I finally opened a bottle of Akatombo, which I purchased a month ago. It has a moderate acidity, a clean mouthfeel, and a cute label.

This bottle was given to me by my daughter as a souvenir from Toyama around the time of the Bon Festival. It is easy to drink and has a modest flavor. He is a nice guy.

I bought it at a roadside station where I stopped on a drive to the sea in August. We had it with Heshiko, which we also got. It was delicious, with a sweet, robust flavor but with a nice aftertaste.

This sparkling wine has a strong white wine taste. However, the sweetness of the nigori flavor is well combined with the taste of the sparkling wine, and it is delicious.

The tingling sensation caused by moderate acidity is wrapped in a sense of calmness, making it very easy to drink.

The gasiness and acidity make it the perfect summer sake. If I see it again next year, I will buy it!

Purchased in Yoshino, Nara at the end of May. Yoshino is famous for its cherry blossoms, but I like the fresh green of early summer. Yoshino Brewery is more often heard of for Hanaboe, but a liquor store near Zaodo had this brand. The color of the sake was quite yellowish, so I thought it might have a strong sake taste, but it was a refreshing and easy to drink sake.

I like the schwash, but would prefer a micro-foam? But this sparkling wine was quite good. It is good for both Japanese and Western food.

Hirotogawa is the first nigori sake I have had since New Year's. Although the taste is different, it is delicious!

I haven't had it in a while. It really doesn't spoil the taste of the food and resets the mouth.

I drank it in January but haven't been able to post it, fear of slacking off! Anyway, it was delicious, I would definitely get this sake again next season.

Purchased on a trip to Shizuoka last year. I thought I'd like to drink it hot in winter, but the label said it was recommended to drink it cold! I was surprised. The brewery is very particular. I had it cold and lukewarm. It tasted like a ginjo-shu.

Influenced by Sake-no-Wawa's post, I really wanted to try it and bought sake by mail order for the first time. I'm having a nice New Year's Eve, thanks!

The clear, dry base with good umami and acidity, and the freshness of the wine brings it all together. It goes well with sashimi.

Which sake to buy in the places you visit? This time, in Shizuoka...I decided on Kaiun. And after drinking it, my choice was right! Mellow, refreshing, with just the right amount of umami! Right in the middle of my favorites.

It has a sake-like alcohol taste, but it has a nice sharpness that makes it a good mid-meal sake. By the way, I'm on a trip to Izu right now, looking forward to buying some Shizuoka sake on the way home!
