One of the recommended breweries in the local Tochigi Prefecture. We are happy to see that they have recently won awards at international competitions and their name has been selling well. The summer version is more sharp.

A gift from an acquaintance. It is a little bit more koji rice than usual, but there is no unpleasant smell and it is exquisitely balanced.

This was delicious, but my favorite was still the classic Tanaka 65.

I have not had Edo Kaijo since it was served at a Japanese restaurant before. Was it my imagination that I felt a little bit of a cloying taste?

A fizzy, low-alcohol 12% sake. Chilled and opened on a hot day. It is a bit gassy, so hold on to drinking it for a bit after putting it in the glass. After a while, it becomes nice. You can enjoy it as much as you want.

Sake served with sushi. It was my first time in Nagano. It is not flashy but has a certain elegance. I was not tired of drinking it, so I decided to continue with it for the rest of the day.

Second glass with sashimi. Summer Junmai. This is also light and refreshing for a summer sake. The bottle was beautiful and I liked it.

First drink at my usual sushi restaurant. Refreshing. Fruity. The aroma is gorgeous, but not cloying, and the sharpness is typical of Kochi sake.

I'm not sure. It certainly seems like it is unfiltered raw sake. Maybe I should have tried changing the temperature.

It felt heavy even though it was a draft sake. Was it my age? Have I become weak with sake?

Souhyo, a leading local sake brewery, collaborated with Ichikai-cho. The label features an image of a small hawk, a sashiba, returning to the town every year just like Tora-san. The taste is, of course, unmistakable.

Hi kawanori 😃
Sasiba🦅 is famous among bird lovers in Noda City, Chiba Prefecture, where my parents lived, and there were many birdwatchers there at the time of year! Something about Tochigi sake 🍶 and sasiba returning home... it's a sake that connects to many things 🥹.

It's been a while since I've had a Mitsuo Yamakawa - or should I say, this is the first time I've had Yamagata Masamune/Mizutobe sake brewed. To be honest, I don't remember much about it, but I think the Yamagata Masamune I drank before had a smoother texture on the tongue. After opening the bottle, I let it sit for a while, but it was still as robust as before. To put it better, does it have a solid backbone?

I've never been a big fan of cask sake, but this is delicious. I paired it with smoked oysters and it was great!

Purchased at Mekada Sake Shop. I think Hachitan-nishiki is the best for Chochin. It is delicious ‼️ and has a deep taste. It can be served with sake alone or with food. It's good.

I had never had it before, so I bought it on a trip to Shizuoka. It was so-so. Compared to Isoboast and Shoyuki....

It has been a long time since I have had a Kido. When you drink it, you can smell the aroma and taste the flavor. It is delicious.

First time in a long time for the Kamikawa heavy snowfall. This time it was light nigori. It is delicious. It is sweet but has a sharp taste and goes well with food. It's still very good.

The taste really changes. It opens up with a strong sweetness, but after a day, it is smooth and refreshing. Took some sushi home and enjoyed it. It goes well with it.

After the marathon, we all drank together after the bath. Gorgeous. A celebratory sake. The label is also nice.

Sake made with Omachi produced from natural agriculture of the Kimura method, famous for its miraculous apples. Powerful? I could not tell the difference myself.
