Sake Mirai Junmai Ginjo When one's eyes meet with a bottle of sake while shopping at a liquor store, one's mind wanders. This is a fateful encounter. I want to take her home and spend time with her. I want to hold her in my arms and look up at her in a tipsy mood and gasp at the beauty of the watchtower. But the life span of a bottle of sake is long. It is more than twice as long as a four-pack. Can we take care of it until the end of its life without letting it oxidize and without getting tired of it? Is there enough space in the refrigerator? Can they be stored in the refrigerator without being left at room temperature when drunk? Can you prepare appropriate snacks? If I had several drinkers who would drink with me, I would have no such doubts, but unfortunately, most of my acquaintances are weak people who start drinking beer, so I have to deal with a bottle on my own. In this respect, buying a bottle of Isshuikusuisei Sake Mirai requires no hesitation. You don't even need to be prepared. All you need to do is trust the Fukurokuju Brewery and the rice called Sake Mirai. However, you will need to empty your refrigerator. The taste is explosive from the moment you put it in your mouth. The deep, rich umami and sweetness are on the tongue, but not too assertive. As you savor the complex and strange taste, only the tail of the umami remains in your mouth slowly, and you can't resist taking another sip. This is the ultimate sake.

Junmai Ginjo Good Omen, Autumn limited edition Abekan Sake Brewery is located in Shiogama City, Miyagi Prefecture, and although overshadowed by Urakasumi in terms of name recognition, Abekan is famous in my opinion mainly for its honest yet new style of sake brewing. It is also good that they do not forget to be playful, collaborating with other breweries in the prefecture and creating unusual labels. This time, the label is double-layered, and when you flip over the magnificent chicken, you will see what you will find on ...... from the back. The taste is nothing to write home about. It has a sharp yet soft taste with a clean aftertaste. It goes well with saury, salmon, and bonito. There are many autumn sake, but you will not find one that goes so well with autumn fish.

Junmai Ginjo Hitonatsu no Koi I like Hitonatsu no Koi so much that I buy three bottles every season. Normally, the label is supposed to have two hearts nestled together, but the number of hearts on the label has increased dramatically, and I wondered if I was hallucinating because I loved it so much, or if my love had finally arrived. The overflowing hearts are like the Milky Way, which is very good. I like it. Needless to say, the taste is good. It is a summer edition of Atago's usual Atago no Matsu, with a slight meloniness and a deep, rich flavor that remains. The freshness of the summer sake is added to the outline of the flavor, so the impression left is simply light. As the ultimate in food sake, this sake is made with the same high skill as always in creating a flavor that does not interfere with food, but is so complete and satisfying that you can spend a happy summer evening with just this sake and water. We are the Shinzawa Brewery.

Junmai Ginjo Kingyo I love summer sake. When I reach the end of the day after fleeing from the blazing sun, I sip a glass of sake, cooled down to a crisp, and the taste is refreshingly cool, like the sound of wind chimes running through my body. For those of us who do not like the heat, it is one of the few pleasures of the summer season, and it can be said to be the water of life that helps us survive the harshest season of the year. The one that drew me into the world of summer sake was none other than Abekan Kinko's. At first glance, it looks like a plain white label, but it is in fact a goldfish. At first glance, the label is just plain white, but if you look at it from the back, you will see goldfish, goldfish, and more goldfish swimming in the sake. I was elated and surprised by the presentation, which was right in the middle of the summer season. There are many sake in the world, but it is not so easy to find a sake that tastes good even before you drink it. The taste is nothing to sneeze at either. It has a dry, light mouthfeel, a moderate acidity, and an umami aftertaste that is neither too strong nor too weak. It is sure to go well with almost any cool food, such as sashimi, chilled tofu with plenty of yakumi (condiments), and somen noodles served with chilled tsuyu (soy sauce). All of the dishes are tailor-made for summer and are the essence of sake made in a country with four distinct seasons. It is so summery that it would be safe to say that there is no summer sake without goldfish.

DATE SEVEN SEASON2 episode4 Hakuboshi style -Earth Evolution This is an annual project in which seven breweries in Miyagi Prefecture collaborate to make sake. Two breweries take the lead and finish one bottle each, and this is the work led by the Niizawa Brewery of Hakurakusei. The elaborate labels are also notable each year, this time featuring the contour lines of Osaki City, where the brewery is located, in a very stylish motif. The flavor profile is definitely the usual Hakurakusei, without any flamboyance, and it stands there quietly. However, if you taste it carefully, you can see the complex and strange taste created by the remaining Rokuzo breweries. It is sweet, refreshing, and fresh, with a sourness and a slight bitterness that run through the mouth, so all we can do is to be filled with an inexhaustible sense of happiness. The overall balance of the sake is not compromised, and it is a perfect food sake, which is why it is as skillfully brewed as ever. We are happy to be able to regularly encounter a sake that has only one flaw: it disappears after a few sips.

