Another cup of sake 🍶.
Unlike yesterday, as the name suggests, it is soft!
I like to drink another cup of sake in the same cup that I drank it in recently 🤭.
It's a cup of Niigata souvenir 🍶.
Nowadays, there are many kinds of souvenirs at convenience stores in train stations, so it's perfect if you are in need of souvenirs 👌
Even though it's a souvenir, I bought it for myself✨.
This one is dry, crisp and easy to drink!
I have another one, so I'll have to compare them 🍶!
Kirinzan Traditional dry sake
Made with 100% rice grown in Okuaga, Niigata.
It was given to me as a souvenir from back home by a person at work, thank you 🙏.
It is a traditional dry sake (a.k.a. Denkara) at 21%!
It was served cold this time.
The aroma is slightly sweet with a hint of alcohol.
Mild sweetness on the palate, with a tangy sensation on the tongue.
The mid-palate is balanced between umami and spiciness.
The aftertaste finishes with a spiciness that makes one's throat feel tight!
But strangely enough, it goes well with food.
Drink (tingling) → eat (softening) → drink (tingling again) → eat (endless loop) 🍶🍽️

Father-in-law also rated it as delicious.
A little bitter aftertaste.
It has a heavy aftertaste, so it is better to enjoy the lingering aftertaste while savoring each cup rather than gulping it down.
It's getting a little cooler these days
I'm going to have a bowl of "Akiko".
It's a refreshing and versatile drink that goes with everything.
I want to drink it with the windows open and feel the autumn breeze!
