The first Laughing Four Seasons. This is the most gorgeous gold label in the Sensation series. The aroma is not that strong, with a hint of apple. It has a mild acidity and a refreshing bitterness. It also has a pungent taste, but it is not strong and can be drunk easily! Because of the impact of the acidity, it went well with kabura maki (turnip-shaped rolls)! Pairing︰Yakitori, Kabura-maki, Benihaku Namasu (red and white radish), Meat burdock root and Tadzuki

The first sake of the New Year is Hirotogawa nigori. This sake is hard to find these days, so I bought it without hesitation. The bottle was opened with care, but it didn't take much time to open. The aroma is like fresh yogurt! Fresh and gorgeously sweet. It is fresh and gorgeously sweet, but not too sweet, and combined with a hint of spiciness, it is very easy to drink. Nigori goes well with sweet and spicy snacks! Pairing︰SukiyakiSukiyaki, squid with squid and fish ball with red and white radish

Christmas-labeled takachiyos, saved for Christmas! What a sweet sake! Mellow rice flavor, juicy rather than refreshing. The sweetness is fragrant even when cooled to a crisp. It would be better with carpaccio or caprese than sushi. Pairing: Sushi, canned mackerel, salad

Spring haze after a long time. This time it is a winter label. Refreshing aroma like yuzu (Japanese citron). The sweetness spreads on the palate, with an orthodox spiciness. The flavor is not fruity, but rather mild and delicious! It is a different flavor than usual, but I quite like it. The strong acidity makes it a good match for sour snacks, but it was also delicious with a different kind of spring rolls. Pairing︰Haru-maki(Mackerel with shiso cheese, white meat, burdock root and prune)

Suiyu after a long time. It is a dry Ura-Suiyu. It has an apple-like sour aroma. As a fruity lover, I was intimidated by the "dry" taste, but it is delicious with a refreshing and clean spiciness. It also has a rich umami flavor and is easy to drink with no unpleasant cloying taste at all. It is easy to drink, with little alcohol content, so you can drink as much as you want. I made sukiyaki because I thought it would be spicy, but it would also go well with seafood! Pairing: Sukiyaki

It has a mellow flavor, but because it is made from Yamada-Nishiki, it is easy to drink. It is an all-around sake that goes well with meat, but also goes well with sashimi. Pairing︰Tsubasu with spicy dressing, sashimi, green peas, marinated carrot, baked yam, fried eggplant with scallions
