Here is the main shabu shabu 😆.
I was very impressed with the "hinabeji," a shabu shabu shabu pot using charcoal that has been available only at the Ginza branch since the establishment of the restaurant.
Binchotan charcoal is placed in a hole in the middle of the pot to heat the pot and keep the water around it boiling, creating steam in the room 😳😳.
The accompanying Jungin of Shimehari Tsuru was also a nice richness and matched the flavor of the meat 😁.
It matched the flavor of the meat 😁😁😁.

Aftertaste: gentle sweetness, refreshing
Impression: Light and dry with a hint of banana
I often encounter this wine, but I was surprised that I had never had it before.
The aroma is rather strong. It is banana-like.
In contrast, the taste is crisp, light, and dry.
It tastes like a classic Niigata sake, and I like it a lot.
I paired it with soba (buckwheat noodles), and the fruity flavor gently appeared on the palate. It is very good as a food sake.
Repeat Score 2.5
Today I had a gift from a friend 🍶🤤.
I've had it at the store but this is the first time I've had a bottle 🤗.
When it's a highly refined (aluzo-sweetened) daiginjo, it's bound to be umma-umma 🥳.
The balance between the sharpness and the slight rice flavor is better when the temperature is a little higher than when it is cold 🤤.
It was very tasty!
