A freshly opened special junmai sake recommended by an izakaya in Sendai. The strong acidity and light sweetness were very pleasant, and I enjoyed a different taste from the dry sake I usually choose.

Kariho六舟 純米吟醸
Sh_Shuji
I wanted to drink some Akita sake at the sake bar I sometimes visit, but they didn't have Kakuemon, so instead I tried Kariho for the first time!
A beautiful sake with a light acidity followed by a rich spread of gorgeous umami!
It will be a regular drink for us from now on!
The Iburi ginger with cream cheese that we ordered as a side dish was also a perfect match!

Yamato Shizuku was recommended to us at an izakaya in Sendai.
It was a delicious sake that gently washed down the restaurant's signature handmade shimishi tsumire, oden, and fatty amberjack!

I had no idea that there was a historical sake brewery in Osaka.
It was recommended to me at a sake bar in Morioka City.
It is a delicious sake with a well-balanced flavor and a light acidity.
I enjoyed it while eating sashimi and potato salad with smoked gakko.
The sake swamp is deep...

I first drank this sake when it was recommended to me at an oden tavern near Morioka Station.
It was a little sweet, but did not cling to the tongue, and had a good balance of umami and acidity.
It was a delicious sake that was worth the challenge. It was a bit expensive, but we will have to order again next time. ❗️

First attempt at a sake brewery in Wakayama. It was a delicious sake with a rich, junmai daiginjo-like mouthfeel, but with a sweetness that was not clingy.

Junmai Ginjo from Tochigi Prefecture recommended by Gon, an izakaya in Sapporo/Raccoon Street.
It was very smooth and mellow on the palate, but the rich amino acid flavor spread later, and the lingering taste was very delicious Japanese with a slow spreading aftertaste.
Since this is a restaurant where many locals gather and where the owner has his own special Tsumami, there was no local sake from Hokkaido on the menu.
Tsumami notes: grilled hamo (hamo), grilled leek, raw oysters, scallops, tuna

Kagatobi" hiyaoroshi recommended at a sake tavern I recently started visiting.
It has the impression of old-fashioned sake with a stronger flavor than the regular "Kagatobi".
It enhanced the sweetness of the Thai fish among the sashimi!

Junmai Ginjo-shu recommended by Izakaya/Matsuya in Hirosaki.
It was a perfect match for the 2,200 yen set meal, which included a hairy crab/zuwai crab with plenty of miso, sashimi, betara-zuke (a type of pickled radish), fried egg, grilled gindara with sake lees, and unlimited refills of Aomori brand rice "Bolt from the sky".
