Hououmida's limited edition sake!
It's delicious, but it's not as good as I expected considering the cost performance!
I was wondering if I should have bought the Takachiyo or the Houou Mita...?

This sake was marketed as a special edition by a liquor store, with the intention of helping Ishikawa Prefecture recover from the earthquake disaster. Tengu Mai is a sake that I usually don't touch because I have the impression that it is too heavy. This one is a Yamahai sake, which means it is a darker version than the low-alcohol versions that are popular these days.
When I tried it, it was easier to drink than I had imagined. It does have the robust backbone and alcohol content of Yamahai, but it is quite tasty in its own way. The sweetness is also somewhat present, but the acidity is kept in check, and the melon and banana flavors are mixed with the gusto of the alcohol and the richness of the Yamahai.
The liquor store's recommendation is to drink it on the rocks. It is true that it is easier to drink with ice and a little water. This kind of strong sake is not likely to be defeated by strong-flavored dishes such as Chinese food or curry.

I recognize it as the orikara portion of sake for the sake competition. The specs are quite impressive: Banshu Yamadanishiki is used, Fukuro-hari is used, and the rice is cut down to 35% for daiginjo. It seems to be a very limited edition.
It is quite rich because it is an orikarami. It was a bit hard when just opened, but after a few days, its mild, fruity sweetness became more pronounced. Is it the sweetness of melon or banana without any tune? The weak acidity seems to be a sign of a good taste.
Somehow, this sake makes me want to pair it with mellow and rich foods such as cream cheese. It is incredibly good.

It is a slightly sparkling "orikarami" with the specifications of Chiebijin Junmai-shu, which won the "President's Award" at the "KURA MASTER" held in Paris, France. The reason for the rabbit is that it is a sake made by a rabbit lover. The label is also stylish.
It is a slightly tangy, cloudy, thick sake. It is mildly sweet with a hint of apricot. It is fruity, but the acidity is not that strong and quite delicious.
Camembert goes quite well with it. I think it goes well with meat as well. This is quite tasty.

It's May and I'm groggy after an unusually hot weekend...,
At times like this, we open a bottle of our favorite summer sake!
Daimine 3 grains Summer no tidings
I usually don't see this sake at my favorite liquor store because they are always sold out, but when I stopped by a liquor store on business, I found a lot of sake on the shelves, so I took some home!
The snow woman that is sold at Omine in the winter is also delicious, but the summer otsukiri is also delicious!
It had a refreshing grapefruit-like sweetness with a bitter aftertaste that blew away the heat!
Since it was the weekend, I opened two bottles of Omine that I had stocked in the momentum, too, in another check-in,

It's been a long time since I bought it, but tonight I opened a bottle of Tsuchida's oddball.
Wow, it's unique. A very dark, bright yellow sake.
Half-wits like myself can't take it head-on! So, referring to Tsuchida's installations, I tried a sake cocktail or a sake sour this time.
The first drink was a sake tonic made with Tsuchida and tonic water! The strong sweet and sour taste of Tsuchida combined with the bitterness of the tonic made me gulp it down!
The second drink was a sake lemon sour with Tsuchida, lemon soda water, and Pokka lemon! Again, the sweetness of the Tsuchida was combined with the refreshing acidity of the lemon, and it went well with the nabe (hot pot) we had for dinner!
This is a great way to drink sake! Highly recommended!

Rich but also refreshing and muscat-like. It is a bit heavy. A little heavy. It would be especially good for a second drink.

It is a draft sake from brewer Kuheiji, and the label also warns that it should be drunk as soon as possible and stored at 5 degrees Celsius or lower. That is how particular they are about quality, and they only ship sake that has been reserved.
I believe this is a characteristic of light nigori sake, but it is very tasty with a rich mouthfeel, acidity, and sweetness. It can be considered somewhat fruity, but for me, yogurt-like sourness and banana-like sweetness is the best way to describe it. It also has a slight melon-like taste in the throat.
I can only drink this drink once a year. I think it would also go well with rich cheese and okaki.

Following the Houou Mita, a Junmai Daiginjo from Romain was opened.
It's not easy to buy this one because it's over 3,000 yen, but I bought it on the spur of the moment and enjoyed it!
This Junmai Daiginjo mainly uses Fukunoka!
The other day, I also got a Collage, which is also made with Fukunoka, so I want to compare it with the other two.
The first one, Romain, has a beautiful sweetness on the palate and a full-bodied umami flavor.
It was a relaxing evening drinking, watching my daughter rolling around behind the Romain!

Here's a bottle to reward yourself for all your hard work this week!
Hououmida Daichi Junmai Ginjyo Unfiltered Nama-Ginjo
This Junmai Ginjo-shu is brewed with Omachi sake produced in the Akaban area of Okayama Prefecture, which has a long history and tradition!
It is said that it was named after Omachi grown in this special "Daichi" area, and the taste was robust and flavorful, as befitting its name!
I had an image of Omachi as a sweet sake, but it was more sour and umami than sweet, which was also delicious!
Rice polishing ratio: 55
Alcohol: 16% to 17%.
