We opened a bottle of cool summer sake with a goldfish of "Onogawa Tenka", the first brand we came across at a liquor store we visited on a short trip. It has an impressive light taste with a clean and crisp acidity. It will be a good partner for dishes that require a squeeze of lemon. It also seems to go well with summer vegetables. It is a bottle that is different from the usual liquor store. Delicious ‼️

We are late from Tanabata, but we opened a bottle of "Hakurakusei-style" Daichi bottle from "DATE SEVEN SEASON 2". From the first sip, it has a robust umami and sweetness that seems to be rooted to the ground. The aftertaste has a hint of bitterness. The rice used for this sake is also Yamadanishiki, but the taste is different from that of the Umi bottle, and you can sense the difference in the brewery's production. This is a bottle that will make next year's Tanabata fun. Delicious ‼️

We are late from Tanabata, but we opened a bottle of "Urakasumi style" Umi bottle from "DATE SEVEN SEASON 2". From the first sip, a gentle sweetness spread softly and a slight bitterness and umami spread slowly. The gentle and soft taste reaffirms the excellence of Yamada-Nishiki as a sake rice. This is a bottle that will make you look forward to next year's Tanabata Festival. Delicious: ‼️

We opened a bottle of "Kurage" from "Abekan", a limited edition of Shiogama in Miyagi Prefecture, which we obtained on our expedition. The first sip has a beautiful taste with a soft umami and lingering flavor that disappears in a flash. It gives the impression that it would be a good match for fresh summer vegetables or fish that has been tightly tightened with acidity, such as vinegared mackerel. This is a collaboration with Urakasumi, and there is also an Urakasumi version of "Kurage". I can't help but want to taste that one as well. Delicious: ‼️

Expedition & Train Sake & Cup Sake. The first "Sawanoizumi" special junmai cup sake. It has a robust taste with a solid umami foundation. As you drink it with the snacks, you will strangely feel the lightness little by little, just like a swan taking off strongly. A robust sake that can also be enjoyed warmed up. Delicious. ❗️

Expedition & Train Sake. Opened a mini bottle of "Natsuwata" from "Wataya". Just like the label with its beautifully blooming lotus flowers, it has a gentle flavor that softly spreads across the palate and a pleasant acidity that lingers in the aftertaste. It is a versatile player that can be paired with a wide variety of snacks. A luxurious bottle of train sake. Delicious: ‼️

We opened the first bottle of "Sehrei no Ichi" that we got on our trip. The taste is pleasant to the tongue with a slight effervescence and a salty balance of umami and bitterness. Even if you keep drinking it, you will never get tired of the pleasant umami. A bottle that will impress you with new encounters on your travels. Delicious ‼️

Expedition & Train Sake. A bottle of "Special Junmai Namaisake" from Iwate's "Drunken Sen" was opened. It is light and crisp on the palate. It has a beautiful flavor that is perfect for the sweaty weather. I am sipping it in the car, but I think I would drink it in gulps if it were served with food. It is a bottle that I could feel the real pleasure of train sake. Delicious ❗️

A little late spring sake. We opened a bottle of "Peach Color Light Nigori" from "Tenzan". As the label says (⚠️), the bottle was opened and closed repeatedly, and by the time it was finally ready to drink, the two layers of cloudy water, which had been neatly separated, were now mixed together and a faint peach color was seen. The taste is light on the palate with a gently spreading sweetness. It is light, with an alcohol content of 10%, so if you drink it on a sweaty day, you will finish it in no time. It is a great bottle that makes you want to drink other brands of Tenzan. Delicious ‼️

Purple Space" has been the most helpful to us in the first half of this year. We opened a bottle of "Ramune Bottle" attracted by its cute label. I opened the bottle with trepidation at ⚠️, which warned me to open the bottle. The golden colored supernatant and pure white lees mixed together from the bottom of the bottle, and in the blink of an eye, it became a cloudy nigorizake. The taste is a strange combination of sake, sparkling, and sweet sake, with a refreshing acidity and lactic sweetness. If served blindfolded, one would have to rely on the faint scent of ginjo to recognize it as sake. The ramune bottle is also cool to the eye. A bottle that can be enjoyed even when drinking outside with a packed lunch. Delicious. ‼️

The first bottle of Haneya's summer sake, Summer Junmai Ginjo, was opened. It has a fresh, clean aroma that is typical of nama-shu, and a clean taste that goes down the throat easily. It has an honest flavor that makes you want to drink it with a sip in the sweaty weather. This is my first summer sake from Haneya, and I definitely want to try it again next year. Delicious: ‼️

