Purchased at a store at Lake Ashinoko It is what we call tangy and dry, but that is only at first. It has a slight bitterness at the end and the aftertaste makes you want to take another sip. I think it is an all-around sake that goes with everything.

Purchased at Odawara liquor store There were many different labels of sake brewed by a revived brewery in Kaisei-cho, but after much deliberation, I settled on this one. Light aroma and rich flavor reminiscent of a festival night. A youthful, taut, energetic sake." The label reads. It is indeed fresh, slightly citrusy, and light, but it is not only light but also full of flavor. The label says that the sake we purchased was produced in July, so it must be a summer sake. It is a little disappointing to think that it would have been even more refreshing to drink during the hot season, but it is very good when you are looking for a refreshing drink even in this cold season!

Purchased at Koshinkan, a sake brewery-owned store Mellow mouthfeel with a soft lingering aftertaste. The brewery says it aims to be the ultimate food sake, and it certainly is! It is very easy to drink and tastes great without being overpowering with food. This time we paired it with sashimi and tomato nabe, but it can be served with Japanese and Western-style meals as well! As expected from Gunma's popular sake Basho! It is relatively easy to find, so please try it!

Purchased at Roadside Station Fujimi They use Hitomebore from the Fujimi area of Maebashi City. You can feel the slight bubbles of fermentation that is only possible with unpasteurized sake. It may be a little sweet, but it is very tasty and has a nice sharpness. It has a soft and gentle flavor. Why don't you look for it when you visit Akagisan?

Purchased at Roadside Station Amaraku It has a robust flavor, just like hiyaoroshi. You can feel the fullness of the rice, and the soft sweetness lingers in the aftertaste with moderate acidity. I thought it was very good as a food sake. We paired it with cod roe as the weather got colder and it was very delicious!

Purchased at Otone Brewery in Numata A limited-edition Tsu They use Gunma's "Wakamizu" rice. It has a soft rice flavor due to the ogara-mi (a bit of a dry sake), but also has a moderate acidity. However, it is not too sweet, and perhaps due to the second fermentation in the bottle, it has a slight sourness to it, making it rather refreshing. It is not often seen in the market, but if you see it, please try it! Delicious!

Purchased at a roadside station in Oga I had heard of this sake in the last year or so and was very, very curious about it. A completely new sake using agave, the raw material for tequila! The rice and koji are both produced in Akita Prefecture. It is fruity and rich with a pleasant acidity. The alcohol content is 15%, which makes you wonder if it is high in alcohol. They call it "craft saké. Tequila? I wondered if it was okay, but I was impressed that it was finished at a very high level. I feel like I'm going to drink too much of it, so I want to drink it carefully. Oh, it's delicious!

Purchased at a liquor store in Annaka The label is eye-catching macho. Despite its appearance, it is fruity. It is a very tasty and modern sake! This is an ambitious sake made from a blend of Omachi 32 and Aizan 68! The first sip is a melon! It has a fruity taste that makes you say "melon! It has a slight bitterness that lingers on the palate, perhaps due to the minerality and hard water. It has a presence and weight that brings out the best of both Omachi and Aizan. It is a popular sake, so please try it if you see it under other labels!

Purchased at Kyoto Station This sake has a mineral taste, but is very refreshing. It also has a gaseous taste that enhances the freshness of the sake. Since it is a light sake, I thought it would be better with sashimi, as it would be drunk like water with strong flavored dishes.

It is a gift from a friend. Thank you. It is a sake from Nada. It is very easy to drink and delicious, just like a Junmai Daiginjo! The mouthfeel is slightly mineral, and the fruity flavor comes through softly. It is soft and not too sweet, but it leaves a slightly tangy aftertaste that makes you want another sip! I usually drink mostly sake from the north, but sometimes I think that sake from the west is also delicious.

Purchased at Michi-no-Eki Ukita-no-sato Made with Fusanomai sake rice produced in Chiba Prefecture. The mouthfeel is dry and crisp with a fruity aroma that fills the mouth. I have the impression that most Chiba sake has a strong flavor, but this sake seems to be finished gently while retaining its sharpness. It is a good sake to drink with food.

Purchased at a liquor store in Aizu Sakashita If you look closely, you can see that it is a 23rd year production. The yeast seems to be Fukushima Kirai. It is slightly cloudy, sweet, and fluffy, but it is dry and has a slightly effervescent acidity that is typical of the original sake. After that, there is a gentle sweetness. The sourness is not sour at all. It is very easy to drink, like a non-sweet Suzune. The lightness of Yamada-Nishiki is a nice touch. It seems to be a great first toast! I am always surprised when I wonder if this is a PB sake from a liquor store!

Purchased at Roadside Station Ushioji It is brewed in Hitachiota, using Hitanishiki as the sake rice, Hitachi yeast as the yeast, and the Kujigawa River system as the brewing water. The taste is crisp and clean, but the soft sweetness lingers for a long time and gives a sense of umami. It is recommended for those who like light and dry sake with a light mouthfeel.

Purchased at Shimazaki Sake Brewery This sake is made from 100% Yumesasara, a sake rice developed in Tochigi Prefecture. It is a gem carefully crafted by bag suspension. It is a so-called cloudy sake with a rich flavorful aroma and the sweetness of the rice can be fully appreciated. The sharpness and sharpness of the start and the clean aftertaste make it a sake that can be enjoyed on two levels. It is a very delicious sake, and I think it is best when paired with white fish and fruits that do not have any peculiarities. I had it with pears after dinner and was very happy to be able to enjoy it as a sake without disturbing the natural sweetness of the pears.

Purchased at Akita Station Small bottle due to luggage limitations The taste is firm for a Daiginjo. It has a moderate acidity and is very easy to drink without any peculiarities. I think it has a dry finish, so it has a sharpness and will not be defeated by meat dishes. I paired it with sautéed Pacific saury and mushrooms, which are full of flavorful ingredients, and it was very tasty.

Purchased at Akita Station I heard that they use an unfamiliar rice called Momota for sake rice. I think it was a limited quantity sake. The taste is crisp but fruity with a lingering aftertaste. The slight minerality is addictive and makes you want to drink another sip! I drank two glasses in no time. What a waste💦.

Purchased at a liquor store in Aizu Sakashita This is the first properly written sake that blends two different types of sake rice that I can remember. It is an interesting experiment. The ratio is 26 Yamadanishiki and 73 Fukunoka. Where is the other one? The taste is clean and has a good acidity, followed by a refreshing sweetness. I can also taste a little bit of minerality, which gives it a freshness. Very tasty!
