After work, I had a drink with my colleagues. Good quality sashimi and special Junmai sake from Higashinada. It is a local sake brewery in Katsuura, Chiba Prefecture that also produces Narumi, but Higashinada is not as sharp or flashy as Narumi, but it has a good balance of soft rice flavor, lightness, and refreshing acidity. As a sake from a port town, it goes well with seafood.

Today's supper was katsudon (pork cutlet served on top of a bowl of rice). I made it in a large frying pan and shared it with my daughter. I didn't serve it with rice but with sake, so it was either simmered pork cutlet or simmered pork cutlet with miso soup. Abe" in Yasuda, Kashiwazaki It has a different direction from Niigata's light and dry sake, but it is a good sake that has a good taste of rice rather than just a modern sake, and has the nostalgia of a mid-meal drink by making use of acidity. This is Tatsumi Seishukudo's original orikara-nama sake. It is rather dry and sharp, but the fizziness, acidity, and umami are irresistible.

After work, I got off at Jujo Station. I had a drink at Saito Bar. Heated sake from a large bottle of Sapporo Akahoshi for 260 yen. The sake in the bottle is Seiryu from Hasuda, Saitama, a classic standard, with a nice sakey quality, and is quite good heated. New potatoes simmered in minced meat, Kushikatsu & Curry Croquettes, and

Nigori Umeshu (plum wine) from Koshu Umebayashi. This is an extra post because it is a plum wine, but it is a sake based plum wine. I was about to have a glass of sake when I came home, My wife reported that she hadn't had Koshu Umebayashi's plum wine for a long time, and it had become mellower and less angular. My wife is not a drinker, so I thought it was unusual and therefore went with it on the rocks. It is a nigori plum wine with plum pulp, basically dry, and it may indeed have become mellower. I bought it last spring at a direct sale at a brewery in the Koshu Plum Grove and had drunk more than half of it so far, and it had been sitting in my kitchen. I think it is quite good👍. As for sake-based plum wine, my personal favorites are from Niigata sake breweries I personally like sake based plum wine from Niigata breweries such as Shimehari Tsuru, Koshino Katora, and Tsururei. It matches my taste for sake.

以前に1,600チェックインした時に飲んだ酒、その時は外飲みでした。 奈良萬は好きなのですが、このおりがらみを家飲みでじっくりは今回が初めてかも。 開栓注意の赤札がかかっていますが、開栓には苦労しない程度の微発泡。 ほどよく米の甘さや旨みが味に溶け込んでいて、爽やかでかつ美味しい。 おりのにごり部分の量もそれなりにあり、上澄みを飲みつつ、後半に濃度を高めて行く楽しみも。 何気に間違いない実力派な奈良萬。

Abe, the vector is different from the old Niigata light and dry, but it has a modern flavor that makes the most of the acidity, and the main ingredient is the umami of the rice🌾, which has evolved over the years. It has an alcohol content of 12, is light and easy to drink, and the 80% rice polishing ratio is surprising to see after drinking. Serve with udo with walnuts, fried chicken, fried octopus, and fried potatoes. This documentary was produced by a broadcasting station in Niigata and aired on Fuji TV affiliate in August 2023. The documentary is titled "Kura wo Tsugaru: The Future of Sake Brewed by the Sixth Generation." I had recorded it on my Blu-ray hard disk, but finally watched it and found it to be very good, making me want to drink more and more abeshu in the future.

Omi Neko Masamune x Suguru Big Cutlet This sake was purchased quite a while ago and stored in the vegetable compartment of the refrigerator. Now that we have Big Cutlet, we finally take this opportunity to drink it. As is sometimes the case, you can grow aged sake unintentionally. The production date is December 2021, and it has been aged for 3.5 years. I think it has a slightly savory aged aroma, though I am not sure if it is the original flavor or not, I enjoyed it with everything from big cutlets to croquettes and fried horse mackerels👍. I checked the brewery's website and found that they have closed their brewing business in June 2023. Combined with the fact that they were unintentionally cultivating an aged sake, it was a cup 🍶 that made me feel the passage of time.

Junmai Unfiltered Nama-shu from Kikusen in Fukaya, Saitama Prefecture. I have an image of Kikusen as a standard Saitama sake brewery, but in a good way, The taste is smooth and has a raw, unfiltered character, but in a good sense, it has a sake-like, sake-like, and austere taste that is typical of Musashikuni and Saitama Prefecture sake. It is served with stir-fried udo (udo radish) with walnuts and pork ribs from Niigata Prefecture.

I just got home from work and today's dinner was, My wife's homemade dumplings🥟. She baked 25 of them for me👍. They have a punchy, garlicky flavor. With Sapporo's Niigata limited edition beer "Flavor Soukai Nishite". with Murakami's Oyomori. A 300ml bottle, it is a little different from Niigata's "light and dry" style, with a subtle acidity and light mouthfeel that would go well with seafood and fish.

Gyve, good evening😊. I like "Shizuoka Barley Wine" 👍. I hope you can think of it as a regional Niigata Prefecture version of Sapporo's "Flavor Soukai Nishite". If you see it, please do. I think it would be great with Niigata edamame in the summer.

I was in JR Shinjuku station after work on Friday. I came across a place where it was being sold through a project using hakobyun (same-day service by Shinkansen) and got it. It has a clear and tasty flavor, with the curd that is often found in sake has been successfully removed. We paired it with grilled chicken with cheese, udo with walnuts, tomatoes, cucumbers, and Dojima rolls.

On the dining table, there was a variety of Niigata wild vegetables such as kinome (sprouts of trees) and udo (udo), which my wife and son had brought back from the countryside earlier and cooked for us, as well as nokpe (a type of rice cooked with soy sauce) and red rice flavored with soy sauce. We drank a glass of Yoshinogawa, Nagaoka's sake. This superb Yoshinogawa Ginjo, 300ml bottle, It is a very good, light and refreshing Niigata ginjo sake.

We served udo stir-fried with pork belly, a dish with a delicious flavor and the strength of spring, etc. The "health and longevity prayer" was not specifically mentioned on the bottle or label, but only on the pouch.

A 300 ml bottle of snow-stored sake from Niigata Meisho Co. in rural Ojiya. I was staying alone for another day on the 4th of GW, and after eating at a popular ramen restaurant in the countryside, I wanted to take my time walking around the city and have a local sake for dinner at my birthplace. The effect of snow storage? Is it? It was mellow, fresh, dark, 19 degrees, and delicious. Even 300ml is enough to drink 👍

At the return home. The main dishes include tree buds, a large amount of wild vegetables (butterbur sprouts, udo, and kogomi), tempura of maitake and shiitake mushrooms, fried shrimp, and fried chicken. I have been posting a theory on Sakegawa for more than five years that Hakkaisan's regular sake goes especially well with mountain vegetables, and there is no doubt about it. The smoothness, fullness, balance, and subtle bitterness of Hakkaisan's sake, which exceeds the standard for regular sake, is the best match for wild vegetable dishes. It is delicious cold or warmed, and is especially versatile for springtime dining.

The bottle is not transparent and is covered with a white label, although it said to be careful of spewing when opening the bottle: ⚠️. You can't tell how the water level rises! When we opened the bottle very carefully, it did not spurt out, but we could see it was fizzing. Mellow fresh fizzy mouthfeel. Incidentally, due to the white label, we were unable to determine the approximate manachiri 💦. As a result, we ended up with a 4-glass bottle.
