Mimuro cedar today. Today is the second day of the new fiscal year, and it's cold in the flowers. It has a strong, lactic acidity, light and fruity, and gorgeous sake. Miwasan, the god of sake, and Ookami Shrine. When I visited there before, I might have only known that it is the oldest shrine in Japan and the one where Kazuhiro Kiyohara got married with Aki😅. Thank goodness for sake.

IWA5Assemblage 5 (2023)

IWA5 from Toyama Drink Comparison Special Set today At Antenna Shop Toyama Bar. Since we were there, we also had a bottle of IWA5. It was developed by a Frenchman who was the chief brewer of Dom Perignon. Well, this is interesting! In short, it's a blend of 5 different liquors? (According to the official description, there are about 20 original liquors 😅) Complex! Delicate but bold! I feel like it has many faces. Too bad it's a bit expensive and only 30ml 😅. According to the official description. "The exquisitely resonant warmth, gravity, and vitality expressed by Assemblage 5 are a distinctly avant-garde character, accentuated by the contrast between palette (flavor) and nose (aroma). Pure, balanced fruity and floral aromas with an austere, gentle depth that brings a definite sense of layering." I honestly don't know what that sounds like, but it's delicious 🥂 sebon!

Today's Toyama Drink Comparison Special Set at Antenna Shop Toyama Bar. We had a sanshouraku. It had been open for a while, so it didn't feel very fresh. The 18% alcohol content is quite heavy, but the taste is gentle and mellow. The sake rice is Yamadanishiki produced in Toyama.

Today's Toyama Drink Comparison Special Set at Toyama Bar in Antenna Shop Nihonbashi Toyama-kan. We had Haneya. After a smooth, gentle and fruity mouthfeel, it may be quite ricey. Hanabukiyuki is Aomori's sake brewing rice. The name was inspired by the cherry blossoms at Hirosaki Castle. Perfect for spring. It is also rated as having a good flavor of rice, which is understandable.

Today, it is a shop keeper. The first YAMAMORI. The yellow label stands out and looks great. The rice is not mentioned on the label, but it seems to be Hachitan-Nishiki, which I love. It was fresh and juicy, with a lingering bitter sharpness. It is sweeter than I expected, and I wonder if the sweetness is due to the orikarami. The name "Okunokami" written with "Yamori" is very Japanese.

Jay & Nobby, thank you ‼️✨And the gecko is on the label, and it's Okunokami 🦎 fashionable😎Toyoshimaya Sake Brewery's origins seem to pre-date the Battle of Sekigahara, and they've been serving sake in Tokyo since that time 🎶.

Today is Tasake. Junmai Daiginjyo 40%5%, 100% Akita Sake Komachi. As the name suggests, the rice polishing ratio is 45%. It was a summer-like day, skipping spring. We asked our stock of Tasake-den to make an appearance. It has a fruitiness like white grapes or green apples, a gentle sweetness, and a tangy, bitter finish. Very elegant. Delicious ✨

Today is cold chrysanthemum. Daiginjo made with Fukuoka's sake rice, Jushikinmu. It is said to be a spring tsukimi sake. It is gassy, silky, and lactic acidic. It is quite dry, and I felt it was an adult sake for a quiet evening, rather than a lively, boisterous one. Kangiku Meikozo is a romantic 🌙.

Today is Ishizuchi. The yeast cultivated from "Princess Michiko," a rose given to Princess Michiko by the Crown Princess Michiko from England, is used.

Hourai today. I almost forgot about this one, and it was just about to remain hidden. This is a commemorative sake that received 5 stars for 6 consecutive years in the World Sake Brewery Ranking 2024. It has a limited lot number. It is not watered down and has a "rich and powerful aroma with a deep umami flavor that is well pronounced. It has a rich, powerful aroma and a deep umami flavor with a pleasantly sharp aftertaste. The introduction says, "It has a rich, powerful aroma and a deep umami flavor with a pleasantly crisp finish. It is indeed powerful, but it is also rounded and mellow, ending with a dry bitterness. The fact that it is wrapped in newspaper and recommended to be served on the rocks is interesting and nice!

Yellow cherry blossoms today. FUKU no Hinshu. I was so preoccupied with spring sake that I almost forgot to buy and drink a cup of fukyu finshu. The last winter sake of the season? A cup of seared tiger puffer fish fins that can be heated in a microwave 🐡. Taste.... With all due respect, better than expected! Since it's not lit on fire, the flavor is not quite as good as the ones sold in Yamaguchi, but it's a super easy way to enjoy a cup of fin sake at home with a good price. I mean, I don't know what it is about fin sake, but it makes me excited 🎶. The yellow cherry sake itself has a full and gentle flavor. The seller of puffer fish fins is Shunpanro, a very high-end puffer fish restaurant. Let's buy some next season.

Today is the seventh wise day of the year. It was a cold rainy day, but a spring sake. It is gorgeous, mellow on the palate, and dry and sharp. The official description says, "A fresh aroma of green apples intertwined with a fine oriel." It is indeed. Indeed. Polishing ratio 70%. Alcohol 15%. Sake rice is Hitogokochi I can't wait for spring! This is totally unrelated, but 7-Eleven's salmon toba is really good. I love it.

Today is Tasake. Tasake's spring sake. It is still delicious! It is quite gorgeous, with a broad flavor and a dry bitter aftertaste that is addictive. Thanks to the aftertaste, it is not too sweet and goes down smoothly and never gets boring. I think it's a masterpiece. Sake rice is 100% Hanasoui Polishing ratio 50%. Alcohol 16%. It will soon be spring!

Today is Tsukiawase. Kochi is a place that holds a special place in my heart. I thought Kochi sake was light and dry, but this CEL-24 is very fruity and sweet, like a sweet white wine! I was surprised to find out why the letters of Shibobotan are upside down. When I think of Tsukibotan, I think of drinking dry sake together with cups of Okame, Hyottoko, and Tengu, but this sweet sake seems to be more cute.

Today is the day of the National Warriors. Since I can't open a four-pack of sake every day, I went to the supermarket and bought a small 300ml bottle. Polishing ratio 60%, alcohol between 15 and 16 degrees. The rice used for the sake is Comet from Hokkaido. Sweeter and mellower than expected. Slightly traditional flavor with a sake-like feel. Comet is a promising star of Hokkaido's sake rice (just because it is a comet) and is expected to produce a light-flavored sake. I like the name because it is cool.
