Nanawarai純米吟醸　バナナワライ
Nanawarai ShuzoNagano

徒然草
The first bottle of the 26th year is a seven-laughs banana warai to make it a year of many laughs. It is true that the aroma when you first take a sip gives you a hint of banana. However, it is not too sweet, and the fresh fruity taste continues to be delicious.

The last of the 25 years is the final one in the mountains of Niigata. After a feeling of gaseousness, it has a nice balance of acidity and spiciness that is typical of nama sake.

It was brought in by a participant at the year-end party. We were lucky to be able to drink Kamerei here. It has the best balance of soft and fluffy rice flavor, acidity, and juiciness.

I visited the brewery in early spring and managed to acquire a bottle, which I was reluctant to open, so I put it away for a while, but finally opened it because it is indeed a pure sake. It has a fruity aroma like a ripe apple from Shinshu and a ginjo aroma. I guess I'll have to go back to Ueda in the spring to buy some more.

Basically, I don't drink much honjozo sake, but I tried a bottle of Kumamoto's Koroh. It has a good balance of umami and acidity, and I thought it would be a very cost-effective sake for drinking at home.

It is said to be brewed jointly by Tanizumi and Kagatobi in Noto, which was damaged by the earthquake. I had it at my favorite izakaya (Japanese-style bar) in Dotonbori, as they were supporting Noto's recovery. It had a refreshing, light taste.

I have had Tazake several times, but this is my first experience with Zenchidori. It is an umakuchi type sake typical of Nishida Shuzo, but it is not sweet, and has a subtle dryness and sharpness that give it a refined taste.

Kikuhime, Ishikawa's famous sake, has a rich, mellow taste that is not a sign of its richness and umakuchi. The umakuchi went perfectly with Kagoshima chicken dishes.

When I came to Osaka, I wanted to drink Osaka sake as my first drink, and I had Katanozakura, which I had enjoyed before. It is delicious, with a good balance of mellow flavor and acidity.

My favorite brand, Eiko Fuji's The Platinum, I couldn't open it easily and let it sit for about six months, but it tastes fresh, fresh and gorgeous, and is still delicious.

This is the first variety of Junmai Daiginjo from Kubota that I have had, and while it is light and dry, it has a gorgeous aroma. It goes well with Chinese food.

This was also served at the Kansai International Airport lounge. It was brewed with specially cultivated rice from Noto. The aroma was gorgeous and fruity, and I almost drank too much in the morning.

Mie is also a prefecture with many delicious major brand-name sake, but this was my first time to try Gizaemon. It had a fresh flavor and good ginjo aroma, and was refreshingly tasty in the lingering summer heat.
