It has been a long time since I had Shinsei. Viridian Misato Nishiki.
It is sweet and sour, low in alcohol, and easy to drink.

I visited an elementary school classmate who works for the Gunma Prefectural Government and received a set of three bottles of Akagisan, a local sake. He's always been a made guy, but he hasn't changed.
With the joy of seeing him for the first time in a long time still in my heart, I opened a bottle of Gohyakumangoku Junmai Ginjo today. It has a crisp and tight rice flavor.

We had a bottle of Hakutsuru Shouun (Hakutsuru Nishiki Junmai Daiginjo), a high-end line of Hakutsuru Shuzo.
Although it is a major sake brewery that mainly produces popular sake, I have heard that its technical level is quite high. The Junmai Daiginjo has a clean sweetness without any cloying taste, followed by a slight bitterness at the end. The 280-year history of the brewery is not a mere joke.

On my way home yesterday, I picked up a bottle of Amami Junmai Daiginjo Yamadanishiki at a liquor store. There were also Omachi and Aizan on the shelf, but I chose the Yamadanishiki. The sweetness of the rice and the acidity that I could feel at the same time were soft and elegant. It is a good sake.

My first abe.
I thought it would be light and dry since it is a Niigata sake, but it is a light and beautifully sweet sake.

It has been a long time since I bought Saku. Junmai, Hono no Tomo.
It seems to be more acidic than I remember when I drank it before, but it is light and tasty, as is typical of Saku.

Junmai Daiginjo from Sudo Honke in Ibaraki Prefecture, which was founded in the Heian period and is said to be the oldest junmai daiginjo in Japan.
It has a more complex graininess and umami, different from the fruity aroma and beautiful sweetness that one might imagine from a modern junmai daiginjo. Perhaps this is the kind of sake that Japanese people used to enjoy in the past.

Toyobai after a long time. Junmai Ginjo made from Toyobai rice.
Gentle and gentle rice sweetness, umami, and acidity. It is a rich and gratifying time to enjoy sake.

It's hard to find it in Japan, but I was lucky enough to find it in a store and bought it immediately.
It has been a while since I have had it, but it is still really delicious. The melon-like aroma, sweetness, sourness, and bitterness are all elegant and well balanced. No wonder it is so popular.

あーくん
Junmai Daiginjo Nigori Sake from Sudo Honke in Ibaraki Prefecture, founded in the 1100s and said to be the oldest sake brewery in Japan. It is brewed with local rice. I started drinking it in preparation for the Nadeshiko Japan game.
It has a pleasantly crisp and fizzy taste with almost no sweetness. It matches my current mood on a holiday evening.

It is still light, but I taste Tomikunaga Junmai Ginjo Yamadanishiki while my wife and daughter are out. It has a gentle, round sweetness. It is a good and delicious sake.

We visited a sake brewery in Takashima City, Shiga Prefecture, and bought a bottle of Junmai Sake after comparing the two. The sake is brewed using spring water from one of the 100 best springs in Japan. The sake, including the Junmai Daiginjo, is basically dry with a touch of acidity. It tastes better warmed than cold.

Tasted a Junmai Daiginjo from Fukui Prefecture's Hakugakusen that I happened to purchase. It is made only from Gohyakumangoku grapes grown in Fukui Prefecture.
The soft acidity is followed by a refreshing spiciness. I had never heard of the name, but it is an elegant tasting sake.

I received a wooden box of Kamotsuru and took my time at home.
The aroma is subdued, and the sake is polished to 32%, so it has a clear and elegant sweetness that cuts through. It is a beautiful sake.

Yesterday, during a visit to Utsunomiya, I bought my first Chuaiai at a liquor store near the station.
Contrary to the impression of the burly label, it has a gentle, almost feminine, sweetness of rice. This is a delicious sake.

Jay & Nobby, thank you for your comments. It took me a while to notice. Every time I go to Utsunomiya, I buy Tochigi sake at M Sake Shop near the station. Tochigi prefecture has many unique and good sake. I am envious.

The first "Raifuku" super dry sake.
It was served in a Nosaku sake cup given to me as a gift for the inauguration of the president of a business partner. It is true that there is almost no sweetness. Perhaps it is because of the thicker mouth of the sake cup, but I feel the taste is stronger.

I bought Abe-kan again in Tokyo after enjoying it at a dinner in Sendai on a business trip.
It is a good sake with a clear, spicy taste that wears off.

On my way back from a business trip to Matsuyama, I bought a bottle of Ehime sake at Matsuyama Airport. So I bought a bottle of Ishizuchi Junmai Daiginjo.
It has a beautiful sweet taste that quickly wears off. It is a good sake that reminds me of the gentle tropical sunshine.

At Izumo Airport, where I stopped on a business trip, I tasted Izumo Fuji Junmai Ginjo, which was sold only in the Izumo area.
It is a gentle sake with a modest aroma and sweetness that can be drunk all the time.

On a business trip, I was attracted by the phrase "Ponshukan limited edition" and bought it at Nagaoka Station.
I imagined it to be a light, dry Niigata-style sake, but it was unexpectedly fruity and sweet. Encounters like this are one of the pleasures of business trips.
