We opened a bottle of "Amano-do," a limited edition daiginjo from Tendo City, famous for producing shogi pieces, which we obtained on our expedition. It has a clean, clear mouthfeel and a crisp finish. I don't often drink Daiginjos, but I was honestly impressed by such a clear taste. It is too good to be a limited edition travel sake, a luxurious and wonderful bottle. Delicious ‼️

The first bottle of "Dewazanzan" draft sake from "Dewazakura", which was encountered at a liquor store on the road trip, was opened. From the first sip, you can taste the packed flavor and moderate sweetness. The aftertaste is also pleasant, and you can't help but drink more. The alcohol content is a little high at 17% because it is a draft sake, but it is so easy to drink that you will not notice it unless you are told. The label says, "You can also enjoy the matured taste by aging at low temperature," but we decided to give up on this one. I can only hope for a change in taste when it is matured. Delicious ‼️

We opened a bottle of "Snow Petal" from Bunraku Reborn, brewed mainly by the young brewers of Bunraku, which we met last year and became interested in. The first sip has a fruity flavor with a delicious spread of umami. The alcohol content is a bit high at 16 degrees because it is a draft sake, but I didn't mind at all and it went down my throat easily. It is a bottle that we are looking forward to pairing with winter delicacies. Please give it a try if you come across it. Delicious ‼️

We opened a bottle of "Matsu no Midori", which was the first time we had received it as a congratulatory gift. This sake is the only sake used in Omotesenke tea ceremonies and is said to go well with Kyoto cuisine and Kyoto kaiseki. We will enjoy it with oden. It has a soft sweetness and a clean aftertaste that cuts through easily. When paired with dashi (Japanese soup stock) dishes, the two complement each other's flavors and further enhance the deliciousness of the dish. It is delicious on its own, but when paired with food, it gives it even more depth. Delicious: ❗️

I opened a bottle of Dewazakura's "Yamahai-shikomi," which was recommended to me at a sake shop on my trip as a sake that would be good for warming up. The first sip was cold. The pleasant acidity and clean taste were impressive. Next, we enjoyed it warmed. The pleasant acidity remains, while the rich umami flavor fills the mouth. It would be great with oden with dashi broth. A switch-hitter that can be enjoyed cold or warmed. Delicious. ‼️

Opened a cup of Oguni Sakuragawa sake from Yamagata, which I got on an expedition. It has a guttural taste that goes down your throat and a sweetness that lingers afterward. The addition of brewer's alcohol gives it a strong sweetness, so you can enjoy it with a strong-flavored ekiben on your trip, or if you want to drink it slowly at home, you can try heating it up. If you drink it slowly at home, you may enjoy it even more by heating it up. It is delicious.

A cup of sake obtained on an expedition. We opened a bottle of "Narusegawa" with train sake. When the lid was opened, there was a sweet aroma. The taste is rich and mellow with a sweet aftertaste. It goes well with ekiben, and if you want to drink it slowly at home, it would be good as a heated sake. A bottle that is a pleasure to drink by train. Delicious: ❗️

Long time no see. The Dewazakura Brewery in Yamagata does not sell directly, so we opened a bottle of this one we got from a neighboring liquor store on our train trip. It has a beautiful acidity and a tight, umami flavor. As a food sake, it seems to go well with a variety of dishes. It is a bottle that is comfortable when combined with the train's shaking. Delicious: ‼️

We opened a bottle of Otokoyama Honten's "Sotenden", which we had never had before, at a nearby liquor store. It has a fresh fruity taste and a pleasant mouthfeel. The impression is consistently refreshing from the first sip to the last. Although the alcohol content is high at 17%, it is a beautiful sake that can be drunk without hesitation. It is a bottle that makes you want to try other brands of "Soutenden". Delicious: ‼️

We opened a bottle of "Junmai Ginjo SILVER7 Unfiltered Nama Sake" from Yokoyama, which we got at a liquor store we visited a little while ago. It has a slight fizz on the tongue and a pleasant umami that expands with a sizzling sensation. The depth of flavor makes it a perfect match for oden and o-nabe (hot pot). This is a bottle that makes me want to visit the brewery on Iki Island someday. Delicious ‼️

