The accompaniment is fukatsu (shark meat cutlet).
Dry and refreshing, it goes well with fatty snacks, but the bitterness that comes afterwards is not to my liking at the moment.

Place of purchase】Musashiya Sake Shop
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.

Accompanied by grilled wild boar meat. As the label says, "Made by traditional sake tank pressing", it has a traditional taste. It is a mild, light and dry sake that can be drunk as an in-between-meal drink without getting tired of it.

The accompaniment is kombujime, a kelp-jamame of swordfish.
As the label says, it has a fresh, sweet and sour taste reminiscent of apples. Although it is a pure sake, the alcohol content is low at 13 degrees, making it very easy to drink.

The accompaniment is an Italian Osechi from "Osteria Quint Basta".
Opened a bottle of a precious bottle sent from Akita. It is fresh, sweet and sour, and light like a white wine. I want to enjoy it little by little as an aperitif.

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.

The accompaniment is roast pork. The flavor is thick and rich, with a distinct bitterness afterward. Surprisingly pleasant to drink, overturning the image of Junmai Daiginjo.

Accompanied by inari sushi. I opened a bottle of this wine that I got through crowdfunding a long time ago. It is light and crisp, not too dry and doesn't interfere with food, but it doesn't have a Junmai Daiginjo feel to it.

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.

Accompanied by fried whale with tatsuta-age sauce.
If you want to enjoy Iwate's cuisine, you cannot start without ordering Akabu. As the label says, it has a beautiful taste and is a stable deliciousness that you can honestly feel the deliciousness.

This is my first visit to Ichibei since its relocation. It is nice to see that they still offer the same great value for money drinking sets as before.
The sashimi platter is a perfect accompaniment. The aroma is clear from the moment it is poured, and the rich flavor is balanced with just the right amount of acidity for a great taste.

Purchase place] Minamisoma City (hometown tax payment)
The accompaniment is Western-style sukiyaki.
This sake is made from "Yume no Kaori" produced in Minamisoma. The bitterness that comes after the lightness of the sake goes well with sukiyaki, but I think it lacks a little more richness and umami.
