シカタロウ
Shuyoshi today. A cup of sake from Akita. It is from the same Suzuki Sake Brewery as La Chante. It was founded in 1689! It is hot, so it is served well chilled. It is light and dry, with a hint of citrus. It has a clear outline with a hint of sweetness and umami. Excuse me, but it was better than I expected. I love cup sake because it betrays me in a good way. I like the gap between the words "Sake King" on the label and "Mencoina," the rice used to make it. Rice / Menkoina Sake meter / +2.0 Acidity / 1.4 Alcohol content / 15

Today is Kariho. Rokusyu of Kariho, a gift from Akita the other day. It is dry and has an alcohol content of 15 degrees, but it is light and easy to drink. It has no strong personality and can be easily matched with anything. In a sense, it is easy to drink. I would like to drink it with some grilled Hinai chicken as a side dish!

La Chante the other day. I first learned about the sparkling LaChante when I visited Akita. Poured into a champagne glass, the beautiful appearance of bubbles rising from the glass is champagne itself 🥂. It is brewed with 100% Akita-Komachi and water from the Ou Mountains. It tastes like sweet champagne 🍾. But I personally didn't like the aroma. It smells a bit like glue for a moment after you take a sip from the top of the bottle. It's so perfect that it's hard to believe it's made from rice, but compared to real champagne (not that it needs to be compared), it's less subtle and has a strong rice carbohydrate feel (which is a good thing).

The snow chaya the other day. Junmai Ginjo. Gorgeous aroma, delicious rice flavor, elegant and fruity taste, and a refreshing sharpness. Very well put together and quite delicious. A definite taste ✨.

Today, he is a snowman. The snow man I have often seen in your posts at Sake no Wa. I found one cup. Is it a crying boy? This is a local sake from Uonuma, a rice-producing region. It has a refreshing taste and rice flavor. I think it is delicious and easy to match with anything. As a believer in the theory that sake in a cup tastes good, this proves the theory again. I was told that a portion of the proceeds are donated to the Council for Mountain Disaster Prevention. It's great to be able to contribute to society by drinking sake.

Kamikame today. Okinawa and Saitama until the national championship. I was told that the only sake brewery in Okinawa, Reimei, was being relocated, but I was optimistic that it would remain somewhere. I checked the food logs and called every single place on the menu, but all of them were dead. One restaurant even snapped at me saying that they were not an Okinawan restaurant for some reason. I was also annoyed by this, but I managed to suppress it and lost all motivation, saying that I didn't want any more Okinawan sake. I really wanted to have a reimei and meet Hana-yosu at the end, but I decided not to do that anymore. So, I went to Kamikame and drank sake. I was in the mood to be happy with anyone in Saitama (sorry for the lack of refinement). But ‼️ it's so good ‼️ Pale amber in color. Full mouthfeel, rich rice flavor. The image of old-fashioned sake. It's definitely best heated, but it's hot today, so it's naturally warmed to human skin. Thank you ✨

Hi Shikatarou 😃 I'm also interested in Okinawan dawn, but it's not easy to find 😅I'll try to pay attention to it in pubs ✨.

Thank you, ichiro18! Yes, I thought that even if there are no new shipments, there might be some leftover bottles somewhere, but I might have been naive 😱If you have any good information, please let me know ✨.

Sentoku today. Nama-shu is a freshly stored sake that is heat-treated just before shipping. The alcohol content is 12%. It has a clear profile that is typical of alsochu liqueur, but if you drink it well chilled, this is flavored water, for better or for worse! 😆😅 It might go better with meat wrapped rice balls (a bit old-fashioned?) than with shochu at all! Personally, I don't think shochu goes well with rice. I recommend Koi no Shizuku among the Sentoku series we drank this time.

Sentoku today. Koi no Shizuku Junmai Daiginjo. It was served well chilled. Light at 12% alcohol, soft on the palate, what can I say, this is simply, slightly sweet water. If you call it a love drop, it might be, but it is more like watermelon juice. Frankly, it has more of a Kabuto feel to it than "Kabuto".

Today, it's the Senkou Kabuto. My first rhinoceros beetle, and I was able to catch it too. It was suddenly hot and humid in the afternoon, like a summer day, and it was Father's Day. Thankfully, I opened a bottle of Kabutomushi. It is a delicious sake with a refreshing acidity that reminds me of my boyhood when I hatched kabutomushi! The second day after opening the bottle, I felt that the alcohol feeling was gone, and it was truly an adult lemon squash. No, you don't feel the carbonation that much, so it's an adult's aquarius oosis. I'll be drinking it thinking of the season filled with love in the languid June rain.

Thank you, Jay & Nobby. ‼️ Not only does it taste great, but Senkou is also very good at marketing 👍! And Okinawa, as you said, was too muzzy 😭.

Mitsui Kotobuki today. Chicara. The aroma is said to be fresh and apple-like due to the use of malic acid high producing yeast. Yes, fresh and fruity. Not too sweet, which is good. Chicara is Italian for cicada.

Sentoku today. Sentoku is the pride of Miyazaki, the shochu prefecture. It has a traditional taste. Basically, they do not make shochu, but sake. The chicken nanban and deep-fried Mexicali are the best in Nobeoka. Shochu is good and sake is good. Everything is good. I love Miyazaki. This Sentoku definitely goes well with fried Mexicali. Only 2 more to go until I conquer the whole country: ‼️

Thank you, Jay & Nobby! Yes, I've been looking for a place to go to for a while now! There, the information itself is kind of unclear, maybe the only sake brewery is closed 😂⁉️ And I've decided that Saitama is a hana-yosu, but I haven't come across it at all 😂.

Today, a pine tree at Atago. One summer of love. The first pine tree at Atago. What a sweet and sour sound of one summer's love! I am a little hesitant to drink it as an old man. It is light, fresh, and fresh. It is not so sweet and seems to go very well with the officially recommended summer vegetables and pike conger.

Yesterday's takachiyo. Ripe Pineapple" - very intense flavor, yet wrapped in freshness and clarity at the end. Summer Blue" is one of Takachiyo's most popular sakes throughout the year, as it pursues the expression of fruit flavors. I don't remember the details, though. Pineapple, for example. It was delicious, though.

Yesterday, Yokoyama. It was the first time for me to drink YOKOYAMA. It is a refreshingly fruity and tropical summer sake, and if you call it that, it certainly is. It has a nice sharpness and can be drunk in large gulps.
