Shina-no-shiki kyogen
Strong and peculiar. Aroma that makes you wonder if it's hiney. Bitter taste and aftertaste like soy sauce. What is this?
The sweetness and umami are enhanced when it is heated. It's delicious, isn't it? On the other hand, if you cool it down, it has a fruity, dry taste. What is this?
Purchased at a sake brewery.
In front of the station in Ina, the townscape with a Showa-era atmosphere is nice.
Postscript.
According to the flier, the 81% milled rice ratio is called Chogen series, M means Miyamanishiki and 91 means milled rice ratio. Homage to superstring theory. Nobeyama radio telescope.
It seems to have been created under the concept of reducing food loss by low rice milling and saving paper for labels.
Sustainable.
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!
