Memorandum of Reminder 🙏.
Drinking party in Yokogawa. We had a little drink at "Chobitto" at the end of the meeting.
This time we had "Spherical (spherical polished rice)" which is good for warming up. Next time I would like to compare it with "Flat (flat polished rice)" 🤗.
2018BY. almost brown in color. At room temperature, it is very scruffy and has a strong sharpness.
Warming up to 50-55℃ seems to be a good balance between the thick-bonedness typical of Taketsuru and the sharpness with acidity. There is a burnt aftertaste, but the sense of maturity is moderate for a BY.
2019BY in warm water. It is hard to tell, but the color is yellowish. It has a firm umami and sharpness, including a mellow ripeness typical of long-aged Taketsuru.
Today in Osaka City, the daytime temperature is 28 degrees Celsius.
I already had two drinks and feel good.
Oops! Hiroshima sake!
I strolled over to the front of the tent and offered him a glass.
"Aah!
Yes, it was...
This was heated sake...
Not in the shade. Direct sunlight.
It's served under the sun. It's double hot.
First of all, the aroma is heavy. But when you put it in your mouth, you will feel refreshed. It's mysterious!
I know it's an exaggeration, but it refreshes your mouth like mint.
I had it with Agu pork croquettes.
The sake just washes it all down.
This was only the second time in my life I've had heated sake~!
It was hot and hot!
We're going to win for sure...Carp!
Hi Pekkar 😃.
It was hot ☀️ yesterday at noon in the sunshine 😆 something ugh 😁 I thought the heavy aroma would KO me but it was a counter 🥊 and a clear win 😋 for the second time in my life! Nice hot sake👍
Good evening, Jay & Nobby!
It was surprisingly hot yesterday.
I felt sorry for the heated sake store!
This was the second time heated sake in the future that I will remember, lol.
It seems to be raw for the first of the year.
Is it raw and aged? It's pretty mature; it's 24 years old, but it's fast.
Sour and bitter, but not so sweet? But is it balanced?
The alcohol is also quite strong.

crane (any bird of the family Gruidae, esp. the red-crowned crane, Grus japonensis)
While known as the only all pure rice brewery in Hiroshima Prefecture, it is also famous as the birthplace of Nikka Whiskey's founder, Masataka Taketsuru.
The origin of the name "Taketsuru" dates back to before 1600, when the Battle of Sekigahara took place. When the head of the brewery saw cranes nesting in the bamboo thicket behind the brewery, he rejoiced and changed his family name to "Chikutsuru" (meaning "crane in a pine tree").
It is quite high, though, at 19% alcohol by volume,
But once you start drinking it, you'll find yourself drinking more and more!
The acidity is very effective, and the flavor spreads very well when it is heated up.
It is best when paired with hot pot.
