Tonight, I'm going to open this bottle for the first time in a long time & the long layover series. Kenshin Special Honjozo 2021BY I'm going to have a glass of this sake, which has been in hibernation for more than 2 years, with a plum crystal I bought in the neighborhood as a side dish. The taste is dry and crisp when cold, but as it gets closer to room temperature, the sweetness and umami of the rice is concentrated in the attack, and it changes to a deliciously dry taste. It gently wraps the sourness of the ume crystal and washes it away, and it goes surprisingly well with it, making it a good drink. ☺️

Continued from yesterday. The second bottle is a sake called Kenshin from Niigata. This bottle was given to me by a friend of my son. The timing was not good, so I was finally able to open it. I took a sip, thinking it would be a little yellowish and dry. I took a sip. Surprisingly, it had a mild barrel sake flavor. It can be used not only with sashimi, but also with a slightly stronger flavor. Delicious! (^O^)

Tonight, here is the second one for the New Year 💁. It has a dry aroma and taste with a strong character 🍶 It flows smoothly and without boredom. The flavor of rice can be felt softly in the midst of all this 👌.

The last of the day was a series of drinks left to the owner, who, again, asked us to choose sake that we would not normally choose ourselves. We were served a Niigata sake recommended by Mr. Kawada, the owner of CHUIN, which he always buys every year. Kenshin was a first for me! The aroma is...ladylike, sweet and juicy with a hint of koji (malted rice) including the acidity typical of sake, with pleasant aromas of grapefruit, melon and banana. On the palate...smooth, mellow, and super juicy! With all due respect, it is overflowing with juiciness that is hard to believe this is a Niigata sake! While a gentle dryness peeks out a bit, the umami, including a slight bitterness, flows nicely and spastily. The aftertaste is medium short. This is delicious! It has no alsophony, and if you were to give it to me blind, I would say it was a junmai type. This is the kind of sake that overturns my biased stereotype of Niigata sake and makes me feel ashamed of my lack of knowledge and experience. I was surprised after a long time. It is delicious! The freshness and vibrancy of freshly pressed sake, the aroma brought out by the aruzome and the sharpness at the end. All the characteristics of this sake were working in the right way. I will buy it next year if I can find it. Thanks for the treat 🍶.

Refreshing ginjo aroma. It has a slight sweetness and umami from the rice, but it is very sharp. When paired with strong umami, it is a wonderful complement. A good food sake.
