くろりん
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, Kurorin 😃. Congrats to your son on his 20th! Congratulations 🎉 Sukiyaki and Amami nigori would go great together 👍 Is your son going to get into the Sake swamp too?

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.

Dinner is called oden. It has a sweet aroma and a delicate, crispy texture. It is not as sweet as the aroma would suggest, but has a mellow rice flavor that comes through later. The alcohol content is moderate at 14 degrees, even though it is a pure sake. It has a modern and delicate taste that is hard to imagine from the Kawatsuru I drank more than 10 years ago. We enjoyed it with Himeji-style oden with ginger soy sauce.

Nice to meet you, Kurorin-san 😌. Thank you for the sake from Kagawa. Kawatsuru", the quality of sake has been improving in the last few years 😊.

くろりん
Hi Ryu, nice to meet you. Kawazuru was brewed by the toji of "Amami", which is my favorite sake brand in Kagawa. I think it is a good sake for Kagawa. There are many other delicious sake brands in Kagawa, such as Etsukaijin and Koryo.

Ryu
Good evening, Kurorin! Thank you for your reply 😌. I am glad to hear you say so. The "KAWATSURU" sake developed by Mr. Fujioka is also very popular all the time. Sanuki Kuraudei", "Aburi Iriko Sake", etc. 😊.

Hyogo's favorite brand. Unlike the atmosphere of the name, it has a sweet aroma. It has a firm sharpness and a smooth taste on the palate. It has a pleasant aftertaste and goes well with all kinds of food. I enjoyed it with pork cutlets, lemon, and tofu chikuwa I bought on a business trip to Tottori.

Hiyoroshi in autumn. It has a mild aroma of white grapes and a tight, gassy feeling. Although it is hiyaoroshi, it is not heavy, and the sense of rice is not so strong. It has a clean throat and a pleasant bitterness that follows afterwards. We enjoyed it with nigiri sushi from Sushiro.

This sake is from the same brewery as the one we just drank the other day. It has a calm ginjo aroma and a good amount of gas. It has a refreshing and clean taste. The rice flavor is not overly assertive, and although it is not as showy as the Musical Instrument Masamune, it has a mellow finish. A heavy favorite from fall to winter, served with oden.

The middle day of a three-day weekend during an approaching typhoon. Purchased at the sake shop Yamada (original product) in my favorite TSUTAYA home appliance. The specs were not disclosed. The specifications were not disclosed because they said, "I want you to taste it with your senses. The aroma is reminiscent of green apples. It has a mellow rice flavor with a crisp texture and no cloying taste at all. It was served with shime saba, assorted fish paste, and takoyaki.

The second autumn sake. The aroma is mild. The mellow texture on the tongue fills the mouth with a mellow flavor. It has a firm aftertaste and seems to go well with all kinds of autumn flavors. We enjoyed it with our first oden of the year.

Autumn sakes while listening to the sound of insects. The sweet and sour aroma is also complex. It can be said to be refreshing, but it is a bit blurred and lacks impact. We hope that the depth of the flavor will increase as the day goes on. We enjoyed it with grilled Hida beef, which we received as a tax donation from the hometown of Gifu.

Summer vacation starts today! I have been curious about this instrument Masamune. Sweet aroma like muscat, with a light gasiness. The cool texture on the tongue is also firm and rice-like. This specs for a honjozo. Great cosiness. We enjoyed it with sashimi, yakitori, and grilled prawns.

It has a fresh, pear-like aroma. As the name suggests, it has a light, gaseous taste with a refreshing aftertaste. With its exquisite balance, this sake can be enjoyed in any season. We enjoyed it in an air-conditioned room with a Japanese-style broth-based pork hot pot.
