I came to Hakodate for a three-day weekend. Sake was served at this restaurant. They had Tasake on tap, so I had some. The sake is consistently delicious.

I used to drink it at a tavern, but this time I bought it by myself at a distributor. I was impressed by its sweet and fruity taste.
In my opinion, it is similar to banana. It may be a little less sweet due to the use of Aizan, but after opening the bottle, it seemed to go down a storm, and I drank too much even though I divided the bottle into small portions.
I am looking forward to the flavor after a few hours.

At the after-party at another restaurant, I continued to drink sake.
I had just had Aizan, so I ordered Yamadanishiki this time.
I thought it would be more like this one,
The taste was more robust and just as I had expected. I think Aizan is more bitter. I would like to drink it after opening the bottle at home.

I drank Toyo Bijin's Aizan at a pub.
I felt it was less sweet than Yamadanishiki and Omachi. I think this is the best one to drink with a meal.

This is the second one I got on a recent expedition to Asahikawa.
It is a bottle of Sanzen from Kurashiki City, Okayama Prefecture.
Yamada-Nishiki 55% was recommended.
When I drank it, it tasted fruity and tropical. It is normally delicious, but the alcohol content is a little high at 17%, so you feel you are getting drunk faster.
It is sweet, so it is good for an evening drink.
However, it may not be suitable as a food drink.
It also has a sour taste, so it is suitable for summer.

It has been a while since I visited Doi Shoten in Asahikawa.
I told them what I liked and they chose this sake for me. It is Wakamusume from Yamaguchi Prefecture.
I love the sweet aroma when I open the bottle. It is quite strong. When you drink it, it is sweet like green apple and easy to drink without any bitter taste. The sweetness seems to become even stronger after a few days, so you can enjoy it even after opening the bottle.
It is a good sake for a small drink with dinner.
As expected from Doi Shoten.
The staff is very nice.

Toyo Bijin, which I have had a few times at pubs. This is the first time for me to buy it myself. I have had Yamadanishiki before, so I bought Omachi.
It is delicious even when I drink it at home.
It is easy to drink. I wonder if it is just me who has the illusion that the more I drink, the better it tastes.
I can't get enough of this soft sweetness.

I also drank Hahoyo. It has a stable taste and seems to go well with snacks. The price is reasonable. This is the best drink to have at a restaurant.

It has been a long time since I have had a drink at a sake bar, but I never expected to be treated to a rare sake. I was surprised when I looked it up later. It was a very rare sake that supports the reconstruction of Taiwan.
It was easy to drink No. 6, a naturally sparkling miracle, but a glass of it was too heavy. It will be a legendary drink in my history.

I have had 657 before, so I bought 507 which is a bit more polished. It has a light aftertaste with little bitterness. It has a nice fizzy aftertaste. I bought a small bottle, but it would have been better in a 4-ounce bottle.

It is easy to drink like wine.
I think it's worth it, even though it's a Saga Prefecture sake.

Hanami Romain, which I managed to buy before the Hanami Sake stock ran out. I finished off this year's spring with this to accompany yakitori.
Perhaps it is because I am used to sake, but I found it tasted better after a little time than right after opening the bottle.

Low-alcohol sake. Similar to Umeshu or Kyoroshu. It is categorized as sake, but I think it is more of a kijoshu than a regular sake. I think it is better to drink it by itself rather than with a meal, like an aperitif or as if you were eating fruit.

This year's spring sake is again from Kido. This is the best of the Four Seasons series. Spring sake is the easiest to drink, and the bitter aftertaste is as good as ever.
