This sake has a Junmai Dai-"Gin"-sai sake with a hint of ori. The ginjo aroma is moderate. In the mouth, there is a gentle sweetness of rice. It is a good sake to drink with food, as it retains a good outline.
It's almost past summer (still hot)... and a new sake has mysteriously appeared (aged in the back of the fridge) 😓.
So we're going to have an unseasonal Japanese winter 🍶.
but only 1/3 of it is left lol!
First of all, the retro Showa-era label design is eye-catching!
It's so heartwarming and relaxing. ☺️
They change the design every year.
By the way, there is also Japanese summer ☀️
Well, I think I opened the bottle before the summer....
My head doesn't remember anything about that time in my memory 🫏🦌.
Anyway, let's smell it... hmmm, at least there is still a slight fresh aroma!
The taste... it's not as fresh as new sake, but it's still good...
While it has some umami, the aftertaste is rather dry and sharp 🍶.
A little heavy?
Today's lesson: "Drink the sake as soon as you open the bottle."
The sake has a perfect harmony of moderate spiciness, umami, and refreshing acidity, and it has a nice crisp taste, making it the perfect sake for hot summer days.
Sake rice is Yamae-Nishiki produced in Shigetai, Nagano Prefecture, with a rice polishing ratio of 55% and Kumamoto yeast.
We had it well chilled ✨
I thought I had had this sake at least once in the past, but surprisingly this was the first time I had had it 👍It feels like the perfect sake for this word, which indicates a clear and quiet state of mind and refers to still, cloudless water 😆.
It is refreshing and has a nice bitter taste that lingers on the tongue afterwards 🤤.
I paired it with an appetizer that seems to have a strong habit.
Raw whale sashimi with garlic and soy sauce. The raw taste and whale flavor is addictive 🐳.

We are staying in the mountain going to Tateshina from Saku.
I went to Shimizuya, 30 minutes to the town!
Stylish and cool store 😃.
Since it was after the Obon vacation, some of the sake I was looking for were sold out, but they had a quantity of Meikyojo-Tomizui Himuro Special, so I opened a bottle at the inn right away.
It was a delicious sake with just the right amount of maturity and freshness 😊.
@Mizuhashi Good evening ^ ^
The other day I was returning to Shizuoka from Ueda via Komi and passed the main store. I didn't stop by because I had already bought a lot of sake, but when I looked it up later, it seems to be a famous store 🧐.
I regret it a little...
Hello @Mizuhashi 🐦.
I'm glad you were able to visit the liquor store and had a lot of empties with you guys at the inn 😆.
It's nice to be able to drink something you're not used to seeing when you're there 🐨.
Good evening, Pon-chan 🌆.
I went to buy sake only for myself from the inn. The rice fields around here are beautifully tended. The underground water is also delicious and I thought there is a reason why the sake is so good. Tsuchiya Sake Brewery will be my next stop 😊.
