Second glass at the bar of Sakaizendo Fushimi. This one is easier to drink than the junmai sake, with less spiciness, more umami, and more gas.
It was nice to be able to try it before buying a 4-gouple bottle.
Sawaya Matsumoto, which I enjoyed drinking at the hotel before I got into sake. At that time, it must have been Moribetsu Aizan.
Mildly spicy, with a strong umami aftertaste. It's solidly delicious.
