The first sip was a bit sour, but after two or three sips, a round sweetness emerged.
I have never tasted a Junmai sake with a rice polishing ratio of 70%, but it is interesting. 780 yen

Long time no post.
To finish off after beer, I paired it with leftover salted squid.
At first sip, a fruity sweetness that is not of rice spreads. The mouthfeel is refreshing.

It's been a while since I had such a sweet, ginjo-scented sake. The usual regular sake is good, but sometimes junmai ginjo is good too (laughs).

This sake is easy to drink, just like Niigata's Kamizen Josui. Slightly sweet and easy to drink. Cheap and good!

Nihombashi (a sake named "Nihonbashi") from Saitama Prefecture. Honjozo, polished rice ratio 70%.
Not too dry, not too sweet. Not dry, not sweet, but a little sweet. It's not dry or sweet, but it's got the richness of sake that makes it delicious. It was the first time I drank this type.
I paired it with oden (white rice), but I think it goes well with all meals. I don't know... (laughs)

Happy New Year to you all. I hope you will join me for another round of drinks this year.
I'm already out of the slaughterhouse mood, and I don't know how many brands I've bought, but I wanted to drink some unpasteurized sake at a liquor store I found while walking.
When I opened the package, I heard a puffing sound and smiled. It was sweet and pleasant to the palate, but something about it made me feel drunk. The alcohol content was 19 degrees.

Drunken Whale is everyone's favorite food sake. It is dry and goes well with fish. You can feel the sweetness and aroma of the rice, and it has a refreshing aftertaste. It's also cheap.
It goes well with fatty seasonal fish. I'd like to eat bonito seared with a glass of Drunken Whale when I can visit Kochi Prefecture on the After Corona.

I don't think I've had a Junmai Ginjo this sweet in a long time. Maybe it's because when I drink at home or out, I tend to drink spicy sake to go with my meals.
I bought this sake on the recommendation of a woman at a liquor store I happened to pass by, and it says "Sakura🌸" on it, so it must be on clearance.
This is the first time in Japan that a next-generation additive-free process using lactic acid bacteria has been patented. It has the aroma of peaches and the sweetness of fruit yogurt (maybe not the sourness).
Now, I wonder if it goes well with firefly squid (boiled)... (laughs)

The sake rice is a blend of Miyamanishiki and Hitogochi from Nagano Prefecture. The rice polishing rate is 70% on the label, and 60% on the official website which I accessed from the QR code. I wonder if it's 70% because it's not called Ginjo. I don't care, though (laughs).
The official site says, "We aim to make Junmaishu that can be drunk deliciously warmed. The official website says "We aim to make Junmai-shu that can be enjoyed with warmed sake. But it's more fragrant and smooth when heated, and it goes well with meals. I'll try it warmed up next time.

I was attracted to the naming and label design (lol), and it's a Junmai Daiginjo. It's more light than fruity, and it goes well with meals.
It looks like four breweries in Yamagata are putting out seasonal sake in order. I'm interested in the order.

祖父の出身地、佐渡のお酒。北雪の純米吟醸、ロゴがいつもの北雪と違うプライベートラベルとかいうやつ。ラベルには書いてないけどお米は五百万石？精米歩合は麹米50%の掛米55%,
お米の甘味、旨味もありつつスッと切れる辛口。自宅でのお酒の量が増えてきた…。

キンミヤで有名な三重県の宮崎本店の日本酒。特徴が無いというか、弱い感じ。普段飲みにいいかもだけど好みじゃないなー。

名前に惹かれて。ちょっと特徴薄いかな〜な純米酒。十分美味しいけど。
定期的に木場公園で開かれる「新酒まつり 八丈島物産展」にて。隣はもつ煮。イベントなので、お値段は高め。
このイベントは東京の酒蔵のお酒が集まるのだけど、お酒の種類もそんなに多くなく、フラッとダラダラとが正解。よくある日本酒イベント的なものを期待しないこと。公園の紅葉見たり周りの人見たりで気取らない感じが良いです。隣には八丈島のクサヤもあるよ！確か来週までなのでまた来よう。
