I got a bottle of Yamahai, my favorite rice wine, and paired it with mustard lotus root, the spoils of my business trip. I have not had so many kinds of sake, but this Tasake Yamahai is the one that sticks out the most in my mind. Not only is the aroma wonderful, but the multiple layers of flavors are quite different. It has a complexity that is not found in regular special junmai Tasake. First of all, there is the rich sweetness and slight bitterness of rice, which is unique to Tenshu, and then, with Yamahai, the depth of the complex multi-layered flavor expands three-dimensionally, and the complex flavor changes after each sip is unbearable. The spicy lotus root is delicious because of its strong karashi flavor, but I thought it might be a waste because it kills the aroma. No, but it is delicious.

I bought it as a gift, but forgot to bring it with me on the day, so I had no choice but to drink it. It's extremely tasty. I wonder if this is what they mean when they say that water goes well with it. However, there was a slight mistake. I bought a Nosaku kataguchi to be somewhat stylish, but it was a no-no for me. The metal ions in the tin were supposed to increase the mellowness of the sake, but the bitter taste came out, the aroma was taken away, and the taste changed. I guess it depends on the sake, but I'm sorry 😢.

Good evening, moby. I also do not like tin cups. It changes the taste. Tin seems to soften the spiciness. If you use it for sake that is too dry to drink, it will make it easier to drink.

I went to Kumamoto on a business trip. I went to Kumamoto on a business trip. It's a shochu kingdom, and the store I went to didn't have any sake, so I took a chance and drank a rice shochu with hot water. I paired it with horse sashimi and spicy lotus root, which was definitely more shochu than sake. The soy sauce is Kyushu soy sauce, which has a strong sweet taste, and the dishes have a distinct flavor, so I had a feeling that the sake would be too limited in what it would go with. Anyway, I admire the wisdom of our ancestors who have optimized local production for local consumption, or rather, local combinations of food and sake.

While on a business trip to Suwa in Nagano, I paid attention to a comparison of sake breweries in the Suwa vicinity. Masumi (Suwa), Diachiku (Chino), and Takaten (Okaya). Masumi is consistently good. Diaikiku is also easy to drink. Takaten has a unique sweetness, but that's just the way it is.

I had to take a short business trip to a nearby prefecture for train reasons, and when I returned home, all the restaurants in the neighborhood had been destroyed, so I slipped into an izakaya. Miraculously, the last order was 2 minutes before. The weather was not so clear, so I thought it would be rude not to drink sake in front of the sashimi, but there was no time before closing time, In the end, I drank almost all of the beer and decided to have some Hakurakusei. The lack of refinement and modesty is at a level that would surprise even Goro Inokashira. This was my first Hakurakusei. I was excited to taste the ultimate food sake, and sure enough, it was delicious. The first thing I noticed was the fresh green apple aroma, followed by a dry, sweet and bitter (but not dry) flavor that lingers on the palate for a short while. Overall, it is very light, and because it cuts through quickly, it does not linger on the tongue. I wonder if this is the reason why it is a food sake. If I were to say that it is not impressive, I would say that it is thin, but it gently enhances the food without interfering with it. It is true that this sake by itself may not be very strong, but it seems to go well with delicate Japanese food, and I have a feeling that it will enhance the food. On the other hand, if the taste is strong or the smell is strong, the aroma and flavor will interfere with each other, which is a pity. I'm about to be kicked out, so I'm done.

I was actually going to buy the Masamune when I dropped by Hasegawa Sake Shop at Tokyo Station, but there was a Tsubame-Sanjo product exhibition next to the store, and while I was looking around, I came back to the store and found that it was sold out, so I went for the Sharaku. But, as you would expect from Sharaku, it was my first Sharaku. It was my first time to try Sharaku, and I was convinced that it is very popular. It has a fresh melon-like aroma, sweetness, and umami, and it finishes cleanly without leaving a strong taste. There is no bitterness or other unpleasant taste at all, so it has a good character, or it has no peculiarities, or it seems that not many people dislike it.

