It's wrapped in newspaper, but that's the label✋a clear bottle wrapped in newspaper, with the product label on top of the newspaper for a unique look! I couldn't help but look twice at it at the liquor store (lol). The taste is moderately spicy with a fruity ginjo aroma. This is my first Ehime sake, but it's good.

When I traveled to Akita Prefecture in the past, the bus guide of the sightseeing bus I was on listed "Hiduyoshi" as his favorite brand. At the time, I was not that fond of sake, so I passed it up. When I stopped by a nearby liquor store, it was in stock, so I bought it on impulse (laugh). As the name suggests, this sake is made by mixing moromi with a blender to make it finer. It's like yogurt, but not too sweet, and the spiciness follows afterwards, making it easy to drink (^^) According to the liquor store People who are addicted to this sake will be repeaters for a long time. I can understand that.

I have been wanting to try Sanzen Sakura for a while. It is a Hokkaido sake and I was wondering when I would be able to drink it, but my local liquor store had it in stock. Limited edition sake made to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Asahikawa's "Peace Shopping Park," the nation's first pedestrian-only road. It's not Hokkaido where I live, but why was the limited edition sake in stock at my local liquor store? It's a mystery. lol The label design is by an illustrator who is active in Hokkaido... I like the Fujiko A Fujio-like illustration (^^) It has a refreshing taste with a melon-type flavor.

I bought this sake because it is rare to see Hokkaido sake in my hometown. I bought it last spring. Maybe that's why it was relatively cheap. Junmai Ginjo made from 100% Hokkaido rice called "Kitashizuku When you put it in your mouth, the sweet flavor comes first, but the spiciness comes later for a moment, and then it quickly wears off.

I bought Yoshida Kurau's seasonal products when they came out. Hallo & Goodbye" in spring Night & Dance" in summer in the summer. Yoshida Kurau's masterpiece The liquor store introduced it as "the best work of Yoshida Kurau", so my expectations were high. In the mouth, you can taste a pineapple-like ginjo aroma, followed by a pleasant spiciness. It's like a rice wine! I served it with fried egg and natto as a side dish.

Sake that an acquaintance of mine received as a gift on a trip to Yamagata. This acquaintance drank this sake in Yamagata and ran out of 2 gou of it in no time... When you put it in your mouth, the ginjo aroma comes first, followed by the spiciness, and then it is cut off. It was cold today, so I tried it with yudofu (tofu). I have tried other sake breweries that use Dewa Sanzu, and they are all delicious.

I had been interested in this sake for several years, but every time I went to a liquor store, I was always tempted by other brands and could not buy it (laugh). I finally bought it! Don't keep it in the fridge. Don't judge this sake by the first sip. It has a unique flavor, so drink a little at a time to get your palate used to it. Let it air out after opening the cork. And so on... Sake with a lot of advice from the brewery (laughs) When drinking in large quantities, I recommend 1-2 weeks after opening the bottle. I opened the bottle and put it in a corner of the room, tasting a sip every two days, and today is the 8th day. It's true that the flavor is mellowing! It's interesting to see the sweetness coming out as the days go by! It's fun to feel like I'm nurturing the sake. I didn't know sake could be enjoyed this way!

Okunoto" for a long time. This sake is brewed with local sake rice and yeast extracted from local seaweed. This time it was a gift from the farmer who produces the sake rice. Of all the Takeba brands, Okunoto is my favorite. It has a slightly sweet taste with a lactobacillus-like flavor and is easy to drink.

It's been a long time since I've had a "work". From the liquor store. This year's Saku Hiyoroshi is very hard to find! So I bought it! I don't know if it's hard to get only in my area or nationwide, but it's certainly hard to get, and it's easy to drink, and goes down your throat more smoothly and more mellowly than the usual Saku. This is delicious!

Bamboo leaves after a long time This sake is a collaboration with a group of local university students called N Project. The label design was also thought up by the university student group. It's refreshing and has a bit of a lactobacillus-type flavor, I think. I like Takeba's "Okunoto," so I guess I am pulled by that image (laughs). Low alcohol (al 11%), easy to drink!

