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 😋.

Hi Jay & Nobby. The next day, I paired only the last eight shaku with beef and we hit the jackpot 😋 A light blue 13° might be a bottle that you can enjoy lightly in a wine glass: ⁉️ Looking forward to checking in ✨.

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 😀.

Hi, Tsubu. I still love "Haagen Dazs Rich Milk" the best 😍 I bought 3 mini cups but it's not enough and I'm going to buy 3 more for this 3 day weekend. I'm gaining weight for sure 😆.

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 😋.

A sales person from Ippongi visited the liquor store I sometimes go to. I told him I wanted to taste the wines in order from lightest to darkest, and he allowed me to taste 6 different kinds in great order 🎉. I wanted to buy everything from Ippongi's junmai sake, which is delicious both warmed and cold, to Denshin's daiginjo, which was created at the request of a sushi restaurant in Fukui ❗️, but at the very end, the salesman let me try 💁‍♀️'s Denshin summer sake, which is too good on a very hot day ‼️. Today, we had squid salted and pickled in salt, summer vegetables, and salmon pickled in saikyo (Kyoto-style). ❣️ It's been a while since I've had a five-star 🌟. Oh, it's too delicious. Thank you for the food 😋. I'm sure it will go well with the cured ham and cheese recommended on the website 😊.

Bessho Onsen Hot Springs Collective Buying Last 6 This is my first drink of Kuroemon 16th Generation, which I was curious about at Sakegawa. When I buy in bulk on a trip, I try to mix a bottle of Yamahai or Namahashi, but after the delivery, I wondered if it was a mistake to choose Yamahai here, which is very popular these days. I was worried. But when I drank it, I found a wonderful balance of fruity, sweetness, acidity, and the firm flavor of omachi, which is hard to believe that it is yamahai at room temperature. This is the first time I've had a bottle that the brewery recommends room temperature and this is the first time I've had a bottle that is this current. I would definitely like to try this refrigerated bottle as well. I opened the bottle at the end of a meal today, so the only thing left on the table was a plate of steamed pork, mushrooms, and lettuce with sesame oil ponzu. ❗️ It also goes well with kaki-no-tane while watching a movie after dinner. ❣️ I think you can enjoy its individual flavor better with light side dishes and snacks. Oh, it was delicious, thanks for the treat 😋.

Sake Women's Party: Hot Weather (1) Last weekend, on a very hot day, we had a sake girls' party and drank a lot of beer, and we chose our favorite bottles of summer sake to take home in the order of who won the rock-paper-scissors-scissors game. This Kamo Kanehide is a refreshing summer sake. It has a light finish that flows easily. It goes well with vinegared food and pressed sushi. ❗️ It is also perfect with cold takikomi. ‼️ Dry food also goes well with it. ❣️ I failed to try it, but I bet it would go well with chilled tofu too ✨. But it doesn't go well with hot dishes, but it's not good enough 😆 I tried it with yakiniku at the end, but it's still normal 😅. It is an elegant summer sake that does not blur from the image of Kamo Kanehide, which chooses the dishes. Thank you for the meal 😋.

As a resident of Kanagawa Prefecture, I have had "Takashi" many times, but this is my first time drinking Miyamanishiki. Recently, I have been drinking a lot of fruity and sweet sake at home, so I thought I would like to try a dry sake for the first time in a while. It has a delicate aroma, but on the first day after opening the bottle, it has a slightly alcoholic overtone, but after 3 days in the fridge, the alcohol feeling has completely disappeared and the aroma has changed to a clean, clear aroma👍. It goes well with horse mackerel and squid salted fish that I bought in Ito ✨ Following yesterday's Hatsukame, the brand recommended by the liquor store as a food sake is great ✨ It's delicious, thanks for the treat 😋!

When I stay at a recreation center in Ito where I am free to bring my own drinks, I buy a four-pack at a liquor store near the station. The local liquor store that supplies the inn in the hot spring resort has a great selection and many brands to buy. ❗️ You can enjoy a moment of happy worry. ❣️ While I was tempted by the extensive Nabeshima lineup, I also wanted to try a Shizuoka sake that I had never tried before! I chose this one: 💁‍♀️ This is a classic Hatsukame sake. Although it is alko-soze, it is a light and gentle sake that goes well with anything, regardless of what you serve it with. It is a delicious sake that goes well with ordinary Japanese food without leaning towards the modern style ✨ It is very satisfying in a humble way ✌️ Thank you for the food 😋.

