Utsunomiya's LRT seems to be doing moderately well. p
I am happy to see that this public transportation system, which passes near my alma mater, is doing well.
So, I will have the LRT 1st anniversary commemorative can.
The contents are Shikizakura special junmai, which is medium smooth and tasty.
It is a bit pungent, but not enough to be bothersome.
Yes, it is a very good sake. p
This is the second bottle of sake 🍶 I received as a gift.
It is refreshing and easy to drink.
It has no bitterness, and the sourness and sweetness are only slightly pronounced. The aroma is slightly sweet, and although it may not be as assertive as a food sake, it is easy to drink for beginners.
It is easy to drink for beginners. It may be better matched with Japanese food such as grilled or simmered fish than with fried or other solid snacks.
I opened the bottle and after 13 days, I stored the remaining bottle in the refrigerator and drank it again. I think this sake has a stronger melon aroma and a better aftertaste. Most of my favorite Sentori should be drunk sooner than later, but I have found a new sake that is better for me.

The name of the dish has cherry blossoms in it, so I will have it because it is in season.
I thought the waiter was crazy because he brought it to me while saying "wee wee wee wee", but I heard it is written "first time" and read as "wee wee wee".
So I enjoyed it while saying "wiwiwiwi". It was fun.
The rain stopped, but as expected, I was not in the mood to enjoy the nighttime cherry blossoms outside tonight, so I only took pictures of the flowers.
This brewery holds fond memories for me of working part-time when I was a student.
At that time, there was no such junmai raw storage.
This sake is delicious and easy to drink with a rather clean taste and little malted rice smell.
Thank you for your comments, Jay & Nobby.
My old school was near Shikizakura, so I have been there a few times to work at the spot.
I enjoyed getting sakekasu as a souvenir.
That was decades ago.
Purchased this sake because I wanted to try a sake from Tochigi Prefecture other than Sengoku. This sake is made with Kumamoto Prefecture's pride and joy, Karo yeast (mostly No. 9 yeast). Dry, mellow, taste cuts off smoothly, matured at less than 5 degrees Celsius.
Tokyo Souvenir Sake No. 3
Purchased at a liquor store in Koenji
This is my first brand.
Cold sake
Nutty aroma.
The strength of the sake comes through from the mid-palate to the aftertaste.
Bitter chocolate astringency in the aftertaste.
