100% Yamadanishiki from Hyogo Prefecture
Junmai Ginjo-shu from Joyo, Yamashiro, Kyoto. It has an elegant ginjo aroma that is typical of Kyoto and goes down a treat. It is good with simmered cod...!
At the end of the year, I visited Joyo Sake Brewery in Yamashiro, Kyoto. I purchased a limited edition sake that was sold by measure from a barrel filled directly after brewing 🍶.
Although the rice polishing ratio is undisclosed, it is said to be Junmai Daiginjo-grade polish, which makes it even more special ✨.
As you would expect from a Daiginjo class sake, it is fruity. The mouthfeel is smooth, and the umami taste is also present but not strong. The taste itself is not too sweet, but the fruity aroma makes it feel slightly sweet and easy to drink.
A good sake at the end of the year. ☺️
Delicious!
Slight sweetness. Gentle acidity, a little tangy and slightly effervescent. Fresh and rich flavor.
Sake rice "Celebration" born to be a delicious sake. A label with a peacock or phoenix or some other auspicious bird. Appropriate for the festive New Year.
At a year-end party, people talked about eating osechi all year round. Osechi is a perfect accompaniment to sake.
At Fushimi Shuzo-do, we happily bought sake while consulting with the shopkeeper.
I drank my first sake called Joyo at Haneda and it was really good, so I recorded it 📝.
I had never seen it at a liquor store before, and I thought I might buy some to take home...? I thought about buying it but decided not to because I felt it was a bit expensive. Regret 😢
A party to celebrate the end of the year.
We drink junmai ginjo from Joyo, Kyoto, in a cup purchased near Kiyomizu-dera Temple.
It has a fresh, mellow rice flavor.
But it has an elegant acidity and a crisp taste that balances the overall flavor.
Delicious. Thank you for your hard work this year.

It's finally the right time of year for new sake 😊.
This time, I'm going to try my favorite new sake from Tarekuchi Sake!
It's delicious and has the wildness of new sake.
But I think I prefer it when it's aged a bit more 🤔.
