Even with a 70% rice polishing ratio, it is a beautiful sake. Assuming a reasonable body, we served it with cold yellowtail and salmon sashimi. The slightly sweet aroma and sharp acidity played off the fat of the yellowtail and salmon. It is a marriage beyond the level of pairing. The synergistic effect increases the deliciousness of the wine.

It's a seasonal draft sake. When poured into a glass, even as a cold sake, it has a sweet, capueti-style top-fragrance. In the mouth, a refreshing gasiness and strawberry-like sweetness spreads quickly, followed by the umami of rice, and finally sourness and bitterness gradually appear. After finishing the bottle, the next one, and the next one, and the next one, and the next one, and so on. This is delicious. I opened the bottle earlier today while watching soccer, but that was a little too soon. While watching TV, I was saying, "Mmmm, it's good!" and was humming along with Miyagawa from Aozora Restaurant.

I had secured this Honjozo from Shirafuji for hot sake in the winter. When I saw the "manufactured in December of the 5th year" mark, I was filled with a sense of pride. I will take this bottle with great care. The damage to the building was terrible, but everyone at the brewery seems to be safe and sound. It is not something I can put into words lightly, but if possible, I will continue to pray and wait for the revival of "Okunoto's Shirakiku" with its gentle and soft flavor.

No gassiness. Moderate sweetness and umami. The sharpness and clean bitterness make it a refreshing sake. It was the best match for thickly fried bonito flakes with soy sauce.

In the mouth, a slight feeling of gas is felt at first, but soon a fruity sweetness and aroma of the Sacuiso type are felt. Rice flavor, acidity, a sense of alcohol and a light bitterness also spread across the palate. The initial mouthfeel gives the impression of a light sake, but it is a calm sake with a strong flavor. I like the light bitterness derived from Gohyakumangoku. A nice accent is also inherited in Hyogo Kitanishiki.

This is a standard sake from Okunoto and Sogen. Since it has a high alcohol content, we mixed it with Wilkinson's and enjoyed its strawberry-like aroma and the sweetness of Mochi 4-dan. The aftershocks are still continuing in Okunoto. We are worried.

It is as fresh and juicy as its reputation as pineapple juice. It is deliciously sweet with a light gassy sensation. You can drink it by itself without hesitation. We enjoy it with a la carte snacks such as Iburi Goko cream cheese and Mentaiko (cod roe).

I see that some of you have already uploaded the same brand. I guess this is the one I would drink while watching Kohaku. The label is sparkling and beautiful. It looks good on the table on New Year's Eve, which is a bit more luxurious than usual. Haneya's light, fruity and slightly sweet. It is not watery, but has a sour and umami taste, and the ama-juwa aftertaste is also delicious. Sip it while enjoying the vinegared octopus. Will it last until Ado? I think I'm going to have another bottle by the end of the day.

This is a classic sake that I like to drink at this time of year. Last year it was released at the beginning of the new year, but this year it was released in time for the end of the year. Now it's time to open the bottle. Stick an ice pick into the stopper to release the gas. Since it is quite healthy this year, I moved it to the bathroom just to be sure. After checking the stirring inside the bottle, I served it. The graininess is more subdued than before, but the sweetness and umami with the texture of sake rice on the tongue. Moderate bitterness. We enjoyed it with the sake rice grains clinging to the inside of the glass.

It is served lukewarm in the cold season. We had it at about the same temperature as human skin. It has a slightly strong acidity, but it has a refreshing taste with no peculiarities. It is a little different from Tengumai and Kikuhime, which are also breweries in Hakusan City. I would like to see a little more flavor in a sake that is drunk at room temperature or hot. It's a bit like Yoshida Sake Brewery, where the "sweet, juicy, and low-alcohol" line is well established. It's an easy-drinking sake that goes down smoothly, so I'm sure it won't last until the end of the year.

Finally Friday. Hirotogawa Junmai Nigori Nama Sake was sitting in the fridge waiting to be served. The bottle was opened quietly as the bottle opener warned. Ori (oriki) bubbles are rising from the bottom of the bottle along with the bubbles. Today, it is served in a different glass. It has a tight gaseous feel. It has a sweet and bitter taste that is typical of nigori sake. Today, we paired nigori sake with cod roe sashimi, just like in winter, and it was delicious. Ahhh, delicious!

First house-drinking snowman. Welcome to my house. When you turn the cap, you can feel the oli rising from the bottom of the bottle. I looked at the bottle until the sizzling subsided, carefully poured it into a glass, and sipped it. The freshness of the bottle is great right after it has been sealed. I enjoy it with nozawana (a kind of vegetable) and sip it crisp and clear.

It's the season for new sake, and it's a fun time of year. Yoshida Sake Brewery's specialty is 100% "Ishikawamon". As the label says, it is a fresh new sake. It has a clear sweetness with a sense of fermentation-derived gas and a refreshing capechi type of sweetness that bubbles up in the glass as well. There is also a light bitterness at the end that is typical of Ishikawamon. We have enjoyed it since Monday with cheap "crab cakes" and "Iburi Gakko cream cheese" as entrées. I am sure I will drink it all by the end of the day.

I didn't know they made Omachi in Toyama Prefecture, too. I opened the bottle gently, paying attention to the warning that the cork would "pop violently," but it was only a whiff. In the mouth, there is a moderate gassiness, but it is a pleasant feeling typical of Haneya. It has the acidity and umami that is typical of Omachi, but also has the lightness and slightly sweet drinkability of Haneya, making it a delicious finish. It seems to go well with just about anything, and since it is delicious on its own, it is likely to run out quickly.

Isshaku-Suisei's Sasanigori is reasonably priced at 1,540 yen. When the bottle is opened, the gas is released. When poured into a glass, it is slightly cloudy. In the mouth, there is a fine gasiness. It has a slight sweetness of white peaches and white grapes, followed immediately by sourness and bitterness, and then it quickly quenches. It is a bit hard to keep drinking this by itself. Since it is an Akita sake, we enjoyed it with Iburi Gakko cream cheese.

This is the last bottle of Ura Koshi at the liquor store. As the rice on the label says, it is fruity, clean, sweet, and freshly gassy. It is a fresh and juicy delicious sake that you can drink all the time. We enjoyed it with flatfish and yellowtail sashimi.

It has been a long time since I have tasted Miyazumi. The sweetness of the fruity and refreshing in the mouth spreads quickly. It has a strong rice flavor than Kouraku. The acidity comes in the back of the mouth, and it will be sharp. It has a thicker rice juice as a sake. The sweetness of the sake is best when it is poured into a glass and allowed to sweat a little afterwards. I wonder if this is where it will get to during the shortage of products before the new sake season. I had it last November.

Cute label before Halloween. Jungin by Raifuku, Aifune No. 206. This sake rice is also called Hyogo Omachi. It is said to be a sibling of Aizan's mother. It is quite a rare rice. In the mouth, there is no sense of gas. It has a delicate sweetness, refreshing acidity, and juiciness, with a strong aftertaste of rice flavor. It is a delicious sake that leaves a delicious feeling in the mouth for a while.
