Tonight, it's been a while since I've had pineapple juice, CEL-24 from Kameizumi. Recently, I have been seeing more and more of it within my radius of activity. The sound of a freshly opened bottle. When you put it in your mouth, it is sweet and juicy, and the pineapple aroma escapes through your nose. The aftertaste is also delicious with a nice sharpness. It is a sake that I want to drink regularly for some reason. We enjoyed it with sweetly seasoned Chinese stir-fry with green pepper.

I don't know if it will last until the end of the year, but while shopping for sake for the New Year's holiday, I found a sake that I don't usually see, so I quickly took it home. It is Hazhu Honor 50 from Kangiku's Occasional Series. As the bottle opening warning on the bottle label says, the sound of the bottle opening is a pleasant pop. In the mouth, it has fine gas, elegant sweetness, and a gorgeous ginjo aroma, with almost no acidity or bitterness. We enjoyed it with roast beef rubbed with maitake mushrooms while watching YouTube. It was delicious. I almost wish I had saved some for New Year's.

This is the sake from Shirafuji in Wajima that we have been drinking the most. It is a sake made from Iwate Prefecture's Kame-no-o, a low-purity sake brewed in a "nama-hashiroshi" style. When poured into a glass, it has a slight color. In the mouth, it has a soft sweetness that is typical of Shirafuji, with a strong umami. There is a hint of astringency in the aftertaste. When warmed to human skin, it has a sweetness, but it also has an astringent taste. When paired with a slightly darker food (iburigakko, cheese, pastrami), the oiliness cancels out the astringency, and it is quite nice. When the astringency disappears, the sweetness and umami stand out, making it a delicious pairing.

This is the first Kido I have seen in a long time that caught my eye on a business trip. Last year, I paid my hometown tax on it. Attracted by the name "Shiboritate Nama Shuzake" and the reasonable price, I immediately took some home with me. When you put it in your mouth, you feel a slight gassy sensation on the tip of your tongue. Immediately, a strong sweetness spreads softly in the center of the tongue. As you swallow, you feel a sour taste in your mouth and a fruity aroma escaping through your nose. The bitterness lingers on the back of the tongue, but is nicely counteracted by the "smoked samadai" entrées such as iburi gakko (pickled ginger) and smoked cheese. It is a delicious sake with good cost performance.

I was a little puzzled as to whether or not I should post it here, but it came up right away in a brand search, so I guess it's okay. This is "Doburoku" from Tokyo Station Hasegawa Sake Brewery. In the mouth, there is a fine gassy sensation, and the umami and sweetness of the rice spread to the back of the tongue. There is almost no sourness or bitterness, and the texture is smooth. There is none of the rice glutinousness found in other doburoku. The alcohol content is 7%, so it is suisui while savoring the flavor of the rice. The "akaba saba" (red mackerel?) is simmered in miso and served with dinner. I took it out of the fridge because we had something called "red mackerel" simmered in miso on the dinner table, but it was gone soon after. It was delicious when I drank it at the restaurant, but it is still a delicious sake to drink at home.

When I visited Yamaya to buy beer, they had just replenished Kamo Nishiki packaged sake. I felt like I was being called, so I took home this cosy, light and refreshing nigori sake. We enjoyed it with a side dish of Kabako crab, which had suddenly become cheap. I was sorry to hear about Oh-no-sato's absence from the tournament. I hope he will recover well and do his best in the first tournament next year!

It has become completely cold. As the delicious, round, dried sardines appeared on the dinner table this evening, a bottle of "Hayashi" that was sitting on the stair landing made its appearance. You almost never see 4-gou bottles of this sake, and since it is basically a bottle of sake, you can only buy it when it is cold. It has been a long time since I have had Hayashi. At room temperature, Hayashi has a mildly sweet and umami taste that spreads in the mouth, followed by a light acidity, and a ginjo aroma that escapes through the nose and finishes quickly. The sake has a light acidity after that, and the ginjo aroma escapes through the nose, leaving it crisp and clean. The flavor seems to increase even more when it is lukewarm. It pairs well with the umami and saltiness of dried sardines. I am sure it would go well with oden. Hayashi" is the best choice for this season, as it has a taste that does not tire you out. I wonder how long this bottle will last.

