Aroma like white grapes, sweet and delicious.
The first glass of the comparison is my favorite Kaze no Mori.
Pair it with a sesame flavor.

It's October and it was hot, over 30℃💦.
I had to hold off on drinking for a while because of exams, so I opened a bottle for the first time in a while.
I was afraid to spurt it out so I had it opened and poured it into a glass. The bubbles are from the secondary fermentation of sake and the color is slightly cloudy.
The aroma is slightly sweet from the rice and pear-like acidity.
A slight carbonation spreads in the mouth, like champagne but with the umami of rice, delicious 🥂.
It went well with dice steak and potato tempura☺️.

I received this from my hometown.
It contains carbonation so make sure it's well chilled and open the bottle 😊I'm a scaredy-cat so I'll have it opened💦.
Sake made with water and barrels from Hakushu.
Tosu nigori bubbles 🥂 when poured into a glass.
First impression is fresh and invigorating aroma, taste is banana-like and fruity, with a sweet aroma coming from the barrels 💕 delicious!

When I went to buy Ishizuchi Doyoshu, only one bottle was available, so I bought this one.
This special junmai sake is made from a rare rice called "Shizuku Ehime," an original variety of Ehime Prefecture.
It has a melon-like aroma, refreshing acidity and umami flavor.
As the label says it goes great with summer vegetables, I enjoyed it with boiled corn, tomatoes, and sauteed chicken.
Rice used: 100% Ehime-grown Shizukuhime

My first Niimasa.
After my tennis lesson in the morning, I stopped by the liquor store for other brands and found Niimasa on the shelf 😆.
They had Flaxcat, Ecru, Viridian, and Cosmos, and after worrying for a while, I bought this one.
Delicious 💕Elegant acidity, slightly carbonated bubbles and a clean sharp aftertaste.
Thanks for the chance encounter 🙇♀️.

Miyazaki's eel and Miyazaki's local sake.
At first, the taste and aroma are typical of sake, but the sweetness increases in the middle, making it refreshing and easy to drink.
The color of the sake has its original color, probably because it is unfiltered.
The eel is plump and the skin is crispy and aromatic.

Here is the second drink. Again, I didn't get a picture of the bottle. Paired with sushi. The conger eel is fluffy and delicious.
The elegant aroma and mild flavor of junmai go well with sushi.
It is very smooth on the palate and never gets boring.

A dry sake with a sharp and crisp aftertaste, while retaining the umami of rice that is typical of junmai sake.
Pair it with seared nodoguro (sea bream), steamed nodoguro (sea bream), grilled eel, or sashimi of sea bream or chutoro (medium fatty tuna). The food was too delicious.

My back and legs were tired from playing tennis in the morning and a match in the afternoon on a hot and humid day over 30 degrees Celsius... I'm glad my feet didn't cramp.
I wanted to try something I saw in a post by Sake-no-wa.
There were also "Tsubamezuka" and "Moeki", but I bought this one. Ruri Karakusa" is the Japanese name for a pretty flower called Nemophila, and "Ruri" is also the color used in costumes since the Heian period (794-1192).
It is very easy to drink and tastes great after a long day. It also goes well with meals. I am glad I had it today.

Today is Father's Day, my husband likes beer so I got him a beer and my daughter a grape rumune. Thank you for everything 🙇♀️.
Light and easy to drink, this umami sake is different from fruity summer sake. After the umami taste, you can feel the summer sake character.
Maybe a bit of a bad type for the first sip? But it is delicious when paired with food due to its robust umami.
Sake is hard to consume when you drink it alone, and the leftovers accumulate in the fridge💦.
We paired it with a bowl of tuna rice topped with fried cheese.

This sake is made by Nishi Shuzo, famous for its potato shochu "Tominohozan".
They have only 300ml of Junmai.
This refined sake has a banana aroma, gentle sweetness, and modest acidity.
It has a strong full-bodied flavor and would go well with today's dinner of chicken and macaroni au gratin!
The beer and shochu that I got at last month's sake-contested women's singles tennis tournament are finally gone, and I'm back to coloring the sake map.

Buy summer sake.
A junmai sake sold only in summer with a refreshing aroma and taste. Sake with a refreshing acidity like muscat, clean and clear.
Serve with a bowl of rice topped with tuna.

The name "Gobashi" is derived from "Kintai-bashi," a series of five warped bridges over the Nishiki River, and was named in the hope that the bridge would be a bridge between hearts and minds, wishing for the elegance of the Kintai-bashi Bridge.
GW went to Kakushima Island.
The juicy aroma of the wine was ahead of my taste buds. It has a fruity aroma like strawberry, and its acidity and bitterness are well balanced. It goes well with sashimi and sushi.
