Home drinking.
Today is Tuesday, only lunch from work break.
Today's drink is my favorite Eikofuji's first orikara.
When I open the cork, the sweet aroma of Ori sweet sake spreads.
The accompaniments are tuna, grilled chicken, and simmered vegetables.
When you take it directly to your mouth, you first feel the sweetness, which is cut off by spiciness and acidity.
The sweetness changes with the tuna, the spiciness with the yakitori, and the sweetness with the simmered dish, depending on the ingredients.
It is a delicious drink.

Rating 4.4-4.5
Alcohol: 16.8%, Sake meter: -1, Acidity: 1.3, Rice: Hachitan-Nishiki, Polishing ratio: 50
This special limited edition sake is named after the atomic number "79," which is the atomic number of gold, and the elemental symbol "Au," and is filled with 20 times more gold leaf than usual! Junmai Daiginjo-shu made from Hachitan-Nishiki, Hiroshima Prefecture's preferred rice for sake brewing, polished to 50%, and brewed with Yamagata yeast, a specialty of the brewery! The concept was to make a junmai daiginjo-shu that is easy to pair with food, with a mild ginjo aroma and a refreshing aftertaste.
Hachitan-Nishiki, very light and refreshing for this brewer. For gold leaf. For a citrusy taste.

Eikofuji ZEBRA Junmai Daiginjo Unfiltered Nama-shu ~Black or White
Rating 4.5
Alcohol level: 16.6%, Sake meter: -5, Acidity: 1.7, Rice: Gohyakumangoku, Polishing ratio: 50
Polishing rice up to 50% Gohyakumangoku, the ginjo aroma is both gorgeous and elegant. Strawberry- and lychee-like aroma.
Clear, transparent mouthfeel with a balance between the umami of the rice and the sharpness of the aftertaste. Bitter aftertaste.
