This time, it is San-Shoraku's Yamahai Junmai. This sake is made in Nanto City, Toyama Prefecture. The rice is also made from Yamadanishiki produced in Nanto. Like the previous Ariiso Akebono, this one was also served at a certain shopping center. I got it at a Hokuriku Sake Fair at a certain shopping center. It was obtained at a Hokuriku Sake Fair at a certain shopping center. First, at room temperature. The color is clear with a slight greenish tinge. The nose has aromas of ripe bananas, raisins, and burdock root. The mouthfeel is slightly thickened, and the flavor of rice with aromas of ripe bananas and raisins is thick, and the acidity from the Yamahai method is very effective. The dry taste is tightly tightened, and the lingering taste of astringency mixed with umami is pleasant. It sounds very mellow when written like this, but overall, it is an easy-drinking sake with a beautiful quality. And when it is heated up hot, When heated, it has a mellow, raisin-like sweetness that is also delicious. I think I prefer it warmed up first and then cooled down. ♨️ I've been wanting to drink San Shoraku slowly at home, A happy encounter 💕 It's still delicious 😊.

This time, it is a freshly squeezed raw sake from Ariiso Akebono. This sake is from Himi City, Toyama Prefecture. At a certain shopping mall Nemuchi-san invited us to a sake fair in a certain shopping mall. Nemuchi-san invited me to the fair, Nemuchi-san invited me to a Hokuriku Sake Fair at a certain shopping mall, and I tasted it first thing in the morning. I brought this bottle home with me. It is served cold. It is a gentle milky white orikami sake. The top aroma is refreshingly koji aroma with a hint of bitterness. The mouthfeel is slightly thickened, and fruity notes like apples and yellow peaches spread gorgeously. The taste then shifts to the sweetness of the koji, and the sweetness of the rice expands, and is refreshed by the bitterness of the aruga and ori. This sake is very easy to drink, but it is dangerous because it is 19 degrees Celsius. My partner is already getting crushed next to me😅. I think it would be best to pair it with Himi's cold yellowtail, but I'm not sure, This time, I got a nice daikon radish with leaves, so I tried to make gyoza with the daikon leaves. Daikon leaves, meat and plenty of ginger. It's a simple gyoza, but it was very good! Next time, I'll make yellowtail daikon.

This time it is naturally grown rice in Chokyu. This sake is from Kainan City, Wakayama Prefecture. This sake was created by an acquaintance of Mr. Takeda who grew naturally grown Yamada Nishiki in Minamiaso. It is served at room temperature. The top aroma is mild and mineral. The mild mouthfeel is followed by a gentle flow of rice flavor while the acidity spreads with a refreshing cider-like aroma. The aftertaste is moderately acidic with a slight afterimage of rice flavor and a mild finish. When served warmed, the acidity becomes more pronounced. The acidity is more pronounced, The rice flavor, which was a little hard at room temperature, is softened by the brothiness. We prefer it warmed up to hot and then cooled down. Mushrooms from a shiitake mushroom farm in Inagawa Town, Hyogo Prefecture. Only available at this time of the year The shiitake mushrooms are cultivated in the open air and are only available this time of year. The shiitake mushrooms are extra large and super thick. 🍄‍🟫 The moment we sprinkled salt on it and bit into it, the overflowing aroma of the shiitake mushrooms made us want to eat it. The aroma of the shiitake mushrooms is just irresistible! I couldn't get enough of it! I paired this with a glass of Green Chokyu no Kankan I paired it with a glass of Green Chokyuu. It's just the best 😆.

This time it is Hana Tachibana from Wakamusume. It is a sake from Yamaguchi Prefecture. I saw you all drinking it at Sake-no-wa and I had to try it someday! I had to drink it someday! This Hanabachibana is 50% Omachi and 50% Yamadanishiki, and they use "Omachi" and "Yamadanishiki" differently in each process. It is served cold. The color is clear with a slight yellow tinge and fine bubbles. The top aroma is of mild Japanese pear with citrus nuances such as orange and apricot. The fine bubbles give it a refreshing cider-like mouthfeel, and the juicy taste of Japanese pear gently swells and flows smoothly, with a mild bitterness and a smooth finish. The fourth day of imitating Pon-chan, The cider taste remains, but the citrus juiciness is increasing. The citrus juiciness increases and the overall flavor becomes more rounded. It is a very beautiful sake with a sense of harmony, a lightness that flows with purity, and a glossy juiciness. It is a sake that I like more than I imagined and I am very excited about it. ⤴︎ Tachibana is a citrus plant 🍊. The label is a good representation of the color of tachibana, Tachibana is beautifully expressed in sake. It was the perfect sake for a long autumn night 😊.

