Saga/Takeo Onsen Collective Buy 6 This is the last bottle of the 6 bottles of Saga sake I bought. This is "Matsuura Ichi Special Junmai" that Taguri Sake Brewery specially orders from the brewery. The label is retro, but the balance is gentle and not too sweet. The image is that of a less sweet Nabeshima, but slightly more sake-like and rounded. It is good heated from room temperature in winter... Tonight's "tai shabu" will go well with it. I have never had much luck with Saga sake, but it's good! Everything was delicious. Thanks for the food 😋.

The liquor store I go to is open for business today, and I wondered if they had any of that stuff I wanted to buy at the end of the year left. I went to ...... to look for "Aoingo Pom Pom", which I have been wanting to drink for a long time. I've been drinking a little too much during the New Year's holiday, so the low 7% alcohol content will help me avoid guilt 😝. It is really "green apple juice". I am surprised that this sweet and sour taste like green apple is made from rice and rice koji. ‼️ Today's dinner is an arrangement of ingredients left in the refrigerator. It goes well with dishes that come to mind, such as tazukuri with nuts, fried egg with unohana, grilled bacon and potatoes with olive oil, and ozoni with leftover vegetables. ‼️ It is not sweet like liqueur, so it can be used as a food wine. Oh it was delicious, thanks for the treat 😋.

Saga/Takeo Onsen Hot Spring Collective Buy (5) We are enjoying our 9th consecutive New Year's holiday, and this is our first "Azuma Tsuru" while having fun making Tsumami. It has a slightly sweet, medium-bodied taste, but has the umami of Yamada-Nishiki. It is best served at room temperature or cooled down. It has a rounded taste without any cloying flavor. Tonight's main dish will be salmon roe served on top of a bowl of rice in soy sauce. It goes well with ‼️ I think it will go well with sashimi in general. I heard a light fizzing sound when I opened the bottle, so maybe the fizziness would be a little stronger if I drank it right after shipping. It tastes like Saga sake and I am very satisfied with it. Thanks for the treat 😋.

The accompaniment for the New Year's festive meal is "Shirotoroku" from Harushika Kuramoto, which was given to us as a souvenir from Nara. Since I drank it after an aperitif of thick yuzu liqueur, I couldn't taste the sweetness at first, but after a while, I began to recognize it as a slightly sweet, light, and umakuchi type of sake. It is a quiet accompaniment to the morning celebratory meal with a dish of dried bonito cooked in a sober bonito broth. I appreciate a good, quiet sake for a mid-morning drink. From the first day of the New Year, thank you for the feast 😋.

The aperitif for the New Year's Day celebration sake is "Masumi Yuzusake". I thought I would start with a light liqueur ...... for the first toast of the morning with the New Year's Day dishes on the table, but as expected from Masumi, it is very strong 😆. It is a solid, thick yuzu juice that is unquestionably delicious. ‼️ It is an aperitif that can be enjoyed by men and women of all ages. Thank you for the treat 😋 from the first of the New Year.

I had planned to drink bottles that I bought in bulk in Saga during the year-end and New Year holidays, but I still want to drink "Shiboritate" during this season. ❗️ I went to my favorite liquor store and chose Tsururei, which I was curious about at Sake no Wa. It is a fresh, light, and delicious sake. It's really a Niigata sake, but with a rich rice flavor and a sweet-sweet shiboritate feel. Delicious😍! On New Year's Eve, we had yukimi-nabe for dinner. From the strong mushrooms and pork belly to the udon noodles with ginger-flavored ume plum as a finale, the drinks went down a treat 👍. We had a lot of delicious sake this year as well. I wish you all a happy new year 🌅.

Saga/Takeo Onsen Hot Spring Collective Buy④. Saga Prefecture is known for Nabeshima ⁉️ and while I was curious about a local sake that I had never seen before, I still put it in one of my bulk purchases. This is my first time to try Akaban Oumachi Nabeshima. It has a sweetness that is typical of Nabeshima, but it has a flavor and fullness that is like Oumachi. I can't stop drinking it ✨ It's really delicious 😊. We didn't make it to the brewery this time, but next time I'd like to go to the Kashima brewery tour: ❣️ Thanks for the food 😋.

