This is Mr. Nishide's Hyakumangoku No Shiro. Mr. Nishide's image is that of a sake with a strong acidity from a sake brewing process. This is a fast brewing and refreshing. It is a beautiful sake with no negative elements. We enjoyed it with firefly squid.

It is Hayashi's Ihyakumangoku, a regular winner of the Japan Wine Guide's "Superior Award". When you put it in your mouth, you feel it melt into your body. It has no habits and is simply delicious. Since it is sold in a bottle, it is difficult to drink at home. We enjoyed it with pickles.

This is Kikuhime's Tsurunosato R4BY Nama Sake. It is still young and has a strong acidity. It is a sake that will be matured to develop its umami flavor. We enjoyed it with nameko mushrooms.

Next was Tsuruno's Green Label. The image was of a slightly sweet, lightly cloudy sake, but it is a clear, clean, dry sake. It does not have a gaseous taste, and is a refreshing food sake to be enjoyed with aperitifs. It is a sake that you can enjoy with a plate of food with stray chopsticks.

It has been a long time since I have had a drink at a restaurant. It is Mr. Shirafuji's Hyakumangoku No Shiro Jungin. Shirafuji's Hyakumangoku No Shiro is a delicious sake with a strong umami flavor. It has a light, slightly sweet Hyakumangoku No Shiro flavor with a firm umami. We will enjoy several sakes today with exciting snacks.

Today, it's Tedorigawa. I bought it because it had a classical label for Yoshida's recent sake. There was a pleasant popping sound when I opened the bottle. In the mouth, there is a fresh gasiness, a firm umami, and acidity. The slight sweetness is pleasant. A light bitterness comes on the back end and it finishes quickly. The label states that the alcohol content is a solid 16%, but it is nice that it does not feel that way. We enjoyed it with kombu-maki kamaboko (kelp wrapped kamaboko), which we had not bought for a long time.

Today we have Shirafuji from Wajima and Shirakiku from Okunoto. The bottle was opened with the preconceived notion that it would be a dark sake since it is a special pure, unfiltered, raw Hachitan-Nishiki sake. There is no sense of gas. The flavor of Hachitan-Nishiki comes through in the mouth with gusto. As the label suggests, there is some bitterness, but the sweetness that spreads softly in the mouth at the back end is nice. The alcohol content is 17 degrees, which is very much like a "pure sake," so it tastes great with a little less alcohol in the Wilkinson. It is an excellent special pure sake made from 100% Hachitan-Nishiki. The entrée in the photo is seared thick fried bean curd, but it was a perfect match with the dried hokke (hokke) that was served later for dinner.

Good evening, Mr. SAMURAIZ🙇. I like Okunoto's Shirakiku, it has a very gentle sweetness that I can't describe 😆. I drank a 3 year old draft of this specs and the sweetness was still there and it was normally matured 😆.

I bought this sake around GW because the label had a pop color scheme for Kurumada and it caught my eye. It is a screw cap so there was no popping sensation, but it is a sake with a strong gaseous taste. When you put it in your mouth, you feel a shwash, and then immediately a banana sensation. It is soft and fluffy, but you can also feel the mellow feeling that is typical of Kurumata. Finally, the sourness and astringency come through, and the drink is cut off cleanly. We enjoyed a bottle with "Iburi gakko cream cheese" after a meal.

This is my first post in a while. Today, we have the Jungin "Ishigawamon" from Tedorigawa. At Yoshida Kurau, both "Hyakumangoku no Shiro", which is a clear and slightly sweet sake, and "Ishigamon", which is a deliciously sweet sake, are available, and both are enjoyed with a sense of gas. When the bottle is opened, the gas bursts out with a "pop. When you put your mouth close to the glass, you can smell the capsule aroma. When you put it in your mouth, you will feel a strong gas, followed by a thickened taste, which is exactly what the label describes when it says "pear. It is a pure sake, but the alcohol content is 15%. It is a delicious sake that you can't help but drink more and more of as you explore the flavors. We enjoyed it with chilled tofu and Donki's "Do Onipon".

This is my second AKABU, the first time was Junmai, this time Jungin. I opened the bottle with high expectations. There is no gassy feeling, but even though the sake is cold, it already has a fruity top note when poured into the glass. In the mouth, you can feel the refreshing sweetness of green apples and muscats, and the entire mouth is full of juicy sensations. After the throat hit, the palate is quickly quenched by a refreshing acidity and a subtle bitter aftertaste. This is the kind of drink you can't stop once you start. I drank it with chilled tofu and persimmon seeds marinated in oil. After all, a 4-ounce bottle runs out quickly.

Kagatobi Ai is a standard brew in Kanazawa. It has not been opened for a long time. When it is poured into a glass, you can feel a little color. Well, it is the color of rice. When you take a sip, it has more umami than sweetness. The label on the back says it is "light" but it is quite smooth, and the flavor is just as the label says, "full of umami". It is 100% Yamada-Nishiki Jun Dai, so it is certainly good, but it is also moderately priced. The acidity and bitterness are well controlled, and I feel that it must have been carefully produced. We enjoyed it with kelp fish cake.

