Went to a local supermarket in search of hanami sake.
Among various kinds of sake, I found a nostalgic Kappa label.
It tasted good as usual.
The last of this year's cherry blossoms.
Purchased at Hanshin Department Store
It is a sake from Kochi and is said to be delicious when heated.
I had it lukewarm, and it was a nice sake with a strong flavor that didn't get in the way of the meal.
It was the kind of sake that Tosapo, a sake drinker, would like!
Purchased in-store at Hanshin Department Store
When I asked what kind of sake tastes best when heated, I was told that junmai-shu is recommended.
When I had it warmed up, my mouth was filled with the delicious taste of rice!
I prefer a more robust sake like this to a light sake!
Purchased at Dotka's Aomori and Iwate store with only a few bottles left!
As the tag says, it tastes refreshing when drunk chilled. I think it would go well with a meal.
I tried heating it up to human body temperature and found it to be a little harsh.
It's getting warmer, so let's drink it cold!
Sake given to me as a gift from a sake master.
When served chilled, it is just like sake!
It is full of sweetness and umami from the rice, yet easy to drink!
Unfortunately, when I tried heating it up to lukewarm, which is forbidden, it tasted a bit bland.
Tomorrow, let's try it at room temperature!

What does it taste like, a gold medal winner in the National Heated Sake Contest?
When served warm, you can taste the sweetness and umami of the rice. It is a soft and tasty sake that does not overpower a meal.
Purchased at a sake specialty store
I was attracted by the words "sake exclusively for heating sake".
I didn't realize it was a junmai ginjo, but it was supposed to be heated up,
Recommended lukewarm and top warming
Recommended lukewarm because of the combination of umami and acidity.
Purchased at Ito-Yokado on the occasion of Nada-Gogo's brewery opening
It's not junmai sake, but Kenrishi is still delicious!
It has a rich taste with good acidity and umami.
Local Sake to coincide with the opening of the brewery
My master told me that it tastes great warmed up!
It made me realize how much I love sake that is good as a mealtime drink!
It's a good sake with the umami and sweetness of the rice, yet it doesn't overpower the meal!
It was recommended to me at my usual restaurant as a sake that goes well with warmed sake.
I think I have had this sake before, but it is still delicious!
The sweetness of the rice and the robust flavor!
Can't go wrong!
Purchased in Kochi
I heard that Junmai can be heated up.
When served cold, it is crisp and dry.
Warmed up, it has a lot of rice flavor.
Good as a food sake
Purchased at a local business supermarket
I was attracted by the 100% Hinohikari produced in Nara Prefecture.
As the label says, it is a refreshing sake that does not clash with food and is delicious as a food sake.
The fourth and final Shikoku souvenir.
This sake is a collaboration between a sake brewery and a liquor store.
When served cold, it has a refreshing taste, but when heated, it is full of sweetness and umami!
A fun sake!
Shikoku Souvenir No. 3
Sake from Aki City, Kochi Prefecture, the Tigers' former campsite.
I'm a Torakichi, so I bought it immediately when I saw the label!
The ginjo aroma is fresh and refreshing.
I'm looking forward to trying it heated up!
The second Shikoku souvenir!
A limited edition sake made by a sake shop in Takamatsu in cooperation with a brewery.
I bought it because I heard it tastes good warmed up even though it's a draft sake!
Drinking it cold, it's refreshing!
Warmed up, it has a lot of sweetness and umami from the rice!
Great sake!
The first souvenir from back home
Sake made with rice and malted rice from Kagawa Prefecture
I couldn't buy it the last time I went back home, so I'm very excited to have it!
When drunk cold, it is as easy to drink as water.
When heated up, it has a full flavor.
It is a good sake that does not interfere with meals.
Purchased at Hanshin Department Store
Introduced as a delicious sake with warmed sake.
Full of sweetness of rice
Delicious cold or warmed up
Dryness is not the value of sake, right?
