Yamahai-brewed Junmai Aged Sake🍶.
Aged. The color is like Daruma Masamune. It has an aroma of maturity, but it goes down the throat cleanly and clear. It is said to go well with miso, and it certainly does. Best marriage with shiitake mushrooms pickled in miso 💍. I wish I could have tried heating it up.

Junmai Ginjo🍶Unfiltered Nama Sake✨
Crisp, sharp and clean. The finish is dry with a sweetness to it. The shrimp and wasabi greens with sesame paste add a little more sweetness and comfort 👍Wow, that dog is so cute 😍.

It is not so spicy, but has a unique flavor that spreads in the mouth.

The driest I've had on the same day.

Maybe it was because I drank it with other dry wines, but I didn't feel it was that refreshing. Next time, I would like to try it alone.

Special Junmai 🍶.
Compared with Senkohana (sparkling firework) 😆 Relatively tasty. Slightly sweet and smooth. Relatively light. Spicy when paired with udon noodles. It's the type that can be enjoyed slowly. It is good with octopus from Sanriku.

Special Junmai🍶Soft Mouth🧊Sparkler🎇.
Light mouthfeel. Refreshing ✨Citrus 🍊 clean. A true summer sake. Matches with Himi Udon (Kaizuya) to go down your throat 😋 I think it's like ❗️ for the first drink.

Junmai Unfiltered Uncorked Raw Sake 🍶New Stored Sake ✨THE SAITAMA👌
The Saitama label has a great impact 😅The taste is wild and dry. It can accept fried squid, but it's a bit strong in alcohol. I think it would be better if it was heated up 🤔I could choose to drink standing up or sit down for a bit and the place was clean 😆.

Junmai super dry 🍶.
Beautiful taste ✨Although it claims to be super dry, it disappears easily with sweet watermelon 🍉. Excellent. The shiitake mushrooms marinated in miso are especially good 😋The sake is available in half or full, with prices starting at ¥550/full, as expected from a liquor store 😆.

Special Junmai 🍶1 time fire-fired 🔥Sai no Kagayaki🌾 from Kuki, Saitama Prefecture
A sake from my hometown in Saitama Prefecture, because it was a good opportunity. When I asked about it, I was told that it is brewed in a one-operation operation 🧐Carme-yaki style smell. Complex. Acid and sweetness are fighting each other. My wife didn't seem to like it much. It was softened when paired with myoga (pickled myoga on kombu seaweed).
The list of yeast is also made by the owner. I'm learning a lot 🤔.

Special Junmai 🍶.
Sudden, clear taste ✨ A little fruity on the palate, but not unpleasant and not sticking to the palate. Slow and steady. It tastes like water when paired with cucumbers pickled in miso.

Junmai Ginjo🍶Nama Sake✨Hyogo Taho🌾.
Beautiful and elegant. Dry after taste. Feels fragile. My wife says it's like a firework 🎇 Sweetened up with gyoza (dumplings) ⤴️ Also good with pickled white melon and myoga on kombu (kelp) 😋.
Yamadaho is the mother variety of Yamadanishiki. The sake rice lineage chart created by the store owner is a great work of art and educational ✍️
