This is Houou Mita, which was waiting for its turn in the vegetable room to be drunk slowly during the Bon vacation. I couldn't wait for dinner, so I drank a light glass with something dry. It is a strong sake with a strong sense of sake and assertiveness, with a hint of gas, sweetness and acidity. If you serve it with soft food, you may be defeated by the sake. Open a bottle of sea urchin tofu and enjoy it slowly.

I found Kido on a business trip and brought it home with me. It has been a long time since I tasted it, but it has a refreshing acidity and a beautiful lychee-like sweetness. It has a beautiful lychee-like sweetness, which is quite good for the price.

Following the original last time, this time we had a collaborative version with Eiheiji Hakuryu. It is made with FK801C, a yeast developed by Fukui Prefecture, and has a light apple-like sourness and sweetness with a gorgeous aroma that lingers on the palate. As the label states on the back, this is "an unusual combination" for Shirafuji's sake. This is delicious. The new "Okunoto's Shirakiku" was delicious.

Shirafuji Brewery was severely damaged by the Noto Peninsula earthquake. This is an "original recipe reproduction sake" of "Okunotono Shirakiku" brewed in Eiheiji, Fukui, using Yamadanishiki and Gohyakumangoku that were stored in the brewery in Wajima at the time of the earthquake. With the cooperation of Yoshida Shuzo, the original version and the collaboration version are sold as a set. This is its "original version. The soft acidity, refreshing sweetness, and rice flavor are well balanced in the mouth, and you will say, "Okunoto Shirakiku is delicious after all! In this way, we are very much looking forward to the collaboration sake of Hakuryu and Shirakiku that lies in the refrigerator.

A pleasant popping sound when the bottle is opened. The gasiness of the wine is so strong that fine bubbles form on the inside of the glass. The sake has a refreshing sweetness with a strong umami flavor, and as the label says, a gorgeous tropical fruit-like aroma escapes through the nose. I was able to enjoy a delicious summer sake, and on TV, Okamoto of the Giants scored four runs to win the game. Well, it's a good night.

I often eat azuki bars in winter, but this is the first time I have had Imuraya's sake. It is 100% Yamada-Nishiki Jun Dai. It was shipped in February, and it has a fine gasiness and a mild banana-like sweetness. It also has a vanilla-like aroma and a moderate acidity. It is a strong sake, so if you drink it by itself, you may get a little tired of drinking it. We enjoyed it with cold tofu and nozawana greens, neutralizing it with saltiness.

Sake from Hayashi Sake Brewery in Toyama. We have many opportunities to seek out the familiar "Hayashi" in a bottle, but we received this commemorative sake when it was released. The brewery has won the Kanazawa Regional Taxation Bureau's Honor Award for 10 consecutive years, and this is this year's "Honor Award-winning sake. With a rice polishing ratio of 35%, this sake is beyond the level of the sake I usually drink. It has a soft mouthfeel with a hint of thickening in the mouth. As it is an aruze sake, the aroma is well down to the sake, and a fruity sweet aroma like pears softly escapes from the nose. There is no bitterness, and a refreshing acidity finishes it off. At this level, it is more of a stand-alone wine to be savored as "delicious" than to be paired with something else. We hope many "Hayashi fans" will enjoy this sake.

The "Brewing Noto" series by Kazuma Shuzo, which was damaged by the Noto Peninsula earthquake. After Akabu Shuzo and Shinshu Kamerei Okazaki Shuzo, this time we have Kurumata Shuzo ver. This is a special junmai brewed with "Hyakumangoku no Shiro," a rice developed by Ishikawa Prefecture for sake brewing. It is more refreshing than Tengu Mai's Hyakumangoku No Shiro and has a little acidity. It has a nice flavor that complements the food it is paired with. Other breweries are also working on sake brewing in various ways. We will support them by drinking well.

Gohyakumangoku" is a rice from Okunoto grown by contract farmers of Kazuma Sake Brewery, which was damaged by the Noto Peninsula earthquake. Okazaki Sake Brewery of Kamerei, Shinshu, accepted the rice and brewed "Takeba" from Nagano. Gohyakumangoku from Okunoto is a slightly smaller, firmer sake rice. It has an image of being a clean sake, but in the hands of the Okazaki Sake Brewery, a deliciously sweet sake with a subtle gaseous taste is born. I am sure that even Kazuma-san would be surprised at how good it is. I want to repeat the experience.

