twice. It is delicious. For some reason, it tastes like seawater. It is not too high in alcohol content at 13%, so I think it is ideal as a drink to be kept on hand. Although it is made with seafood in mind, it seems to go well with pretty much anything, so it's good enough to keep on hand. I'll leave it at this point. I'll leave it at that 🙏.

I went to Kyoto on business. I arrived a day early to do some personal sightseeing as well, and my first stop was my usual izakaya. When I travel, I usually order local sake. (I think everyone here is like that.) I won't mention the name of the restaurant, but it is always fine using seasonal ingredients. I won't mention the name of the restaurant, but I am always very happy to find that they serve fine food made with seasonal ingredients. They also sometimes have sake that is only available at the restaurant, which also makes me happy. This time, I had the following sake: Tsuki no Katsura, Inokaze, and Kamizo. The Tsuki no Katsura was quite sweet and had a strong presence. I feel that it is not defeated by fried food. (Actually, I was too focused on the rice to write a detailed impression. Sweat) Next is the dry wind. This one is refreshing. It feels like it goes smoothly. But I am not sure if my impression was the same as that of Jinzo. I was drinking while talking with the waiter, so I am not sure. I felt that the last Kanzou had a stronger sense of rice than the previous one. It was like a traditional sake made easier to drink. All of them were delicious and matched the dishes served at the restaurant. Anago (conger eel), matsutake mushrooms, gingko mushrooms, and sweetfish with young sardines, we had an enjoyable time without being overbearing.

Good evening, Mr. Sakana🐟🌙 Looks like you had a great time drinking in Kyoto😊The drinks and food look delicious! I try to drink the local sake as well 😄.

Thank you, Bonchan! I enjoyed Kyoto! I live in Tokyo, so I can enjoy relatively regional sake, but it's different when you drink it in the area, isn't it? The pleasure of traveling is also a great accompaniment and makes it taste even better.

Late October. It's starting to look a little more like autumn. In Tokyo, the weather is finally getting warm enough to wear long sleeves. The fragrance of Kinmokusai is almost over. Recently, I bought drunken whale and Midorikawa at the supermarket, and shochu (Kurokirishima is wonderful in many ways), and I have been away from liquor stores for a while, but today I visited a liquor store for the first time in a while. I rarely go there on Sundays because I have a job that allows me to move around on weekdays, and I was tired of the crowd, so I bought this one on the spur of the moment. But it is Sugiyuu, so I thought there would be no mistake. I didn't know what 29 meant, but it means it is an aged sake. Well, let's see what it tastes like. So I opened the bottle. Sweet, delicious, and fruity. I guess you could call it "sweet, delicious, and fruity. First of all, it is easy to drink and delicious. I'm sorry, I can't tell how it tastes like aged wine unless I compare it with the unaged one at the same time, but it is easier to drink than I thought it would be. I thought it would have a stronger character and would be different for different tastes. I feel that it is a sake that you can immerse yourself in the aftertaste. The season is autumn, but personally, I wanted to drink it in spring. It has a pleasant sweetness that lingers in the mouth after it goes down the throat. It may be too sweet for those who like dry sake, but I recommend it for beginners.

It is now completely autumn-like...or rather, it has gone beyond autumn and become more like winter. The high blue sky and cold wind feels good. I found a delicious take-out yakitori restaurant in my neighborhood, and I think I am going to enjoy drinking at home more and more. And from now on, it's all about nabe and oden! It is the best season. Well, today, I am one step ahead of you. Even though I know it is delicious, I still have high expectations for it. Since it is yakitori, I was worried about shochu, but since sake has been making fewer appearances lately, I opened the bottle. It is a very well-balanced sake and easy to drink. Some people may find it a little too sweet, but for me personally, it is just right. I also like the slightly bitter taste it leaves on the palate. I feel that even beginners can enjoy it. Speaking of which, how many of you noticed that the text on the label is three-dimensional? I don't think printing them solidly would make much difference to sales. I like this kind of attention to detail.

Hello 🐟🐟️ I love a good take-out yakitori restaurant! Yakitori is something I tend to do when I go out for a drink 💦 so I can easily enjoy it at home with cold or warmed sake etc. 👍

It is in the midst of a typhoon, but I hope everyone is drinking well. Tokyo is much quieter. It is possible that it will be more intense tomorrow morning, but I will probably be drunk in bed.... Tonight I'm going to drink something a little unusual. I am sure many of you know Soumura because it is well-known. The point is, as you can see from the label, it is a sake that has been laid down for a year. It is not intentionally aged, but rather, it was aged to increase the depth of flavor. (Is that too much to ask?) However, the store owner said that they had it in stock because they tasted it and it was delicious, so I think that the result was a good thing. I will eat it with hot pot. I am not sure if I can call it aged, but it has a unique flavor. It is neither too sweet nor too spicy, and has a good balance, but it does have a few quirks. It is easy to drink, yet has a strong presence. I am not sure how to describe this flavor. I feel that the aftertaste is particularly unique. I think I have tasted this sensation with some other sake rather than sake, but hmmm, it is difficult. It's also hard to judge how much of it is the result of a year's standing. Personally, I think it is a delicious sake suitable for autumn. I don't think it comes out very often, so if you see it, please give it a try.

Sorry, the photos are in reverse order. Drinking in the neighborhood. We had a few beers and wines before this, so we had a few drinks, but we had Kuroryu and Suminoe. Both are autumnal. The addition of some tasty sashimi and grilled fish made it even better. Both are well balanced. They are easy to drink, do not disturb, and have a strong presence. No wonder they are so popular. I am not going to comment too much on the sake this time because we are not going to drink it at home, but it is a very tasty sake. I am satisfied.

