After seeing Marugame Castle in the evening glow, we enjoyed recommended local sake with local fish from Shiokaku.

Exhausted from walking so much, your body is sinking...
I thought I had had a rice from Kagawa prefecture called ◯Ide Rice, so I asked for it (or maybe it was just my imagination).
I drank it after Mutsu Hachisen, so it lacked fruity flavor, but it tasted delicious when heated.

Yushin Namaishu Junmai Ginjo No. 9 Yeast
We are back to drinking at home.
Purchased on a trip during Obon.
I jumped on a label I'd never seen before and neglected to check the date, and found out that it was February 💦.
I drank it cold.
Not much Uitatekoso, but there is a slight graininess, with a hint of alkaloa. No mature-like aroma.
The mouthfeel flows smoothly on the tongue, and the taste is full and full of rice flavor with a sense of maturity.
The aroma that passes through the nose is a little matured, so it has matured a bit.
But it just has an autumn-aged look to it 🤣.
As the label on the back of the bottle says it is slightly dry, there is a bit of spiciness at the end, but I don't mind it too much because the umami is very strong.
The high alcohol content makes it easy to drink, but it comes back with a thud later.
I would like to try a freshly brewed sake once.

Good evening, Nemuchi!
I'm sure you've worked hard and are back to drinking at home soon 🤗It's great that you're going for the heavy-duty style from the very beginning 👍.
Good evening, bouken-san 🌛 As one would expect from a legend who knows all the liquor stores in the Kansai region! Thank you very much 🙇I've never been to Jutoku-san, so I'd like to go there when Yushin's Nama Sake is available 😉.
Jay & Nobby, good evening 🌛After a while of abstaining from drinking at home, my numbers have come down a lot 😊that has put a lot of pressure on the fridge, so I'm resuming my consumption activities 😁It's my first time to be brave, so I realized that I had to drink and then I had to drink 🤣.
The third souvenir from the Kagawa expedition?
I heard that it is sake brewed with rare sake rice from Kagawa prefecture, "Oidemai".
I'm looking forward to it!
It's a very robust sake.
It is a good sake that makes you feel that you have drunk sake rather than sweet or spicy!
