My first Oita sake, Chiebijin. First time, but behind the scenes! Sweet aroma like pineapple and melon. Slightly effervescent! Like a rice champagne. It tastes firmly of rice. It is fruity but not too sweet. Since it has a bit of a sweetness to it, it goes well with meat, but it also goes well with cheese! I opened a bottle in no time. I would like to try the Chiebijin that is not backed up. Pairings: Beef grilled with sansho (Japanese pepper), tuna and asparagus salad, prosciutto ham and arugula salad, chicken in oil

This is my first Senkou Kabuto Kabuto! I was lucky enough to find and capture it at my favorite liquor store. The aroma is fresh and lemony. Surprisingly, it has a strong acidity in the mouth!

First time in Urasato! This is my first sake from Ibaraki. The starry sky label is very nice, as Tsukuba is the closest city to space. The aroma is mild.

This is my first time to try Bikyuu. When it comes to Kochi sake, it is dry, isn't it? Gentle aroma of rice. It is spicy, but the refreshing acidity is impressive.

Hiroshima's Baochien was recommended to me at the liquor store. I have had red and black sake before, but this time it was a white Junmai sake. The aroma is slightly sour. The mouthfeel is as light as water. But it is spicy! And with a refreshing aftertaste, it is very easy to drink. Since we are in Hiroshima, it went well with oyster tsukudani (food boiled down in soy sauce), which we carefully saved! Pairing: Grilled yellowtail with salt, oyster tsukudani, fried edamame shrimp
