Oze no Yukidoke純米大吟醸 桃色にごり

シカタロウ
Today is the thawing of the snow in Oze. The warm sunshine is a complete change from yesterday's cold weather. Plum blossoms are blooming beautifully. Spring nigori sake. Beautiful peach color. Contrary to expectations, it has a refreshing sweetness. Lactic acidity. If you call it juice, it is juice, but it is so good!

Sentori today. After yesterday's classic, modern. Solid. You can see the difference well. Sharp, complex acidity and chiliness with a slight fullness. Modern like a beautiful sparkling white wine. Goes well with today's seafood pasta. As the temperature rises, the sake-like flavor comes out more. The vibrant crane lettering on the label. The bottle has a beautiful appearance.

Nabeshima the other day. We even have Lord Nabeshima make an appearance. He is a master of his craft! I only remember that I was so excited. This seemed to be the last sake. But more importantly, we changed the restaurant and drank highballs and other drinks. I don't remember anything from the middle of the after-party. Shinsei → Jikin → Jyukin → Jyushidai → Sando → Kido → Kaze no Mori → Isoboast → Kagatobi → Shinsei → Shinsei → Shinsei → Nabeshima + beer + highballs + α I am ashamed of myself. After all those nights of vowing to drink the same amount of water as sake, I made the same mistake again. What a viciousness this time, even though all the sake was rare and rare. The price was even more than I had bargained for, but I had to pay for my junior colleague's sake as well, and of course I missed the nearest station and had to take a cab home from an unknown location. Despite the lightness of my wallet, the weight of the credit card debt weighed heavily on me. The next morning, I arrived in hell with a hangover. But I'm glad I made it home safe and sound, without encountering any accidents or incidents. Good drinks and a fun night were the real thing. Thank you very much, God of alcohol.

The other day, I was proud of the rocky shore. It is said that President Sato of Niimasa was so impressed by Isobojiman that he became interested in the family business of sake brewing, the Isobojiman (brand name unknown). I drank it for the first time. Perhaps it was because I had been drinking fruity sake for a long time, but I was surprised by its crisp taste. I remember this one. Honjozo, like Jyushiyo, is not to be underestimated.

Wind Forest the other day. This is another sake I wanted to drink. I love Nara and I've been there many times and had some sake, but this is probably my first time in Kaze no Mori. I don't know Akitsuho 657, so I can't compare it to how Next is, but I think it was delicious! I mean, I don't remember it well!

A recent birthplace. Kumamoto sake I wanted to drink. Miraculously restored in recent years, it is said to be a rare sake brewed with "homase," a native Kumamoto species from the Edo period that was naturally cultivated on the company's own farmland and by farmers in the Kikuchi River system. Fruity and complex. I have been impressed with Kumamoto's sake ever since I drank Kuma shochu. However, we, who are so excited about good sake, end up regretting it when we have a beer as a chaser.

The other day, the 14th. The Secret Tamagase, which is said to have ignited the Jyushidai boom. It is hard to believe that it is a honjozo. The name "Hiden Tamagase" comes from the fact that the alcohol added to the shochu is pure rice sake lees shochu made by the company. When I looked on the Internet, I found it in a terrible state: 48,000 yen for a bottle. It is still good. Thank goodness for that.

The other day, Jikin! I never thought I would see this season's Hachigannishiki raw again. It was my first love sake, so to speak, that got me into the sake swamp. It was a shock to me that day when I realized how different it was from the sake I had been drinking at random, including some well-known brands. I was thrilled to be able to drink it again because I thought I would never be able to drink it again. Delicious!

The other day, a new policy. No.6 X type It has gone. It was great. It tasted like some kind of wonderful music playing in my head🎶. A good night out with a group of casual friends. I was so excited about the No. 6 from the first hand, it was too great, and it was a night I had to get out of the frame of mind.

Good evening, Mr. Shikatarou! XTYPE is good. ⤴️ It's delicious 😋. Sometimes you have to miss the mark 🎵. What a shitty night 😁.

Thank you, ma-ki-. I can't tell you how many times I've made this mistake 😭 and yet again, I was so hungover that I couldn't work the next day. My family's eyes were as white as a bottle of X-type 😱.

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😭.
