A communal drinking party with like-minded friends in town! We have it here sometimes, Kangiku. Since we are a group of drinkers, we usually start with a glass of sake and then have a sweet potato on the rocks, so I invited some sake lovers and started to promote Kangiku. I took a sip and found it to be delicious! And, with that, I decided to try it, and the circle of Kangiku and sake lovers grew wider and wider. Aizan is a rare sake from the Tokushima Kenchi area. However, it has a mild, rice flavor rather than the sweetness of Aizan. The aroma is banana? Perfect with sashimi. It was an endless combination!

Good sake is in the back of the refrigerator. So it was not easy to introduce this sake. Koshiro Nishiki Toku Junmai. Special junmai is the best sake for rice wine! But it is the royal road of Tasake, and both Hanabukiyuki and Yamadanishiki are delicious. And then there is Kojo Nishiki. It is the first sake brewing rice developed by Aomori Prefecture. I heard that Nishida Sake Brewery is now the exclusive grower of this rice. When the bottle is opened, it has a very nice aroma. I wonder if it is banana. It is fresh, solid, and has a distinct outline. It is delicious.

Shirasagi, limited to Yuwaku Onsen, is available in freshly squeezed and fire-aged versions. It is in 300 ml bottles due to refrigerator and other circumstances. I bought it in the summer, but because it was a small bottle, it went to the back of the house. Finally, I decided to drink it now that I am back in Ishikawa. Local sake is always on the back burner. Yachiya's sake is very much Kanazawa's sake, with many brands such as Kagatsuru and Maeda Toshiie that remind me of Kanazawa. This one is a tie-up with Yuyuu Onsen, a hot spring located in the backwaters of Kanazawa. It has a rather gorgeous ginjo aroma and a delicious rice flavor.

Here's one from my senpai in Akita, who told me that MK-X is a yeast project. Hinomaru's original sake rice, Hinomaru, was also a first! The enlightenment was opened. And this year, yellow malted rice was used instead of the usual white malted rice. This is what rich acidity from rice sweetness means. As you can see, the senior sake drinkers made the right choice. I am amazed. This makes the cup go down a notch. It is delicious!

This is the second one from a senior member of the Fukushima community. In fact, his latest guess is this one. He said, "I think it's a good idea to take a step back. It seems to be a good idea. Not rushing, not rushing, and not loosening up. Good words for us retirees. Fruity sweetness and acidity? This is delicious. I want to drink more. Made with Fukushima sake rice, Yume no Kou.

Not at a sake party, but at a university alumni meeting, two bottles were offered to me by a senior student from Fukushima. Usually it is Daishichi, but this time it was Hirotogawa's sake. It is said to be stable and delicious and highly regarded even in Fukushima. I was already aware of this as Mr. Hirotogawa, the head of the Hirotogawa Department, recommends it here, but hearing it directly from ordinary sake drinkers makes me feel its value even more. The fruity flavor from the gorgeous daiginjo-like aroma is delicious, and is a very popular bottle.

The love for Miyagi never stops. Following the study tour, I attended a certain drinking party held at Ikebukuro Tobu. It was all-you-can-drink and each person brought his or her own alcohol. Here is what I brought. Miyagi sake, a brand I had not yet tasted. Yumegen has umaguchi and dry sake. It is indeed a refreshing sake, but it also has a delicious rice flavor. It has a thick and sturdy taste. The rice seems to be Kura-no-Hana. It seems that the rice is Kura-no-Hana.

The second day in Miyako, Kamaishi, and Kesennuma🎵 was spent in Kesennuma, the first visit to this area in 38 years. During the day, I was impressed by the ruins of Kesennuma Marine High School, a relic of the Great East Japan Earthquake, and at night, I was thankful to be alive thanks to the seafood of Sanriku. On the second day of our fulfilling Miyagi trip, we had a special menu at the hotel: Otokoyama bonito sake. Normally, I would not buy this kind of snack, but the woman I was with from Ichinoseki recommended it as a great dish. Even if it's not bonito, it washes away the umami and goes well with oily sashimi. It is also good when served cold, as the acidity is more pronounced than with cold sake. Ebisu is also a good omen as it is a sake from the sea. It is a pity that Mizutori-ki Hiyadoroshi was sold out.

Here is the third drink! Kesennuma is Otokoyama Shuzo's Sotenden. The owner kindly opened a bottle of this Hoya Boy label for us! The first sip! It is a crisp and refreshing sake made with Miyagi Prefecture's original Kura-no-Hana (flower of the brewery). The aroma is understated, and the subtle sweetness is nice. The triangular fried fish from the Definition Mountain as a side dish was also a nice touch. Matsushima and Oshima in the background!

If you see this, you must drink it. This is the second glass in the comparison. This is a classic of Miyagi, or even of the whole country. Hidakami. I love this one. It's dry and full of flavor. Good Hidakami.

Late at night in Matsushima, we went to Rakuraku, a restaurant in the hotel. I went in with low expectations, but the taste and atmosphere exceeded my expectations! Lots of good sake too! So, it's the Matsushima Sake Festival. First up was the Sengen Masamune. The label featuring Lord Date Masamune's military fan with a red circle on a gold background is a nice motif. The first sip has a gorgeous, dignified aroma! This sake is made from Yamada Nishiki produced in Sendai.

