こまっちゃんToday I feel like drinking sake🍶. Must be because of the cold weather 😎.
Let's get right to it. First of all, the lees are amazing 😳The aroma is fresh and fermented, with a hint of sakekasu (sake lees). The mouthfeel is crisp with a feeling of petit gas. It is more refreshing than I had imagined. ❗️ It is drier than most of the Toyo Sake cups I have had recently. ‼️
Fried shrimp with tartar sauce. The tartar sauce makes the drink more smooth and the fermented taste is mixed with the umami and spiciness to make it richer. It's delicious 😋 but it also goes well with fried food. For example, fried oysters 🦪.

So it's the cold weather that makes you want to drink? I've been wanting a drink lately too 😆.
I'd like to drink it because I like it this well smothered 😊Fried shrimp & tartar is the best 😻and it goes well together 👍. こまっちゃんGood evening, Ponchan...I'm sure it's because it's cold...it was quite cloudy and crispy and delicious. The lees were awesome 🫢. こまっちゃんWell, I thought the wipers on the company car were not working well and they were out of order 😅Good thing I noticed it before the snow ☃️ season 😆Here's what I chose for such a day: 💁♂️
The nose is sweet and has a ginjo aroma that tickles the nostrils. In the mouth, a slight gasiness and sweet umami spreads, and finally a refreshing aftertaste with bitterness. It can be enjoyed on its own🆗🙆.
Serve with creamed Chinese cabbage. The richness of the cream and the flavor of the Chinese cabbage and mushrooms bring out the sweet and umami of this sake even more than I expected. I think they go well together 😋.

The nose has a gorgeous apple-like ginjo aroma. It is very juicy on the palate. It has a refreshing sweetness due to its acidity, followed by a refreshing aftertaste. Easy to drink and delicious 😋.
Pair it with grilled pork. The pork flavor and the apple flavor of this sake go well together. The juiciness and sweetness of the pork increases and makes it even tastier 😄👍
Netflix will think about it tomorrow 😆.

Let's get right to it. The nose is sweet and reminiscent of white grapes. In the mouth, there are fine bubbles and a gaseous sensation, just like champagne 🍾 with a refreshing bitterness at the end.
Serve with yakisoba. The flavor of this sake increases along with the flavor of the pork, and the bitterness at the end refreshes the palate👍.
Delicious 😋.

こまっちゃんFinal push for next week's fun run: 🏃♂️➡️ I'm so tired! My legs hurt, especially my thighs 🦵😆 Here's the water of life to relieve the fatigue: 💁♂️
The aroma reminds me of citrus fruits with a hint of sweetness along with a hint of ginjo. In the mouth it is juicy and drier than expected with a bitter taste.
Now, let's try it with oden. Personally, I think the beef tendon and egg went well together. I think the beef tendon balanced the flavor better and the egg increased the flavor of this sake 😁.
Whew, it came back to life 💪😊.

You're running 🏃♀️ awesome 😌I'm glad you're back to life with a good drink 🤗.
It's cold again this morning and it's time for oden🍢 to be delicious 😚. マナチーGood morning Komachan ☀☀☀ Snake eyes, the big size is also stylish with wine bottles 😆‼️ they are the ones I drink when I see them in izakaya 😋 they go well with oden too 😳 こまっちゃんJay & Nobby-san My spirits are revived, but my legs... (lol) It really is the season for good oden 😋. こまっちゃんGood morning, Manachie-san. I think oden goes well with beef tendon, eggs, and other rich ingredients 😁. こまっちゃんIt suddenly got cold in the evening 😨 It also rained ☂️ and the day after tomorrow ☀️ seems to be a minimum temperature of 0 degrees Celsius 🥶 Here is what I chose for such a day 💁♂️
The aroma is slightly sweet with a hint of cemedine. In the mouth, there is a sourness at first, followed by a mild rice sweetness. The bitter taste gives it a refreshing aftertaste.
I immediately paired it with a spinach salad. The smooth texture of the tofu and crispy spinach, along with the sesame and miso flavors, brought out the sweetness of the sake, but also increased the bitterness.
If you like sweet and umami taste, you may not like this 😅.