Today is the first visit to the San-in region. First time! Even though it is from the Hiaue Sake Brewery, the sake we encountered was not a standard sake. It is the first sake made with white malted rice. In the mouth, it has light acidity and a hint of sweetness, with a citrusy aroma reminiscent of white wine escaping through the nose. The bitterness is kept in check, so it is delicious even when drunk on its own, and since it has a mouthfeel reminiscent of white wine, it is best served with dishes involving olive oil. It is good with sea bream or octopus carpaccio. It is delicious. The first sake that the brewery tried was excellent, so my expectations for their regular sake have been raised considerably. I'm looking forward to encountering it somewhere, as I enjoy "no charge" encounters that I don't order in.

Today's sake is from Kurumata. This sake is made from "GI Hakusan (Hakusu Hakusan)," which is made from "Hyakumangoku No Shiro," a sake rice suitable for sake brewing in Ishikawa Prefecture, and all rice produced in Hakusan City. When you put it in your mouth, you will be hit with a strong acidity and the delicious taste of rice. When you roll the sake around in the glass, it is so robust that it leaves an afterimage on the inside of the glass. The entrée is red dried fish and oden. It is a perfect pairing with the sweet sake at a temperature close to room temperature.

The crab ban is lifted! But I can't get my hands on snow crab, so I will be steadily processing Kabako crab at home. I will be serving it with Kouji-san. When you put it in your mouth, you can feel the gas and the sweetness is moderate, but the aroma is delicious. The bitterness that comes gradually at the end is also nice. Crab meat, sake, outer shell, sake, inner shell, sake, crab miso, sake. It's a nice loop. It will be a good season for a while.

When I visited Toyama, I saw an unusual scene of sushi pictures lined up in 270 mm jars. This is a bottle of nodoguro. In Toyama, people are getting excited about "sushi is Toyama," and it seems that sake has collaborated with that. I bought a bottle of nodoguro, but I hadn't seen any nodoguro recently, and since it was the weekend, I opened it. The brand of sake is not written on the bottle, but I thought it was "Kurobe Gorge" if it was made by Hayashi-san in Toyama and al-douched. It is a sake that should be warmed up a little to let the sweetness stand out. There is another bottle of "Ika" in the refrigerator. Following the intention of the seller, I would like to try it with "Ika" next.

Alcoholic beverages that were lying in the back of the vegetable room? Unearthed. It is a very low al 5% argo. In the mouth, there is no bitterness or sourness. It is a light sweet sake with a hint of koji aroma. It is like an elegant "taco high. I am puzzled by the difference from the "Kaze no Mori" I had just before, but I think this is fine. It may be okay if you are drinking outside. However, if I were to drink it at home, I would probably buy a less expensive sake.

On the first day of the consecutive holidays, we will drink this one with a higher alcohol content. It is a limited edition sake commemorating the 25th anniversary of Kaze no Mori. When the bottle is opened, you can feel the strong, robust response. The sake mother is made using the "Mizuhata" method of brewing in a jar. This sake is a blend of "Hi-no-Tori" rice shochu aged in oak barrels for more than 10 years and "Keicho" 10-year old shochu. In the mouth, vanilla and banana-like aromas from the oak barrels follow. The 19% alcohol content also gives it a heavy, heavy feeling. The lingering aftertaste is unlike any sake I have ever had. We served it with sashimi of gas shrimp, which has a strong flavor, and vinegared yam to clear the palate. As usual, I drink it unprotected and get a little clammy in the middle. You can soften it with a rock or Wilkinson.

