Sludgy nigori that heralds the new sake season
Fresh, juicy, rich and sweet
Even the hand that holds the cup feels heavy
It is not defeated by strong accompaniments such as pickled vegetables and ham.

Celebration! Kashima Antlers win ‼︎
Toast with Tasake
I don't remember Tazake being this fruity. It has a mouthfeel like ripe fruit that makes you feel like you've never tasted such a fruity drink!
Caramel-like sweetness, like sangen sugar or pomelo
After the grain-like richness, the caramel remains on the tongue, leaving a lingering aftertaste that makes you want to drink some more.
Seriously good!
Not to be outdone by the rich miso flavor of the oyster clay pot

Purchased at the main storehouse of Nanbu Bijin during a trip to Iwate last month.
Elegant aroma of green apple and strawberry.
Light and clear impression, not rough, even though it is a freshly pressed raw sake.
As the temperature rises, a rich sweetness like condensed milk is revealed.
A new sake that feels like spring even though it is winter!
With the memories of touring the brewery, tasting whiskey that has not yet been commercialized, and having a lot of fun

At Izakaya Ebisu
When I received a letter from the owner saying that the restaurant will close at the end of this year due to his old age, I had no choice but to go.
When I looked at the sake menu after a long absence, I was surprised to see that only four-pack bottles were available!
It seems that this is due to the limited number of customers.
With only one bottle, we wanted an all-rounder...
After much deliberation, we chose Tsuji Zenbei's Yamahai Junmai, which was reasonably priced and seemed to have a strong flavor!
The label reads "strictly forbidden to experts", as if it was designed to be a Yamahai for beginners.
Yes, I am always a beginner!
The aroma is slightly banana-like.
The mouthfeel is calm and mild.
The sweetness is mild and the umami of rice is strong.
The acidity in the aftertaste gives a refreshing impression and keeps you from getting bored.
Although the rice is 80% Yamada-Nishiki polished, you do not feel any cloying taste, which may be due to the power of the "super-thickness self-polishing" as stated on the label on the back of the bottle.
Sashimi has a sweet strawberry flavor.
It adds umami flavor to vegetables.
A well-balanced food sake
Sad to see it close, but thank you for providing a place to enjoy good sake and food!

Good morning, bap!
Oh I'm sad to see a familiar store close 💧.
😁✨✨Genin strictly forbidden is an interesting label 🎵
I get the impression that it's a delicious sake that combines the goodness of junmai sake with ease of drinking 😋.

Good evening, ma-ki- 😀.
I'm sorry to hear that, but I'm feeling tired. It was a gentle Yamahai that can't be easily underestimated: ☺️

As I recall, this was a return item from last year's Kurafan.
When there is no money to buy rice for sake, the relationship of trust between the brewer and the drinker is to help each other out.
Aged for more than 4 years, 70% Nipponbare rice polished to perfection
The sweetness is moderate and the acidity invites warming up.
Warmed up, it becomes well-balanced and full of flavor as a mealtime sake.
Goes well with oily food and curry
The downside is that it smells a little musty...
I wonder if we can buy more expensive sake rice this year...

A liquor designed to go with cheese, with a view to exporting to Italy.
Aroma is mild
Slightly milky
On the palate, banana flavor with a light sweetness, alcohol taste, and a bitter aftertaste
The mouthfeel is sour and greenish, but it settles down as the day goes by.
Pairing with cheese
It is said to be designed to go well with blue cheese, but for common people, snow brand 6-pack cheese is fine!
The sweetness of the sake matches the rich saltiness of the cheese.
The slight sourness also accentuates the taste, which is interesting!

I missed out on buying Urasato's new sake, so I went with Kirizukuba's new sake.
Urasato is Junmai and this one is Aruzome.
Muscat aroma
Slightly effervescent and refreshing
Slight sweetness and fresh acidity
Dry finish with astringency and bitterness
Can be gulped down like a soft drink
I feel that the season of new sake has come this year, too!

On a trip to Iwate, I visited a corner liquor store in Morioka's Sakanamachi shopping district.
I had never heard of this brand, so I tried it, but it was made by Drunken Shuzo, which is well known for its "Yukikko" brand.
Tategami" is the name of an old place in Rikuzentakata City.
Slightly citrusy mouthfeel.
After that, the taste of rice
Bitterness in the aftertaste
A cup of Mokkiri is a nice touch
There are so many sakes I want to drink, but just one

Junmai Daiginjo for the brewery's 170th anniversary
Thankfully, I was given a sample of three different rice wines to compare...
Yeah, they're the same!
I tried to guess blindly, but I couldn't hit anything...
What they have in common is
Mellow, fruity, sweet and juicy
Lightly caramelized flavor.
The differences, to put it bluntly
Hitanishiki: strawberry flavor and clarity
Miyamanishiki: Sharp aroma
Hachitan-Nishiki: Strong sweetness with bitterness and astringency in the aftertaste
According to the internet, Hitachi Nishiki is made with No.18 yeast, while Miyamanishiki and Hachitan Nishiki are a blend of No.18 and No.14 yeast...heh!
I realize that I am still a young man who needs more training!
But it was delicious!

A bottle of Kenrishi that I had seen in supermarkets and convenience stores and wanted to buy someday
Purchased at a convenience store as an offering
Taste of Kenrishi
Sweetness, umami, maturity and sharpness
Wonderfully concentrated!
It can be served at room temperature.
But it can also be heated up in a bottle with a microwave.
I want to reuse it.

Trophies from the recent "Umaishii Ibaraki Jizake Kessen" (Ibaraki Sake Competition)
Raifuku Jun Dai Aizan 40% polished rice
Mellow aroma and rich sweet flavor.
The fact that it is not too sweet does not bore you.
Goes well with cream stew.
In the deciding match, there are two divisions, daily and premium, which are scored by brand.
I thought my first choice was Watashu in both categories, but it was Raifuku in both...
I'll drink again tonight if I haven't had enough training yet

The third drink outside was a bunny girl.
I'm still a young man who chose this one based on the label.
Autumn Sake with Gohyakumangoku and No.14 yeast
Not as flashy as it looks, but very powerful!
Calm taste and depth
Dry aftertaste for a mid-meal drink
Boiled satoimo with salt
Salt is good, but the spicy miso also invites sake.
