Saki
Something smooth, fruity, and delicious! It is made with the feeling of It is delicious as a matter of course. I was drinking with my seniors, so I couldn't keep a record.

Saki
As the name "Hana-Kaise" suggests, it has a flowery aroma and a thick mouthfeel typical of freshly stored sake. It is very tasty and easy to drink. It is a sake that is good for any physical condition. This was the second bottle of the Wakamiya Sake Brewery set. As an aperitif for okonomiyaki.

Second, hot sake. When I asked for it, it came out as something a raccoon would drink. The taste was a little fatty and rich. I think it was the rice. I think it's because of the rice, but it's the first time I've tasted this pattern.

The ban on lunch with friends is lifted! We were supposed to go to an Italian restaurant, but it was under renovation, so we hurriedly went to Gyu-Kaku... and it was my debut at Kamizen Nyosui! Even though it's a Junmai Ginjo, it's definitely light and refreshing. It doesn't interfere with the meat and is easy to drink!

The other day I visited the Wakamiya Sake Brewery in Ayabe and took home four different kinds. (On a side note, I drank some at a local izakaya, but they didn't let me see the bottles, so no post.)
I thought I'd start with the Junmai Ginjo, since the last sake was so robust, but I was surprised to find it was drier than I expected. I can understand why the local pubs were collecting Wakamiya Shuzo or Niigata's Dry Tanrei. Everyone loves this atmosphere.
I found out about Wakamiya Shuzo when I was introduced to it at one of my favorite restaurants, and it was introduced to me as a place that makes good old-fashioned sake, so it's the kind of sake I want to choose when I want this kind of flavor in the future.
Ayabe's a nice town too, and it was fun--!

I've been drinking sake since I finished my vaccination. On the way home, I saw a bargain on mackerel sushi that was about to expire, so I rushed to the convenience store to pick up some special junmai sake.
It has a peculiar aroma. That's what I thought. The hiyaoroshi was rather faint, so it seemed very clear... It's an unpasteurized sake, so it's packed with flavor and the sweetness of the rice, but the aftertaste is so dry that it feels cold. I'm going to warm it up after the second glass. I want to drink it with dashi (soup stock) because I have chicken nabe.

I opened it! This is my second bottle of Hiyaoroshi. It might be my first Kyohime. Special Ginjo Genshu. I want to keep a few bottles of this.
It's been stored at room temperature, so the moment I opened it, I was filled with a fruity pear-like aroma that put me in a great mood.
It's sweet in the mouth! But the aftertaste is hot and chilly.
We had canned fish, pork miso soup, and rice for dinner, but I think the rice went best with the sake. I think it would go well with vinegared rice instead of grilled rice balls.

This year's Hiyaoroshi debut. First, let's start with the limited edition Eikoh, which requires refrigeration. The aroma is the sweet smell of rice, and the mouthfeel is soft, but it instantly becomes sharp. The aroma of the rice with a hint of bran, the feeling that it gets hotter and hotter, it's delicious - it was Japanese food that went well with it! (The day I opened it, I drank it with ham and cheese)
(I drank it with cured ham and cheese the day I opened it.) Today, I'm drinking it with Sagano-yaki from Ogura Sanso.

The "Nara no Yae-Zakura" that I took home. When I tasted it, I thought it might be similar to Ine Mitsubai. I thought so. The sourness comes first, and then it ends with a sweet but refreshing feeling. It is a sake that can be drunk by itself. I drink it while eating tofu and vinegared food. I love that it goes well with things that taste so bland!

This is a summer sake version of Mujyohai from Toyosawa Shuzo. It is firm, but easy to drink.

It's a sake aged for one year at an ice temperature, made by letting a good year's sake rest for one year. The sweetness of the rice, the richness, and the fruity taste all come together nicely. It is easy to drink. We enjoyed it with a nice fish.

We had it as an aperitif. It is very sweet. It's beyond fruity, but it might be a good entrance for someone who doesn't like sake to try it first. I drank it easily. It seems to be classified as a liqueur.

At Nara Izumi Yusai. I said, "I want to drink something sweet like summer. and this sake was served to us. I thought it would be fruity, but I was delighted to find it was full of body. It was thick and yellowish in color. It's mellow and sweet, but it's also robust, and it'll make you dizzy before you've emptied your glass. I like it very much.

Tasting at Nara Senyuusai. I went there with the intention of buying Nara's Yaesakura, but I was curious so I compared them.
I think the sake from this brewery has a distinctive sourness. I had been drinking it cold, but I wanted to warm it up as I drank it.

A cuppa sake. I have to work today and tomorrow, but I'm in the mood. Tsururei is a local sake from Uonuma. It is a local sake from Uonuma. But it is soft and comfortable to drink. I found out that it's called mellow dry. What's the flower? Hotarubuku? Gentian? It looks upward, so it's gentian, isn't it?
We had fried beef and green pepper with black vinegar for dinner. It's easy to drink and goes well with anything.

Product shop series. The summer sake of the sake brewery in Iwate. Their name is Senko Hanabi and the label has a picture of a sparkler. It is Junmai Nama Genshu Usu Nigori.
It has a sweetness that is somewhere between melon and pear, with a slight carbonation that clinks and lingers on the tongue along with the alcohol. It is easy to drink. After drinking it, it is fragile. It's a sparkler...!

I had been drinking only Junmai Ginjo, which is a summer sake, and I wanted to drink something a little more robust, so I went to a liquor store near my office and asked for a Yamahai or Ikegan.
The aroma in the mouth is completely different. It tastes like the richness of the rice is slowly curling upwards. It is thick but not too heavy, and it is nostalgic and sweet.
Maybe it's because I brought it home from the fridge and left it at room temperature for a while, but it's just right, everything!
I'm going to stop chiming in and start chopping.

Product shop series. This is a summer sake from Fukushima that I was curious about. It is fizzy because of the secondary fermentation in the bottle.
It is not yellowish nigori, but white and translucent. It is described as dry, but when you take a sip, you get a rich sweetness from the rice and a bitter aftertaste like grapefruit. The spiciness of the foam lingers on the tongue. It is a summer sake that is easy to drink but makes your stomach hot. What's more, I like summer sake because it looks refreshing... I want to enjoy it well this summer.

I bought it at the product shop of Isetan. I'm weak to the phrase "like milk".
It is sweet, and afterwards, it has a strong feeling of alcohol.
It looks thin and cloudy. It's a summery sake.
It's recommended to drink on the rocks, so I had the second glass on the rocks.
I heard it goes well with meat, but we didn't have any meat today.

This is a gift that was sleeping in the refrigerator. I really wanted to drink it at New Year's, but I couldn't because I finished Ottersai and my short New Year's vacation was over.
Because I left it for a long time, I thought it was moldy. I was so nervous. The aroma was like normal alcohol. But when you take a sip, it smells and tastes like pear juice. It reminds me of the feeling when I received a cardboard box full of pears from the country. A nostalgic taste.
It's lightly nigori, but I've had the experience of leaving nigori sake at room temperature in the past and having the lid blow off, so I put it back in the fridge right away.
This sake is from Hirakata in Osaka. The name is taken from "Kurawanka Fune," a boat that plied the river between Kyoto Fushimi and Osaka. It is brewed with Hirakata farmer's proud rice (Hinohikari).
