We had oden with a glass of ankimo and "takachiyo". It is still warm, but I am enjoying the change of season from fall to winter. We enjoyed another delicious drink today 🍶.
This is Kamikame's sweet squash. The natural sweetness of the koji and the freshness of the sparkling wine make it the perfect sake for the hot summer months. ☀️ I have tasted other junmai ginjos by Kamikame, and they have a subtle sweetness and depth of flavor that I am sure I will repeat 🍶🍶.
Lunchtime drink at my usual liquor store after a long time 🍶.
The natural aroma and a hint of sweetness make for a refreshing drink. It is a pleasant sake that I want to drink forever 🍶.
It was the last sake I tasted at my usual liquor store, but I was so impressed with the taste that I immediately decided to buy it. I immediately tried it at home. It tastes like sake and sweet white wine. It is perfect as an after-dinner drink.
This is Risshun Asa Shibori Senkori. It is already spring according to the calendar. This sake was kept on reserve at our regular liquor store and was pressed on the day of Risshun, February 4th. It is a delicious sake with a refreshing taste and a breath of life 🍶🍶🍶🍶.
The other day I was surprised by the taste of Houou Mita's "Yuzu" and drank it all in no time. My wife bought a bottle of "Mikan" this time, so I tried it and it was so good, I couldn't stop drinking it 🍊I think I should buy another bottle 😄.
At a sushi restaurant at GALA Yuzawa station on the way back from a ski trip to Niigata. Midorikawa. It's been a while since I've had it, but I can't help but breathe a sigh of satisfaction after finishing it. Stable taste. I want to drink it again in a while 😄.
I regularly purchase Hououmida's peach, but this was my first time to try "Yuzu", so I tasted it at the store and immediately purchased it. The refreshing taste of Yuzu blended well with the taste of the sake itself, and I found myself drinking more and more of it. I prefer the taste of Yuzu to that of Peach, so I will definitely be purchasing a subscription to this one as well 😂.

While watching Kohaku, I thought about what to drink to close out the year and chose "Raifuku" to bring good luck. I chose "Raifuku" because it had a well-balanced Yamada-Nishiki, with a hint of sweetness, bitterness, and depth, but the aftertaste was clean and refreshing. It was a very flavorful sake with a clean aftertaste.
Wishing you a happy new year 🤲.
We received a bottle of Viridian from Shinsei. Today was the last day of work for this year. A lot has really happened this year, and I think it has been a memorable year in a good way. To celebrate, we started with a glass of wine. Fruity and mellow aroma, a little carbonation, pleasant to drink, and a clean aftertaste... I couldn't help but order a second glass 😂 It seems to be a rare sake, so if I find it, I'll buy it immediately!
We received a bottle of Tatenogawa Challenge Bottle 2022. This is a limited edition sake designed by young brewers to make sake easy to drink for those who do not usually drink sake🍶 It tastes like drinking fruit and is low in alcohol, so even women who do not like sake can enjoy this delicious sake. I have purchased a stock of this sake at home and will enjoy it again at a later date.
I had heard of Zoga before and wanted to try it, and this was the first time I had it. However, it was not to my taste. It was the first time for me to try Zouga, which I had heard of before and wanted to try.
Akita Ichihakusuisei Saki-Nigori. This is the first time I have had this sake, but I like the taste. It has a nigori taste, but it is also very smooth and easy to drink, making it a sake that you will want to drink again and again.
