Lunchtime drinking today
The first sake I had was a cute label.
It has a gentle taste, but I think I'm drinking a good amount of sake!
It is comfortable to drink and makes me feel the mild spring air.

Shinriki" is a revived rice that was produced in the Meiji era (1868-1912), and together with "Kame-no-o" and "Aikoku," it was called one of the three major rice varieties of the Meiji era.
This sake is made from this rice.
I personally think it is suitable for cold sake in summer because it is smooth, acidic, and sharp, and does not leave much of a lingering aftertaste.

The last one is Yamahai brewing, sunlight.
Sake made from Hinohikari rice, and brewed using the old Yamahai method, which does not require much polishing of the rice and requires a lot of time and effort, so that its unique characteristics can be enjoyed.
The aroma and fullness of Yamahai are unique to Yamahai. It is clear and easy to drink without any cloying taste.
It is perfect for the third cup of sake.

The sake is a little sour but not that bad, fruity and juicy in a way.
The first Junmai Usu-nigori is my favorite, but that reputation changes drastically when it is paired as a food sake.
Matching ... Tempura of hamo and new lotus root. It is an excellent match for this! Please try it with oily food, and with food that makes the most of the flavors of the ingredients. Delicious!

Today, Okura Honke Fair was being held at Yashima-san, so we dared to compare three kinds of sake.
The first one. Kinzumi Junmai Usu Nigori (light nigori). The first one on the left.
It is an easy-drinking, slightly sweet muddy sake. In other words, right in my middle.
Very tasty.
If you want to drink it without any accompaniments, this is the one.

Please give me something spicier! I asked for more spiciness! The name is Bakurai Dry +28!
It is said to be the hottest sake in Japan.
I could already taste the umami of rice, but right after that, I couldn't tell if it was sake or not...it was like a sensation that went right through my mouth. Interesting.
Super dry. It's an experience. It might be good as a topic of conversation.
This was my last drink of the day.