I was at a liquor store I often go to and was trying to decide which hiyaoroshi to buy. In August, all the employees tasted the sake and decided to buy the one from the tank that they had decided to buy. and shipped the one from the tank we decided on. I bought this sake after hearing this episode. I also wished for good luck in my current job! It is a little spicy compared to the sake I usually drink, but the balance of flavor and freshness, including the spiciness, is amazing! It seems to go well with any snacks without interfering with them! Tomorrow is the local autumn festival, so I'm celebrating the night before.

Junmai Daiginjo of Tedorigawa using "Hyakumangoku No Shiro" sake rice, which is my personal favorite. Today, I had a chance to listen to Mr. Yoshida, the president of Yoshida Sake Brewery, and I was so impressed by his passion for sake brewing that I'm going to share it with you tonight (^^) After listening to the thoughts of the brewer, the taste is exceptional! It is a junmai daiginjo spec, so you can taste the ginjo aroma, but it also has a spicy and refreshing flavor, and the taste is well-balanced! I like the balance of Tetorigawa the best among the sake made with Hyakumangoku No Shiro.

A new product from NEXT5, a unit formed by young brewers from five sake breweries in Akita Prefecture. The new product is a monthly release, starting in August, of a product that shares only the same rice, but has each brewery's own characteristics. The August release is by the Kuribayashi Shuzoten, famous for its Haruka sake. According to the Internet, the sake is so popular that it is sold by lottery, but it was sold at a liquor store that I often go to. The sake bottle is beautiful, with a pinkish tint reminiscent of grapes. It looks like a high-class sake kept in a high-class club or something. The taste is as delicious as it sounds! The fruity taste and rice flavor in the mouth is more like wine than sake. I have had Haruka before, but this is something completely different! I opened a bottle to commemorate my family's birthday, and it turned out to be a great memory.

The label of a kayak rafting down a river through picturesque greenery stuck and I bought it. Looking at the back, the words "Concept Workers Selection"... This series really has a nice label design👍. According to the Internet, there is also a brand called Cycling that was released in the spring. As I enjoy cycling, I would love to drink that one too 😆. The taste is a Junmai Daiginjo, so you can feel both the fruity ginjo aroma spreading on the palate and the delicious sake-like flavor, but with a soft mouthfeel that is very satisfying to me personally. Today is the end of my pre-bon workday, and tomorrow is my holiday, so I opened the bottle, and it looks like it will be a good start to the holiday weekend!

Tourmai? Not Junmai? I was curious and picked it up at the liquor store. As the name "Tourmai" implies, there is a different sake rice for each month of the year! The label on the back of the bottle says "This month's rice is this month's sake rice. The Yamadanishiki version for May and the Omachi version for July were on sale at the liquor store, but as an Omachi fan, I chose this one (^^). The label is designed with a "bird of the month + ears of rice" design, but the Yumachi version has a swan? The Omachi version has a swan? This design, combined with the ears of rice, makes it look like a phoenix or phoenix. This design is also cool! The taste is a little spicy and refreshing on the palate, but there is a long-lasting aftertaste as it flows down the throat. I was impressed that even with a low rice polishing ratio of 70%, it is possible to produce such a refreshing taste. It might be a good match with Iburi Gako (pickled ginger) or something similar. I will drink it with a wish that it will stand up like a phoenix at work, produce results, and bloom like a flower in full bloom!

Comet" is written "Shah", a sake named after Gundam's Shah. The alphabet is lined up in a row. The alphabet is read as "Dutoit-Neuimin Delporte," which is taken from the name of a real comet. I thought the label was a green bottle with colorful goldfish or carp scattered in a cool atmosphere... and then I realized after I bought it that it is a colorful comet (laughs). According to the liquor store's description. It is a low-alcohol sake (al 13%) brewed with "Yamae-Nishiki" from Nagano Prefecture and blended with two types of yeast, characterized by its fruity taste and refreshing aftertaste. It is a low alcohol sake (al 13%) with a fruity and refreshing aftertaste. When you drink it, the fruity flavor is indeed very smooth and light! Two types of yeast, one with a melon flavor and the other with a green apple flavor, seem to be used. Melon + green apple = ? I was looking forward to it. I was looking forward to it, but I couldn't help but notice that it had both melon and green apple flavors... Some people on the Internet said it was pineapple, but I personally think it's more like a green fruit. While I was thinking about what dishes would go well with it as a snack, the 2-gou tokkuri was empty (^^)
