Nabe-shop is a sake brewery in Kanzaki, Katori, Chiba Prefecture. Every spring, they team up with their neighbor Terada Honke to hold a brewery opening event called the Fermentation Village Kouzaki Sake Brewery Festival. This is a bottle that I tasted and bought at the festival and put away. It is unfiltered and has a slightly golden color. It is a mellow sake with a full-bodied rice flavor, but has a nice sharpness, so you can enjoy it with a meal. Neither Nabeshop nor Terada Honke can be found very often in Tokyo, so I hope to go to the festival next year. *The second picture is a tour of the brewery. Rice: Miyamanishiki Rice polishing ratio: 60 Alcohol content: 15%.

One of the recommended products for August that I bought at Yamauchiya is "Midsummer Fruits," even though summer is already over. This is a new sake brewed in summer. The toji (master brewer) is pictured here wearing an aloha as proof of this! He must be a fan of Southern music, considering the name of the sake. There is no shortage of stories about this bottle, including the Aloha method tag, the use of a never-before-heard-of high-yield Akihikari variety, and the use of yeast derived from Princess Michiko, a rose associated with the Empress Kamihito. Kamishin Shuzo is a brewery located in Yorishima, Okayama Prefecture, a port town overlooking the Seto Inland Sea. As you can see, it is full of fruitiness, and it is the type of sake that you can easily enjoy. Since it is a draft sake, it was of course served cold, but I got the impression that its sweetness and flavor were enhanced when it was a little cooler than when it was freshly refrigerated. The third picture shows the Takasaki Fireworks Festival, which was held even though it rained. Rice: Akihikari produced in Okayama Prefecture Rice polishing ratio: 58 Alcohol content: 15%.

A liquor store that I had developed in the neighborhood happened to be a special distributor of Nabeshima, and I purchased a bottle of Aiyama Junmai Sake. Aiyama seems to be an excellent variety, called the diamond of sake rice. Tomikuchiyo Shuzo is a sake brewery located in an inn town overlooking the Ariake Sea. This Nabeshima is a little sweet, but as it is a CLASSIC type, it has a mild taste that you will never get tired of drinking. The second picture is a late-summer flower, Matsumishiso. Rice: Aiyama Rice polishing ratio: 60 Alcohol content: 15%.

Azumino's "mountain sake" Daisetsuken, cold and chilly. It is a standard sake, but it has the crispness and thinness that are typical of a draft sake, and its balance makes it perfect for summer evenings. It is a regular sake, but the balance of crispness and lightness that can only be achieved with nama-shu makes it perfect for summer evenings. Rice polishing ratio: 65%.

I bought a bottle at Sakamoto Shoten near Kaiun Bridge, where I had stopped for Akabu on a previous visit to Morioka (I also bought Akabu). Washio Sake Brewery in Hachimantai City, Iwate Prefecture, was founded in the Bunsei Era (Edo Period). The brewery is named after Mt. Iwate, another name for its water source, Mt. The brewery's sake is rarely distributed outside of the prefecture, but Sakamoto Shoten seems to treat it as a highly recommended brewery, and they even had a collaboration sake with a store. As the retro label suggests, Yukinotsuki is not a modern juicy sake, but the sweet, bitter, and crisp taste was relaxing and soothing. The second picture shows Mt. Iwate from Kaiun Bridge at sunset. Rice: Yamadanishiki Polishing ratio: 50%. Alcohol content: 15.5

At a tavern in the Kanazawa Station Building. Kurumada Sake Brewery in Hakusan City, Ishikawa Prefecture, was founded in the Bunsei Era (Edo Period). The brewery is renowned for its Hakusan subsoil water and traditional sake brewing techniques. Their representative brand, Tengumai Yamahai Junmai, which is often seen in the Kanto region, has a classic, full-bodied flavor. It is better to drink it with simple snacks rather than while eating a lot of food. The third picture shows Hakusan Gozenmine and the inner shrine of Hakusan Hime Shrine.

I drank a glass of sake in the evening, feeling down after being hit by the big plunge. I bought a bottle of Urakasumi, which I bought at a closing sale at a nearby convenience store, and drank it cold. But it is a famous sake from Shiogama, and it is not bad. It is a refreshing sake with a hint of sweetness, and I thought it was a good food sake. It has a light but not thin taste. It is a rare Sasanishiki sake. The rice is not good, and I wonder if the price of sake will go up. Rice: Sasanishiki produced in Miyagi Prefecture Rice polishing ratio: 60 Alcohol content: 15%.

