Recently, I have been drinking only hiyaoroshi. The hiyaoroshi of Urakasumi, a representative of Miyagi Prefecture, is a stable taste. It is mellow, fruity, and delicious 🍶.

Sake made with sake rice (Miyamanishiki) produced by a natto maker. There is no natto bacteria used at all, it is just regular sake lol. The taste is moderately fruity with a robust umami flavor that is similar to that of a pure sake, and it is delicious (^^) Autumn sake has many of my favorite flavors 🍶´-

A friend of mine who had been to Nara on a business trip once told me that "Nara's sake was delicious! I did not know what brand my friend drank, but I picked up this Mimuro Sugi Hiyoroshi last year because I wanted to try Nara's sake. I found it at the same liquor store this year and bought it immediately. It was consistently delicious 😋. I hope to drink the regular all-year-round product soon 🍶´-.

Taste comparison of a raw sake and a fire-aged (maybe) sake from the same brewery, sake rice, and rice polishing ratio. Both have a strong acidity and umami from the Yamahai process, but the Hi-ire sake is mellower and seems to go well with sashimi and other light snacks. The Nama sake is thick and rich, and is good with foods with strong flavors such as sweet-and-sour pork and kimchi.

The first bottle of hiyaoroshi this season is from Kesennuma's Mizutoki🍶. Kura-no-Hana" is Miyagi's sake rice, which is often used for refreshing sake, but the characteristics of Mizutoki combined with those of hiyaoroshi, which has been aged for one summer, made it a very rich sake (^^) Yum! #Suidoki #Special Junmai #Hiyaroshi #Kura no Hana #Sake #Kakusei #Kesennuma #Kesennuma City #Miyagi Prefecture

Today's DATESEVEN is from the brewery led by Saura of Urakasumi, and while Koganezawa is fruity and easy to drink, Urakasumi is more robust and drinkable. It has a strong lactic and acidic taste, so it will not be overwhelmed by any dishes.

Seven breweries in Miyagi Prefecture (Katsuyama, Urakasumi, Suminoe, Hakurakusei, Yamawa, Haginotsuru, and Koganezawa) share the responsibility of brewing sake in the "DATESEVEN" series. For episode 1 of SEASON 2, Kawatakei Shoten of Koganezawa and Saura of Urakasumi are the leader breweries. Today we drank Koganezawa's DATESEVEN for dinner. It is fruity like a peach, rich and delicious. By the way, the snack was canned mackerel from Kinoya Ishinomaki Suisan, which, like Kawatakei Shoten, has a factory in Misato Town, Miyagi Prefecture 😋.

It has a lactic acidity and a good balance of sweet and sour taste 😋. Today, which was very hot, I'm having a drink with pickled plums as a snack with dinner.

The blue label is summery, special junmai sake from a brewery in northern Miyagi Prefecture. It is made from Sasanishiki, a Uruchi rice from Miyagi. It has a banana-like aroma and a strong umami taste of rice with a hint of sourness, making it a good summer sake 😊.