This time, it is Kouzumi cranes. A one-day company trip to Kozumi with my work colleagues who take care of me on weekdays. We had raw 🦀, boiled 🦀, grilled 🦀, 🦀 hot pot, and 🦀 rice porridge. I was still in fear that the crab feast might be a big surprise! I'm still on the edge of my seat. The boss asked me to select sake, so I ordered two kinds. I'm just going to make a note of the flavors. Yamahai Junmai Ginjo (pink) Mild fruity sweet and sour taste, followed by a calm rice flavor. I recommended it at the stage of eating raw crab to boiled crab at the beginning. It was popular among women and many bought it as a souvenir because it was delicious. ◯Namaishige Junmai (black) Sake with a gentle flavor of rice and acidity that flows smoothly. I recommended this sake when we started to eat grilled crab and crab casserole, but I think it would have been better to start with this one. It is a versatile sake. I had a hard time recommending it to people who rarely drink sake, but it was a good experience for me. Thank you to everyone who took me on the trip 🙏.

Another one this time. Watarifune. It is a sake from Fuchu Homare in Ishioka City, Ibaraki Prefecture, Mamio-san gave me this sake when he sent me a bottle of Ippou-self. I was so impressed with his thoughtfulness to give us a sake that we don't see in the Kansai region! I was so impressed by his thoughtfulness! I will drink it cold. The color is almost transparent. The aroma is mild and fresh with a hint of effervescence. The freshness on the palate with a slight effervescence. The refreshing cider-like aroma is followed by a calm melon-like sweet and sour taste, and a smooth, creamy rice flavor. The second half has a greenish flavor with a mild bitterness that refreshes the palate. The finish is crisp and clean with a mild ginjo aroma. The rice at the core of this sake is very good, and I can see why Mamio-san likes this sake so much 😊. An intense gift exchange in a week 🍶.

Autumn Dyed with Niigata Sake (7) This autumn, we are holding a campaign on our own initiative to dye ourselves in Niigata sake. This is the final installment. (7) Tsuru no Tomo Bessen This is the last one! This is the sake we got in Niigata. Actually, I promised to have a drink with Aladdin on the day I got it, and Aladdin gave me a present of Tsuru no Tomo as well. And it was the same one I bought at Niigata Kokome! We started our drinking session with two bottles of Tsuru no Tomo and a big smile on our faces. (For more details, please see Aladdin-san) I'm amazed at your insight, Aladdin-san 🙇. I think I'll bring one of them to the next offline meeting. 🤣 First at room temperature. Almost transparent color. Sweet banana, melon, and rice cake aroma with a green bamboo feel. The taste is light sweetness to creamy rich rice flavor that rides well on the tongue. It has a moderate bitterness and spiciness, and finishes with a lingering creamy umami. We prefer to warm it up to lukewarm. I like the fluffiness of the rice. Of course, it is also good at room temperature, It's a regular sake that can be drunk endlessly. And during the fair, I thought of all the things to go with Niigata sake, but I had to go with kaki-no-tane. It's a Niigata specialty that can be found anywhere in the country 😊.

Autumn Dyed with Niigata Sake (6) This autumn, we are holding a campaign on our own initiative to dye ourselves in Niigata sake. 6) Kimi no I Yamahai Junmai Ginjo This one was also purchased at the Niigata Sake no Jinjin in Abeno Harukas. It was the only sake I bought on my first visit. Tasting it, I found it to be my favorite💘. I was wondering whether I should buy the unfiltered nama sake or the standard hi-ire sake, and decided on the unfiltered nama sake because it is not often available: ☝️ I will have it cold. It has a light greenish flavor. The top aroma is mild raisins, rice cake, cypress, nuts, and cheese-like aroma. Mild mouthfeel. The juicy flavor with plenty of raisin aroma is followed by the sourness of Yamahai. The juicy sweetness of the rice is relaxed on the tongue, and the cheese-like lactic acidity stays there, while the bitter bitterness opens up from the raisins and finishes off the taste. It is different from the image of Niigata sake, I was completely captivated by this elegant Yamahai with a raisiny sweet and sour youthfulness. It is a rich mellow style with a sweet and sour taste, but it has a very beautiful aftertaste 😊. One more bottle and I will make it last. Now what will the last one be? Hey, Mr. Aladdin🤭.

