A bottle given to me by my predecessor, who recently reached retirement age. He said it was a thank-you for the 3 kg of new rice he delivered every year during his tenure, which he called a "taste test. Rice has become sake! The nose has a fruity ginjo aroma, but the fragrance is subdued. The mouthfeel has a gentle, round sweetness and a satisfying umami. The fruity feeling that passes through the nose and the mild acid bitterness that comes at the end disappear slowly and gently. I had an image that Houyo was not my favorite, but this is good! I can say that when it comes to high-class wines, this one is genuinely tasty. Thank you very much for the sake!

Cold chrysanthemum procured during the recent spring equinox In the rain, I traveled about 200 kilometers within Miyagi Prefecture while visiting graves. It had been a while since I bought a bottle of Kangiku, so I was a bit nervous and couldn't resist opening the bottle! Moist and fruity topping aroma! The mouthfeel is also moist and luscious, with plenty of follow-up flavor! The aftertaste is full of fruitiness, and is finished off with a moderate acidity and bitterness. Ahhh, it's Aizan, isn't it? The sweetness is reminiscent of cotton candy. The acidity is also restrained, so it is not as sweet and acidic as the typical Kangiku. Masugiuru~! I bought it at Kazuya in Osaki City. Osaki City is where my paternal grandparents are buried and where I went to high school. I had lunch at Kamahira Ramen, my favorite restaurant since high school. I ordered my usual "Jar Jar Men" and they added cold rice as a service. It may not look like much, but the ramen never gets cold until I finish it, so it makes me feel happy and full. It was a great meal for both of us!

Good evening, Colonel Lal ^_^ Thank you for your hard work in traveling 200 kilometers. It's nice to have a delicious chrysanthemum in your hand ✨. I'm glad that you give us cold rice as service, but personally, I'd like to have it separately 😁.

Manta, good evening 😁. Yes, it's true! There are only a few stores that specialize in this one, so if you can buy it, you're in for a treat 😆. It's a salty soy sauce based ramen, so it's good if you eat it, But it looks like leftover food.

The last step of the banquet is one step oneself It is a hazy memory, but it has a petit gas feeling, a hint of sweet acidity, and a light nigori flavor and richness. The acidity and bitterness were sharp. It was a good sake with a good total balance. I also opened a bottle of Double Dragon, but I forgot to take a picture of it and have already reviewed it this season, so I won't post it here. Thank you very much for the sake!

Our department head's favorite Manjyukagami A former colleague of mine (from Niigata) told me that it was a perfect match for our department head, who loves dry sake, so he ordered some and brought it to us. Although it is a honjozo, it is skillfully brewed without giving too much of an alcoholic taste. It has a moderate sweetness, umami, and a good sharpness, and you can faintly feel the presence of good quality alcohol. Although it is not a major brand, it was very tasty! Thank you very much for your kindness!

Farewell party for March personnel Once again, many different kinds of drinks were served. From right to left: Kurao Shoryu, Yamamoto No. 7 Yeast, Hokkan, Ippo Ki, Manjukagami, and Toryu. By making a reservation online, you can enjoy all-you-can-drink premium sake free of charge, and you can drink as much as you like! And they will bring you even a four-pack of sake. It had been a long time since I had had this sake, but I was satisfied after drinking it. It is moderately sweet and tasty with a nice aroma. This is enough for all-you-can-drink, but you have to drink other things too! Thank you very much!

'Tis the season for personnel changes. A farewell party for our department will be held this evening. All-you-can-drink is a must, and you can bring your own alcohol. And if you bring your own drinks, you will be rewarded with a receipt. And for non-alcoholic beverages, a cash refund of ¥1,000 is included! I wonder what kind of drinks will be brought? This is the first Whale Wave and there are not many submissions, so it is an unknown quantity. The liquor store only described it as fruity. The top-tasting aroma is a fruity ginjo aroma, just like the previous reputation. The mouthfeel is also fruity with a moderately sweet and light flavor! The acid bitterness in the aftertaste is not so pronounced, so there is a gentle sharpness. Fruity! I understand it well. It is indeed delicious, but I would prefer a little more depth of flavor. It depends on the season when you drink it. I would rather drink this in summer! Thank you very much for your kindness!

Hi Colonel Lal 😃 The problem with all-you-can-drink is that you can't choose good sake. It's nice that you can bring your own sake. I'm going to be near Tohoku from April due to a transfer, so please invite me and Mr. Sashiu to your mansion 😆.

Hello Chichi 😁. Our department is going to have about 6 kinds of sake, because of the spread of sake lovers and the up and coming ✌️ allowance from the reserve expenses, try my recommended drink! I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not, but it's a good idea. I'll call you seriously 🤘.

Second Grandma Mama Complete Grandma Mom, while going through the hidden refrigerator, brought No.6 saying, "I looked in the back, but I only have it now. She said, "You know, I can't find any snacks anywhere that I'm in trouble because they only have jicama! No.6, unexpectedly our first meeting! Enjoying the citrus-like ginjo aroma, it has a tight gasiness and sweet acidity! It's a delicious sake right after you put it in your mouth. I want to drink it all the time, but I'm at odds with my desire and the amount left in the glass. Ahhhh, I'm so happy😄! It's time for the train, so we're done for the night. When I looked at the bill, it was 2,000 yen! I said, "Isn't it funny?" and my grandma said, "Because you only ordered two drinks, right? I said, "That's crazy! That's horrible! Finally, here is a picture of my manzai jeans. It's a little wrinkled, but I'll give it a try. Thank you very much for your kindness!

