I was going to open it yesterday, but I was too sleepy 💤, so I opened it today. We were busy running errands over the 3-day weekend, but this was a reward for our hard work as a couple. The aroma is sweet and pineapple-like, and the sweetness spreads on the palate, but there is also a hint of sourness, so it is easy to drink. It goes down the throat smoothly and there is not much of a lingering aftertaste. Neither of my spouses would buy a sake with a strong fruity taste, but this sake has an elegant sweetness that is cut by a moderate acidity, which is a nice touch. ⭕️

Today I had a light toast with a friend on the go. I tasted it at an event and bought it because it was easy to drink and had a stylish label. It has a sweet aroma, a gentle mouthfeel, sweetness and umami that spreads softly, and a dry aftertaste that goes down the throat nicely. It has a nice balance between the light dryness and sweet fruity taste that is typical of Niigata. ☺️ I didn't quite catch the woody aroma 😅 but it was delicious: ⭕️

With the arrival of cold weather starting next week, I opened a bottle of this one that I bought in early summer. The aroma is mild and melon-like 🍈. The sweetness and umami come out on the palate, and the acidity tightens up the mouth afterwards, followed by a pleasantly fluffy aftertaste. I paired it with mushrooms and tempura for dinner and it went well with them, making for a happy dinner. ☺️

Today we went to the liquor store again to buy sake that the wife wants, and for dinner we had a hot pot 🍲. I opened a bottle of DATESEVEN "Urakasumi style" which is now in stock and I had to drink some sake. The aroma is fruity and sweet. The umami and acidity spreading from the palate are well balanced and create a happy taste. ☺️ The lingering aftertaste is mild yet pleasant and refreshing, and the crispness is delicious 😋. I think I personally prefer this DATESEVEN: ⭕️ I'm planning to attend another event next week, so I'll probably buy some alcohol, so I'll have to savor it and drink it too😅.

The other day, I visited Izumo-taisha Shrine and bought a cup of sake 🍶 "Shimaneko labeled Tensho" at a souvenir shop along the approach to the shrine. I will drink it with the Shimanekko cup that I bought at Izumo-taisha a few years ago 😺. The aroma is mild and melon-like. The mouthfeel is soft, then the umami of the rice spreads out and the aftertaste is dry and sharp. Maybe the water is soft, or maybe it's the overall smoothness that makes it easy to drink. ⭕️ This sake made me think that classic sake is also delicious. ☺️

It's Halloween🎃 in the world, but it was cold today, so we had mushroom hot pot soup🍄🍲. To go with the nabe, we paired it with "Aizan" (🍶) from "Banshu Issen", which is a couple's favorite. The aroma is sweet, apple-like, and the mouthfeel is soft, with a subtle gasiness that gives it a perfect balance of umami and acidity. And the crisp finish with a nice lingering aftertaste is wonderful 😊. I feel that the high level of "Banshu Issen" is that you really can't go wrong with any of them. ⭕️ I hope to make it my goal to visit the sake brewery this year 😌.

I finally opened a bottle of Amezure's summer sake, which I had been curious about because of its stylish label and bottle. The aroma is mineral or cool and refreshing. The mouthfeel has a strong gassy feeling with a hint of sourness, and the bitterness quickly rushes in and goes down the throat smoothly. It is more like beer than sake. It is dry and crisp as described, so it is certainly good for summer ❓ but since both of us are not beer drinkers, it was not a good match for us 😅. I guess it was also a mistake to open it in the cooler season 💧.

Today from noon, I attended the Fushimi brewery opening event for the first time and was happy to visit a sake brewery I wanted to try ☺️ (the picture is of Jyuseki's event limited edition sake). As the evening settled down a bit, we opened this bottle 🍶. Pale peach-colored sake brewed with "peach yeast" that I bought at an event in early summer. From the aroma of grapes like red wine to the mouthfeel, from the fruity sweetness to the refreshing aftertaste, it goes down your throat nicely. Since it is 9%, it is light and easy to drink. It is so nuanced that if you serve it to someone without telling them, they may not even realize it is sake, so it is good for beginners.

I tasted it at a department store and it was delicious, but I didn't buy it because I had a lot of stock at home, so I bought a small bottle at a supermarket wagon. The aroma was subdued, and after a light umami taste, the spiciness rushed in and left a sharp taste and a lingering aftertaste. It has a traditional sake feel to it, but it is completely different from the sake I was allowed to taste, so I wonder if the quality has gone down a bit ❓. Next time I will buy a proper one and post again.

Today is the Mid-Autumn Moon, so the wife was very excited to have a tsukimi-sake (moon-viewing sake) and opened the bottle because she bought this sake for that purpose. (I ran out to buy it here 😆). The aroma is fresh and pear-like, with a fruity sweetness and umami that spreads well in the mouth. The aftertaste is crisp with a sharp acidity that makes you want to drink the next cup and the next and the next. We had a couple of drinks in the evening in a nearby park to accompany the cheese 🌕.

Today is Sake Day🍶, so I opened a bottle of this Junmai Daiginjo that I bought at the event to drink a little better sake. Takeoka" is my personal hit of the year. The aroma is fresh, youthful and melon-like 🍈. The palate has a very pleasant flow from a slight gasiness to a gentle sweetness to a pleasant acidity: ☺️ The smooth finish with a nice lingering aftertaste makes me happy 😊. I've only been immersed in the sake swamp for about a year, but it was one of those days when I wanted to spend time without forgetting to thank the people who work hard to make sake. ⭕️

The mornings and evenings are getting cooler, so I decided I had to try a summer sake. The aroma is like fresh pears, the mouthfeel is very gentle and smooth, the sweetness and umami spread out with a pleasant acidity, and it goes down the throat gently, but it also has the sharpness of Yamadanishiki. You can feel the high level of Hiroshima's sake. ⭕️ It is 12%, so overall it is gentle, so it may not suit those who like strong sake, but I would recommend it to those who are not used to drinking sake 🍶. We tasted two kinds and bought this one, but we regret that we should have bought both 😅.

