sikamaruOnly those who chase two hares will catch two hares. Such a cryptic catchphrase, isn't it? The taste is soft, with a sweetness that is typical of Aizan, and is nicely integrated, just like a Junmai Daiginjo. The aroma is moderate, and the overall sense of cohesion is high for a draft sake. It must be really hard to make. When drinking it, you want to kill two birds with one stone. sikamaruThe first drink at a sushi restaurant. It starts with a seasonal light nigori. It is slightly sweet and the nigori is silky. It is not too assertive, but it supports the flavor of the dish well. It is delicious. sikamaruI asked for one more drink at the end and got an amazing one. It came out that I would never buy and drink it myself. He recommended that I should definitely drink it, so I did. The flavor is amazing. It has a mellow aroma and a rich umami that is easy to drink, which is no longer a mystery. And it goes properly with sushi at the end of the day, such as winter fatty tuna and sweet clawed conger eel. We had great sake and great sushi. sikamaruMaybe for the first time, Koryu. It tastes much cleaner than I imagined. I thought it had a heavy taste. Sorry. It goes well with fatty winter tuna. sikamaruSushi New Year's party. It is easy to drink and goes well with tasty snacks and pleasant conversation. I can drink it all the time. sikamaruThe second drink of the year-end party. Orange label makes me think of autumn sake on its own. I don't often buy orange labels myself. I am not attracted to it. But so far, I have never been disappointed with orange label. It is mellow and has no peculiarities, but I imagine it is characterized by its umami. I had an image that Izumo Fuji was rather dry, but I was nicely betrayed. sikamaruA drink at a year-end party. It is a family-like drink where everything is in natural harmony without any sense of discomfort. The food, the space, the flavors, everything is in mellow harmony. Akabu is a family. sikamaruThe third (and last) cup was Tanaka Rokuugo. The impression was that it was even more umami than Tobiroki and Hakurakusei. However, for fatty fish in winter, it is necessary to have this kind of punch to reset the palate and achieve a synergistic effect of umami. It is the best when it is delicious both to eat and to drink. sikamaruThe second drink at the sushi restaurant. Another nice Junmai Daiginjo sake. I thought, "Isn't the order reversed? But when I drank it, I found it to be a little sweeter than Tobiroki's Junmai Daiginjo, and it was gorgeous, perfect for the middle part of a meal. This is a sake that makes me look forward to its future development. It is perfect as a food sake. sikamaruFirst drink at the sushi bar. Nice sake, too good for the first drink, but top notch as a top drinker. It has a nice umami flavor, but it is not heavy. It has a sharpness, but not at all like it is forced to be sharp by bitterness or acidity. It's a complete sake. sikamaruThe third cup was Houou Mita WINE CELL, which, as the name suggests, has a fresh taste with white wine-like acidity and bitterness combined with the delicious flavor of rice. It has a beautiful taste with a nice sharpness, so it is perfect as a closing drink. You may be tempted to think you can drink more, but it is important to control yourself. sikamaruThe second drink is a yui with laughing characters. I like this label. The taste is clean and clean, sweet and delicious. It is my favorite flavor. The meal was great as the nigiri was just starting and the atmosphere was very exciting. Even though the sake has such a pronounced flavor, it goes well with the food. It is a marriage of the skill of the owner and the skill of the sommelier. sikamaruThe first drink at a sushi restaurant. Mr. Yamamoto also has a good beer. This is my first time to try orange. I think it is one of Yamamoto's richer flavors. Yamamoto has an image of being rather dry, but Orange spreads the umami of the rice and disappears quickly. It is like a crisp special junmai. It is delicious. sikamaruThe last one is Ippakusuisei Aizan. I like the Ippakusuisei label. This was probably my first Aizan. I was already quite drunk, so my impression of the taste is a bit vague, but it has a strong sweetness and umami, and seems richer than the other Ippakusuisei I have had so far. I like the taste. I wonder if it is made to go with conger eel and eggs. sikamaruThe second cup is a Junmai Daiginjo, Hakurakusei. It is a nice, crisp Hakurakusei that resets the palate just as the nigiri is about to begin, and the aroma is more subdued than the first HIROKI, allowing the food to take center stage. sikamaruIt's been about two months since I've been to my favorite sushi restaurant. The heat these days is extraordinary, so we started with a beer to quench our thirst before the first round of drinks. What came out was a Junmai Daiginjo of Tobiroki, and like the #1 pitcher Otani, the boss appeared out of nowhere. It was a perfect match for the first tsumami, and the exchange of umami started right from the start, invigorating the palate. sikamaruIt is a kind of in between the first cup of Utashiro and the second cup of Ko-Imari. The alcohol content is low, so it is light, but the umami and sweetness of the rice can be felt. It is a satisfactory selection as the third cup to finish the meal. sikamaruPerhaps because the first cup was quite refreshing, the second cup of Ko-Imari was mellow and rich. But it is not heavy and has a sharpness. The fresh scent of ginjo aroma doubles your appetite. It is a sake that makes your meal go down a treat. sikamaruI always thought it was "Gagakudai" or "Utashiro". I had it as my first drink at a sushi restaurant. The alcohol content is low, so it is very smooth. But it is very drinkable and has a clean sweet taste. It also has a certain amount of sharpness, making it my favorite type of food sake. I would like to try a different Utashiro. ジェイ&ノビィGood evening sikamaru😃.
We call you Mr. Masayo 🤗
We haven't raised it yet but we had it the day before 😋 We also had 2 other bottles and they were all delicious ❗️ sikamaruThank you for your comments, Jay & Nobby. Masayo-san certainly looks the part. I would like to meet a different Masayo-san too. sikamaruThe last one is Gobashi. Yamaguchi's sake is delicious. It has a full, rich flavor with a nice sharpness that never gets old. The aroma is subdued, and it goes well with sushi. It is not flashy, but it is a reliable sake that does its job well.
