こまっちゃんThinking about what would go well with corned beef & liver paste 🤔I looked back at the comments 📝 from the last time I drank it and chose this one that I had bought 2 bottles👍.
Quickly. The nose smells like apples. The sweetness in the mouth is like honey on apples, with a sourness and bitterness at the end. The sweetness seems to have increased because the weather has cooled down a bit. It is interesting that the taste is different even though it is the same sake 😄.
Now, let's have it with corned beef and liver paste. This corned beef has a strong flavor due to its lean meat, which increased the sweet and savory taste of this sake. ❗️ Next, with liver paste. The bitterness of the red meat increased, but on the other hand, it was nice and refreshing in the mouth🙆Both of them go well with each other😍.

This is already my second bottle of Amber! It's interesting how the flavors change and feel with the seasons 😊I haven't had corned beef or anything like it for a while 🤔It looks sizzlingly good from the picture 😋. こまっちゃんHi Jay & Nobby. The corned beef was delicious😄It is from Tanohata Village in Iwate🐂I recommend it! えりりんGood evening ♡ ʕ-ﻌ-ʔ´- ฅ
I bought 2 bottles as well (ΦωΦ)hmmm...
I know it's still early, but...
There's a place in Tanohata where you can watch the first sunrise 🌅. こまっちゃんEririn-san Good morning ☀I would buy two bottles if I could. Thank you for the information about Tanohata Village... I'll check it out on the first sunrise 🔍. 
こまっちゃんAmber 😄I have been wanting to buy this sake but could not find it because it was sold out. Maybe I was able to buy it because I live in Morioka. Still, it sells out quickly 😅.
Let's get started. The nose has a hint of alcohol with a hint of sweetness. In the mouth, you can feel the freshness, sourness, and bitterness reminiscent of grapefruit. Easy to drink 😄.
With grilled chicken and paprika cheese. The chicken and cheese flavor, saltiness, and sweetness of the bell peppers add to the umami and mellowness of this sake and make it delicious 😘 For those who like sweet and tasty sake, Akabu is a must have 😉.

It's a sign of autumn 🍁 when orange labels appear 😌We had it here last year and it's still delicious 😚.
Because it's akabu 😊. こまっちゃんGood morning, Jay & Nobby. It is the season of akigari from now on. But the akabu has the same delicious taste. I'm looking forward to more 🍂sake festive things in the fall 😊. えりりんHoly kombanha, Komachan!
I bought it~ ✌️
Strong reservation (*-̀ㅂ-́)و✧ こまっちゃんI went to see Morioka's Sansa Odori dance for the first time. It was a summer festival 🎇 and there were so many people and so much excitement that it made me think 🤔. I enjoyed the festival for the first time in a long time 👍.
Today I opened this bottle while relaxing 😄
The aroma is citrusy, reminiscent of sweet summer. In the mouth, freshness, sweetness, acidity, and finally umami and a slight bitterness. Overall, this sake has a wonderful balance.
Now, let's try it with beef tendon and vegetables stewed in tomato sauce. The umami and acidity of each overlap and enhance each other's sweetness, and this sake refreshes the palate. Very good match 😍.

My partner was a citizen of Morioka, so I went a few times too 🚗 ³₃It's a festival of dancing and drums🥁, but it's a great festival with a lot of energy.
I'm also looking forward to seeing the Kanto festival in Akita. こまっちゃんT.KISO I want to go see the three major festivals in Tohoku while I am in Tohoku 😍. こまっちゃんWell, I'm tired. 😮💨 I went down south through Iwate prefecture, and after crossing the mountains to get to the ocean side, I came back up north to Morioka this time. About 430 km🚙.
On a day like this, I chose to go to Otsuchi since I was passing through 👍.
The aroma is citrusy. The palate is crisp and grapefruit-like with no bitterness.
Now, let's try it with Shijimi clam with garlic butter. The unique flavor of the shijimi combined with the garlic butter soy sauce gives this sake a strong flavor, but with the freshness of a summer sake. Delicious 😋.

