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.

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.

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

We visited Kiuchi Shuzo, famous for its craft beer and whiskey, and tasted their Junmai Daiginjo. The yeast, water, and rice are all from "pure Ibaraki" in Ibaraki Prefecture.
It is delicious with a beautiful rice sweetness. There is a lot going on in my life, but a good sake is an important thing that resets my daily life.

I found Sharaku's Aizan and bought it immediately.
It has a smooth yet fresh sweetness, a Sharaku-like aroma, and a bitter taste. It is a good sake to savor over the weekend.

This is my first time drinking black beef. It has a strong alcohol content of 18-19%, which is probably why it has a strong alcohol taste and a robust umami flavor. It is very different from the refreshing lightness of Kido, which is also from Wakayama Prefecture. Sake is interesting.

Tomikyucho Dry Junmai is a standard sake.
Well-balanced, clean flavor and sweetness. It is always a stable favorite sake.

Isoboast after a long time. It is a special junmai of Omachi. My image of Isobojyu is fruity like melon, but the aroma is mild and the alcohol and umami spread. Maybe because it is Omachi.
