2023年元旦からさけのわ再スタート。 長年の転勤生活で行った先のウイスキー、ワイン、そして何より日本酒にハマり、今に至る。 家飲みやカウンター居酒屋が中心ですが、ウィズコロナで気を付けながら、蔵開きや酒蔵ツーリズム、角打ち、呑み鉄、銭湯&湯上がり呑みなど、外で交流しながら日本酒を楽しみたい。

This was also at a neighborhood lunchtime drinking tavern. No, this is also delicious. Maybe it's because I haven't had sake in a while. The acidity is low and the umami is strong, but it is easy to drink. The waiter said that the Passion Series is hard to find.

It is served at a lunchtime drinking place in the neighborhood. Yikes, it's delicious. It has a sweet and sour taste that seems to be universally accepted by the sake lovers of today. It also has the straightforwardness of a draft sake.

Sake I got on a trip to Saga. The label looks like wine. It is a very refreshing sake with just the right amount of sweetness and acidity, with no unpleasant taste at all. I wish I could get this kind of sake all the time.

A collaboration sake to commemorate the new album of Foo Fighters, who will be visiting Fuji Rock in a week's time. I was impressed that there is a sake brewery that does this kind of thing. The label is a Kanji? The label is a kanji translation of the band's name. Overall, the sake is refreshing, but has a good balance of sweetness and acidity, making it perfect for the summer of music.

I recently started buying Houou Mita in one bottle after buying a glass bottle that fits in my refrigerator. It is a little sweet, but has a wonderful balance that can be enjoyed both during and after dinner.

Lunchtime drinking at an up-and-coming drinking establishment in Arakicho. This was on the recommended menu, and it made a lot of sense. The balance between the fizziness, the sweetness of the rice, and a slight sourness is wonderful. It was refreshing enough to compete with the thicker beef tofu.

Local sake given to me by a former colleague. It is a mellow jungin of a type that has a clear, yet easygoing profile. As it comes from the country of miso, it is a perfect match for Japanese food with a slightly strong flavor.

Kaku-uchi (corner drinking) at a long-established liquor store near a public bathhouse in Morishita. 400 yen for this is a bad deal. It is a refreshing, sweet and sour sake that has evolved into the current trend. You don't need any snacks. It is perfect for the hot and humid season.

One of a set of five bottles ordered from Kashima City, Saga Prefecture, which conducts sake brewery tourism. Kashima has many excellent sake breweries. This is another well-balanced sake with no complaints. It is a little sweet, but not lingering, with a bit of refreshing acidity mixed in for a perfect harmony.

The second natural gift. Even though Kagoshima Prefecture is said to have made it through the connections of Tokyo University of Agriculture (excuse me!) Excellent sake with great workmanship. It is a junmai ginjo with a fairly high balance of acidity, sweetness, and umami that leaves a sense of effervescence.

It is difficult to find sake from Miyazaki. This sake I got at an antenna store in Shinjuku. It has a strong, mellow aroma, but when you drink it, it is more refreshing than you might expect, and it is not heavy. It goes well with thickly simmered kinmedai.

Got it at Setouchi Shunsaikan in Shinbashi. Introduced by a junior colleague who has lived in Kagawa. It is a local sake made from 100% rice grown in the prefecture called "Oceto". It is a mellow sake with a strong rice flavor. I fried fried shrimp and wakasagi (freshwater smelt) by myself, and they were a good match.

I have lived in Fukui for four years, but this is my first encounter with this brand in Ono. It has the appearance of a sweet, refreshing sake, but it seems to be a sake made by Fukui people with a strong core. I paired it with chicken tempura, and it was quite good.

The next stop was at a neighborhood soba noodle shop with a wide selection of sake. Whenever I ask for satsuma-age (fried fish cake) at this restaurant, they force me to order a half portion. Well, it's okay because it's just right. It tastes like citrus juice with a little less sweetness, and you can hardly feel the alcohol content. Well, with this kind of sake, I tend to drink too much.

At a neighborhood soba restaurant with a perverse variety of sake. It is refreshing but slightly acidic, a little mellow, and goes well with the small shrimp tempura before soba. Now I have 4 prefectures left to complete, will I be able to conquer them by the end of GW?