First of all, let's start with the standing aroma. It's refreshing but a little alcoholic.
In the mouth, it has a sourness and umami, with a hint of sweetness. The aftertaste is smooth.
Now, let's try it with the long-awaited sea urchin. The aroma of the sea and the sweetness, which is crispier than expected, enhances the sweetness and umami of this sake and makes it more delicious. ☺️ A truly luxurious pairing 😘This week's fatigue is gone 🚀.

Fresh sea urchin from Iwate and Iwate sake😍this is irresistible 😋🍶 dry sake to complement the deliciousness of the appetizers 🤗Great start to the weekend! こまっちゃんJay & Nobby, we're having a great weekend with delicious sea urchin and sake... こまっちゃんWell, I walked again today 🚶😆 and I opened this one 💁.
The color is cloudy and gassy, like calpis. Be careful to open the bottle ⚠️ it was moderately tough 😅
The aroma is soft and lactic acidic. If I had to say, I would say it was like pickles.
When you put it in your mouth, it has a gaseous feeling, a richness like doburoku, a fermented acidity that reminds you of clear lactic acid bacteria, and a delicious flavor, with a hint of bitterness at the end.
With grilled chicken and tomato cheese. The chicken and cheese flavor and the sourness of the tomatoes combine with the richness and sourness of this sake to create a mellow taste. It's different from the sake I usually drink, but I personally find it interesting and I like the taste 👍.

こまっちゃんThe week is over ‼️ and now we're off to bliss 😇
Let's start with the first sip. The standing aroma is not as much as I expected, and there is a slight hint of koji and alcohol.
In the mouth, there is a refreshing gasiness, juicy, light sweetness and umami, and a pleasant bitterness that refreshes the palate at the end.
With pork belly cutlet. I paired it with yuzu ponzu (citrus ponzu citrus juice) and wasagarashi (Japanese mustard) instead of sauce. The sweetness of the fatty pork belly, the freshness of the yuzu flavor and acidity, and the accent of the wasagarashi go well together 😄The sweetness and umami of the sake became stronger and even more delicious because of the desire not to be defeated by this flavor 😋.

It seems to bring out the best in Luka 👍. こまっちゃんJay & Nobby, we're enjoying it 😄It's even more delicious before the holidays. ☺️ Master Luca really pulled it off. ‼️ こまっちゃんIt's been a while since Machida 😁 opened without any problems, especially for the opening note ⚠️!
Immediately. The nose has a hint of koji malt.
When you put it in your mouth, there is a freshness in the gasiness and softness. The sweetness is less than I had imagined, but the richness and umami are stronger.
Serve with yakisoba. I tried pairing it with tuna, but personally I don't think it was as good as the other one 😅I think it would be better with sashimi.

Machida Yumachi! It's a great wine that can be enjoyed on its own 🤗It's true that it goes better with meat than with fish 😋. こまっちゃんJay & Nobby I haven't had a drink in a while and it was delicious 😊 It's also ◎ on its own. こまっちゃんWell, it was hot from noon today 🫠I thought about what I could have a quick drink 🤔I chose this one👍.
The color is cloudy. The aroma is sweet like wasanbon and has a hint of koji.
When you put it in your mouth, there is a slight gas feeling, juicy, pear-like fruitiness and umami, and finally a bitter taste. Kuikyuu-kaikyu-kei 😊.
With yam teppan natto with cheese. It's not that it doesn't go well with it, but the sweet and umami taste of this sake has slightly erased the unique flavor of the natto-based yam, and I think it's more assertive than it should be. I also tried it with pork miso soup, which I think is a better match. Still, it may be a little sweet. I looked at last year's comments again, but I think it would be better with fruit, sweet baked goods, or as an aperitif 😊.

