This summer sake is a blend of Junmai Ginjyo's rough running and blame portions. It has excellent transparency, but the umami, amami, and lingering rice miscellaneous taste from the middle to the last part of the bottle. This must be the "blame" part. The label is cute!
I bought this sake before the holidays...oh yes, I remember where I bought it...at a liquor store in Sano, Tochigi.
It's dry, refreshing, and I thought it was a good summer dry sake. Summer is coming to an end, but the summer drinking of sake will continue (probably)!
The "Shirokuma Bottle" will make you forget the heat in midsummer.
Ginjo aroma like green apple. After feeling the strong alcohol, it is crisp and cool. It is a sake that you will never get tired of drinking.
I found Penguin, which is found in only 8% of shipments, next to Shirakuma and bought a bottle!
The aroma is subdued, and the slight jungin sensation is immediately drowned out by the spiciness (bitterness) and cut off until the end. It is a refreshingly dry summer sake with zero fruitiness, almost like a honjozo.
Special Junmai🍶Miyama Nishiki🌾.
I was invited by a former coworker to join a private izakaya sake drinking contest 😆 25 different kinds of sake ✨24th glass, last two.
Crisp, dry grass. Paired with boiled mebaru. Dry and light ✨Light and delicious.
I also put up the 25 kinds of sake menu.

Next, I decided to use Akita's new sake rice, Ippozumi, and brewed Kakuemon Junmai Ginjyo Ippozumi. Akita Prefecture has a wide variety of sake rice, so it is a good time to show off the brewery's skills!
The aroma is quite nice. It is light but has a strong shibuniga flavor. It is light, but still has a strong sibuniga. Delicious.
Summer in Roppongi at Yakitori restaurant, Nen-es.
We ordered the bisque to go with one of the yakitori courses. It is a slightly cloudy sake made by blending the "rough" (the first part of the sake when it is pressed) and the "blended" (the last part of the sake).
The clarity of the bottle is evident, but the sake as a stand-alone is not as punchy. It is an easy-drinking sake.
