Souvenirs] Untasted brands from Fukushima, a gold medal winning kingdom full of legends, at the Roadside Station "Fukushima" in Osasao, Fukushima City during the Tohoku tour in September. It is indeed a local sake kingdom. Posters of Japan's top gold medal-winning sake and a lot of undrinkable brands. I bought a packet and went for this one. This one is made with Fukunoka, developed by Fukushima Prefecture. It was made for highly refined sake. Mild ginjo aroma. Soft sweetness and rice flavor. Delicious. Easy to drink.

Japanese people are fond of living things. Japanese people are fond of living creatures. Names of alcoholic beverages include dragons, tigers, dragonflies, cicadas, butterflies, and so on. As an aside, it is said that only in Japan do people love insects. In addition, plants such as chrysanthemums and cherry blossoms are also used in sake names. Among these, cranes and turtles are often used as symbols of happiness, but cranes seem to be used more often than turtles. And the individual name "Manazuru. This is wonderful. The name alone is wonderful, but the sake is also very authentic. It has a mellow mouthfeel and a delicious fall flavor. It is even better when heated. It has more sweetness and more umami. It is a perfect match for autumnal delicacies. It also has the crispness typical of Miyamanishiki. By the way, cranes are the king, Hakutsuru, Kamotsuru, Kagatsuru, and many others come to mind, but turtles are Kamerei, Kameizumi, Kame-no-umi, and others.

Hi WOM 🐦. I thought there might be a lot of turtles, but when you put it that way, cranes come out more 😆. Turtle, turtle... new turtle and first turtle!

Good evening, WOM 😃. Yes! It seems that Japan is the only country that keeps insects! And you're right 🤔I can't think of any sake 🍶 with a turtle attached to it... except for Pon-chan's addition 🧐.
Japanese>English
WOM
Thanks Pon, 😊Chappie told me that there are 122 cases of cranes and more than 10 cases of turtles. Is the reason for this difference because of their position in the story, e.g., crane's position in the story, turtle in Urashima Taro, etc.? The swamp seems to be getting deeper. There were both river cranes and river turtles.
Japanese>English
WOM
Thanks, Jay & Nobby! Ace Senkou in Tochigi is also a crane. In the cranes vs. tortoises, are cranes the best in number? There are also Hakutsuru and Sawanotsuru, cranes in quantity? There are many ways to enjoy sake, including insects, and I feel like I've found another swamp. Oh, there is the legendary Kamikame.

A gift from my son in Nagoya. Junmai-shu made with only 77% polished Yume-Ginko, Aichi's sake rice. This is a collaboration project between farmer KT, three breweries in Aichi, Maruishi in Okazaki, Gigi in Owari, and Shikishima in Chita. It is interesting to know about Aichi. Like Nitoshi, the aroma is fruity despite being junmai, and the sweetness is strongly felt and tastes good, but depending on the accompaniment, the bitterness may appear. It is refreshing and delicious. It was a wonderful sake.

Business Trip & 0th Meeting] A little time before the get-together on a business trip to Tsukuba. It was coffee before I got into the swamp. I had been curious about this sake bar for a while. They have a variety of Ibaraki's local sake. The popular Yui and Urasato are out of stock, and Ibaraki is known for its Akari Ogawa yeast, but I was drawn to this one because of its name. It was gorgeous as a daiginjo, with a punch and a bitter finish. An adult sake. It is said to be the same as the gold medal winner. I feel like a drunkard. Yamadanishiki from Ibaraki, Toji Kazuhiro Yanai.

I had a hard time finding Kanji Takachiyo, but I bumped into it at the Ponshukan in Niigata Station last fall. It was last fall. It was drunk in the summer. According to the memo. The aroma is mild and light, not like Hiragana Takachiyo. It is a food sake, with the umami of rice.

This sake was born from a SAKE Kurafan. The rice, yeast, and production method are decided by fan votes, and the rice is Gingin, the yeast is Giovanni, and I had never heard of the sanki amazake moto method. In any case, Nanbu Touji's Ono-san's sake is delicious, so I bought it. The aroma is gorgeous and apple-like. When you put it in your mouth, you can taste the sweetness. It was a gentle and beautiful sake.

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!

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?
