Fusozuru's Junmai Ginjo "Sakanishiki".
Sakanishiki.
The year before last, in October 2022, when we drank it at Otsuka, it came out as a recommendation from the waiter, who commented that the sake "could be drunk forever."
It has been about 2 years, and it has matured to a golden, or yamabuki, color, maturity, and savory aroma 😊.
It is also good hot sake.
It also has a gentle flavor for a San-in sake.
We ordered it from Kotobukiya in Hon Atsugi in January 2023,
I would like to let it sit for another year if possible, but the production is so small that it will be sold out before it reaches the right ripeness, which is a challenge for the future. We have been following the comment on the website of Kotobuki-ya, "We would like to keep it for one more year if possible.
The flavor is developing nicely 😊.
With stewed beef tendon.
I haven't been drinking heated sake since it hasn't gotten very cold, but I finally opened a bottle of this one that I bought for heating sake.
The brewing year is 2020, so it has been aged for more than 3 years!
First, it was served cold.
It has a slightly peculiar taste with a sense of maturity from the acidity, and it finishes with a spiciness!
It is delicious in this way.
Warmed, the acidity stands out and the spiciness finishes with a refreshing umami taste.
When heated, the acidity becomes less pronounced and it becomes a dry sake that is very easy to drink 😁.
I prefer it cold to warm 😋.
It tastes similar to Sairyu from Nara 🤔.
Good evening, TOMO 😃.
I'd like to say it's getting chilly in the mornings and evenings, but it's not so easy 😅.
We also have a bottle of sake dedicated to heating sake, but it hasn't come into use yet 😑.
But this makes me want to drink it 😚😚.
Izumo - Shimanami - Takamatsu (6)
The fourth drink at Izakaya was Fusozuru
Yellow in color.
A little sourness, refreshing
A little bitterness?
Just as we were about to close the party, my wife and daughter called me.
My wife and daughter called me to tell me that they had taken a picture of me in the daytime, but they didn't dress me in the right way, so we'll try again tomorrow morning 😱.
In the morning, we took pictures at Izumo-taisha Shrine and headed for the Shimanami Sea Route.
I had this sake at a restaurant the other day and really liked it.
It does not taste sweet on the tongue, but it has a clean, natural sweet aroma, like freshly cooked rice, and I really liked that.
My overall impression is that it is a refreshing sake.
It also had a little bit of mash in it, which made it a fun drink for the tongue.
Tenma Bello Bello Drinking and Walking⑯
Finally, the last.
The last sake, also from the San'in region.
This sake is also served lukewarm.

This sake also has a gradually penetrating umami and acidity. I felt the acidity was stronger than that of the Asahi Nikko. It's matured and has a weight and fullness of umami, and it's warm and tender.
Come to think of it, it was the same as the one I had drunk at a previous event.
Drunken old men who were at the limit of their fun and drunkenness headed home.
We all made it home, so it was a job well done 💮.
