Tasting set of recipes for Sanuki Olive Yeast Sake, 4 brands to compare. All of them use the same yeast, and the rice used is Kagawa-grown Oceto. Ayagiku has a crisp acidity and a fruity wine-like taste, and I am thinking it would go well with tomato sauce.
Miyamanishiki from Nagano Prefecture ✖️prepared with wine yeast Sour green apple-like fruit flavor. The label says it is easy to pair with food, but it seems to be a good choice for pairing. Serve with white dressed persimmon, apple and celery salad, etc.
In search of hiya-otoshi, I bought a packet at an antenna store in Nagano Prefecture. I was attracted by the name "tadpole" or "tamago". It has a mild and gentle aroma, a mellow flavor, and a crisp finish. It is also good lukewarm.
Thanks for your comment, Hirupeko. Yes, Kikusui Funaguchi may be the sake that prevents me from drinking too much, lol. I want to drink trendy sake, but I also want to enjoy my sake life with easy-to-drink sake that is easy on the pocketbook.
When the bottle is opened, it has a nice balance of sourness and sweetness, with a shrieking gas sensation. Pair it with bonito tataki. I look forward to seeing the changes over time.
It was hot again today. I was attracted by the cool label just by looking at it. The aroma is mild, perhaps because it has been open for a while, and the mild mouthfeel spreads with a clean aftertaste. Serve with potato salad with cucumber and cilantro seeds.
A day for an excursion run. It has been a while since I last visited a corner bar. There was a large selection of Shinmasa and NEXT5, but I chose Koei-Kiku, which was refreshing to drink. It went well with the XO shoyu and cream cheese snack.
Junmai sake made with Hitanishiki produced in Shimotsuma City, Ibaraki Prefecture, and poppy flower yeast. It was named "Shio" after the national butterfly "Oomurasaki," which represents Shimotsuma City, and is said to have been inspired by the image of the poppies dancing in the fields of poppies. I imagined it would have a gorgeous taste, but it was light, crisp, and acidic, with no lingering aftertaste. We are still searching for what to drink with it.
Hello, Mame Ume, ☀️
And nice to meet you😊
My niece's name on it...I would love to have it. I would love to have a bottle with my niece's name on it...and I'm fantasizing about aging it and opening it on her 20th birthday lol.
Lots of alcohol I didn't know about😊thanks 🙏✨
Thank you for your comment, Staggerfoot. I look forward to your niece's name on the brand, aging it, and opening it! This is the first sake from the brewery that I have encountered as well. It was also good lukewarm.
Designed with yoshi in yuki silk. Soft and gentle to the palate. Pair it with kumquat spiced candied kumquats. I would like to meet Ms. Michiko Urasato, the female master brewer.
Melon aroma, moderate acidity and sweetness spread out and disappear quickly. It is easy to sip on sake alone. Serve with yellowtail fish and chicken skin. Unique label design.
Ibaraki Local Sake Tour
Made with 100% Hitachinishiki, a rice suitable for sake brewing. Both the rice and yeast are all produced in Ibaraki Prefecture. Refreshing, light, and slightly fruity. Serve with strawberries and mashed baked potatoes.
Nanotsuki, the signature sake of Tsukinoi Shuzo, following Hikoichi. No yeast added. The rice is polished to 80%. The color is a pale gold that makes you think it is an aged sake. Despite its high alcohol content of 20%, it is gentle on the palate, and you can slowly savor the aftertaste. Not only can it be heated, but it can also be enjoyed with water or soda. It can be enjoyed not only heated, but also with water or soda. The depth of its ability to handle a wide range of temperatures is a testament to the skills of Toji Ishikawa, a master of making traditional yeast mash. Sardines simmered with plums (you can also get plums for plum wine at the Tsuki-noi store).
The sake is made and labeled in a way that takes advantage of the climate of Oarai, Ibaraki. It is refreshingly dry when served cold. When heated, it becomes more floral and friendly. I'd like to try it with sea bream or flatfish from Oarai.

It seems to be consumed almost exclusively locally. I had never heard of this brand before. Drink it cold.
It has a soft, light mouthfeel with a good amount of umami, and is crisp and refreshing, so you won't get tired of drinking it.
It's also good lukewarm with sauteed chrysanthemum.
100% Omachi from Okayama Prefecture is used. It has a sweet aroma like an apple. Mild on the palate. It has a sharp taste and should be paired with fatty fish.
