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。

We got it at a local supermarket that is increasingly focusing on sake. Well, it is very modern. The ginjo aroma is gorgeous, and the taste is sweet rather than sweet. I would like girls who don't like sake to try this.

A friend from Fukuoka commented to me that northern Kyushu is a cultural zone for Japanese sake, so I tried sake from Hirado in Nagasaki, an untapped area. It is made with 100% Yamada-Nishiki and 55% polished rice, and its soft and sweet taste somehow reminded me of Kyushu's sweet soy sauce and champon noodles. But it is a nice, light sake without being heavy.

Junmai Daiginjo by Ginga. It is the first time for us to drink this sake rice, but it has a very elegant ginjo aroma like peach, and the acidity and sweetness that is not too much spins an indescribably pleasant feeling. A bargain!

Order while having crab dishes. It was a brand I had never heard of before, but it was a good sake that did not at all destroy my impression that the level of Shiga sake is quite high. My first impression was that it was pleasantly sweet rather than fruity. The atmosphere of thick and dark sake. It was perfect with crab.

A local supermarket has recently put a lot of effort into its sake selection. This is also the first brewery in Kurume, but it is not bad. It is a gorgeous, slightly refreshing, sweet, moist sake that reminds one of the coming of spring. Perfect for cherry blossom viewing.

At Sanuki Udon restaurant in Yoyogi Uehara. It is interesting that cold sake is served in a glass at an udon restaurant. I don't know if this is a joke or a pun, but this restaurant also has champagnes such as Armand and Krug... The aroma is subdued, but the mouthfeel is very gentle. There is little acidity, but you can feel the full sweetness of the rice. It is easy to match with Japanese food that is not too rich in flavor, like the atmosphere of melting snow in Hokkaido.

Obtained at the reopened Fukui Shokunokuni 291 @ Ginza 1-chome. They have black dragon and white dragon. It was my first time. It is delicious. The brewer described it as "elegant fruity aroma, clean and dry, clear and fresh like melted snow. It is less mellow, and has a clean, sweet and sour fruity flavor that is very popular right now. Highly recommended!

We will have it at the newly reopened Fukui Prefecture's antenna store @ Ginza 1-chome. We dared to choose sake from Wakasa. It is dry, super refreshing, and has some acidity, but not much sweetness or ginjo aroma. It seems to have the strength to match the spiciness of grated grated radish with sauced pork cutlet and grated soba noodles.

The 2nd bottle of Niidashi Zenshu. The carbonation during fermentation is relatively mild, and the balance of acidity and sweetness is superb. It has a natural flavor of a type that can be drunk in large gulps.

There is a liquor store in my neighborhood that stocks a wide range of Niida's sake, so I tasted it and bought it immediately! I'm glad you have the same impression.

Kuroryu's Ginjo-shu. This is an excellent sake with low acidity and a strong sense of rice flavor and sweetness. I drink it with salted fish, but it may be a little too strong for my taste.

We will have it at a U-shaped izakaya in Kamata. The sake was featured in a special feature on sake in dancyu, and it can be rightly described as a modern sake with the best balance of sweetness, acidity, and umami without being too assertive, and at the best cost performance. I want to keep this one in stock at home.

The third drink of the drinking set. This one's good too! This junmai sake shows that it is not enough to polish the sake. I wish someone would tell me why. I've said it many times, it's delicious! (Maybe I'm just a little drunk.)

Second drink of the trial set for today only. Not half as fresh and slightly more carbonated. The alcohol is not strong and has a clean refreshing feel that is good with oily food.

A one-day event at the Omotesando Niigata-kan Nespace. At 600 yen for 3 cups, I did not expect what was inside, but I was betrayed in a good way. While there was a pleasant sweetness of the mellowed Gohyakumangoku, the high alcohol content of the unfiltered, unpasteurized sake came a little later.

Sake that is in the process of fermentation in the bottle. Sourness from the carbonation, sweetness and creaminess of rice. Surprisingly refreshing rather than robust. A good sake to drink in February.

It is recommended as a food sake because of its well-balanced aroma and taste. It is true that it has a slightly robust rice flavor. It is recommended to be served during a meal, including with something with a strong flavor, rather than on its own.

I got it at a liquor store I don't usually go to. The stylish label heightens my anticipation. The message from the master brewer was, "A drink that will create a stir. It starts off with a moderately effervescent sensation that is typical of nama-shu. It is a hard-edged Junmai Daiginjo without any unpleasant taste and mainly acidity from the bubbles. It is an Asian beauty with long, slender black hair. It goes better with modern international cuisine than traditional cuisine. It is very cool.

A colleague at work recommends this brand. What more can you ask for as a food sake? It's a very good level of sake. It is clean and has just the right amount of sweetness and acidity. It is an excellent sake that you will want to drink again.
