🍶🤓.
The alcohol feeling comes with a gusto along with the sweetness ✨.
Some acidity as you eat and drink.
Beautiful, mellow and delicious sake👍
Good! 🤗🤗
It has a nice fruity smell.
When you drink it, you can taste the rice flavor and feel that it is Japanese sake. It is sweet and juicy with a bitter taste.

A sake store in the neighborhood sells sake directly from a gyoza (dumpling) maker that for some reason sells wholesale to supermarkets and other stores.
They also carry Harushika's Risshun Asa Shibori and Koshinohomare.
They even sell Hibiki whiskey at a fixed price.
Here is what I bought.
I had it with cold sake.
When I poured it into a glass, I found microbubbles at the bottom of the glass.
The top aroma is mild, with a hint of pineapple and white peach.
The color is clear and almost colorless.
The mouthfeel is slightly viscous on the tongue.
The taste is dark and deliciously bitter with a firm mellowness. It is slightly sweet and has a strong bitter-bitter taste, which reminds one of a slightly classical taste, with a clean aftertaste. This is a rich mellow fruity classical. I don't know.
This year seems to be the 25th year for Winter Moon, and it is made entirely from satoumi rice. This is not a variety, but looks like rice grown by putting oyster shells in the rice paddies and cultivating the soil.
Ingredients: rice (domestic), rice malt (domestic)
Polishing ratio: Kake rice 50%, Koji rice 58
Alcohol Content: 16.5
Yeast: Okayama Hakuto yeast
Good evening, Mr. Nemuchi.
What an interesting looking restaurant 😁.
I looked it up and it looks like they are a member of the Meimon Sake Association 🤔.
I also tasted it and it was delicious so I bought it after a long time 😊.
bouken, good evening 🌛I have a very special type of business, selling sake in a dumpling store 🤣my refrigerator is a home sake cellar, so I only have 5-6 different brands 😅I mainly go there to buy dumplings rather than sake 🥟.
One holiday morning in December. My wife suddenly said, "Let's go to a bakery in Okayama Prefecture," and we went to Satosho Town in the western part of Okayama Prefecture.
After the bakery, we went shopping and went to a liquor store in Asakuchi City to buy some Okayama sake to take home.
The owner of the liquor store was friendly and after talking with him for a while, he recommended Winter Moon 🌙.
The first shipment of this sake came out, and I was given a chance to smell the aroma of both the Arabashiri and the regular one, and although I found the regular one more fruity, I bought the Arabashiri, which had a stronger aroma.
Polishing ratio: Koji rice 50%, Kake rice 58
Okayama Hakuto yeast
The rice is made from Okayama Prefecture's Akihikari rice, called satoumi rice, which uses oyster shells as a soil conditioner.
When we drank it, it had a freshness and chiliiness typical of nama-shu, and from there acidity, bitterness, and umami were mixed in.
It was easy to drink and went down smoothly.
I am looking forward to seeing how the flavor changes after the second day 😙.
I served it with Hokkai shimabi-ebi and koganezuke (golden pickles).
Hi soumacho 😃
I wonder what kind of bread 🍞 you are going out of your way to buy 😍I would stop by a liquor store if you go out 🤗I'm curious about Winter Moon 🌙 but haven't tasted it yet 🥲I'll buy it when I find it!
Good morning, soumacho.
I too am curious to know what kind of bread you went all the way to find: ⤴️
And I'm sure it's also great that you're not too busy with your drinking 🎵.
I'd like to try the winter moon 😊.
Thanks for your comments, Jay & Nobby 😃.
My wife is a very active person.
I also make a day trip to Yamaguchi or Shimane to buy sake 😁.
Winter Moon is easy to drink so please do👍!
Thank you for your comment, ma-ki.
My wife likes bread and sometimes we go to Kansai for a day trip.
It's fun to go to other prefectures because the sake lineup changes so much 😙.
The second day was more delicious 🍶.
.
I requested something light and sweet, and this is Winter Moon 🎯.
Of course, this is my first time to drink this brand and my third sake from Okayama 😅.
After having had a dry sake, it had a moderate sweetness on the surface that made me feel at ease 😋.
It has a strong umami flavor, but the acidity gives it a sharpness, so it wasn't too heavy.
It's that time of year again.
A beautiful sake with a good balance of peachy fruity taste, sweetness that is not too strong, and full-bodied.
The same deliciousness as every year.
I want to enjoy winter slowly and quietly with a good snack.
Purchased at a nearby liquor store.
The acidity, bitterness, and sweetness were all gentle and delicate.
It is an elegant sake with a strong core!
Very tasty!
You're good looking!
25 years of a quarter century! That's great!
The label is nice and austere!
(I had this a few years ago, I forgot...)
Satoumi rice! I'd like to report on the difference of rice used, but my stupid tongue can't detect the difference of rice..,
Good aroma!
Firm, refreshing, and delicious!
A handsome patient gave it to me.
It's sweet and easy to drink at first, but it comes off at the end!
I'm very happy with the feeling of giving it to me: ☺️
