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.

Happy New Year, Shota 🌅New Year's greetings to you too 🙇🏻🙇🏻♀️
A quick drink with Himi's cold yellowtail would be delicious 🥹😋!

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 ❗️

It is a sake brewery located in the Noto region of Ishikawa Prefecture, different from the Shimane Prefecture brand "Honorable Ikegetsu".

There are about 180 different brands of sake called "Masamune. The meaning of "Masamune" seems to be "Meitou," which translates to "sharp and sharp. It certainly has a sharp sharpness in its spiciness. This brewery is also known as the birthplace of Ichi-go yeast.

The label on the back of the bottle explains how the Yusa family, once samurai, became brewers after losing a battle.
It is a daiginjo with an elegant aroma and a light but delicious flavor.
It was reasonably priced and could be enjoyed as an in-between-dinner drink.

First of all, let us all rejoice that sake has been recognized as a UNESCO World Intangible Cultural Heritage! I hope this will be a good opportunity to make more sake friends.
Shinkame Shuzo is a long-established brewery that has consistently focused on making pure rice sake. The name and label design are trendy these days, and the sake quality is not to everyone's taste, but I think it is an excellent sake worth drinking. As expected, this sake is recommended for warming up, but you can enjoy its rich flavor and the delicious taste of rice.
The color is amber, which is perfect for those who like heated sake!

It was brought to the Hokkaido Fair at Takatsuki Hankyu by chance. It had a crisp and clear taste, but (I can't describe it well) it might be a little difficult to drink.

It is labeled as a "very dry" sake of +10 degrees blended with three types of junmai sake, but it had a soft mouthfeel and a soft umami taste ^_^.
Immediately after opening the bottle, I enjoyed it cold, but then I thought, "What if I warm it up to enhance the umami?" I tried it warmed up and it was delicious with more sweetness and sharpness.
The price of sake has gone up, but you can find a lot of beautiful sake for less than 2,000 yen for a bottle!

The first time the bottle is opened, it has a refreshing aroma and a clean, crisp taste. It is a gem with a juicy flavor in the midst of its freshness.

This year is no longer a frosty month, and the Christmas🎄 lights in the city are soothing to the soul...
I recommend that those of you who will retire next spring, or are close to retiring, to reconfirm your future plans.
There are cases where you may be entitled to an additional pension, so I thought it would be a good idea to check your pension letter ^_^.
This Shigemasu has a low alcohol content of 11 degrees. It has a light wine-like taste, but it also has a strong acidity and is delicious ^_^I finished it while I was thinking about heating it up😄.

Good evening😄Sorry for the late reply🙇I saw this sake in a store and bought the label, I guess you could say. I was impressed by its low alcohol content but strong taste. I would like to drink it again if I have a chance 😋.

It's finally autumn. The nabe season has finally arrived! It is the season of nabe (hot pot). Hiyayogoshi is very tasty at this time of year ^_^.
This is a junmai hiyaoroshi from Naraman.
The pear-like fruity aroma and the soft taste were the driving force behind the food.

Climate change seems to be having a great impact on sake rice as well, and it was reported that one brewery was unable to produce some brands. On the other hand, a new variety of sake rice called "Moeibuki" was announced in Hiroshima Prefecture to cope with global warming.
I wondered what kind of sake would be brewed and what more could be done to help prevent global warming.
It has been a long time since I have tasted Koei Kiku. It was a light, refreshing sake with a fruity aroma like lychee. It can be enjoyed on its own.

Many people are advised by their doctors or family members to quit drinking as they age. However, I think that cutting out the drinking lifestyle that we have enjoyed for so many years without any particular reason may be a breeding ground for stress and may be detrimental to our health.
I am afraid that giving up alcohol without any particular reason may become a breeding ground for stress and damage one's health. We should live the rest of our lives enjoying alcohol in moderation.
This time, I got a limited edition sake from Hankyu Takatsuki. The sake rice is called "Gin-no-sato" and is cultivated without using herbicides.
It was a clear, sweet sake with good acidity and a nice sharp taste.

Today on TV 📺 there was a report on the Sake Shinkansen 🚄. The plan was to enjoy 14 items of Niigata's Daiginjo-class Sake and a box lunch using Niigata's ingredients during the 2 hours and 30 minutes journey from Tokyo to Shin-Osaka. I was impressed by the expressions on everyone's faces.
This time we got Sagaminada from Kanagawa Prefecture.
It is a delicious Daigin-standard sake made from Miyamanishiki polished to 50%. It has a rich ginjo aroma and a refreshing taste. Very tasty 😋.

This is the first appearance of this brand at Takatsuki Hankyu, and it is one of the rare brands in the Kansai region.

This is a summer sake that creates a refreshing atmosphere; I have not had this brand for almost 30 years, so it has been a long time since I have had it.
It is said to be brewed with Hiroshima yeast. After opening the bottle, the fresh aroma spreads out and the light taste is mellow with a good sharpness. The alcohol content is only 14 degrees, so it is easy to drink.