DATE SEVEN SEASON2 episode4 Urakasumi style - Sea of Tradition This is an annual project in which seven breweries in Miyagi Prefecture collaborate to produce sake. It has become the biggest and most important responsibility in the first half of every year in recent years to remember to reserve a bottle of this sake. Two breweries serve as leaders and are supposed to finish one bottle each, and this is the work led by Saura of Urakasumi. The elaborate labels are also a highlight each year, this time featuring the coastline of Shiogama City, where Urakasa has its brewery, in a very stylish motif. As the saying goes, "A boat with many boatmen climbs a mountain," and one wonders how much perfection can be achieved with seven breweries gathered together, but there is no need to worry about that. The flavor of Urakasumi, the leader of the seven breweries, is the core of the wine, while nuances of each of the other breweries can also be felt, and yet the overall balance is perfect. In particular, the smooth slide from sweetness to umami that develops the moment you take a sip is simply beautiful. If I could, I would put this taste in a picture frame to decorate it. The only drawback is that it disappears in an instant because it is too delicious, even though it is a precious sake that is only available once a year. Once you finish it, you will have to wait for a whole year until the seventh day of the seventh month next year, just like Orihime and Hikoboshi. It is fleeting.

Junmai Ginjo SPRING TIME Absolutely delicious Miyakanbai seasonal sake We have already talked about the deliciousness of Miyakanbai, but no matter how much we drink it, it is always good. The taste is quite different from the usual Miyakanbai, with a strong sweetness and sourness that is often found in peach-colored spring sake. It is characterized by a clean aftertaste, and although it has a strong flavor, it is very dangerous because you can keep drinking it as long as you want. It is a sake that makes you want to carry a bottle of it with you when you go out to see the cherry blossoms.

Yamawa✕ Hakurakusei Junmai Daiginjo Yamawa Shuzo and Shinzawa Brewery have teamed up to create this sake. What happens when these two breweries join forces to produce a delicious sake? After the fragrant and fresh mouthfeel, the umami spreads to the fullest, leaving a soft sweetness and a hint of acidity in the aftertaste. It sounds like a strong sake, but the way the flavor shifts and the aftertaste disappears is superb. The whole thing is so beautifully put together that it is perfect as a food sake, and, to my horror, I could drink it for as long as I wanted. In any case, the sake brewing is too good. The bottle, with its silver to black gradation and gold lettering, is also very beautiful. It is a masterpiece that can be enjoyed both to look at and to drink.

Junmai Daiginjo Unfiltered Nakadori Miyakanbai is the number one sake that I would like to circulate in my body in place of blood. When we drank it fresh from the refrigerator, the bitterness was too much and it was a little difficult to drink. However, when warmed to near room temperature, it takes on a sweetness that harmonizes with the bitterness and turns into a deeply savory taste. Miyakanbai, which can handle the roughness of unfiltered sake, is not a simpleton after all.

Miyakanbai Junmai Ginjo AUTUMN TIME This is one of our favorite seasonal sake from the "time" series. The freshness of the mouthful spreads out in a gorgeous manner, as if to say, "This is Miyakanme. The taste is skillfully composed with a smooth transition from the freshness of the mouthfeel to the calm flavor of the autumn sake and finally to the gentle aftertaste. The skill of the brewer is to make the most of the rice flavor while keeping a certain sharpness throughout. As usual, the sake brewing is too skillful. I love it so much that I want to count the fact that it is so good that it will soon be gone as a drawback.

DATE SEVEN, an annual collaboration of seven Miyagi sake breweries, is led by two breweries, this year Katsuyama and Suminoe. This is Katsuyama's creation. Every year the stylish label is designed for the Tanabata festival, and it is not only beautiful, but the Sendai Tanabata decoration and the mountain in the background is Izumigatake, which is very pleasing to the locals. I have always believed that Katsuyama's sake is never out of place, and when such a brewery is the leader, you can be sure that the sake will be delicious. Katsuyama's usual sweetness is the first thing that comes to my mind, but this time, the flamboyance of the mouthfeel is much more restrained. On the other hand, the elegant umami flavor is as usual or longer, spreading slowly and lingering on the tongue. If the usual Katsuyama flavor is a shooting star, this is like the Milky Way. The light is not dazzling, but it is always there. You can enjoy the slowly seeping flavor, but it is not cloying, and it is Katsuyama's skill and the strength of the other six breweries that have created such a high degree of perfection in this cup. It is a perfect match for Katsuyama's skill and the strength of the other six breweries. It is a sake that makes you want to drink it all the time, and it is truly regrettable that you can only find it once a year in a four-pack.

