It's a spring haze, after all. It's not just cute. Not so much rugged. but it is a pleasantly salty and well-made sake. It is also hard to find a beautiful aftertaste. I look forward to Haruka's new sake every year. Even with instant ingredients, I am satisfied and content.

Minami, one of my favorite brands of Kochi sake The brewery that produces Minami's brand for the prefecture is Tamanoi. I became a fan after taking a sip. It is light, clean, and spicy, with a delicious rice flavor in the aftertaste. It is an amazing sake that I have not had in a long time. It is a special honjozo that makes you drink it, and the taste is unbeatable. The strongest local sake. Speaking of Setsubun, I like sardines best instead of ehomaki. Pour cold sake over grilled fish. The sharp spiciness is too good. This sake would be absolutely delicious heated up. I'll be patient and leave it for today.

A sake for sake drinkers who feel the goodness of barrel sake at the forefront. A real sake drinker's sake in a good way and a bad way. Smells of alcohol, barrels and rice wine. It packs a punch. However, the strong smell of the barrels is also offset by the spiciness of the Kochi sake. A perfect balance. It's a sake that can be drunk by itself, but if you have oden, I don't know, it's not a sake to drink on Sundays.

It is very difficult to choose the right souvenirs when traveling. Should I choose a sake that can only be purchased in the prefecture, such as Yamahai or Shinshu from major breweries like Urakasumi or Ichinokura, or should I buy a real local sake like Sawanoizumi, Atago no Matsu, or Wagashikuni? It's a happy choice. Miyagi-shu is one of the most well-balanced sake in the Tohoku region, and I personally have a very high opinion of it. Everyone should go back to the basics and try Miyagi-shu again. Now, should I buy Wataya's nama-hara or Ichinokura's barrel sake? 。。。。。。 I wish someone could tell me the right answer.

Hi Maruwa 🐦. Nice colored hot water 😊It looks like it will do wonders ♨️ Both bottles are very attractive and I want both 😆 I have the same pattern of souvenirs 💦. Which one did you choose?

Good evening, Pon. It was good hot water. By the way, the smell of sulfur was great. As a souvenir, I bought a bottle of Ichinokura Honjozo (pure sake). I heard that barrel sake does not have much aroma, so the brother of the liquor store recommended me to go with it.

Glad you got a good souvenir 😉👍. It's important to ask the store owner 😊. Thank you 🙏.

First time in Naruko Onsen in three years. High quality sasakama and Miyagi's inland sake. Miyagi Prefecture is not only famous for its sake from the sea, such as Urakasumi, but also for its inland sake such as Ichinokura, Sawanoizumi, and Tenjomugen, all of which are very drinkable. Good sake. Today's Tenjomugen is a May 2010 bottle that has been sitting in the refrigerator of a local liquor store. With a cold beer. Three days and two nights at a hot spring resort, nothing to do but laze around, take a bath, drink sake, and watch Amazon Prime. Luxurious fun.

Good evening, Maruwa 😊. Staying at a hot spring hotel in Naruko Onsen for a couple of nights in a row with a relaxing bath ♨️ and sake 🍶 and Amazon Prime is a luxury 👍. I am interested in Tenjo Mugen because I had a nigori last year and it was good.

Hi, Hiraccio. Tenjo Mugen is a good sake. It is a well-balanced sake, neither too flashy nor too subdued, and it is also delicious warmed.

Takekaku is the sake of Masan's parents' family, which was a morning drama some years ago. It is famous as a heavy sake, but I had never had a chance to try it before. It has a smell and taste more reminiscent of whiskey than a food sake, and is best at room temperature. It is more like a whiskey than a sake. This is a true Japanese whiskey. (This is just my personal impression).

Toichi bought on a business trip to Fukuoka. I thought it was a standard Saga sake. Sake that feels fashionable when it is a ginjo Junmai class, it is a classical sake that you can drink It is a classical sake that you can drink forever. Nabe and hot sake on a cold day. I went all the way to Fukuoka to buy this sake, but my local liquor store was selling Toichi. Why did I bring a huge suitcase for a one-night business trip?

Himi yellowtail was on sale at a local fish shop. As a show of support, or rather It looked delicious, so I bought a fence. It was not New Year's, but I bought a fence. Hometown tax return gift, Tokigen. Ishikawa's sake is Tengumai, Tedorigawa, Tsunekigen, Kikuhime, and Sogen, All of them are famous for their Yamahai sake. All of them are good sake to drink warmed up. First of all, I would drink it cold because of the sashimi. Good sake is good both cold and warmed. The fish is good, but so is the sake.

