宮泉山田穂 火入れ純米吟醸

I'm continuing to abstain from drinking, but it's before the holidays. It's been a while since I've had a Miyazumi. When I put it in my mouth, it has a slight miscellaneous taste and an aroma of rice.

Tonight, we are enjoying a new brand of sake from Kuroryu with meat and potatoes and molokheiya. The finish is crisp and dry and does not interfere with the food. It is a bottle that can be drunk without being overbearing.

I've been sober for a while, so I had a drink after a long time on Friday night. When you put it in your mouth, you can taste the sourness and a hint of bitterness. Sake is delicious after all.

Tonight we had chicken cutlet with new sake from Saku. It has a gorgeous flavor typical of Saku, but it's a bit sweet. I'd be happier with a more crisp sake for fried food.

It's my first time drinking it (probably), but it's a fitting end to the day, and it's moderately robust.

Kaze no Mori is unfiltered and unpasteurized. It has a gorgeous aroma, but not overpowering. It is the best for the first drink.

It was the best sake I had at a sushi restaurant in Hakodate, so I welcomed it as my home sake. Hokkaido has always been an underdeveloped area for sake, but this sake shows the seriousness of its makers.

I don't like Nabeshima that much, but when I went to Koyama Shoten the other day, I wanted to buy a sake that is hard to find. It has a nice rice aroma and is tasty on the palate, but I prefer it to be a bit more crisp and clean. I think it's because I'm having fried food tonight.

Kuroryu, Fuku Bottle. I saw it at Koyama Shoten, so I bought it as a lucky charm. It tastes like a Daiginjo with a lot of body for a Kuroryu.

Tonight I had a wagyu steak with Akatake. The Akatake is a little too fruity compared to the line I usually drink, and I'd like it to be more crisp and clean, but it's perfect for a steak with lean meat.

I can't drink outside, so I drink at home. Tonight we had grilled beef tongue with salt, vinegared wakame seaweed and cucumber, simmered radish and minced chicken. I paired it with Naraman from the Fukushima Sake Never Betray series. It's a gorgeous junmai ginjo with sourness and aroma, and the aftertaste is crisp. It's delicious.

Tonight, with the junk Teba Karo, we had a dry sake instead of beer. As the label says "dry & jucie", it is dry. It has a sake content of 10, so it's more dry than juicy. It is the perfect sake to go with the thickly seasoned chicken wings.

I took a club room at the hotel, but they don't serve alcohol. So I bought this bottle at the liquor store in the basement of the hotel. When I put it in my mouth, I felt it was easy to drink, but it could be more refreshing.

Since we can't drink outside, I had a Daiginjo at home, which is expensive for Shinshu Kameari (but it's the best). It's quintessentially delicious! Still, it's too hard not to enjoy good sake and food outside. The only thing Japan can be proud of is its food, so I hope they will protect it properly.

Instrument Masamune is becoming harder to find due to its popularity, but I think Shizengo is a delicious sake that is as cosy as it gets. I think the plainness of the label bothers me. For us, it's nice to be able to drink good sake that's easy to find, so we don't want it to become too popular.

There is a Daiginjo in the Aso of the Fukui limited distribution of the Kuroryu. As a fan of Kuroryu, I had to drink this. When you put it in your mouth, you have a strong impression of acidity, but the aftertaste is dry and crisp. I think it is a dry line among the kuroryu.