Grandma Mom is also having a great time while sipping sake! Next, we ordered Izumikawa! It's a light, refreshing, umakuchi sake with a sharp, clean taste. I'd like to drink this sake all the time, but it's not sold in Miyagi Prefecture. While talking with my mom, she told me that there is a liqueur made by the Takagi Sake Brewery, which is also very hard to find. For some reason, they have it at the store. But since I didn't open my mouth, I wasn't allowed to drink it. Thank you very much!

After the first meeting full of a sense of hiney, we next headed back to Grandma Mama's snack bar, which we had visited the other day! There was only one customer in the box. She came out saying, "Well, you know, today..." And out came the sunrise! The rich ginjo aroma, the chili gas, the refreshing sweetness and umami, the pleasant aftertaste, the crisp acidity, and the tightness of the bitterness...all of them were of a high level of quality. What kind of second meeting will this evening be? Thank you very much for your hospitality!

Then, Fukkomachi Isn't this one suspicious too? I'm skeptical because the hiney continues. I understand that the mouth opening is relatively new... Ah! Koch is fine! The fragrance of the gin is fragrant, and the taste is clean yet sweet. No, no, no, this is what I'm talking about! This is what I've been waiting for! The Kimura Sake Brewery is a master. They always do a good job, don't they? Thank you very much!

Last weekend was the farewell party for the March personnel. The sake on the all-you-can-drink menu was only labeled "sake (room temperature)," which sounded a little yucky. The staff told us that they have several kinds of sake, including Collage, Fukkomachi and Kiku no Tsukasa. The first one is Kuraku. Let's see... The first one is Collage. The first one is a very good one! Bottled for 3 years in 2021 and left in a regular refrigerator for 2 years. It's a very good wine! But still, Collage is still Collage. It's still delicious! We will drink Kiku no Tsukasa next time. We will be back soon!

End of last year A friend of ours who lives a double life in Hiroshima and Sendai gave us these coho as a year-end gift. It's hard to buy them in Sendai, so it's a nice present for me. Now, let's have a taste! The top aroma is a faint scent of ginjo. The mouthfeel is dry, but has a gentle sweetness that is typical of Aizan, and a satisfying umami taste. After the slightly sake-like aftertaste passes through, it is finished off with a gentle acidity and bitterness. It is a perfect combination of convincing deliciousness and sharpness, and it is hard to stop. We hope you will send us another bottle next year! Thank you very much!

I was looking for an inexpensive Junmai Yongbottle. I found this one. Fukunotomo Nojisama Series ¥1380 The bottle is wrapped in paper and various thoughts are written on it. At a quick glance, it looks like it is filled with a stench, but don't underestimate it just because it is inexpensive! The citrusy aroma is a little bit sweet, with a hint of chili-chili-gas! It is a sweet and acidic sake with a chiri-chiri-chiri-gassiness and a strong umami taste. It is a mildly acidic, bitter and astringent sake with a clear and crisp umami taste. I was expecting a classical taste when I heard that the master brewer is 77 years old, but it is a very modern and wonderful taste! I am sure I will repeat the experience. Thank you very much for the sake!

I was invited by people in Yamagata while I was there on business. When I told them I liked Japanese sake, they offered me Asahitaka! Perks or virtues? Yes~! Fruity and very horse-like! This is it! This is what people in Yamagata are all about! It's amazing that people in Yamagata still call this second-grade sake! If you ask me, it's a cooking sake! Even though it's so good! Thank you very much for the food!

A bottle with a label that just clicked with me. As a follower of the blue giant star, I can't help but reach for it when I see blue on the label. First, let's start with the supernatant. The citrus-like scent of the upper part of the bottle is fresh and crisp! It is light, sweet and acidic, and I wondered whether I should continue drinking it, but decided against it because I didn't want only the lees to be left at the end. The next one is "orikarami" (orizumi). Although the aroma is weaker, the light and lively sweet and acidic aroma is quickly followed by umami and richness, and the flavor becomes thicker. The acid bitterness at the end is also clear and lingers for a long time. It is very satisfying. Try heating it to normal temperature. The aroma of slightly cooked rice and the balance of sweetness, umami, acidity, and bitterness are good! Delicious! There is also a little piquancy left. It's a good balance of sweetness, umami, acidity, and bitterness! I had a hard time deciding between this and Kaiun's Omachi, but both were probably the right choice. Thank you very much for the sake!

Last weekend, I hung around the town of Shichigahama. We enjoyed the new seaweed festival, and although we did a bit of fishing, the bite was not so good at this time of year with the low tide, so we had a very productive Sunday. We stopped by a liquor store owned by a former junior colleague of mine. The aroma of the top shelf is a rich ginjo aroma. The mouthfeel is dry, as is typical of Kochi sake, but the umami is also present. It has a slight sake-like aftertaste and finishes with a mild acidity and bitterness. When heated, the rice aroma becomes more pronounced, giving it a more sake-like flavor. The bitter taste at the end is also a nice mature taste. Thank you very much for your kindness!
