Tomorrow is a day off, so I will have a relaxing evening drink with my wife. The aftertaste is refreshing and easy to drink! I found a Junmai Daiginjo in my sake bag.

☆☆☆☆ The same Asahi Shuzo lineup as Kubota. It ranks right in the middle of Koshu. It was sold refrigerated, but the alcohol was too heavy for me, so I thought it would be better served warm.

A clean drink that tastes round when you drink it, but quickly becomes crisp and clean. Thin chocolate

Memo (from the website) As the pinnacle of the Koshu series, it has a depth that is befitting of the pinnacle of the Koshu series, and its many layers of flavoring reveal various expressions on the palate. The layers of flavors show various expressions on the palate, and it has a light, harmonious finish. Shipping is limited to April and October. Made from 100% "Chijuraku" rice grown in Niigata Prefecture. Rice(Polishing ratio) Koji rice / Kake rice Senshugaku 40% / Senshugaku 40% Alcohol content 14%. Sake meter value +2.0 Acidity 1.1 Suggested retail price (excluding tax) 1,800ml 8,110 yen 720ml: 3,640 yen memo It has the feel of Japanese sake but is easy to drink. I would like to drink it with good snacks at an Izakaya. It is not so sweet, but it is slightly sweet because of the sweetness of the rice. My wife says it is rich in flavor. She says it means well. I must drink it today, because it may become more like Japanese sake as the day goes on. Well, good-bye.

The aroma is slightly intense. It's full-bodied and mellow. It has a slightly bitter taste. You may like it when it is warmed up. It makes you want to drink Hirezake.

It's quite refreshing on the palate and looks like water. But on the other hand, it doesn't have much of a scent... I didn't like it much...?

Our last visit to Chigusa Sushi in Kamiosaki on August 22, 2020, when we were told it will be on closing August 31st, after over 65 years. Master died last year, and his wife and brother-in-law too old to continue. Neighborhood Edomae sushi at its finest, with some of the best tuna ever, owing to its long-time Tsukiji connections. Will be missed.
