而今がびっくりするくらい美味しくて、2025年は日本酒を勉強しようと思っていたら、さけのわに出会いました。 お酒の味を表現する力がないことと美味しいお酒にカロリーがあることが悩みです。 舌には自信ありませんが、楽しく日本酒を飲むための備忘録です。

Cold chrysanthemum today. To accompany the Hinamatsuri party, I carefully opened the bottle following the instructions to be careful when opening the bottle. Compared to yesterday's Occasional Aizan 50, it is more effervescent, more refreshing, sweeter, and crisp, and quite to my liking. It is said to represent such a view of the world, where sunlight reflecting off the surface of the Kujukurihama beach sparkles and shines. If you say so, it may be just like that! The president of Kangiku Meikozo seems to be quite a romanticist! Lovely!

Today is cold chrysanthemum. 100% Aiyama, 50% polished rice. Sweet, mellow, rich, and slightly gassy. The sake rice, Diamond Aiyama, is from Hyogo Prefecture. We found it at a nearby liquor store and rushed to get it. I received a bottle of red, shiny "Ai" sent from Kujukuri!

Today's crop. Junmai Daiginjo of my favorite brand, Saku. It is called "nouveau" which means fresh, youthful, light and soft robe. Delicious. The label of this Saku is very cool, which is the most important point for me personally. I love the font, the color (hard to tell, but it's a shiny dark blue?), and the background. I really like the background. I also like the English on the back of the label and the fact that it is 750ml instead of 720ml, as if the sake brewer was thinking of foreign countries.

Morishima today. First impressions: fluffy fruit aroma, juicy, super crisp aftertaste that disappears lightly stoned, a little tingly. A little tingling, like pears. Yum~. You can never have too many of these. Just the other day, I read an interview with Mr. Morishima on the Internet news, in which he said that good sake is sake that has no taste that can be perceived as not tasty, and I see! Polishing ratio 50%, alcohol content 15%, Comet is sake rice born in Hokkaido. The purple paper label is very classy.

Today is Collage. It is a Junmai Ginjyo Nama Shu made from Yamadanishiki from Hyogo Prefecture. Polishing ratio 50%, alcohol 16%. Sweetness from a fruity touch, thickening, and a crisp dry taste with a sake-like aftertaste. Postscript On the second day after opening the bottle, it seems to be more mellow? Delicious!

Sentori Snowman today. I finally got to drink it. It was perfect for today's cold weather. At first sip, I thought it would be sweeter, but it was quite dry, clear and refreshing. When mixed with Ory, the lactobacillus taste is stronger, slightly sweet, and the cider taste is stronger. It is a balance of lightness, clarity, and complexity! I was able to gulp it down and it was gone in no time😭.

Today is Kamikigen. The only drawback that I have noticed recently after drinking a series of delicious nama-shu is that I tend to be concerned about the freshness of the bottle after opening it and try to open a 4-gouple bottle. It's hard to keep up with that, so I decided to tear out my stock of nama-shu and open a bottle of the Kamikigen Junmai Daiginjo that I got from the Furusato tax payment. Polishing ratio 43%, 100% Aiyama It was smooth, juicy, gently sweet, refreshing, and in a good mood! I learned that Aiyama is called the diamond of sake rice!

Today we had Sentori. The first Sentori was a modern orikara. I see! That's how it is! Fine bubbles, shiny milky white color with a hint of corkage, lactic acidity, green apple-like fruitiness, complex silk! Lactic acidity, green apple-like fruitiness, complex silk!

Today's brewer is Kurosinin Kuheiji. It is a light nigori (light nigori), unpasteurized sake made from Yamadanishiki produced in Kurodano-sho. I bought it with reservations. As expected, it is fresh, fruity, and has a nice bitterness!

The cold weather is continuing, so I bought a set of hot sake heater. Sawanotsuru-san was selling a sake warmer that makes it easy to heat up sake. Good old Nada sake. Traditional Japanese saké! It's fun.

Otters today. Fruity sweetness, mellow umami, and a little sake-like dryness and bitterness at the end? However, it goes really well with today's dinner, oyster nabe from Hiroshima! I don't mind the aftertaste when paired with a meal, or rather it is good! I feel very good about the fact that they are making an effort to provide a stable supply of sake, not some rare sake that you can't get your hands on. It can be drunk casually but has dignity. The thick lid that makes it easy to open the bottle is also gentle.

Obuse winery Soga's sake is brewed during the period when wine cannot be made. It has a thin, cloudy white color with a lactic acidity, but it also has layers of rice and fruit marbling, and a good amount of gas. It may be truly "erotic. The cork is a nice touch. Thank you for this rare and delicious sake.

I was too impressed with Jikin Hachitan-Nishiki Nama, so I went out in search of Jikin. This one has a more traditional sake taste than the Hachitan-Nishiki Nama. It is delicious. It has an elegant sweet and sour taste with a slight bitterness (minerality?) at the end. I felt there was a bit of bitterness (minerality?) at the end.

Kurodasho's Yamada Nishiki, and brewed exclusively with rice certified by the company's own four-star evaluation standard, is called "Kurodasho" in Japanese. The rice is called "Inone" because it is the "root of life. It tastes basically the same as a regular Yamadanishiki Junmai Daiginjo (which, by the way, is twice the price), but it has a more dignified, luxurious taste! Gorgeous, fresh, clear, but mellow as if clad in a thin robe of feathers! Delicious! It's so delicious! The workmanship of the label on the back is also wonderful. I felt the soul of the maker.
