First Sunrise Junmai Daiginjo Unfiltered Raw Sake ● Made with 100% Kyoto Prefecture-grown Gohyakumangoku rice ● Rice polishing ratio: 50% ● Alcohol content: 16%
● Sake Meter Value +4, Acidity - (for reference) ◯ Opened 1/2, Posted 1/0 This is the sake I brought when visiting my wife's parents on 1/2. Every year around year-end, Haneda Shuzo visits our local liquor store, so I chose this sake after chatting and tasting it 😘
The aroma after opening is a refreshing ginjo fragrance! It has a sweet apple🍎-like scent, but you can already sense its crispness from the aroma. Taking a sip, yes! You definitely get that moderate apple-like sweetness, but the characteristic sharpness of this brewery makes the aftertaste even crisper🤩. This sharpness is pleasantly refreshing, so even those who dislike dry sake might enjoy it😘.
I think the defining feature of this sake is its refreshing acidity, which comes from the apple-like aroma and flavor. ♪ Delicious! ♪ The fourth photo is of Tokyo Tower and the city skyline at dusk, taken when I went to Ginza for my company's New Year's party on January 5th. 🌇 It's nice to see a view like this once in a while. 😊 (Please forgive the background in the shot. 😅)
Good morning, Kozou-san😃 The first sunrise of the year—truly a celebratory toast for New Year's🎍🍶 When you chat with the brewery folks, it makes the sake feel so much more personal, doesn't it?❣️ Even the dry ones have a refreshing sharpness! I see...🧐 Ginza looks like such a fun spot for New Year's parties😆

I am back home for a late summer vacation. I am relaxing. I went to a sweets shop with friends, ate mackerel sushi, drank sake, and had a good night's sleep.
Haneda Sake Brewery was having a special event at the department store where I went to buy Okutanba.
I bought it because it was their top recommendation. After a slight carbonation, sweetness and a little bit of acidity came and it was delicious. It has a very broad and deep flavor. It is rich but not boring at all, and I felt it would be a shame to finish it all, so I decided to keep it for the next day.
Well, this day marked the beginning of my personal mahjong 🀄️ season. The first day was positive!
I went to the Ajimu no Sato roadside station today and was looking for something to buy when I noticed that Tanzan Shuzo was still there (it seems like he is there every time I go there). It was dry and priced at 1100 yen without tax.
It was a pale yellow color and had a clear cemedine smell. It is as spicy as the label "dry" suggests.
I want to drink it with ice.
