At csw. This is a product of the Houken Shuzo brewery in Kure City, Hiroshima Prefecture. It is brewed with Hachitan-Nishiki from Hiroshima. It does not have a flashy ginjo aroma, but it is sharp and I found it to go well with Western-style tsumami. If you look up the brand name, you can read the story of Tetsuya Doi, who took over the brewery at a young age, and his stoic approach to sake brewing.

At csw (craft salmon week). It was very popular and there was a huge line. The rice was special A Yamada-Nishiki, polished to 35%, and the sake was made from selected unrefined sake compounds. Let's see what Jyushi-Dai has to offer..." I was in a Shia mood as I eagerly drank the sake. It was a gorgeous Daiginjo-style flavor that suited the cold snowy weather.

I had a drink while looking at the pond. There was a heron from a Ghibli movie. A bottle of sake from the Saiya Sake Brewery in Yurihonjo, Akita Prefecture. It was the first time for me to drink Yamahai sake. It tasted a little bitter, but was easy to drink.

I bought this bottle because of the stylish bottle. It is brewed with 80% Nara's sake rice, Rohafu. It has a gorgeous, complex flavor that is practically a ginjo-shu, although it cannot claim to be due to the rice polishing ratio. The cemedine-like aroma is like playing a bad game. Surprisingly, it goes well with rice cake-type Japanese sweets. I tried pairing it with yubeshi, and the strawberry flavor hidden behind the complex flavor came out.

Exports are booming, and an innovative sake brewery, Iwakuni Asahi Sake Brewery in Yamaguchi Prefecture, has finally established a brewery in the United States. For the sake of Japan and the future of sake, we hope that they will continue to earn foreign currencies. The sparkling daiginjo is, as usual, recommended by Ms. Seiko Yamauchi, a sake master of my heart. The bubbles from the second fermentation in the bottle are strong and almost champagne-like. It goes well with sweet sweets. There was a note to be careful when opening the bottle, but perhaps because it had been sitting in the refrigerator, it did not blow out.

It can be purchased at a local supermarket for a little over 1,000 yen, so it has become a regular sake that is excellent in terms of cost performance. This junmai-shu is produced by Miyazaki Honten in Yokkaichi, Mie, which is famous for its Kou shochu, KINMIYA. Slightly sweet like a rice cake, this sake is suitable for a leisurely evening drink. It is a soothing sake to drink when you are down in the dumps. It is good at room temperature, but even better warmed.

Tokamachi's local sake, bought on a business trip to Niigata. Most of the sake is consumed within the prefecture. It tastes sweet and heavy, and is slightly different from the light and dry image one has of Niigata sake. It is made from Koshihikari rice, so it tastes like eating rice.

It is 100% Kame-no-o, 90% polished rice, brewed in a wooden vat with brewer's yeast, and natural sake, yet it is slightly effervescent, fruity, and urban in flavor. It is a natural sake with a slightly fizzy, fruity, urban taste that will be consumed in no time.

Purchased at a craft sake event at Shinjuku newman, this 85% polished rice, wood vat brewed sake has a sweet, smoky character. For some reason, it is recommended to pair it with potato salad. The QR code is available, and for some reason, it recommends pairing it with potato salad.

Outdoor drinking again. Grilled ray fins for entrée. Sakurabana Ginjo was launched in 1980 and has been a long seller for over 40 years. It is a standard ginjo, but I thought it had the advantage of being delicious in a normal way.

In her essay "Late Night Sake Reviews," Seiko Yamauchi, a sake master in her own right, praised it highly for its unobtrusive yet unique depth. I bought it on a business trip to Gunma, but since it is recommended to drink in chilly weather, I decided to drink it. It has a slightly yellowish, sweet, acidic, and rich taste. It is just barely balanced without being overpowering. Many people on the internet recommend heating it up, but I prefer it at room temperature.

Junmai sake from the Ozawa Sake Brewery in Okutama, Tokyo. Sawanoi-en, a sake brewery attached to the brewery, is famous as a spot where you can savor a cup of sake on your way home from a hike. Made from Koshiibuki, a member of the Koshihikari family. It tasted fresh and light, as is typical for a sake made from sake.

Junmai-shu by Sakura Masamune of Nada, the originator of Masamune. This bottle has a cute cherry blossom label, but as retro as it looks, it tastes a bit classic. It was better chilled. After a little while after opening the bottle, the taste calmed down and it became a soothing taste at room temperature. I heard that it is suitable for warming up, so I will try it next time.

A bottle I got at the "NEW NEW SAKE WEEK" event at Newman Shinjuku. It was purchased from a brewer named haccoba in Namie, Fukushima Prefecture. When the bottle is opened, gas and oli float to the surface at once. It is said to be brewed with a kind of hop called Karakaso, so it is like drinking a juicy grapefruit. When you peel off the bottle exterior, a poem describing the countryside appears, making it a refreshing pop sake.

Purchased at a supermarket on the way out. At room temperature, the alcohol taste was not so strong, but when heated up, the taste became rounder and more pleasant. As it is a Toyama sake, it went well with yellowtail sashimi.

Drinking comparison at danchu festival. The brewer poured us a glass. As the name suggests, the taste was clean and refreshing, but Hitogokochi had a better acidity and tasted better. I thought, "I'll buy it next time! I looked up the price and found that it was at a premium everywhere, so it will be a while before I can drink it again.

Thanks for the information, kzsh1037! It seems this was a more valuable opportunity than I thought.
