(Probably) the last sake of the year 🍶.
Fine fizziness and mild mouthfeel
But with a clean aftertaste!
The secret to the deliciousness is the coarse orikura that lingers after the cup is drunk. ❄️
Who hasn't had a drink at Eiko Fuji?
Season of Origami: ❄️
It is sweet and tasty with a crispy taste on the lees!
How much more can we drink before the end of the year?
It has been a long time since I got this type of sake. Thanks to Takasakiya Shoten in Todai-mae!
It is a limited edition sake, Dewanosato 2025, from Yamagata Prefecture.
Slightly effervescent and sweet like a melon, with a strong bitterness and a strong umami. 16.8 degrees Celsius, so it's solid. I think I can also taste the acidity.
I haven't really looked into it, but in my opinion, it is representative of the sake of the day. Nice aggressiveness. And it's great that it doesn't go in the wrong direction. By the way, I think the mistake is to use a low-alcohol, sweet drink.
Postscript.
After that,
Fruit Roll Cake
Chicken ramen
Senbikiya's grapefruit jelly
sweet potato
but it goes well with all of them.
Versatile sake.
If I see it at a liquor store, I will definitely buy it next time.
I recorded it as a reminder to my future self.
It lived up to the previous reputation.
Slightly thick on the palate.
The aroma is gorgeous.
The taste is typical of Gohyakumangoku and has excellent sharpness.
There is a slight feeling of gas.
I take my hat off to it.
Today's entrée
Potato salad
Shoronpo (soup dumpling)
Sushi
Crab cream pasta
As you can see, the lineup is abundant, but it is unbeatable because it meets with everything.
It's also very pocket-friendly and could not be better.
The recent crop was also top rated, but this one is also good.
I'm glad I found a good one: ☺️
If there is a next one, I will definitely buy it.
Absolutely.

Eikofuji GMF24 LEGEND OF THE CRYSTAL Junmai Daiginjo Unfiltered Nama Sake
Rating 4.5
Alcohol: 16.2%, Sake meter: -9.0, Acidity: 1.8, Rice: Dewasanbara, Polishing ratio: 24
Gorgeous and noble ginjo aroma reminiscent of fine fruits, elegant and smooth sweetness with no cloying taste only possible with ultra-high refining. Tropical fruit juice. Fresh.
The aroma is slightly acidic, pineapple-like.
The taste is also gaseous, followed by sourness and astringency, and then sweetness.
It is delicious, but this year, the alcohol taste was a bit strong. I think it was a bit strong this year.
