Two cups were gone in no time and momentum was gained. Time is running out, but I need one more. I asked for a recommendation for heated sake, and was told it was Hiokizakura. I asked for a recommendation for a heated sake, and was told it was a joint project between four breweries in the San'in region. The label was quaint. The sake bottle and sake cup were beautifully matched. The taste is well-balanced and delicious. It sinks in slowly. Now that everything is ready, I'm going home.

This is "Benten Stand" in Niigata.
I can't help but read the comments on the tag 😆.
And the choice by name 🫵.
It has a light amber color.
It has a rough mouthfeel that is typical of a rough sake, the type with a strong sweetness from the rice 🌾.
It has a wild finish with a strong ginjo aroma that comes through to the nose and a cooing sound.
I don't think this one sleeps with the giggles 😆.
Maybe Yama Sleepless would have been more appropriate 🌋.
We took a break around here and went to the hotel. I definitely don't want to attend tomorrow's event hungover 🥹.
It is a hardy sake that fully brings out the color, taste and flavor of the rice. I tried it first cold and then switched to heated, both of which were good and flavorful.