Shirafuji Sake Brewery is located in Wajima City, Ishikawa Prefecture. The Noto Peninsula earthquake caused severe damage to the brewery, but the rice for the sake was safe and sound, so the Yukawa Brewery in Kiso took custody of the rice and brewed the sake on behalf of the brewery. The sake was brewed jointly with Shirafuji Sake Brewery, a product of Ishikawa meets Nagano. I compared it cold and at room temperature, and I felt that the rich acidity and umami of this sake could be tasted better at room temperature. It is a slow-opening type of sake. Rice: 64% Gohyakumangoku, 36% Yamadanishiki Rice polishing ratio: 55 Alcohol content: 15%.

Made by the Hanaizumi Sake Brewery in Aizu, Fukushima. The word "romance" dances on the golden label. The brewery uses a four-stage glutinous rice brewing method, in which glutinous rice is used in addition to the normal brewing process. The sake is made with Aizu rice, yeast, and craftsmanship, which is the romance of sake brewing. I put it in a cool bag and drank it outside over the weekend. It was not too sweet, but had a refreshing flavor, and I couldn't help but drink too much of it.

Obtained from a liquor store we pioneered in our neighborhood. Hiroshima's Asahiho Shuzo was founded in the Keio period. Its representative brand is Kyokuho, but a new brand started by a young 7th generation brewer is called Urin. The label depicts a crow and a circle, and the word "Urin" itself is said to represent the sun. Since it is a draft sake, it is served well chilled. It has a slightly greenish taste reminiscent of cucumber, which I thought was suitable for summer. I drank it in a flutter and ended up opening almost half of the bottle (too much)! Rice: Hachitan-Nishiki Rice polishing ratio: 80 Alcohol content: 17

Gifu's Watanabe Sake Brewery is known for its "Hida no Dobu" and "Irootoko. Every year in March, they invite Yoshimoto and hold a grand opening of the brewery, and the bottles of sake that were served at the festival were found at a local supermarket, so we protected them. I found a bottle of sake bottles that were served at the festival washed up at a local supermarket, so I protected it. It has a sweet and bitter flavor that I don't dislike. 19 degrees, so it might go well in an icebox. Rice: Hidahomare Rice polishing ratio: 68 Sake meter: -2 Acidity: 1.8 Alcohol content: 19%.

This bottle is from Yamaguchi Shuzo, a long-established sake brewery in Kurume, Fukuoka Prefecture. I bought it because of its cute retro label with a Japanese bush warbler on it. The refreshing sweet and sour taste is like Calpis for adults. On a hot day like this, it is best served chilled. I can imagine how it would be like if you put ginger in it to make it more like a chilled candy. It is also a good idea to add ginger to it to make it more like a chilled candy.

A bottle of Hachinohe Sake Brewery, Aomori Prefecture. It uses Kyokai No. 77, a yeast that produces high levels of malic acid.

This local sake is produced in Yoshino, Nara Prefecture, famous for its cherry blossoms, by the Kitamura Sake Brewery. Gin-no-sato is a member of the Yamadanishiki family of sake rice, and the rice used for this sake is from Yoshino. I first tried it on the rocks because it is a pure sake, but this was a bit of a mistake as it is not spicy. It has a sweetness that is not too sweet and a firm umami flavor, so it is best served at room temperature. Rice: Gin-no-sato from Yoshino-cho, Nara Prefecture Rice polishing ratio: 60 Alcohol content: 17%. Sake meter: -3 Acidity: 1.6

This is a long-selling junmai sake for plum wine made with locally produced rice. Compared to making white liquor, only half the amount of glacial sugar is needed, so we pickle one kilogram of plums and 500 grams of glacial sugar to one kilogram of Fukyu-nishiki. I tasted a little bit of the original sake while I was making it, and it was a delicious sake with a deliciously bitter taste. We are looking forward to seeing the finished product in half a year!

This is a bottle with a surprisingly good sense of naming that makes the word "comet" read "sha". It is a product of the Endo Sake Brewery in Suzaka, Shinshu. The brewery's website says only that it is as impressive as a comet! It is probably a reference to Char Aznable, the Red Comet, but it is too early to say. I had been curious about this sake for a long time, so I picked it up at the sake corner of Bic Camera Shinjuku West Exit Store. The refreshing acidity is a modern taste. It is fruity and easy to drink, and I could drink it three times as much as usual. Alcohol content: 15%.
