This year's New Year's Eve bottle is Shinshu Kamereizan Ke Nishiki. This is a bottle that I acquired last year during a visit to the brewery. It is fruity, with a peachy sweetness and acidity that is truly delicious. It is a pity that you have to go to Nagano to get it, but it is a delicious sake.

The first bottle of the New Year is Tazake, which has been a long time coming. It has a good balance of mellow flavor and acidity. I finished it before night while eating Zoni from noon.

This was also served at the Sakura Lounge. Since I drank it after the Yokoyama, it seemed a bit dry, but I could taste the mellow rice flavor. It was a great way to start the morning with a delicious sake.

It is said to be a very limited sake, shipped only one day a year. It tasted like fresh pears. It was a taste I would like to drink again.

It is a Kochi brand called Shimanto, not Shimanto River. This sake was also available at the Sakura Lounge, so I had it. I found it to be an umami sake with a delicious taste of rice.

I drank Tenshi, which I had heard was pretty good. It was better than I expected. It also has a muscat aroma like white wine. As expected from Nishi Shuzo, they are good at what they do.

At the end of our visit to Ise, we had it with delicious Ise Bay seafood and Matsuzaka beef at an inn in Toba Onsen. The ginjo aroma with a hint of citrus and a refreshing taste matched the food perfectly and was delicious.

I was a little short on drinks, so I had it as a closing drink. It had a good balance of acidity and sharpness, and was delicious even with a moderately full stomach. Sake from Mie is also all of a high level.

Of the three types of sake in the comparison, this was the only junmai sake, but the other two were ginjos, so it was a sake with a flavor that gave a simple impression of the delicious taste of rice.

This is actually my first experience with Jikin, as it is not an easy brand to find. The ginjo aroma spreads softly, and it has a nice sharpness. I had another glass of Jikin.

We visited Ise and compared three kinds of Mie's famous sake at an izakaya near Ise Shrine. The concept was to match the cuisine of Ise-Shima. The food was delicious, so the sake tasted twice as good. This kind of sake drinking comparison is good sometimes.
