Seven spears the other day.
Shichibonjari is my favorite brand.
I found one for sale in October 2024 at Kakuyasu.
The sake rice is 100% Shiga Prefecture-grown Tamakabane.
I had never heard of Tamakabane, but I was told that it is often used to make sake with a unique richness, with the disadvantage that it is not suitable for highly refined ginjo sake.
Yes, when you put it that way, it may be full-bodied. But it's pretty refreshing and doesn't seem to interfere with food.
When I drank it, I was shocked that it was as good as or better than "Sanuki Kuraudai"!
If you like whiskey as well, you should definitely try it!
It's hard to explain to people who only drink sake, so please drink it!
Even if you don't usually drink alcohol, please drink it!
Anyway, please try it!
You won't regret it!
I've never had sherry before, so I don't know, but at least it has a very distilled aroma and taste, with a sake-like umami sweetness afterwards!
It's not very strong, but I think it would be good on the rocks.
I think it's better to drink it as an oddity.
Refreshing aroma. The palate is smooth and refreshing, straight down the throat, and coolness is conveyed.
It is just like a stab to a single point of concentration.

The second glass was a shichibonsyari from the umami column.
This one is sweeter, deeper and a bit gassier than the previous one.
This one is also easy to drink and delicious 😊.
It is a versatile sake that can be enjoyed at a wide range of temperatures, whether cold or at room temperature, with a strong flavor and a good balance of acidity.
