味の表現が拙いですが備忘録として。 若い頃は日本酒の旨さなんて分からなかったけど40代に突入してからとにかく旨い! 歳の重なりと共に味覚の趣向って変わるんだなと実感。 今のところ田酒の特純(華吹雪)が一番好き。 他、好みは甘さ控えめ系、生酛造りやアミノ酸を感じるものなど。 宮城に生まれ宮城に育ち宮城に住んでます。

It's been a while since I've been up to date. I looked in my favorite local liquor store. I saw a bottle of sake at the Kurao Brewery corner. Is it a sake yeast yeast? The clerk said, "Kao Shuzo has just released a new sake called "Namo Hashiroshi. The clerk said, "Kurao Shuzo has released a new sake called "Namo Hashiroshi". Of course they did! I had never seen it before. So, of course I bought it. The rice used for the sake is Kura-no-Hana. The label is simple, but if you look closely, you can see the word "Zao" in gray on the back of the word "Namaho". I immediately took a sip. It has a well-balanced umami and sweetness with a moderate gasiness, and it feels somewhat light for its 16% alcohol content. It's so good! I have been into sake for two and a half years. I am deeply impressed by the local sake brewery, Kurao Shuzo. I feel it deeply today. Thank you for the treat! ★★★★ By the way, I didn't upload it, but the Junmai Ginjo made with Hidakami's Aizan was also delicious!

If you are a local with Zao Sake Brewery and a sake lover, you must taste it! So here it is, a commemorative sake for the 150th anniversary of the Zao Sake Brewery. The label is gorgeous! The sake rice is Miyamanishiki, but the rice polishing ratio is 85%. It is rare, isn't it? The aroma is calm and pleasant. When drinking it, there is no peculiarity, and it has a rich rice flavor with a good balance. It is a treat!

It's been a while since I've uploaded this. It was so hot today. Maybe because I'm not used to the heat this year, I got so hot in the head after a little bit of bike practice with my son in the sun 💨. So, we drank a glass of K series "Summer Light" from Zao Shuzo for dinner. The bottle is a cool, almost transparent blue bottle. We opened the bottle immediately. The first sip is refreshing and then crisp! It was delicious and perfect for the hot season! Thank you for the sake!

It's been a while since I uploaded this. I lost my way with a zodiac bottle of Tasake at a local liquor store. As a result, I bought a bottle of Zao, a local sake. The accompaniment was salted squid with sake lees of Zao Daiginjo. Of course they go well together! I couldn't wait to drink it. It was fresh and had a good amount of gas! This is how I'm going to end the year. Happy New Year, everyone!

Today, I got a bottle of Jikin and Shinmasa at a local bar. I was shocked! They are so delicious! Both have one thing in common: they are delicious from the start all the way through to the aftertaste! That's all.

I forgot to upload it. What I remember is that the umami flavor was different from many other brands. Thank you very much for your hospitality. Thank you very much.

I was curious to buy it because it is Hana-buki. The unique flavor of this Kamikame, if I were a sake connoisseur, I would be able to guess this one. A treat! ★★★☆☆☆

Pioneering! So, sake from Nara. I bought it at a local liquor store. The owner said, "It's the opposite of gorgeous and fruity. It always takes me a long time to make a choice, so today I made a quick decision! The bottle was opened immediately! The aroma is definitely less fruity. The moment I drank it, I thought, "Hmm? Water? Then, a wave of spiciness rather than umami immediately hits, leaving a lingering pungent aftertaste for a while. So far, I'm not that impressed. It gets better gradually after opening the bottle. "I recommend to drink it at room temperature or above," the owner said. I would like to enjoy it from now on. I would like to enjoy it from now on. Thank you for the drink!

It has been a long time since I have been up. First time entering a liquor store in a neighboring town. I knew it existed and had been planning to go there someday since I got into sake. The selection of sake is not the same as at my local liquor store or the liquor store in another neighboring town, so it's fun just to look around. There are so many brands I want to try, but I'll try to control my greed. I bought a kamosu mori and a mini mini otter. I opened a bottle of kamosu mori. Nice aroma (I'm not good at describing aroma, so it's a bit of a mess). The first impression of the taste is that it has a good amount of schwash, and the sake flavor is relatively low, making it easy to drink and delicious! The 14% alcohol content also makes it very easy to drink. I would like to repeat this again, thanks for the treat! ★★★★

Bunkajin purchased together with Jyukyu. I've always been partial to brands from the Tohoku region, so I'm exploring! I had a choice between Junmai Ginjo and this one, but I prefer the taste of rice flavor and sharpness, so I went for this one! I opened the bottle immediately. It smells fresh and fruity, but I can't be sure exactly what it is. When I drank it, I felt sweetness, umami, acidity, and carbonation all rushing toward me at the same time! It claims to be dry, but my impression is that it's not that dry. It's good, it's Swiss... ★★★★

Purchased at Marumasa Sake Shop in the next town over. A cute hedgehog label caught my eye. There are only two stores in the prefecture that carry this brewer's sake. I bought it. I am not aiming to conquer the whole country, but I am one step closer. I immediately opened the bottle. A fresh and nice aroma...(I don't know what kind of fruit it is!). Fruity aroma on the nose and a tangy carbonation on the tongue! Delicious! It is very similar to the Nichiranda that I uploaded before. The difference is that it is a little lighter and less ricey than Hiwada. I think women would like it more than men. Thanks for the treat! ★★★★

It is a regular place where we settle down for some reason. The snacks are salted squid made with Daiginjo sake lees and furofuki daikon radish. Let's work hard again tomorrow!

This is one of the limited-edition "Kokoro Series" by a young master brewer of Zao Sake Brewery. The label is nice. I took a sip. The aroma is subdued, and the spiciness is stronger than the sweetness, but the spiciness also seems to be going down smoothly. It goes down fast! I'm going to keep it for now and have it with sashimi or grilled fish next time! ★★★

HidakamiDaccha 純米吟醸

Hidakami's Daccha is made from "Gin-no-Iroha" sake rice, which was born in 2020 in Miyagi Prefecture. The name "Daccha" comes from a typical Miyagi dialect Daccha", a typical Miyagi dialect word (in my opinion, but I am sure it is true). If you look closely at the crescent moon on the label, you will see that it says, "If you want to do it with fish, it's Hidakami Daccha. I took a sip. The aroma is subdued, and the taste is like a small wave of sweetness and sourness that comes in at the same time and then disappears in a big wave. It would be a shame to drink it without snacks. Unfortunately, there was no fish today, but stewed squid and daikon radish, and salted squid. Still delicious, though! I will keep it for next time's fish. ★★★

At a certain inn in Yamagata Zao Onsen. First of all, fruity! (I don't even know which fruit flavor!) And then a hint of sourness and exquisite sweetness! This is what I mean when I say I can drink it easily. Delicious, thank you. ★★★★

Purchased at an in-house auction. I tried to drink it right away. What is it? It's so soft on the palate! I don't know what the aroma is, but it is fruity! After that, the rich and thick umami flavor spreads out, while at the same time, the sharpness is smooth and flat until the end. I have only been brewing for a short time, so I didn't know about this, but I looked it up and found out that it is made from "Omachi" sake rice. I see...no wonder I'm an omatist when I learn about this flavor. Delicious! ★★★★
