日本酒大好きおじさんです。カロリーを気にして、一時はウィスキーのスコッチに走りましたが、やはり圧倒的な旨さとバリエーション、コスパから日本酒に戻って参りました。色んな温度帯で楽しめるのも日本酒の良いところ。そんなわけで、日本酒再開します!

I bought this at a convenience store. I bought some sake on a business trip and didn't have a cup 😅 instead of a cup. It's sake, but it doesn't have the traditional one-cup feeling and is very easy to drink. Served with dried firefly squid and pickled wasabi as a side dish. I'm sure I'll be going to take a hot spring bath in the middle of the night♨️.

Niwa no Uguisu純米吟醸 ぬるはだ

Purchased at a local liquor store for heating. As the name suggests, it is human body. The aroma is moderate, and it goes in easily without any unpleasant alcohol sensation. It has no strong sweetness, sourness, or bitterness, and in a good way, it has no unpleasant taste. It's the type of food sake that won't interfere with any dish. For me, who likes umakuchi, it may be a little lacking 💦 I prefer a little more umami from the rice.

I bought this at Joetsu Myoko Station in Niigata. Niigata has many famous sakes, but we chose to avoid the famous ones. The recommendation was to warm it up, so I immediately set the temperature to 45°C. As the label said, it had a very elegant taste. As the label says, it has a very elegant taste, with a refined sweetness and just the right amount of acidity and bitterness. It has a clean aftertaste and is very easy to drink. It's delicious.

I bought it at a local liquor store. It is another famous sake from Aomori. The name "Johari" means "stubborn" or "obstinate," so you can imagine that it is not a sweet-mattari sake. I had it hot. It is gentle and light on the palate, with a refreshing sharpness. It seems to go well with all kinds of food, but tonight I had a small amount with green pepper miso. Rather than amplifying the flavor of the miso, it seems to quickly rinse the palate. You can drink as much as you want because you don't get tired of drinking. I love Aomori.

It is already an unshakable part of our family's permanent rotation of sake. It is a truly versatile sake that can be served chilled or warmed. It changes seven times depending on the mood of the day and the temperature, and gently accompanies us.

Aomori has a strong image of rice wine, but Toyobai is famous for its hidden sake. The sake rice, Toyobai rice, is unique. I held out for it as a weekend treat. I had it at room temperature, and the aroma was exactly that-fruity, like a melon. The first attack was sweet, but it was soon followed by moderate acidity and bitterness. It has a nice sharpness and does not interfere with the taste of food, so it is very useful as a food wine. Tonight, I served it with sweet pickled ginger as a snack. It will make you happy.

I finally came across Koei Chrysanthemum. It is a four-pack bottle due to refrigerator conditions😭The aroma is a bit subdued, but it already has a fresh, muscat-like aroma. The taste is clean, sweet, refreshingly sour and gassy, just like muscat and green apple. Very well-balanced and low-alcoholic 13 degrees, this is a definite dangerous sake 💦. Too good. Definitely for sake beginners and women. And veterans, of course. You will want to serve it. Even a bottle goes fast. If you have room in your refrigerator, please try it!

I was given a spring sake. The aroma is sweet and gentle. One sip and it is just like spring, with a sweetness like white peaches and a faint gassy feeling. The sweetness does not drag on, and there is a slight bitterness. The accompaniments were vinegared miso with rape blossoms and firefly squid pickled in soy sauce. They go well with rape blossoms. The sweetness of the fish makes it difficult to pair with the vegetables, but it is not unpleasant. This sake made me think that I would be happy if I could drink this kind of sake while viewing cherry blossoms.

This sake was a gift. I drank it chilled because it is a draft sake. Although it is described as super dry, it has the freshness of nama-shu and the umami of the rice. It is light on the palate, but the robust flavor and lingering aftertaste make it very satisfying. We drank it with yakitori (grilled chicken), and it is a good sake for a meal that enhances the salty taste and drains the sauce flavor. Thank you very much!

This is another well-known sake from Fukushima. We bought a bottle of No. 4 because we heard that it tastes good warmed up. I started with it at room temperature. The aroma is rather mild, and in the mouth it has a gentle sweetness and a hint of................. The aroma is mild, and in the mouth it has a gentle sweetness and a hint of acidity. The aftertaste fades away along with the bitterness. As I thought, sake that tastes good when heated is also good at room temperature. The sweetness is the same, but the acidity has increased and the sharpness has improved. It has a gentle taste and is as good as its reputation. Well, there are many sakes from Fukushima that I like 🍶.

I bought it for heating up. But first, I tried it at room temperature. It has a strong umami, sweetness, and acidity, yet it has a short aftertaste and is not clingy. It is quite tasty at room temperature. Now, let's try heating it up to 50°C. The aroma of rice and acidity became stronger, but it was soft and gentle sweetness, yet light. It tastes quite good. Yamagata Masamune is well known, but this was my first time drinking it. I found another sake I like 🍶.

