Toyo Bijin Bessen Yamadanishiki 720ml (1,485 yen)
When drunk in a cooled state, it has a sweet-tart flavor with a slight banana-like aroma.
It is also good that the price is reasonable in spite of the recent price hikes.

Morishima Yamadanishiki Junmai Ginjo 720ml (1,870 yen)
It has a fresh aroma like white grapes and is clean and light on the palate when cooled. As it cools down a little at room temperature, the flavor of the rice comes out. It seems to be a good sake for both Japanese and Western cuisine.
Anyway, the label is cool. The picture of a rock is also very cool.

Dark, sweet, and rich.
A dessert sake that has a long, lingering aftertaste on the palate, although the mouthfeel is a bit schwaty 🍶.
It is like drinking strawberry cream with a sour taste.

Finally caught the cicada 🎉🥰.
I'll drink it soon now: ‼️
They all look so good and I've always wanted to drink them someday ❤️ glad 😆
Today's menu is crab cream croquettes and grilled salmon. Vinegared wakame seaweed and marinated snap peas and octopus as garnish.
I also added yuzupon to the crab cream seeds💓.
Cicadas are sloppy! Amazakai 💕Has little spiciness and bitterness, light with a hint of astringency at the end.
Throwing yuzupon into crab cream croquettes was the right choice 👏😆 It also went well with sweet salmon💓.
I'm happy because I worked hard from noon to make crab cream croquettes 🥹😋🥹😋 and cicadas are very delicious and happy too 😋 ❤️
Impressions of the alcohol by itself are in charge of shinsaku3💕.

Mr. Pekho was curious about this sake 😃.
This is my first time to try this sake!
According to the description
"Sweet and sour with a light taste.
It can be enjoyed casually while retaining the acidic structure of the flavor" 🧐.
It is delicious 😋.
Light sweet and sour taste as described👍
Seems like it would suit a scene where you keep sipping it on a summer evening with a summer meal😃.
We served it chilled😃.

Good evening, shinsaku3!
Peckho-san's long-awaited Cicada Shigure, Peckho-san praised it highly, but I wonder if it is more acidic than sweet in shinsaku3-san's opinion. Somehow there seems to be another difference between the two of you in your views ⁉️🤣

This is the time of year when there is plenty of draft sake, so hurry up and try your first ㊗️ sake challenge ‼️ tonight is Kitajima-san👍.
With this appearance, I thought it must be Japanese food, so the lineup included grilled Hokke, a little bit of sashimi of tuna, mekabu with hot egg, fried asparagus, mushrooms and homemade pancetta, and pickles. ‼️
Mr. Kitajima has a fresh, slightly cemedine-like aroma, and a sweet-bitter, or maybe umami-bitter because it's not very sweet 🧐 No, the end result is a peculiar sourness. Not spicy at all! But not sweet! Yeah, it's delicious 😋💕.
It doesn't interfere with any of my meals, it's very nostalgic! I'd love to try the rest of the lineup 🥰.
I'm in charge of shinsake3 for impressions of the alcoholic beverages on their own💕.

Good evening, Mr. Pekho😄You've been going toward the dry side lately, Mr. Pekho⁉️ Kitajima, from your image it looks spicy💦I think it would be suitable for Japanese food sake🧐On the contrary, it would complement your dishes🥰I applaud your challenge👏.

Never had this series + first time at a liquor store.
Pekho-san bought it for me after agonizing over it for an hour 😊.
This is my first Kitajima 😃.
According to the description
The description reads: "Aromatic and mellow. Soft acidity unique to Mizukagami, and a pleasant aftertaste. Fresh and vibrant.
The description says it all.
Delicious ❣️😋
I have the impression that this is similar to the Yamazan we had yesterday👍.
Yamasan has a sweet and delicious taste in the mouth, followed immediately by an unctuous bitterness, which is quickly cut off.
Such is my impression 😋.
We served it chilled.

This is the popular Ayako!
I've been hearing his name around me a lot lately.
It is easy to get, but it is often sold out.
It's delicious and cost-effective, so it's no wonder it's so popular.
I went to buy it at Horikoshi-san because the PayPay campaign had started in Sakado City.
The parking lot was full and there were many cars with out-of-prefecture license plates!
This is the first time I've tasted Asaromi, and it's as juicy as the label says! It was juicy and had a peach🍑 feel!

It tastes best when chilled to a crisp 😊.

Adult Calpis just as I had heard by word of mouth.
Easy to drink at 6% alcohol, I drank more and more and soon I had a whole bottle 😆.

The melon and sweetness were more pronounced and tasted better after a few days than when the bottle was just opened.
The mouthfeel is gentle, and the aftertaste is refreshing even though there is a sense of alcohol when it goes down the throat.
It is easy to drink even though it has a fire-like taste.
