For the first time this season, I have my regular autumn/winter sake, Kikuhime Yamahai Junmai, hot. It's sizzling good. I don't like cold weather, but this is something I can enjoy.

あーくん
Dense and pure sweetness like honey. It is typical of Junmai Daiginjo.

Completely bought the packet.
It has a caramel-like aroma and a delicious flavor. I started drinking it cold, but I think it would be better hot. It's finally the season to enjoy hot sake.

I bought Gokeiji for the first time, which I had been curious about. It is fruity, but also has a strong alcohol taste and umami flavor, perhaps because it is hiyaoroshi (cold-roasted sake). It is a sake to savor long autumn nights.

The bottle is labeled to be opened with caution, but not so much, with a gentle tingling sensation. Dense sweet and tasty acidity follows.

Purchased my first brand in an autumn-inspired jackpot of Matsue Castle and Lake Shinji.
It has a refreshing taste that is appropriate for a super dry wine. I think I can keep drinking it.

Good balance of tingling fizziness and richness.

This was my first Shinomine. The sweetness is moderate, but it has the richness and drinkability of Yamadanishiki, which is typical of Yamada Nishiki.

After a successful break from work, I celebrated at home last night. I chose the gorgeous Kaze no Mori Aizan.
The pure sweetness and fizziness added to the sense of happiness. It was a nice choice, even for me.

Kuroryu in the evening, taking it easy during Obon. The melon aroma, typical of Kuroryu, is refreshing.
My wife and daughter are left alone, engrossed in (now) Love's Emergency Landing on Netflix. Oh well, that's the usual.

This is the first Souhyo. Junmai Daiginjo brewed with Gohyakumangoku from Tochigi Prefecture. From the label, it is a summer sake.
There is nothing strange or sharp about this sake, and you can feel the umami and sweetness of the rice straight away. It is a good sake that leaves a good impression.

On a business trip to Sendai, I purchased a Sendai Station limited edition sake, named Sendai Ekimasamune. I did not expect much since it was displayed at room temperature at the station kiosk, but it was delicious, with a perfect balance of sweet and spicy flavors.
I try to buy regional limited edition sake whenever I go on a business trip, and this kind of encounter makes me happy.

It is a sake with such a light flavor that it is not enough when drunk by itself, but when paired with snacks, it fills in the blanks and further enhances the taste of the food. Sake is truly a mysterious and profound drink.

When I was in Fukushima on a business trip the other day, a customer gave me a bottle of sake as a gift saying, "I heard you like Japanese sake.
It has a fresh and tangy texture on the tongue as if it were orikagara, and the umami comes rushing in later. It is a refreshing summer sake.

Masumi's summer sake.
It is a summer sake with 14% alcohol by volume, but it has a strong flavor, probably because it is from a brewery with a long history.

I bought this sake at Yamagata Station on a business trip the other day, caught by the words "Yamagata Limited".
As the label says, it is indeed a refreshingly dry sake, a good sake for drinkers who can drink it all the time.

I think this is the first Kamo Nishiki that is not a packaged sake. It is delicious with a balance of refreshing acidity and sweetness.

The sweetness and umami are well balanced, as is typical of Akabu. It is a reward for a good day's work.

It's still light, but we started the evening drinking.
Fruity, refreshing, sweet and delicious. I guess it should be served cold.
