I was looking forward to the Mid-Autumn Moon and Harvest Moon, but it was cloudy... so I'm going to watch the moon with my evening drink. It's a classic, but the palate is new age.
Hissaki, Nabeshima, the first classic.
100% Saganohana
When I heard "classic", I imagined a legacy taste, but it has a pure taste similar to Ottersai. It goes well with anything.
We'll be having the one and only rare spec sake again this year.
It's fresh, dark, and delicious, with a touch of sourness and bitterness at the end that goes with everything and nothing.
Today, we'll start with edamame bread from pain stock.

Low-alcohol junmai sake with an alcohol content of 6 degrees.
The citrusy acidity matches the refreshing sweetness, and it's gooey. It's juice-like, but it doesn't taste cheap. It must be good water.
All Omachi rice is 70% polished.
The rice is polished to a level where the flavor of the rice can be fully appreciated.
The sweetness of the umami and the slight sourness make it more of a bar sake than a food sake.
I bought a limited edition of my favorite sake brewery, Morinokura, at the online sake brewery opening! It has a faint gassy taste, but it's not sweet at all, it's elegant and refreshing!
We bought the Ura Junmai, which is usually only available at sake brewery openings, at the Fukuoka Online Sake Brewery Opening. It's a slightly dry, unpasteurized sake, which is good because it's fragrant but not overpowering.
Yume Ikken rice produced in Fukuoka Prefecture is used. It has a firm body and is good for drinking during meals. I wonder if the name of the brand comes from the Hoshuishi of the merged Hoshuyama village.
It was originally supposed to be exported to North America, but due to "various reasons" it seems to be available at a lower price. I don't think the idea of trying to warm it up would be foreign to me.
For the first time this year, in conjunction with the fall foliage. It's not Momiji, it's Yuzuriha.
100% Yamada-Nishiki from Itoshima Island, Fukuoka Prefecture, and all of it is sprinkled with "water in a good way".
This year, the label changed and five bridges were on full display.
The rich taste of the sake from the prime of sake making, even people who don't like legacy sake can enjoy this one, but this year's sake might be more towards the legacy side. It will be interesting to drink it warmed up.
V1116 Wine Yeast
I bought this sake because I thought it would go well with beef stew and peach mozzarella.
It has an elegant taste, as it has an alcohol content of 13 degrees.
Would it be better if it was chilled more?
Natsuzake (Summer Sake): All used by Matsuyama Mitsui from Ehime Prefecture.
It has a smooth texture and rich flavor.
The sweetness retracts when paired with a meal.
I thought it might be a dessert wine, but it's interesting.
Summer Junmai-Ginjo Genshu on the Rocks
I bought it at Michinoku Yume Plaza, attracted by the cute label.
I've heard it has a rich, delicious taste that won't be defeated even if the ice melts.
Summer.
