The first 🍶 of Sushi Matsuura we visited a while ago. The first hiyaoroshi of the season 🍁. It is the perfect sake for hiyaoroshi. The sashimi was Kue and Kagoshima Akaundan. The akaundan was so delicious😍Karatsu is famous for akaundan, but it was already gone and Kagoshima just barely had some.

The far shore of the year. Visited the grave and had a drink at my parents' house 🍶. The last one is Tasake which I brought with me. The label is not like Tasake. And I don't understand it...^^;. It is a limited edition of IMADEYA. The rice is Akita Sake Komachi. It is gorgeous and sweet. It is delicious, but a little heavy for the third bottle.

The far shore of the year. Visited the grave and had a drink at my parents' house 🍶. The second bottle is a sake from Saku that my brother got as a gift. I don't know this brand at all! The label also looks dull...^^; What is TSURUYA on the label? It is brewed in Nagano and made with 100% Nagano rice. And it's made with Yamae Nishiki, which was developed in Nagano. It's nice to stick to local. It is not very floral, but rather a little dry and refreshing. It was a good match with the snacks. I also had some tasake after this, but this one was probably the best.

Good morning, Toshihiko🌞. There is a local Nagano supermarket called Tsuruya, so it might be their PB.

I see! So it's a local supermarket? It was a sake from a brewery I didn't know at all, but it was delicious 🎵Thanks for the information.

Ohigan. Visiting the grave and having a drink at my parents' house 🍶. The poor thing that was forgotten in the fridge after being purchased at the end of last year? Ni-Hare 🐰🐰 shiboritate nama sake that was bought at the end of last year and forgotten in the fridge. LOL! I jokingly opened it and found that it still had some gas in it. Well, it doesn't matter because it's delicious.

I returned from a trip to Hokkaido and drank at home for the evening 🍶. After drinking Kaze no Mori in Hokkaido, I remembered that I had a bottle of it at home and decided to drink it immediately. More than half a year has passed since I bought it.... I wonder if I should have drunk it sooner since it is a draft sake ❓️🤔 And the sake is so delicious that it blows those worries away. It has a good balance of sweetness and sourness. The alcohol content is low and not heavy. The Akitsuho from Uda, Nara is polished to 22% and is clear with no cloying taste. A bit surprisingly good😍.

Summer vacation ☀ Last night was at the famous Sushi Oneda in Hakodate. I drank a lot of things but only took 2 pictures of the labels, so that's all I post. The second one is a rare one from Goryo. It is a sake that is produced in small quantities and not distributed to liquor stores. It was a good way to end the trip with a sake from Hokkaido, and one that is rarely drunk. I don't need to tell you how good it tasted. It has a clear sake quality with no impurities, a gorgeous ginjo aroma, and an elegant sweetness. The rice used for this sake is Ginpu.

Summer vacation ☀ Last night was at the famous Sushi Oneda in Hakodate. I drank a lot of different drinks but only took pictures of the labels of two of them, so that's all I'll post. The first one is Kaze no Mori from Nara. I like this type of sweet and sour, which is typical of Kaze no Mori ♥ I think it has more gas when opened, but this one was calm. This one is good. Sushi was 3 kinds of tuna. The tuna was over 150 kilograms and from Atsukishi. I had never heard of it, so I was surprised to hear about it, but I was told that it was an anomaly. He told me that it used to be impossible to catch tuna in Atsugishi. It had been a long time since I was in Hokkaido, but I often heard this kind of story at sushi restaurants. Not only tuna from Atsukishi, but also bonito, salmon, sea urchin, tuna from Tsugaru Strait, etc... When I visited Hokkaido 7 or 8 years ago, I heard the same story about amberjack being caught in Hokkaido. The ecosystem is changing rapidly...

Summer Vacation ☀ 8th at Otaru's famous restaurant Nigirigunraisen I drank Jishin Asahi at the 7th one but I skipped it because I drank it the day before and I have no more sushi to put on the post ‼️🤣. Back to Back to Back sake from Mie. When I told the owner that there were a lot of Mie sake, he said that he gets it from a liquor store in Mie. Why in Hokkaido? Well, Kido is in Wakayama, so it's close. I don't remember what it tasted like when I drank this much! I am sure it was delicious🤣.

Summer Vacation ☀ 4th at Otaru's famous restaurant, Nigirigunraisen. I have an image of kafuda sake as gorgeous and sweet, but this one is a bit different type from what I've had so far as it's called "light fresh". This is a good salty sake for a mid-meal drink 😃.

Summer Vacation ☀ 3rd at Otaru's famous restaurant, Nigirigunraisen. After the first two Hokkaido sakes, we went to Kido in Wakayama. It's gorgeous and very Junmai Daiginjo. Delicious 😆. The presentation of the Akinatai fish was beautiful. I had heard on the news that the price would be lower this year due to a good catch, but this one was priced at 2,000 yen per bottle 😲.

Summer Vacation ☀ 2nd at Otaru's famous restaurant, Nigirigunraisen. The restaurant is under the supervision of the Hokkaido Sushi Association's youth group, and they make it to go well with sushi. It has a unique flavor and a little bit peculiar. If you ask me if it goes well with sushi, it's not bad, but maybe not exactly right. ❓️🤔

Summer Vacation ☀ 1st one at Otaru's famous restaurant, Nigirigunraisen. The sake is named after the restaurant and made by Tanaka Sake Brewery near the restaurant 🍶 I didn't see the back label so I don't know the specs, but it's well-balanced and tasty. It's still in its infancy, but it's ridiculously good!

Summer Vacation ☀5 at Sapporo's Famous Sushi Restaurant Arima The last is Minami. My favorite way to drink is to finish with a dry sake. I have an image that Kochi's sake is hard-core, but I didn't know that Minami has such a pink character! The taste was not as dry as I expected. Delicious though 😆.

Summer Vacation ☀4 at Sapporo's Famous Sushi Restaurant Arima Next is the super major class Jikin. This is the first time I've had Asahi. Maybe the Asahi rice itself is new to me 🤔. I thought Jikin was not too sweet compared to Jyushiyo and it was easy to match with meals, but this is even more like that. It is a good sake.

Summer Vacation ☀ 3rd at Sapporo's famous Sushi Restaurant Arima The last two Hokkaido sakes were the last. As a traveler, I wish they would have more local sake. So, I went for the major national sake, Kuroryu. It is made from Gohyakumangoku, a sake produced in Fukui Prefecture. It is one of the most popular sake in the Kuroryu lineup. How can it not be good?

No, there was also Chitose-Tsuru...and that's about it. I don't have enough training! 🤣 This sake is also delicious. This is the best type of sake for a meal.

Summer Vacation☀ Sushi no Kura in Sapporo🍣 6🍶. Sawaya Matsumoto. This was the last one, but they didn't serve any Hokkaido sake until the end. I'm sure there are good sake in Hokkaido, but... ^^; Are they not dealing with tourists who want to drink local sake? 🤔 Well, they were all delicious, so this is good. ☺️