Let's get right to it. The nose has a hint of citrusy ginjo aroma. The mouthfeel is juicy and smooth with a good umami flavor. Good balance of acidity and bitterness🙆It is more refreshing than last year.
With meatballs. The beef with a slightly sweet sauce and the sweet and umami of this sake go well together 😁 each flavor is enhanced. Delicious 😋.

First, at room temperature. The aroma is fresh and lychee-like. The aroma is fresh and lychee-like. It is smooth with a hint of sweetness, but a little acidic. The aftertaste is crisp. Next, it was warmed to human body temperature. The nose has a hint of alcohol and acidity, but it is smooth and easy to drink. Finally, warm it up to the full strength. The aroma changes to a lactic acidity, and the acidity eases as it enters the mouth, leaving a crisp aftertaste.
Now, let's try it with mushrooms baked in foil with butter. The crunchy texture, bitterness, and somewhat wild flavor of natural mushrooms go well with this heated sake. ☺️
Next up was the matsutake mushrooms from Iwaizumi and 🍄🟫. The aroma was amazing👍It also had a strong crunchy texture and a hint of sweetness. I also put some sudachi (Japanese citrus fruit) on it, but the aroma was as good as the taste of sudachi. ‼️ The aroma of the matsutake mushrooms is not disturbed and leaves a hint of sweetness 👍Perfect match👌I think this is the first time I've had proper matsutake mushrooms since I came to Iwate😅.

Matsutake mushrooms again?
You are really enjoying matsutake mushrooms and sake 💕︎
Nice choice of Toyoibai 🎶. こまっちゃんGood morning, T.KISO-san. When I came to Iwate, I could get matsutake mushrooms cheaper than I imagined, so I got carried away and bought some more 😆. ジェイ&ノビィGood morning, Komacchan 😃.
The label of this Toyobai is very eye-catching! I was really curious about it because it's meant for heated sake 🍶🤗It seems a bit hard to match it with matsutake mushrooms 🍄🟫 😅I'd like to try it 😋I'd love to go to Iwate 😍! こまっちゃんHi Jay & Nobby. The heated sake was delicious 😁I don't think I would have had the matsutake mushrooms if I hadn't come to Iwate. Thank you for the blessings of autumn 🥹. ポンちゃんGood evening, Komacchan 🦉.
You had matsutake mushrooms the other day too 😳They are magnificent this time too 😻The matsutake mushrooms are delicious, but the mushrooms and the warmed sake look delicious and you are enjoying autumn to the fullest. 🍄🟫🍶 こまっちゃんHi Pon-chan. I am surprised that there are so many natural mushrooms in Morioka, ‼️ it is not as expensive as I thought it would be🫢Matsutake mushrooms are expensive, but still not so expensive that I can't afford them. Arikadaya 🤲. 
こまっちゃんI was looking forward to coming to Iwate and found the matsutake mushrooms from Iwate🍄🟫 finally found some reasonably priced ones at a produce shop‼️I'll have a bowl of this today🍶😁.
The nose has some acidity and alcohol. The mouthfeel is smooth with a hint of sweetness from the rice, and the taste is full and full with a good acidity.
I immediately paired it with grilled matsutake mushrooms. The crispy texture of the fibers and the unique aroma of matsutake mushrooms that escapes through the nose, as well as the sweetness. The matsutake mushrooms themselves were also more flavorful. Best with ‼️ and my new favorite salt made in Noda village in Iwate: ❗️☺️

