Contrary to (?) appearances.
Spicier than expected!
Spicy? Did I eat something spicy?
It's still a little spicy...!
Not too fruity either!
Not too spicy like sake, beautiful but spicy!
[It's time to shift to Kyoto sake at Gion Kitazato.
Here is what I ordered 🍶.
Shotoku Special Junmai Unfiltered Nama Sake
The aroma of the sake has a full-bodied aroma of rice with a hint of alcohol behind it, and the mouthfeel has a firm sweetness with a hint of astringency behind it.
The entrée is assorted sashimi (😋).
I bought a bottle of "Shotoku Winter Sake Activated Nigori" which was released today and is only available in winter.
Similar to Kita-Akita, this nigori sake has a shriveled appearance due to the fermentation (activation) of the yeast in the bottle.
Be careful when opening the bottle, as it will overflow.
It is quite dry, and has a full flavor that goes into the nose, which is characteristic of nigori sake.
Just one glass will make your throat hot.
Personally, I prefer to drink it slowly and savor it, rather than to drink it in a gung-ho manner.
Sake I got last night 🍶.
Shotoku Winter Sake - Shiboritate
Shotoku Shuzo (Kyoto)
I attended a sake event at a shopping street in Fushimi
Sake event held in Fushimi shopping street
There was a stall at the event, which was owned
Matsuhiro, a Japanese restaurant in Kyoto
with the delicious food.

The most delicious sake we had at the event!
We got a new bottle of sake "just bottled yesterday (Friday)"....
The aroma of freshly squeezed sake!
The freshness of new sake
Just the right amount of dryness
I can't get enough of it!
In the intense heat of summer
Not only the rice we eat
but also sake rice is low in quantity
Because the rice is hard
and the ratio of sakekasu (sake lees) is high.
I have heard about the hardships of sake brewers.
I am so thankful to have such a delicious new sake
I was so thankful to be offered such a delicious new sake
I had it with tears in my eyes, feeling the gratitude for having such a delicious new sake.
Souvenirs bought in Kyoto.
I'm a beginner who has a weakness for limited editions, and I got a taste of it in the basement of Isetan. It's not what I wanted, but what do you think?
I went home, chilled it and had a glass of wine at home.
Wow, it's delicious!
It will be gone soon.
Hi naoma, ☀️
I also bought this sake at Kyoto station this spring. I remember that it was very smooth and tasty 😅I am weak to the word "limited edition" as well 😋.
