AramasaNo.6 X-type純米生酒

ZIMA
It's been a long time since I have had a new policy, and a long time since I have had a No. 6. I had a chance to buy it this time, too. It is delicious. The low alcohol content may be one of the reasons, but the freshness of this unpasteurized sake stands out from other Shinmasa. It has a sweetness that is not at all cloying and can be enjoyed as a mealtime sake. I look forward to having another chance to try it again.

Sake for the first time in a long time. And this is Akabu. Today we opened the bottle for oden. Akabu has an image of being fresh and fruity, but this one has a more forward rice flavor like a daiginjo, but with a slight effervescence, making it more suitable for oden than expected! It is delicious!

Purchased at the usual liquor store. Sentori is going to change to a "sake brewing" method from next season. It is a fire-brewed sake, but it is very fresh with a slight effervescence. It has a sweet taste, but it is not clingy and is very easy to drink!

It was a little past the fifteenth night, but I bought it at my usual liquor store. Unlike the usual orientation, it has a refreshing sharpness, but the umami flavor goes through easily. It is said to have been fire-quenched once. The color is slightly golden. It goes well with meals!

This is not sake but an apple liquor cidre. It is made by Sentori. We had this cider last year, but this year the lineup has been expanded to include three types. It has a dry taste with a low sweetness, and the flavor and aroma of apples are very nice. It is delicious!

Sado Sake! I came across this at my usual store. There is no "Kanetsuru" on the label, but it must be Kanetsuru. It is a fresh and full-bodied sake with a slightly effervescent taste and the umami of the rice spreading out in a flash and then cutting off cleanly. It is delicious!

I bought this one when I visited the brewery the other day. It is a raw sake, so it is only available here. I told them I like sweet sake and they recommended it to me. As ordered, the sweetness spread in my mouth. The aftertaste is very smooth and very tasty! I will buy it again when I go back.

When I visited Mie, I dropped by a sake brewery, but Shimizu Seizaburo Shoten did not offer tours, so I was referred to a nearby liquor store. There was also a bottle that was served at the Ise-Shima Summit, but this time we chose FLINT, which is only available here. By the way, Saku is not basically raw sake, but fire-aged sake. We had it at the camp. It has a full flavor of rice and is easy to pair with meals. Delicious!

I bought this when I visited the brewery the other day. To tell the truth, it was my first time to drink Sawanoi properly. It is a summer sake, so they only distribute it to local stores. The sake looks cool and tastes refreshing. It is perfect for summer.

This is delicious! I've been getting a lot of Akabu lately, and while it has the sweetness and slight fizziness that I like, the aftertaste is refreshing on another level. I would definitely buy it again if I come across it again.

It has been a long time since I have seen Akabu. It is a sake that the young master brewer is challenging himself with. The rice is Omachi. It is a very tasty sake with a strong sweetness, but it is very refreshing! Akabu is still delicious!

Urakasumi is a familiar sake that is often served in izakaya (Japanese style pubs). This time we had a special junmai sake. Compared to the regular lineup, Urakasumi is refreshing and tasty, and this one is even more delicious with a noticeable slight effervescence! It goes well with meals.

It has been a long time since we have had an Akabu. This junmai ginjo has a lineup that includes Yamadanishiki and Omachi. The Yamadanishiki has a strong umami and sweetness in the front. It is very delicious. As one would expect from Akabu.

A miso shop we stopped by on our trip to Nasu handled a lot of local sake and recommended it to us as a sake that goes well with hot pot. It is one of the young toji's various challenges in the limited edition of Hitotaru, and is called Re: because it is a re-engineering of the Kuho sake he made a long time ago. I usually drink sweet, slightly sparkling sake, but this one is delicious with full-flavored umami and a smooth, smooth taste!

It has been a while since I have had Colors. I am sure that I have had this wine before, but it is very easy to drink and goes down very smoothly, with a low sweetness and slight effervescence, while still having a Shinsei-like flavor. The label says it will mature and become more perfect after 3-4 years of cold aging, but I opened the bottle...!

Sado Sake. It seems that they have a long-standing relationship with their usual liquor store, and that it is a sake that is not often sold outside of the prefecture. It was highly recommended and we had it. The famous brewery is Kintsuru. The sake is made from 100% naturally grown rice on Sado Island and has a smooth taste with a great umami flavor. It has a smooth taste with a clean aftertaste and is truly a delicious sake. I would definitely like to have it again if I have the chance!

Today we celebrated with a second bottle, a sparkling Niimasa. It was quite effervescent, and although I succeeded in opening the bottle, it suddenly spurted out while I was drinking it, making it very difficult. The fizzy, crisp taste and the alcohol content of less than 10 degrees make it perfect for drinking with food.
