I went on a one-day trip to a hot spring in Wakayama. Since I was there, I had a drink at an izakaya (Japanese style bar) near the station. The bonito in Wakayama is delicious! Mochi bonito in early spring is also good, but the fat from the returning bonito goes well with sake. Taiheiyo is a big-boned sake that goes well with heated sake. The Yamahai was wonderful. I think it's been a while since I've had a Yamahai. It's good to go out for a drink once in a while.

Good evening. It's a hot spring in Wakayama city. I didn't know about this restaurant. If it's a good place, I'd like to go there too. I'd like to go there when I get settled in...

Good evening. Fittingly, it was a nice and lively place with a lot of young people. The sake selection was just as good as the Pacific Bar, with a large bottle of Pacific sake for 800 yen, and there were many old men in the bar. It was a nice place.

When you start buying liquor on the Internet, you tend to overbuy to get free shipping. I have a house full of hiyaoroshi. It's wonderful. Now, Matsumidori Jungin, 55% Miyamanishiki polished rice. Hiyaoroshi-ish hiyaoroshi. It is a rounded and gentle sake. It has a hint of bitterness and is perfect for a mid-meal drink. I bought it because the new sake was good, and I am glad I did. This is delicious.

Hi Maruwa. I've been trying to do the same 🫡. I recently imitated Maruwa-san, I'm heating up sake. I've been trying to follow Maruwa's example and warm up the sake. I'm not sure if it goes well with sake, but my wife is a I'm not sure if it's a good idea or not, but I'm not sure. I'm not sure if it's a good idea.

One of my favorite foods, satsuma-age. A good snack for sake. I am a lazy person, but I don't cut corners either. I grill it on the grill. The sake to go with it was Tochigi's Ona. Since I drank Tochigi sake at a department store a few years ago, I've been drinking either Chuai or Ona. This sake claims to be super spicy, Even when chilled, it is not spicy, but rather has a pleasant umami taste. It is not spicy even when chilled, but rather has a pleasant umami flavor. This is not good. I drink too much from noon.

Good evening, Maruwa 😃. Satsuma-age! The searing process gives it that extra something 😋. And there's Ohna-san's super spicy ‼️ This one is too good to be bad 🤗 Enjoy Kyokkyo and Souhyo too 👋

Shiga's sake, Kirakucho. When it comes to Shiga, Matsu no Tsukasa and Shichihon Yari are the most popular. Kirakucho is next on the list. Sake from Shiga can be drunk with peace of mind and calmness. Tonight's Jungin is also calm and gentle. Sake by a sake drinker who does not choose any snacks is wonderful. After drinking it at room temperature, I would like to try it lukewarm. It's finally autumn. It's the season for hiyaoroshi and heated sake.

Shoyuki is my favorite Shizuoka sake. Shoyuki's special honjozo. Aji (horse mackerel) and unusually prawns. Shizuoka sake is sweet in a refined way, but I think it goes well with fish. However, I think it goes well with fish. Not only fish, but also bonito and tuna are delicious. I hope Shoyuki will release another hiyaoroshi this year.

I got a bottle of Kaiun Hiyayogoshi. This may be the best news of the month. Well, since I'm here, I grilled some Akinata fish. The sweetness and deliciousness of Kaiun are wonderful. The gently fragrant sweetness of the unpasteurized sake is good, but the gradual sweetness of the hiyaoroshi sake is also very special. It is said that Kaiun never misses the mark.

Hello, Kouzou-san. I envy you that your wife's parents live in Shizuoka. It's nice that they have a lot of great sake including "Kaiun". However, in my case, I am afraid that my in-laws will look at me with a white eye if I drink too much.

If you are a sake lover and hear that you like Kido, your personal likability will explode. Kido's junmai and junmai-dariguchi are amazing! It is well-balanced, soft, and easy to drink. When the temperature is raised, it becomes more mellow and captivating. A great sake at this price, regardless of the price. Dried squid. When I was young, I used to think that I didn't like squid, but now I'm a squid lover.

Hi Maruwa 😃 Kido is cosy and delicious 😊. In our case, when we hear that you like Tochigi sake, our liking level goes up 😆. Squid 🦑 is a versatile and indispensable partner for your entrée 🤗.

Aji sashimi with sudachi. Urakasumi was good after a long absence. It is a light sake with the deliciousness of rice. It is easy to drink as a summer sake, but it is a very good tasting sake. I recently drank Ichinokura and Urakasumi, I knew that Miyagi's sake was good.

I have always loved and eaten aki-togi fish, but in the past few years I have been turned off by the lack of fat and small size, as well as the high price, but.., However, I saw on TV that the catch this year was good and fatty, and when I saw fat akitogi lined up in the supermarket, I had no choice but to buy them. At 400 yen per fish, I miss the days when I used to be able to buy them for 100 yen, but I can't turn my back on them. Now, the akitogi. Delicious! No complaints. Let's eat a lot of swordfish this year. Personally, I like Ichinokura to go with fish. Ichinozo is good. The spiciness is so sharp and manly that it can cut the fat of the Akitohi fish in two. You will be very satisfied with the delicious fish.

