Nagano souvenir, I'll take it. The sweetness comes first. Then it disappears and it is slightly bitter. It is delicious. Sake rice is Hitogokochi. Shinshu sake is really delicious.

It's completely winter. One year has already passed since that day.
I will never forget Noto's sake. We must continue to support Noto!
So, here is a sake brewed by Kaze no Mori and Aburacho Shuzo using an original recipe from Shirakiku in Okunoto. Hard water from Nara is filtered to match Noto's soft water, and Kanazawa yeast is used.
I think Shirakiku brewery expresses the flavor of rice well.
It is a gem that shows the high level of quality.

Business trip to Tokyo. Wandered into this restaurant. He is very particular about his food. I met Mr. Sensuke, whom I have not seen in a while. The sake is super dry with a sake strength of 10, but it is sweet and fruity with a dry finish. Delicious.

Jay & Nobby. Thank you very much. I was so happy to see you, Sensuke-san, because I was hoping to see you, but while I am in Tokyo, please, God, don't shake Noto again.

Speaking of Mangoku-no-shiro, this is the one. My favorite one. Fruity aroma. Sweet, with a little acidity and slight bubbles. Very tasty.

Forgetting to post, a meeting to taste a certain Hyakumangoku No Shiro.
The Nakashima Brewery in Wajima was damaged by the Noto Peninsula earthquake. The brewery borrowed facilities from Azuma Shuzo in Komatsu. Nakashima brews for softness and Azuma brews for crispness. The best of both worlds.

Watari-san offers a wide selection of delicious local sake from Ishikawa. I saw this one and ordered it without a second thought. I thought it might not be possible this year, but I came across it. 90% low-polished but with a clear minerality that is typical of Mr. Yoshida, who is an expert in using the sake rice Ishikawa-mon. The young brewers of this series create the concepts and design the labels.
It is tasty and has a slightly effervescent taste.

I was able to drink again this year. We entertained guests from outside of the prefecture. I was going to introduce Hokuriku sake, but this was on the menu. We ordered it without a second thought. Everyone agreed that this was a bad idea. From the stable schwarziness to the clear sweetness, it was delicious, delicious, delicious.

I have an accumulation of unposted items, but I can't leave this one out. A gathering with my life mentor. At the time, I was a complete alcoholic, not just sake, but no alcohol at all. But my mentor loves sake. He said he drank many kinds of sake, but this one was his favorite.
I drank it cold, and although it is a daiginjo, the aroma is mild. It has a strong umami of rice, but it cuts through the flavor very smoothly. I wish I had more vocabulary, but I guess good food is good food. The technique of Takanobu Sato, a master craftsman of our time. The rice is Yamada Nishiki.

Next is the main stream of light, dry sake. Hakkaisan. I was convinced of the high level of Echigo sake.

A mysterious restaurant in Echigo. At the first party, we were completely full after thick fried bean curd, pork cutlet, Koshihikari rice balls and beer.
The second party was to enjoy local sake. Have you ever had much sake? It might be my first time, so I followed Yuten and went to Katafune.

On a business trip to Niigata. Lack of preparation and without any preliminary research, I went to this place with 25 kinds of local sake as a signboard. The old style was nice. The first one was a DHC's sake, which is well-known as a supplement.
It is fruity, sweet, and sharp.
By the way, there were many local sake stores in Niigata.

Mountain sake, 19 degrees with a gusto, can be enjoyed from the top clear to hazy and nigorigo. The top clear layer is sweet, but don't be fooled by the sweetness of the top clear layer. It is bitter. The haze is creamy, yet refreshingly spicy. The nigori has the perfect texture of rice grains. It has a strong punch.

Autumn harvest after one year of storage. It is light and mellow. It is delicious with snacks. It is like fine white rice. It is delicious.
The next day, when I drank it by itself, I could feel the acidity, and it was elegant and easy to drink.

Thank you, Pon-chan! I wondered if the catch was good this year, but live crabs were cheap at the supermarket, so I boiled them at home. It was perfect for Mr. Kuroryu.

The Nanbu clan had a gold mine, and this is a favorite of the store's handsome owner, who aged it in the tunnels of the mine.
It has a lot of flavor. It is a little bitter. The organizer chose an izakaya for us, and the all-you-can-drink local sake was amazing. Hats off to Nanbu Touji no Sato. This is also a pairing of Gin-Otome and Yuuko.

The night in Iwate is short. Today's drinking party
is a policy of drinking happily.
Now, Hyakuban, red. The sake rice is Ginotome and the yeast is Yuko no Sou. It is a perfect match for Iwate.
The light aroma is perfect for the mid-palate.

While we are on the subject of drinking Iwate sake, here is the next one. Saiya Sake Brewery's Yurihonjo was also hit hard by flooding this year. We decided to drink this sake as a show of support.
As expected, the sake was consistently delicious. The sake is complex and rich, but finishes with a refreshing finish.
How about all-you-can-drink?

Back to Iwate sake, the fourth bottle. The first person I met was a big sake lover. He was very enthusiastic about mastering the store's Iwate sake. It had a nice umami flavor. Maybe heated sake would be good too. The limit is near.
