Continuing with the first time, I tried a sake from Ehime this time. I had never heard of Matsuyama Mitsui sake rice. The POP advertised that the sake could be enjoyed at various temperatures, so I tasted it at room temperature first. It had a gentle ginjo aroma and just the right amount of smoothness in the mouth. It has a rather clear appearance and taste for an unfiltered sake, and the aftertaste cuts through easily. This would make a great food sake 🎵. Next time, I will lower the temperature and enjoy the change.

For the second glass, I chose another Shizuoka sake from the app members-only sake list, which was also a first for me. It was thicker, sweeter, and more flavorful than the first cup of Kuroryu Ichikurai. The balance of sweet and spicy was just the way I like it. It was a great match with the pickled firefly squid that I ordered because of the name 🎵.

I found it at a roadside station and bought it without thinking. It was a limited edition bottle made last year to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the birth of GODZILLA. It tastes like Chikuma-Nishiki, a traditional sake with a dry, guttural taste. I tasted it cold, so my impression might change if the temperature is raised.

A souvenir for myself when I went to Suwa on an errand. I chose Suiro for the first time. It has a strong flavor of sweet, bitter, and sour. But the aftertaste is refreshing. Next time, I would like to try Maihime or Shinshu Neko Masamune.

My wife gave me this mini bottle as a souvenir from our trip to Fukuoka. I didn't expect much since I'm a non-drinker (pardon the pun), but it's a good sake that has won awards in international competitions✨. It has a gorgeous ginjo aroma, a soft and clear sweetness, and a slight bitterness that lingers on the tip of the tongue. The mini bottle was not enough for me 😆👌❤️

Sake from Higashiomi city, which was obtained through tax payment. It is firm, dry, and has moderate acidity. It tastes similar to the Ojiro we had the other day. Personally, I would prefer it to be a little more square.

I was attracted by the POP saying it is perfect for warming sake. I enjoy it slowly, especially on cold days. It has a similar flavor to Kikuhime, but this one is a little milder. The label says it is dry, but it is not that dry and soft. I am sure it will make you happy when paired with oden.

Sake from Ueda, Shinshu. It has a gentle, square texture, probably because it is brewed with ultra-soft water. It is easy to drink and has a well-balanced taste of sweetness, flavor, and acidity. The label design is simple and nice.

It has a light cloudy appearance. The taste is mellow and dry with a slightly acidic aftertaste. It is happier with cheese than with fish.

Light, slightly sweet. It is not enough when served cold, but the flavor comes out as the temperature is raised. It is just right to be served lukewarm at a lower temperature.

The brand name and the snowflake silhouette label design were decisive factors in my decision to purchase this wine. The palate is light sweet and easy to drink, with a mild acidity. It tastes just the way I like it.

This is the fifth brewery in Saku's sake brewery series. This is a rare bottle as it has recently met with a fire and is closed. We happened to find it at a one-day spa and secured it. It has a strong bitterness and acidity, with a tangy mouthfeel. It also has a sweetness, so it is not harsh. It is the best sake from Saku so far. It's a shame that we won't be able to taste it for a while. I hope they will do their best to bring it back.

For my second glass, I chose Shinmasa, my first time drinking one of the Adult's Day service drinks. The aroma of hakusaku and the citrus-like acidity as shown on the bottle stood out. I have never tasted such an acidic sake before. I am glad I was able to drink it at the right time.

This is my first time drinking Houou Mita. It seems to be the driest brand among them. It has a well-balanced taste that strikes me as being right in the middle of the range 🎵It has a nice, clean sweet taste. The acidity in the aftertaste is also nice.

Good evening kanikani😃. Congratulations on your first Bida at ㊗️ 🎉! I think the expression "light sweet" might be the best way to describe Mita's dry sake 🤗There are many other delicious Tochigi sake 😋 Please try them all 👋.

This is a junmai version of the Haginoroh mini-bottle sake I bought on the label. It is a little less sweet than the junmai ginjo, but generally has a good balance of bitterness. When heated, it still has a hint of Kikuhime-like bran aroma. I would like to try it in a Yongo bottle next time.