Mr. Powan-Powan Good evening ^_^ Yes, I'm Mr. Powan-Powan. This is Imai Shoten ✌️ Nabeshima lineup, they also carry a lot of Shizuoka sake👍. And if your timing is right, Niimasa too ✨. I can't wait to see what you choose next time you come to Ito 😊.

Manta-san, Imai Shoten is really well stocked. If I come across Shinsei at the right time next time, I might just pretend I didn't see the ...... Shizuoka sake and choose the Shinsei 😆 (I'm having fun imagining ✨😅)

It was my first time to buy Zanzou Hourai's pink label, and I immediately bought it when the staff at the liquor store recommended it to me as a summer sake from Zanzou Hourai. With an alcohol content of 12%, it can be enjoyed lightly with dinner on a summer day. It is a little sweet, but it has a gentle and clean aftertaste. As expected, it goes well with the ponzu-flavored pork shabu-shabu. But what is surprising is that the sweetness increases when you drink it with kimchi-filled "spicy ramen (with more gochijang)" at the end of the meal. ❣️ Why does it go well with kimchi and gochijang?　The sweetness resets your mouth and makes the spicy ramen tasty again 😆. I don't know what it is, but ahhh it was delicious ‼️ Thanks for the food 😋!

Bessho Onsen collective purchase⑤. I was curious about Yamazan at Sake-no-Wa and drank it at home for the first time. There were several kinds lined up at "Sakaeya-san", and after much agonizing, I chose "Usu-nigori" (light nigori) ❣️ 　When I opened the bottle, I just tilted it with my thumb just a little bit and was surprised when it flew up to the ceiling with a bang. ‼️ The cork that flew away was not important as it landed in the pot of tonight's pork shabu-shabu.　Thank goodness I didn't aim it at my family's faces😅. 　Sweet, fruity, fresh and sharp, it's going to be popular ✨ It's like a juice, it's gone in no time. Happy summer day dinner ‼️ Thanks for the treat 😋.

In May, a Ganki sales person visited a liquor store he is familiar with. Since Ganki is my favorite brewery, I was allowed to taste three different kinds of sake, and chose this one, a 500 ml bottle for a sake fair that "I only brought a little bit": 💁‍♀️ As expected of Ganki's daiginjo👍. It has a light and naturally sweet mouthfeel, round rice flavor, slight acidity and sharpness. It is perfect. ❣️ It is not biased toward the modern style, but flows gently like a daiginjo while retaining some classical aspects. I love Ganki after all. Thank you for your kindness.

Bessho Onsen Collective Buy (4) At "Sakaeya", only two bottles were sold in the evening, limited to one bottle per person. The next morning, when we visited there for another matter, they were selling only one bottle, so maybe they are putting them on the store shelves little by little 😆. Yamae Nishiki is not too sweet and not too fruity, and the clear taste of Shinshu Kamerei can be gently enjoyed. Shinshu Kamerei is one of those bottles that makes you mutter, "Yes, yes, yes, yes... ‼️ Let's drink it quickly before the taste changes. ❣️ Thank you for the food 😋.

Buy in bulk at "Sakaeya" in Bessho Onsen (3) I saw "Tsuki Yoshino" for the first time. After much agonizing and worrying among the several available, I chose my favorite Miyamanishiki. It is not sweet or heavy, but has a gentle balance that makes you feel as if you have taken a step back. It is tender or modest, and goes well with ryokan cuisine in Bessho Onsen, where there is no sea. ❗️ Tonight I paired it with a home Chinese dish published by a Japanese expatriate who has recently become a favorite of mine. It also goes well with lightly prepared dishes centered on saltiness and rape seed oil. ‼️ Sakaeya had several varieties lined up, but ah, I'd love to compare each sake rice. I'll have to check it out next time I'm in Nagano. Thank you for the food 😋.

Bessho Onsen bulk purchase (2) Toyoka, I love it - ❣️ It's hard to find it near my home in Kanagawa, so when I go to Nagano, it's the brand I drink for sure. Sakaeya had several kinds on sale, so I was worried and worried about it and chose ...... "Orikami" which needs to be refrigerated after all. ❗️ Although it is called "orikarami," it is not whitish at all, but clear. It has a mild balance typical of Toyokami, but it is also assertive and has a mellow, slightly classical flavor. Today's special pork shabu shabu with sesame walnut miso flavor. Ahhhh, delicious 😋 Thanks for the food ✨.

