When removed from the exterior film, a slightly yellowish appearance appeared. Since it seems to be a sake that goes well with sushi, I procured a bottle at a nearby Choshimaru and paired it with sushi, which went perfectly.
As is typical of daiginjos, it did not disturb the food, and the smooth taste kept me going as I opened a bottle.
Clear yellowish liquid.
It has a sweet, spicy and fresh aroma.
When served cold, it was fresh like whipped cream when it entered the mouth, and soon after, it was enveloped by spicy and rice flavor.
In the mouth, there was a sweetness in the center of the tongue, a pungency in the back, and a glimmer of gloss on the tip of the tongue.
As the temperature gradually settled down, the sake became dry and a little thicker in the mouth, and the firm rice flavor spread out, leaving a pungent taste at the back of the throat and a glossy feeling on the tongue.
It is a sake that leaves you with a sense of taste 😋.
The third day after opening the bottle.
After the taste settled down and the refreshing mouthfeel was followed by a shiitake mushroom soup-like flavor, the sweet and spicy taste spread from the center of the tongue to the back of the mouth.
The flavor increases and you can taste it even more 🤤.
Sari "Dry No Goku" 🍶.
Slightly melon. So called dry but the aroma and umami are good.
It has a nice sharpness too 😊.
Dry sake with proper umami is great for the opening 🤤.

Yesterday, I was at a rather nice Japanese restaurant in Jiyugaoka with my work colleagues. There was only a counter, and the owner cooked alone behind it. Course only.
And we did it again! All-you-can-drink.
(Naturally, my memory and record fade, and only the pictures remain...)
First, it was cold outside, so we started with warmed sake.

This is the first heated sake I've had this year. This is also good in winter. The aroma is strong, and it's nice on the nose. Delicious.
The tsukidashi is mussels seasoned with sesame oil.
You'd think it would be fresh.
No, it is rather firm.
Sweetness is strong.
The acidity is a little low.
It was my first time to try this brand.
but it was delicious.
When we took out the bottle wrapped in the outer bag, we found a delicious, golden-colored sake.
It appears to be a junmai sake that has been aged in the brewery, and the mouthfeel has a solid core with a hint of sweetness. It is a dry sake with rice flavor and a unique acidity.
After a few days of drinking, it became mellower and the deliciousness doubled.
Sari Kanzashi. This may be my first time to drink this sake. I thought it might be a sake for heating since it has the word "kan" in it, but I got the impression that it is a wide-ranging sake that can be served both warmed and chilled. It has a full-bodied flavor that lingers on the tongue, but it also has a nice lightness to it that makes it easy to drink.
A bottle I drank on a business trip!
They didn't show me the bottle.
When I looked it up, I was convinced it was a Fukui Prefecture sake and the izakaya there also uses Fukui Prefecture products!
It was light but also a little sharp.
