hideki.KAWAKAMI
The cold weather is getting colder day by day and I miss hot pot. Tonight we're having oden, which I've been meaning to eat for a while.
I didn't have any sake ready, but I thought it would be nice to warm it up, so I bought some at a nearby convenience store.
I warmed it lukewarm.
It has a pleasant aroma of ripe apples, a sweet aroma, and a moderate bitterness.

The other day, I went to visit Masutani Hamono (Echizen Uchihamono) in Fukui Prefecture and bought this Fukui sake.
It had a fresh and rich flavor like honey apples, and in the aftertaste, a bitter aroma like caramel appeared.

I've been transferred to Gifu prefecture this month!
I went sightseeing in Nagoya during the consecutive holidays from yesterday, and today I took a walk around the neighborhood.
When I got hungry, I slipped in a last-minute lunch at Sagami, a Japanese noodle restaurant, and had the lunch Sagami set meal and this.
While there are many sakes with a lot of glamour these days, this one has the feel of an honest ginjo sake. I have a good impression!

The second part of the parting gift. This is also a sake from Miyagi, the recipient's hometown.
From the moment it is poured into the glass, it has a gorgeous and modern impression with a gorgeous ginjo aroma.
Bananas, melons, pears, kamishinko and shiratama dumplings.
The sweetness, sourness and bitterness unite to create a round and delicious flavor.

Tasting the sake that I received as a parting gift when I was transferred.
The sake is from Shonan, the hometown of the person who gave it to me.
It has the fruitiness of apples and bananas that only a ginjo can provide, but it is not overly flashy and has an elegant sweetness in the mouth.
It has a smooth balance with a gentle sourness and a mild bitterness.

Gakki Masamune's Junmai is made from Fukushima Prefecture's Yume-no-Ko sake rice.
It has a gorgeous aroma of juicy fruits like apples and Muscat, and a light finish of 13° that makes it flow gently.
I had it in a Riedel Junmai glass that I received as a gift😊.

Shichikenスパークリング 山ノ霞
hideki.KAWAKAMI
Sparkling sake tonight...
Since it's Tanabata, we named this sparkling sake "Nanaken" after the Japanese word for "seven".
It has a beautiful slightly yellowish frosted cloudiness.
The bubbles are so delicate that you can barely see them, but when you put it in your mouth, they pop and pop and pop.
The nose is banana, apple, pear and yogurt.
The alcohol content is light at 11%, so you can enjoy it leisurely.

The aftertaste is slightly bitter like burnt sugar.

Uncrowned emperor purchased at FamilyMart.
A sense of maturity that I never imagined from the refreshing appearance of the bottle...
It was already a year old bottle...! Next time, I'd like to pair it with something simmered or something.
Tonight, I paired it with marinated and then roasted striped horse mackerel.