Bessho Onsen "Sakaeya" (Bessho Onsen) for bulk purchase (1) I bought 6 bottles of Nagano sake in bulk. We started with the fresh sake to be stored in the refrigerator. I had never seen "Mutou" before. There were bottles brewed from several different types of sake rice, and after much agonizing, I chose "Usu-Nigori" (light nigori) It was beautifully sweet with a fruity taste like muskmelon. When I opened the bottle, I did not feel any fizz, but when I drank it, I felt a slight fizz-like chili sensation. Today we are having a miso nabe with salmon and scallops, and it goes well with it. ❗️I sprinkled shichimi, a standard Shinshu souvenir, on it, and it goes even better. ‼️ It was a great choice: ❣️ Looking forward to opening 5 more bottles 😊.

I went to Ueda and Bessho Onsen. Shopping at the Shinshu Kamerei brewery is a must, of course. ❣️ On that day, we were told that we could buy only one bottle of either Miyamanishiki or Kinmonniki. After much deliberation, I chose the Miyamanishiki, which is only available at the brewery 😀. I thought it might be suitable for an aperitif, but I was wrong. I thought it might be suitable for aperitifs, ⚫︎It goes well with the Yokohama Spicy Jerky I have on hand‼️ It also goes well with boiled vegetables dipped in "sesame walnut miso" that I bought at a local supermarket near Ueda station: ⚫︎‼️ ⚫︎I'm not so sure about the Izu sun-dried horse mackerel 😆. I guess it goes well with mountain food since it's a sake brewery in a town without sea. ⁉️ Shinshu Kamerei used to be easy to drink, but nowadays it's hard to find... I'm glad I used to drink a lot of it 😋.

I bought this Yamamoto's Japanese rhyme for a Western-oriented dinner. It is not too acidic and the rice flavor is softer and gentler. It has a very well-balanced calmness 😌. It goes well with oil, tomatoes, vinegar and acidity in dishes such as vegetables with a bit of olive oil, pickled horse mackerel, chilled ratatouille, etc. It is a good match for cheese, but the cheese flavor becomes too strong. However, if the cheese flavor becomes too strong, it may start to shift a bit. 😝. It's a wine yeast sake that would go well with the menu of a long-established Western restaurant, where ordinary home cooking shines, and not too far away from sake. ❣️

This is a Tatenokawa liqueur that I have been eyeing at my usual liquor store for a long time. The yogurt from this liqueur was wonderfully delicious before, so I was curious about the grapefruit as well ❗️ and ‼️ Today, they were displaying this one in a particularly enthusiastic way for "Mother's Day support", so I couldn't resist it anymore and put it in my basket immediately😅. It's really delicious when mixed 1:1 with soda water 🤤. The fresh grapefruit juice is concentrated and the depth of alcohol added to it is just too good 😆. I'm a big fan of Tatenogawa's sake, but a sake brewery that makes great sake also makes great liqueurs 🤩. When I opened the bottle, the top clear liquid was hardened and I shook it up and down but it remained hardened. If you like Sake Brewery's liqueur, please give it a try: ❤️

This is the third bottle of wine I bought in bulk for GW. I was drawn to it by the liquor store's pop-up that said "chilled and in a wine glass". It's slightly sweet but not too light, with a slight floral and mellow feel. The aroma is muscat-like. I think it would go well with any home-style dish that leans toward Japanese cuisine. I opened a bottle at the end of dinner today, and it is perfect with rice cooked with firefly squid and ginger. If you get this one on the Oki Islands, you will be very impressed. It's a local sake with a nice modern touch, but still retains some rusticity 😋. Postscript It goes wonderfully with the sweet and spicy soy sauce flavor. It goes well with slightly sweet teriyaki hamburgers, simmered fish, etc.

I finally bought a bottle of Kido sparkling for GW, which I have been wanting to drink for a long time.　As I expected it would go well with anything, it really has a gentle sweetness and bubbly texture that goes well with everything. ❣️ Tonight I made "Yodaregye" from a mainland China recipe site, and it goes really well with the gentle home-cooked taste: ‼️ I think this would be flexible enough to be used with cheese dishes or dishes with lots of olive oil 😊. I'm sure I'll be back often. It was a real treat 😋. Note: ⚠️ It's a bubbly, so you have to drink it up on the day you open the bottle✨.