This sake is made from the Nakamura Sake Brewery's Hyakumangoku No Shiro (sake rice produced in Ishikawa Prefecture). The name "Hyakumangoku No Shiro" seems to have been taken from the name of a new variety of sake rice "Ishikawa Sake No. 68" before the nickname was decided. There is no gaseous sensation in the mouth. It is jun-dai, but has a slightly languid sweetness. Sourness and astringency come out prominently, a little "? It is a bit "? It seems to have potential, so I added a little more Wilkinson to change the taste. The gassy freshness appeared, a hint of apple sweetness appeared, the acidity and astringency disappeared, and finally the bitterness came in and the taste was clean and crisp. The original alcohol may have had its own potential, but Wilkinson is a formidable brewer. I only added a little bit more. I'm enjoying it with wasabi natto as a snack while waiting for my dinner.

I had been saving this Kido to drink slowly over the weekend. I had been drinking 300ml bottles every day, but today I used a No. 4 bottle without any stress. I opened the bottle. There is no gaseous sensation. It has a refreshing sweetness of apple and La France. It turns sour and umami, and after the thickness of the sake is felt, it quickly finishes. This is also a beautiful sake with no bitterness in the aftertaste. It is lighter than jun Dai, but more umami than junmai. Since it was supposed to be a refreshing sake, I prepared sasakama (fish cake) as a side dish. We sprayed the kombu soy sauce on the fish paste with a mist, and then we had Kido, Sasakama, Kido, Sasakama. The Giants are down a run, but the sake is delicious. Hiroshima's starter is Osera. It might be tough today. (P.S.) Beedie got a timely comeback after I commented negatively about the game. Good Zo, today is going to be a good sake for the weekend.

Sake Chronicles of Ishikawa: The 3rd bottle "Tedorigawa" will be served. It is a daiginjo with al-soze. The aluzoe version of Yoshida's sake has a more refreshing aroma. In the mouth, there is a fine gasiness and a refreshing sweetness of apple and lychee, followed by sourness and bitterness of alcohol, and it finishes cleanly. It is delicious even when drunk on its own. Since Yoshida-san's sake has a refreshing quality, we prepared "Tofu Tempura from Kyoto" as a side dish in advance. Tofu-ten with a broth (like thick Akashiyaki) and a refreshing daiginjo. It was a delicious time and a perfect match, but since it was a 300 ml bottle, we had to end our evening drinking early again!

Sake Chronicles of Ishikawa The second bottle of the first bottling, Kagatsuru by Yachiya. It is a junmai ginjo made from 100% Hyakumangoku No Shiro, Ishikawa's promising sake rice. It has a peachy hint of sweetness and dark umami and acidity. The alcohol and bitterness come in at the end, and it finishes clean and crisp. Today's entrée is shime saba (mackerel). When the sourness of the shime saba (mackerel) lingers in the mouth, the sake is paired with it, and the sweetness and umami of the rice is quickly brought out, followed by a refreshing finish. This is "delicious! Sushi and sake go well together, don't they? It was also a perfect match for our vinegared food, shime saba (vinegared mackerel). Unfortunately, it is a unified bottle of 300 ml, so it will be finished soon.

This is the first time I have had a natural hometown, and I will take it. In the mouth, it is fresh with a fine gasiness. It has a strong banana-like sweetness, but it is also light with a beautiful acidity that is not unpleasant. A little bitterness of alcohol taste comes at the end, but the sweet and gorgeous aroma remains in the mouth all the way through, so it softly passes through the nose and has a nice lingering taste. It's a delicious one that you can drink endlessly with a little bit of saltiness of nozawana in your mouth.

Sake Chronicles of the Association Event. This is "Hatsu Shibori" in a 300ml unified bottle. We start with Tengu Mai. The rice used for this sake is 100% Hyakumangoku No Shiro, and it has a refreshing taste. The acidity is a bit strong, but as we sipped it with some cod roe as a side dish, the ginjo aroma and the sweetness and umami of the rice spread in the mouth in a good way, and the acidity finishes it off nicely. It is the kind of sake that one would drink too much of with a side dish, but unfortunately, it is a drinkable size, so we had to finish it at 300ml.

This junmai sake is made from 100% Okunoto rice, Ishikawa-mon. Since it is a pure sake, the alcohol content is a little high at 18%. The sweetness of the rice in the mouth... Hmm, Noto classical sweetness? Maybe it is a sweet sauce? Sourness and bitterness also come out in the aftertaste moderately, but maybe a bit sweet. I lowered the alcohol content with Wilkinson and refreshed it with carbonation.

With the cherry blossom season just around the corner, we acquired a variety of new sakes and had a good time pondering which one to drink first. First, we started with the instrumental Masamune, which has a reputation for its cosiness. On the palate, one senses a fine gasiness and fresh acidity. Soon after, there was a fresh melon-like aroma, sweetness, and a variety of umami, followed by a bit of bitterness, and then it was over. This umami is a new sensation for me. The 60% milled rice ratio gives the sake a nice tangy flavor. It is delicious on its own, and can also be served as a mealtime sake as it finishes crisp and clean. It goes well with foods that have a gentle kelp flavor.
