At Sniper's in the Yotsubashi Building.
My second drink.
I have to admit that when I drink with others, I don't really remember what the drinks taste like.
I checked Motosaka Sake Brewery's website again later and fell in love with their cool website.
Ise-Nishiki! I didn't know they had such a thing.
I bought it at my usual Marunaka Ohashi Shoten.
It was one of the bottles recommended the last time I went there!
I bought it because I wanted to drink it heated!

The label is upside down 🤣.
Here's my rice!
I'll drink it cold first.
The aroma is just like sake!
The color is beautiful.
The mouthfeel is also very dry and it soaks into the back of your throat.
It's interesting how it goes up your nose and warms you up 👍
Next, I tried heating it to lukewarm.
The feeling that goes through the nose is softened
It is easy to drink!
Sashimi would go well with this 👍
Tomorrow I'll try it at a higher temperature 😊.
Super fresh!
THE freshly-squeezed flavor!
It has a slightly carbonated taste and is easy to drink.
It has a light and refreshing aftertaste, so I think it's a sake for everyone.
I drank Hachibei's Jugoya last year. I didn't think I would repeat it at that time, but I wanted to feel the difference because they changed to a "nama-hashiroshi" style this year.
It has some banana nuances, but also yogurt and light fruity nuances, and although it is not flashy, it is definitely delicious at any temperature. 3-4 days later, there are melon nuances.
Personally, I had the impression that it was room temperature >> cold sake >> warm sake on the first day, and room temperature >> warm sake >> cold sake after that.
It definitely goes well with autumn flavors. If you choose mushrooms, grilled fish, or takikomi-gohan (rice cooked with vegetables), you will never go wrong with this sake.
To be honest, I felt it tasted better than last year's on the first day. I like it. If you are wondering what to buy, I think this is a good choice. If you like fancy sake, this may not be for you, but those who like mild sake and mild sake will like this.
I find myself liking Hachibei's sake more and more. I wonder if they will bring back the previously existing active Nigori-nagari again.
Popular Diner Nu. Lunchtime drink at Nu.
It has a strong dry taste.
Recommended drinking styles are cold, room temperature, and warmed sake, but I think warmed sake is better!
The concept of this sake seems to be to provide an evening's peace of mind rather than the sparkle of a glass of sake.
When not drunk, it has a strong sake-like taste, with a hint of alcohol, making it seem like a deep, old man's sake. However, when drunk to a certain degree, it has a deep sweetness of rice and a mellow flavor like a burnt butter cookie.
