I drank this before and it was delicious. Everything from Sake Mirai is delicious, so I opened a bottle to lift my spirits on the last day of the holiday weekend. The aroma is mellow and banana-like. The mouthfeel is refreshingly sour with a slight bitterness. There is a slight alcohol taste. The impression is of a fruity, umami mouthfeel. The overall balance is good, making it ideal as a food sake. Pairing: Sushi, Tempura, Celery Salted Kelp Salad, Garland Chrysanthemum Salted Kelp Salad with Raw Ham

The first Ni-Hare is Omachi, Junmai Daiginjo! This sake sticks out to adults with its greed familiar from the saying, "Only those who chase two hares will catch two hares. The aroma is not so strong, but it has a green apple-like aroma and a sense of alcohol. The aroma is not so strong, but it smells like green apples, and the alcohol is very strong! It is not overly sweet, but rather sweet and juicy with a strong sense of sake. It also has a hint of sourness, so it goes well with sour snacks. As you swallow, a slight bitterness comes in the aftertaste, leaving you with a refreshing finish. What is noteworthy is the length of the aftertaste. The umami that passes through the nose is mellow, making it a sake that can be drunk for a long time. Pairing: Ham with cheese, tazuki, butter and soy sauce, sweet vinegared turnip, celery and salted kelp, avocado and nametake seaweed, soba noodles

Happy New Year! On New Year's Day, I bought a bottle of Jyushiyo, Chogoku for this day! I bought it at the regular price. It has a refreshing aroma like green apples. As soon as you put it in your mouth, the sweetness spreads! The acidity also has a strong presence, and it tastes like a Jyushidai. Jyushidai is a sake that should be drunk on its own rather than as a food sake. It is a strong sake by itself, or rather, it is like an idol. I don't think it is a sake suitable for pairing. But sweet and spicy sukiyaki and black beans were snacks that did not interfere. It made for a special evening drink! Pairing: Sukiyaki, fish cake, black soybeans, red and white namasu

It has been a long time since Ippaku Suisei. New Year's Eve is a sack hanging. It has a fresh aroma like muscat. The acidity is very smooth. The sweetness of the rice can also be felt, but it is not too strong. The aftertaste disappears quickly. It is very easy to drink and is a sake that is a beauty of all directions. It is a sake that is easy to drink and is a beauty in all directions. I can't find a good pairing... I saw on the internet that it goes well with shellfish, but it was a sake that was just as good as anything else. Pairing: Sashimi, fried sweet shrimp, garland chrysanthemum salad with ham and salted kelp, tomato with Camembert cheese

It's been a long time since I've seen 寫楽. It is the first shibori, junmai sake. The aroma is soft and green apple-like. It has a mellow mouthfeel and a sweetness that spreads. The taste is rounded rather than refreshing. However, as is typical of junmai sake, it also has a pungent and bitter taste. However, the taste is not unpleasant, but has a refined depth. There are many different types of 寫楽, but this is the first time I've had junmai sake. It might be good warmed up. It went better with sweet and spicy snacks than with refreshing snacks. Best match was avocado! Pairing: Yakitori-style grilled chicken thigh with leeks, Furofuki daikon, sweet vinegared turnip, avocado nametake mushroom with nori, tomato with camembert cheese

Kaze no Mori after a long time. This sake is a collaboration with Aika, a yokai calligrapher. The aroma is like a tropical pineapple. When poured into a glass, bubbles of foam rise up. The moderate acidity and slight bitterness are exquisite. It is light and easy to drink despite the 70% polished rice ratio. After all, Kaze no Mori is a must-try! It went well with light snacks rather than sweet and spicy snacks. Pairing: Salted mackerel, mixed mushrooms with garlic and soy sauce mayo, cheese and tomato, sweet vinegared turnip, Kuriuchi black pepper honey

