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: ❗️☺️

Grilled matsutake mushrooms ❣️ and Kariho hiyaoroshi lukewarm sake ❣️
It's so good 🎶!
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 🫃.

But these irregular events add fun to the deliciousness and make the drinks go further 😊. こまっちゃんWe opened a bottle of 💁 to congratulate his wife on her new job.
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.

Sashimasuri Day😍how wonderful it sounds ♬♬ these magnificent sashimi and Kiri Kariho-san! This is irresistible 😚. こまっちゃんJay & Nobby, this is a recent monthly treat🎶. こまっちゃんWell, I was thinking 🤔 what to pair with fried chicken (tulip) and chose this one👍.
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 😋.

The sweetness and umami spread gradually in the mouth, and there is a slight bitterness at the end.

I think the standing aroma is some sweetness and alcohol.
When you put it in your mouth, the acidity and umami spread in your mouth and at the end, you may feel a hint of rice sweetness.
Serve with cooked fava beans (🫘). The combination of the flavor of the fava beans and this sake makes the taste even deeper. It's a taste that sinks in. ☺️

こまっちゃんWell, I walked today 🚶I started with a walk, about 20 km 😮💨, in order to run the City Marathon Fun Run (*11.5 km) in October.
After that, sake 🍶😊 after a bath 🛀.
Best ❗️
Now let's get started. The aroma is sweet and smells like banana🍌. In the mouth it is sweeter than ❗️ imagined. And the taste is like Omachi, with a hint of bitterness at the end. It's been a long time since I've had such a sweet and tasty sake. It will sting your tired body 😆.
I served it with simmered bamboo shoots and fried bean curd. It has no bitterness and has a good texture. It goes well with this sake 😋.
I think I will sleep well today 💤.

Walking 20km is quite a distance 😳we can barely walk 6km 😅After a workout and a bath to get ready 🍶, drinking 🍶 soaks you without any guilt 🥹I would love to drink some Nanada 😋. こまっちゃんJay & Nobby I can't believe my eyes today when I look at the scale the next day and the reality is that I haven't changed 😊 But the Nanada was delicious 😊. 
こまっちゃんThis will be the second day in a row that I post on Kariho 😁.
So let's get right to it. The color is cloudy. The aroma is fresh and has a hint of yeast.
In the mouth, one first senses the sweetness of the rice, followed by a smooth mouthfeel and a rush of acidity and umami that is typical of sake brewing, and finally, a crisp finish. I think it is drier than yesterday's Spring Sakura label. But it is delicious.
I paired it with a 3-piece sashimi platter. I'll start with the tuna. The flavor of both fish becomes more intense and the taste increases. Delicious 👍Next, I paired it with salted sea urchin. The strong sweetness of the sea urchin and the scent of the sea bring out the sweetness of this sake. The last big hit is the grape shrimp 🦐. Strong sweetness and flavor 🫢 Kariho is also sweet and full-bodied. Best ‼️