The top aroma is gently sweet apple and green bamboo. The soft mouthfeel has an apple-like fruitiness with a smoky aroma. The soft umami of rice is silky and mingles with it. The aftertaste is crisp and clean with a sourness and bitterness that grows as it does. It tastes like a gentle Japanese white wine. It is a secret color that shows us a different aspect from the usual Ippou-self. A secret color that shows a different side to the usual Ippo Mi. I look forward to the next development 😊.

This time it is Tenmei no Nakadori Zero. "New sake starts from Tenmei." I have been saying so every year, and this year, too, I was anxiously awaiting the day when the "Zero" ban was lifted. I will drink it cold. It has a pale ao-sae color and sooty nigori. The top aroma is sweet koji aroma with green apple nuance. It has a mild mouthfeel. First, take a sip of the supernatant. The koji aroma lightly wafts into the nose, and the soft, juicy sweetness and apple-like acidity spread freshly. When the oli is mixed in, the bitterness increases and the acidity becomes sharp, and it seems to be too dry. I think it is better not to cool it down too much, so that the bitterness of the Oli and the original juiciness can be balanced and become a cohesive type of beer. I don't know 🤗. I'm looking forward to Tenmei no Zero, thinking how hard it is to decide on the date of the ban and make sake every year. I'm thankful that I was able to taste it again this year 🙏.

Another bottle this time. This is Kaygetsu Nigori. A Kaygetsu salesman came to the basement Japanese and Western-style sake department during the Niigata Sake Festival held at Abeno Harukas, and we tasted this bottle. It is served cold. It has a silky cloudy color. The nose has green apple, green melon, and pear nuances. Smooth on the palate, The aroma of green melon and pear gives it a refreshingly fruity taste, while the taste of lactic acid beverage with a moderate sweetness can be lightly sensed. The bitter taste of nigori gives it a refreshing aftertaste. It's delicious when well chilled. This sake is made with CEL24 yeast, It has the effect of nigori (bitterness). It is not too sweet and fruity, but has a dry impression. The ori is strained once, and the fine ori is added in a quantity that does not make it too heavy, making it easy to drink 👍. It was fun to compare different types of Kaygetsu 💕

Autumn Dyed with Niigata Sake (5) This autumn, we are holding a campaign on our own initiative to dye ourselves in Niigata sake. 5) Tatomo Junmai Ginjo This is also a sake that we brought back with us at the Niigata Sake Festival held at Abeno Harukas with the Echigo Touji. The rice used is Koshitanrei. It is served cold. The color is almost transparent. The initial aroma is sweet, with notes of ripe apples and cotton candy. It has a smooth mouthfeel. The juicy sweet and sour taste with a soft apple aroma is followed by the umami of the rice and a refreshing bitterness that gives the apple aroma and a firm finish. The taste is mildly juicy and conveys the soft and clear feeling of melted snow. I had tasted Tatomo in Niigata before and thought it was delicious, but it is still delicious. I was talking with the salesman about how it would be nice if the brands of Takanoi and Tatyu, which are sold in supermarkets wrapped in newspaper, could be a little more unified. It's the first day of winter, and the first wintry storm has blown in👺🌬️ Niigata Sake Fair is coming up soon!

Autumn Dyed with Niigata Sake (4) This autumn, we are holding a campaign on our own initiative to dye ourselves in Niigata sake. Echigo Toji Honjozo This sake was recommended by bouken, Nemuchi, and Sakélan advisors at the Niigata Sake Festival held at Abeno Harukas. It was recommended by all three as the No. 1 sake that I would drink at the event, so I went back to Abeno Harukas on the last day 🍶💨. The color is almost crystal. The top aroma is milky with a hint of caramel. The mouthfeel is light and smooth. The taste is a nostalgic sweetness and umami like fine milk caramel that flows gently and smoothly. When heated, the milk caramel flavor increases and the taste is refreshing. It has a classic flavor, It is a delicious sake with a light, milky sweetness and umami that is easy to drink, with a smoothness that reminds one of the softness of Niigata's melted snow water. After all, this is the kind of sake that you want to drink at the end of the day! The selection ability of the three heavyweight members of the group is superb 😊. The Niigata Sake Fair is still going on.

