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 ✨.

Good morning, Jay & Nobby ☀☀☀☀☀. When I spoke to the salesman and said, "Nara is full of good sake breweries these days", he smiled and said, "Did you know ‼️?" and the amount of tasting increased 👍 If you see one, please try it 😋.

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 😋!

This is my first time drinking it at home. It seems to start with a hint of fruitiness, but it quickly becomes well-balanced and disappears gently. It really is a food sake that goes well with anything. I think the bottles with other colored labels that I drank outside a few times had a bit more character. ...... Is it because it is a standard Junmai sake that it is so plain? This bottle is quietly delicious 😋.

This is my first "Sansho" 🎉 I've been curious about it for a long time. I've been curious about it for a long time, but my regular liquor store didn't have it. ...... I finally got it at a new liquor store I recently visited, which is like a select store for sake 🌟. Is this really sake? 😳 It's almost like sparkling wine. Actually, I went on a trip to Aomori last week for summer vacation, and right after the Aomori's astringent local sake, it's hard for me to recognize this as sake 😅. But it's elegant, fine, and fine, with a nice sweet aftertaste and a restrained sweetness, and it's wonderfully delicious 😋 No wonder it's so popular. ❣️ I can confidently recommend it even to beginners who don't like Japanese sake. Thank you for the treat 😋.

I have had "Tedorigawa" several times when drinking out, but this is my first time drinking it at home. It is said to be "arabashiri," but it is not rough at all. It has a nice, floral flavor, and the gentle, clean mouthfeel is quickly cut off, making it a very elegant and tasty wine that is easy to introduce to beginners 😍. On the first day, I felt it was an easy food sake to pair with anything, but on the second day, it was not as good with sweet salted salmon or miso marinated cream cheese. I guess it goes better with Japanese side dishes that are more salty. ⁉️ At the liquor store where I bought it, Tetorigawa had one line, but Yoshidagurau had about five lines, so I wonder if the latest trend is Yoshidagurau 🧐 If you want to match it with Western-style side dishes, it's like Yoshidagurau, but if you want to match it with traditional Japanese side dishes, I would definitely say Tetorigawa. I love it ❤️

A salesman of "Gassan" visited the liquor store I sometimes go to: ❣️ I could not forget the delicious taste of "Gassan" that I drank in Shimane Prefecture, so I asked for a tasting with my highest expectations. We tasted a wide variety of sake, from the three standard fire-roasted sake to the seasonal summer sake and unfiltered unpasteurized sake. All were great, but the one we ended up choosing was this yuzu liqueur: 💁‍♀️ RISOPPA Risoppa, a kasutori shochu that we also tasted on its own, is a wonderfully elegant and well-balanced ❗️ The yuzu sake soaked in it has a quality of perfection on its own, without being alcoholic and without pushing the yuzu too far out of the bottle. Just drink it straight and you'll finish the whole bottle. It's a shame to dilute it with soda water. ❗️ Ahh, it was delicious. ❣️ Thanks for the treat 😋.

One of the sakes I bought for the three-day weekend was Senkori Senkohanabi. I chose it in anticipation that it would go well with all kinds of Japanese and Western home cooking, and I hit the jackpot 🎯. It has a light touch, but with a light fruity flavor like lemongrass or lychee, light acidity, sweetness, and a slight bitterness, it is very well-balanced and easy to pair 😊. The first day's main course was "grilled chicken wings with pakuchi and fish sauce" and the second day's main course was "grilled salted mackerel with garlic olive oil". I appreciate that it is so easy to match with home cooking. Ahh it was delicious ❗️ Thanks for the food 😋.

I have drunk Izumihashi, a sake brewery in the prefecture, many times 😊 I have the impression that it always has a robust taste and goes well with strong Japanese food. This time I bought it thinking, "It's a summer sake, it's pink in color, maybe a little light? I bought it from ...... After I got home, I read it carefully and found out that it is "18% Omachi with a fresh yeast yeast. It can't be light 😆. After all, it is a solid summer sake. It's not the best for our loose Japanese-Western cuisine, but it's not the best 😅 In the end, I enjoyed the sake by itself. The umami of OMACHI comes alive and it is mildly impressive. It must go well with beef or tuna 😋 Next time we will aim for a marriage 😋.

I had read in Sake-no-wa that Hououmida liqueur makes delicious grapes, so I kept thinking about buying it someday, and today I found it at my regular liquor store ✨ I bought it immediately 👍. It's really thick with lots of grape pulp. Unlike juice, it has a slightly subdued sweetness and a depth of alcohol. I haven't tried it yet, but I bet it would go well with Haagen-Dazs Rich Milk. When I find a bottle I want to drink, I get all excited and happy. It was a good Sunday 😀.

I wanted a sparkling drink, so I chose 💁‍♀️ here among the brands I haven't had yet at my usual liquor store. As expected of Yamamoto❗️ It is a dry sparkling and easy to match with Japanese and Western home cooking. ‼️ This sharpness is great. ❣️ Tonight, we are serving "Goya Wagashi", "Mentaiko Imo Salad", "Chicken Wings in Octagonal Sauce", and "Chicken Wings with Octopus". I made what I wanted to eat without considering the marriage, but it went perfectly. (In my limited experience, so far.) I recommend "Otters" if you like a little sweetness, "Kido" and "Skunk cabbage" if you like a little sweetness, and "Yamamoto" if you like a little spiciness. ⁉️ I would be happy to see more and more sparkling in the summer. Oh that was delicious ❗️ Thanks for the treat 😋.
