It had been a while since I had had a local sake, so I had a Shonan Junmai Ginjo from Kumazawa Shuzo in Kagawa! It was delicious and the cup went on and on lol. As is typical of Junmai Ginjo, the flavor of the rice combined with a refreshing taste was exquisite. I'm so happy to see the Eboshi-iwa on the cap ☺️.
Local freshly squeezed raw sake ✌️.
I found this at a nearby liquor store, so I tried it.
It has a fruity aroma 😌 It's a nama-gara-shu, so it's got a strong flavor and alcohol taste, but it's dry and you can drink it all the time! I think it's good on the rocks too 🤔 it was a very tasty sake 😋
Tasting the sake that I received as a parting gift when I was transferred.
The sake is from Shonan, the hometown of the person who gave it to me.
It has the fruitiness of apples and bananas that only a ginjo can provide, but it is not overly flashy and has an elegant sweetness in the mouth.
It has a smooth balance with a gentle sourness and a mild bitterness.

This sake was also given to us by a fellow fighter's fan in Chigasaki.
It's a sake that can be enjoyed cold or warmed, and can stand up to a greasy meal. Rice!
What's the name of the sake? I thought, "Shonan! Shonan! Shonan can be named: !!!!
I'm not sure if I'd be offended if I said it was a nod to the history or culture of the area, but I think you have to like it to use it, so I hope they continue to make great sake for those who think of Shonan! I hope you continue to make good sake for people who care about Shonan😍.
