Cup of sake🍶.
One of a set of 30 Niigata sake cups celebrating the 20th anniversary of the ㊗️ Sake no Jin.
First at room temperature. Slightly burnt. Deeply flavored. Slightly lukewarm warmed. ♨️ Sweetness is up. Easy to drink. Goes well with Tekkamaki.
Purchased online from Sake Kadoya @ Murakami.
Manjukagami, which I have been captivated by ever since an acquaintance in Niigata told me about it.
It is as easy to drink as ever, and even an amateur sake drinker can enjoy its taste.
Polished and polished to 40% rice polishing ratio even though it is a regular sake!
It is clean and clear!
It's not so much sharp as it is clean, with a hint of rice flavor in the polished depths....
It is not sweet, not dry, not mellow... but it is delicious!
It's not sweet, it's not dry, it's not what you would call mellow... but it's delicious!