We opened a bottle of "Shuzo no Uta" (poem of the brewery), a limited edition from Houraisen in Shinshiro City, which we came across at a liquor store we visited on a short trip. The taste is rich. It has a strong flavor and a pleasant aftertaste. It was drunk cold, but it would also be enjoyable warmed up. The label was inspired by the "blood-dyed camp drums that inspired the castle soldiers during the Battle of Nagashino. The label is a good reason to drink this bottle. Delicious. ‼️

This is the second bottle of "Umakoi" from "Asakai" that I got unexpectedly. This one was opened as a heated sake recommended by the brewery. When drunk warmed, the umami spreads more quickly than when drunk cold, and you are fully immersed in the depth of flavor. It can be served with oden, dote-ni, hot stew, or any other hot dish. It is a truly delicious sake with the vigor of the horse framed by the autumn leaves on the label. Ma-i: ‼️

We opened a bottle of "Orikarami" from "Ganki", which we met at a liquor store we visited a little while ago. It has a clear, clear flavor and a pleasant nourishing taste that comes later. It has a deep flavor that can be paired with a wide range of autumnal delicacies. It looks like a four-part bottle, but it is a smaller 500 ml bottle, and I found myself thinking that I would finish it in one night. Delicious: ‼️

Sake of the season for me. Otter Otter's Tankoba Kumi. It is a twice-a-year product, but when I see it, I know from the liquor store shelves that autumn has arrived. The aroma of ginjo is gorgeous, and as it passes down the throat, you can taste the fresh sweetness of the fruit, like biting into a melon. Enjoying it with food is fine, but if you pair it with a simple, nutty snack, as if you were facing the flavor of the sake head-on, you will be intoxicated by the deliciousness of sake. I hope I can make time to face this sake again next year. It is such a bottle for me. Delicious ‼️

This is the sake that got me hooked on sake. I opened a bottle of "Yami Naraku Akimizu," my favorite sake from Eiko Fuji. It has a pleasant taste with a clear, clean flavor and acidity that quietly passes down the throat. Whether you drink it by itself or pair it with autumnal delicacies, it is a wonderful sake that will envelop you in a feeling of happiness. A bottle that we hope will be enjoyed again next year. Delicious ‼️

I opened a bottle of "Umakoi", the first autumn-aged sake from "Asakai", which has been our family's New Year's sake. It has a mellow taste with a strong, robust flavor. It seems like it would go perfectly with grilled, fatty, salt-crusted swordfish in the fall. The alcohol content is a little high at 17%, but you can drink it without worrying about the alcohol content. Delicious. ‼️

Today, we opened our first bottle of "Betsuwai" from "Kurosho Senjo", which we were attracted to last year because of the cute animals on the label. We drank it cold and were impressed by its clear mouthfeel and pleasantly clean acidity. As the temperature gradually rises, the umami comes to the fore gradually. This is a perfect sake for long autumn evenings, as it changes its face depending on the temperature range. Delicious: ‼️

Today, we opened a bottle of Shoryu Horai, a collaboration sake from the oddball "Megane Dedicated. I was a little curious about this "glasses only" sake. If it is a collaboration with my favorite sake brewery "Oyataka Sake Brewery," I would buy it without hesitation. It has a tight acidic flavor and a gentle sweetness that expands. When I put on my glasses to check the specifications, I was not able to find out anything about it because it is not open to the public. The glasses wipe that was distributed with the bottle was also a nice touch. Delicious ❗️

We opened a bottle of "Anastasia Orange" from Koei Chrysanthemum, which we encountered on a short trip to the city. The soft sweetness spreads gently, followed by a pleasant acidity. The alcohol content is kept at a low 12%, and it seems to go well with both before and after a meal. This is a bottle that shows the broadness of "Koei Kiku". Delicious: ‼️

Expedition train sake. We opened a bottle of this one, which has a cute little deformed golden shachi. It is a regular sake with a little bit of a deformed "kinshachi" (golden shachi). It is also enjoyable when heated. A sake that makes you want to enjoy the encounters you have on your travels. Delicious: ❗️
