Today's sake is drunken whale, 55% polished rice, brewed at low temperature with our own yeast, and goes well with food. We are having it with dashi-scented otoshi meatballs, salad, and makogarei sashimi 😋 #Yaohiro #Yaohiro Tsujido #Tsujido #Fujisawa

Drunken Whale is the image of Mr. Rui Yoshida.
I usually don't drink sake because of its dry image, so I decided to take this opportunity.
What we drank was
Junmai Ginjo Kouiku 54
Kouiku 54 = Gin no Yume
Dry sake with a hint of sweetness.
I've had this one at home in the past, but I had a similar impression.
Junmai Daiginjo Tora
Made with Bizen Omachi. It is refreshing, but the acidity is impressive.

The rice is Ginpu. The rice is Ginpu. It is refreshing but has a fruity taste. It is not sweet, but it seems to change the image of drunken whales when you drink it.
They didn't bring any high-end sake with a flirtatious design label, but they did have a pamphlet.

The booth of "Drunken Whale" in Kochi.
I often see drunken whales and tend to ignore them. But I know it is delicious. I had never seen the label before, and was encouraged by bouken-san's call to drink, so I tasted a slightly expensive one that I wouldn't normally drink.
◉Drunken Whale Junmai Ginjo Kouiku 54
A year-round product. It has a citrusy acidity and a refreshing taste.
◉Drunken Whale Junmai Daiginjo Tora
This has an Oumachi-like flavor, but it is very much like Drunken Whale. The impact of Omachi is less pronounced.
◉Drunken Whale Junmai Daiginjo Natsu Kujira Genshu
The sake rice is Ginpu. The yeast is Kochi yeast AC-17, and the crisp, clear and sharp aftertaste is impressive.
The brewery produces 800 sake bottles and has overseas operations in China, Taiwan, the U.S., Singapore, and other countries.
As bouken said, the number of stones shipped is 6000 on the website! I don't know when this information was provided, but it might be 8,000 stones now 🤣.
Today we are having a special Junmai sake with a sharp aftertaste, a drunken whale special junmai sake with a full flavor and a fresh acidity. We are having hijiki with chicken, grilled herring, and sashimi of a bluefin squid 😋 #Yaohiro #Yaohiro Tsujido #Tsujido #Fujisawa
The aroma and flavor are of ripe melon and pineapple, but it is easy to drink and not too heavy. It has been a while since I last had it, but maybe my image of it has changed.
The mouthfeel is very gentle and smooth. After that, it has a ginjo taste, but as expected! The finish is clean and crisp! Delicious and easy to drink!
A cup made with Bizen Omachi. It has a characteristic acidity that makes it a good match for meat dishes. Of course, the sake itself is also enjoyable.
At a straw-yaki restaurant in Hamamatsucho.
Sake made with Hachitan-Nishiki.
It was served hot.
It has a lactic acidic taste.
