Let's make this the last sake (since we've had many others in the past)
Sawa no Hana Sasara
The label on this previous sake said it was 🟦 very spicy, but this time it was not!
I'm not sure what I remember it tasting like, but it wasn't as spicy as it sounded.
It was a delicious sake that went down relatively easily!
The pasta was peperoncino with asari!
It is served with lots of cheese!
The fourth one is the tomato flavored pasta with crab that we had for lunch the day before!
I really wanted to pair this with sake too 🍶!
After this, I finished it off with a Dabada Fire Swing on the rocks!
Thank you very much for the meal!

Summer sake still available!
The young waitress, who poured me sake several times, and we became good friends.

Actually, this was the most delicious sake of the day!
The waiter also said it was very tasty and aromatic!

Let's move on to Junmai Ginjo from here.
I asked for Kukai, but it's already sold out!
Too bad 😢!
Then the next one is Kido's summer sake!
It has an apple-like taste like rice wine!
The next dish was rolled asparagus with meat!
Enjoy summer sake while eating snacks dipped in vinegar and soy sauce!
Fried Genghis Khan and meat rolls🥓🍖!
Guts and Sake
Delicious sake is still waiting for you!
knowledge
Junmai Ginjo-shu made from Gohyakumangoku. When you open the bottle, the fruity, apple-like ginjo aroma invites you in. When you drink it, it is light and gentle on the palate, with a cool breeze like a wind blowing through the mountains. However, it is not only light, but also has a firm umami flavor, and the crisp dryness and refreshing malic acidity will soothe the summer heat while providing plenty of drinking power.
Rice used: Gohyakumangoku
Polishing: Koji rice: 50% / Kake rice: 55

There is also my favorite Sanzen Sakura!
What's the Junmai?
Yellow labeled R
It's a classic sake!
The regulars are in my strike zone and I enjoyed them!
I want to drink Sakura Nigori at the end of the month, so I have my favorite place to store it ahead of time so I can enjoy it again!
For my entrée, I was curious about the fried Genghis Khan!
Bite-sized pieces with mayonnaise and sake!
The fried Genghis Khan is a bit sweet, so a dry sake is a good combination!
a little bit of knowledge

Mountain Kotobuki Junmai, which is often seen at Sakegawa these days.
I wonder what's coming out of it.
Yamakotobuki-colored label
This is Yamanokotobuki Freaks 2.
Low alcohol, fruity
So it's a popular sake, this taste
A little thinner than the first three.
But it went well with raw oysters!
Let's drink a little more Junmai type 🍶🍶🍶🍶.
knowledge
Yamanokotobuki Freaks 2" is the second product of "Yamanokotobuki Freaks", which is a new type of sake from Yamanohisyu, and was developed and brewed as a product containing 4MMP, a new aroma component of sake. This 4MMP aroma component is also found in white wine (mainly Sauvignon Blanc) and some craft beers, and has a refreshing aroma reminiscent of grapefruit and muscat.

しんしんSY
We have a lot of famous drinks for you to choose from.
There's Collage!
Let's go!
It's more fruity than the Akabu F
The oysters are very big, so you eat a little bit of oyster and pour some Collage into your mouth.
It's been a long time since I've tasted Collage, but now I know it's good again!
You don't have to be a jun-dai or jun-gin to enjoy this evening's sake.
The staffs are friendly and newcomers sometimes talk to me.
Which one do you want to try next?
It's hard to decide, isn't it?

Let's go next.
Which one will come for the red armour?
It was F.
It's been a while!
If Tasake is apple, Akabu is pear!
Yesterday's culinary recommendations included many items that caught my attention!

There are so many delicious drinks to choose from, so let's try the meat, fish and the pasta to top it all off 🍝.
Let's leave it at this!

Dry Sake
I'll make it auras.
South of Kochi
I've had this special junmai unfiltered nama-shu from Torin several times in the past, but this was the first time for me!
It is fresh as the word "Nama-shu" implies!
Not too spicy!
It was easy to drink!
It was a delicious sake to go with the meat sauce gratin I just had!
Now let's drink all-you-can-drink shochu!
We were told that we could drink Sato Black and Dabada Hiburi, so we had a glass of each on the rocks!
There were also some liqueur liquors such as yuzu, mandarin orange and grape, but let's save them for next time!
This spring, I will be able to visit Okayama (Kurashiki), Kagoshima, Fukuoka (twice), and Kyoto, so I will be on the lookout for good sake 🍶.
extensive knowledge
This sake is an unfiltered seasonal special junmai sake made from "Matsuyama Mitsui" rice refined to 60%.
Although the junmai ginjo has been changed to Dewasan, this special junmai is still made with Matsuyama Mitsui as in previous years.
It has a clean and crisp aroma as if from the south, fresh and full rice flavor, and a refreshing and moderate acidity that gives it a nice crispness.
Although unfiltered, it has a well-balanced flavor and is a dry sake that you will never get tired of drinking.

If there are no more sweet jungin types, let's go with dry!
The last dish was a hot meat sauce gratin!
It was mashed potatoes topped with meat sauce and baked in the oven!
Mix it well, put it in your mouth hot, and now for the dry sake!
Sweet and sour meat sauce goes well with dry sake!
To be honest, I really think that sake is an alcoholic beverage that can be easily matched with any food and accompaniments!
Let's have another glass of dry sake tonight!
extensive knowledge
Hidakami's super-harsh junmai sake is sold only at a limited number of stores in Miyagi Prefecture. This is a gem of a dry sake that is super-harsh but also full-bodied and umami. It goes well with blue fish and red meat.