It's been a long time since I've been to Hirotogawa. I like Hirotogawa's ruggedness and the fact that they don't play with the packaging. This time it is a special junmai. The aroma is sweet like a peach. The mouthfeel is slightly thick. There is sweetness, but also a hint of bitterness. There is also a strong umami of rice. There is a bitter aftertaste like distant thunder, but it is a refreshing and easy-to-drink sake. I was unsure of the best pairing, as it seems to go well with sour flavors and fried foods, but it is a perfect match with dengaku miso! We must keep miso-based snacks on hand. Pairings: Salmon sushi, salmon carpaccio, fried small sea urchin, garland chrysanthemum salad with ham and salted kelp, tomato with camembert cheese, carrot tuna, sweet vinegared turnip, dengaku miso

This is my first time at Sawaya Matsumoto. It is a seasonal Gohyakumangoku, raw sake. Sweet aroma like a pineapple. Very fine bubbles float in the glass. The mouthfeel is very fresh! Sweet and sour and very easy to drink. I had heard that Matsumoto has a bitter taste, But it is rather easy to drink, almost like a chu-hai (a refreshing drink). The aftertaste is refreshing and you can drink it all the way to the end without feeling sluggish. Why didn't I drink it before? Since it is refreshing, it goes well with fried food. Pairing: Fried chicken, garland chrysanthemum salad with ham and salted kelp, carrot shirushiri, potato salad, sweet vinegared turnip

Katsuyama for the first time. They used Hitomebore sake instead of sake rice. The aroma is subdued but fresh, like pears. The mild acidity spreads. The acidity that passes through the nose combined with the umami of the rice is exquisitely balanced! When cooled, the acidity becomes more pronounced, and when it reaches room temperature, the umami and pungency also become stronger, making it a good sake as a mealtime drink. The strong acidity makes it a good match for sour snacks, but it also goes well with sweet and spicy snacks. The avocado is worth mentioning! Pairing: Baked fluffy yam, fried oysters, rolled egg, garland chrysanthemum salad with ham and salted kelp, saraspa, tamed avocado with nori seaweed

For the first time in a long time, the instrument Masamune is an alternative! It is an instrument with a different flavor from the usual, in which hops are boiled at low temperatures to extract their aroma. Aroma like green apple. It has a sweetness, but not sweetness, but a refreshing sweetness. Slight bitterness and light acidity that spreads on the palate. It has a botanical feel like a craft gin, There is almost no sake-like flavor. The low alcohol content (12.0%) makes it easy to drink. It is also good as a food sake because it has a flavor that is not overpowering. We prepared a variety of snacks, I think it goes well with light cheeses. Pairing: Buri sushi, Garland chrysanthemum salad with raw ham and salted kelp, simmered pork, fried shrimp, caprese, yam pancake

Tanaka Rokuugo has been raw for a long time. I found it at a liquor store and bought it immediately without worrying! A beautiful light cloudy color that you can't see the other side of the glass.

The aftertaste is fleeting, with a yogurtiness like distant thunder that quickly disappears. It is easy to drink like water.

Kido, where everything is delicious. When Omachi came in stock, I bought it immediately! Aroma like blue banana. The mild spiciness spreads. It is easy to drink, with a soft acidity. The rice flavor is robust for a Kido. As one would expect from Omachi, it has the character of Omachi. But it also has the freshness of Kido. The price of all brands are rising these days, but I hope Kido will continue to be a good-cost sake. Pairing: Oden, persimmon broccoli, camembert cheese salad

My favorite sake from Kochi, Bikuyo. I heard that the Tama label was delicious and bought it immediately. It has a mellow aroma like banana! It has a mild and mellow mouthfeel. How clear it is! But it has a rich flavor, with a good balance of sweetness and acidity. It is very easy to drink. Bikuyo has a great aroma and is the sake that inspired our family to drink sake in wine glasses.

Haneya after a long time. The package is beautiful Dewa-no-sato. The aroma is light, with a sweet peachy aroma in the distance. I thought Haneya was sweet, but it has a surprisingly dry mouthfeel. But it is soft, free of cloying taste, and easy to drink. Both umami and acidity are well balanced, too good to find words to describe... I have the impression that this sake goes better with salt than soy sauce. Pairing: Hamachi sashimi, dashimakazume egg, garland chrysanthemum salad with raw ham and salted kelp, mushrooms with butter and soy sauce, tomato with Camembert cheese
