Next, "Ihyakumangoku" type
Aroma of pastry and custard.
It was more moist than Miyama and had a refreshing citrus-like acidity and flavor.
It had a light sweet and sour taste similar to orange puree ✨.

Today I was exploring the Himi area!
We took our time to enjoy all five senses, from the seafood bowls at the market to the natural hot springs and the now famous Amehara Beach ✨.
And finally, we went to Kanazawa to drink some sake from Mr. Noriguchi. I selected the Yamahai set at SAKE Shokudo, which I had been curious about for a while!
I started with the "Miyamanishiki" on the left.
It has a savory aroma of spices and herbs.
Fresh and light on the palate.
The acidity and astringency are combined with the umami of the rice.
The astringency and acidity are well balanced and delicious!
The Himi seafood bowl was such a gem that it was all I could do to keep from smiling 🤤.

The last one was "Sasa Narimasa," which I wanted to try as a history buff!
The aroma is fruity with berries and melon.
The palate is fresh and light. It has a moderate balance between sweet and spicy with just the right amount of florals to keep you from getting tired of drinking it. It has a refined taste that can be enjoyed on its own or with a meal ✨.
Finish with a bowl of black ramen!
And today, we are exploring various places 🥷.

The fifth glass was a local sake from Himi, which was not registered!
Delicate aroma with a muscat flavor.
The mouthfeel is juicy and dry with a mineral taste, similar to "Bakuren" type. The nose has hints of pear and muscat. The spiciness is moderate, but it is more like the same type of flavor. It's a taste that you can really go for it ✨.
I served it with firefly squid sashimi, which I had longed for!

The fourth glass was another glass of Shiga sake!
The aroma is subdued.
It has a soft sweetness that is almost lactic acidic, and a light, hardy sake quality. The taste is contradictory but cohesive, light, and easy to drink. At this point, I had drunk at least 4 gou of sake, but it was so delicious that I could easily drink it again and again!

Hello stst🐦.

Good evening, Pon-chan!
It was really a snowy landscape along the mountains such as Eiheiji. ☃️
It's a shame you don't see it more often, but the Shiga sake was delicious and perfect with the Toyama rice ✨.

The third cup was Shiga sake, caught by the Yamahai word!
The aroma is slightly fermented seasoning type.
It is light on the palate, but has a strong flavor and full of acidity that is typical of Yamahai.
It plays a good duet with the flavor of Shijimi clam soup and is unintentionally delicious and makes you smile!
The taste is followed by a lingering aftertaste of mellow rice flavor and a touch of astringency.
Although it is a Yamahai, it gives the impression of having a moderate habit, and is very refreshing. I think it will be an all-around favorite 👍.

The red label one has been on my mind for a while!
The aroma is gorgeous, almost berry-like.
The mouthfeel is crisp, but the grain-like flavor of rice gradually spreads.
After the slight sweetness comes the punch and sharpness of the dry astringency.
It's not too assertive because it's a ginjo, so it shines as a mid-meal drink ✨.
I had it with white shrimp for the first time in several years!

Yesterday, I visited Maruoka Castle and Eiheiji Temple!
Unfortunately, the weather was very busy with rain and hail, but Eiheiji Temple in the snow was even more solemn and sacred than rumored, and I was so fascinated I had to go to heaven 👼.
After such a stroll in Fukui, I had a sake time in Toyama 👐.
We started with "Denshin".
Banana and gold kiwi aroma.
The mouthfeel is round and yet refreshing. It was a beautiful taste with a core of rice flavor and a rounded combination of spicy, acidic, astringent and a little sweet!

I purchased it in a mini bottle size along with my lunch!
When opened, the bottle has an aroma of muscat, pear and peach.
The palate is crisp and clean, with a punchy spiciness immediately after.
The palate is crisp and clean on the palate, with a punchy spiciness immediately followed by the pure and elegant sweetness of the rice and the astringent umami that finishes the palate with a gentle astringency.
While each of them has its own individuality, they are all well organized and can be enjoyed both during the meal and on their own!
This is a brand that you may not see often, but you can't find it anywhere. I enjoyed it with the Miyagi set 👐.

The ninth nigori of the season was "Higashi Rikishi" 💪, which I got on a trip to Tochigi.
I was looking forward to it as it was my first nigori in a freshly squeezed version!
When I opened the bottle and poured it, the aroma was melon and cemedine-like.
The mouthfeel is clear and round. The palate is clear and round, with a fluffy flavor like that of glutinous rice.
The fruity sweet and astringent taste comes through gradually, but its assertiveness is modest and gives the impression of a moderate type.
The lingering taste is mild, like eating pears or bananas!
When the lees are mixed, the mouthfeel is smooth and milky, like butter or dairy products. And the taste is light yet mellow, calm, and full of rice flavor!
It's so easy to drink, you could go on and on ✨.
This is definitely a stable brand of nigori!
This is what we have been looking for 🤤.

We acquired this 🐻 on our easternmost trip to the mainland last year.
It has been sitting in the fridge for a year watching over us, and now it's time to open the bottle!
When the bottle is opened and poured, it has a mellow aroma with a hint of rice.
The mouthfeel is fresh and light. The spiciness is accompanied by a light rice flavor. It is a crisp, light, spicy, umami type of Simple is Best!
I enjoyed it with mackerel & shark, but I am sure it goes well with seafood!
Still, it's cute 🐻.

