Today I went to Hakone with my family and my mother. At a hot spring hotel where the autumn leaves can still be seen. I got a recommendation from a local liquor store. Hakone Kaido, a traditional pure rice sake. As the owner said, it is good for nabe (hot pot). The ginjo aroma can sometimes get in the way, so this is a pure rice sake. It is dry and has a strong flavor. Local rice, good with sashimi! Next was Hakoneyama. This is Jungin. Dry. It does not have a neat and clean outline, but you can feel the enthusiasm like the diligence of the Tobuji. It is true that Hakone sake is more enjoyable when served with a meal.

This is the second bottle of Chogen this fall. At the time of the nama-shu, I wondered what was wrong with it this year. Other breweries, when they were making the nama-shu, seemed to think they had too much Yamae-nishiki or that Yamae-nishiki was bad. It was a sake that needed time. Drinking it now, it still needs more time. I decided to open it and enjoy it slowly. At 14.5 degrees, the alcohol content is high. I tried to make it milder by mixing it with a little water. It might be interesting to try heating it up to lukewarm in the future.

On the second day, the nastiness is still quite strong, but it is good with 10-20% hot water! Day 3. The balance between the nastiness, umami, and spiciness has been achieved. I tried heating it to lukewarm. This is good. I'm looking forward to drinking it in the future!

As expected of Honkin-san. What a good taste. Sourness, spiciness and strength. From the first taste, I wondered what would happen if I put it down. I can already tell that it won't get any worse. Let's see how time goes by. I'll reserve another bottle for next time.

The overwhelming thickness, 18 deg! and despite the high alcohol content, this is a great drink. The many stars of the big tree. Just like its name. It is hard to believe that it is an aged sake. Or perhaps it has finally arrived. The addition of time gives it a wonderful balance with an amber-like color overlaid on the flavor. Evolution starts from the opening of the bottle. Let's enjoy it slowly.

The flavor is amazing from the beginning. The intensity of the flavor is so great that it is overwhelming. For me and others, it is just right with a little ice. I look forward to seeing how it changes over time.

Summer sake in the fall. I love this one. This year's is a little thicker. I thought it could be a little more refreshing since it is a summer sake. Well, it would be better if I drop a piece of ice. It is good while listening to the sound of insects in the lingering summer heat ^_^.

Aromatic. And thick. It has a good sharpness. It is truly graceful. After drinking, a pungent taste gradually lingers in the mouth. However, it is not bad.

Strong in flavor and hardness. No aftertaste. It is about cleanliness. Seems to open up gradually. It might be good to drop a piece of ice at first. After trying it, the original flavor of the sake comes out. It's not my favorite, but I can enjoy it. The sake is unique because it was originally made by a liquor store. No label.

From the moment of pouring, the aroma is not fragrant, but it has a very special aroma. It is smooth and rich. There is almost no bitterness, but it is full-bodied. The flavor is also distinctive, but it makes you want to pour it out one after another. It would also go well with sashimi. Recommended by a local.

I am so disappointed with the Yamae Nishiki sake that I wonder what is wrong with it this year. We will have to wait for the autumn harvest... Among them, Mikotsuru is indeed a great company. They make you drink from the beginning! The hardness at the beginning is something to look forward to. I tried to match it with a lentil egg seasoned with soy sauce and raayu (Chinese red chili oil), but it was not to be outdone. I look forward to the changes in the future ^_^.

Chogen's Yamae Nishiki. Is Yamae Nishiki difficult this year? It seems like all the breweries are struggling. Or perhaps it takes time for the flavors to come together. It may be matured for a year if it's not good enough. I think it finally has the label I was hoping for at the end of drinking.

It's an award-winning sake or so it seems. It was a gift. I don't drink much except junmai type. It is a so-called daiginjo, and it may be easy to match with meals. After all, junmai or jungin is easier to enjoy.

This year's Yamae Nishiki. It's a little difficult to make. It doesn't open up very well. It may be better to wait until the autumn season. It might be better to drink it chilled.

Here it comes again this year! Honkin summer sake. Miyamanishiki. Refreshing acidity. It has a strong summer sake feel and goes down smoothly. The label says it has an alcohol content of 15 degrees Celsius! What, because I drink it at about 15 degrees? It has a nourishing flavor that comes from the loss of umami and acidity. I put some ice on it to cool it down a little. It is like an easy-drinking sake cocktail. It is not to my liking, so I put it back. The acidity is very good, so it will be a better marriage when paired with a meal with good umami!

Sake from Tokyo once in a while. Unfiltered Junmai. It must have been quite aggressive. The color and taste are reminiscent of old sake. It is not modern, but it has a sense of nostalgia and warmth. A bit of playfulness without abandoning the dryness. The sincerity of the brewer can be seen in this sake.

Unusual color bottle. The usual tadpole is not drawn. Maybe because it is a limited edition sake. It has a strong sense of being raw. At first, the harmony between the raw sake feeling, acidity, and nastiness is not quite right. It soon opens up. Tuna tataki is very good with wasabi and soy sauce. Strangely enough, the flavorful tataki does not go well with this sake without soy sauce. Once it opens, the balance is wonderful. It seems like it would be a bit hard to like, but it crumbles nicely. When you roll it around in your mouth, the umami seeps in and the nourishment comes when you swallow. If it's a calculation, I can only be surprised. And it goes well with the spring rolls I really wanted to try ^ ^.

Yamae Nishiki This is highly anticipated. Oh, no doubt. This is Junmai. 16 degrees, what's going on with this? Is it fermenting too well? I'd rather have spiciness and a bit of a tangy taste.

I guess I expected a little too much. It is too sweet. I wonder why this is the case with this creation. It should be rather earthy and spicy. It is too sweet, so I tried it with cheesecake, and it turned out to be a good clarification. I once had a chocolate thrown into my mouth as a joke, and the sake came out surprisingly good. The flavor and heaviness of the sake was a bit harsh. I remember asking the owner and he told me that chocolate and sake go surprisingly well together. Maybe something sweet would be better than ham. Dried persimmons, chocolate, etc. might be good. Dried fruits and dried tomatoes would also be good!
