It has both a pleasant aroma and a firm flavor. As the days passed, it became softer and sweeter and even easier to drink (^.^)As expected of a brewery that brews Hanamup, it is delicious!

I visited Kinoshita Meishu-shuji in Senri-Chuo, forgetting that it had moved to Minami-Senri... I made a mistake. So I had no choice but to buy a bottle of this sake at Senri Hankyu Department Store.
It's a light and dry sake with a nice sharp taste, so it can be served with any food.
They used to brew sake, but now they specialize in soy sauce, miso, and other seasonings.

A special junmai sake brewed with Omachi rice.
It is a bit rough as it is called "Arabashiri", but the aroma of koji (malted rice malt) and the flavor of rice are perfect ^_^.
Very tasty...
It is a 4-ounce bottle, so I finished it quickly, but I would like to buy it again.

Nara sake is a popular brand such as "Mimuro Sugi" and "Kaze no Mori".
In the past, I drank many of them. I was interested in the Junginshu from Gojo Sake Brewery, which has appeared in many gourmet magazines.
This item has a gorgeous aroma and is easy to drink as a food sake, but on the other hand, I felt as if the alcohol had been watered down and was not enough.

About 10 years ago, a bottle of jungin was usually available for up to 3000 yen.
But now it costs no less than 3,500 yen. With the rising price of sake rice, drinkers are wondering what is in their wallets...right?
This time I enjoyed Ibaraki sake for the first time in a while. It has a light flavor and elegant aroma for a Yamada-Nishiki sake. I enjoyed it as an in-dinner drink with any accompaniment.

This is the first Choyo Fukumusume that I have encountered and drank. Immediately after opening the bottle, there is a feeling of gas and a peachy aroma and taste.
It has a peachy aroma and taste. I would like to drink different items if I have a chance to encounter them again.

This sake is a table size (500 ml) mini bottle.
I removed the label before taking a picture of the bottle and this is what it looks like. I used to file them, but I became more and more lazy and just accumulated them in a box📦 and a scrap box📦.
Aside from that, this time I didn't think it tasted good because I felt like I was drinking just watery mere alcohol 🥲.

It is Kagatobi, which can be found in supermarkets. It is a rough-running sake, but it has a gentler taste than I expected.
It is easy to drink and I would recommend it to my acquaintances who are not fond of sake because they say it is too sweet and sticky. I finished the day with homemade braised chicken wings in soy sauce!

It is a limited edition spring sake!
You can feel the deliciousness of rice with a refreshing light taste.
It is the kind of sake that you would like to enjoy with cherry blossom viewing.

It has a soft and gentle taste. It is easy to drink with any dishes.
This time, I prepared oysters grilled on the rocks by myself.
Sometimes I make snacks by referring to simple recipes on Cookpad!
Cooking is good for preventing blurriness because you have to keep thinking about the next step! (laugh)

I happened to come across this cup of sake at the Hankyu Takatsuki store. It had a gorgeous aroma and was refreshingly dry 😋 The design is different, but I wonder if the contents are the same?
Either way, spring has arrived: ❗️
It will come in handy for Hanami🌸 and outdoor activities ^_^Cup sake‼️

It is said to be a standard sake at the center of the Kuchiman series. It has a gorgeous aroma and a gentle or plump sweetness. I tasted the latter half of the sake by heating it up. The spiciness is followed by a sweetness that comes after it.

Hello 😃
Fukushima Prefecture Sake, you were the 2nd place in the number of award-winning breweries in the National New Sake Competition! It's my favorite sake quality and I look forward to working with you in the future 😀.

It was a delicious honjozo type sake! It was a delicious sake of the honjozo type.
There is about an inch of ori at the bottom of the bottle, which gives it a juicy, sweet taste, followed by a spicy taste.
It seems that it can be served with any snacks, but it was especially good with cabbage rolls. ‼️ You have to restrain yourself or the sake will go down the drain.
The price was also reasonable at 2420 yen for 1.8L ^_^.

The brewery is located in Saijo, Ehime.
Ehime's sake has a mild, full-bodied quality, but this was a delicious sake with a sharp acidity followed by a sweetness.
(It reminded me of Kyo Hina's "Ittouka"... 😋.

When I opened the bottle, it had a fruity or whiskey-like aroma, an amber color, and a delicious rice flavor.
Takagaki Shuzo has a brand called "Ryujinmaru" which is sold exclusively by their distributors, but I haven't had a chance to meet it due to bad timing. In addition to this junmai sake, three other items including a ginjo sake are sold at the Hanshin Department Store in Umeda. I have not been able to find it because of bad timing.

Although the rice polishing ratio is 78%, it is very clean and limpid.
It gave the impression of a starmine bursting open at a fireworks display, and its fresh and delicious flavor spread across the palate ^_^.

I hope you all have started your drinking habits in good health.
We look forward to working with you again this year.
The first sake we opened in the new year was this one from Himi, Toyama, which is famous for its cold yellowtail catches. The sake has a good balance of rice flavor and acidity and is easy to drink.
I would like to pair it with Himi's cold yellowtail once again.

Jay & Nobby, thank you for your help this year 🙇.
I went to Himi about 15 years ago for a refresher vacation.
I'll never forget the delicious cold yellowtail I had at a restaurant there ❗️ which was so different from the supermarket ones!
I want to go back ❣️

This year, I chose the popular Koei-Kiku brand as my "toke". I found it at Kadoya Sake Shop in Ibaraki, Osaka, where I sometimes visit, and brought it home.
It has a citrus 🍊 aroma, a grape-like sweetness, and a slightly astringent but clean finish.
It's always delicious!
I paired it with Matsuura pickles, a specialty of Saga, and we were able to taste them without disturbing each other's individuality ^_^.
The year is almost over. The flu is going around, but please take care of yourselves so that you can enjoy sake with a smile ☺️

Hi Shota 😃
We had some here a while ago too! It's as good as you say 😋 We stopped by Matsuura at a roadside station on our trip to Kyushu the year before last, but we didn't know about Matsuura pickles 😅.
Have a happy new year 🤗

Thank you for your comment, Jay & Nobby 😀 Matsuura zuke is whale cartilage that is chopped and exposed to water to remove the fat,
It is made by chopping whale cartilage, removing the fat by exposing it to water and marinating it in sweet sake lees. It's a great snack, of course, but it's also great to eat it with hot rice. If you have a chance, please visit ❗️
