On such a cold night, I warm myself with Etsukaijin Junmai-shu.
It's suddenly hot. It's good, it's good. It soaks up the cold. The retro label is also nice.
This sake is three years old. Naturally, it is kept at room temperature.
It's like dried grapes, apricots, nuts, an old chest of drawers, honey lemon, moldy cheese, and all sorts of other goodness concentrated in it.
My body warmed up quickly and I took off my layers of clothes. The cold cools off and feels good.

Easy-drinking sake despite being a kaijin.
I don't say "This is not a kaijin", but I thought "It doesn't have to be this one! I don't say that, but I thought that it doesn't have to be this one.

Awesome name😅.
It's a food wine 😎.
It's delicious🤸🤸🤸🤸🤸🤸.
Feels like it goes with the food.
The aftertaste and flavor do not interfere with the food.
It's delicious and goes down your throat ✨.
The aroma is strong, like that of Shaoxing wine.
The umami of rice and round, soft sweetness gradually seep out.
It leaves a strong lingering aftertaste, but there is no cloying taste, and the Etsukaijin character can be felt firmly.

The fourth restaurant in Goala was Shuku Kaijin 🎊.
President Maruo and the brewer were here, and I had a nice chat with him, but I was so engrossed in the conversation and sake that I forgot to ask for a photo 😅.
While drinking Oceto, I looked at the menu and found a nigori sake that I had never seen before, so I quickly ordered it 🍶.
The first aroma was slightly sweet with a hint of koji malt.
The top aroma is slightly sweet with a hint of koji malt.
It has a slight acidity, a slight sweetness from the rice, and a mild umami.
It is said that the sake was kept in a refrigerator at 15°C after bottling, but it was so beautiful that it was hard to believe that it was from the H20BY.
It is indeed Yamahai without any twists at all 😊.
We also had some handmade junmai sake which is hard to find unless you are a local.
It was delicious 🍶✨️
I asked the brewery about the yeast used, and they told me that the "Kumamoto No. 9" on the label is actually 5 different types of No. 9 yeast: 2 types from the Kumamoto Prefectural Sake Brewing Research Institute of "Koroh", 2 types from a yeast company whose name I forgot, and 1 type from an association yeast.
Incidentally, Yamahai has no yeast added, but it seems to come from somewhere, and the label says that No. 9 is used.
Hi, Matsuchiyo-san. Enjoying your go-around 😆 Etsukaijin's H20BY nigori! Great to hear President Maruo's story while drinking such a hidden sake👍I didn't know there were so many varieties of No. 9 yeast 😳.
Hi Peco 🌞.
Well that was great 😊
The yeast story was a surprise 🤔.
The restaurant is a nice place run by a nice old couple, I think next year I'll go to drink all the triumphs they brought me to narrow down the stores to a few more 😆.
