It's getting a bit cold, so I thought it would be nice to go the classical route.
It is like a melon, but dry.
My wife returned it to me, saying she preferred Kangiku.
Of course, I like the taste.
I think I'll reserve a bottle for February's Koshitanrei 😀.
Lunchtime drinking in Omiya on a weekday off.
I went to Akamaruya, a chain restaurant but not to be underestimated.
A glass of Kirinzan.
This sake,
I believe this sake was the origin of Haruei Chichi's saké no wa, his first contribution.
Kirinzan is a Niigata Prefecture sake with a particularly clear and dry image,
This Potari-Potari also has a dry sharpness and freshness. It is a good sake.
I love Shizuoka Prefecture, especially Numazu. I had a friend from school in Numazu, so I visited there many times when I was single and ate and drank at Numazu Port.
I had the impression that the horse mackerel was especially delicious.
Half-cooked fried horse mackerel.
Fresh fish directly from Numazu Port.
And pickled squid (on the left side of the second photo).
Whenever I visit Numazu, I always buy this pickled squid.
It is wonderful as a snack or as a friend with rice🍚.
There is a fish shop next to the izakaya (Japanese style bar), and I visited there after drinking to buy some "pickled squid" and fresh fish.
Hiraccio, is that where the Akamaru store is?
Next to the fish shop. I'm curious about both Potari-Potari and Sanzuke, so I guess I'll buy some souvenirs and drink again tonight 😁.
Harry, that's right.
It is alongside Hidakaya and others on Suzuran Street.
The fishmonger told me the same thing.
So you're going to drink again at night? And 😅
Numazu sanmasuzuke is a good snack for sake👍.

The aroma is subdued, quiet and gorgeous.
The taste has a slight sweetness and a sharpness with the goodness of a pure sake. It is easy to drink.
It is recommended with seafood.
Serve with oysters.
Please try it.
Good evening, Mr. Jaynoby!
We didn't have enough alcohol, so we opened some alcohol that we purchased separately! Whiskey is exquisite with oysters, if you would like to try it 😊.
Almost colorless and transparent. The aroma is full and fragrant, reminiscent of grains and nuts, with a hint of black tea. The aroma is strong. The mouthfeel is fresh and smooth. The mouthfeel is rich and mellow, with a strong astringent and umami taste that quickly follows. The overtone is reminiscent of milk tea. It has a long aftertaste. A mellow sake.
By the way, it was shipped from the brewery last year. The owner kept it in his own refrigerator for about a year.
No wonder it is full of a sense of maturity and richness.
I also tried a highball and lemonade. My first impression was that it was "smooth". Yes, it is more than round and mild, but it is very smooth. It is easy to drink, and the taste is refreshing, but the smoothness of the sake on the palate is a little too much for me, as I like to drink sake with food (especially seafood), and I felt it interfered with the taste of the food. However, the taste is delicious, so there is no problem when eating a little bit of something, so if it is the first drink before the main meal, there is no problem.
There's more past drinking and outside drinking 🤣.

Unlike Koshitanrei, this one is very juicy in both aroma and taste. ❗️
It's really like a white grape!
The sweet and sour taste reminds me of wine. ❗️
This one is also nostalgic and delicious👍
I never finish drinking out of the past 🤣.

Comparison of origin drinking
When I think back, drinking at a corner bar in Arakawa-ku, Tokyo at the time of the new year and posting it was the beginning of my life as a sakeshop owner!
With such deep emotion, I will drink it for the first time in a long time!
The aroma is the same, but the taste is sweet and tasty, reminiscent of Japanese pears!
And then, the modest bitterness that follows afterwards!
Ah, this is it!
I miss the old days.
And it's still delicious: ❗️
