It's a relaxing weekend at the hot springs. ♨️
Let's enjoy dinner and drinks at a local restaurant in the town!
Apparently, they are famous for a dish called Uzuwa, which is made from Soda bonito!
And when the waiter sears the seared mackerel for you on the spot, sake is the only way to go!
I ordered a sake that reads "katana" (Japanese sword), but unfortunately it was sold out a little while ago!
Then I selected this junmai ginjo sake!
The bottle was marked 150ml, but they poured it quite a bit!
Wow, it's delicious!
It has a fruity sweetness, but it seems to be a dry sake.
Local fresh fish 🐟🦑 and delicious sake 🇯🇵
A fun time with my wife 😀!
By the way, I had a bottle of Garyubai Junmai Ginjo Ukiyoe label at an izakaya owned by a customer's friend in Kushiro a long time ago!

I went on a short trip to Shizuoka. I wanted to try a sake from Shizuoka that I had never had before, so I bought Garyubai, which I purchased after researching its reputation beforehand🍶.
The sake had a good online reputation, plus it was awarded [1st place] in the Junmai Sake category [1st place] and [Special Jury Award] at Kura Master 2019.
I was surprised by the different peculiarities of this sake, which is not typical of Shizuoka sake. Maybe it was due to too high expectations and preconceptions, but it was not my favorite sake 🥲.
<Details
Slightly yellowish body. On the label, it doesn't seem to be an autumn-aged sake, but the taste also reminds me of an aged sake, with a peculiar aroma and taste, like a mixture of Shaoxing wine. It was different from the image of a fresh and refreshing sake, which is the image in Shizuoka and the image I was told by the liquor store.
The taste was not bad, and it did not have a bad aftertaste, so it did not seem to be a problem with the sake's production or storage.
The last of the Garyubai 2024 Hanpukai is here!
As the name "Sou" implies, it has a freshness like green apples.
and then the richness of the bag.
Refreshing yet rich!

Refreshing aroma of apple and muscat. Not too sweet and goes well with food.

The aroma of the poured wine makes you smile
The sweetness and umami that spreads on the tongue
The richness of the lingering aftertaste continues for a long time.
It is easy to drink despite its richness.
