It's just right for the Japanese food wine.
Tonight I made yudofu nabe with pork shabu-shabu! Oden and chikuzen-ni are also good for the coming season. Maybe hot sake would be good too. Thank you for your kindness!

Mizunasu eggplant with wasabi miso.
Sakara @ Akasaka-mitsuke
Excerpt below.
"This is an orikarami of Jyushidai, a local sake from Yamagata Prefecture that is extremely hard to find. The amount of tailings is not so much and it gives the impression of "light nigori". It is plump and full of flavor, but not at all heavy, a balance that can only be achieved with Jyushidai. The fruity ginjo aroma characteristic of Jyushidai, the fresh aroma typical of new sake, and the sweet aroma that rises gorgeously make this a fantastic local sake."

Not too mellow for its aroma, suitable as a food sake. Delicious!

I heard people say it tasted good, even though it was served with alcohol. I thought, "Sure," and bought a bottle.
Tasted at a liquor store in Fukui.

Affordable kuheiji you can enjoy at home (la maison).
Specification: 100% Yamada Nishiki from Kurodasho.
Impression: When you open it, it fizzes slightly.
The mouthfeel is fresh, with a good balance of umami, sweetness and acidity, and a lingering finish. It's like a white wine! I hurriedly changed the sake cup from an inoguchi to a wine glass. (I was thinking of the usual gusto of Jiheiji, so I used an oinokuchi 😅)
Sake cup: wine glass
I'm sure you'll love it. It's also good with fried oysters in this season.
Additional information
When I examine it, it seems to be sold only in the Corona disaster. If the amount of sake rice ordered from contracted farmers decreases due to the Corona disaster, it will have a negative impact on the production plan for the next year and beyond, so the amount of sake rice ordered is maintained by creating a brand for home consumption. The rice is produced in limited quantities to protect the farmers and to ensure that good sake rice will continue to be available in the future. That's why it tastes so good and is very reasonably priced. I'll buy it again when I find it. In order to protect the future of good sake, you should buy some too!

Junmai Ginjo using only Gohyakumangoku.
It is mellow and I like the taste.
It seems that each Otokoyama in the whole country is completely different.
I visited the brewery in spring.
It is located in Itoigawa, Niigata. It is located in Nechidani, a small valley in the mountains that becomes a heavy snowfall area in winter. It is a wonderful brewery with authentic wooden construction by a local master builder using local wood, stone and soil, and traditional techniques without using nails. We visited the sake brewing exhibition, the tasting room with tatami mats (said to be popular with overseas visitors), and the rice paddies grown by the brewery right in front of the brewery.
To tell the truth, I didn't know about this place at all, but I'm glad I went there. The Domaine style of sake brewing that values the terroir of the Nechigaya region shows a passionate desire to preserve the beautiful landscape of terraced rice paddies in the valley for future generations. I wish more people knew about this place.
We received rice from the rice paddies as a souvenir.
Next time, I want to drink Nechi, which is only available at special dealers.

Both are old sake brewed.
Comparison of Shiraoibai Junmai Daiginjo and Junmai Ginjo😋
This is the first time I've seen this recipe.
This plum wine is made by marinating Chita's plum "Saburi-ume" in old sake according to the recipe in the Edo period book "Honcho Shokkan". The plum wine is made by marinating Chita's "Saburi plums" in old sake according to a recipe in the Edo period book "Honchokukan".
This is the best plum wine in Japan.
Junmai Daiginjo Brewing] The red one
Gorgeous! Nice aroma. In a good sense, the aroma has a subdued old sake feel. When you drink it, it has a refined depth, and I think the goodness of old sake comes into play here. The box is nice and foil-stamped, and I want to use it as a gift. I would like to use it as a gift, and bring it to New Year's or celebrations as an aperitif. The plums used are locally grown, small, sour, and fragrant.
▫️How to drink: On the rocks with water. Serve on the rocks!
▫️Alcohol Content: 10 to 11 degrees
Junmai Ginjo Jikomi] The White
Compared to the red one, you can enjoy the old sake flavor. This one is more of a downer. I like to drink it alone at night on the rocks instead of whiskey. I also like this one a lot.
It won a silver medal in the Japanese sake category at the National Plum Wine Competition 2019.
▫️How to drink: On the rocks, or warmed up.
▫️Alcohol Content: 10 to 11 degrees

Aomori Sake for Beginners
First of all, we tried to compare the representative brands.
Aomori
Aomori
◾️This time's brands ◾️
"Mutsuhasen," "Joppari," and "Kamekichi."
(We'll talk about "Tasake" and "Toyopai" next time!)
And...
We'll see you next time!
Mutsu Hassen Special Junmai
60% polished rice, 15% alcohol.
Fragrant! Fruity!
This is the aperitif of the three. It should be cooled down and the gorgeous aroma should be the main attraction. If you start the party with this sake, you will be filled with the expectation that you are going to have a delicious meal tonight.
Sashimi is the best dish to pair with this sake.
It is considered to be a kind of smoked sake, but it has a lighter aftertaste than Hokuriku's smoked sake, which is a characteristic of Tohoku.
