(Past record)
It was in a local sake set that I bought in Niigata a few years ago.
It has been a long time since I bought it, but I enjoyed it.
I had just bought some Echizen crabs in Fukui, so I made the last sake with them, which was very tasty, although it had a bit of an alcoholic tang to it. The crab itself was also very tasty, as one would expect from a crab with a tag.
It is good to eat up the crabmeat, and to sear the crab with a little of the miso still on the shell, so that the water drains off.
I'm talking about the crab, not the brand.
Transparent in color
Fruity sweetness with a clear, clean taste.
There is a slight acidity and umami flavor.
Because it is a pure sake, it has a strong sense of alcohol when swallowed.
Fruity and yet refreshing.
This is my favorite so far!

This is a fresh new winter-only sake from Kirinzan Brewery.
The aroma is reminiscent of fresh melon and the flavor is juicy.
Slightly sweet and delicious ♡.

Rice: Gohyakumangoku (100% locally grown in Oku-Agamachi)
Rice polishing ratio 55

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👍.
Kirinzan Potari Potari Gohyakumangoku
Junmai Ginjyo Nama-genshu
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.