Saga Takeo Onsen Hot Springs Collective purchase (3) Hizen Kurashin is recommended to be heated from room temperature to warm. This is the first time I have had this brand. Many hiyaoroshi are quite heavy, but this one is soft. It has a strong flavor, but it is gentle and cohesive. Today's dish is a miso nabe with oysters and tofu. The richness of the oysters and miso is not overpowering, but they go together in a rounded way. I would love to try this classic sake. I wonder if you have to go to Saga to find it. ⁉️ Oh, it was delicious. Thanks for the treat 😋.

I went to "Sake CAMP" operated by Iinuma Honke on their premises. The facilities are somewhere between camping and glamping, and you can enjoy BBQ and bonfires with nothing 🔥. After the sake brewery tour, we tasted most of the bottles sold at the direct sales counter and bought the main four-pack for the camp, which was "Nao Kumi Nama Nama Sake ❗️". It starts with a light apple aroma typical of Koshi, but it is not too sweet and is very easy to drink with some acidity mixed in. It is not too sweet and is very easy to drink, with some acidity mixed in. Kouko is great to drink on the wooden deck next to the tent while sitting around a charcoal fire or bonfire 😍 We drank endlessly from the tasting around 3pm to the end of the bonfire after 9pm, ahhh it was so much fun. Thanks for the food 😋.

Saga/Takeo Onsen Collective buy (2) This is my first brand, but it is a raw sake that the liquor store highly recommends. It starts out with a melon-like fruity flavor that is sweeter than sweet, but soon the rich, dark umami comes in with a bang, and it finishes with a slight bitterness that is very refreshing. When it is just out of the refrigerator, it has a bit of an alcoholic taste, but if you let it cool in the glass for a while, the umami comes out in full force, and it is delicious. It has no peculiarities and has the taste of a classic sake, so it goes well with anything as a food sake. I think it would be easier to match with light-flavored western Japanese soups such as bonito soup stock, chinese chowder, light soy sauce, etc. It was delicious. Thank you very much for the meal.

Saga/Takeo Onsen for bulk purchases (1) I went on a trip to Saga earlier this month and took delivery of 6 bottles at Taguri Sake Shop in Takeo Onsen. This place has a super selection of Saga sake✨ Sakewa users must love it: ‼️ I was told that this is the latest arrival at Koei Kiku, but it has already been on Sakegawa 😆 "Sagabiyori" is new to me. It's a typical Kouei Kiku, but it has a core flavor with a strong rice flavor. The image of "full moon and spearman" on the label fits perfectly. I wanted to enjoy the change in flavor the next day, so I forced myself to leave about 1 gou of the bottle, but I really noticed that the 4 gou bottle was gone. Tonight, we are having udon sukiyaki with a lot of bonito broth. (I wonder if "chin broth" would be better for this dish. ⁉️) It was delicious 😋 Thanks for the meal.

Hirosaki Collective Buy (5) Last year, I liked Inamuraya Special Junmai, which was delivered from a liquor store in front of Aomori Station and drunk for the first time, because it was very local sake-like. So this year, I chose a different bottle of rice. Aomori's "Hana Sayaka" is a first for me. ❣️ It is light and refreshing. It is not only light and refreshing, but also gorgeous, which is also typical of Aomori. In addition, it has a local sake-like quality. ‼️ It goes well with the smoked scallops we happened to have today. Of course, it also goes well with the ponzu-flavored pork shabu for dinner! Inamuraya is my favorite brand 😍.

Hirosaki bulk purchase (4) Of the six bottles of sake we bought in bulk on our trip, we wanted to include one popular sake that can be purchased in the Tokyo metropolitan area, but whose name is well-known! I had a hard time deciding between "Tasake Special Junmai", "Hatsusen (I forgot what color label it was)" and "Toyobai Junmai Ginjo" at the store. After much deliberation, I decided that since I was going to buy it in Hirosaki, I had to go with Toyobai. Ah, I like Toyobai after all. ❣️ The balance between the full flavor, sweetness, acidity, and sharpness of the rice ✨ According to their website, this is the standard Toyobai. Toyobaika", "Toyo Shuku", etc. ...... Sake with the character "Toyo" in it may be a good match: ❤️

