I stopped by a liquor store and bought it for half price, in the 800 yen range. It was a spring item, so the price was down 😙.
I thought it was an unusual brand, so I looked it up and found that it was a 300 year old law-breaker. I've seen this at a different liquor store 👀.
Hana no Keiji was available, so I opened a bottle. It's November, like spring.
Tastes like...
A little thick. Yellowish. What is this grain-like aroma that lingers in the nose? I can't describe it well, but it's quite rich and old-fashioned. The ad says it's fresh, but I think it might be better to call it flavorful 🤔.
I forgot to put potatoes in the pot-au-feu and edamame as accompaniments.
Good morning ellie!
Maybe it would have been fresh if I drank it in spring?
It might have tasted different 💦 since it's been sitting for 6 months.
Beautiful Fuji 🗻😍
Good evening Eirin-san.
It still changes after more than half a year... 😓I have a Kutouryuu that has been in the fridge for a year 😅.
It's Fuji in the morning sun😊Next time I will try to take a different angle 🏔.
3rd day after opening the bottle.
The sharp taste of the first day has fizzled out. The aftertaste is still there. If you want to enjoy a big dry wine, it should be freshly opened.
A friend of mine gave me a bottle of Chiyozu, which has a slightly bitter taste at the end, but it is a refreshing sake and does not interfere with food when drunk with it.
Umaumai and Umaumai-san for a drink (4)
I knew this sake from my neighbor's store, but I had avoided it because of the dry image of the tiger label 😅.
I was surprised to find out that it's a mellow, sweet and tasty type of sake.
You have to try it to understand 🤔.
