The day before yesterday, I drank sake at an oyster-majority izakaya in Shinbashi.
The shoulder label has a crescent moon 🌙 front of Date Masamune's helmet.
I like oysters, but I rarely have a chance to eat raw oysters.
This special junmai from Senkachi Masamune was light with a subtle sweetness and acidity.
I drank a variety of other sake, but Hiroshima's "Houken" was the best match for oysters.
Good evening, Haruei Chichi 🌆.
The label was cool, like the Date family👍.
The oysters were delicious and it was a valuable experience to enjoy the different varieties and brands.
It is an important ingredient that cannot be missed when enjoying sake.
Next Pairing: Sengen Masamune
Since we had it here two years ago.
I've been curious about it since it was poured by a customer over there.
It's lightly cloudy with a hint of orikara.
It tastes fresh and delicious!
The season of new sake
Nigori-style sake is also delicious!
When I asked for the seafood bean-curd soup, they served it with some taci as well!
Thank you 😊

This is my first time at this brewery. I would like to know how many sake named Masamune there are.
It is delicious with a strong sake flavor.
The label looks like a dairy.
Sake is the main attraction 🍶.
At the second restaurant of my farewell party.
It was my first time to drink this brand, so I recorded it for now.
I don't remember the taste😅.
I also had some Sengoku Omachi and something else,
The waiter was totally clueless about alcohol.
I only remember 😅.
Also, there were a lot of empty bottles of rare sake like Jikin, Jyushidai, Hanayo
but there's nothing on the menu 😅.
but there is nothing on the menu at all😅What about the off-menu drinks?
😅I asked them if they have any off-menu sake. I asked them if they had any off-menu drinks, but they said they didn't...
It's a little disappointing 😢.
Hi Choroki 😃
I know there are a lot of izakaya that only display empty bottles but don't have the basics 🤣.
I don't know about liquor stores that display empty bottles of rare sake that they don't intend to sell 🤣It's fine if they display all the bottles they carry.
Junmai Ginjo-shu ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Polishing ratio 55%, ALC 16%.
This is the second sake of the day.
It has a subtle ginjo aroma and a slight sourness on the palate, giving it a sharp, crisp, slightly dry taste.

It is a gift. Is the label out of standard? The helmet of Date Masamune pops out. The aroma is moderate, the mouthfeel is pleasant and easy to drink, and the aftertaste is elegant with a hint of spiciness. The cork can be opened by pulling it open. It is a wine-like bottle.