A rare company trip nowadays. Another trip to Tohoku Miyagi. On the first day, we took the standard course from the ruins of Aoba Castle to Matsushima. Rainy Matsushima was also nice! Mutou Sake Shop was right in front of the hotel. When we took a peek, we found a lot of the best drinkers in Miyagi. After much deliberation, I decided to try this one. I thought that Wataya no Aki-Wata was Kawaguchi Natto, but they also have Yamada-Nishiki! We chose a sake from Kurihara, a mountainous area in spite of being in Matsushima, and it was the right choice. I brought it to the hotel banquet and enjoyed it with everyone. It was a perfect match for oysters grilled to culture and mezasu tempura. It is a classic Miyagi sake that goes down easy and is a perfect food sake.

Don't stop Noto's sake! The fourth Noto support sake. This is a collaboration between Tsuruno Shuzoten of Tanisen and Tenryohai Shuzo of Garakudai. Tsuruno's Ishikawa was also known for its beautiful and dry image, but the collaboration between the two breweries was even more amazing. The gentle ginjo aroma was followed by a crisp, clean, and light taste. It is truly a light and dry sake from Echigo Sado. It is hard to believe that it is 13.5 degrees Celsius. This is delicious!

Hana Yuu, which has a great reputation. Finally, I was able to drink it. The aroma is mild, but has a nice melon-like flavor. The sweetness was more pronounced from the second day, and the rice flavor was also good. I wonder if it is a hiyaoroshi-like flavor that I saved carefully.

Thank you, Maecin. It was delicious. It was hard to buy it at Mizukami-san and finally I got it. When I was a student, Ryoseki was a sake for the fierce drinkers in a bottle with Takashimizu, Hakuraman, etc. Today, all Akita sake is beautiful. Perhaps it was delicious in the past too?

Momentum. The fridge is full. I always put it off for a special occasion. I decided to drink it. Mr. Yamada visited the brewery in the spring and bought it. It was produced in Kasai City, Hyogo Prefecture, which is rare for Shinshu Kamerei, which is particular about its locality. After all, it has a swell that only Yamada-Nishiki can produce. The aroma is rich. The center of the taste is sweetness, which also comes from the rice. And the tangy sensation that goes down your throat is exquisite. It is exquisite. It went well with pickles, a Kyoto souvenir.

The summer sake series continues. I got this shiso maki on a trip to Tohoku. I paired it with a simple, rustic dish of sweet miso wrapped in shiso leaves and deep-fried. The sweetness and slight bitterness of the miso was a nice touch. When paired with sashimi, the flavor of the rice is an endless loop of deliciousness. It was a strange feeling. Is this the ultimate food sake? This sake is brewed from Hitomebore, the most commonly eaten rice in Miyagi Prefecture. The recent sharp rise in rice prices is a cause for concern.

Good evening, Mr. WOM! I had a bottle of Hitotsuban no Koi for the first time at a drinking party a while ago, and I remember it was a delicious sake, mild and well-balanced 😋. I'm worried about the rising rice price 😅.

Good evening, Mr. WOM 😃Shiso maki goes great with sake, doesn't it? Whenever I go back to my hometown, I always buy some 👍It's a horrible food that fills my stomach with sake and rice endlessly 😱.

WOM
Thank you, ma-ki😊There are few Yamada Nishiki and Gin no Iro dedicated to sake, so it is natural that they are expensive. If Hitomebore and Koshi, which are commonly eaten, are more expensive than Yamada Nishiki, there will be fewer people making sake rice, and sake will be more expensive. It is troubling.

Thanks Wakata 😊. I got the ones from Aizu and Furukawa this time. I thought they were from Miyagi, since they seem to be available in Yamagata and Iwate as well. I would like to compare the flavors of the different regions.

This is also a Sendai home-drink. A friend of mine who likes dry sake prepared it for me. This sake is from Hirosaki City, Aomori Prefecture. It is said to have once dominated the market with a brand of sake called "Joubari" (ordinary sake). It is said to have been reborn as a brewery of special name sake in small quantities from regular sake and honjozo, and this one is not dry or sweet, but rather umami. The banana-like aroma was pleasant!

At an acquaintance's house in Sendai, Miyagi's oldest sake brewery, Uchigasaki Sake Brewery. The brewery is famous for the time-consuming and labor-intensive sake brewing process. This is a gem brewed with Manamusume, a sake produced in Miyagi Prefecture. The aroma reminds me of pineapple, and the sweetness is moderate and skinny, which is typical of Miyagi sake. It is delicious.

I came back from a trip to Tohoku. The sake I bought was mainly hiyaoroshi. Since the days are still hot, here is summer sake. Abeno summer sake. Refreshing blue label. We are in the middle of a scene meal, and like Abé, it is sweet and acidic. But it is not clingy and goes perfectly with the meal. Today, squid radish. I wonder if the aroma is muscat. Koji rice is Gohyakumangoku and Kake rice is Koshibuki for rice. Both are from Niigata. I think Ihyakumangoku has the crispness. Koshi-ibuki is rice for rice, but I guess it does a good job too. Abe-san is not off the mark either.
