This time it is Rumiko's special junmai aged sake H29BY.
This sake is made with Ise-Nishiki and No. 9 yeast.
Ise-Nishiki is the oldest remaining sake rice, and is said to have a lineage that extends all the way back to Yamada-Nishiki.
First at room temperature.
Sake with a soft yellowish color.
In the aging process, it has a soft sweet and savory aroma with an earthy flavor.
Am I the only one who can sense the abundant harvest of rice just from the aroma?
From a very mellow mouthfeel, the sweet and savory flavor of gently roasted rice flows smoothly. The latter half of the taste is broken by acidity and bitterness, leaving a light aftertaste of sweetness from the rice.
And when served warmed,
The comforting sensation of gently unraveling with the soft and fluffy rice broth feeling. Happiness 😊.
I met Rumiko at an event and was impressed by her powerful and agile hospitality!
I will never forget the way she spoke passionately about sake and sake rice.
I will never forget how passionately she talked about sake and sake rice.
Good evening Peco-san 🍶.
Rumiko heated up the sake for me at last year's sake go-around 😊.
There was an old guy next to me who follows Rumiko-san and he told me that he goes to see (drink?) Rumiko-san whenever there is an event 😆. He told me that he goes there whenever there is an event 😆.
Good evening, Matsuchiyo-san. Rumiko's heated sake is delicious, and her flexibility in responding to customers' requests is wonderful. I wish I had gotten his autograph on my bottle too.
Good evening, Hirupeko 😃.
When I see these drunken encounters, I realize that sake is brewed by people ☺️ I would love to meet the powerful Rumiko 😊.
I saw you on instagram as well and you seemed to be having a great time😄.
Hi Aladdin-san. Like Rumiko, it tastes even better when you can hear directly from the brewery about the love they put into making the sake💕The event is a lot of work, but also worthwhile 😊.
Hi Peco 🐦.
Thank you for the event 😊I can see that you had a great time despite the hard work 😆🎶I'm sure your view of the brewery's sake will change if you hear about it in person! I'd love to meet him😻
Good evening, Pon-chan. I would like to invite you to meet Rumiko-san, and I would like you to meet sakekasu and shio koji, which are also very delicious! I am so thankful for the special opportunities that I have been given 😊.
The spiciness is felt from the moment it enters the mouth to the moment it goes down the throat.
It has a strong flavor, but it is not heavy, so it is easy to drink.
A light drink that can be served as an aperitif or with appetizers. I wondered where I had seen the design before, but it was donated by the author of Natsuko's Sake.
Rie's sake, not Rumiko's. Was that the toji's name?
First visit to Umi and I had been curious about it. Nice place.
The waitresses are a bit flirtatious. I wish they would flirt a little nicer.
Continuing from last week, I went on a business trip to Towada 🚙 to my latest favorite restaurant 🍶😁😁.
I asked the owner to warm up the sake and he recommended this one: 💁♂️
So here it is. The nose is pleasantly alcoholic and tickles the nostrils. The first thing you notice in the mouth is the acidity, which is followed by a nice sweetness that spreads slowly. It is perfect for a slightly chilly night like today, which reminds me of autumn 👍
Next, I served it with grilled sardines with koji. The fat of the sardine and koji go well with this sake. It makes the sake go down well. ☺️ But that's all for today since I have to work tomorrow 🙅I'll come back tomorrow (lol) 🚶.

The last tasting at Yamanaka Sake Shop was Moriki Sake Brewery's Rumiko no. 6 yeast special junmai sake.
First, the aroma. The aroma is not so strong.
In the mouth, it has a soft taste that flows smoothly.
There is not much sweetness, but there is a hint of sweetness.
The bitter taste and sharp pungency spread slowly.
It is smooth and tasty from start to finish.
We had a great time at our first visit to Yamanaka Sake Shop, enjoying the room with the inventory and the tasting 😊.
The taste is impactful. Certainly the acidity and sweetness are powerful. Delicious.
Here is the explanation.
This sake is made from Yamadanishiki and Ise-Nishiki rice produced in Mie Prefecture, and Association No. 9 yeast.
In the mouth, it has a big, strong aroma with a firm acidity, and a voluminous flavor with freshly squeezed, powerful notes that seem to wash away everything in the mouth. It is a sake full of life.
The acidity and sweetness rush in with great force and breadth. It is a powerful sake that is typical of arabashiri.
It is a sake with an overwhelming presence that is completely different from fruity or watery sake.
It is not sake made by a toji (master brewer), but sake made by the brewer himself, with a strong personality and a sense of assertion by the brewer.
Sppin" is sake without makeup.
It is bottled as it is, unfiltered, carbon-free, additive-free, and unpasteurized. Junmai Arabashiri is bottled as it is pressed without any modification.
