Cute label in the shape of rice. It is a junmai sake with a rice polishing ratio of 70%. In the mouth, it has a vinegared banana aroma, light acidity, rice flavor, and sweetness. The finish is clean and crisp. The taste is very good for this rice polishing ratio. It is a delicious sake with good cost performance.

This is the first "Kame no Kai". The brewery is located in Nagano, and this sake is said to be a fast-brewed* fire-brewed sake brewed with "Hitogokochi," Nagano's preferred rice for sake brewing. The hiyaoroshi bottle #4 was out of stock, so we bought this one. In the mouth, there is no sense of gas, but it has a cupped apple flavor, a refreshing acidity, and a delicious rice flavor. As the description says, it has a solid body, but the slight sweetness in the aftertaste makes it easy to drink. It was a chance purchase, but a wonderful encounter. This was priced at 1,320 yen. The Tsuchiya Sake Brewery is a wonderful company. I want a sake refrigerator that can hold a bottle of sake.

It has a strong sake flavor from the top aroma. It is a junmai sake with a high alcohol content. It has a color, but in the mouth, it does not have that much sake-like taste, but is a solid sake with rice flavor and sweetness. It is a full-bodied, robust sake without bitterness or astringency. It goes very well with vinegared mackerel.

Drinking out today. It is a sake brewed with "Comet", Hokkaido's preferred rice for sake brewing. It has a light texture, a beautiful tongue feel, a hint of sweetness, and a fruity aroma that escapes through the nose, followed by a sour taste that finishes cleanly. It is delicious enough to drink by itself, but it goes well with a relaxed snack such as potato salad. It is delicious.

It's been a long weekend of drinking, but I still feel like having a drink at night. Tonight's drink was Dewazakura's Snow Goddess. It is junodai, but it is under 2,000 yen. As soon as you put it in your mouth, you immediately know that it is a "beautiful sake. It has an elegant top shelf aroma and a hint of cappuccinatory sweetness that escapes through the nose. There is almost no astringency, and the bitterness comes in at the end and it is quickly settled. It is easy to drink without any unpleasant taste. Personally, I would like to enhance the sweetness with a little gas. A little bit of Wilkin is also "delicious".

It is Purple Omachi from Isshaku Suisei. When poured into a glass, the sake is beautifully clear. When you put it in your mouth, you can feel a fine gaseous sensation on your tongue. When you think the sweetness is at the tip of your tongue, you will immediately feel the bitterness from the back of your tongue and the sourness from both sides of your tongue. It makes your taste buds work at full capacity. It also has a light, rather than mellow, mouthfeel, with a pleasant, fruity aroma that escapes through the nose. It was an Omachi sake in the Isshaku-Suisei style.

On the last day of the three-day weekend, we will be drinking a little early in the evening. We will have Izumo Fuji hiyaoroshi. It is a junmai sake with a rice polishing ratio of 70%. When poured into a glass, it has a slight color, but in the mouth it is a clear and refreshing sake. Some junmai sake can have a subtle grain aroma, but this is a beautiful sake with a moderate sweetness and just the right amount of umami. Today's entrée is chikuwa and nozawana, but it would also go well with wasabi and white fish sashimi. It is a cosy sake for a meal.

I regularly taste Matsuura-san's Lion's Village. I went to buy "hiya-oroshi" but was attracted to Matsuura-san's "akiagari" and bought it. In the mouth, a clear sweetness spreads quickly and there is no astringency. It has a slight bitterness and a 16% alcohol taste, and it is refreshing and clean. It has no peculiarities, so it is easy to drink. Since there is no acidity or astringency, it is good to add a little more Wilkinson to lower the alcohol content and give it a gassy feeling. Hanshin, I'm going to do something today. I hope they don't raise their arms in front of our Yomiuri Giants! I'm going to lose my kuikui~ while watching baseball.

This is a Houou Mita that I purchased on a business trip. It is a jun-dai brewed with sake mirai. The bottle was opened with a light pop. There is no gassy feeling, but it is fruity and has a good acidity. It is a sake with more umami than lightness. The perfect balance of acidity and a hint of sweetness is also nice. It is a sake that goes well with both sashimi and grilled dishes. This sake is under 2,000 yen. Those who can afford to buy it immediately. I envy them.

The days are still hot, but the season is autumn. It is the season of hiyaoroshi. Mutsu Hachisen's Midori label is ready to drink. It has been left to sit for one summer after being fired once, but when the bottle is opened, it makes a lively sound. When you take a sip, it has a strong sense of gas and a fruity melon aroma spreads in your mouth. After that, there is a sourness and a calm sweetness. It is a sake that you will never get tired of drinking. We enjoy it with iburi ginger and cream cheese at the beginning of drinking. It is so good that we are about to enter the World Cup basketball tournament. I have a feeling it probably won't last until half time.

