Omachi rice + Hakuto yeast used
Junmai sake produced by the TAKEO 20 Project, a collaboration of agriculture, commerce, industry, and university students, using specially cultivated Omachi rice from Tatebe-cho, Kita-ku, Okayama City.
The label looks modern!
This one is definitely fruity 😆.
Fruity sweet and sour
Light and easy to drink
Hiruzen style yakisoba noodles and umaumaumauma 🐎.
I bought a lot of kamaboko at Sakaiminato because they are easy to carry and store 🐟.
The crab has a very interesting shape and I can't stop smiling just looking at it 🦀 🦀 🦀 🦀.
I found out about it thanks to the Kenmin Show program 😁.

Okayama Kamogata Sake
Kujira Masamune "Dainippon Bicchu no Sake" 🐋.
The writing on the label is awesome!
There was a time when whaling was very popular in the Seto Inland Sea, and this brand name was born.
This is another hard-drinking sake that is perfect for a meal.
The strong umami stands out.
The acidity is very characteristic.
The photo shows Tottori Sand Dunes and Beef Bone Ramen🍜.
The beef bone broth is refreshing, but the beef bone broth is very well-done and tasty 😋!
I have never had this taste before! Sheshin
I also drank some pear juice!
I wanted to buy and try the famous 21st century pears.
Too bad they were sold out🥲.

Hi Jay & Nobby!
Last year, right?
I read Jay & Nobby's travelogue - Tottori 😃.
The dunes look wet in the photo!
The sun is so bright these days 🌞.

Okayama Local Sake
The first brand I ever drank
The original Omachi rice "Takashima Omachi" is used 🌾.
No trendy fruity aroma
Classical taste
Full of thick flavor and richness
A crisp and dry mid-meal sake

As far as I know
It was brewed by a Taiwanese who did not know how to make sake and commissioned a Taiwanese brewery to brew it!
Only 380 bottles were brewed and the price was 6500JPY
Too expensive 🤔

The brewery is Kirimine No Kai.
In fact, this brewery has little or no experience in sake brewing 🙃.

Master recommended this one to our neighbor, too.
They say you can drink sake like a highball.
Let's drink it once!
I'll have it as my closing drink.
He recommends a ratio of 1 sake to 2 sparkling water.
I drank it in gulps, and tonight's one-person evening party came to an end!
There was also some aperitifs, but let's call it a night!
Three nights, four days of study and lobbying
The night is free, so let's spend it studying the culture of Okayama 🧫.

The taste is just as you said, like a clear white wine!
It goes well with Hiruzen-style yakisoba noodles flavored with miso!

It is made with white peach yeast, so it somehow has a peach flavor reminiscent of the winter moon!
This sake is also Sakabayashi's original sake and is made by Kumaya Sake Brewery, which brews Ishichi!
To finish off the entrée, we ordered Hiruzen-style yakisoba and drank the sake while eating the yakisoba 🍶.

Now that I've finished the triple crown, I'm going back to the three drink comparison.
From here, I chose the one I was interested in!
I heard that you can drink Yamada-Nishiki in Okayama, too!
Yamada-Nishiki on the label!
Above it was a small "Kyokusei"!
I heard it is called "Kiwami Hijiri"!
It is a brand with a nice name!
From here on, we took our time to finish each sake one by one before moving on to the next!
A slightly dry sake with a lot of flavor!
It is a very good sake to drink with the char-grilled forest chicken!
It is not chewy like Miyazaki Jidori chicken, but very tender and juicy, and goes very well with chicken dishes!
Knowledge
This special junmai sake is made from 100% Yamada-Nishiki grown in Okayama, the land of fine weather, and polished to 60%. We are particular about the koji mold and yeast we use. The koji mold used is of a high quality specially designed for junmai sake, and it gives the sake a clean and clear taste. The yeast used is a blend of ASA 1801 and ASA 9, which harmonizes the balance of aroma and taste, making it a refreshing dry sake that you will never get tired of drinking and that conveys the elegant flavor of rice the more you drink it.

I know prewar Haruyasu Nakajima from baseball books.
I wanted to try a sake with such a great name, so I decided to have a Junmai Asaichi Hi-ire once.
The master poured it for me!
I was expecting it to be very spicy, but instead I found it to be light and fruity!
He also recommends heating it up!
Knowledge
Although it is rice rice, it can be brewed into a very tasty sake, and as a sake brewery in Okayama, we use it with the desire to "use local products. The original flavor of the rice is expressed well, and after being heated, it has matured in the brewery for more than one summer.

This store has many brands of ISHICHI 7.
In the cold storage room, there are different colored labels of Ishichi.
The master recommended a delicious hiyaoroshi.
It doesn't feel so matured, but it's easy to drink!
It was a good selection!
The sourness and sake go well together again.
I enjoy Okayama's sake alone tonight with a groan!
The master and the customer next door were discussing about Sake while enjoying the snacks 🐟!
Knowledge
Mr. Sakabayashi here!
It seems that they also sell sake, so I searched for this sake on the internet and found it!
Since its establishment in 1716 in the middle of the Edo period (1603-1868) by Ishichi Araya, Sakabayashi has been dedicated to sake brewing. It is an easy-to-drink sake made with 100% groundwater from the mountains behind the brewery. Kumaya Sake Brewery uses a mixture of slightly soft and slightly hard water from different wells on the premises for their brewing water. The ratio is a trade secret. There is the tomb of Prince Yorinin, the fourth prince of Emperor Go-Toba, near the brewery, and Prince Yorinin was called Reisen-no-miya, which may have brought soft and hard water to this area.

Pair it with sashimi from the Seto Inland Sea.

Master, what kind of sake do you like?
I said, yes, I like fruity, peachy taste like winter moon!

The cruising series is a prototype for Tagaji. The Yamahai Type B had a calmer acidity than the Type A, with more umami and bitterness. It is sharp with piquancy. I would like to drink it with Oden.
