うにろん
[Place of purchase]? (Souvenir) The accompaniments are grilled amacho togarashi and thick fried tofu. The enclosed flier says "Please put the product in the freezer about an hour before drinking and serve in a small glass with a squeak." However, a bottle of sake does not fit in the freezer, so I chilled it in the sake cellar (-5°C) until just before drinking before opening the bottle. The sake is neither too sweet nor too spicy, and is surprisingly easy to drink. Rating: A

It has a really rich flavor, and the taste of water can be glimpsed from the back, and there is also a sense of fruit juice. It is also good if you add a little bit of ice. Rating: A

うにろん
[Place of purchase]? (Gift received) Accompanied by fava beans. One sip and grain? I thought it was grain, but was surprised by the complex flavors that emerged as the temperature rose. As stated on the label, I think this sake shows its true potential at 10-15 degrees Celsius, rather than fresh out of the refrigerator. Rating: A

うにろん
Where to buy】Shuagakudo The accompaniment is motsu nabe. The bottle was purchased as a souvenir from a trip to Hakone last year, and opened just now. The faceless label is unusual. It has a high alcohol content, a slightly bitter taste, and a refreshing sharpness, but the umami is not quite there. It was a little easier to drink on the rocks with ice. Rating: B

[Place of purchase]? (Gift received) Accompanied by grilled bacon. Complex flavor with a gorgeous aroma that passes through the nose, rich acidity, bitterness, and grain flavors. It is quite gutsy, but it neutralizes the fat of the meat in a good way. Rating: A

うにろん
Marunouchi Gyoko Marche, Aichi's local sake tasting and sales event Accompanying it is roast pork. I saw a stall at the Tokyo Station Marché and tasted & bought it. The color is slightly like that of watered-down green tea. Despite its rich flavor, it is as refreshing and easy to drink as the azure color of the label, and even though it is a pure sake, it is easy to drink. The subtle yeast flavor that comes up later is also nice. Rating: A

Where to buy]? (Souvenir) Accompanied by layered steamed Chinese cabbage and pork belly. What a sake degree: -35.0. It is brewed by re-brewing kurukuru, hence the name guruguru, and has a rich sweetness and acidity like a liqueur or honey. Very tasty, but consider this an aperitif and move on to another sake.

Where to buy] Musashiya Sake Store It is served with motsunabe. When you open the bottle, you can smell the aroma, the sweetness of the rice is clear at first, and then a nice miscellaneous taste and elegant bitterness accentuate the taste, which washes away the richness of the motsunabe. It's a great beer for any kind of snack. Rating: A

Where to buy] Sunpu Rakuichi This is a botan nabe. It is a grain-based beer. When cooled, it has a sweet and sour taste, and as the temperature rises, the bitterness becomes more pronounced. It has a unique taste that I have never experienced before, but it is well balanced and easy to drink. There seems to be a lot of sake in Shizuoka that I don't know about, so I want to keep exploring. Rating: A

[Where to buy]? (Gift) The accompaniment is tsukudani and cheese. I opened a bottle that had been sitting for about half a year. It's a dream or a mirage to see it disappear quickly, leaving a faint spicy and bitter aftertaste on the tip of the tongue. The sweetness rises as the temperature rises, which is also good. It's a versatile beer that goes well with any snack. Rating: A