Good evening, moby😊. Sharaku is good, isn't it? As you say, it is a stable brand with no peculiarities and accepted by all 🥰. Sharaku is also a good brand, but it is not to be outdone 🐴🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰.

At Omura Bar, a long-established izakaya in Shizuoka. Founded in 1916, it has been in business for 109 years! The appearance of the bar is also very nice. The food is reasonably priced, but the local food is delicious and the atmosphere is warm even when you bring your children. And, of course, it would not be complete without a glass of Isojiman, a famous sake from Yaizu, Shizuoka. I had only had Isojyuamachi, which is Omachi, but this is Yamadanishiki. I think I prefer the Omachi. However, it is best to drink it with locally produced, locally consumed, and locally available foods. I must go back again!

I've been slacking on posting, so let's bring it all up together. First, Fudo. It is a long-established restaurant in Chiba, and it is still delicious. The flavor and sweetness of the rice is directly fragrant. I think that the slightly peculiar fermentation aroma of Fudo can be felt more directly when it is made by hanging it. It is the opposite of "tanrei," or not at all smooth!

I opened a bottle of "Sarara", a sake from Ageo, Saitama, which was given to me by a sake lover from Saitama in my office. I was so proud that I couldn't lose to Saitama, since we are in Chiba...but...nope, it's delicious. It has a light piquancy and fresh rice sweetness, as is typical of nama-zake, and then the bitterness fades away at the end, leaving behind the rich sweetness and umami of the rice. A modern sake. I am amazed. I have to think of an answer from the Chiba side.... I am afraid of Saitama....

Good evening, moby😃. Congratulations on your first Saitama sake at Sairai ㊗️ 🎉It is a representative sake of Saitama ‼️ But there are a lot of good ones in Chiba too 😙 We have lived in both cities, but we might prefer Chiba 🤗.

@Jay & Nobby Good evening. Thank you for everything. It's a typical sake from Saitama...I was too much of a newbie to know that and it was my first time drinking it💦. Chiba's sake is quite good, isn't it? 😀

While the children were away, my wife and I made a hasty decision to go out for a short visit to Narita-san. I am not sure if we visited Mt. Narita on the way to the shrine or on the way to Mt. Narita...but at any rate, the 800-meter-long approach to the shrine is lined with stores of various sizes, making our hearts dance. First, the smoke lured us in, and we toasted with 🍺 while smacking our lips over the local specialty, eel-jyu (eel stew). It might have been a nuisance for Fudo-san to see us after such a long day, but I am sure it must have brought him some good luck. On the way home, I bought a modest bottle of sake No. 2 as a souvenir from Chomeisen, Narita's only sake brewery. It was a rather classical ginjo, easy to drink without any peculiarities, but in other words, it was not memorable. I was a bit reluctant to buy a bottle of the summer-only nama-shu, but I had a reason to go back to Narita...so I'll take it as a good thing. Sowaka.

Irorian (蕎麦と酒 いろり庵)

In a great summer vacation adventure, two elementary school siblings took the Shinkansen bullet train to their cousin's house for a sleepover. We were able to pick them up safely at Ueno Station, so we decided to take the kids directly to Irorian, located at the Shinkansen exit of the station. It is a station soba restaurant directly operated by JR East, and I recently noticed that they have a surprisingly good selection of Japanese sake. I ordered a glass of "Mimuro Sugi" with grated buckwheat noodles and a story of the children's adventures as a summery side dish. I was told that it was refreshing and easy to drink, and gave the impression of being like a Ramune, and indeed it was. The acidity is not noticeable and quite easy to drink. My personal impression is that it is a bit like brewer's kuheiji (the bitter atmosphere that remains at the end is less in Mimuro-sugi). Sake and soba go well together. It was a dangerous summer evening when I found a pattern that I might fall in love with on my way back from a business trip to Tohoku or Hokuriku.

For some reason, Fudo was sold at a stall at a local festival, so I had a glass of it. As one would expect from Chiba. The line of people waiting for their turn at the target shooting with their children while drinking a glass of Fudo is also Fudo, which means that there are a lot of children in the line. I hope Japan will continue to be like that.