Basketball World Cup. I'll be cheering for the team as I savor my sake. My accompaniment is Ikezuki from the Toriya Sake Brewery in Nakanotomachi. When poured into a glass, it has a color that is typical of rice juice. In the mouth, it is a classic sake with the flavor of rice and acidity. The cold tofu is finished early. I'll be cheering for it with a side of surume (dried squid). But it looks German!

Rice, water, and people. It is a junmai sake brewed entirely from Noto. It has a slight color. There is no sense of gas. In the mouth, there is a melon-like mild sweetness, rice flavor, and finally a strong acidity. It is not very distinctive when drunk on its own, but when tasted as a mid-meal drink, it is quite an interesting sake, as it does not interfere with food, and the umami and sweetness of the rice come out softly, while the acidity refreshes the palate.

It is a 100% Gohyakumangoku jungin by Miya Shuzo. When you put your nose close to the glass, you can feel the sweetness of the rice wafting softly. In the mouth, there is no gaseous sensation, but it is a classical type of sake with a volume of umami, sweetness, and acidity from the rice, and a bit of bitterness in the aftertaste. I prepared nozawana as a side dish, but it would be great with soba noodles.

Jungin Nama Sake" is a packaged sake. I heard from many people that it is delicious, and this is the first time I have purchased a packaged sake. In the mouth, you can taste a sourness that gives a sense of fine gas, and a refreshing sweetness like capueti type apples and grapes. Although it is junmai (pure rice), it is not heavy, and a moderate astringency comes in and it is crisp and clean. We served it with thick fried bean curd and tasuke, and it had a moderate alcohol content without interfering with the ingredients. At 1,800 yen for a bottle, this is the best food sake. In summer, I keep a peel in the refrigerator and a square bottle in the freezer, and this will always be sitting in the vegetable room. The only danger with packaged sake is that you never know how much you've drunk.

This is nigori sake from Shirakiku and Shirafuji in Okunoto. Shirafuji also produces a nigori sake in winter, which is described as "superb doburoku" (doburoku with a hint of spewing), but this nigori sake is more like ogara-mi. In the mouth, you can feel the fine gas, refreshing acidity, nigori flavor, and sweetness wafting softly into the mouth. There is neither alcohol nor bitterness, and it is easy to enjoy. With dried squid and tasuke as a side dish, the purification process was completed with this delicious summer sake. May we continue to enjoy delicious sake in the second half of the year. With my best wishes for the second half of the year.

Continuing with Sake Mirai. Today we have Matsuura-san's Lion's Village Sake Mirai. The screw cap is opened. The sake has a nice gara-mi (a hint of a hint of something else) as it pours into the glass. It has a freshness that is typical of Matsuura-san, with a strong sense of gas. It has a refreshing sweetness like honeydew melon, acidity, and a clear, light sake quality that is typical of Kanazawa yeast. We served it with chilled tofu as a side dish, but it would also go well with a more robust side dish. It is a delicious sake that can be enjoyed on its own.

We got some delicious-looking squid marinated in malted rice. Then, it must be sake, right? We ran out of sake in the refrigerator, so we rushed to the liquor store. I spotted it in a cold case and took it home with me. Sake Mirai by Isshaku Suisei. I opened a bottle of screw cap. The gasiness is subtle and slight. It has a green banana and melon-like sweetness, and after a pleasant bitterness at the back of the tongue, it finishes cleanly. It is a beautiful sake with a future sake quality. It is the best match for the koji-marinated squid served with the entrée. It also goes well with the pounded burdock that was served as a side dish for dinner. This sake goes well with everything. I would like to try many kinds of sake brewed by Sake Mirai.

Today is the first "Koshi". We will have summer nama. The bottle is opened with a screw cap. When you put it in your mouth, you will feel a refreshing gas feeling, and it is quite strong. The aroma of apples and soft sweetness spreads, but it is not only light, but also has the acidity typical of summer sake and the weight of 16% alcohol by volume, as the name "nama" implies. This is a dangerous one, as it is easy to drink. It is a dangerous one because it is so easy to drink. Today's entrée was sashimi of sea bass and pickled wasabi. It is so delicious that it blows away the dreary rainy season.

It is Jungin by Shinzawa-san using flat polished rice. Quiet opening. In the mouth, there is no gaseous sensation. As the brewer commented, "This is the ultimate food sake." First, there was a light sweetness of apple and lychee, followed by a mild and pleasant acidity that quickly spread across the palate, and finally a light bitterness at the back of the tongue, which then disappeared. We enjoyed it with tomatoes, cucumbers, avocados, and a variety of colorful vegetables.

This is Momangoku No Shiro by Fukumitsuya. This sake won the Gold Medal at the Kanazawa Regional Taxation Bureau's National Taxation Agency's National Competition. It is a delicious sake that combines the crispness and umami that is typical of Hyakumangoku No Shiro. Since it is a new sake rice, trial and error continues, but this is a delicious sake that we feel has reached its peak.
