Drinking at home with Kiritanpo hot pot of Hinai Jidori chicken. Of course, I used Akita's Fukkomachi to match the dish. It has a sour and slightly bitter flavor.
The fourth and final cup is a Junmai from Hokkaido. Kuriyama-cho in Yubari? Kuriyama-cho in Yubari, the town where baseball manager Kuriyama moved to, right?
It has a soft taste. It was quite a gem with a sharp and tasty taste.
The second glass was my first Ibaraki sake.
It was more acidic than Yonetsuru, but gradually changed from acidity to umami as we continued eating and drinking.
After a long absence, we went to our usual restaurant, Denbei. Today's sake lineup started with Yonetsuru Junmai.
It is light on the palate and goes down well. It is delicious and has no unpleasant taste.
Junmai Ginjo made from two types of sake rice, Akita Sake Komachi and Miyamanishiki. I still like its soft taste. It also has a nice sharpness. Akita sake is good!
The members I was drinking with were still fond of Yuki no Kayasha among the all-you-can-drink options at this [Hibikian Annex No. 3]. It's easy to drink.
It is brewed in a wooden vat made of precious Akita cedar, and the distinctive label uses the grain of the wood as a background. Nice aroma. It has a very refreshing taste and is easy to drink.
Mexican Tequila, I missed it. I was not able to taste it, so I would like to try this Kochi yeast sake, now I want to drink it 🍶Sake no Wa, you have registered with Toyonou Ume.
This is one of the bottles we stocked in Akita this summer. It is sparkling and as the name "Dolce (sweet)" suggests. It is filled with carbonation and has a strong sweetness, but it tastes very much like Japanese sake. I heard that there is also a Brut. If I have a chance, I would definitely like to try that one too.
Another round of drinks after the closing ceremony, as it was still good. This is my first time to drink Yamanashi sake. This one was too peculiar for me. So this is an extra.
The sixth and seventh glasses are a comparison of Miyagi's best sake. It has a nice mouthfeel. Shirasu (baby sardine) on Tochio fried tofu, pizza style. Very tasty.
The third glass was a junmai ginjo from Fukushima. It was my first time to drink this sake, but it was better than I expected because of its umami flavor.
