This is a new restaurant that has recently opened and I am trying a new sake that I have never seen before.
It was called Yamato Kotohajime by Shigemasu.
The days are still hot, but the mornings and evenings seem a little cooler, so I'm having a glass of Kiuchi Sake Brewery's Aki-agari.
I'm drinking it while watching the archived streaming of the 20th anniversary event of the broadcast of Izuru Yoshida's Bar Wandering.

I went into a familiar izakaya in Mito and was told that there was a sake from Fukuoka that would just open my mouth, so I had a drink.
The sake is called "Garden Uguisu" from Kurume City.

When I visited Kasama Inari a while ago, I bought this sake at Sasame Sohei Shoten, a sake brewery literally in front of the gate. Futanayama Shoroku, a sake dedicated to Kasama Inari, of course.

I was looking forward to drinking the "Wa no Tsuki Ikashiroshi Sparkling" made by Tsuki no I Shuzo, a sake brewery in Oarai, which I had supported through crowdfunding.
We also had Chirimen Sansho (Japanese pepper) made with soy sauce from Kurosawa Soy Sauce Store in Hitachinaka City, which arrived together with it.

I drank a bottle of Minanogawa first Shibori-gawa by Tsukuba City Inaba Sake Brewery at an event last week. It was very tasty.

I'm going to drink Buyu Cycle SparkLing, a project to revitalize young sake breweries produced by Takeyu in Yuki City, which I visited on the local sake train the other day, with a shot glass I got at Iba Charity, a bicycle event LuckyFM Ibaraki Broadcasting participated in last week.
It's sparkling, so it's easy to drink.

The other day I went to the brewery to buy some sake. Sake that I went all the way to the brewery to buy tastes especially good.

The Yuki Brewery is currently rebuilding after a fire last year. I'm drinking it while watching a special on the Yuki Brewery on NHK.

Next, after paying a visit to Kasama Inari, we went to Sasame Sohei Shoten. We then went to a soba (buckwheat noodle) restaurant on the street in front of the gate and had a glass of Sasame Sohei Shoten's Shoroku along with their specialty Soba Inari. The menu said it was simply local sake, but it was, of course, Shoroku.

Today we are going on a sake brewery tour in Kasama.
First, we went to Isokura, a new sake culture tenement on the grounds of Isokura Sake Brewery near JR Inada Station.
They had a stone oven pizza in celebration of its opening, so we enjoyed sake and pizza.

Junmai-shu "Kitashizuku" is a continuation of the sake from Hokkaido's Akikashichi, produced by Akira Takada, aka Miss Machinaka.
This is the last sake I bought this time and I am looking forward to the next one!
