Recently, I often go to all-you-can-eat and all-you-can-drink izakaya (Japanese style pubs) in Osaka. Of course, it is work-related, but everywhere I go, without exception, the food and drinks are bad and unreasonably expensive. I couldn't stand it any longer, so the other day I went to the Asano Sake Shop by myself for an after-party. This was a hundred times more worthwhile.
On Friday, I stayed at home with my cat.
The aroma of this sake is reminiscent of a sweet sake. The taste is so good that when you put your mouth on it, it draws you in. ←This is important.
It has a strong taste with a straight line running through the middle. There are no unpleasant parts such as spiciness or harshness, and it is a mass of favorable flavors and aromas. It was consumed in 3 days.
I finished it in three days, but the flavor remained strong.
After the Corona, it was the first time in a long time that I encountered a sake that made me think, "Oh, this is delicious! I found a sake that I thought "Oh, it's delicious!
At a circle OBOG meeting. Rather firm, spicy taste that comes to the tongue and throat. I think it tasted refreshing. (I was too tired to remember the taste 💦)

I've had many different kinds of sake, but there was a time when I stopped looking for new ones and just drank the ones I liked.
Some of the breweries have stopped making sake or made it difficult to find, but one of the sake I used to drink a lot back then was this Hibokuizumi.
It's been five years since I last had this sake, but it reminded me of my own tastes and flavors.
For a change of pace, we went to a standing bar 🍶🎵.
