This was also served at a corner liquor store that I have been patronizing recently.
The entrée was tuna nama.
It is a calm sake, without much of the shwashiness of the raw sake.

I bought it when I realized that I haven't been drinking much Kyoto sake.
Nama-shu? It was delicious, with a slight fizziness, but still light and crisp.

I had this again at a corner bar on my way home from work. I have no connection or ties to Ibaraki Prefecture, but it tasted nostalgic.

What a habit-free sake!
I enjoyed it with chilled tofu at a corner bar on my way home from work.

I had it with konnyaku and shiitake mushrooms as a side dish at a corner bar on my way home from work.
I can't give you a high-level food report, but it was delicious.
It makes me happy to see sake near my parents' house.

We had it again at the corner bar. Thanks.
An adult sake with a sharp taste.
It has a sharpness, but I personally thought it had a thicker body than Niigata's light dry sake. It is just my personal feeling.

I had a drink at a corner liquor store. Personally, I felt a refreshing flavor similar to that of a honjozo.

We had a drink at a corner bar.
It was served with yam with chili pepper.
The dry, light and refreshing dry sake flowed gently and went well with the dry yam.

At a corner liquor store, I was given a rare Nagasaki sake to drink. It went down my throat with a pear-like aroma.

The sake is served at a corner bar. The sake goes in smoothly.

It is a refreshing sake with no peculiarities.
We had it with sashimi, but it would also go well with carpaccio and other dishes in addition to Japanese cuisine.

I had it hot at the counter of a corner bar. The eggplant and deep-fried tofu stew was a nice accompaniment to the sake.

I bought it without thinking too much about it, thinking that I had not drunk much Yamanashi sake. I tried it with sashimi, simmered dishes, and even curry and rice as a mealtime sake, and it was a deeply nostalgic sake that could be enjoyed with any of these dishes.

Fukui's Kuroryu. I remember that the one I drank before tasted like a wild samurai, with a thick, dry core and a robust taste, but this "Ryu" had a refined taste with a sharpened umami, or a river flowing with a ginjo aroma. So this is a ginjo.

It is an elegant sake with a subtle rice smell and a flavor that flows without leaving a trace.
I drank it at home at a room temperature of 20 degrees Celsius due to lack of space in the fridge, but it might have tasted even better if it had been slightly chilled.

I don't know if it's appropriate to call it "full-bodied and aromatic," but that's how I felt. I drank it at room temperature, but it would be interesting to cool it down or, conversely, warm it up a little.

The sake we received.
It is an unfiltered junmai sake made from the toji's home-grown rice. It has a thicker body, but not the sticky, thick texture that is often (I think) found in nama-shu.
I like it. Sake lovers will probably like it.

Sake from Ishikawa Prefecture, just as the name suggests. It was more like a smooth ride through the rice than a frontal impression of the rice. Personally.
I pray that Noto sake will be available again soon.

(Ri is for mouthfuls).
I bought it because it was written about ultrafiltration and other attractive things. Also, it had a cool name.
It was a bit too strong at 19% alcohol by volume, and I was more comfortable drinking it as a watered-down junmai sake. However, I was glad to be able to feel the origin or roots of the sake and wonder how it will grow from there.
