I went to a liquor store in Kamata with my wife. We bought a coin for 200 yen and pressed the button for our favorite sake. I was attracted by the label "Shonai Bijin" and tried it. It was refreshing and delicious.
Chilled
Very fruit forward right from the beginning. Initial sweetness is tricky since it settles into a pleasant dryness almost immediately with good acidity. Lingering finish of oxidized apple juice.
80/100
Even though it was the Ides of March, both Ohtani and his bride arrived in Seoul and I escaped from the office safely. This was the last of the two from the ANA website with soon to be expiring points. Nice way to end the week.
Another Friday in Lent means no meat today, so sashimi at home. Acquired this from ANA using points that were to expire. There was some snow this morning so the name is appropriate; but almost Sakura 🌸 season so using choko purchased near Yasukuni Jinja. TGIF
The first bottle of this year's Mujirinoshu 🍶.
When you put it in your mouth, a unique aroma spreads 😌.
Is it the aroma of koji? 🤔
It has a strong lingering umami flavor 😆.
I'm looking forward to comparing the various breweries' Mujirino sake again this year 💕.
I had a glass on the plane in the morning.
I imagined it to be heavy, but it is a light and sweet sake. I enjoyed it with chicken teriyaki sandwiches and vegetable sandwiches.

Nagasaki Airport→Haneda Airport
I'm moving to Tokyo from Nagasaki on a business trip.
I have some time before my flight tonight 😁.
On the plane, I'll have this one, which can be ordered in-flight this time of year, while leisurely reading my e-mail.
I've had this a few times, but it's a food sake.
I had this on an ANA premium seat.
It was fine until we were drinking this, and we were scheduled to land at Haneda but had to land at Central Japan International Airport.
In a way, it was a memorable drink.
This is a ginjo-nama sake with a hint of lees. I felt the sweetness of the rice was maximal when I let it come to room temperature before drinking. I am currently serving it with boiled Nametagarei (flatfish), and it goes very well with it!
It is said that the name "tamago-mae-shu" comes from the fact that freshly brewed sake was drunk in front of a machine called a "fune" that presses the unrefined sake. It has a freshness typical of namaishu and a soft, mildly sweet aroma.