Autumn Dyed with Niigata Sake (3) This autumn, we are holding a campaign on our own initiative to dye ourselves in Niigata sake. 3) Kashiwa Dew Sake's Yoshinoya The campaign is to "Enjoy Yoshinoya sake at home" with that sake that goes well with beef dishes! The sake was opened on Halloween in Yoshinoya's colors. Yoshinoya first? Halloween first? The Yoshinoya website had instructions on how to drink it cold, so I drank it cold. The sake has a pale green color. The top aroma is of rice and green bamboo. The smooth mouthfeel is followed by a moist and soft rice flavor, with a hint of sweetness in the middle part of the taste. The finish is crisp and dry. We paired it with a sumptuous takeout of beef sukiyaki hot pot. The sake played the role of rice in the sweet and savory flavor of the beef, while also refreshing the palate. Beef is good, but I personally prefer the beef with the tofu and vegetables in the beef sukiyaki nabe broth. Above all, the feeling of easy luxury makes me happy💕. If you want to customize it, I also recommend heating sake. We'll warm it up even if you don't tell us. ♨️🍶

Good evening, Aladdin. I'm ready to warm up the sake. ♨️ Personally, I prefer heated sake because it blends with the beef oil and has a sharp bitter taste that makes it more sharp and sharp 😆 I'm just drinking it for some reason or another 😅.

This time it is a hiyaoroshi of Harunomine. It is a sake from Koka City, Shiga Prefecture. I had it at my part-time job a while ago. It is served at room temperature. The color of the sake is a pale yellow. The nose has a woody, nutty aroma with a rich aroma of rice. The mouthfeel is slightly thickened, and the rice flavor flows through the mouth with a light, tight acidity. The lingering aftertaste is pleasant, with just the right amount of bitterness and the rich rice flavor gently fading away. When heated, the rice flavor and acidity blend together to create a rich, chocolate-like flavor that is also delicious. Sake is a sake made from rice! You can feel it on your tongue. It is a good sake to enjoy with oden or other dishes for a leisurely evening drink. I think I'll roast some ginkgo nuts now that I'm feeling better. Harunomine's wife is a good calligrapher and runs a store selling handwritten T-shirts and other items. I ordered a birthday gift for her, and was thrilled to see the custom label and the wrapping, which is wrapped like a kimono with a cherry blossom handkerchief underneath in the photo 😆. I wanted to show you the sake-chan in kimono too, though I unwrapped it before taking the picture to see the label! Thank you, proprietress 💕

This time, it is Mio. I received Mio and a cooled mug as a retirement gift the other day, and since I was able to pass this year's Sakediploma, I opened the bottle with full of enthusiasm. I'm worried that I'm looking at the wrong number 💦. The aroma is sweet with a hint of rice. It has a juicy flavor with bubbles popping like a sparkling sake. The sweetness of the koji is mixed with apple-like sweet and sourness and carbonation, making it juicy yet refreshing, with a lingering yogurt-like aftertaste. It is a very easy-drinking sake with 5% alcohol while retaining the sake-like character. I am grateful to have met so many people through this examination, and I am also grateful to my family for all the trouble they have caused me. Let's celebrate this sake beginner's start and enjoy some shuwashu sake 😆🎉!

Autumn Dyed with Niigata Sake (2) This autumn, we are holding a campaign on our own initiative to dye ourselves in Niigata sake. 2) Fruitful Hokusho Sake from Murakami City in Shimoetsu. It is often seen at Yamaya with a special distributor label of Taiyozakari, Hokusho is a junmai ginjo brewed entirely in Niigata with Niigata yeast, rice, water, and techniques, and aged at a low temperature for more than half a year. It is served cold. The color of the sake is a gentle yellow-green. The top aroma is mild and smooth on the palate. The flavor structure is similar to Tsukifumi no Ike, with a clean, refreshing sake with a blue banana aroma and moderate rice flavor. The moderate acidity is also effective and crisp. It is a lighter ginjo-style sake than the junmai sake Tsukifumi no Ike, with a good amount of rice flavor, yet it is easy to drink and delicious. Expect it to warm up as well. ♨️🍶 Oops, neither of these are my favorite 💕. A good start 🚩. I'll be updating this autumn with more Niigata sake, interspersed with a little bit of another sake 😊.

This time it is Rumiko's special junmai aged sake H29BY. This sake is made with Ise-Nishiki and No. 9 yeast. Ise-Nishiki is the oldest remaining sake rice, and is said to have a lineage that extends all the way back to Yamada-Nishiki. First at room temperature. Sake with a soft yellowish color. In the aging process, it has a soft sweet and savory aroma with an earthy flavor. Am I the only one who can sense the abundant harvest of rice just from the aroma? From a very mellow mouthfeel, the sweet and savory flavor of gently roasted rice flows smoothly. The latter half of the taste is broken by acidity and bitterness, leaving a light aftertaste of sweetness from the rice. And when served warmed, The comforting sensation of gently unraveling with the soft and fluffy rice broth feeling. Happiness 😊. I met Rumiko at an event and was impressed by her powerful and agile hospitality! I will never forget the way she spoke passionately about sake and sake rice. I will never forget how passionately she talked about sake and sake rice.