Since it was Father's Day, my wife and kids got the "Isoboast" from Yaizu that I had been appealing to drink. Thank you, thank you 😭 The aroma is elegant and the rice flavor is delicious, while the sweetness is crisp and sharp. This is a delicious sake that goes well with sashimi, as it boasts "Iso". I will enjoy this sake for a while.

I bought it at Matsuzaki Sake Shop in Kawagoe when I was in the area for work. It was a good thing that I always keep a cool bag in my car. It is easy to find, light, and easy to drink. The alcohol content is a little low at 13 degrees, which is also a reason why it goes down so smoothly. This is certainly a modern drink.

It's a bad idea! But the temperature was a bit blah and slippery, so I wanted something refreshing to drink, so I went with a glass of AKABU with soda. I think just a little bit of carbonation is enough. The dryness of the carbonation adds a great refreshing sensation, and while it can be enjoyed quickly, it is a little dangerous if you drink it like a beer. It is also good as a food drink.

I went to Nippure Shoten in Matsudo in search of summer sake. While I was torn between Koshizo and Koshiizo, I bought Koshi Summer Fragrance because of its cool appearance and its cute logo. The sound of "Kinoene" is also cool. When I opened the bottle, I heard the sound of gas. The aroma of fresh rice is refreshing. The refreshing aroma is not too assertive, but it is pleasantly crisp. The sweetness, sourness, and umami come at the same time as the slightly sparkling carbonation, and the bitterness comes at the end. The aftertaste is very sharp. It is the kind of sake that will make you feel refreshed after a hot and humid early summer night. Delicious. The aroma of summer is a strange thing to say! I was somewhat embarrassed to use the word "fruity" to describe the taste of sake, so I took the liberty of not saying "fruity," but it was quite difficult to do so. I would like to increase my vocabulary and experience.

Hi moby, nice to meet you. I'm glad you found a good summer sake. I understand your confusion about the word "fruity"! I am not good at comparing it to fruits either. I can understand if it is a grapefruit, but.... But I don't have a good way to describe it.

Hi moby 😃 My parents live in Chiba and my daughter lives in Minami Kashiwa, so I had a pin 💡 and a reaction to the liquor store in Matsudo 😊 and moby and knobby are very similar 😆. I don't know what it is either...fruity...repeatedly!

While strolling around Solamachi in Skytree to buy a Mother's Day present with my children, I spotted Hasegawa Sake Shop and bought a bottle of akabu, despite being chided by my children that today was not your Mother's Day. Of course, I didn't open the bottle until after Mother's Day, but the sweet rice flavor spread gently with a pleasant taste. I thought it would be more crisp than the name implied, but it is delicious in its own way.

This is a series of sake tasting sessions to compare the same conditions other than the rice used for the sake. The rice for April is Hoshiakari. It is sharp and dry. It is crisp and refreshing, which is good for this season, which is gradually becoming hotter and hotter. The aroma that spreads to the nose when you take a sip is nice, but it seems to quickly fade away and the umami of the rice remains impressive. It tastes somewhat clean and cool. I've been trying fruity, sweet, easy-drinking ones lately, so this is one of them.

I happened to see a local liquor store on my way out of town, and I stopped by and found a bottle of ocean ninty nine by Kangiku Meikozo, which I had been wanting to try. It was a hot day, and I was tickled by the clerk's words, "It is recommended on such a day," so I bought it without hesitation. When I opened the bottle, I heard a fizzing sound, and the taste was fruity and refreshing, which certainly explains why it was named "Sorouumi. It is perfect for the coming season. This is a perfect match for the coming season.

Purchased at Ricer Jack Haradaya in Ichikawa Station. Although I live in Chiba, I had never heard of Chiba sake, so here it is. We had it with bamboo shoots, a spring gift from our neighbor, as a side dish. The aroma was fresh, and the rice flavor came first with a nice crispness! The aroma is refreshing and the rice flavor comes first with a crispness, and then the complex fermentation flavor spreads later as the aroma passes through the nose. I am a sake beginner🔰 with little experience, so I don't have the same vocabulary as you, and I can't describe it well, but it has a deeper taste than the fruity ones. I like this one too.
