Tour of Antenna Shops - Here in Shiga
Second on the left
The name of this wine is "soft acidity, umami, softness and transparency like Kyoho grapes.
It has just the right amount of acidity, sweetness, umami, and bitterness without being too rich.
Here is a comment from the lady at the restaurant who poured the sake for us.
I drink Tawawa every year, and this year is the best!"
Is that so? My expectations are raised.
The aroma is mild.
When you take a sip, the sweetness of the fruit spreads out.
The rest of the wine is firm and tight. I got the impression that it was more dry and crisp.
Thank you very much, Ms. Kohl. I was very interested in this wine, so I would like to have it again next year!

In mid-August, in the scorching heat of the summer, I was attracted by the flying name "Aki-agari" and bought it at Seijo-Ishii.
Wow, what a wild taste! It tastes like a tough or rough rice...? The description on the bottle says "powerful as a native species" and "deep flavor with a sense of vitality," but I see... this is an experience I've never had before..!
So, after drinking about half of it, I left it in the fridge for a while because I was on vacation and couldn't drink it.
When I drank it again after returning home...oh, now it tastes "like a wild melon that has fully ripened and then the bitterness and sweetness in the middle coexist"...!
And it's interesting that it's still wild...! It's a mystery...!
The aroma is a mixture of sweet and sour.
When you put it in your mouth, a strong sour taste spreads after a short pause. The aftertaste is throat-stabbing and astringent. It stays in the throat rather firmly.
The overall taste is slightly peculiar. It seems to be a favorite of both lovers and haters. It may be too much for a single person or a light-flavored dish.
The second cup was Kirakucho. It literally tasted like it was supposed to, but it was sweet and refreshing.
The photo shows the shiso-flavored shaved ice🍧 offered at check-in at the hotel lecture hall where we stayed, and the marker post of the Russian Crown Prince in distress near the hotel. The Otsu Incident 🫢.
Today we visited Shiga-in Monzeki - Ritsuin - Seigenji - Hiyoshi Toshogu - Saikyoin - Morianji Temple in Sakamoto, and then extended our visit to Ishiyama-ji Temple because we had some extra time.
Sakamoto is famous for the Shonaga revolt. Sakamoto was a strategic point of transportation, and by the medieval period, horse borrowing was still practiced in the area. Unlike Koyasan, the town overhangs the lower boundary because of the advantage there 🤔.
In addition, stone walls of Anata-shu are everywhere, including Seian-ji Temple. And Shiga-in Temple is worth seeing because it is associated with Tenkai 🧐.
I omitted Mitsui Temple and Hiyoshi Taisha because I visited them long time ago.
Hi ellie 🐦.
Thank you for visiting Otsu😊I could feel that the Otsu Incident actually happened to me too😁.
Sakamoto is nice and compact...sounds like you had a fulfilling trip 😊👍.
Good evening, Ponchan ^ ^
It seems it was Saicho's birthday and I saw a fair at Seigenji temple😄 Today I walked around Enryakuji temple and traveled to Amanohashidate.
Tomorrow, I would like to meet Mukai Sake Brewery and, if possible, Ine full-blown muddy!
