7/10
A product commemorating the 200th anniversary of Nakashimaya's founding.
It is called Futamomochi.
It is made from "Mame-no-en Omachi," which is often heard of these days.
The impression is that it has just the right amount of flavor and just the right amount of aroma.
The taste is rather dry, and you can savor it in your mouth while slowly drinking it down your throat.
The slight sweetness is a nice accent.
Petit Petit Kotobuki Junmai Ginjo Orikigarami Nama
The creaminess of the ori (rice powder) spreads in the mouth, but the aftertaste is sharp with weak acidity.
I wonder if it's because the bottle had been open for a while.
Purchased at a liquor store anytime.
Not a complete jacket purchase, but a label purchase lol.
Sweet from the green apple-like aroma.
Refreshingly sweet rather than juicy.
There is a slight effervescence, and you can feel a light petitiveness from the moment you put it in your mouth.
This is probably the first time I've tasted this brand.
The bubbles increase as you pour and let it sit for a bit.
Alcohol level 16%.
Rice polishing ratio: 50% for koji rice, 55% for kake rice

This is the second time in two years at Nakashimaya!
I asked Mr. O to let me open two bottles of freshly arrived sake!

A summer-only junmai ginjo from Nakashimaya in Yamaguchi Prefecture.
This is the first time I have had Nakashimaya's sake,
I was very impressed by the acidity of Nakashimaya's sake. I loved the acidity of Tatenokawa's sake, but it was just as good. I would like to try many other sake from this brewery. I highly recommend it to anyone who likes acidity.
Today we had Hakata sesame mackerel style sashimi with various kinds of pickled vegetables and dashimaki with chives (both made by the brewer himself 😉 ) and petit kaisendon, the best marriage 😋.
At a sushi restaurant in Sannomiya, I met up with some people I have not seen for a long time.
Among the various sakes we had, this one was a personal hit. It is very easy to drink and beautiful.
It's not often seen in Tokyo, but if I find it, I'll buy it immediately.