This is the long-awaited Kanji version that we harvested during our trip to Inuyama and Kansai last year!
It's been sitting for a year because it's not easy to find, but we'll open the bottle soon.
When we opened the bottle and poured it, the aroma was gorgeous and calm, with hints of melon and pear.
The mouthfeel is mineral and fresh, with a soft touch.
From there, the mellow flavor of the rice spreads softly and gradually!
It has a soft, grainy sweetness, the richness of the rice, a moderate acidity and astringent flavor, and a dry, crisp finish.
It is a delicious wine with solidity and depth of flavor that you will never get tired of drinking ✨.
It has a calm taste similar to the "Umenoyado" that I drank in Nara.
There are still many places I want to visit and brands I want to try in the Kansai region, so I hope to visit again 😌.

I've been curious about this Bodhi Hashihashi nigori sake from the same brewery for a while!
I had longed to get this sake because my favorite sake store was carrying it 🙌.
When I opened the bottle and poured it in, the aroma was subdued, with a thick aroma of cheese and dairy products.
The mouthfeel is round and moist, as if it were enveloping you.
There is some gas and brightness, but it's quite warm and fits in well with the richness of the Omachi.
The sweetness and spiciness are moderate and not sharp, with a slight lactic acidic flavor that makes it easy to drink!
The taste is easy to drink, with a slight astringent taste at the end. The cup will be empty in the blink of an eye as you are drinking it ✨.
I thought it would be more lactic acidic, but I was surprised at how elegant and non-habitual it was!
This makes me want to try a variety of seasonal products 🔥.

I saw my first "Sentoku" label at a sake store, so I bought it without hesitation!
I enjoy the guerrilla event-like experience of encountering the Sentoku series from time to time 👐.
When I opened the bottle and poured it, I found aromas of peaches, plums, and molasses.
The mouthfeel is light, with a sinking touch of juicy sweetness.
The palate is light on the palate, with a touch of juicy sweetness, followed by chestnut and grain-like flavors, and then a hard-edged umami of hot, sour, astringent, and pure crispness.
The first half is the same brewery's "Until the middle of a dream" series.
The second half is similar to the traditional "Sentoku" series.
The second half has a taste similar to the "Sentoku" series, and it tastes like an assortment of "Sentoku" wines!
If you notice, he is also in the top 10 of the top 10 of check-in brands.
We are very grateful for the opportunity to have a chance to meet this rare Miyazaki sake!

The new sake + nigori corps is almost at the end of the season. This time, we opened a bottle of this one that we were particularly interested in!
When the bottle is opened and poured, the aroma is full of freshness like melon and kiwi.
The mouthfeel is clean and fresh. It has the silky texture of "orikarami" and the strength of "arabashiri" on the tongue.
The main flavor is a lush astringent taste. The taste is bright yet punchy, with a milky, mild sweetness and a sharpness that comes from the spiciness!
The three-way balance between the freshness of melon and kiwi, the punch of umami, and the light sharpness is exquisitely delicious ✨.
The same gorgeous freshness as the "Sakiyami" we drank earlier, but with a different vector of presence.
I feel the "Bumpuku" character in the sense that it sits on its haunches👍.

The seventh nigori of the season was "Raifuku", which was harvested together with "Sagaminada".
The word "moromi sake" sounded delicious, and it was as good as its cost performance, so I couldn't resist.
When I opened the bottle and poured it, the aroma was of peaches, pears, and fruit with a yogurt-like flavor.
The mouthfeel is fresh and smooth. The palate is fresh and smooth, with a punch of juicy flavor with the presence of gas + sweet and sour!
It's soft, clear, and bright, and combined with the hint of aroma, it's delicious with a peach and banana feel ✨.
When mixed with lees, the silky and fruit juiciness increases and becomes delicious! However, it disappears crisply at the end, so you can't help but enjoy the sake!
Today we have souvenirs from our trip to Okinawa, so this is a collaboration of Okinawa and Ibaraki!
The moderate sweetness goes perfectly with the jimmy tofu.

The 6th nigori of this season was "Sagaminada" which had excellent cost performance.
The nigori of a brand you have had before is suggestive👍.
When the bottle is opened and poured, it has a fresh aroma with green apple, kiwi and melon.
It is clear, fresh, and light on the palate.
After the soft sweetness comes, it changes to a hard, dry astringent taste. It is dry, but has a moderate taste.
The rice flavor is full and rich. Finally, it disappears with a slight astringent aftertaste.
When the lees are mixed in, the silky and delicious rice flavor is enhanced, and the taste becomes even more balanced. It is well-balanced and easy to enjoy!
A sense of balance that can play an active role during meals ✨.
I really like this bottle!

PB bottle I bought on my trip to Aizu.
There were many colorful brands at the store and I was confused, but I decided to buy this one as a souvenir because the one I had at the inn was so good👍.
We will have it with a glass of "Tenmei" which we got at the same time!
When I opened the bottle and poured it, it had a slight aroma of banana, apple, and spices.
The mouthfeel is moist and oily on the tongue with a spreading effect.
It is mellow and smooth, but at its core, it has a beautiful acidity and purity, with a moderate habit.
There is also a hint of sweetness, like tree nuts, vanilla, and apples with honey!
But it ends up fading away sharply, so you can enjoy it leisurely with elegance and serenity ✨.
The one at the inn was a medium-brewed type, so it was fresh, but this one was a complete turnaround, with a mature, seated flavor.
Both are quintessential "Tenmei" quality!
