Well, I tried to take a bite of the high milling ratio, which was a new experience for me, but it was neither good nor bad. I couldn't understand it well.
It is a low-polishing junmai sake with a rice polishing ratio of 91%.
I had this sake at a tavern I visited some time ago, and although I forget the details of the taste, I remember it was a delicious sake with various flavors and aromas of rice.
This is the second bottle of Chogen this fall. At the time of the nama-shu, I wondered what was wrong with it this year. Other breweries, when they were making the nama-shu, seemed to think they had too much Yamae-nishiki or that Yamae-nishiki was bad.
It was a sake that needed time.
Drinking it now, it still needs more time. I decided to open it and enjoy it slowly.
At 14.5 degrees, the alcohol content is high.
I tried to make it milder by mixing it with a little water.
It might be interesting to try heating it up to lukewarm in the future.
On the second day, the nastiness is still quite strong, but it is good with 10-20% hot water!
Day 3. The balance between the nastiness, umami, and spiciness has been achieved. I tried heating it to lukewarm. This is good. I'm looking forward to drinking it in the future!
This sake is from the October distribution of the Nippon Meimon Sake Club.
When drunk chilled, it had just a hint of acidity,
When warmed up, the aroma was more pronounced, and it transformed into a well-balanced sake with a complex flavor.
The rice polishing ratio is 91%.

Yesterday we had a drink with some of the company's senior alumni.
I had a drink with one of the company's former senior managers.
When I was still young, I enjoyed working under his guidance.
We had a lot of fun talking about how we enjoyed working under his guidance when we were still young.
Akatsuka has been around since the days when he used to carry goods from Ueno Station
Akatsuka has been a hangout since the days when he used to carry goods from Ueno Station in a rear car.
Akihabara may have changed, but this restaurant has never changed!
Motsu-ni (boiled motsu), sashimi, yakitori (grilled chicken), and tatami sardines!
There's no reason why you can't drink more sake: ❣️
Hi Harry!
I saw Akatsuka on TV and thought I'd like to visit it, but I see it's a familiar place to you from long ago 😊I hope it will always be the same for you, a place filled with many memories ✨.
Good evening, Chichi😄.
Yesterday we were in a private room upstairs,
I think Akatsuka is for a small group of people,
U-shaped counter is good👍.
There were some gaijin downstairs, and I wonder where they got their information 🤭.
I don't know where they are going to find out 🤭.
Good evening, Ponchan 😁.
Please go there with your husband sometime.
Please order a motsu nimono and hot sake 🍶 at the U-shaped counter.
Please order 🍶 and hot sake 🍶 at the U-shaped counter ‼️ and then order the recommended snacks.
Order more 😁.
The initial aroma has a slight alcohol taste.
In the mouth, there is a good sweetness with the flavor of matured rice.
There is also a hint of sweetness.
The label on the back of the bottle says "very dry" on top of 19 degrees of alcohol, so I was wondering what it would be like, but the fact that it was made in February and shipped in August, and that it is a well-matured hiyaoroshi, I guess, is what made me think it was a good one. I was betrayed in a good way.
It was delicious!
First outdoor photo session in a long time 🍶.
The location is the entrance of Kisokomagatake,
2600m Senjyoshiki Curl
The star of the show was Junmaijishiki by Shinanonishiki!
I happened to find it when I got off the ropeway 🚡.
I found it 😁.
The taste is light and a little sour,
It's the first bottle, so it was quickly consumed. ❣️
It was a weekend, so the 🚌 and 🚡 were packed,
The trail was also quite full 😄.
But even up there I was sweating in short sleeves💦,
I guess it must be hot🥵 in the city,
If you recognize the T-shirts they're wearing

Hi Harry ☀☀☀.
Beautiful scenery ✨and cool 😊Mountains and drinks collaborate with the same name, nice - I'd love to 😆👍I don't know about the t-shirt unfortunately💦.
Hi Harry 😃.
The two of us 👬 are going to climb a mountain together ❗️ sounds great - thanks for the beautiful scenery ☺️ 🥹.
If the t-shirt is not J&N 🤔I don't think so 🤔Utsunomiya LRT? 🤣I don't know, maybe Hakone Tozan Railway 🚞?
Hi Harry 😃
I see you are visiting Senjidashiki✨.
I know that in the summer, the curls are beautiful 😃.
I went to Norikoshi Jodo too 😆.
I have no idea about the t-shirt 🤣.
Hi Jaynobi 😃.
I had fun climbing the mountain, but with the weather,
I was surprised by the strong sunshine,
I didn't want to go back to the city 😅.
Please wait for the answer on the t-shirt.
Hi Zeke 😃
I'm visiting you in Shinshu 😅
I was watching TV📺 and saw that Ueda and Nagano city
Ueda and Nagano are the hottest cities in Japan right now 🥵.
Was there ever such a thing in the past? That's crazy!
Hello, Matsuchiyo 😃
I thought the summer vacation was already over,
I thought the summer vacation was already over, but it was still crowded on weekends, there was some waiting time.
I was also waiting in line for a while 😃. I didn't stop by because I didn't do enough research 😅 shame 😢.
It's a T-shirt, and I was hoping someone would guess it, but..,
I bought this T-shirt online because I was curious about the Seiji Rokkaku Band T-shirt that he wears on NHK's Drinking Iron series... ♪
Hi Harry, good evening 🌙
Lovely view ⛰️✨and nice photos of you two💖.
I see the mountains are crowded now too〰︎💦
Sorry 🙏I didn't recognize the T-shirts 🥲.
The only matching t-shirt I could find was "J&N" 🤣.
Good morning, Tsubu 😃.
Thank you 😊 everyone is looking for cooler weather.
I see you are in the mountains. I guess the sakewa is still the way to go,
I guess the sakesawa is no match for the J&N shirts 😅.
Ishasha. Miyamanishiki. We have had Shinanotsuru several times, but this may be the first time for Shinanonishiki. It is rich and has a great umami flavor without being cloying. I might like it. Nagano sake is good after all.
