The most beautiful Koshi I have ever had!
Conversely, the fruitiness is a bit subdued and cider-like, which is good!
The pizzazz and vigor are the same as usual, and it's easy to drink!
I thought it was rare, but it seems to be quite rare.

We finished up at the Asano Sake Shop with a 3 dry sake comparison.
I enjoyed the Kouji Dai-harakuchi cold sake I had before, so I went for this one 😋.
The cold grated one had a nice sweetness to it 😀.
The customer next to me ordered 2 sets of 3 different dry and tasty sake, and I asked him what he recommended for dry sake.
Last week, I went to a new sake festival at a brewery in the town of Sakai. I drank four kinds of sake, but the shizuku sake was the best. I will remember to buy the tickets next year because they are inexpensive and come with an oinoguchi (cup). There were two types of limited edition sake, but I chose the junmai ginjo.
The color was light amber. The aroma is of rice. When you take a sip, it has a slight chili sensation, and the rich, sweet taste has a big impact. The taste was similar to that of Daishinshu. I live in Chiba, so I will try other brands.
This sake was only available this time because the toji (master brewer) was able to revive the mash that was in trouble and ship it.
It was a very sweet sake.
We were served with sake pairings at Kinonene CAMP, a sake brewery glamping facility.
The final dish was with beef shabu-shabu!
As the name suggests, it is floral, fresh, and has a clear aftertaste,
Me-ta-ma-ma!
We finished the course with rice, miso soup, and a sweet treat. I was very satisfied!

We are very happy to have this new rice and new sake Honjozo Nama-no-Harazake at a reasonable price of 1,540 yen.
It is fresh, but not rough and well-balanced 😋.
The third picture is the one I brought with me yesterday after putting some refrigerant in a cooler box to replenish my stock at home. The ones we were looking for, Toku Junsei, New Moon and Hirotogawa Nigori, were sold out 😭.
But some of them made it just in time and we had more to look forward to 🥰.
I went home and put them in the fridge so my wife wouldn't find them 😅.
The fridge is already waiting for an empty seat 🥲.
Fridge problem is tough this month 🤔
