It is a kind of in between the first cup of Utashiro and the second cup of Ko-Imari. The alcohol content is low, so it is light, but the umami and sweetness of the rice can be felt. It is a satisfactory selection as the third cup to finish the meal.

Perhaps because the first cup was quite refreshing, the second cup of Ko-Imari was mellow and rich. But it is not heavy and has a sharpness. The fresh scent of ginjo aroma doubles your appetite. It is a sake that makes your meal go down a treat.

I always thought it was "Gagakudai" or "Utashiro". I had it as my first drink at a sushi restaurant. The alcohol content is low, so it is very smooth. But it is very drinkable and has a clean sweet taste. It also has a certain amount of sharpness, making it my favorite type of food sake. I would like to try a different Utashiro.

The last one is Gobashi. Yamaguchi's sake is delicious. It has a full, rich flavor with a nice sharpness that never gets old. The aroma is subdued, and it goes well with sushi. It is not flashy, but it is a reliable sake that does its job well.

The second glass was Kameizumi. The label reads -11 on the sake scale, which I thought was pretty sweet. I thought, "Isn't it pretty sweet?" but when I drank it, I found it to be very mild rather than sweet. I guess the sake meter is not a simple indicator of sweetness or dryness. In many cases, the sake is not disclosed to the public, and it is important to try it if you are curious about it, considering that you may miss out on this kind of sake if you try to judge it only by its specs. However, when I buy sake on my own, I am inevitably concerned about numerical values, so I am happy that I can find sake that can be recommended at such a reliable store.

We went to a sushi restaurant for the first time in about two months to celebrate the wife's birthday. The first drink we had was Oze no Yukidoke, which is a kind of strawberry ore. The foreigner next to me was surprised at the impact of its appearance and ordered the same thing. The taste was not as sweet or cloying as it looked, but rather refreshing with a light sourness and a beautiful sweetness. It was a delicious sake that easily absorbed the unique complexity of nigori.

The second label with a bad taste. This is the one I've been debating whether or not to buy. I should have bought it. The balance of clean, umami and sweetness is just right. It might taste different if I drink it at home because of the delicious sushi and the great space...

Glorious Fuji at Sushi from noon. The taste is rather punchy. The label of Eikoufuji is amazing, but the inside is just as assertive as the outside. It is rare to find a Daiginjo with such a strong flavor. It is addictive and strong, but not at the point where it fights with food.

Since we had drunk half a cup each, we wanted just one more. So Isojiman came out. It is my favorite sake. The overall balance is very good, and it has a nice sharpness. A model sake. Everything was delicious from start to finish.

The third cup (second cup of sake) is Shimehari Tsuru. The Junmai Ginjo was served just as the nigiri was about to start. It has a slightly stronger flavor than the Sawanoi sake, and goes well with the vinegared rice.

Year-end party at a sushi restaurant. The first drink was beer and the second was Sawanoi. I don't often drink dry sake when I buy it for myself, but a big dry sake goes very well with good food. It has a nice sharpness, and the sake and the meal go down a treat.

The second cup I asked for omakase. Urakasumi with a stylish label. It is a Junmai Daiginjo, so it has a clear and sharp taste. The aroma is moderate and easy to drink. Since it was lunchtime, I asked for a half gou, but I should have asked for a full gou.

Everyone around us was a foreigner. We had no choice but to have lunch because we could no longer get a reservation. It was really luxurious to have sushi and good sake for lunch. The first sake was the stablemate, Ganki. It is a very dry and refreshing sake, but it is very tasty and full of flavor. When in doubt, go for GANKI.

The goose egg was served at this restaurant before. It was delicious then, too, but I was not able to check it in. This time it seemed quite sweet, but it was my third cup and the meal was at the end of the day, and it seemed sweet, so I am not confident in my evaluation of the sake as a stand-alone taste. It was delicious.

The first cup of omakase. Since the server knew what I liked, it was a clear, sweet and tasty sake. I have been curious about this sake, which I have recently been calling a "four-character idiomatic" type sake (I named it as such). I am glad to be able to drink the omakase, which I would not be able to buy myself for a while.

The second glass of omakase. It has a stronger umami flavor than the previous Amami, and tastes more like sake. It was as if the taste of the sushi and the sake respected each other.

The first drink that came out of the omakase. I was wondering whether I should buy it myself. But both Omachi and Yamada-Nishiki looked so good that I was wondering which one to buy and ended up not buying. It was light and fizzy, but had a delicious umami and sweetness.
