I repeat Chuaiai, which I buy every time I visit Utsunomiya. I like its gentle and beautiful sweetness, contrary to its burly logo.

Thank you very much, Jay & Nobby, I go to MKT to buy, but I didn't know about Shimadaya. I will go there next time.

Nabeshima after a long time. It has a mild effervescence and sweetness. It is a delicious sake to begin with, but it tastes even better after work and before GW.

Drooping mouth of black dragon with a little leesiness. Sweetness, fruity aroma, bitterness. It is delicious with the full-blown Kuroryu character. It is a good sake that makes you want to start working hard again tomorrow.

The Miyoshikiku Sake Brewery in Tokushima has collaborated with Fujitsu to sell a set of shaken sake brewed with music and a set of unheard sake, which I purchased on Amazon. I opened the bottle from the shaker first. It has a strong acidity, but not much sweetness. It has a unique flavor that I have not experienced very often. It seems to be a taste for different tastes.

Tasted [Bi] with [Sora] from the same brewery the other day. It is very light. It has a fruity sweetness that goes down smoothly. This is a sake that is best served cold.

Tasted a Houraisen Junmai Daiginjo, Sora, which was given to me by a customer. It has a beautiful sweetness that stands out, probably because it is polished to 40% and has a strength of 15%. I've been drinking it cold since early afternoon.

あーくん
I heard you like Japanese sake," a customer told me. The sake is from Ako City, Hyogo Prefecture, and is called "Chushingura. It is a very high alcohol content (17%), so when I heated it up yesterday, it had a strong alcoholic taste, so I warmed it up lukewarm tonight. It's better to warm it up lukewarm because it has more umami.

On a recent business trip to Fukushima, I bought a bottle of Ippouki in Tokyo that was recommended to me by a local. It has a mild and gentle flavor. I drank it cold, but it seems to be better at room temperature.

hana, thank you for your prompt response. It is a delicious sake, isn't it? I would like to enjoy it at home.

Personally, I felt it would taste even better if I put it in a glass and let it sit for a bit 🍶.

I see. Thank you very much. I will try again with a thin glass.

I got a bottle of sake that Toyo Bijin offers at Bills. I thought, "Bills is all about pancakes, right?" But then I thought it might be a good match because it has a bitter taste as well as a sweet taste that is typical of Toyo Bijin. I would like to try pairing it at a restaurant.

During a business trip to Fukushima last week, I had a bottle of Hirotogawa Nigori Junmai Namaisake that was on sale at the Fukushima station's product center for one person. It has a fresh fizziness, sweetness, flavor, and bitterness. I can see why it is so popular.

Today I completed my first race of the season, the Setagaya 246 Half Marathon. As a reward for not being able to beat my personal best, I opened a bottle of Jikin, which I won in a lucky draw the other day, while the sun was shining. I got the impression that the beautiful sweetness typical of Jikin prevailed over the complexity of the sake. I think the pleasant tiredness from running a half-marathon and the end of my abstinence from alcohol have further enhanced the flavor.

Good evening, A-kun 😃. Congratulations on completing the half marathon 🎉 Good job 😌. Was it a good day for a marathon in terms of temperature😊It's great to be able to run 👏I'm sure you're soaking up the pleasant fatigue now 😊.

Jay & Nobby, thanks for your comments. It is seeping through right now. I'm afraid I won't have it until the big drama and then I'll be asleep.

We had a bottle of Akabu Junmai Sake, our most recent favorite. The sweetness is light and elegant. It is a blessing to be able to end the day in good health with such a good sake.

I had bought a bottle of Junmai Daiginjo from Tobiroki as a reward after finishing the Tokyo Legacy Half Marathon, but was frightened by the heavy rain and did not run the race. But I didn't run the marathon because I was afraid of heavy rain, but I drank the Tobiroki as a reward. It is beautiful and delicious. Nothing but delicious.

At Kagoya Sake Shop in Shimotakaido, they sell a sake made from Akaban Omachi rice called Kunihira-mai, which is produced by a rice farmer named Kunihira-san. I immediately bought a bottle of Sharaku, which I like. It has an intense, fruity aroma and a beautiful sweetness that is typical of Sharaku. The price has gone up, so I don't get it as often as I used to, but Sharaku is definitely a good sake.

I drink my regular sake, Yukino Kayasha Yamahai Junmai, at room temperature. After work, I come home, get out of the bath, and have my usual drink with my wife, who does not drink, while talking and laughing about trivial things and eating a normal dinner. Once again, I am truly thankful and happy.
