I rarely have a chance to drink outside, but today the restaurant was full of excellent sake, so I had a bottle of Jyushidai Honjozo that was still left.
This is for Mr. Manjin.
Too perfect to comment.

I never thought we would meet again in this way.
Hardcore before comfort.
There is no room to say anything about the taste, but it seems to be a departure from the recent tendency to praise acidity.

Second drink at a restaurant specializing in shellfish.
The balance is a little less sweet and a little more sour, which may or may not be to the omatist's taste.
It is the type of food wine that does not interfere with delicate flavors of food.

At a restaurant specializing in shellfish, we had it with shellfish sashimi.
It is an all-rounder with a perfect balance of acidity and sweetness. It has a strong, refreshing taste and is easy to drink.
The label is honest, but the contents are also honest.
Suitable for everyone.

自然酒生酛 しぼり生 酵母無添加（蔵つき酵母）
うえぽん
Ichi no dashi zenshu at the liquor store closest to my house (3 minute walk).
It was featured in a special feature on sake in dancyu, and I had to try it.
It is made from 100% natural rice with no added yeast.
Nothing to say about it!
Moderate acidity and fizziness. Freshness. A drink that is said to be "natural" and is very satisfying. A treat!

Gangi純米吟醸無濾過生原酒
うえぽん
This is the third installment from the very popular corner shop.
It has an unfiltered 17° atmosphere, and the aroma is a little firm, but in the mouth it is soft and thick, with a little acidity and a clean aftertaste.
It is not a sweet, sour, fruity sake, but a refreshing sake with a slightly mature taste.

We had dinner at a long-established soba noodle restaurant in Shibamata with Aichi Prefecture officials.
Nenohi has a rather strong image, but this one is refreshing and has a modern taste.
Morita has done a good job.

Hiraizumi山廃純米 マルヒno77
うえぽん
This is the second from the series of super-important corner purchases.
It is made with a multi-acidic yeast and has a high malic acid content, which gives it an impressive sake quality that shatters the image of traditional sake."
The feeling of drinking this sake is pleasant, with a slightly yogurt-like acidity, a bit different from the citrusy fruity taste that is popular these days.
Sounds good to me!

Purchased at a super-imadori corner shop (also featured in the latest issue of dancyu). I had always thought of Shizuoka as Isozumo, but it makes sense that this is also a popular brand.
In a wine glass, the initial nose is light and elegant. In the mouth, the soft acidity and clear, subtle sweetness are very pleasant.
It is OK as a sake alone, but I think it is just right to be paired with delicate Japanese food.

The highest priced sake I received today. But it was in the 700 yen range lol.
A beautiful sake with the perfect combination of sweetness and acidity with a clean, crisp taste that is typical of Fukushima sake.
It had a wonderful finish.

Served with grilled sea bream kama.
The sake is easy to drink and is very smooth to drink.
It is not assertive, but I felt that it is a relatively delicate sake that can be easily matched with anything.

It was my first visit to this popular izakaya (drinks and food basically flat 430 yen), and I ordered it because it was on the menu at the beginning and I wanted to visit the warehouse.
It is a regular sake, but very smooth and pleasant to drink. It is soft and slightly sweet, and goes well with potato salad and dashimaki tamago (rolled egg).

At a trendy neighborhood tavern.
It never misses, never betrays. It was surprisingly perfect with the strong tasting buri daikon.
There is nothing special to say, but the moderate acidity gives the illusion that you can drink as much as you want.

At a super-immediate corner bar, we have our first brand.
It is unfiltered and slightly high in alcohol content, but has a clean and soft attack, followed by a pleasant level of acidity and a hint of sweetness.
I paired it with fried chicken, but it went surprisingly well with it.

Funaki純米吟醸 無濾過生原酒 神力使用
うえぽん
Obtained at a Fukui Prefecture product exhibition at a department store. It is a brand name of the Funaki Sake Brewery in Kitanosho. It is described as "a sake for connoisseurs, with a rich and deep rice flavor.
It has little of the fruity flavor that is so popular nowadays, but it has a pleasantly robust quality made from Fukui's Shinriki rice.
It seems to be a good sake when you are thinking that it is time for something more than just a gentle sake. It is a good choice for those times when you want something more than just a gentle sake.

At a corner shop in Yanesen.
I don't drink a lot of Kochi sake, but this is a good looking sake with no cloying taste, but manly and firm. A bit of citrusy aroma with a sour and not too sweet feel.
This would be perfect as a food sake when paired with thickly seasoned simmered dishes or tsukudani.

At a famous conger eel sushi restaurant in Yanesen.
The owner said, "We serve it cold," which of course I did.
It was a perfect sake for the sweet conger eel, with a touch of fresh acidity.

A forest of winds that lines the neighborhood supermarket.
I had a bottle of Nara Prefecture's limited edition sake rice dewy leaf wind, which I had never had before.
The perfect balance of umami, acidity, and carbonation is typical of Kaze no Mori, but the acidity is a bit dominant.
This kind of sake makes other sake seem somewhat old-fashioned.

On an extremely cold day, a bottle of Sakura Masamune, a hot sake related to my alma mater, is served at Tokyo's oldest izakaya (Japanese-style pub). The slip of paper only says "Sakura" on it.
It's been a while since I've had heated sake, but it's actually a good sake with a refreshing yet tasty flavor that goes well with stewed dishes.
It's good to follow the latest trends, or to indulge in tradition.

This is the standard sake in Shichiken.
However, it has a dry, light taste with a considerable umami flavor, as it is said to be "a surprise and an impression of the highest level by mastering the manufacturing process.
It is a junmai sake that is good for everyday use.