Attracted by the cute otter label, I opened a bottle of "Summer Nigori" from "Takijumo". First, a sip without stirring. The aftertaste was clean and sharp. Next, we stirred it and took a sip. The impression is that a soft taste has been added to the neat impression, and the umami has increased. The label lists the brewer's recommended drinking method as "1:1 with cider in a glass filled with ice. I have no experience with sake cocktails, but this one seems to go well with it. The cool label and taste of this bottle is exactly what I imagined. Delicious ❗️

A first-time encounter at a local liquor store. We opened a bottle of "Wolf Flame" from a brewery that brews "Chichibu Nishiki" in Saitama. Pouring it into a sake cup, I found it to be a beautiful cloudy white orikara. The taste is clear with little cloying flavor that goes down your throat easily. As you drink it and the temperature rises, you can taste the mellow flavor. I wanted to drink "Chichibu Nishiki," a regular sake, to feel the difference in taste. Delicious: ❗️

I went out to a nearby liquor store and opened a bottle of Noon Crescent, the first time I've had Koei Kiku's Noon Crescent. I opened the bottle slowly, feeling a bit nervous when I was warned to open the bottle. I sipped it from a large cup, hoping for a nice, smooth sipping experience. It has a pleasant aroma and a slight effervescence that goes down the throat. The pleasant acidity and refreshing fruitiness can be felt. I think it is irresistibly delicious when drunk well chilled on a sunny, sweaty day. This is one of my favorite seasonal wines from "Koei Kiku". Delicious: ‼️

Kumazawa Shuzo, a brewery in Chigasaki, Shonan, opened a bottle of "Yokohama Soul" brewed with Gohyakumangoku from Yokohama. It has a soft mouthfeel and a gently expanding rice flavor. The taste is gentle and clean, betraying in a good way the impression of sake rice produced in Yokohama. It is a mysterious bottle that makes you feel like you are in the countryside in Yokohama. Delicious. ‼️

I opened a bottle of "Miyamizu no Hana", a blue sake bottle in a beautiful blue box that I received as a souvenir from my trip. It was served chilled, and the taste was crisp and clear. As time goes by, the flavor of the rice expands as it approaches room temperature. It seems to show a different face when warmed to lukewarm. I thought it was wonderful to enjoy new encounters with sake that we receive as souvenirs.

We opened a bottle of the 10th anniversary label of "Ni-Rabbit", one of our favorite brands since we first encountered it at a local liquor store. The usual Omachi 48 has a "異" character added to it. The taste is pleasantly balanced between acidity and umami, and the mouthfeel is firm with a strong umami flavor. I couldn't figure out what made it different from the usual Omachi, but it didn't matter in front of the deliciousness. Ni-Utsuri is already in its 10th year. Compared to Maruishi Brewery's 333rd anniversary in 2023, this bottle may not have been born yet, but it is one that I hope to be associated with for a long time to come. Delicious ‼️

Today, we opened a bottle of our favorite "Nito" kijo sake. It has a good balance of acidity and umami, and a soft sweetness that spreads gently on the palate. It is better as an aperitif or an after-dinner drink than as a mid-meal drink. The 500ml bottle is a bit extravagant, but I thought it would be nice to drink it as a celebratory drink on a special occasion. Delicious ‼️

Sake from Kanagawa Prefecture, which was given to us as a gift. I opened a bottle of "Hakone Kaido" which I have never had before. It was served chilled and had a full-bodied, robust flavor. When I ate it with Wasabi-zuke (pickled horseradish), which I received as a gift, the rich flavor flowed smoothly and beautifully, giving it a mysterious delicious taste. It is good cold, but it can also be enjoyed warmed. I was impressed by the good combination of local sake and local food. Delicious ❗️

We opened a bottle of our favorite "Ni-Uto" "Light Nigori Sparling". When we drank it before, it was the usual pattern of rabbits facing each other, but this time it was a baby monkey holding something bad............................ As the bottle opening warning says, it took a few minutes to open, and after a few minutes of holding it for a few minutes, I finally got a gulp. The aroma is pleasantly lactic, and the mouthfeel is a mixture of pleasant acidity and umami. Among sparred sake, this matches my personal taste perfectly. I suddenly thought that it would be delicious to drink in the sun on a warm day. Delicious: ‼️
