My wife ordered this 500ml bottle from Oisix. It was clear as water, but sharp, yet it didn't interfere with the meal.
Snack (meal): Yose-nabe (with straw)

Rich, with a slightly peculiar aftertaste. It has a slight aftertaste, so it depends on the person's taste...it goes well with creamy cheeses.
Snacks: Camembert cheese, crackers

Imuraya's Fukuwagura, this time a Junmai Daiginjo. 300ml small size. It was a little bit sweet, with a slight whiff of fruit (banana?) on the nose 🍶I personally think it is a slightly mild daiginjo. Personally, I think it is a little mild daiginjo.
Snack: Whale sashimi

When the lid was opened, the sound of gas escaping was accompanied by a yogurt-like aroma. At 12% alcohol, it is low in alcohol and fruity, making it easy to drink even for those who do not like sake.
Snack: Sweet Potato Chips

The theme of this sake is "the ultimate food sake," and as it says, it does not interfere with food and does not linger after drinking. However, there was also a core of understated umami and spiciness, and the 4th bottle was easily consumed.
Meal: Sukiyaki

The subtle ginjo aroma and flavor, with a clean and refreshing aftertaste that is not cloying, made me feel the deliciousness of sake in pure water!

This is the second item I purchased when I went to Kihokucho. It was just as it says, light and dry, but not so sharp...but it did not interfere with the meal, so I could enjoy the sushi 🍣.
Snacks (meal): sushi (tuna, kanpachi, salmon, mussels, scallops, etc.)

I bought this as a souvenir when I went on a short trip to Kihokucho. The sake from Kawatake Brewery in Hokosugi is too tangy and alcoholic, and to be honest, I have never...
Snack: Kaki no tane Wasabi flavor

Corked for my kid's birthday dinner! It is one of those that one can honestly say "delicious" with a well-balanced full-bodied, umami flavor and even aftertaste. The "Saku" is also a gorgeous and delicious sake, but I personally prefer the "Tamitsu".
Snacks (meal): Sashimi (bonito, kanpachi, horse mackerel, octopus), edamame (green soybeans), pork miso soup, and Mugen green pepper

Thanks for your comment, Jay & Nobby ❗I don't often get a chance to come across sake from Tochigi, so I'll study it at Sake no Wa 🍶.

Mie Prefecture is Taki, and the sake is made by Imuraya, purchased at a place called Vison 🍶 It has a faintly tangy acidity, a full-bodied taste, and then a touch of alcohol. I personally liked it because it was not persistent even after repeated sipping.
Since Imuraya has an image of bean-jam buns and meat buns, I wonder if the sake will still evolve in the future? Expectations for the future❗.
Snacks: Ebi Arare (shrimp crackers), Sardine crackers

Third part of my trip. I forgot to take a picture of the sake so I put a picture of the sashimi 🐟️Good sake that seems to be sharp and dry. The delicious sashimi also helped me drink it 🍶.

Despite the cute owl label, it has a robust flavor and a slightly bitter taste. A little tangy and slightly carbonated at first, the aftertaste is not persistent. It seems to be enjoyable enough to drink alone☺️.

It was a powerful sake with the thickness and guttural spiciness of the original. The alcohol content of 18 degrees Celsius made us forget about the approaching typhoon...Thanks for the treat.
Snacks: Onion and okaka (bonito) salad, natto (fermented soybeans), rakkyo kimchi, canned mackerel with garlic

While it had the strength of a dry wine, it had a refreshing taste that left no aftertaste, as if one were drinking water. It is a smart gem that does not interfere with meat, vegetables, fish, or any other food.
Snacks (meal): Shiitake mushroom steak, roast beef salad, sauteed Manganji peppers, sashimi (sea bream, tuna)
