At the usual standing bar in T-city.
This is delicious! It seems to be well-preserved and fresh.
I feel like going on a Hokuriku sake-hunting trip!

Ubusuna2024 山田錦 二農醸
madamarr（まだまー
I bought it at a special distributor in Utsunomiya. I was wondering if they would have it or not, but they did, and I was lucky.
It's a stable "Shuwauma".
Incidentally, when I was in Yamagata the other day, I found it at a certain store (the same store where I received Jyushiyo). It seems to be popular even in the Tohoku region, which is famous for its sake.

Good morning, madamarr 😃.
YJ! Haven't been there for a while 🤔.
Maybe I'll go looking for a birthplace for the first time in a while 😃.

Ding-dong, you've hit the nail on the head.
I think the encounter rate is higher than that of the dealers in Tokyo.

Raifuku純米吟醸 夏麗
madamarr（まだまー
The summer sake league is in full swing these days, and this time we will be drinking Raifuku for the first time.
It is light in a good sense, or rather, it has a light and refreshing feeling, followed by a crisp and sharp taste. Refreshing!

My personal ranking of this year's summer drinks is a mixed bag.
There is no reason for the feeling that it is so delicious.
According to the label on the back, the water comes from the Nikko temple area. Speaking of Nikko, the water from Futaarasan Shrine is really delicious (I also enjoy fetching water), and I wonder if they use water from that area. Anyway, my ranking of this year's summer sake is really difficult. I will continue to enjoy it, as I am happy to be bothered by it.

Hi madamarr 😃
Mikumari-chan is also delicious and seems to be on the top of the list 🤗It's great that you even know the taste of the water at Nikko Futaarasan Shrine👍.

At the T station standing bar, as usual.

Is it a difficult-to-obtain type? I am aware of Ina and Agave. This is my first drink. I got it at a certain sake store in Saitama. It seems to be one of the United Arrows collaborations that have appeared in the sake world over the past few years.
It has a bitter hop taste like craft saké, with a sourness in the front and a little lingering ginjo aroma. It seems to go well with all kinds of food.

This is my first Kagoshima sake. Well, what do you think? It has a good balance.
Now I have only Miyazaki sake left in Kyushu. If you have any recommendations for sake from Miyazaki, please let me know.

Good morning madamarr😃!
Congratulations on your first Kagoshima sake ㊗️ 🎉Our first was also a tempest 🤗.

The party is over and I'm on the bullet train. It rained all the time this year, but it was a great event again this year. Thanks to all the organizers.
We had a lot of drinks, so I won't upload all of them. I'm not going to upload all of them, but here is this one. By the way, last year's was the best.
In a word, it has an excellent balance of spiciness and umami. At sake events, I always tell the sake brewer of my best sake that it was the best of the day. I did it again today. Did they get the message?
By the way, the taro stew was delicious. Thank you Yamagata, I will come again.

Hi madamarr😃
It was a great event where you could enjoy Yamagata Sake to the fullest 🤗Nice that you can tell ‼️ well today 👍.

I have participated in this event since last year, and it is a great event. There are many izakayas (Japanese-style pubs) around Yamagata Station where you can drink local sake, including Jyushiyo.
It seems that "It's the first one today" is quite a power word, and sake breweries are always happy to hear it. At first, I started this as a way of just saying thank you, but it makes me feel good to see them happy, so I've made it a habit.

This year, too, we are participating in the Yamagata Sake Fair, the most beautiful sake prefecture in Japan. Here is what was waiting for me at the end of the long queue. I had a hard time deciding, but I chose EXTRA. In a word, this one is exceptional.

The last sake I drank at a corner bar on my business trip was Kenkunichi. I guess this is my first time drinking Miyagi brand, which means I haven't had many Miyagi brands... This one is also sharp, crisp and dry. The aftertaste is enjoyable, too.

Next is Urakasumi. This is also a first for me, I guess.
It's dry, hard, and sharp.

I'm currently on a business trip, having a drink at a corner bar in Sendai station.
I think this is my first time to drink Katsuyama. The aroma and sweetness are fruity.

Summer Otozure, my personal summer sake winner the year before last, has already made its appearance. It is less acidic than before, but it has a rich sweetness that I really enjoy.
After that, I gulped down a cup of sake that I happened to find at another liquor store... This one has a Omine feel, but also has a cup of sake feel. This one is also good.
Comparing the two again, the Natsu no Otozure has more acidity, a difference I could tell by comparing them. Both are good, though.

I thought, "Isn't this the best summer dry wine? I thought it was the best summer dry wine.
（The balance of freshness, freshness, lushness, and dryness (as the back label says) is wonderful. I really want to drink it chilled when it gets a little hotter. Oh, I want to repeat this on a midsummer night!

The other line of Collage Miyazumi is Miyazumi.
It is a massive feeling. It is the same feeling as when I drank Hirotogawa, also from Fukushima, to feel that Sake is here. There is no doubt about its deliciousness.

Kamokinshu桜吹雪 大吟醸 出品仕込
madamarr（まだまー
A sake shop in Saitama says that it is an exhibit grade sake, so you don't see it very often. Is this the last year for Senbon-Nishiki to be brewed in the exhibit grade? I was deeply impressed by the fact that it would be a shame not to be able to drink it next year.
The apple ginjo aroma and rich flavor made me feel like a judge, just like the label on the back of the bottle says. I am sure it will win a gold medal again this year. It is delicious.

For some reason, I ran into this at a certain Parco in Saitama. I bought a can of Tazake, which was a little expensive but very cool.
I strongly felt that the truth is that Tazake Daiginjo is delicious whether it is in a four-pack or a can. The can has an amazing top-level ginjo aroma festival that hits you in the face after you open it with a crack. I strongly thought, "Isn't this can shaped like this so that I can smell this ginjo aroma? I strongly thought so. I want you to smell it once.

Iwanoi240 純米吟醸 美山錦 無濾過生原酒
madamarr（まだまー
Mineral" is my first impression (don't ask me what kind of first impression I have).
The 240 in the name seems to be the hardness of the water. In Japan, you don't often hear about water hardness, do you? According to the liquor store, the higher the hardness of the water, the more you can enjoy the taste change after opening the bottle, so please drink it slowly.
I have heard that the Kanto region in Japan has a higher hardness, and that the Kanto loam layer is one of the reasons, but I don't know anything about it. I don't know...but I've been eating it while thinking about how hard it must be in Kanto and by the sea....
It is rich in flavor, sweetness, and bitterness. I hope you will enjoy it too.

川鶴たのののた 生原酒

This is a draft sake from Kawatsuru Shuzo, the brewery behind Sanuki Kuraudei, which we had the other day. I like Sanuki Kuraudayi's variety, but this one had a fresh, modern, royal taste... but as I drank it, the spiciness and bitterness came out nicely, and the balance was good. It seems to be brewed with local Yamada Nishiki (from the Tanonoda area in Tanonoda). I look forward to more.
