こまっちゃんTo relieve the fatigue 🥱 from yesterday's one-day business trip to Aomori 🚙, I opened a bottle of Uguisu in the garden, which I haven't seen in a while 😁.
Let's start with the first sip. The nose has a sweet white grape-like ginjo aroma. In the mouth, it is juicy and fresh with a hint of gas. The bitterness is more than I expected, along with a soft sweet umami flavor.
Serve with grilled chicken wings. The crispy chicken further concentrates the sweetness of this sake, creating a duet of bitterness and umami. Delicious 😋.
It takes away the fatigue 😪.

Let's start with the nose. The nose has fermented acidity and a hint of fresh fruity notes.
The mouthfeel is clean and refreshing, with citrus-like sweetness and acidity, with a hint of ear of rice, and after the umami, a slight bitterness tightens the taste and gives it a final sharpness.
First, with salted red clams 🦪. It is almost raw. The strong individuality of the flavor seems to be slightly overpowered by the sake. I also paired it with tuna meat that had been stripped of its threads, and this one is the best 😊(*I didn't take a picture of it, but it's great 💦).
Next, I paired it with beef tendon oden. The sweetness of the beef tendon gives sake a sharp and clean taste that turns it into a crisp dry sake. This is a good sake as a food sake.

Let's start with the first sip. The nose has a nice citrus sweetness and acidity with a hint of ginjo aroma. In the mouth, there is a hint of rice and banana-like sweetness before it ripens, followed by a refreshing acidity. Finally, there is a pleasantly clean umami and bitterness along with a sense of koji.
Serve with braised chicken wings. The tenderness of the chicken wings and the collagen further bring out the umami of this sake, making it rich and mellow to drink. I think the taste of rokusyu might be a little bit stronger than the other sake. But it is delicious, though (laughs).
I also paired it with peanuts, which went well with the sake 😊The strength of the sake's flavor is balanced out just right 🆗.

Peanuts and sake.
I want to try this combination!
I'd like to try it 😋👍 こまっちゃんGood morning, Shin God 😃The pairing with peanuts🥜 was more compatible than I expected 😊Try it out👍. こまっちゃんIt's hard because my upper right back tooth has been removed and is undergoing treatment 😂I changed my mind and opened this bottle today: 💁♂️
Let's start with this one. The nose has a soft cemedine smell. In the mouth, there is a hint of rice sweetness and bitterness, and a firm acidity. The overall impression is hard.
First, it is served with tunafish. The acidity of this sake refreshes the flavor and fat of the tuna. Especially good with kimchi tunas🙆It might be better with a little punch.
Next, we had Japanese-style Kanjanggaejang. The unique taste and sticky texture of Ganjanggaejang matches well with the strong acidity of this sake 😊.

I hate it when tooth coverings come off 😫 but the nettles and tunas are not only delicious but also good for your teeth 🤗.
The drink is perfect and it will make you feel better! ポンちゃんGood morning, Komacchan 🐥.
I know teeth are hard 😢during the treatment, I somehow lose my appetite 🥺I hope you can eat as good as you can 🙏.
I only drink Aisan, but it tastes good with strong and dark food! こまっちゃんGood morning Jay & Nobby 😃Good food and drinks helped me forget about the lack of cover 😆. こまっちゃんGood morning, Ponchan 😃I think this time the drink went well with the food which is quite peculiar. I'll have to be patient for a while without the cover... 😅I can't wait to take a good chew! こまっちゃんFirst oriental beauty in a long time. Looking forward to it 😊.
Let's get started. Standing scent is peach🍑? apple🍎? The ginjo aroma reminds me of various fruits. In the mouth, it is fresh, sweet, and soft. There is a slight bitterness at the end. It's been a while since I've had a sweet-tasting ❗️😋 Overall, the impression is more delicate and feminine than powerful. A true oriental beauty 👘.
With chicken breast Kentucky style. The spiced chicken breast was juicier and tastier than I expected, which further increased the sweet and tasty flavor of this sake. It might go well with spice 🙆.

Let's start with this one. The nose is like sweet ripe banana🍌 with a hint of alcohol and grain. When you put it in your mouth, you first feel the grain and alcohol, and then the fresh sweetness and acidity spreads.
Serve with duck hot pot. The unique flavors of duck and celery, combined with the sweetness and umami of the vegetables, increase the sweetness and richness of this sake and make it well-balanced. I feel that the taste of both has increased 😁 good 👍

Duck nabe and sake is the best! If it's from a buckwheat noodle shop, it's even better 😻The rich taste of the duck and this sake seems to go well together 😋. こまっちゃんPon-chan-san Kamo nabe and sake went well together 😁It's still a little ways to go but I'm sure we'll have a good new year 🎶. 
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 🦪.

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👍.

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 💪😊.

(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 😅.

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😅.

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: ❗️☺️

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.

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 😄.

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 🥰.
