Mansakunohana純米吟醸 まんさくの花 槽しずく

すずめ
While it was snowing, we visited Hinomaru Brewery for a tour. It was my first time in Akita and it was so cold...! After the tour and tasting, I had a hard time deciding which one to buy, so I decided to go with the new Ichiban Shibori sake, which has a nice label design. It has a refreshing aroma that is typical of nama-shu, which I love. The rice flavor and sourness is strong, so it goes well with sweets. Of course, it also goes well with iburi-gakko and cheese. Definitely.

We visited a sake brewery and had a tasting. I had a hard time choosing one because they were all delicious... Among them, I chose Wazen Kaiseki because of its fruity aroma. The aroma reminded me of pineapple, and the flavor and acidity of the rice was well balanced and went well with the white sashimi.

This sake made me think again about the cold wholesomeness of sake. It has a gorgeous but calm aroma reminiscent of Muscat, and you can taste the mature flavor and acidity all together. Drinking it with tsukimi-dango (moon viewing dumplings) during the beautiful mid-autumn moon made me feel the autumn slowly.

The aroma of lychee like fruit was gorgeous. It is very tasty because you can taste the acidity along with the matured flavor. It's interesting that they dare not polish the rice so that you can taste the flavor and sweetness of the rice. This is the first time I drank Shichida's 70-50 series, and I wish I had bought it sooner... It goes well with meals that have a robust flavor. The sushi went well with fatty foods and fried oysters.

This is the second bottle of Hiyaoroshi this year. You can taste the flavor that has matured over the hot summer. The acidity is just right, and the mild aroma and sense of unity make this sake a Hiyaoroshi. It is more of a dry sake, but I think this is just right to taste the fullness. I wish I'd had some of the new sake! It went well with Chinese porridge with chicken and ginger. It's also good with cheese.

In addition to the fruity aroma, you can taste the thick acidity and umami at the same time, so you will want to pair it with a well-seasoned meal. It has the characteristics of sake made by Yamahai brewing, but thanks to the fruity aroma, it doesn't feel that heavy. Rather, the sense of unity between the aroma and the flavor is amazing. It is very delicious.

Niigata's light and dry sake is still delicious. You can taste the flavor and crisp dryness that comes from aging the rice in Niigata. I drank it chilled, but I've heard that it's best to warm it up, so I think I'll try it warm next time. It went well with bonito tataki. Of course it is also good with white sashimi.

It was summer drinking before this, but now it's autumn. It's early! The aroma is mild, and it has the firm umami and refreshing acidity typical of hiyaoroshi. It is a sake that is easy to pair with any meal, so it makes you want to drink it with autumn meals in particular. It went well with sashimi of sea bass. Also good with tiramisu!

It has a lucky Koshi label. After a gorgeous aroma that reminds of apples, you can taste a firm Omachi-like flavor and a good acidity. The aftertaste is dry and refreshing. The yeast is M310, so the apple aroma can be felt clearly. I found out this time that the name of the yeast, 310, means Mito. I see....

I've had my eye on the label since last week and was able to buy it this week. It has a gassy feel on the tip of the tongue and a juicy pineapple aroma along with a robust flavor. It is not that sweet and has a nice aftertaste. It went well with sea bream sashimi. Like the Eikoh Fuji sake I bought last time, this sake is also very good.

This is a summer sake, Hoshiryo. It is very hot, so I bought it as a summer sake. The aroma is mildly apple-like, the initial sourness is strong, and then the flavor lingers in the mouth. I would like to buy it again.

It is a sake with a fresh and mellow aroma typical of nama-shu, followed by a firm acidity and a clean aftertaste. It's a very light and refreshing sake, but I was able to reconfirm the deliciousness of sake by tasting the aroma and mild flavor that is typical of nama-shu together. Sake is delicious....

This is the Red following the White. It is also 100% Omachi, but it is oregarashi, so the juiciness is stronger and you can feel the flavor more. Compared to the White, the acidity is a little weaker, so I think the flavor comes out more fully. Unlike the White, it goes well with strong flavored dishes as the concept suggests. I hope I can buy it again next year.

This is my first time drinking it. It has a mild aroma and a good balance of acidity and umami, so it is easy to pair with meals and is very good as a food sake! When paired with a meal, the gentle aroma became fluffy. It is a dry junmai-shu with a clean aftertaste. It goes well with simmered sea bream. There are a lot of sake from Miyagi Prefecture that are easy to pair with meals and make you want to pair them with meals.

It is said that the sake focuses on bringing out the flavor of Omachi. You can fully feel the flavor of Omachi after the tangy gaseous feeling that is typical of raw sake (do you really understand?). The aroma is very fruity. The aroma is also very fruity, with a hint of pear. The acidity is just right, so you can taste the flavor of the rice all the way through. Anyway, it's delicious! It seems to go well with grilled fish or fish dishes with herbs rather than sashimi. It went well with poelee of sea bream.

I am a penguin from Hokkaido who loves sake. It's more fruity than I imagined, with a banana aroma, good acidity, and a dry aftertaste. It's easy to drink and delicious, so it goes down easy. It is a sake that is easy to match with meals. Drinking it with oysters from Atsugishi...I felt the sea of Hokkaido.

We had it with raw oysters, steamed oysters and sea bream sashimi. They were all delicious...! As the concept of this wine is high acidity, you can clearly see that it is intended to be paired with seafood dishes rather than drinking it alone. Because of its high acidity, it also went well with cheese.

This is a dry sake that you will want to drink on a particularly hot day, which is typical of summer. It is said to be super dry, but it has a fruity aroma and the flavor of the rice is strong, so the taste is gentle and the aftertaste is clean. The yeast used in this sake is a secret. I wonder which flower it is. It went well with the sea bream poelee. Delicious...!

You can taste the tangy, gassy, fresh, juicy flavor, followed by a good amount of acidity. The pineapple aroma is also really delicious. Once again, I was able to feel that sake that can be made with only rice, koji, and water is a wonder. I think it is best to drink it well chilled. I enjoyed it even after the second day.