Sake breweries from all over Japan are lending a helping hand to the sake breweries in Okunoto that were affected by the Noto Peninsula earthquake. This sake is also a collaboration between Akabu-san and Kazuma-san. It is a pure rice sake made from 100% rice grown in Noto called "Yumemizuho. Although it is made from rice, it is not so heavy, and has a nice soft sweetness and moderate bitterness typical of Akabu. I hope that this association with such a popular brewery will allow us to absorb many things and move forward, step by step, toward the revival of the brewery.

We have pineapple juice. I was so excited that I bought a bottle. It has a delicious balance of sourness and sweetness with a subtle gasiness that you can feel when you roll it around in your mouth. If it were called pineapple juice, it would be, but it has a sweetness and flavor that is not as simple as that. Since it is a Kochi sake, we enjoyed it with bonito tataki.

It is a fresh summer sake. Looking at the history, I was attracted to it and drank it last year. As the fresh and summery label suggests, it is a juicy sake with fine gas, clear sweetness like white grapes, bitterness like grapefruit, and full of fruitiness. It can be drunk by itself in large quantities. I'm soaking up the nice pitching and fielding of Iori Yamazaki with a side of vinegared food.

Kombu-maki Kamaboko (kelp wrapped kamaboko) and Gassu Shrimp Sashimi were served for dinner, so this sake from the refrigerator. It is the stable Miyazumi. It is always sold alongside 寫楽, so I am always torn between the two, but this time I went with this one. While you can feel a subtle gas on the tip of the tongue, the taste is full of umami, moderate acidity, and bitterness. It was a perfect match for the Gusu Shrimp Sashimi and was delicious.

Banshu Issen, which makes me want to buy it whenever I see it. The fine gaseous sensation created by the gravity system of the new brewery is irresistible, as well as the fine Yamadanishiki rice polished to perfection. This Natsu-shin also has a fine gaseous sensation in the mouth, and a subtle sweetness and umami of rice in a clean taste. It is free of any cloying taste. The alcohol content is 14%, so it has a very light taste. It was quite a good combination when paired with sea bream sashimi. It is also good with carpaccio. This is a classic summer sake, "Ito, seiyashi".

Middle of GW. Work is going on as per the calendar. Hayashi's Gohyakumangoku is now available, and I am enjoying it while having a hard time handling a bottle. It has a slight color. The first touch on the tongue is gentle and fluffy. Gradually, the sweetness rises. It is full of umami, followed by sourness and a bit of bitterness, which gradually fades away. Perhaps because it is at room temperature, it is sweeter than usual, but it is a delicious sake with a firm body of sweet and umami. We enjoyed it with roast beef.

This is the first GW sake. When the bottle is opened, the gas escapes with a pop, but it is not so noticeable on the palate. The mild sake quality is typical of Hirotogawa, and the bitterness of Omachi is nowhere to be found. You can enjoy the long, sweet and delicious aftertaste. As one would expect from Hirotogawa. It is easy to drink it while watching TV. I enjoyed it with Iburi gakko cream cheese.

I bought it because I was curious about the unusual sake rice used. It was from the Sake Rice Exploration Series "for the study of brewing techniques. When I opened the bottle, the stopper popped vigorously. It has a lot of gas, but it also has a strong sweetness. Was the rice a little too much dissolved? The alcohol content is 16 degrees, which is a bit strong. If you are used to drinking Kinka or Tsubasa, you may feel that it is too strong. We enjoyed it with bamboo shoots.

I bought a bottle of "Chogin" at the Spring New Sake Festival and bought it as a souvenir. It is a jun-dai sake priced under 2,000 yen, but it has a very elegant mouthfeel and is a sweet-tasting sake. There is almost no acidity or astringency, with a hint of bitterness and a lingering aftertaste that slowly fades away. The bottle has a chunky shape and a charming label. It has a nice feeling.

The cherry blossoms have begun to bloom, and it is an exciting time of year. The streets were crowded with people viewing the cherry blossoms at night, but I quickly went home and opened a bottle of Kurazakura from the vegetable room. When I sipped it, there was no gaseous sensation. The first thing that comes out of my mouth is, "Ah, it's a gentle sake. It has a ginjo aroma like white peaches and mild acidity. The underlying rice flavor is also present, but the taste is light. It has a slight sweetness and flavor, and the alcohol content of 14% is also a nice touch. It is a sake that can be enjoyed on its own. We enjoyed it with sashimi.

Tokyo has already declared the blooming of cherry blossoms. News of the cherry blossoms made me want some hanami sake. This is Senkori's "Sakura," a light nigori unfiltered unpasteurized sake. It has a strong gaseous taste, acidity, sweetness, and bitterness. We enjoyed it with sea urchin tofu.