I had always wanted to try Oumine. When I found a cup of sake that is only served twice a year at a restaurant, I bought it without hesitation. The aroma was mild and fruity. The palate has a fruity sweetness and moderate acidity, with a nice bitter accent and a refreshing aftertaste. It made me want to try the other wines as well, and I ran out of them very quickly.

今日は奥様は実家でお泊まりと言う事で1人で晩酌🍶 家の掃除等を済ませて、奥様に頼まれていたお酒を買いに酒屋さんへ🚗 ミッションを済ませて、自分の物を店員さんと相談してこちらを購入⭕️ 香りは甘いかつ柑橘系のような酸味のある香り。 口当たりはほのかなガス感からグッと旨味を感じさせてくれて程よい酸味が口の中を引き締めてくれてスッキリとした後口。 飲みやすいので、どんどん注いでしまうのは上品な酸味のおかげなんでしょうね😋 何となく田んぼに沈んでいく夕焼けをトンボが飛んでいるような、どこか物寂しげだけど懐かしい晩夏を思い起こさせる味わいとでもいいましょうか🌇 裏のラベルの身内トークも遊び心があって良いですね😄 ちなみに酒屋さんいわく、「サンセットオレンジ」の方が酸味が出てるとの事です。 「サンセットオレンジ」の情景みたいな感想書いてしまったけど、飲んだのは「ターコイズブルー」です😆 1人でしっぽり晩酌もたまには良いですね⭕️

Hi Jay & Nobby 😃. We happened to be spending the same consecutive holidays 😆. Since your wife's two sakes were clean and refreshing, we discussed with the waitress that we wanted a umami type sake, and we had two choices with "Jyuseki" and decided on this one: ⭕️

Since we prepared yakitori for dinner, we thought Omachi would be the perfect sake to go with it. This is a sake brewery that the Omachiste's wife was interested in at the event. We tasted several and finally opened the bottle after purchasing it in early summer. The aroma is very sake-like with a slight fresh fruitiness. The mouthfeel has a fruity flavor, but it also has the umami and sweetness of Omachi-like rice, while it leaves the throat with a good sharpness, giving a great sense of satisfaction. ☺️ As expected, it goes well with yakitori (grilled chicken). It's 17 degrees so you have to drink it with care 🍶. I'd like to try the autumn hiyaoroshi as well. ⭕️

Good evening, Mr. Kachikazan! Iori, it's delicious 😋. I have received it at an event with a different label, but it was so delicious that I took it home 🎵. I remember it was beautifully sweet and well balanced 🤤. Yakitori & Sake is the best 🤗.

Hi ma-ki-😃 It is indeed a well-balanced sake: ⭕️ It looks like it's coming to the department store at the end of the month, so I'm hoping to visit in anticipation of their fall sake 😋. Yakitori and sake is a happy combination 😊.

Another hot week, made more difficult by the typhoon 🌀 Before summer ends, we opened a bottle of summer sake with a summery label🍶. This is a sake from Aichi prefecture that I tasted and purchased at an event. The aroma is gorgeous, maybe because it is also alsobeared? The taste is pleasant with a strong umami flavor and a refreshing acidity, and it has a nice sharpness, so it tastes just right with sashimi 🐟. I was told that it is recommended to drink it on the rocks, so I tried it on the rocks as well, and it tastes like it could be drunk endlessly 😅. When I told the brewer that the sake from Aichi Prefecture is delicious, he seemed happy and said that the fermented foods in Aichi Prefecture are actually very good 😌 (soy sauce, miso, sake).

With the heat remaining the same, hiya-otoshi (cold sake) is starting to appear on the market, so we decided to open a bottle of this one 🍶. The aroma is fruity, but when you put it in your mouth, it has a good amount of gas and a moderate umami, followed by a firm acidity, and the crispness that is typical of Yamadanishiki is perfect for summer 🌻. The wife says it tastes just like the label says. Personally, I like the taste, but she is not so sure. This Hiyayogoshi is also a case for consideration lol

We finally opened a bottle of the spring release of the "Nine Tails" series by Amataka, which we had been curious about for some time. The "Kuo" series seems to be a challenge series, with a different theme each time, and this one was brewed with Gohyakumangoku rice grown in-house with a rice polishing ratio of 80%. The aroma has a graininess to it, which heightens the sense of anticipation. The mouthfeel has a gentle gasiness and a gentle umami spreading through the mouth, and the moderate bitterness tightens up the whole taste. Sake with spreading umami makes you happy from the moment you drink it. ☺️ I would like to try "Tenryaka" as well 😊.

After a busy first half of Obon vacation, I finally returned home and took it easy 😌. I opened a bottle of this sake I bought during GW. The aroma is unobtrusive, as is typical of Japanese sake, but it has a cemedine-like aroma. The mouthfeel is clean and gentle rather than the complex flavor typical of Omachi. It has a sourness and a dry taste on the throat. It is the perfect sake to drink in a relaxed and leisurely manner.

Yesterday was our wedding anniversary and today is my birthday, so we are celebrating here 🎂. A toast to the couple's favorite Hakurakusei from Date Seven, a month late 🥂. Don't tell anyone that I combined it with my birthday so I wouldn't forget our wedding anniversary 😆. The aroma is mild and sake-like, with a hint of sweetness and firm acidity in the mouth. It always makes me think that Hakurakusei is brilliant when paired with a meal 😌. I am happy to have had a good time yesterday and today ☺️