DATÉ SEVEN SEASON2 episode3: Suminoe style DATE SEVEN is an annual collaboration of seven Miyagi sake breweries, led by two breweries, Katsuyama and Suminoe. This one is by Suminoe. The stylish label is designed for the Tanabata Festival, and the Sendai Tanabata decoration, the San Juan Bautista, and the sea depicted on the label are all local designers' favorites. The taste is nothing to speak of. The sharpness and sharply penetrating flavor of Suminoe is preserved, while the complex flavors created by the remaining six breweries shift rapidly, overwhelming you from the first sip to the aftertaste. Each of the six remaining breweries has its own unique flavor, and no matter how much you drink, you will never get tired of it. It is also fun to drink it without thinking too much about it, thinking about how it tastes like this brewery! It is also fun to drink while thinking about such things as, "This flavor is just like this brewery! It is a shame that we only get to see this sake once a year, but it is also a reason to live to see it again next year. I am sincerely grateful to have had the chance to meet him.

Junmai Ginjo Hitotsubatsu no Koi The season of Natsukoi has come again this year! This is a summer sake from the Shinzawa Brewery!　It tastes a bit sweeter and cooler than usual. It is the ultimate food sake, leaving only the impression that it is delicious without any alcohol taste or habit. Or maybe I am just in love with this sake.

Junmai Ginjo Sake Mirai My favorite sake with my favorite name. I love it so much that I can no longer evaluate it with an impartial eye; it is a sake that I wish would flow through my body instead of my blood. It is more poised than flamboyant, yet has a very smooth texture and a dense flavor that invites you to heaven. It is neither too strong nor too weak, but has the perfect balance, and the umami aftertaste that lingers on the tongue keeps it from going back to the earth. God created the world in six days and rested on the seventh day after drinking Ippaku Suisei.

Junmai Daiginjo Atago no Sakura A rare sake in a PET bottle. It is probably a spring-only sake, limited to PET bottles. The fact that it is bottled in a PET bottle does not affect the quality at all, and one can clearly sense the efforts of the company. As the label suggests, the flavor is gorgeous, but the light color reminds one of cherry blossoms waving in the wind. The Junmai Daiginjo flavor and fragrance are skillfully restrained from becoming too strong, and the clean, clear finish is refreshing. This is exactly what the Shinzawa Brewery's Spring Edition feels like. Try it while the memory of cherry blossoms is still fresh in your mind.

Junmai Ginjo It is hard to tell from the picture, but this sake comes in a plastic bottle. It looks suspiciously like a bottle of sake, but I was tempted to pick it up because it was made by the Shinzawa Brewery, which is a cash cow. The PET bottle is coated to resist deterioration of the contents, and the four-pack capacity shows their dedication. The flavor is light and clean with little assertiveness, leaving behind a sweetness and umami that disappears softly, making it a perfect food sake that goes well with just about anything. In short, it is just like the usual Junmai Ginjo from the Shinzawa Brewery, which is why I was surprised that the quality of the sake was not affected even in PET bottles. Light!　Easy to open and close the stopper!　It won't break even if you bump it!　Above all, it is a container that makes a lazy person like me, whose room is covered with sake bottles whenever I'm not careful, very happy. It seems to have been on the market for several years and has been re-released several times, but this is the first time I've seen it. I hope it will spread more widely.

Junmai Daiginjo Akita Sake Komachi The most delicious liquid in the history of mankind, Isshaku Suisei. This time, it is made with Akita Sake Komachi, the sake rice from Akita, the brewer's hometown. The clear, uncluttered taste, based on sweetness, is somewhat reminiscent of glacial sugar. The aftertaste is as beautiful as the mouthfeel, yet the carefully crafted flavor is so delicate that it will not leave your heart. A drop of art. Or happiness that obeys the laws of hydrodynamics.

Junmai Daiginjo Akita Sake Komachi Every time you drink this sake, all you can say is "yummy". What happens when you drink a sake brewed with rice produced in Akita? It is. It has the gorgeousness of a Junmai Daiginjo, and the carefully polished umami behind the light sweetness. I guess I came to drink sake in order to encounter ICHIHAKUSUISEI.

Junmai Ginjo Nama Shu Kouka I usually don't drink Hokuriku sake, but since it was a special occasion, I decided to give it a try. I had an image of Hokuriku sake as dry and refreshing, but this was a very different flavor. The freshness of the sake, the sweetness and umami in the front, but the flavor does not spread too much, and the aftertaste is like fireworks as it disappears. I would like to try more sake from Kaga and Noto.

Special Junmai Nama-nazake This seasonal sake from Suitoki is always stylish with its direct printing on the bottle. It is decorated with snow crystals and can be enjoyed while thinking of the faraway winter of Kesennuma. The taste is soft, as is typical of nama-shu. It has a full body with a core of sweetness from the rice, and wears an atmosphere slightly different from that of usual Mizutoki, but the aftertaste is that feeling of umami that runs through with a crispness. The design of this sake, which shows a new face while not forgetting the familiar taste, is one word that can be summed up in one word, "brilliant.
