The blue color on the right is unfiltered raw sake🟦.
The red color on the left is fire-aged
Nama sake has bubbles at the bottom of the cup.
The aroma is light and the throat is quite strong.
Nama-shu is especially strong.
Maybe because it has 18% alcohol by volume.

Ginga Heart Label Junmai Ginjo Unfiltered Unrefined Nama Sake, which we had last year at this time of the year.

I've been wondering about it on social networking sites for a while now.
I had missed it even though it was available at the "No Ie" store!
The manager of Fukurokuju told me that it was still there.
The specs seem to be the same as Oniyama (red).
In my opinion, the sweet and sour taste is good 🆗.
They use No. 6 yeast, so it tastes like this.
I found a good sake!

There were many items in the cold storage that day that I was interested in.
The manager said, "We have Genmai, too!
I had to try it!
My debut of Kawanakajima Genmai was Junmai Ginjo Unfiltered Nama-shu Shiboritate!
I've been able to find it every year...
The Kitanokatsu I mentioned earlier was dry, so this Genmai is a typical sweet and fruity new sake!
I'm glad I had a chance to try it!

What should we do next?
I asked the manager.
He happily told us that he had only one bottle of this in stock!
It seems that this bottle is only available at this time of the year and only for a limited time!
Indeed, it is not easy to find it even if you look it up on Sake-no-wa!
This is my first Daiginjo too!
It's al-douching, but the aroma is very nice!
The taste is a little spicy with no bitterness due to the beautifully polished finish!
Thank you for saving this good sake for me 😊.
I found a good sake at the beginning of the new year 🍶.

Please enjoy the rest of it at the restaurant.
New Year's greetings!
With the Dojima rolls!
The manager offered us two bottles of Yamasan for us to compare!
I was thrilled to see a brand I hadn't seen since July last year.
It was the first time for my junior to try it!
We started with the light nigori first!
The first sip!
A lot of bubbles in the sake cup!
It's fresh!
It tastes relatively mild compared to the cherry flavor of Niimasa Cosmos.
We both agreed it was delicious after all!

First visit this year to my home ground
To fulfill the promise I made when I visited at the end of the year
I brought back the Shinmasa Cosmos and Akabu that I got in Morioka in December.
Just in time, my junior who is 6 years younger than me was transferred to Sapporo, so we will drink together from now on!
I didn't keep it very cold, so it tastes great!

We finished with three kinds of sake on this day, too.
The manager brought a bottle of Hishiko Orikarami!
I used to drink this at Fukurokuju-san during this season!
The rice polishing ratio was 45% in 2021, but last year and this year, it was changed to 50% without our knowledge, even though it calls itself "jun-dai"!
Here is another one!
It has a big "shuwa shuwa" feeling!
Just the right amount of "orikara" (dryness).
It also has the freshness of new sake!
We had a second helping of this one.
Surprisingly, we drank less sake than the other day!
There were some more sakes I wanted to try, but let's call it a night!
It was snowing so hard that I was worried about walking on the snow-covered roads.
Let's keep the taci spring rolls as a souvenir and eat them at the hotel tomorrow morning!
Thanks for the service 🤭.
I promised to serve the sake I got in Morioka as a New Year's gift to the guests after the New Year.
(We visited Fukurokuju again for lunch to check out the sake selection and to secure a table.)

Here's another mouthful!
I had a bottle of Junmai Ginjo Shiboritate Nama-nama-shu here in December 2020, when it debuted at Fukurokuju, and in December of the following year!
No specific mention of the sake rice back then.
This year, the rice is Kami no Ho.
No specific aroma.
The taste was surprisingly light and fruity, as the 11th state had quite an impact!
Seafood and Bean-curd soup with Bean-curd soup and Tachi spring rolls that the restaurant was kind enough to provide!
Like last time, we talked too much, drank too much, and ate too much at too slow a pace!
I would have liked to drink more, but there was nothing I could do about it!

A few days ago, dinner with a guest.
I didn't have enough to drink, so I revisited
We were told that some new sake had arrived that day
The manager left it to us from the start
A black-labeled sake appeared!
What is it?
Jun Dai from Juichishu.
He told us that it is a very hard to find sake from Sapporo!
It is said to be from the brewery that produces Chitose Tsuru!
There is no particular aroma, but when you drink it, it has a fruity taste like pineapple and melon!
A little strong on the attack!
I like this sake. ❤️
On this day, I had a first drink with my junior at a short notice!
We ordered a single dish.

As usual on a day like this, we take out our favorite bottles from the cold storage!
Let's try the last one!
Bunraku Snow Petal!
We compared this with Snoqualmie last time, so let's drink it together again this time!
A crisp and dry ogara-mi-shu!
Tachi Bean Curd with Bean Paste
I think this is the best dish in Hokkaido that can be eaten only in the winter season!
We told the manager and the assistant manager that we got some good sake to bring in the new year!
Cosmos and Red Takeshi
Enjoy!
I will bring them well chilled!
We were able to get it in Morioka with the support of our friends at Sake-no-Wa🤭.

The dish of the day was even more elaborate than usual!
This abalone dish!
Steamed abalone with starchy sauce and hot, tender shinjyo (pickled radish), which you can't see below!
The next sake was Sunokure Yamadanishiki!
This is also the second time this season!
Koei Kiku, which we have had consistently this year!
This may possibly be the last one this year!
The manager makes a nice sound when he opens the cork
The pizzazz and sizzle has calmed down as much as it did when we opened it 10 days ago, but when we pour it into our mouths, it goes wild just right!
Good sake and food make our mouths smooth and our chats lively!

We met again, a new crop of sake.
It seems to be fresher than when I drank it at the end of last month.
It also has a pineapple, or even passion fruit, feel to it!

The motif of this year's label is a scene of golden ears of rice spreading across the rice fields during the rice harvest season, comfortably waving in the wind.
Everyone at the restaurant seemed to be busy!
Then, as usual, I returned the Bunraku I just drank to the cold storage and looked for the last sake!
There's Sage and figure!
We decided to go to Utsunomiya on December 7 and meet the people of Sake-no-wa, so let's go with Tochigi sake after all!
The first saké, if you look it up, is four years in a row 🔍.
I had already had it this season at Fukurokuju, Noe-no-Ie, and Sake-no-Sagara.
Fruity but robust!
Reviewing the label on the back of the bottle, it is a little different every year!
This year, the alcohol content is 17.0
Sake level: ➖1
It was a little sweet, so you could feel the sake content.
J&N, Kotori-san
I'm looking forward to it.
I know we have limited time, but I am very much looking forward to seeing you for the first time.

The Last of the Ori-Garami
We had this last year at Fukurokuju.
This one is relatively dry.
Four types of ogara-mi that we compared on this day.
Sakes that make me feel relieved when I drink them in this season.
I think "Hiran" and "Sunokure" were my favorite!

When I came to the store, the manager told me that there were about four different kinds of chrysanthemums for the day.
The third kind of oriented chrysanthemum is this one, Snoclette!
I just saw this one on SNS too!
And it's open-mouthed!
The manager slowly stirred the sake and poured it into the sake cup!
The amount of ori is the largest!
The attack in the mouth is the best of the day!
The feeling of the micro bubbles!
It is delicious!
Just as expected!
I wanted to refill this one, too, but I was told there was more to come.
