Posted although not strictly speaking sake. It is a lemon liqueur made with Kinryo brewing alcohol. Start with soda. It is not the usual soft drink lemon flavor of fruit juice and sweetener, but has a good taste and aroma of real lemon, and the alcohol content is low at 8%, so it is just like "lemonade" and you can enjoy it with a gulp.

Genzai, which is also being talked about as the next "Tobiroki". From the moment it is opened, the sound of sake is alive, which sake lovers will understand. From the mouthfeel, a pleasant sweetness runs through the mouth at once. It is indeed similar to the lineage of Tobiroki and Hirotogawa, but I imagine it to be a little sweeter than them. It is good enough now, but it is likely to be further refined in the future, and we can look forward to its future development.

Finally obtained a bottle of Natsu-no-shippu, a well-known summer sake. From the aroma, it has a pleasant rice sweetness. The palate is fresh and gently sweet, and it disappears crisply in the mouth while remaining light and refreshing. I was surprised by its lightness, which I would not have expected from a junmai ginjo. It is good as a summer sake as it is, but it might be good to let it sit for a while.

The brewery's limited-edition mansaku, purchased at Hinomaru Brewery in May, is served in a tamanzaku boinokuchi, also purchased at the brewery. Although the label says that the aroma should be kept to a minimum, the aroma has a moderate sweetness of rice. The aroma is certainly subdued on the palate, but the moderate acidity and clean taste keeps the drinker from getting tired of drinking it. It also goes well with the side dish of boiled bracken.

Nichinichi Yamadanishiki Junmai Sake (4th brewing period). Low alcohol content of 11 degrees. When opened, it has a fizzy sound like champagne. The aroma is slightly banana, and from the palate it tastes like a light white wine, light and slightly sour like water.

It is light and refreshing on the palate, but not at all dull in the way that is typical of nama sake. It was my first time to try Ice Breaker, and it was a perfect summer sake, so I was right to buy it.

I bought a bottle of Hachisen summer ginjo last year, which I fell in love with at first sight. I immediately heard a nice bubbling sound when I opened the bottle. The lightness characteristic of summer ginjo from the first sip is perfect for the early summer weather. It is light but sweet, and the alcohol content is only 13%, so you can drink it in gulps, which is dangerous in a sense. It was a good decision to buy it again this year.

I had a chance to visit Akita on business, so I bought this Yuki no Bijin, which is only available in Akita Prefecture, at a local liquor store. It has a nice sourness from the malted rice on the palate, followed by a sweetness. It is a bit like a Yonotori, a kind of Shinmasa. At first I was surprised, but once I got used to it, this moderate sourness and sweetness became pleasant and addictive. I may be offended, but I recommend it because it is easier to find and cheaper than Yonotori, but has the same quality. I would buy it again.

Just the other day, I happened to have a chance to visit Hinomaru Brewery, the brewer of Manzaku, and purchased this freshly pressed, unpasteurized sake, which is available only when the brewery is open to the public. I was looking forward to drinking it, and now it was time to enjoy it. From the aroma, I could taste the elegant sweetness of rice. The sweetness rushes through the mouth and nose and disappears in the aftertaste. It was a great decision to buy it. The taste is on par with Mansaku's super limited edition. Postscript: I made the painful mistake of forgetting to buy the manzaku boar cup at Hinomaru, so I took a picture of it at a later date and added it to the photo.

I had to go to Akita, so I bought a total of four bottles of sake at a sake shop and a brewery. Today I enjoyed the first of them, Haruka "Misato Sake Rice Research Association", which is only available in Akita Prefecture. The sake cup was also purchased from Hinomaru Brewery. The moment I opened the bottle, I heard a bubbling sound. The aroma has a slight sourness and a hint of malted rice. The mouthfeel is pleasant, with a slight wine-like acidity and a slight fizziness, followed by a rich sweet aroma of rice that runs from the mouth to the nose at once. This sake is a hybrid of classic and modern styles.

This is the drink I had at that Eiraku Restaurant. It was too late to take a proper picture. It has a nice acidity from the aroma of koji, which is typical of Shinmasa. It was the best ending to Eiraku and we were happy to receive the greeting from the proprietress at the end of the meal.

This is the drink I had at that Eiraku Restaurant. It was too late in the day to take a proper picture. It has a strong mouthfeel similar to junmai ginjo, but the aromatic quality leaves a nice aftertaste, and the sharpness is not bad.

This is the drink I had at that Eiraku Restaurant. It was too late to take a proper picture. It is a good "dry" sake. It has a sharpness that goes well with fish, and is good for the last half of a nightcap.

This is the drink I had at that Eiraku Restaurant. It was late so I couldn't take a proper picture. It has a nice acidity and a slight carbonation. It is the most expensive sake in Eiraku, and the cost is not good, but it is good. It has a nice white wine-like acidity.
