MIYASAKA Junmai Ginjo Nakadori MIYASAKA Junmai Ginjo Nakadori Rice polishing ratio 55% Seimaibuai Alcohol 15% Alcohol Bright and lively flavor maybe a bit like green apples. Some bitterness but also some sweetness and umami. My wife says It starts with a mellow aroma, then there is a slight tangerine taste, and after that there is a very wrinkled sensation in the mouth, which gives the impression that this sake is alive!

男山　好都合二〇二三 Otokoyama Koutsugou 2023 アルコール　14% Alcohol This was fun. A 900ml bottle for less than ¥800, that’s a “can’t say No price “. Definitely a win-win situation. Otokoyama’s Year End Blend 2023. So I guess every bottle will have a different flavor. Our bottle was well balanced, not too sweet, not too bitter, not too dry. I guess that’s to be expected in a blend. It was good but maybe not exciting or spectacular or distinct. Paired nicely with Kamo Niku Nabe (Duck Stew).

Smooth and elegant this is a great Sake to drink after dinner. Of course, we drank it with dinner too! The mouthfeel is fruity and grapefruity, but it also has an indigenous flavor that is very consistent.

ひらん　彩道 Hiran Saido 種　類 純米生酛 原材料 米(国産)・米麹(国産米) 容　量 1800ml/720ml アルコール 14度※ロットにより After all the other Sake I’m not sure how to evaluate this one. It’s kind of a dark horse It has a soft round umami. Not a dynamic Sake, but It will compliment food from the background but also will be nice to drink by itself. We would love to try it with shortcake, Nama cream, or strawberries. Maybe next time!

We were “sampling” this a bit too much; let’s try it with food! Mmmm. It pairs really well with sashimi & sushi (鮭, あわび, 鰤, マグロ, 中トロ). This Yaegaki ヤヱガキ even pairs nicely with ラ　フランス pears but not so well with 柿の種 senbei.

東洋美人　限定　純米吟醸　亀の尾 Touyou Bijin Gentei Junmai Ginjo Kame no O Much more mellow and softer than the Manazuru. It has a slight Koji fragrance and flavor. Lots of umami and a little tanginess and melon flavor. Matches well with salmon tataki (but sadly, not hotate sashimi) Pairs pretty good with persimmons.

On the second day this Manazuru has mellowed a bit, allowing some vanilla flavors to appear.

As expected, this Sake pairs well with sukiyaki! Yum!

玉川　純米吟醸　みゃー5 Tamagawa Junmai Ginjo Mya-5 精米歩合 Seimaibuai 60% アルコール Alcohol 14% Round, mellow flavor. Kind of like white chocolate. It’s a solid Sake that can be drunk by itself. It’s an okay match with sashimi but an interesting match with roasted pecans. Also it’s not bad match with persimmon or adzuki manju.

常山　美山錦 Jozan Miyamanishiki Initial flavor is Sweet quickly followed by sharp tanginess. Subsequent glasses are flavorful with umami My wife says first impression was sparkly and fresh however having it with sushi and sashimi it become kind of numb. it doesn’t bother food but it does not improve with food. This Sake is good, but maybe it’s best to drink this by itself with a little bit of salty snacks