I'm drooling lol こまっちゃんT.KISO-san I have been looking forward to matsutake mushrooms since I was transferred to Morioka❗️They exceeded my expectations‼️Taste that can only be found here. It went great with the kariho too😋🎵. ポンちゃんHi Komacchan 🐦.
You nailed it with the magnificent matsutake mushrooms😻It's great that they taste even better with a lukewarm glass of Kariho! こまっちゃんPon-chan Good evening. I actually bought matsutake mushrooms from Iwate Prefecture as soon as I could because the price was about the same as the sake I drank 🫢They were better than the price 😍. こまっちゃんI paired it with homemade dried Oirang Flounder from a fish store that I have always been a fan of. Enjoy😊
The nose has a clean, grain-like aroma. In the mouth, it has a smooth texture and a slight sweetness of rice, and the acidity gives it a crisp aftertaste.
Serve with dried flounder. The unique flavor of the fish combined with the acidity made for a refreshing aftertaste. I heated it up afterwards, and it became even more like sake, with more sweetness and spiciness. If anything, I think it goes better with warmed sake.

I googled "Oirangarei". I googled it 🙂There are many theories about the origin of the word, but it's a delicious dried fish 🤗There's only one choice: sake🍶‼️
It's a good time of year for heated sake🍶☺️ こまっちゃんJay & Nobby I thought it had a unique flavor and this would be more delicious dried. こまっちゃんThe last day of Morioka's autumn festival. We are all ready to welcome autumn after watching the heroic horseback archery 😄.
So I chose this sweet and tasty dish today👍.
Let's start right away. The nose is fruity with a hint of acidity. In the mouth, there is a sweetness with a refreshing acidity reminiscent of grapes, a pleasant umami taste, and a hint of bitterness at the end. Delicious 😋.
With myoga and eggplant 🍆 in a sweet vinegar and kelp. The sweet vinegar and kelp accented with the texture of the eggplant and myoga further enhances the sweetness of this sake. Delicious 😘.

I love 🍆 Nanbanzuke (pickled 🍆) and it looks delicious with ❣️ myoga! I'll try it next time...and I think sweet vinegar and sour sake would go well together 😻 こまっちゃんHi Pon-chan. The eggplant and myoga went very well together 🎶I think it can be served with both sweet and crispy sake 😁. こまっちゃんToday was supposed to be a rest day, but after watching the floats at the Morioka Autumn Festival 🎇, I felt like drinking 😅I chose this one this time👍.
Let's start with this one. The aroma is slightly sweet on the nose. It has a refreshing acidity in the mouth with a soft umami and a good bitterness. I think it is suitable for a mealtime drink.
I paired it with three kinds of snacks. The first is sanmasuzuke (a local dish of Hokkaido and Tohoku. I think it is best paired with sanmasuzuke, a local dish of Hokkaido and Tohoku, in which green chili peppers, soy sauce, and koji malt are pickled one by one. The flavors were integrated and the sweetness of the rice was enhanced. Surprisingly, it also went well with olives. The saltiness, acidity, and bitterness brought out the flavor of this sake. The mackerel chips with black pepper was also good, but I'd say it was third on this list. They are all delicious though 😋.

Right off the bat, the standing aroma is faintly fruity and acidic. In the mouth, you can feel the instant sweetness, but then it becomes crisp with acidity. Elegant and beautiful mouthfeel.
Serve it with simmered dried young sardines. The light white meat brings out the flavor of this sake and gives it a strong taste. Goes well with fish 😄.

This is Toyobai-san! I've got some in my fridge 🤗I'd love to have a glass of boiled sake 🍶😚 I'll keep that in mind! こまっちゃんJay & Nobby, Toyobai is delicious 😋, I think it goes well with fish 🐟, including sashimi 😋...and the aftertaste is more crisp than expected, so it might be suitable for a mealtime drink 😄. こまっちゃんI wondered what would be good to pair with filet mignon 🤔I chose this one👍
The color is a little yellowish. The aroma is like alcohol and green melon.
In the mouth, there is a sourness, a crisp aftertaste, and a bitter taste with a faint melon-like aroma. It has a refreshing taste typical of summer sake.
We immediately paired it with filet mignon. The crispy texture, pork flavor, and sweetness of the sauce brought out the flavor and sweetness of this sake, and they go well together 😋🍶🍶😆 I think beer would also go well with this sake, but I personally prefer it considering the harmony of the flavors 🥰.

