Evening drinks at home.
It's been a while since I've had sake with my parents.
The second bottle was Junmai Ginjo Araibashiri

A little sweeter than the first bottle of Sake

A little sweeter than the first bottle of Sake Sen Ei Hikari, but a dangerous sake that is easy to drink.
I enjoyed it with meat tofu and grilled chicken skin.
I enjoyed it with meat tofu and grilled chicken skin.
Very delicate and vigorous, with a good sweetness and gasiness, sometimes tangy and stimulating, a nice accent. The aftertaste goes down smoothly.
When I paired it with seri nabe, the bitterness increased.
I have to choose!
Just outside the gate of Takeo Onsen Hot Spring in Takeo City, Saga Prefecture, is Guild, a standing bar.
Takeo Onsen, Takeo City, Saga Prefecture.
The bar is a stand-up drinking style with no food menu.
Instead, you can bring your own food🙆.
You can taste sake and craft beer from all over Japan!
Even if you are not familiar with Japanese sake and craft beer
If you are not familiar with Japanese sake or craft beer, the master will offer recommendations according to your tastes.
You can drink with peace of mind ✨.
Here is the second set of three kinds of sake.
This is Kawakame, which is also new to me.
I have seen it wrapped in newspaper before.
Fruity and robust flavor with a refreshing acidity.
and fresh acidity and memory.
It's wrapped in newspaper, but that's the label✋a clear bottle wrapped in newspaper, with the product label on top of the newspaper for a unique look!
I couldn't help but look twice at it at the liquor store (lol).
The taste is moderately spicy with a fruity ginjo aroma.
This is my first Ehime sake, but it's good.
Buy the label intensely!
Tart and sweet aroma and amber color...?
The back label shows the date of manufacture...
Is there some kind of mistake?
But it certainly has an aged feel.
If the label on the back is true, I think it was carefully stored.
(And the liquor store where I bought it is a trustworthy place.)
I am looking forward to seeing this famous sake from Iyo again!
This is Kawakame, a special pure rice from Kawakame Shuzo in Yawatahama City, Ehime Prefecture.
Yawatahama in Ehime is famous for its champon.
This is the first time I have had Kawakame.
It is a standard junmai sake brewed with rice of Gohyakumangoku and Oyamanishiki, with a rice polishing ratio of 60%.
It has a sake strength of plus 6 and an acidity of 1.4, so it is dry in terms of status.
It was served at room temperature.
But sorry, I was drunk.
I was so drunk that I don't remember enough to describe the aroma and taste....
I will respectfully revisit it someday.
According to the word on the street, it has a fruity aroma, a rich and fluffy flavor, and a crisp and spicy taste that is perfect as a food wine.
Kawakame Junmai Daiginjo Nakakumi Unfiltered Nama-shu 1917 yen (4 gos. bottle)
I wanted to drink a nice sake tonight, so I opened this bottle. The strong ginjo aroma gave the impression that it would be very rich. The first attack is as expected, with a thick, sweet rice flavor. The spiciness lingers in the aftertaste, making it very tasty. I served it with simmered chicken, daikon radish, and satsuma-age, and in no time at all, the entire bottle was gone!

Freshly squeezed, unfiltered, raw sake
Delicious. Easy to drink with a refreshing taste.
but you can taste the sweetness.