Pizza and grilled oysters
There's more to come, so let's keep drinking!
The strategy meeting was not fruitful, and the bottles, all you can drink and nothing is missing!
Tonight, we were informed that the bottles of Romain and Otters were sold out😭.
We wanted to have a little sweet sake between the two.
But let's get back on track and have a dry one!
Let's see what's going to be served at Bakuren!
Azuki, white, or the recently popular black?
The standard azuki color is here!
Looking at the past postings, azuki was served for the fourth time tonight!
But this is my first time here at Momo-Rin.
I don't mind the fact that I'm an azuki, but I don't mind.
This punchy bakuren is recommended to be served cold!
I wish I could see black somewhere soon!
Today's recommended menu
There are many dishes you may be interested in!
extensive knowledge
This extremely popular super-harsh ginjo-shu is sold only at a limited number of about 50 specially contracted sake stores nationwide. This azuki-colored labeled product is commonly known as "Aka-bakuren" and was the very first "bakuren" and the original standard from which the "bakuren series" was created.

Saku Sake Sawa-no-Hana
Let's go!
Just in time for two dishes!
Today's special is 50 yen per grilled oyster!
I was also curious about the mackerel and shiso pizza🍕, so I ordered it!
It was described as "super dry" but it didn't feel that way at all!
It's jungin, so it's more fruity.
The cooked mackerel and the sour shiso pizza went very well with the sake!
It was a good experience!

After the appetizer of yuba leaves, the dishes did not come out very well.
In the meantime, let's drink sake!
On the menu, I found "Laughing Four Seasons"!
I wonder what it is!
Yesterday I had Sensation White, so tonight I wondered if it would be the same or black, or what would be the occasional black?
Black. It was black.
This is my first time!
The sake rice was changed from Yamadanishiki to Shiga Prefecture's Koshikagura!
It is a little more voluminous than White, but has a fruity finish!
There was not much left, so I had to have a refill!
The Tokachi mushroom ajillo arrived just as I was pouring my second glass!
The saltiness and the fruity sake somehow go well together!
A few words of knowledge
While the white label has a delicate, cool, dry taste, the black label has a robust, rugged flavor with body. The overall taste is cohesive, with a firm acidity asserting itself amidst the beautiful sweetness.
Sake is the sustenance for living life happily and serves as a lubricant that bonds people together. The brand name "Emishiki" was named in the hope that people will be able to spend their days smiling in each of the four seasons.

I came back to Sapporo from Iwamizawa.
I was going to check out a restaurant that I was planning to use for serving customers, but I was told that it would be difficult on the same day, so I went to Momorin for the first time in a while!
A generous restaurant that accepts one person for all-you-can-drink!
There was snow on the ground, so we were just getting started.
The waitress offered us a special limited edition Padlock of Love Junmai Daiginjo Nama Sake for Valentine's Day!
This is the second time I've had it at Kagurazaka in the past!
A sweet and delicious sake with a hint of strawberry!
Let's drink from the middle of the strike zone first!
I had a strategy meeting for a while to decide the order of today's all-you-can-drink!
Knowledge
Sweet and mellow, just like the image of "Love"! It is a sensual and beautiful sake with a gorgeous aroma, flavor and sweetness. This limited edition sake is perfect for Valentine's Day, the Dolls' Festival, White Day, graduation ceremonies, and other times of the year when love abounds.

Let's go for a little sweet drink♪
We went to Momorin, the second store of Torin near our hotel.
The friendly waitress welcomed us with a warm welcome!
We decided to have only a little bit of food and all-you-can-drink sake.
Of course, there were many of my favorite brands!
Tonight we were told that Tazake and Shoki were sold out, which was a shame!
Then let's start with Nabeshima!
What will be served?
It was purple label!
Delicious Yamadanishiki sake!
Sweet and fruity!
Good, ladder up.
Now, let's drink some more!
In case you are wondering, this is the second time I've had Purple Label!
I was drinking in Tokyo at the time (no sake-no-wa post, no rice)
(I didn't post any comments on the Sakewa post)
Some of them say "Yamadanishiki" on the lower left of the label, and some say "Ihyakumangoku".
I'm not sure what the difference is.
If you know, please let me know😊.

From Sanzensheng to Sanzensakura
The names are similar
I finally understand it recently.
I've been into Sanzen Sakura recently!
This time it was labeled Junmai sake, so I'm looking forward to seeing what's in store for me!
Junmai R
First time with a yellow label!
The last Junmai R had brewing alcohol in it, but not this time!
I think Sanzen Sakura is more suited to nigori or high-spec sake.
We've been drinking at a pretty good pace, so it's time to slow down 🍶🥂.
knowledge
R is for Rich Taste & Reasonable. The natural ginjo aroma with a hint of fragrance is pleasant. A Junmai-shu for eating, with a moderate flavor of rice. It is also suitable for warming sake.

I wasn't sure which order to put the rice wine in.
The last time I came here, I was going to ask for Kiri number, but they ran out of sake.
So let's ask for it as soon as possible!
The taste of apple in the mouth is just as I expected!
This indescribable feeling spreading in the mouth!
Now, let's try various sakes from here!
We have a lot of great sake tonight!
We also have a pasta dish!
The pasta is even more delicious than I expected!

We went to Momorin, the second store of Torin Honten, which we visited last week.
Our friendly waitress was at this restaurant this week!
I was looking forward to the all-you-can-drink service, as she accepts it even if you are alone!
We started with Ura Shibotan!
Tsukiyotan has a strong image of dry sake, but it is juicy!
Maybe because it's a draft sake!
We enjoyed asparagus sautéed in butter, assorted sashimi, and pasta (pasta left to us) with our drinks!