About a month ago, a Toyoshuku salesman visited my favorite liquor store. It was my first time to try this brand. As usual, I tasted all the bottles available for tasting. My husband, who loves traditional dry sake, raved about this one: ‼️ It is not only hot and spicy, but also refreshing and has a mild middle palate. It goes well with squid salted fish, shime saba (mackerel), yakitori (grilled chicken), tako-zu (vinegared octopus), and other classic Akachojin snacks 😋. This sake is a great way to get back to the basics of sake in between the slightly sweet, gorgeous, modern sakes ✨.

Hirosaki Collective Buying (3) This is the first brand I have seen. It is slightly sweet, but has a gorgeous and soft taste, and seems to be balanced by a slight acidity for a good aftertaste. It also has a Junmai Daiginjo-like elegance. As is typical of Aomori sake, it can be served with anything with a slightly strong flavor, including meat, fish, leafy vegetables, root vegetables, and other Japanese side dishes, such as soy sauce, miso, and salty seafood soup stock. ❣️ It is only in Aomori that you can find such a delicious sake brewery that you can only find in your hometown. Very satisfying 😋.

Hirosaki Collective Buying (2) The brewery is located on "Kuroishi Komise Street" and was closed when we visited. However, both of the all-inclusive hotels we stayed at during our trip to Tsugaru had Kameyoshi. It is a local sake that is loved by the locals from the very beginning👍. It is the perfect sake to go with any Tsugaru ryokan cuisine. It has a pleasant, full-bodied, medium-bodied mouthfeel and is really easy to pair with food. I tried it at room temperature, warmed up, and on the rocks, and I recommend "at room temperature for Japanese food" and "on the rocks for Japanese/Western cuisine. ❣️ The "Bonchi-age" I happened to have after dinner and the Kameyoshi on the rocks was quite a marriage 😳. It's not fancy, but a very satisfying local sake in a humble way. Thanks for the treat 😋.

The third drink at the standing bar on my first visit was Yaemon, which I had never seen before. I told the staff that I wanted a drink that would go well with the mackerel cans, and that was dry but not too heavy, and they recommended it to me. Indeed, it is a dry sake with a beautiful rice flavor, slightly floral and light and easy to drink. Perfect for mackerel cans. ❣️ The standing bar here serves only a few canned foods as snacks, and when you order from the sake menu of about 20 varieties, they pour it into a 130 ml glass. They leave the bottle in front of you for a while so you can take your time to take pictures of the label 😊. It was a nice space with a stylish counter where you can stand and drink at a reasonable distance from the person next to you. Afterwards, we broke up with a bowl of kitsune udon at a great standing udon restaurant in the neighborhood. It was quite a satisfying drinking party👍

The second drink at the standing bar I visited for the first time was this one I was curious about at Sake no Wa: 💁‍♀️. The label says it is dry, but it has a refreshing mid-palate taste that lands lightly after a moment of richness and dryness. There was no food at the restaurant we visited, so we had canned corned beef and mackerel as snacks. I could have easily drunk the wine with that alone. I would like to try other bottles from this brewery 😋.

Hirosaki Collective Buying ①. In early September, I visited Aomori Tsugaru during my summer vacation. This time, I bought sake in bulk from Miura Sake Shop in Hirosaki City. I took home delivery of 6 four-pack bottles of Hirosaki and Kuroishi 🚚. First up was Hirosaki's Rokune. There were sapphire and ruby, and after much agonizing and worrying, I chose the one with "beautiful sweetness and a clean aftertaste" on the liquor store's pop-up. Really, the first sip is more on the sweet side, but it is clean and easy to drink! The base is Aomori sake, so it goes perfectly with soy sauce, miso, and salt-flavored local dishes. Tonight, we are serving simple side dishes to go with the Aomori sake. Vinegared octopus, edamame with salted kelp, boiled corn, pea salad with bonito flakes, and potato cod roe salad ...... go together so well😍! I'm going to stop eating western style dinners for a while and plan to eat simple side dishes and drink Aomori sake ❤️ I'm really looking forward to it 😋!
