It was getting close to the time for the restaurant we had reserved 🍶 so we went to the second restaurant 🍶.
We met up with the other members and it was time to get down to business😃.
The first bottle at the second restaurant was Kozaemon's Sushi Label 🍣.
Polishing ratio 65
15% alcohol by volume

It has been quite a while since I have had a sake from Gifu.
It has a delicious rice flavor and acidity.
It also has a nice sharpness.
I had it with sashimi and sushi and it went well with them as the label says 🍣.
Can't stop drinking sake with fish ✨.
Good evening, soumacho 😃.
Good to meet you and your juniors for a drink!
Definitely one that goes well with seafood 👍It really is a golden combination with sake 🤩.
Are all of your juniors sake drinkers?
Good evening, Jay & Nobby 😃.
The golden duo was too good, and as a result, I drank too much that day and died the next day 🤢.
Two of my juniors are dragging me into the sake swamp 😋👍.

Slightly carbonated bubbles attach to the vessel.
Not dry, this sake is gorgeous and easy to drink.
It is my personal favorite.
Brewer's comment: "Sake made with locally grown rice. An unfiltered, unpasteurized, jicagumi sake. It has a strong aroma and flavor, with a pleasant, chili-like, slightly carbonated aroma and flavor rich for a daiginjo, so it goes well with dishes with strong flavors, such as fried chicken, chili shrimp, and nameko mushrooms."
Refreshing citrus aroma!
Smooth on the palate,
The umami is assertive and robust.
The fruity sweetness is in full bloom. It is a sake that can be drunk on its own, so we will enjoy it on a GW evening.
Sake after a long time ✨
I didn't know there was such a nice place in the station closest to my office...!
This is the first time I've had this sake.
I've never had this sake before, but it was so smooth and easy to drink.
It went quickly.
It has a clean aftertaste that doesn't linger in the mouth.
I like it.

It is slightly cloudy because it is orikara-mi.
Since it is also a nama-shu, I thought it might have a gaseous taste, but I did not feel it. I thought it might be gassy, but I did not feel it.
It is a dry sake with just a hint of sweetness, acidity and bitterness.
Purchased by the bottle at a local liquor store. It is a Junmai Daiginjo made from 100% Asahi no Yume, 50% polished rice. I had it cold.
The aroma of tropical fruits is not unlike the fruity sweetness of a pineapple on the palate. The bitterness follows at the end. This time, we served it with grilled eringi mushrooms and grilled horse mackerel using Aburiya 2, but we prefer it as an aperitif or after-dinner drink to enjoy its sweetness. I prefer to enjoy it as an aperitif or after-dinner drink.