谷泉ラベルを見かけたのでそのままお持ち帰りです。 手取川の吉田酒造店さんとの共同醸造です。 被災蔵の復興はまだまだ。加賀のお蔵さんが今年も支援を続けていて、能登の酒を守っていただいています。 出来上がった共同醸造のお酒は、谷泉の酒というよりは、吉田さんの酒にかなり寄っていますが、アルコール度数はしっかり15度あります。 口に含むとしっかりとガス感がきて、ほの甘〜旨〜フワ苦〜といった感じです。 アルコール度数はありますが飲み疲れしないスッキリした飲み口なので、スイスイいってしまいます。 オリーブオイル＋岩塩＋かつお節の冷奴、ベストマッチです！

I was attracted by the label that caught my eye and brought it home. It was a bottle of Denshogiku by Kangiku Meikozo. I opened the bottle with trepidation at the "Caution when opening the bottle" sign. The bottle opened with a nice gas release. It was slightly cloudy because it was a bit cloudy. There are fine bubbles on the inside of the glass. When you put it in your mouth, you can feel a strong gaseous sensation. The sweetness is less pronounced than expected, and the umami of the rice and the clear bitterness come one after the other, and then it quickly finishes. The image of the bottle suggests that it should be served with light dishes, but it has a delicious flavor that would go well with strong dishes as well. This series is served once a year. I wonder how much it will cost next year due to the recent rise in the price of sake rice.

It is a low-alcoholic and delicious sake brewed with "Hyakumangoku No Shiro," a brand-name sake rice from Ishikawa Prefecture. It is a low-alcohol, easy-to-drink sake. The moderate gassiness is also pleasant. It is labeled "Kozokura," but we enjoyed it with boiled fish, which is apparently "yellowtail" in appearance. Oh, it's a bad idea, and before you know it, there won't be much left.

Sake breweries in Noto, sake for supporting reconstruction. This sake is a collaboration between Sakurada Shuzo of Suzu and Kurumata Shuzo of Tengumai. The stronger color is due to more Tengumai's Honjozo? We enjoyed it with light sashimi of Soi. Step by step, toward reconstruction. We are supporting them. The sake brewery in Kaga, which has been helping us with joint brewing since the earthquake, is also wonderful.

On the first day of a three-day weekend, grilled sanma (mackerel) made an appearance. Hiyaoroshi" was the perfect accompaniment. It is hiyaoroshi "Kizuna" from Matsuura Sake Brewery in Kaga Yamashiro Onsen. It is brewed with Hachitan-Nishiki from Hiroshima. When you take a sip, a gorgeous aroma spreads in your mouth, followed by the umami and sweetness of the rice, and then the acidity and moderate bitterness. The pairing with saury with a hearty belly is simply "delicious". It also rinses the mouth well. In this age of aromatic and gorgeous drinks, this kind of sake is also important.

Hiyaoroshi is on sale this weekend. We will have hiyaoroshi of Tedorigawa. Modern Yamahai, low alcohol, is the recent Tetorigawa. In the mouth, the sake has a calm quality, not the usual sweet schwarziness. It has a subtle melon-like sweetness. Sourness and bitterness only linger on the tongue at the end. It is low-alcoholic, so it is swishy on its own. However, with this sake quality, I feel that the usual gaseous freshness would be better. Since the concept is "hiyaoroshi," this is probably where it will land. It is a bad boy that you can easily drink it with kombu kamaboko as a side dish.

It's the middle of the week, and it's time for a refreshing drink. We will be drinking "Wajima Monogatari" by Shirafuji Shuzo, a sake brewery that has made a comeback in the disaster-stricken island of Wajima. The label is full of flavor and hand-applied. When you take a sip, the refreshing sweetness and umami of Gohyakumangoku spreads in your mouth in a nice way. The acidity and umami are hard to describe in words. What is it? It is an interesting thing that happens every time I drink Shirafuji's sake. Even though it is only the middle day of the week, it is still a delicious sake that I can't help but drink again today.