Pride of Shimane. Nodoguro, Ten Rising Sun This is such a punchy sake. The fat of the nodoguro is unbeatable. It's delicious. Sake and nodoguro are the treasures of Shimane. Since I didn't go home for the Bon Festival, I only had some snacks.

I like Honjozo, but I like Special Honjozo even more. It is easy to drink because it is polished and has a sweet taste. The sharpness of the alsochrome is also very pleasant. This is my favorite of the special honjozo, Atago no Matsu, Kikusen, Mikuyo, and Shoyuki. A bowl of bonito sashimi. This Shizuoka ginjo sake is soft and sweet. and the meaty, lean bonito somehow went well with it. Delicious, delicious. I love Shizuoka!

Junmai Junmai Unfiltered from Shichida. I prefer Tenzan from this brewery, but it was no use if the liquor store in Hakata sold only Nanada. Good snacks make good sake. I don't mean to be rude to the sake brewer when I say this, but it's not true. This is a great sake. A modern sake with an excellent balance and a classic, relaxed taste. In conclusion, I can't get enough of good sake with aji sashimi. I am happy to drink Saga sake in Karatsu. This is also good.

I had been meaning to drink it, but forgot to do so. I was surprised when I drank it. It was so refreshing and easy to drink. I wonder how many years ordinary Tamagawa is aged for. The light Tamagawa is good as a food sake. You will not get tired of drinking it, but that is Tamagawa for you. It has a delicious rice flavor.

I went for a walk to a slightly larger supermarket that I don't usually go to. I thought the selection at the supermarket would be the same, but I was pleasantly surprised to find delicious-looking side dishes, dried bonito sashimi from Chiba, and scallops from Hokkaido. Well, a bowl of bonito. Watery sashimi doesn't taste good at all. But the special pure sake from Bikyuu is delicious. I gulp down the sake in my teacup. It's a shame to waste sake, but it's good. Kochi sake is booming these days. I like sake that is light and easy to drink. Not that it matters, but the morning drama "Anpan" is also interesting.

Last week I spent a week in Fukuoka on a business trip. I went with a colleague who loves to drink, so we were busy, busy, busy. We drank and drank. I was very satisfied. The photo shows Tenshin, a famous sake from Kokura, which I drink at my regular hotel. This is another stable sake, as usual. Souvenirs were Wakanami, Shichida, Matsuura Ichi, and Kitaya. The usual lineup. I have come to visit Kyushu by chance, and Kyushu is not only good for shochu, but also for sake. (To be honest, I drank only Kurokiri during my stay.)

Good evening, Matsuchiyo-san. Thank you very much. A reluctant choice, I think so myself. But Wakanami is a 70% polished honjozo, and it is a surprisingly easy-drinking, modern sake.

As an adult, I've come to appreciate the taste of a bowl of vegetables. Eggplant, green bell pepper, and deep-fried tofu with ginger soy sauce. I paired it with Hakkaisan, the king of Niigata sake. The Honjozo I had the other day was good, but the special Honjozo is also exceptional. Sake at room temperature sinks in!

Good evening Maruwa-san🍶. I also love to drink sake with tempura, nimizushi, and asazuke (lightly pickled vegetables). I think it's the best way to taste sake because it has no peculiarities.

Good evening, Mr. Matsuchiyo. Tempura with boiled and soaked vegetables, it's a great way to sip a glass of cold sake. I guess it's because it's a non-intrusive snack that it can be paired with any kind of sake.

Received two bottles of Tosa Shiragiku's top-selling wine with the Furusato tax payment. Unusually for a Kochi sake, it is a mellow sake with a strong umami flavor and a pleasantly sweet taste, just as the label says. It reminded me somewhat of sake from Ishikawa. The Tosa sake with a light dry taste is good, but the sake with a strong flavor that makes you want to drink it goes well with fish. Today, it is served cold. I would like to try it at room temperature or heated. Shiragiku is a quintessential Shiragiku, and this one is delicious!

When I was in Nagoya, I made business trips to Hokuriku and took the Shirasagi train to Fukui several times, but this is the first time I have had this brand. I drank this brand for the first time. It is a selfish image, but Speaking of fierce generals, Katsuie Shibata was a fierce general. His castle, Kitanosho, is actually located in Fukui City, and you can walk to the castle ruins from Fukui Station. The sake is a rugged, men's sake. Nostalgic and old-fashioned, this sake brings back fond memories when you close your eyes. It is summer. Chilled tomatoes are good.

Good evening, Kouzou. I don't know if I should say this myself, but I think "samurai man's sake" is an apt description. It's an old-fashioned sake that is not to everyone's liking.
