The accompaniment is edamame.
I opened a bottle that I had purchased during my visit to Hirosaki Castle. It has a mellow aroma, a slight sizzle, and a rich sweetness at 16% alcohol by volume, yet it is extremely tasty and not at all cloying. Rating: S

Accompanied by grilled Iwate shorthorn beef. If you are going to taste Iwate's food, it is inevitable to choose Iwate's sake; the balance of acidity and umami is just right as always,

Sasakamama (bamboo grass kama) is a popular snack.
Gunma Iroha had a sake tasting corner, so I tasted and bought some.

Dry and refreshing, it goes well with fatty snacks, but the bitterness that comes afterwards is not to my liking at the moment.

This year, too, we purchased a lucky sake to celebrate spring. The sake is pressed in the morning and can be tasted on the same day, thanks to the efforts of the brewery and the sake store.
The taste is fresh with a hint of fizz, and the sweetness of the rice is followed by a subtle astringent taste.

The accompaniment is ozoni.
The first bottle opened this year is Takeba's "Active Nigori Sake", an annual tradition.
At first, it was just as it was. It is slightly effervescent, but does not have the unpleasant tanginess of last year's sake, and the flavor is clean and delicious.
Then, it was shaken and stirred. The taste is even better with a thicker mouthfeel.

This sake was brewed by bringing "Gohyakumangoku" sake rice from Fukushima to Nagayama Shuzo in Yamaguchi Prefecture.
It has a sweet aroma, but not at all sweet, with a sour and sharp taste. A significant bitterness comes later.