When it comes to Yamagata sake, I definitely go for Kamikimoto. It has a dry taste with a sake strength of +12, but it is not too refined and clean, and has a strong flavor. It is a very safe and stable Kamikigen. You can drink it forever, drink a lot of it, and it is definitely wallet-friendly. Winter has come, and fish is delicious. A glass of Spanish mackerel. I am happy. I'm getting tired of leftover eggplant peppers.

Hi, Hiraccio-san. Shimejirizuru is a good sake that embodies the high level of everyday Niigata sake that Mr. Hiraccio mentioned. It has its own taste for flowers, its own taste for the moon, and its own taste for snow. Each has its own flavor.

Kimchi nabe in the kotatsu while watching the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra. Kamo Kanehide, fruity ginjo aroma discreetly fragrant, followed by umami. Very satisfying sake. As it cools down, the acidity becomes more noticeable, which is also delicious. Hiroshima sake is full of flavorful, umami taste, and is delicious. I will update the Taketsuru later. I'll let it rest for a while.

Good evening, Mr. Hiraccio. This is the New Year's Concert. This year, even I, an amateur, was able to enjoy the well-known songs that we play in the music class at school. Kamo Kanehide looked like a glamorous modern sake, but it had a core of strong and smooth taste.

January 1, I had a stiff drink in the morning at Osechi. Woke up from a nap and had another drink. Jungin Nama sake, a new sake from Tamagawa. It has a ginjo-like ginjo aroma for a Tamagawa sake. It's good for New Year's. The rice flavor and the ginjo aroma are typical of Tamagawa, and it's good with high yellowtail sashimi and leftover stewed eggplant from lunchtime. The earthquake in Hokuriku struck early on New Year's Day. Ishikawa, Toyama, Fukui, Niigata too, I am a Hokuriku sake lover. I was shocked and depressed on my own. I thought, "This is not good," and made a donation through Yahoo! I made a small donation through Yahoo! https://donation.yahoo.co.jp/ I hope you will do the same.

Thank you for your hard work this year. I had a bowl of wasabi while watching Kohaku. This is the Japanese winter. Last year's Meikyoshimizu Japanese Winter was crisp and dry, but this year it was more in vogue. It has a sweet and juicy modern taste. I'm going to warm up the sake and drink it slowly.

I had always wanted to try Hiroshima sake, Houken and Tenpouichi. First, a new super dry sake from Houken. The rice is Hachitan-Nishiki. It is a very easy-drinking sake with a light, spicy taste when chilled. It is a perfect match for fatty Spanish mackerel for New Year's Day. When heated, the umami flavor comes through and you can drink it endlessly with kinpira root vegetables. A good sake.

Christmas and cleaning are over and the mood is already New Year's. We started the first new sake of the year with Shichibon-Yari. This is a freshly pressed, unpasteurized sake from Tamaei, a standard Shichibonspear brand. The crisp, fresh taste is followed by the usual bitterness and umami. The hard-core Shichibonshurai is fresh and easy to drink when it is new. Enjoy the sweet Datemaki with hot sake. It's so good!

Nagano sake is clear and can be drunk forever. It is easy to drink like white wine. My favorite is Meikyojosui. It has a refreshing lightness, a delicious sake flavor, and a spicy and sharp aftertaste. Changing the temperature gives a different impression. It is fun to check which temperature range is best for each sake, from cold to warmed. This Yamae-Nishiki Junmai-Ginjo came out when I was cleaning out my refrigerator for the end of the year, and I enjoyed it very much.

Denshin. Fukui Recommendation. Denshin is a sake for special dealers from the brewery that makes the classical sake "Ippongi. Denshin is a sake for special dealers. Although Denshin is for distributors, they also make aruzome and dry sake that is not too flattering, so I support them. Now, Denshin hiyaoroshi. This is delicious. It is spicier, but has a sweetness of hiyaoroshi or roundness. The aftertaste is clean and tasty, with a hint of sake's umami, bitterness, and sweetness. This is the power of Fukui sake. When heated, the drinkability changes dramatically. It has a square, bitter taste that makes it hot. It is also delicious.