こまっちゃんToday, the fish shop I usually go to had some good chub mackerel 🐟, so I bought some. I chose this one to go with it👍
The aroma is fresh and slightly fruity. When you put it in your mouth, it has a refreshing taste with a hint of sourness. On a hot day like today, it is best to drink it cooled down to a crisp 😊.
I started with the seared sardine sashimi. Eat it with a dash of sudachi (a Japanese citrus fruit). The delicious skin, plump texture, and light white meat flavor complement and synergize with the sake. Delicious 😋.
Next, grilled with salt. The fat from the skin of the fish stands out and enhances the flavor of the sake. This is delicious. ‼️
Personally, I think I prefer the grilled version.

こまっちゃんDaytime drinking, now nighttime drinking 😆.
The first aroma is sweet with a hint of koji. The aroma is sweet with a hint of koji.
The palate is cool and then the bitterness spreads along with the sweetness of the rice and a good acidity. The bitterness is distinctive and creates a refreshing feeling like that of white wine.
Next, fried octopus and friends. The octopus karaage and scallops grilled with butter bring out the sweetness and flavor of this sake. I think it goes well with tempura and buttery seafood. It would be a great holiday drink to drink it chilled with a set of seafood fritters on the beach 🏖️🦪😍
Oh, I forgot to take a picture of Taco Tang and friends😅.

こまっちゃんTonight I paired it with the special deca sushi😱🍣 from my favorite fish shop that the wife bought for me. This sushi is a reproduction of the size sushi eaten in the Edo period 🧐👍.
The aroma is clean and sake-like.
When you put it in your mouth, you will taste the sweetness of rice, refreshing acidity, and umami flavor spreading in your mouth, with a hint of bitterness at the end. A pleasant summery sake with a pleasant mouthfeel 😊.
With a big piece of sushi (🍣). First of all, the sushi rice is very satisfying 😳The ingredients on top are so many that it makes you want to say "a box of sea 💎 jewels📦". Also, it goes well with shichida 😋, not to mention the seafood 😍This will make you hungry today 🫃.

The aroma is slightly like muscat with a refreshing sourness.
In the mouth, it has a fresh, muscat-like fruitiness and sweetness, followed by a hint of bitterness.
Serve with garlic dumplings of shredded pork and bean sprouts. The sweetness and umami of this sake seemed to increase and become a little thicker as if in tune with the garlicky fatty pork and crunchy bean sprouts. This is delicious 😋.

Karihoサマーミスト 一回火入れ純米吟醸おりがらみ槽しぼり こまっちゃんToday is the monthly fish shop sashimi day ‼️🐟😋 with sake from here👍
Let's get started. The standing aroma is fresh with a grain aroma and a hint of rice sweetness, but overall, I think the alcohol is a bit strong.
In the mouth, I felt a melon-like sweetness for a moment, but soon a crisp, dry taste spreads in the mouth. There is a bit of bitterness in the aftertaste. I have a feeling that it is suitable for a mealtime drink.
Serve with sashimi. Personally, I liked it with sea bream and mille shellfish, both of which have a slightly sweet taste. Maybe it's because it's been a little while, but the taste has mellowed out.

The standing aroma is fresh and sweet like lychee.
In the mouth, it is juicy and slightly gassy, with a taste reminiscent of lychee and a hint of citrus bitterness at the end.
I immediately tried it with fried chicken with lemon 🍋. The slightly crisp taste brings out the flavor of this sake and increases its deliciousness. ☺️ Sake to drink in the late afternoon 🥴This is delicious 😋.