Not an accurate report, as my nose is broken from hay fever 💦 I can smell the banana-like aroma through the faint nasal cracks. On the palate, sugary sweetness, sourness, and later bitterness. There is also a faint feeling of gas. Very voluptuous, with a long finish. It is very robust and delicious. I have recently been enjoying refreshing and refreshing sake, but a strong and thick sake is also tasty.

This is a repeat of the Morishima, a different kind because it was so good. After a few days, the gassiness is gone, but the freshness has settled down to a lingering sweetness and a bit of acidity. I like the mouth opening, but I also like the calm Morishima. It's not a sake for sipping, but more of a calm and relaxing drink. I would like to try a different kind again.

Ichinokura純米酒 たなごころ

I found something I had never seen before at the famous Ichinozo, so I immediately bought it. First, at room temperature. It has a strong alcohol taste, and it has a dry, refreshing aftertaste, but I don't like it myself. It is made from sasanishi rice, and I got the impression that the umami of the rice was also a little weak. I decided to warm it up and tried heating it up. The umami of the rice increased, but the alcohol did not disappear. Everyone has their own taste in sake, and this is my own judgment and prejudice. (Postscript) It has been about two weeks since the first sip. Drinking it at room temperature, the alcohol feeling has subsided, and it goes in the mouth as easily as if it were water. There is an alcohol feeling later on, but not as much as in the mouth opening and it does not bother me. As expected, the umami of the rice is weak, but as the brand name suggests, it has a gentle "tanagokoro" feeling. It is easier to drink when it has settled down, which is how I like it. This is why sake is so interesting 🤣.

Aroma of melon, but not too sweet. The alcohol, sourness, bitterness and aftertaste are short-lived. It is easy to drink neat. It will not interfere with sashimi or soup stock. To try it out, put it in an inoguchi and microwave it for 30 seconds. The aroma and flavor of the rice stands out, and the alcohol and increased acidity come through the nose. It's still very crisp and goes well with all kinds of dishes.

It's a famous sake. It is recommended to warm it up, so I set the temperature to 45 degrees. Let's start with the aroma... This! What is this? It's amazake. I like amazake and drink it occasionally, but this is a refreshing amazake. It's more smooth than amazake, with a gentle sour aftertaste. There is no unpleasant sweetness, and the aftertaste is surprisingly refreshing. It is unlike any other sake I have ever had. I bought a small bottle to try it out, but next time I'll be sure to get a bottle! I wanted to try it with spicy curries, sauces, and balsamic vinegar sauces.

I bought this after hearing a recommendation for heating it at a liquor store. I bought it immediately because it is delicious both chilled and heated. I bought it in a bottle, but it didn't fit in my refrigerator, so I had to keep it at room temperature. The aroma and sweetness are not overbearing, and it comes in easily like water. The finish is short and crisp, making it a perfect match for any dish. Now let's try heating it up. The aroma of rice goes through the flowers, and there is a moderate sweetness and acidity. It's easy to drink. It's been heated up. And when I drank it warmed and cooled, the gentle sweetness spread to my mouth and the aftertaste extended. It's delicious! It's a limited edition sake for retailers, so I've come across another good sake.

This was the first time I bought Hirotogawa. I bought it because it is a popular sake and has a reputation for being good cold or warm. I started with it cold. The mouthfeel of the drink is like water in your mouth. Huh? Water? But then the flavor of the rice and the refreshing acidity followed, and there was a nice aftertaste. It's really good. Next, let's try heating it up. The acidity stands out, and you get a sense of maturity. But it's not overpowering, and I can't stop drinking it. When you drink this kind of sake, you can't help but say, "Cool! You can't help but say "Koooo! It would go well with pickled radish and iburi-gakko cheese. I don't have any at home, but I think it's a good sake for both beginners and experienced drinkers.

I opened a bottle of sake that I had left over at the end of the year. Last time it was just a special junmai, but this time it was Yamadanishiki. I was looking forward to it. I started with it at room temperature. The Yamada-Nishiki had a better aroma and more depth. After all, Yamadanishiki is the top sake rice. It's gorgeous, but not unpleasantly sweet, and has a nice crispness. I set the temperature to 45 degrees. The aroma of cooked rice passes through my nose. When I drink it, the acidity comes through, but it's not overpowering and I don't get tired of drinking it. I can drink it easily. Tonight, I served it with sweet pickled fresh ginger. Well, it's delicious. It goes well with too much. This is a versatile sake that can be enjoyed cold, at room temperature, or warmed.

I got some "Nabeshima" from the Internet, which is not easy to find in stores. I've known about it for a long time, but this was my first time tasting it. The aroma is not that fruity, but when you put it in your mouth, you can feel the slight gas and sweetness spread out like a buzz. However, the sweetness is not persistent, and it disappears quickly along with the sourness and bitterness. It's a perfect balance. I don't have any snacks for tonight, but it will go well with dishes with soup stock or light sashimi. Nabeshima... I'm afraid to say so 😀.
