The last bottle I got on my trip to Obuse. It is a sake from Ina, Minami-Shinshu. It is the younger sister of Otamajakushi, which is made with local rice, even the rice paddies are designated. My impression is that it is similar to Izumibashi, which I drank a while ago. Likewise, it is more balanced and dry when warmed than when cold. I am curious about the difference from the original Imaizumi's regular version and Otamajakushi (^-^-zu).

Extra Edition. On the way home, I found a pack of Kitakata sake at a convenience store and bought it. It was my first time drinking sake with a straw💦It just had a strong bitter taste and I couldn't finish it. Yes, cheap sake is just as good as it should be (of course).

3杯目は同じ喜多方のお酒。柔らかな甘さと旨味を感じる。郡山名産の鯉のなめろうと合わせる。キャベツ餅も旨かった🎵 福島の日本酒造りは最近力を入れているらしく、全国新酒品評会で金賞数V9を達成した後、今年3年ぶりに奪還したらしい。地方紙の号外写真が飾ってあって面白かった😂

We changed riverbanks and went to our main restaurant. And ikaninjin again at tsukidashi🤭The customer service and the atmosphere inside are good, and it looks like it is crowded with local customers. Best of all, the prices of the drinks are more reasonable than before. 👍️ The second sake was a clean, dry sake similar in style to Yuzu. This one has more of a lingering umami taste in the mouth. I couldn't help but reach for a brand I'd never heard of before 💦Kitakata sake.

When you want to enjoy the local delicacies on a business trip to Koriyama, the best thing to do is to go on your own (although I think a lot of people enjoy it, too). The first stop is a nearby yakitori restaurant for a quick look around. After quenching my thirst with a beer, I chose a Koriyama sake. As the name and word of mouth says, it is mild, clean, and dry. The aroma was almost imperceptible. Maybe a different container or temperature would give a different impression. It was great with the set of river fish tempura ✨and of course with the yakitori.

Another mini bottle of Hokushinryu. It is a junmai ginjo of the same Kinmonnishiki variety, but this one is a single-hiayoroshi (hiya oroshi). Compared to the nama-shu, the bitterness is less pronounced and the rice is a little sweeter. I prefer this one. I googled this sake rice and found that it has had quite a strange fate. Next time I will try Kurobiki or Mizuo.

Every year at this time, I go sightseeing in Obuse for chestnut sweets. I got two mini bottles of Hokushinryu as souvenirs at the brewery. They are the same junmai ginjo and the rice is Kinmon-nishiki produced in Kijimadaira, Nagano Prefecture. I started with the draft sake. It was a bit higher in alcohol and bitter and spicy. I think the guy at the store said the other one, the Akigari, was drier 💦 Hmmm, didn't really have the freshness of the nama-shu.

I bought some sake at a nearby liquor store in order to drink sake produced in my home prefecture once in a while. I tend to go for brands from sake brewing areas. I started with cold sake. The bitter and spicy taste comes first, followed by a slightly acidic, refreshing taste. If you warm it up to lukewarm, the bitterness is hidden and the sweetness comes out. Both can be enjoyed at this time of the year, but I prefer heated sake as it takes away the corners. 👍️

Since the beef was delicious Omi beef, I paired it with sake from the same prefecture. It was sweet on the palate and had a robust flavor that did not overpower the meat. It is a pity that there was no information about the sake other than the brand name. Next time, I would like to enjoy it at home.

The only sake brewery in Shimosuwa. I wondered why the manufacturer was a transportation company in Fukushima, and was told that it was because the business was once closed down and then revived through succession. Unlike what I imagined from the label and the "dry" name, the taste on the palate is sweet and sour with a mellow apple flavor. The aftertaste is dry and spicy with a sharpness and a gassy feeling on the tip of the tongue. This is delicious. This time we had a mini-bottle due to the time we spent there, but next time I'd like to take my time to select a bottle of No. 4.

It was on sale at a nearby liquor store, so I just had to smell it and buy it. It was my first time to try Gunma sake. It was still too hot for hiyaoroshi, but 💦 it was just as sweet and sour as I expected from the name and aroma. The name and aroma were exactly what I expected. It has a long, full lingering finish. I liked this one. 👍️

I chose this bottle as a souvenir from a business trip to Sendai. I compared the sake at the sake store in Fujisaki, a long-established department store, and brought home the most standard Yamahai Junmai. It was the clearest Yamahai I've ever tasted, but it still had the complex flavors of Yamahai. The taste was to my liking with a round acidity 🎵.

Sake from Obuse, famous for its chestnuts. The light blue label is refreshing and summery. The taste is perfect for this time of year, with a refreshing acidity that cuts through quickly. It is said to be drier than other brands of this brand. Next time, I would like to drink it lukewarm after the fall season.

The second drink to finish because it is light. This is the first summer cotton sake I've ever had. A summer sake version of Wataya. I love the cute label design✨. It has a soft acidity, like a diluted calpis, and a refreshing taste perfect for this season. The ginjo aroma is also light. I guess the glass may have something to do with it, but this is the best taste I've had today. The choice of sake cup is also important.

The same DATE SEVEN drinking comparison of Urakasumi. The overall taste is stronger than Hakurakusei. It also has a bitter aftertaste, which makes it more satisfying to drink. I think this one is more to my taste these days.

After a business trip to Sendai, I stopped by a restaurant for a quick drink. It was nice to see the Tanabata decorations just before the end of the day 😊. The first drink was the Hakurakusei style from the DATE SEVEN drinking contest. It was as easy to drink as advertised and didn't interfere with the taste of the food. I didn't feel the ginjo aroma because it was in a small glass.

A bottle brewed by a brewery that was destroyed by fire with the help of surrounding breweries. I didn't expect it to be restored so soon. I bought it to support them. The sweet and sour taste comes first and the aftertaste is bitter. I feel that it is a good reproduction of the taste I liked when I drank it before. I hope they will use this as a beacon of revival and do their best to rebuild.

It tastes sweeter and spicier than the Junmai I drank the other day. The ginjo aroma is not so strong. The Junmai was easier to drink and I might have liked it better. I hope to drink it next time.

This is the second souvenir bottle purchased at the brewery's direct sales store at the beginning of GW. It is made in the Yamahai style, which I like, and the simple label design is also favorable. The lactic acidity is well pronounced with a clean aftertaste, and the sake is easy to savor without any stickiness. It is just right to drink it cold during this hot season 🎵.

This is the sixth brewery in the Saku Sake Brewery series. Located in a historic town along the old Nakasendo road, this is a place I would like to visit again. The taste is very strong as it is called "mellow" sake. It is 18% alcohol by volume. It has a bitter taste on the tip of the tongue, followed by a sweet sake-like flavor. I heard that there is a way to enjoy it by aging it after buying it. Next time I'll let it mature a bit and try it with mizutaki in winter 😋.
