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.

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.

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.

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.

At Hagi Iwami Airport, which I visited on a business trip yesterday, I found an airport limited edition Junmai Daiginjo of Toyo Bijin and bought it.
It is good that I can taste the beautiful sweetness that is typical of Toyo Bijin, but I am not sure what the point of the limited edition is. It is good that I can enjoy it so it is good.

I bought a bottle of Koroh for the first time, which a senior colleague of mine had told me was very tasty.
Although the alcohol content is low at 15 degrees, it has a robust flavor and a caramel-like aroma. It is better to drink it warm than cold.
It reminds me of my grand-senior who was very strict. He must have liked this kind of sake, which is not the latest style. I can understand why.
