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. It has a sweet aroma like Yakult. Very refreshing on the palate. The balance of sweetness and sourness is wonderful! The aftertaste is fleeting, with a yogurtiness like distant thunder that quickly disappears. It is easy to drink like water. It goes well with simple tasting snacks rather than sweet and spicy snacks! Especially good with seafood. Pairing: Steamed oysters with sake, assorted sashimi, garland chrysanthemum salad with raw ham and salted kelp, seafood okonomiyaki, fried lotus root with green laver, sweet vinegared turnip

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

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

Since "Teuchi" was so good last time, we went to Daishinshu again. This time it is the "Autumn Jungin" of the very season. An apple-like aroma coming from the glass! The taste is refreshing. It is not sweet, but very dry and easy to drink. But it is not unpleasantly dry. It is light and soft, just the kind of dryness I like. It seems to go well with anything, but since we were out of fish today, we went with meat. It was a good pairing without any discomfort. Daishinshu has become my favorite brand. Pairing: Beef tongue ham, garlic potapota yaki with Camembert cheese, sausage, dashimaki kazu tamago, marinated mushrooms, grilled konnyaku with sweet and spicy sauce,

Sentori after a long time. Today, we had a retro one among all the sake brands. It has a strong alcoholic aroma. But when you put it in your mouth, you will be surprised by its sweet and sour taste. It has a light acidity and fullness. At 13 degrees, you can drink it as much as you like. Today's pairing was with spicy food. It has a strong acidity, so it may go better than expected. Pairing: Biryani

It has a citrusy aroma with a bitter taste like yuzu, and although I thought it would have a strong acidity, it is more on the umakuchi side. It has a refreshing bitterness and a light mouthfeel. However, the sweetness of the rice can be felt. This sake is good with sashimi, but it is also refreshing, so it would go well with fried food!

First time in Daishinshu! Debuted in hand. I have always wanted to drink this sake. Melon-like aroma. Refreshing on the palate! The mouthfeel is surprisingly light, not unlike sake. It is easy to drink like water with a sour taste. It is like a light white wine and goes well with cheese. I started drinking it fruity even when it was chilled, but it is just as easy to drink when it is lukewarm. I thought Daishinshu was more austere and dry, but it became my favorite brand. Pairings: Salmon sashimi, pancakes, garlic pota-pota grilled cheese, eggplant cod roe butter, thick fried cheese, an doughnut
