Purchased as a souvenir for myself on a business trip to Oki Island. The aroma is moderate and the mouthfeel is refreshing. The taste of rice comes through gradually later. Although dry, it is a gentle sake that evokes the spring scenery of the island. We enjoyed it with rice cooked with white clams, a Japanese-style chicken hamburger steak, and fried tofu.

くろりん
Sake from Ishikawa Prefecture to support the disaster-stricken areas, even if only a little. The ginjo aroma is youthful. It has a slightly strong acidity and a refreshing taste. For a pure rice sake, the rice flavor is not that strong. We enjoyed it with a variety of izakaya menu items such as sashimi of tuna, salmon, and sea bream, mimigauro, deep-fried tofu, and Spanish salami.

Sweet muscat-like aroma. In the mouth, it tastes like fresh melon and pear. The alcohol-free mouthfeel soaks into the body like a sports drink. We enjoyed it with pork shabu-shabu (with yuzu pon and sesame pon).

This is the last daiginjo of the "Kuromatsu Shiraga" series that I received from my parents' house on New Year's Day. (The others are "Junmai" and "Ginjo".) The aroma is mild and the throat is clean. It has a light flavor and is easy to drink without any peculiarities. We enjoyed it with ehoumaki and soba noodles on the occasion of Setsubun, a national holiday in Japan.

Strong sweet aroma like pear. In the mouth, there is a mild gasiness and a mild sweetness compared to the aroma. The riceiness is not so strong, and the taste is elegant. We served it with yose-nabe (a Japanese hot pot) with pork and shrimp in shells.

My first sake from Osaka. The aroma is sweet and elegant, as is typical of ginjo-shu. On the other hand, it has a robust, deep grain flavor in the mouth. We enjoyed it with grilled salt-crusted swordfish and a bowl of rice topped with tuna and chirimen-jako (dried young sardines).

When the bottle is opened, a "pop! and a dry sound. It has been a long time since we have had a sake with a gaseous taste. It has a slightly sweet aroma, and in the mouth it has the expected gaseous and refreshing citrus flavor. The taste is dry and seems to go well with any meal. We enjoyed it with homemade roast beef with Japanese garlic sauce.

Hiyoroshi in autumn. The aroma is like ripe pears. It is soft to the taste, but the umami of the rice follows firmly afterwards. Since the weather has cooled down, we enjoyed it with yosenabe (a traditional Japanese hot pot) and roasted ginkgo nuts.

The aroma is soft, soft and sweet. On the other hand, the taste is extremely mild and smooth. In a good sense, it is not too assertive and goes well with any meal. We enjoyed it with a variety of izakaya (Japanese-style bar) dishes such as shime saba, chicken wings, yakitori (grilled chicken), and soaked eggplant.

A fluffy, subtle melon aroma. It has a sweet rice flavor without any cloying taste, and is soft and smooth. It is simply a gentle sake. We enjoyed it with my son's Father's Day gift of grilled mackerel from Hokkaido, grilled salmon, corn kakiage and vinegared octopus (today is the first day of the summer).

A bottle that was purchased during GW but could not be opened. This is the first time to drink this sake from Chiba. The color is cloudy and the aroma is almost imperceptible. It is super dry on the palate, and has a gaseous feeling. We had it with mizutaki pork on a slightly chilly day.

GW did not go out anywhere and relaxed at home. The first bottle in such a situation was a sake with a refreshing name, perfect for May. It has a soft, sweet aroma and a rounded texture. The taste is refreshing, but the lingering aftertaste is very strong. Although it is from a prefecture without a sea, we enjoyed it with simmered kinmedai (sea bream) and natural sea bream sashimi from the Setouchi area.

A hazy, spring-like haze. The aroma is soft and sweet. Slight gas and strawberry-like sweet and sourness fill the mouth. It is a perfect sake for spring. We served it with sweet and salty salmon and gizzard with leek ponzu sauce.

Sweet aroma. When you put it in your mouth, there is no stinginess at all, it goes down smoothly, and the sweetness disappears quickly. It will reset your taste buds no matter what kind of flavored food you eat. We enjoyed it with spiced grilled young chicken and raw Hiroshima oysters, which are only a few days left in the season.

A lucky sake pressed on the morning of Risshun. It has a clean aroma, a green apple-like acidity on the tongue, and a muscat-like aftertaste. I was reminded once again how fresh freshly pressed sake can be. We enjoyed it with roast beef and hamachi sashimi.

Brought from Hiroshima for a sake party with friends. It has a light fragrance, and you can hardly feel any gasiness in the mouth. Like the appearance of the bottle, it is simply elegant. We enjoyed it with oysters in oil, which we also brought from Hiroshima.

It's been a long time (22 years!) since I was a student. It has been 22 years since I last had a party with my friends from school. A friend of mine who lives in Kyoto brought this red sake. I was surprised at the appearance and also surprised at the taste. It was sweet and sour, more like wine (rosé) than sake. We enjoyed it with a home-cooked meal prepared by the wife of our host friend.

Celebrating my son's 20th birthday, Ichi no Tenbi. It has a sweet strawberry-like aroma with a tangy gasiness. This just the right amount of gas keeps the sweetness in check, and a slight bitterness follows. We enjoyed it with sukiyaki Miyazaki beef, which we received as a tax-deductible gift from our hometown.

Good evening Jay & Nobby. Thank you for your congratulatory comments. We decided to go with "Amami" for our first sukiyaki with good beef in a long time! The aroma and gas seemed to be pleasant even for my 20 year old son.

The last of the Hiroshima local sake to be consumed is Horaizuru, brewed in the center of Hiroshima. It has a sweet and gorgeous aroma. On the other hand, the taste is light and refreshing. It is a sake with no peculiarities that can be paired with any food while enjoying its fragrance. It is a winter favorite, and we enjoyed it with oden.
