We received a drop-off of sake for the Obon Festival.
I'm sure they're thinking of all sorts of things in their stable supply of regular sake.
It was exactly the kind of sake that is normally delicious.
This is a commemorative cup of Shirataka, Nishinomiya's local sake, purchased at Hanshin Department Store.
It's a light and dry sake that goes down smoothly 🍶.
I'm going to keep the cup because I still want to soak in the afterglow of the victory.
The only Imperial Sake for the Ise Jingu Shrine🍶 This is the first thing that catches my attention. Special feeling...lol
This sake has been continuously dedicated to Amaterasu, the ancestral deity of the imperial family. How does it taste? I was thrilled when I drank it...my palate said it was the sake of sake. It can be served cold or hot, with meat or fish, or just about anything.
It has no peculiar taste, good or bad. I bought this sake when I visited Ise, and it is a famous sake in Mie (at that time I bought a Saku from Shimizu Seizaburo Shoten). So I bought a 300 ml bottle of Shirataka, but it is such a good sake that I now wish I had bought a 720! It is also a good luck charm, and I would like everyone to taste this bottle.
