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.

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.