Pork miso soup is very delicious when you finish drinking 🎶. こまっちゃんGood morning Eririn-san 😃Good morning 😃I enjoyed Morioka's food, culture and nature during GW...and sake of course😊Pork miso soup really sinks in after drinking 😌I think I will return to my parents' house another time: ✈️ 
こまっちゃんI got some cod sprouts and was thinking 🤔 what to pair them with, so I chose this one👍 after reading the comments 📝 on sake-no-wa.
The color is like a spring haze. The aroma is fresh, with a hint of sourness, like calpis.
It is smooth in the mouth. However, it is less sweet and more refreshing than I expected. It might be good on a hot day like today.
With spring tempura. I think the cod sprouts were the best match. The texture is firmer than I expected and the bitterness brings out the sweet and savory taste of this sake. ❗️Yah 😅Next is the asparagus and last is the udo. I think udo is a bit strong by itself. But it's delicious though 😃.

Tempura of cod sprouts and other vegetables!

こまっちゃんI wondered 🤔 what would be good to pair with the horse sashimi I bought yesterday in Towada, and chose this👍.
Craft sake from Iwate. They also said it is a new sake with grapes added.
So here we go. The color and standing aroma are both rosé wine. After that, there is a hint of rice aroma.
In the mouth, the sweetness of the rosé wine and rice is alternately felt, and finally the moderate bitterness of sake spreads. The color is spring-like and perfect for cherry blossom viewing 😚 and very easy to drink. I think even sake beginners🔰 would like it.
Serve with horse sashimi. It tastes like wine with garlic (🧄) and like sake without any condiments. Interesting 😄.

こまっちゃんAs this is my 700th post, I chose this one👍.
The aroma is not as strong as Muscat, but fresh and gentle, reminiscent of grapes 🍇.
It is more refreshing than I expected and has a soft sweetness and acidity, which gives it a spring-like feeling. There is also a slight gassy sensation.
Serve with croquettes. If you eat it simply without sauce, the flavor of this sake increases and it is delicious 😋.
It will be gone in no time😅.

こまっちゃんWell, I'm tired 🥱Morioka to Aomori, then Akita to Morioka. I went there for two days and one night 🚙From Hanamaki, I got my first baptism of snowstorm😅.
To relieve the fatigue, come on, let's drink ❗️ and let's get on with it. The standing aroma is muscat-like and fresh. In the mouth, it is juicy and sweet at first, but then you feel the bitterness. If anything, it is sweeter than I had imagined. However, there is no persistent aftertaste.
With gratin. The extract from the seafood and the smooth texture of the ingredients go well with the sweetness brought out by this sake 😄Delicious 😋.

When I opened the lid, I could smell the aroma of malted rice, but the aroma was slightly fruity and mild. When you put it in your mouth, the sourness and bitterness comes and then the elegant sweetness spreads. Easy to drink 😁.
Today I had it with soy milk hot pot 🍲. The smooth taste goes well with the fruity sweetness of this sake 😋.

The aroma is a hint of grain in the ginjo aroma.
The sweetness in the mouth reminds me of Japanese sugar, and there is a pleasant bitterness at the end. Easy to drink and delicious 😋.
With the rape blossoms dressed with mustard. The crunchy texture and slightly bitter flavor go well with the sweetness and bitterness of this sake 😊.

I knew I wanted a dry local sake to go with it‼️, so I chose this one👍.
Now then, let's open the bottle☺️The color is slightly yellowish. The aroma is fresh with a hint of sweetness and alcohol. The mouthfeel is fresh, crisp, dry, and clean. The umami has a subtle sweetness and bitterness. It is best as a food sake 😀.
Serve with fresh salmon. The synergistic effect of the umami. It is a bit salty, but it brings out the umami and sweetness of this sake. Delicious 🤗I found a good fishmonger 😁.
Next, I paired it with cod. Maybe because it is light, it is a bit lost to the sake flavor. If anything, fish with more flavor and fat would be a better match.