Everyone, the Mid-Autumn Moon was wonderful, wasn't it? I could see it well from Tokyo. This is the best I can do with the lens I have at home, so I decided to share it with you. I decided to drink tonight, so I bought this bottle at my usual liquor store. I made it a mealtime sake to be paired with the Akinatai fish. This is a new brand to me, and I couldn't find it when I searched for it, so I registered it as a new brand. Maybe it depends on how you look for it.... Yes, yes, it is delicious. It has a good balance. It has a strong flavor, and is a good food sake that doesn't lose out to the snacks. I had never heard of this brand before, but I might order it if I find it on the menu at a restaurant. Not too spicy, not too sweet. In a bad way, it may be safe to say, but it goes well with the rice without interfering with it. It has a few quirks, but I don't think it's enough to bother me. I wouldn't dare to choose it in a place where there are many well-known places, but I don't regret choosing it. It was a good enough tsukimi sake. It is a pleasant season to go from summer sake to autumn and winter.

Well, folks, it's been a good week! It's cooler now, but still humid due to the typhoon. (Tokyo) Surprisingly, the first Hakkaisan. This is not a regular one? I wonder. When I first opened and drank it, I thought its presence was too strong. Perhaps because I have been drinking round sake, it ended up being punchy and strong. It is not spicy, but rather, hmmm, subtle. A few days later, when I drank it today, I found that it was easy to drink, perhaps because of the accompaniments. However, it was still strong. The alcohol content is 17.5, which is a little high, but I don't think that is the reason. A skilled fisherman said, "This is how sake should be!" (sorry, I'm biased). (Sorry, I'm prejudiced.) There is no looseness to it. It's not as if they are trying to be accommodating, but rather, they have the strength to say, "If you don't like it, you can go somewhere else! If you don't like it, you can go somewhere else! I should say that this is Hakkaisan. Personally, I don't think I will try this one next time. I would recommend it to those who want to get drunk with a strong, punchy sake! I think this is a good choice for those who want to get drunk with a strong, punchy sake. Personally, I do not recommend it to sake beginners. (Of course, I don't know about other Hakkaisan, so there may be a gentle Hakkaisan as well.)

Excuse me for starting at noon. The weather was fair, and I got on a roll and ordered sushi delivery, so I had to go for it! So I opened the bottle! Kuramoto, which I bought for some reason! I had never had it before, so I was curious about it. First, a sip. Ah, yes, it's delicious. I don't know...it's a misleading expression, but it's just delicious. If you pick it out at a restaurant and it comes out, you just say, "Ah, it's delicious," and finish it, and then you can't remember it later. It may sound bad to say, but sometimes you want a sake that doesn't make such a statement but is still delicious. It has a good balance. Sweet and spicy, exquisite. It has a slightly spicy aftertaste. It's just a little. Well... I think this was more of a nighttime drink than a daytime drink, but it was a great combination with sushi, so I'll take it as a good thing! Have a great weekend everyone!!! 🍶

At night, the chirping of autumn insects is increasing. It's so elegant. I would love to enjoy a glass of delicious sake while watching the garden illuminated by the moonlight. I would love to do that, but I live in an apartment complex with no yard, so it's not possible. Today, I went out to a familiar liquor store. I had a glass of Tenryo Shuzo's Garakuyo. There are three kinds of sake in the store, and I chose the sharpest one. First of all, the label is beautiful. I tried it. It is well-balanced. It is a food sake. However, well... it is delicious, but I personally feel that it is a bit light. I think there are people who say this is good, but I think it's not enough for me. Especially when considered as a food sake, I think it often loses out to the strength of the accompanying snacks. If you drink it by itself, well, I guess it is possible. I heard that the other two types are sweeter, so if you don't want to drink it with snacks, that might be okay too. I heard that the brewer is in his 20s and is doing his best, so there is no room for growth. I have high expectations for the future.

Sorry for the early morning. I've been drinking since midnight and have had a morning to myself. First time, Hakurakusei! I bought it at Hasegawa in Tokyo Station. They have as much stock as possible, so if you want to drink it in the Kanto area, please do so. It might be better to call first. (They have a great lineup of others, so it shouldn't be a wasted trip in case they are sold out.) They used to have pre-fired sake on hand, but I didn't buy it at that time because I was distracted by other brands. Sake is also a once in a lifetime experience, and I wish I had bought it. I started with my impression of the taste and balance, but it is delicious. It has the feel of straight-up deliciousness. It is not unique, but I feel that if you pursue a standard, you will end up here. If I were to compare it to ramen, it would be the soy sauce that I am obsessed with! It's orthodox, but tasty. It has the strength of being able to match it with anything. If you don't know what you like in terms of spicy and sweet, and you want to buy a good sake, I think this is the place to choose. Highly recommended!

This is probably the first time I've ever tasted this. Since this is my first time drinking it, I think it probably doesn't taste the same as it should, but the label looks stylish and it would be a good gift. I'm sorry, but I got carried away and drank too much before writing this review, and I only have enough for one cup...but it's good. I'm sorry, but I drank too much before writing this review, and I only have enough for one cup......it's good. It has a good balance of sweetness and richness. It's a little sweet and goes with everything. If you are in doubt, this might be a good choice. However, this one is different from the usual ones, isn't it? The label seems to make it easy to drink, so I wonder if it is a little spicier than it is supposed to be. I drank it by itself without any snacks, and it has a nice aftertaste. I bought it at Hasegawa in Tokyo Station, but I wonder if there are any liquor stores nearby. If so, I would like to try the authentic one.

This is a sake I drank at a familiar restaurant in Kyoto the other day. It was delicious, but my memory is a little fuzzy, so I will refrain from giving individual impressions. It was a wonderful combination that matched each dish. Food is one of the main reasons why I am glad to be born in Japan, a country with four distinct seasons. Have a nice August, everyone.
