The first bottle was a summer jungin of Bunkajin, which has nothing to do with Okinawa, and was opened

and Chuyo-style sea bream rice.
Pleasant on the tongue with chiririiri and fine gas bursts. The elegant aroma is juicy sweet and sour, reminiscent of muscatel, yellow peach, and banana. The flavor deepens as it slowly blends with the air. The aroma of full-bodied rice is accompanied by a moderate umami flavor and a nice, smooth feel on the throat.
Lunch is limited ramen on Wednesdays and Fridays.
Fist-sized meaty [glutinous pork] makes a big impact. ❗️
It's deceptive because it smells so good.
If you are lured by the aroma and drink it
the 16.5 degrees Celsius alcohol will get you.
But it goes well with food.
It is slightly effervescent and delicious.

Memorandum
The sake was so delicious that I was convinced of its taste and welcomed it in a bottle.
It is not too sweet and has a nice sharpness!
It has a clear, dry taste with a delicious umami flavor. It has a refreshing aftertaste. Slightly tangy. Easy to drink! When you don't need sweetness or fruity taste, this is delicious. I only knew Kochi as Drunken Whale and Funaka Hachisaku, so this is a new discovery!
I had only had summer junmai ginjo.
Unlike the cute pop labels of summer, this label is simple. And yet, it's dusty and comforting with a rabbit holding a boar's mouth and a tokkuri to let us know that the fall sake is ready to be served.
At home drinking.
I learned to drink sake with Corona and liked it in its early days.
It is still quite tasty and to my liking!
Today I had it with skipjack carpaccio.
I forgot what I had yesterday.
I'm going to drink the rest of the sake.
The aroma is like muscat, and when you drink it, the sweetness and umami come over you. It has a slightly tangy and fizzy taste, and finishes with a slight bitterness. Delicious...✨I guess it's sweet-umami after a summer. It's darker than the usual Bunkajin 😋.
